I purchased an unbranded international Sola for my wife to replace her less than stellar Liquid E. She is on Fido here in Canada and from what I have read sofar is that fido still programs their sim cards with their old network ID and correct it in the phones firmware. In other words unlocked phones are always roaming when used with Fido. Is there a way to fix this or would the xperia U fido Rom work on the Sola?

Which root method did you follow? I've rooted a couple Rogers phone and everything works fine.
I ask this because there's an extra step for us in Canada with the x10a instead of the x10i.
If you follow that method it will rebrand it to Rogers. Same thing happened to me.

Is it possible to use my X10 and get 3g? Anyone doing so now? Thanks!

You dont get 3g to begin with? Its all a matter of where you are in the US if your not getting 3g.
Currently I have AT&T and I an looking to switch providers, was going to keep the X10 of I could since I rooted and flashed it. The only UMTS/HSPA bands I see they share in common are 850 & 2100.

Yeah they do use different 3g signals. You'll have to ask T-Mobile honestly. I'm sure if you just put a T-Mobile sim card in there you'll be fine though

I've heard Tmobile and ATT use different 3g bands.
Also, you need to make sure your X10 is not sim locked to use it on Tmobile.

Has anyone used the photon international yet?? I am wondering if the sim needs to be unlocked to use another countries or if I can just put a sim in it and it will work. I couldn't find anything in here saying anything about it.
respuesta
I use it in Colombia and Venezuela, the photon is unlocked gsm in Colombia in me works 100% with all operators and low performance in Venezuela but it works well, of course it can be for the quality of the operator in the two countries but in terms photon generally working well. excuse my English but I use a translator
Lol that's ok thank you for the response. I knew it was locked for domestic gsm but I didn't think it was for international.

I can confirm that the gsm part is unlocked for international carriers.

Yep, works fine for me in New Zealand on my carriers 3G 850/2100 network.
Just make sure you get root access and disable the sprint activation if you plan on using the stock rom otherwise it will take an extra few minutes to boot up.

I got a ATT unlocked Atrix 4G for my parents in India. In US I used it with both ATT and t-mobile and everything was fine.
In India, my Parents have BSNL SIM and Atrix does not connect to the GSM network. Also tried using Vodafone SIM and the same issue.
Can connect to Wifi and add BLUR account.
Can some one throw some ideas on fixing this.
All your time is most appreciated.
Thanks

Check what baseband you are using ? I have AT&T Atrix and it worked fine when I went to India. Even 3G worked fine.
If it is in the USA baseband flash radio again (only if u r unlocked).
If u r not unlocked flash the correct sbf (be very very careful) and ask people before flashing.

Check baseband version from aboutphone. Which firmware are you using?

Radio is most probably stuck to US only
Well something very similar happened to me when i first brought it here to india, it got stuck to us only frequency or something check by dialing *#*#INFO*#*#.
Now if you do not intent to unlock your bootloader and use a custom rom simply plug it in to Motorola software updater and re-install the latest update from there. It fixed the issue for me and effect is similar to installing a SBF but within more secure environment.
I have a ATT Atrix bought in US working for the last 1.5 years in India. Dial the chars between quotes "*#*#4636#*#*". Then under "phone information" check if it is in USA band. If in USA band, only way out is to flash the radio if your phone is having unlocked boot loader and is rooted else you need to flash using SBF. Be very careful while doing this. Do a thorough reading in this forum about flashing radios to avoid bricking your device.
