Hi there, my atrix drops the connection to my operator a few times a day
Switching from 3g to 2g isn't a problem, but as said sometimes it drops completely saying "network with limited service found " and "your sim doesn't allow a connection to this network"
Does anyone knows help?

You're not close to the border or something? It sounds like you don't have your network choice on automatic so when you go out of your provider's coverage area your phone doesn't connect. Try putting the "Operator selection" on automatic

i have Network selection on automatic!
and it works fine until I get completely kicked out. really works with switch between 2g and 3g + data...
I get an cross at the network signal strenght and an error when I retry to login...
I have completely no idea what's wrong, my operator says they don't support until they sell the Moto official with contract...
I flashed back to from 83 to 52 but still the same.
unlocked by vendor At&T atrix with root and activated sideload with an Europe sim

I don't understand how you flashed there but you should flash the 1.2.6 SBF and then do the OTA updates.

I flashed the signed sbf with rsd lite.
1.8.3 ota from which I flashed still got the same problem

No clue then. I'm using it in Germany, also sim-unlocked, without any problems..

just a trick to make max allowed connection from 1 to 8 on gsm/umts network mode
make sure you get 3g network as this doesn't work over 2g connections
just make network mode and select network to automatic
and open mobile hotspot setting>manage devices>device limit
you 'll probably get 8 devices selections

umm....its not a trick, its built-in, in the OS.
Here in the US, the carriers (Sprint for the Photon) control everything about their phones and tethering is one of the features that is locked. They (all) want money from customers and hence force customers to buy a tethering plan.
Fortunately for us, rooting solves the problem.
Not to mention that Airtel will be reporting your data usage to Sprint as an international partner with them. That's the only reason you're even allowed on the Airtel network - because you have an active Sprint account.
You will be billed for data usage and airtime, at international rates without an international plan or a prepaid sim, you better believe that.

I am not using over sprint international roaming.I installed native sim card and getting 8 devices mobile hotspot on 3g network on gsm/umts mode selection. sprint has nothing to do with this.

I appreciate your knowledge.
plz note that motorola photon's new update included 3G UMTS hotspot functionality for a single Wi-Fi enabled device .
release notes: www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Suppor...RN_Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.pdf
so I got it working from one device to 8 devices after switching network mode to automatic.

Please explain how you are getting this for free and how this applies to us? If not Sprint (who provides access and billing to these technologies *outside the US* using the "native" sim card), then who is your gsm/umts provider?

It will not work on Sprint network nor wherever sprint coverage is available as on switching network mode to automatic it will connect to sprint network.
I am using it in india on airtel gsm sim card and "airtelgprs.com" apn for internet connection.Mobile hotspot's data connection is using my airtel's apn which is deducted from my gprs plan.I am using over 3 devices connected from my photon for a month now.
I am able to do this only after updating it to the new ota update available aka 198_6. In the updates release note mobile hotspot over 3g for 1 device has been revealed.you will get device limit as 1 on swiching network mode to gsm/umts. but when u make the network mode to automatic you 'll get device limit as 8 while you are still on 3g gsm network.

So using Airtel in India is free? Or was your title suggesting a free tip to opening the max connections to 8?

I can't get any internet when on g or 3g only when on h. I don't know what's going on. I'm on the latest update. Oh and I'm with Vodafone.
Thanksbkn advance, jay

That is normal when on GSM you only get Edge (E or G) when on WCDMA you get 3G HSDPA connection speeds depending on your contry and zone (ofcorse on the antenna in that area).
No, I'm on auto mode so it selects itself. Its just when the signal drops from a H signal to a 3G signal or a G signal and that's what is displayed on my phone then no internet can be accessed at all. The phone connection is still fine, just internet or anything that uses internet connection, won't load.
I hope that makes more sense

If you had root you could try to flash diffrent modem

I'm a bit confused on the network settings. For example GSM/wcdma,which should I use or leave it to both? What exactly is wcdma? Also on select preffered network do I want GSM or the uxxx (whatever the other is)? As is I get great 4g when I'm out and about but at home my phone just sits with an x in place of signal. Seems it should switch to 2g (is that what T-Mobile calls 3g?) Or g. It occasionally will with good signal but drop it immediately ....

The 4636 menu doesn't do anything on my phone. And the service menu just gives me an error when I go to service providers. This 2g is definitely not 3g its ungodly slow!

Strangest thing, while I was trying to unlock the bootloader with the open (euro?) Version I flashed the radio for it and got 3g and hspa. Only time I've seen it, back on usual jellybean w latest baseband and its 4g or 2g again.

Could you please give details on how to root and unlock the bootloader on the Sprint version? I read that the 4G wimax stops working on the BoostMobile counterpart, so I'm scared :s
