I have an HTC One on T-Mobile that I have to send back to HTC to get repaired, I need something to tied me over till then. I have a Razr Maxx that I used to have on Verizon previously and want to use that in the interim.
I have read on here that it's unlocked out of the box, but when I put my T-Mobile sim card in it, it doesn't work. What else do I have to do to it in order to get it to function?
The Droid Razr is unlocked. You may want to check with T-Mobile to see if they have recommended access point name (APN) settings. I had to do that to get my US Verizon RAZR to work in Canada. If you are lucky T-Mobile will have information on their support web site.

I got all the APN settings from them, but it's still not working. They say that should only effect data and mms service, but I can't even get my voice to work, but I put the SIM back in my HTC One and it works fine.

The XT912 is Global Unlocked. You can use it on other GSM carriers outside the US only. You are stuck on Verizion inside the US.

I saw it somewhere that the verizon LTE droid razr actually supports dual network mode, in other words, GSM and CDMA.
I wonder if someone who has the verizon version can verify this. I am sure a lot of people are interested.
Also, I might switch to the verizon version from my galaxy nexus GSM version if it is real...
Thank you and happy new year !
No it is not supporting GSM

I think it has the radios but Verizon had them disabled (gsm that is)

Yup. It has them disabled.
The XT910 however, has the GSM radios. I believe Rogers has it.
Shame on Verizon. They always do something like cutting functions off.
There are engineering prototype floating around and there are pictures showing the dual mode.
Hope one day this thing got an unlocked radio.
Well technically it is enabled for LTE. LTE uses a version of GSM. Thats why you have a sim card from VZW

Yea, but he means able to work on gsm bands (850/900/1800/2100). These bands are hardwared into the droid razr, but like everyone else stated its locked by Verizon. And there is no way around to unlocking it to work. It's a shame, but perhaps in a few months we'll see a "world" phone version of the droid razr. But knowing Verizon, they'd charge extra for a phone with the same hardware, just a new name. Haha.
According to this the Razr has GSM 850/1900 support in its sim card slot. That means if you can unlock (via Verizon key or possibly a custom rom) you should be able to use a third party sim card.

You know, you could just grab the Rogers or Int'l versions, they work on at&t just fine
Any idea why my phone keeps jumping between 60% and 70% on the charger? Was using my N1 charger at first, and it stayed at 60%, finally jumped straight to 70% with the included Motorola charger.
There is definately GSM capability or at least someone wrote settings code for it. These are 2 screen shots from my CDMA Vzn phone.
The settings are greyed out however.

it's one of the reasons that moto has to keep the bootloader locked up. VZW would FREAK so loud their master in Hell could hear them if people started to flash their phones to work on att, or worse...
Both the Droid 2 Global and Droid 3 were locked down not to be used on the GSM networks here in the states and a couple of guys on xda got it working for us. On another note the HTC Rezound is also working on gsm thanks to some
Verizon has already said that the global GSM roaming capabilities will be enables at some point in the future for the Droid 4. They said having them currently blocked at this point was due to "network limitations." Since the internals of the Droid 4 are pretty much identical to the RAZR/RAZR MAXX, it's possible Verizon will enable the feature on those phones as well...or maybe that a developer can enable them once the Droid 4 gets it.
I use an app called phone info to get into the info menus quickly, select Phone Information. I have a GSM Razr and I can switch my radio to CDMA from GSM or Auto (CDMA/GSM) using a dropdown menu. Can you definitely not do this with the US Droid Razr?
Hopefully some developer is working on a workaround for the verizon ICS build to work on GSM ,cant they just add the radio from the CM9 aokp builds ?

I checked out the app. It does give you the choice to switch to GSM but Idk if it'll work and Idk how to tell if it works.

yeah that's the snag unless you are sim unlocked and can try a friends AT&T SIM Card?

I see so it might be possible if you are sim unlocked and have a different sim card.

Hey i currently have a samsung epic with sprint, and i got a verizon motorola droid x2 from a friend and i was wondering if anyone knew how to unlock it so i can use it with my sprint service.
-please help-
Thank you--
The x2 can't be unlocked to work on sprint. Motorola and verizon make sure of that
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
Damn there's no way around it?? well i guess i now have a Droid x2 up for sale haha,
1 of my employees have a droid x and it is on metro pcs andbsays Verizon on the phone.
There has to be a way to unlock it to work with any network........
Verizon has historically been pretty much the only mobile service provider in the US that still runs of the aging CDMA network. CDMA was the frontrunner around 10 years ago, but right now, GSM is king almost globally. The biggest downside of CDMA is that it doesn't require a SIM card, which means that for all non-4G services you're forced to use the inbuilt antenna, which runs only on CDMA. If you want truly global capabilities, get the Inc2 or, for that matter, any 4G phone. Those need SIMs for the LTE service, which means it has a SIM port, which means you could theoretically hack the phone to run on anything. The DX2, unfortunately, has no such support.
Is there any chance to unlock Motorola Droid X2 (verizon) ?
I have a chance to buy a Verizon Droid X2 at a great price. If I unlock the phone will I be able to use it on US Cellular prepaid? I searched and couldn't find an answer to this question, I don't want to buy the phone if there is no chance it will work. (I'm in very rural area and US Cellular is my only option for getting a signal at home)
Thanks in advance for the help!
You would have to have a phone dx2 or maybe a mx2 that works on uscel of your account then use qpst to backup service programming and more see my post about qpst but it still may fail.
Wait.
Does uscel sell a dx2 or mx2?

I think they may sell the MX2, but i doubt the DX2.
nvm US Cellular doesn't sell the MX2. The only Motorola phone they have is the Electrify which is the brother of the Photon, so I believe unlocked bootloader.
I realize that USC doesn't sell the Droid X2, but it's a cdma phone and should be capable of operating on US Cellular. I was just wanting to know if it would work if I unlocked and rooted the phone. I'm just not sure if USC would activate an unlocked phone that didn't originally come from USC.
I guess a simpler way to ask would be, "can a Verizon phone be unlocked and activated on USC since they are both CDMA"?
Its been done on a few networks that i know of, have health of success on both altell and cricket with a dx2 both networks are cdma, but there were lots of problems getting em working

Ok so i bought this razr off of craigslist and its a solid device so i dont want to give up on it it seems that it has been flashed to an unknown carrier all i know is the phone number that shows up in settings is area code 323 and wont go away i tried to activate it at a verizon and they got it all set up on their end but the device itself wasn't cooperating the rep at verizon tried to make a test call but it kept going to an automated message saying my account is out of funds and can not complete this call wtf? And we checked to see if the phone number changed it aaaand it didnt After three techs over the phone we couldn't get the damned thing to work The device wouldn't connect to verizons phone/text network but we did manage to get get lte i went to settings to see if i can update to 4.0 because its still running 2.3.6 but the button was greyed out... so im assuming its sum sort of rom made for a different carrier but im probably wrong
Any help i would immensely appreciated i use this device on wifi and even on gb i like it its so sweet i really wanna set this bad boy up

You need qpst cdma workshop. Google razr on cricket or metro pcs and follow those steps but install prl from vzw. Also check to see if phone is in cdma only mode.

Hi all,
First of all sorry for my bad english,
Last month my nephew gave me Motorola Droid Maxx xt912 Verizon, this device is brand new one.
I injected CDMA from local provider and it works flawlesly, but the problem come when I want to use the GSM (for your information I live in Indonesia).
When I want to use the GSM with inserting local provider micro simcard I can make phone call and SMS but I cant use the data, I'm sure I already set the APN correctly. I tried with 3 other local providers and still cant connect the data. Right now the phone running stock ICS Rom 4.0.4.
Really appreciate It if someone can give me a clue to solve this problem.
Thanks and regards
Hopefully APN settings

Hi,
I am having the same Droid Razr Maxx XT912 on GSM.
I added APN manually and Data Works fine. Check your APN again.
In APN Type You must add "default, supl".
Remove the quotes..
What carrier are you using? Which country?
Do you by chance know the apn for Cricket 4g?
