Hi,
i have a verizon droid 3, i live in Argentina and im trying to get the 3g running...
I applied the radio flash described here. 3g is still not working, but now Swype is also not working.
When I try to use it it says something about the license and it doesnt work.
I first tried it with the build.prop with the model=xt883, then changed it to droid3 but still no luck.
Anyone knows how to fix, at least my scrybe issues? And if anyone else can help me with the 3g would be awesome
Thanks!
What exactly is it not doing. And swype is probably another issue entirely.

Huh? You changed the model in build.prop to Droid 3? Pretty sure its supposed to be xt883 in the first place, your supposed to use the build.prop in the thread
And I thought the droid 3 was a global phone anyway, even the verizon version
Swype doesnt work at all, its activated but not working.
I changed the model in the build.prop just to see if this was the problem, but apparently something in the radio.img has broken my swype. Is that possible?
Btw, droid3 isnt global. Here in latin america is known as milestone 3, and apparently verizon's droid 3 is a pain in the ass if you want to use 3g here...

If you are using this device is South America then why are you trying to band unlock it? The band unlock was designed for use with AT&T & T-Mobile inside the US. If you are using outside of the US you do not need to perform this procedure.
You probably should flash your device back to stock, make sure you sim unlock it and setup your APN settings.
After flashing back to stock reboot in recovery(hold x then press and hold power, then volume up & down once you see the android!) and perform a factory data reset. Hopefully this will solve your swype issue as well.

what he said
the GSM BANDLOCK is only to prevent the phone to connect to USA networks but in southamerica as long as you have the 850 band it should work! (ATT, TELCEL MX, Others)
you should flash the stock mentioned by devicesnow
(link in my signature if you have/had version xt862 v 5.6.890 or before if you had version 5.7.90X then there are other SBFs that would help)
once in stock change to GSM mode and add APNs if you are on an 850 network it should give 3g and in an 800 (like t-mobile in USA) network should give you edge
also check you are SIM-unlocked (different from band unlocked) so you can detect sims different to verizon.
What a coincidence, I bought my Droid to DevicesNow in eBay haha
When I first received it, it never worked in 3G... I have the APN set up and everything, but still not working...
I'm now using a non-Verizon sim for calls and sms, so the phone is sim-unlocked right?
I'll try applying the sbf, but since it never worked frm the first minute.. I don't think it wil now.
Thanks for your help.

Hello axel.isr,
The Motorola Droid 3 works on 3G Networks HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. Claro, Personal & Movistar all support 850/1900.
Yes the device is sim unlocked if you are using already for voice and sms. If it wasn't sim unlocked you would be promoted to enter a sim pin code upon powering up the device with your non network sim card installed.
Which device were you using prior to the D3? Do you have a data plan associated with your sim card? Which carrier exactly are you using and what APN settings have you entered into the device?
You can download an app that automatically enters your carriers APN settings for you called tweakker here.
So.. I went back to stock with the sbf, wiped data and everything but still no 3G.
I tried using my sim card in a ZTE N720 and I get 3g connection.
I've tried a lot of apn settings but none of them worked, I also tried Tweake with standard and alternative settigns but still no luck...
Should I have to change the radio, baseband or something? I already have the radio set up to work on GSM auto (prl).

I called my carrier to get the apn setting again, changed it and now I at least get Edge connection
If I want to get 3G instead of Edge is there something I can change in my D3 settings or it has something to do with the 3g coverage in my area?
Btw, thanks a lot to everyone for helping me out. Specially to DevicesNow for my awesome D3, I totally love it <3

Glad to see your up and running.
3G will work when in coverage areas and there isn't anything that would need to be done to enable this.

So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!
try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.
Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA App
Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.
Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well
the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.
above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.
Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA
make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.
I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.
It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM
Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?
i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.
Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?
it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

Hey, I'm in Australia (GSM) and I purchased a Motorola Droid 3 (XT862) from America a few months ago.
Should I have bought the XT860 (GSM version)?
I was with Optus but because they don't support the 850mhz network I switched to Vodafone because they had it. So now I atleast have data working on my phone after those months of not having it, but vodafone sucks, especially on this phone (text messages sometimes don't send/signal cuts out all the time) but the 3G is very good.
The phone I previously had before the Droid 3 was a HTC Tmobile G2 which I had also bought from America, and everything worked perfectly.
If I buy the XT860 will it fix everything?
On the Motorola website it says the XT862 and XT860 have the same networks... but the XT680 is supposed to be used on GSM, so would it work fine?
Sorry if I confused anyone, I'm really baked.
Thanks in advance for anyone trying to help
Maybe you could try the T-MOBILE AT&T hack?
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
i have XT 862, on GSM and it works perfectly. More than that, I use also vodafone
The xt860 (and xt883) would not be any better; all they (along with the xt862) support UTMS 850/1900/2100mHz. Thus, you probably didn't get a lot of 3G on the Optus network (which uses 900/2100mHz). The main Vodafone 3G network in Aus is 900/2100mHz, but they are in the process of rolling out an 850mHz network.
Telstra Next-G uses 850mHz (and they have 2100mHz as well, but only in cities I believe)
Anyway, in brief: If you're willing to switch to Telstra, you should get great results. If not, Vodafone is the next best option.
I have xt862 on optus in Austraia. I just stay in global mode. I did experiment around with some of the custom roms but found weirdnesses like my calls not coming thru. I went back to stock and now im going to stay on stock until cm9 reaches release. Im not having any issues on stock.
Hope this helps

Just did it, I suppose it improved the situation a tiny bit, but i'm not sure.
I will do some tests on the Telstra network, see if it's better than Vodafone.
Im using the phone in Global mode atm and I'm getting a decent 3-4 bars instead of the 1 or 2 i'd normally get which excites me
And the network type is displaying HSPA.
But I cannot send text messages, everytime, it just says "Text message not sent" which is very annoying. Anyone know anything about this? When I swapped over to Vodafone from Optus I could send texts but after a point it just stopped working...
Anyone know anything about this?
thanks
So does the droid 3 bought from usa connect to data services with optus at all?
How fast is data transfer in "global" mode?
late reply i know, but I'm on TPG [Optus network] in Qld, Aus with the droid 3 XT862.
from memory, all i've done is done the 'hack' to show actual reception, rather than 1 bar. I run the phone on the global setting.
I just ran a speedtest.net check, got an internode server in Sydney. ping 139ms, DL 5241kbps, UL 1202kbps.
OP, when you were with Optus, did you go through your account settings and make sure you had 3G data turned on for your phone, etc? I'm not trying to patronise or anything, but it always helps to start with the basics when fault finding.
Regards,
Hi All,
Im also in Australia, with Vodafone, and am looking at getting myself a Droid 3 as well.
Since the phones aren't released here, what happens about software updates? Im assuming they won't happen via OTA?
Im leaning towards the XT860, rather than the XT862, any particular reason to go for either?
Thanks,

No difference between them but the xt860 has more dedicated roms here. Both are the same phone and just build.prop edits are needed to get the phones up and running in 5 mins. OTA updates will still work anywhere tho if you root and mod your phone don't use use the OTA feature as you will screw your phone.
All you need to do select wcdma/gsm mode and manually put in your service provider APNs to get 3G. Find this on the Voda site.

I managed to get a xt862, but I cant get data working on optus? (live connected)
calls/text works - tried global mode, tried GSM/UMTS mode, tried manually selecting optus 3g network, made sure the data setting was enabled which is actually under "battery & data manager". Already manually input the optus apn.
what am I missing?
Do you have to do the tmobile at&t hack? running everything stock from factory; or will rooting the phone/install ics help?
I have the one bar reception bug which I read on another thread if that makes a difference.
nvm, got it to work, for some reason manually inputting an APN didnt work, had to find the optus site and send it via sms.
Speed isnt too bad.
The next problem now though is wireless hotspot. It connects but no data goes through for some reason

Make sure the SIM card is seated firmly and is making a good connection perhaps. Could also be an issue with APN configuration.

The sim is inserted correctly, apn is correct (worked good before rooting). Factory reset didn't solve the problem. I think, that rooted droid 3 cant get the data plan outside of usa.
That's very odd, I've never heard of that happening before. One other thing is to toggle airplane mode and leave it for one minute and switch back. Sometimes that gets data working.

T-Mobile APN updated automatically. i said that in my original post. i believe my AHD is on ICS 4.0.4 is there an update above this that may be causing the issue? like i said, it is unlocked with ATT Sim Lock code but will not receive service except for Emergency Calls only. when the T-Mobile sim is inserted the network bars disappear but the APN updates
It looks like the phone is successfully unlocked.
You can double check the APN settings against the ones recommended by T-Mobile or even create a custom APN with these settings.
Is the SIM card activated? Does it get signal on another phone? If you use the Phone Info app or any other app that lets you in the hidden testing menu, can you check if you get signal if you change the preferred network type to GSM only or to WCDMA only? WARNING: Do not change the radio band.
FYI I'm on T-Mobile with ICS 4.0.4 and I've got signal in multiple places in the US and roaming overseas.

Hello all- I have not found a definitive answer so will post my question here as well. I have a chance to get a Lumia 928 (Verizon) but would like to know if I can use it in New Zealand with my Vodafone SIM. I am not sure if there will be limitations such as maps, etc.. not working.
Cheers for any help, LL13- :victory:
LTE will not work in any country besides the US. Aside from that the 928 shouldn't have any issues with taking a different SIM, as all 928s are SIM unlocked when they shipped from the factory. Before you leave though, I highly recommend you download access point via sysapp pusher in the marketplace/store. Sysapp will check for any and all OEM apps that need updating.

The one warning I would give you with the 928 is that the APN settings are a little messed up, and you may need to play around with it a bit to get them to work. My experience (using the 928 on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US) is that you need to manually set the APN settings, even when Nokia Access Point says that the SIM settings are activated. You can usually get data fine, but MMS's don't work properly if you don't manually set the APN
If possible, avoid doing it with Nokia Access Point, because if you do you will lose the ability to use LTE when you get back on Verizon until you do a hard reset (you can't recover the appropriate Verizon LTE APN settings - it will only connect to CDMA 3g). Now that GDR2 is out, you can seemingly manually set the APN's in the Cellular menu of settings, so try using that first and if it fails, copy the correct APN settings into a new Access Point APN, then manually activate it. This has fixed my issue every time, but again, necessitated a hard reset / wipe of the phone to use on Verizon's LTE network.
Cheers for that information AR...
I can enter those settings manually, I've got them memorised :silly:
Cheers again, LL13- :good:
Wow very confusing topic, I mean the process of finding out whether data/mms will work outside of Verizon US, it seems it can not. Too bad as it's a beauty of a phone.

Its not that quite confusing.
LTE is only good for the country it was released in. The international LTE bandplan is different for every country, none of them match up. For using a CDMA carrier, switching to them will require a SIM (there isn't any way to flash the settings onto the phone yet for those providers who don't yet have LTE without it being official from Nokia) so its kinda a dead end.
If your going to a GSM provider, just insert your SIM and manually add the settings for data and mms. You can use Access Point if you don't intend on using Verizon's LTE.

It seems that the main issue would be with the LTE which would not be a problem since I am not even sure what it is !! I believe it may have to do with 4G or fast download speeds but there is no 4G in my town anyway.
I saw one post on another forum saying that some 928's had no way to add/edit APN settings, etc...
Each post and person seems to have a different experience, but if I can simply get a 3G data connection and normal use I would be happy.
I may just go for it then.

Wow very confusing topic, I mean the process of finding out whether data/mms will work outside of Verizon US, it seems it can not. Too bad as it's a beauty of a phone.

When you travel abroad and use the phone on a GSM carrier you will get data up to HSPA+, unless the carrier happens to share Verizons LTE band. The issue with Verizon LTE after you have used another APN is that Access Point won't deactivate all the APN settings,and since Verizon doesn't have dedicated APN data settings, it doesn't override properly and connect toVZW LTE properly without a hard reset.
The 928 has a CDMA radio as well as a fully unlocked GSM radio
Access Point App and Verizon LTE

I have also experienced this loss of Verizon LTE after using the Nokia Access Point app and foreign SIM in Europe. Does anyone know if there is a way to get LTE back other then hard resetting the phone?

a hard reset is required as the access point app changes the LTE settings and can't change it back completely.

I can get dataconnection in sweden, and i can install the nokia app for changing APN, and i can change the APN manually too, but i cannot get MMS to work, nor in or out.
any suggestions? i talked to my carrier and they helped me with the right info, but nada.

Try limiting the connection to 3G or 2G. T-Mobile users reported this as a workaround.
