I have an unrooted ATT version of the nexus one. Randomly about 1 or 2 times a day while I am texting I will get a failed to send message and no matter how many times I try it just keeps failing. It won't allow me to send texts to anyone else either. however I continue to receive texts which is kinda odd.... the worst part is that always while this is happening I cannot make or receive phone calls this is very frustrating since I could be missing phone calls and wouldn't know it until I try and send an SMS or make a call. I have tried a lot of different things such as setting my bands to USA and setting my network preference to WCDMA Only but to no avail... I also tried a factory reset... also if I try and toggle airplane mode or turn off the radio it just crashes and I need to reboot.. if i try checking the SMSC while this is occurring but hitting the refresh button
I get refresh error and if I try and update it with the correct number I get update error... I really love my N1 and would really appreciate anyone who could shed some light on this issue
Re: My Nexus One won't send text messages or make phone calls unless I reboot
Could this be an AT&T network issue? I had similar symptoms with my HTC Hero (admittedly running EDGE) in certain parts of San Francisco earlier this year. It seemed to be the result of network congestion. Does this occur in a city or other urban area?

I am actually not on AT&T I am on Rogers network in Canada. I am living in Toronto so the 3G coverage is really good and I`ve never had this kind of issue with my previous phone which was a BB9000 and none of my friends seem to have any of these problems
I also found ppl on some other nexus one forums describing the exact same problem which leads me to believe its not a network issue but I am still not 100% sure I tried calling Rogers and had them do a cancel location and it didn`t fix the issue either
I had this issue only this morning and I'm in the UK, I put the phone into Airplane mode and back again and then everything is fine.
I have this issue about once a day.
Running the newest Cyanogen with no other modifications. Radio is the most updated one available.
Flipping to Airplane mode and backed worked on my G1 if I had an issue similar to this but the Nexus doesn't respond to it.
I reboot atleast once a day to fix this. -- Not sure if it's the radio or Cyanogen.
Anyone else have some input?
EDIT: Should have included, I am on T-Mobile
This actually happened with me today, a text kept failed and didn't get pushed through until I reset the phone. I'm hoping this doesn't turn into a daily thing
next time this happens if it happens again could u guys try and make a phone call before resetting so we can see if our problems are identical?
Thanks
This sounds like a problem I have had for several months now on T-Mobile (I just bumped the thread under the "General" topic to see if there were any developments, as I've been away from the board for six weeks or so). The symptoms I have are that the signal strength icon in the status bar shows zero bars with an "x" and the home screen says "No service." When I attempt to power off, after a while the spinning arrow stops spinning, the trackball flashes once, and then the phone reboots (takes about 45 seconds to a minute after I initiate the power-down before the reboot starts).

I am unable to make phone calls, send texts, etc. until I reset. It has no impact on Wifi but kills the cell network completely.

I also have a long delay after hitting restart when I get this issue. Maybe Ill try to get a logcat and see what it gets stuck on..
I'm getting RMA'ed, again, for the same issue plus not being able to register on the network after I get the x with four blank bars. I get either "error searching for networks" or "sim is invalid on this network". It's since fixed itself... somehow but i was without any phone service despite trying everything (calling tmobile for network outages, hard reset, reseating the sim card, other stuff) for about 3-4 hours twice now... and a few shorter time periods (1-3 minutes of those errors) before that.
Possible solutions.. which I've only done after it started working again but didn't cause anything bad to happen. So far have been without any of the previous issues, plus my original long standing issue of not being able to send texts, get any sort of data, or call (I call it the up arrow without a down arrow problem where the phone is trying to connect but doesn't receive anything back). These solutions were originally posted here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3f4ad5ffac46bf92&hl=en
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=47dc569ca9667ba7&hl=en
They're also solutions I've come up with for my issue as well and seemed to have worked for a couple of others.
It's as follows:
*#*#4636#*#* and selecting phone information. Press the menu button and select the proper band. I'm guessing if you're in canada on rogers which uses the same band as AT&T US you'd select USA band. Anyway after selecting it should re register on the network.. close out of there. Turn off and turn on the phone and see how that goes. For people in other regions I have no idea what to properly select but it was posted on one of the threads on the google forums that it should be "automatic". Check with your provider and/or google tech support.
Another thing I've seen is again in the *#*#4636#*#* menu under phone information put in (THIS NUMBER IS ONLY VALID FOR TMOBILE USA) under SMSC 12063130004 and press update. Call your provider for your number. Restart the phone.
Less likely solutions (in order of descending likeliness to help you in your particular case):
Hard reset and/or verify the APN settings for your carrier. I've been told non factory default APN values for tmobile over the phone (google support) so I don't know if verifying them or asking for them will help or cause more issues but sometimes there's apps the mess with the APN values which could cause some of your issues. So while this has a high potential to help, it's easy to screw up. Hard resetting the phone will give you factory default values (I'm 99% certain but from what I remember). Changing them from non factory default isn't a terrible thing however call your provider rather than google tech support for the values.
Calling up and asking to add/verify the IMEI number to the network (i never did this until recently although it didn't fix my issue right when they added it anyway) and/or doing a network cancellation might help. Unlikely but if you' RMA'ed once they'll have the wrong one on file and could cause issues depending on the network.
Replacing the SIM card. Takes literally 30 seconds. They ask for account info at the store, they scan the new one.. and give it to you. You pop it in and go. If you have an older SIM card this DEFINITELY could be the issue. Its unlikely its defective but it's always worth ruling that out.
Let me know if any of these help.

I`ve tried all the solutions u`ve mentioned except for swapping to a new SIM card... I guess it might just be my next step but I have my doubts
I get this kind of issue occasionally, under these specific conditions only:
1. I'm at work.
2. I bring my phone with me into an area with no signal (screen says no signal, and I have 4 blank bars with an X) for more than a couple of minutes (for me, it's the room with the coffee machine - which I use a lot - no provider gets signal there on any phone).
3. It doesn't always happen, just sometimes, but when I go back to my desk, it won't reconnect.
4. Going into and out of airplane mode fixes it every time. However, with the latest CM and Ivan's Diet kernels, going into and out of airplane mode causes an immediate reboot when I try to come out of it, and only when I'm NOT connected by USB and when I AM coming from "dead" service, making logging the problem, well, problematic. Using other kernels (even OC'd kernels) does not seem to cause this airplane mode problem.
Only had this happen once trying to send a plain old SMS. I restarted the phone and no problem. I didn't think of trying to make cell calls, but if it happens again, I'll try that.
I too have had this issue with SMS. My browser works though when the SMS problem occurs. Haven't tried a phone call. I am on T-Mobile USA.
Are any of you using task-killers that may somehow be interrupting an important background service?
I have the same exact thing happen and I am on T-mobile US. I was hoping that I wasn't the only one but it seems to happen on all of my phones so I have just chalked it up to network congestion. Unless someone has an actual answer.
I have this issue about once a day.
Running the newest Cyanogen with no other modifications. Radio is the most updated one available.
Flipping to Airplane mode and backed worked on my G1 if I had an issue similar to this but the Nexus doesn't respond to it.

This helps with the switch from Edge -> 3G -> H.
I wonder if it would fix this issue.
I don't have the issue so I am unable to test myself.
This link may help. Its at least something to try.

I am using Advanced Task Killer Free, but I'm pretty sure I added important background services to the ignore list so they shouldn't be killed.
Just to double check, what background tasks shouldn't be killed?
I've never had a need to roam until at the job site I've been working for the past few months, so this was never a known issue. When I try to make a call, the phone rings a few times, then transfers to a Verizon recording saying "unable to verify your phone, please hold while we transfer you to a Verizon operator."
Currently running DamageControl v2.09.01, but have tried with several Fresh builds(2.0d-2.33) as well, all with the same result.
As far as the radio goes, I've tried: 2.42.01.04.27(current),2.42.00.03.10, 1.04.01.09.21(1.5 stock radio) and 2.32.40.11.03(Verizon radio)
My PRL is current at 60668, but have had this problem since 60664. And have tried updating my profile multiple times. PRI is 1.70_003. ##786# didn't help either.
Any ideas anyone? Sprint is useless as always, just suggesting to do things I've already dne such as update profile and PRL. My fear is that I will have to run the new RUU and re-root in hopes that it will resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.
Anyone?!??
Around my work I have had this exact issue.. I listened to the message which gives the tower number and route and called Sprint to report the tower. The rep on the phone took all the information and sent out a tech to the area to track the tower down. You might try the Antenna app. (the one that pinpoints the location of the towers). It has been happening to me for a 2 months. It seems to affect other sprint phones too... if it gets too bad I would find out the tower and see if you can edit your PRL list to exclude it.
Hmm, I've never gotten a message with any tower information. Will try again tonight. I guess maybe I should try to find another area that my phone will roam in and see if the same happens also.

Try going into the Phone Information menu.
In the Dialer, type *#*#INFO#*#*. (INFO = 4636)
Then touch Phone Information.
Scroll down and you should see a line that says "Set preferred network type:" followed by a drop-down menu.
Does it say "CDMA auto (PRL)"? If not, follow these steps:
hit Menu, then tap Select radio band. You'll get a Force Close and that's okay. Let it reload all that stuff, then change the drop-down menu to "CDMA auto (PRL)". Then back out of everything, reboot. Once the phone comes back on, go back into *#*#4636#*#* and into Phone Information to see if that setting sticks. That may fix some of your network and roaming problems.
@chromium, thanks, but I've checked all that as well, just forgot to mention it in the op.

Just an update to this, I switched to CM6rc1 which has the option to force roaming, and it doesn't matter where I am I still get the verizon recording. Whats even stranger, it says if this problem persists call #8899. The recording on that number says, "Cingular no longer supports 611 roaming service"
For anyone who cares, I took the plunge, ran the RUU, re-rooted, nandroided back and wah-la...it works now...
Hi-I'm normally a Captivate user, asking here regarding my fiancee's phone, which we got after she smashed her third Aria.
I made sure I bought an AT&T 3G capable Nexus One, and then right away flashed CM7 on it.
Here are my issues:
1. The phone never ever says 3g. Always says E, even when we know we're 3g. (my captivate showing 3g, for example.)
2. There seems to be weird data issues---we use google voice for texting, and for some reason she'll often go hours or days before messages are delivered. Nobody else has this issue.
Is it possible I have a bad flash, or do I need a new modem/radio, anyone have any ideas? She doesn't really make any use of most of the CM7 features, maybe should just go back to AOSP...
At least regarding issue 1 there's a way to toggle data to stay in 3g or 2g mode through the default Power Control widget. It was a nightmare me because it doesn't change right away and I couldn't tell if it had switched bands or was in the process of doing so.
Can't help ya with the google talk issue since I don't use it.
It would help knowing what radio you are running before we let you know whether you should upgrade or not.
And how did you make sure you bought a 3G capable phone? Was it just in the description, or did you actually verify part numbers?
I would also verify you have a clean install by going into recovery and MANUALLY wiping the /system partition. If you want to be really thorough you can perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. This will completely erase your phone (including the OS). Then just install CM7 and the latest gapps.
Also, it does need to be said... just in case. As Eesti mentioned, make sure "Enable 2G" under Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network isn't enabled.
Thanks for the responses, sorry I"m just getting back.
It's currently running the 5.08 modem, which is the one everyone says to use unless you're in Korea, right?
I bought it new from a seller on ebay several months ago, and no I guess I didn't verify part numbers but I very specifically bought from a dude with perfect feedback and an auction that guaranteed it. How would I check part number?
I'll check the hard setting---I found the notification widget for 2g/3g, and it says "2g3g" with the light, tapping it makes it say 2g, so I'm assuming it's on.
I tried the "Force into 3g mode" setting by entering debug mode or whatever @ the dialer, setting it's set to WS....whatever...preferred, set it to "ws only" and it shows no signal @ all.
The s/n is behind the battery on the sticker.
I previously mentioned in the Bionic [Request] thread that the steps for making a RAZR work on PagePlus were the same as a Bionic, however, that statement is not entirely accurate. There is no *#*#4636#*#* on a RAZR, and as such, there seems to be no way at the moment to get 3G data. Picture messaging works if you install VZW messages from the market.
Here is what I did:
First and foremost, use the IMEI but drop the last digit. This is your MEID. Call Pageplus, or find a pageplus dealer who is nice enough to activate it for you, and give them this MEID. You will have to call pageplus cs after you are finished with the following programming to get the MEID put back on the phone. I don't know why this is, and I am not going to give you any kind of technical BS to make it look like I do.
1. Put phone into BP Tools mode by powering off, then pressing both up and down volume and power. Volume down to BP Tools and Volume up to choose it.
2. Install the latest Motorola Driver for your phone from: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
3. Connect the phone to the PC, and let the driver install complete.
4. Run HW Virtual Serial Port, and login with the password "admin" (it is already there by default, so just hit enter).< no longer necessary
5. Set the IP as 192.168.16.2, with the port as 11008.
6. Choose com port 100.
7. Open CDMA-Workshop 3.7 or higher (There is no known copy floating around for free. Either find someone who has it installed already, or pay the $108 like I did... if you're like me, you'll find ways to recoup your money. I have made it back a few times over already.) Choose COM port and click CONNECT.
8. Click on Security, SPC and send 000000. Do this EVERYTIME you reconnect the phone. Everytime. Don't forget this.
9. Click on Main and go down to where it says CDMA and change it to CDMA-2.
10. Under R-UIM change config to NV Only.
11. Click on the "Other" tab. At PRL, choose write and write the pageplus prl (51720 only) to it. Google for this, it's out there. Write to phone.
12. REBOOT the phone.
13. Reconnect and resend SPC.
14. On the MAIN tab, switch CDMA-2 back to CDMA.
15. Write 310 to MCC, 00 to MNC, and your MIN. Leave True IMSI alone.
16. Write 283, 384 to P CH; and 691 and 777 S CH.
17. Write your mobile number to the DIR_Number and DIR_PCS fields. Write to phone.
18. Change CDMA to EDVO.
19. under PPP User and HDR User write your phone number [email protected], with vzw for the password.
20. under Teth. NAI write your number [email protected].
21. Click on m.ip profiles
22. NAI is the same as 19. T NAI is the same as 20. The shared Secret fields are both VZW.
23. If necessary, change the P. HA address to 255.255.255.255.
24. Click X, then write to phone.
25. Disconnect the phone and reboot it. You are done with CDMA workshop.
26. On your phone, under Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > network mode change to CDMA only.
27. Connect to wi-fi and download phone in Play Store (Android Market)
28. Open phone info and go to phone information. Scroll down to set preferred network type and change it to CDMA auto (prl) and toggle DNS Check to allowed.
29. ##Program on your dialer, use "000000" for SPC code, and go to 3> Extended NAM and change the SID to whatever your SID is.
30. Back once to 06 Test Mode, next twice, then make sure network mode is CDMA and EVDO
31. Back once and go to 14 LTE Test Settings. Change SIM Type to 3g, LTE bppanic to disable. Back twice to reboot. Remove SIM Card while rebooting.
32. Back to ##Program 14, disable class1 and class2 APNs and back out. Phone will reboot.
That's it. I have 3g working on 173. Haven't gotten it on 181 or on the ICS leak, though, but, I have a droid razr on my prepaid 29.99/month plan, and couldn't be happier.
Any questions? Please message me. I will respond ASAP.

Think this method would work on the Droid 4 (XT894) as well?
Was considering sending one to Beigephone for programming. However I'd like to learn how to do this myself, so when the time comes if I need to reprogram the phone again, I can do it.
I could only assume so. But, I didn't know if the RAZR would work until I tried it for myself.
I have tried following your guide, and I just had a few things to add from my experience.
Between steps 7 and 8, I had to use 'Read' at the top of CDMA Workshop for it to allow me to enter the SPC code. I clicked the top Read, and I got this message:
DM baud rate has been automatically switched from 38400 to 921600
I was then able to input the SPC.
Furthermore, I was unable to read all of the information from the phone. The top Read worked fine, but the one in the Main tab could only pull certain information. Likewise, the Write button could only write some of the information, and was unable to write all the information under the M.IP Profiles section.
I actually was unable to try and complete the flash because the customer had to leave for work, so he ended up selling me the phone, haha. Any idea why CDMA WS kept erroring out halfway through writing the information?
I also have tried undoing everything through factory reset and changing the mode back to R-UIM only so I could sell it for Verizon, but even after changing the R-UIM settings back, the phone keeps saying there's no SIM card =/
that is the hard way. try this link for the easy way. i have done the razr and droid 4 with this method. i started with the bionic and i am sure it will work on the razr maxx. it doesn't cost a thing.
try this (post #25)

Instead of creating a Virtual Port. Just boot into BP Tools by pressing the Vol Up and Down buttons from power off. Scroll to BP Tools and press the Vol Up Button. I Used CDMA Workshop. Under CDMA2 Change it to NV Only. Writed a PP PRL. Mine took very easily. 3G was a bit harder but it does work. Most people report that it will only go 1x. After a bit of tweaking it switched to 3G and everything is running perfect.
I have successfully done a RAZR and RAZR MAXX the last 2 days. The process is the same on both.
(Trying to remember, don't have phone in front of me)
Boot up phone with SIM in, remove SIM upon reaching home screen.
##PROGRAM + SEND, enter 000000 for lock code.
Option 6 (Test Mode), hit next until you see Network Mode. Change it to CDMA and EVDO.
Go back to menu, option 14 (LTE Settings), change Sim Type to 3G UICC Test.
Reboot phone.
Go back into ##PROGRAM, option 1 (User Activation) and punch in your correct MIN, MDN and so forth.
There is another option for SMS/MMS settings that I had to change the MML server to [email protected] for text to work. Wasn't able to text MMS because the customer ran out of data
Make sure in your Data Manager under Settings that you have it set to roam for all trips or you won't get any data.
I'd like someone else to try this if they can, being that I sold both my RAZR and RAZR MAXX and I forgot to document the process, haha. If I come across another one, I'll be sure to update this reply.
I had 3G data, voice, text, and I believe MMS was working.
Hope this helps someone!

when i rebooted and tried to enter the MIN, MDN etc. it said "Failed to get call NAM information" and would not let me save after i entered the info.
are you starting with a fresh sim? The sim i am using is from the previous owner

I'm pretty sure I had to put the SIM back in, program the information, and go into the Data Manager to allow global roaming access.
I was able to get the RAZR MAXX working yesterday following some instructions provided by RemotesquaD (when you purchase their flashing software), and like a big dummy I had it working and tried flashing it with their software so I could get MMS working and it killed the data on the phone. I have sat here the last 4 hours trying to figure it out for this customer, and I am going crazy. I've tried everything, and the only thing I can conceive as a viable reason it won't work is because the phone had been previously activated on Verizon..
Can anyone confirm or deny this? I've tried several 4G SIMs to get through activation and then re-program it to no avail.
If only there was a way to completely revert this phone back to stock, settings and all so I could try from scratch =/ I feel like I might have a country code or SID wrong or something. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

so i followed everyones instructions but i put alittle twist in it i had to use cdma workshop 3.8 free trial and qpst. in cdma workshop alot of stuff didnt write to the phone because you have to buy the version of it so i wrote what i could to the phone and opened up qpst and did the rest with it. my only problem now is i use my wifi in the house and the 3g and 1x indicator is on only on wifi. when i turn wifi off then 3g and 1x goes off also. is it because i have an verizon 4g sim in the phone or is it something with the data?
anyone had any luck getting all this on ics???

some info for op
if you flash one of these without the original sim card you might have issues using the ##program# menu.
if you do then here is a tip
get "anycut" from market or search anycut .apk on google
add activity shortcuts one by one to your desktop of the razr
lte test settings
programming (the 2nd one)
testing
field menu settings.
those will give you shortcuts on desktop to enable the setting for 3g.
just had to flash two razrs like this.
hit thanks if it helps

another question of mine
has anyone got mms to work without that ugly ass vzw messages app?
ok so i stayed up waaayyy too late last night trying to get my razr on ics with page plus.
i installed the .79 leak and then installed cm9.
it kept all my settings in there that i could see through anycut looking at programming fields.
all i have is talk and text. no mobile data.
i was not able to connect through cdws on cm9 tho. if i reboot with bp tools then it goes to safestrap and after that it shows no diag port in device manager.
just trying to write down everything i did.
about to go back to 181 and maybe start over not sure yet.
deleted
try this for 181

I previously mentioned in the Bionic [Request] thread that the steps for making a RAZR work on PagePlus were the same as a Bionic, however, that statement is not entirely accurate. There is no *#*#4636#*#* on a RAZR, and as such, there seems to be no way at the moment to get 3G data. Picture messaging works if you install VZW messages from the market.
Here is what I did:
First and foremost, use the IMEI but drop the last digit. This is your MEID. Call Pageplus, or find a pageplus dealer who is nice enough to activate it for you, and give them this MEID. You will have to call pageplus cs after you are finished with the following programming to get the MEID put back on the phone. I don't know why this is, and I am not going to give you any kind of technical BS to make it look like I do.
1. Put phone into BP Tools mode by powering off, then pressing both up and down volume and power. Volume down to BP Tools and Volume up to choose it.
2. Install the latest Motorola Driver for your phone from: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
3. Connect the phone to the PC, and let the driver install complete.
4. Run HW Virtual Serial Port, and login with the password "admin" (it is already there by default, so just hit enter).< no longer necessary
5. Set the IP as 192.168.16.2, with the port as 11008.
6. Choose com port 100.
7. Open CDMA-Workshop 3.7 or higher (There is no known copy floating around for free. Either find someone who has it installed already, or pay the $108 like I did... if you're like me, you'll find ways to recoup your money. I have made it back a few times over already.) Choose COM port and click CONNECT.
8. Click on Security, SPC and send 000000. Do this EVERYTIME you reconnect the phone. Everytime. Don't forget this.
9. Click on Main and go down to where it says CDMA and change it to CDMA-2.
10. Under R-UIM change config to NV Only.
11. Click on the "Other" tab. At PRL, choose write and write the pageplus prl (51720 only) to it. Google for this, it's out there. Write to phone.
12. REBOOT the phone.
13. Reconnect and resend SPC.
14. On the MAIN tab, switch CDMA-2 back to CDMA.
15. Write 310 to MCC, 00 to MNC, and your MIN. Leave True IMSI alone.
16. Write 283, 384 to P CH; and 691 and 777 S CH.
17. Write your mobile number to the DIR_Number and DIR_PCS fields. Write to phone.
18. Change CDMA to EDVO.
19. under PPP User and HDR User write your phone number [email protected], with vzw for the password.
20. under Teth. NAI write your number [email protected].
21. Click on m.ip profiles
22. NAI is the same as 19. T NAI is the same as 20. The shared Secret fields are both VZW.
23. If necessary, change the P. HA address to 255.255.255.255.
24. Click X, then write to phone.
25. Disconnect the phone and reboot it. You are done with CDMA workshop.
26. On your phone, under Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > network mode change to CDMA only.
27. Connect to wi-fi and download phone in Play Store (Android Market)
28. Open phone info and go to phone information. Scroll down to set preferred network type and change it to CDMA auto (prl) and toggle DNS Check to allowed.
29. ##Program on your dialer, use "000000" for SPC code, and go to 3> Extended NAM and change the SID to whatever your SID is.
30. Back once to 06 Test Mode, next twice, then make sure network mode is CDMA and EVDO
31. Back once and go to 14 LTE Test Settings. Change SIM Type to 3g, LTE bppanic to disable. Back twice to reboot. Remove SIM Card while rebooting.
32. Back to ##Program 14, disable class1 and class2 APNs and back out. Phone will reboot.
That's it. I have 3g working on 173. Haven't gotten it on 181 or on the ICS leak, though, but, I have a droid razr on my prepaid 29.99/month plan, and couldn't be happier.
Any questions? Please message me. I will respond ASAP.
Please remember to hit the Thanks button if this helps you!!

##7764726 lte(14) apn restore using apnpageplus.xml seems to get 1x for a minute...then
sim out--> then disable class 1 apn disable class 2 apn
reboot with sim back in and keep it in
toggle dns check= not allowed
query cfu on powerOn=enabled
instant 3g everytime
Thanks for this pltctytc, but here's a question. I found out that I needed the SIM card kept in to get MMS via VZW Messages. Are you able to get MMS on 3G with the SIM out? The only difference is that my gf's phone is a Bionic on PPC.
had to put sim in to get internet... can't say about mms w/o sim since i didn't try it. i am not using a 4g verizon sim and never had one its a generic h20 one
but everything works as designed sms mms internet email blah blah blah
don't really know if there is a difference but knowing verizon i would assume they have something embedded in their cards
i am really surprised there is so little info about there about the razr or lte phones on pageplus. i guess most using ppc don't want newer phones or their capabilities
nevilles video is good on using cdmaws on the razr but i lost 3g following it but managed getting it back with a couple settings mentioned previously through trial and error

Why is my spc not all zeros when I dial ##PROGRAM? The previous sole user would not be capable of changing it and besides CDMA WS sends 000000 just fine.
Alright boys and girls I've been working on this for a week now and I think I've finally got the fix for this...
UPDATE: WORKING 3G DATA AND MMS WITH ICS!
So for you GB lovers here's the way you get solid 3G Data and MMS with GB .905
You will need:
1.) Motorola Droid Bionic phone
2.) Your MDN/MIN information from Page Plus, use this link to have this information sent to your email:
2.) The required software support package:
Mirror1 or Mirror2
3.) 1 Blank 4G LTE Verizon Sim Card (Amazon, Ebay, or just go to a couple Verizon stores, eventually an employee will sell you one without to many questions...)
4.) 1 3G TMobile or ATT Sim Card, doesn't have to be activated just something you have laying around will work. As of the time of this write up I haven't tested with 4G cards but I imagine this method wouldn't work.
5.) Time, Patience, and a few prayers to the Wireless Gods might be a good idea...
PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE PHONE IS 100% CHARGE AND DATA IS BACKED UP BEFORE PROCEEDING
ALL DATA ON PHONE WILL BE ERASED, SD SHOULD NOT BE ERASED BUT BACK IT UP JUST IN CASE.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!
STEP 1: Software Provision your Phone
Start by uninstalling any older Motorola drivers you have installed, then download the newest driver package from Motorola -
Install RSD Lite
Now turn phone off, and insert 4G LTE Verizon Sim
Start up phone in "AP FastBoot Flash Mode"
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Start RSD Lite and select .905 Firmware and Restore
After flash is complete, start phone in Recovery Mode
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Once you see the Android Icon with the Exclamation mark, press both volume keys at the same time. That will bring you to a menu, from there select "Wipe Cache", after that is finished, select "Format/Wipe Factory Defaults" as soon as that finishes select "Reboot Phone"
Power off phone, and boot into "BP Tools"
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Once phone is completely booted you should be presented with a activation screen, ignore that for now, and run the "DFS CDMA Tool" program.
Once your in DFS make sure you phone is plugged in, and in "BP Tools" mode otherwise you won't see any ports.
Now select the phone port from the list, should look like the one in the image below...
Click the SPC Button, Log Window should have result like image below
Now click the "Programming" tab and then the "General" tab. Change the "Ruim Config" to NV_ONLY and click "Write"
After that, click the "Data" tab, and enter your 10 digit phone number in place of the 5551234 numbers
Under the "Mode:" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config:" option to "RevA_MFPA", click "Write"
Your end results should look EXACTLY as mine do in the image below...
Close DFS after your sure you have written all the settings above to your phone.
Now open CDMA Workshop and connect to your phone, click the "Nam" tab, click on the "Load" button on the bottom of the page, browse to the file provided in the software package, "Bionic_PagePlus_NAM1.txt" and click "Write"
Click on the "Other" tab, under the "PRL" section click the "Write" button, browse to the "PagePlus_51720.prl" and click "OK"
If CDMA Workshop responds with Success then your done with the initial programming of your phone...
STEP 2: PHONE PROGRAMMING
Now Power Off your phone and then power back on normally, at this point you should have completed the steps above and have the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Sim Card in the phone
Click the Next button to setup your phone, you should get a screen similar to the one below..
Touch the "Emergency Call" button and enter *228 and press Send, you will probably get a error screen regarding your sim card, IGNORE this message, and continue to click "Emergency Call" and then entering *228 and pressing Send
You may have to dial the *228 multiple times in order for it to start activation, eventually it will call out and you will get a screen like this one:
*If you cannot get your phone to program after multiple attempts then try this:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down to "Set preferred network type:" select "CDMA Only"
Touch "Turn off radio" wait until you have to wireless connection and then touch "Turn on radio"
Now try programming again with *228
Touch "Speaker" or wait until the automated system answers and when prompted press "1" and wait, be patient this may take a minute.
Your phone is now receiving your programming information from Page Plus...
Once this process is complete and your phone is now activated, Dial ##PROGRAM and touch Send
When prompted enter "000000" for your SPC Password
Now scroll the the bottom of the page, touch "14 LTE test settings"
Touch "SIM type", select "3G test UICC"
Touch "LTE bppanic", select "Disable"
Touch "Disable Class1 APN"
Touch "Disable Class2 APN"
Touch "Enable Class3 APN"
Touch "LTE Movement Detection" select "Disabled"
Now go back one screen and touch "06 Test Mode"
Touch "Next", "Next", Touch "Network mode", select "CDMA Auto PRL", back out of programming menu to home screen.
So far so good, were almost there... Now power off your phone
Insert ATT or TMobile 3G Sim Card, and power on phone
If you have followed all the steps exactly you should now have working 3G Data and MMS on Page Plus with your Bionic. It should remain stable through reboots without any issues, I used mine like this for over a month.
Below are the steps for working 3G Data and MMS using ICS .247
!WARNING - IF YOU UPDATE TO ICS LEAK .247 YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO .905 OR GINGERBREAD! YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU TRY!
!WARNING! - IF YOU UPDATE TO ICS LEAK .232 AT THIS POINT YOUR MMS WILL NO LONGER WORK, YOU WILL HAVE DATA BUT NO MMS
I will update this post with more instructions and pictures in 24-48 hours for ICS .247 with working 3G Data and MMS...
For ICS .247 visit the "House of Bionic" website and download the leaked ICS .247, follow their instructions exactly and read ALL warnings
Once you have flashed to the latest leak, follow the DFS steps above, and flash the "57120" Page Plus PRL using CDMA Workshop
Reboot Phone and touch the "Emergency Dialer" button, Dial *228 until you get to the activation screen, wait until prompted and press "1", wait for you phone to be programmed.
That's it, your done, no other steps should be needed to have working 3G Data and MMS with the ICS leak .247
!WARNING! - THIS DOES NOT AND WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY ICS LEAK PRIOR TO .247!
Alright hopefully you now have your Bionic working on Page Plus with full data and mms.. Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Apparently XDA requires me to have a minimum of 10 posts before I can add outside links to my post, I have a version completed with external links so maybe a moderator can waive this or if someone else wan'ts to post it just PM me and you can post it...
.905 Gingerbread
3G Data and MMS holding steady through multiple restarts, no extra steps have been required..
.232 ICS
3G Data works but no MMS, I do not think you can have working MMS with .232 I believe it is just a bug...
.247 ICS
3G Data and MMS working perfectly, if you follow steps above don't change anything under the ##PROGRAM menu, leave everything on 4G settings just like default.
Only thing you have to do is flash a Page Plus prl and *228 for initial programming and everything works great!
Will be glad to see this updated with more details.
I updated my phone to .905, redid everything, had PP reactivate it, but cannot get it activated OTA.
EDIT - I factory reset the phone, the activation screen came up, and it seems to be working! only have 1x at the moment, but hey, I'm happy.
will be glad to see your steps for 3G and ICS
Anyone know where I can get a 3g sim card locally? I see some on ebay but if possible I would like to get this working today. Also, do I need the 3g sim card if I'm on ICS .247?

basically what i mean is that im going to update the Bionic to ICS...
and im using the phone for business w/ page pluss... so i wont even have data on the phone... so im wondering what i an do with Stock ICS....
After that, click the "Data" tab, and enter your 10 digit phone number in place of the 5551234 numbers
Under the "Mode:" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config:" option to "RevA_MFPA", click "Write"
can someone tell me what box the 5551234 numbers are in? They are all blank for me.
question on activation
thanx a lot appreciate the post
Those are your MDN/MIN numbers, ... one of them is your actual phone number, the other is a phone number that your service provider uses on their switch to identify you with...
To get your MDN/MIN numbers for page plus, google:
"Page Plus Phone Status Report Form - Kitty Wireless"
Enter your email and phone number and they will email you a report that will show both your MDN and MIN numbers....
ref: 3G data
ok, i'm on eclipse 2.2 .902 build
i've gotten everything else to work except data
from what i've read my mdn number is my phone number
also, and the phone activates over the air using the 14 digit
instead of 15 my imei is 15 digit but my meid is 14 digit
got 3g and 4g sim cards both from verizon
only time i've been able to see any data at all was when i had
the 4g sim in the phone and get this: went to disable radio
that's when the phone would sorta "hang" and 3g would show up
then go away, and this happens only once in a while
i've done about every tutorial i can find, only thing is i don't want to
go to a stock rom really love eclipse 2.2 and others have data going on
that rom also, so it's something i'm doing wrong
i also get the same results when i'm on eclipse 3.0 so again, it's not the rom
it's me, goofen something up
even when i went in to the verizon store, they were cool and told me themselves
this phone has been problematic for them on full contracts getting data to run
at least that's what the rep said about our area
i have my sid set to 32, i've tried with and without sim in the phone
i love this phone, i'll get the data worken on it one way or another
if ya can lend a hand for few minutes skype allen-sec
or yahoo allensecz
to all those who have spoon fed me with yer replies and posts,
thank you very much, i've learned a lot here on xda, do my best
to pay it forward

Has anyone updated this phone to PagePlus with a Bionic with the ICS OTA update?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I have. This is what I did:
Re-activating phone on Page Plus after OTA update
1. Remove any old Motorola Droid Bionic drivers you may have on your computer and install the newest ones.
2. Turn phone off and turn back on in BPTools mode. Then plug the phone into your computer via USB.
3. Open DFS. Click "Ports" and select the COM port for your phone. Next, click the "SPC" button.
4. Click the "Programming" tab and then the "General" tab. Change the "Ruim Config" to NV_ONLY and click "Write".
5. Click the "Data" tab. Under the "Mode" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config" option to "RevA_MFPA" and click "Write".
6. Close DFS and unplug phone from USB port.
7. Go to the dialer and dial ##7764726 (##PROGRAM). When prompted for an SPC password, enter "000000" and hit verify.
8. Go to "06 Test Mode". Hit "Next" twice. Then, change the Network mode to "CDMA Only".
9. Back out to the home screen; the phone will automatically restart.
10. After the phone has restarted, go to the dialer and dial *22800. Ignore any SIM card error messages you may see; just keep trying *22800 until you reach the activation screen.
11. Follow the instructions to activate the phone.
To get 3G working on your activated phone
1. Go to the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* (*#*#info#*#*).
2. Open "Phone information" and scroll down; click the button that reads "Turn off radio".
3. From the same screen, set the preferred network type to "CDMA auto (PRL)". Then turn the radio back on. The 3G notification should appear shortly.
I hope this helps someone!

After that, click the "Data" tab, and enter your 10 digit phone number in place of the 5551234 numbers
Under the "Mode:" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config:" option to "RevA_MFPA", click "Write"
can someone tell me what box the 5551234 numbers are in? They are all blank for me.

I'm wondering the same thing. The question isn't what the 10 digit numbers are, but where are you supposed to enter them? The picture would be helpful here. Is anyone willing to upload those pictures for the OP or can the OP share the pictures some other way until you can post them?
Which field specifically are you supposed to enter the 10 digit phone number into on the "Data" tab?
In other guides they suggest rebooting the phone and editing the min/mdn by dialing ##program and choosing option 1. I tried that but I wasn't able to write those values. Anyone had luck doing it that way?

I messaged the OP weeks ago to take him/her up on posting the pics and links, I received no response.
I had all the same problems as you so I just skipped those steps. worked fine for me, my phone is working perfectly. my phone was previously activated but I did two full resets after the update so I don't think any PP programming was 'left over', but who knows.
to be honest I think the howardforums ics/bionic thread is more helpful than this one (pics, links, etc) here's a direct link:
