I have a droid 4. I want to put it on a prepaid plan.. with unlimited everything. Since the GSM issue still hasn't been worked around, Straight Talk is out of the question. So I have been looking into ntelos/frawg. Has anyone done this? I have found a writeup on how to switch it to intelos.. But I can't find the prl I need. Does anyone have that?

Was wondering if anyone knew someone that can add my Bionics ESN to Metro. Ive been over to howard forums but noone responds. If so PM me
The Bionic and other LTE phones don't use ESNs for network registration- it's all SIM based. Combine that with the unique frequencies used by Verizon LTE and you have a phone that won't work on any other network. Sorry. :/
Weird, I can access the CDMA part just fine, ##program send. And there's a guy on another forum that has it on cricket? I'm not trying to get it all working just talk and text.

are there a way to get a bad esn bionic phone to be able to activate on a verizon network?
of course besides from going to verizon store and find out what is wrong with it then resolve the issues either by paying the amount that is due on the phone or if its a stolen product
thanx in advance for your help
I am looking to try to dring my droid 4 to straight talk. A lot of places have said plenty of different things. But can anyone tell me how I can do this for the droid 4. I can find barely anything for the droid 4 itself. Most of the stuff I find is for other droid models and none of them are clear for the process.

It looks like you can unlock the phone for GSM -- I'd follow the guides relevant to that. Next, you'll need an unlocked GSM StraightTalk MicroSIM card.
I'm going to take a gamble and try this myself and see what happens and if I can pull it off. Are you intending to run this as a GSM phone or a CDMA phone?
As I recall only 2G works with AT&T/GSM, but potentially some other people have unlocked it for 3G... I'll be testing and let you know!
I too am curious about using this with straight talk. I had heard about 50/50 with people getting 3g to work with GSM. There was another post in this forum about unlocking the bands, so I might have to give that a try..
Just FYI -- in case anyone comes across this post at a future date:
At present (October 1st, 2012), the GSM bands in America remain locked (despite what some websites have claimed) and no workaround has been discovered as of yet.
I tried placing my MicroSIM for StraightTalk in the D4 and had no luck, unfortunately! :-/

i would like to go to straight talk using cdma if possible.. anyone know how to program the droid 4 on the straight talk network.??
Hey, I've looked around and I see some members that have their Droid Bionic on T-mobile and some are trying to get theirs on Straight Talk. I have a Droid Bionic that I want to use on Straight Talk. I've seen the YouTube video with one unlocked and operating on T-Mobile. Can someone break down the instructions for allowing my new phone to be able to be used on Straight Talk. I have some sense but I don't have the software to use. If you could point me in the correct direction I would gladly start the process. But I don't want to listen to five different people telling me five different stories. Can you help me? Thanks in advance.
I think ST have to be GSM androids. My wife has been through a few ST androids and they were all GSM.

Hey guys,
I know this may be just another in a long line of tethering threads so sorry in advance.
I'm moving from T-Mobile to AIO and I'm curious about tethering. I've heard the Nexus 5 now forwards you through seperate APNs for AT&T and T-Mobile. I'm guessing the Moto X does this too. I've been using T-Mobile and I my rare tethering doesn't go over their allotment, but I want it to be available when I need it on AIO.
Can anyone tell me if the Moto X will report when I try to tether. If so, what is the solution? I'd prefer to stick with stock if possible.
I use the XT1053 to tether on AT&T with no issues at all. And I've been through several billing cycles.

I've been (Bluetooth) tethering using GoPhone for the past 5 months (3 on the Moto X) without issue. I couldn't find anything on the AIO website indicating what their recommended APN settings are, but you'll most likely need to add 'dun' to the APN Type for tethering to work.

I don't know if it reports but I tethered via WiFi and USB both on H2O and AT&T GoPhone. Just checked the setting in UI. I have not done a lot of it, just to see that it works.
OK, I've really started diving into this and I'm learning a good bit. However, I still have more I've got to learn. I'm probably going to be downloading the AOSP later this week and working through some of the items in it.
So far, I can tell that some carriers actually have APNs written into Android AOSP for routing their tethering traffic through. From what I could tell, T-Mobile is the only US one. I saw others I recognized like Rodgers and Orange.
However, there is also the element of "APN Type" of DUN. I've read some say that this causes a flag to be set that carriers "COULD" use to tell if you are tethering. This would make sense considering I'm seeing some talk of a database value called "tethering_dun_required".
Once I get this all worked out, I might just write up a full up post for all of XDA on Android and Tethering. Plus, then it could get fact checked by the peer here.
Quick summary on the what this means for the question I asked, I don't think AT&T can tell right now. However, Android Kit Kat and above may be forcing DUN on my APN when I'm tething which they could in theory use. However, I'm not sure on that fact.
I have a Motorola droid 4 & I'm switching over to Verizon on Monday. (I currently have a Samsung Galaxy note 4 with at&t). I rooted my Motorola & put cm12 on it, but idk if it'll still work with Verizon service then. I couldn't find any answers on here or the Verizon website. Basically, can I keep my phone on cm12 or would I have to switch it back to the stock ROM to use it on Verizon's network? This is the first phone I've ever rooted that I actually plan on using as a phone. Thanks for any help anyone can give me
If you plan on using it as a 4G/LTE device, then yes, it should be fine. Your customer information is stored on the SIM card, at the worst you'll have to go into Mobile Network Settings and change them to appropriate values (CDMA+LTE/EVDO and RUIM/SIM subscription type, I think, someone else will have to confirm).
If you wanted to use it as a 3G device...I'm not even sure Verizon themselves used to allow that (MVNOs did, but Verizon put a stop to that at the beginning of the year), and they certainly won't these days.
There're lots of people around using their phones on Verizon "as intended", and it seems that after the APN problems were ironed out, there've been very few complaints.
TL;DR: yes, should be plug&play, you may have to change some easily-changed settings.
