I bought this phone used in the US and it's working fine in Argentina. Movistar and Personal use 850/1900 for 3G. Dual core phones cost an arm and a leg thanks to our wonderful customs rules, so getting a VZW XT862 is a great alternative.
The stock ROM was laggy and full of Verizon bloatware so I rooted, added Safestrap 1.06, CM7 with GSM patch. Works great. I really miss the camera though. Hope it gets supported by Hashcode soon.

Upgraded to CM9 ICS preview 5.
3G GSM working. Everything working except known issues with DNS, slider keyboard and camera.
DNS Changer apk solved the DNS issue easily.
Too bad I don't have permission to post on the dev subforum.

I guess I spoke too early. GSM is not stable at all.
If I do *#*#4636#*#* (hidden menu), the 3g radio seems to be working, but if I try to make a call the phone app dies. When I go back to the 4636 menu, the status is all weird. If I disable and reenable the radio, the phone registers with the 3g network correctly. Ping test passes.
I do notice that the 4636 is showing 0db signal.
WTF?
Hashcode has said that his build doesn't work well with umts yet. Fine for cdma 3g, but is more focused on building a stable ics before looking into umts issues.

I started over and it has been working for the last two hours.
Factory reset, format /system. install cm7 11-16. install gsm patch with data. Boot to cm7. install DNSChanger. Reboot to Safestrap. Apply CM9 ICS preview 5. Apply ICS gapps. Reboot. Android will be upgraded from GB to ICS. Activate automatic DNSChanger.
Will post a 4636 screenshot when it starts failing again.

I installed Preview 6 last night, but unfortunately I lost several incoming calls today.
After realizing that I was losing calls, I went to the 4636 menu, and called myself from a landline. On 4636 there is a line that says: Call Status and it said IDLE while I was calling myself.
So I turned off the radio, waited for 5 seconds and turned the radio back on.
Then I tried calling myself again and the call came through.
My previous Android phone was a Samsung Spica and I used the samdroid.net forum so my post count is really low here. I would really like to be able to post on the CM9 Preview thread instead of here.
@Hascode, is there a log I can send you to troubleshoot this?
One thing I did notice is that the 4636 menu doesn' t show crazy values any more like it did in preview 5. So some of Hashcode's fixes are working but there is still something missing.

¡Buenísimo ver otro argentino con Droid 3 en el foro!
*Switching to English*
My girlfriend got me a D3 a couple of days ago from the US and it was carrier locked to Verizon. I wonder how you got yours unlocked. Did you buy it already unlocked or did you have to go through activation code / Turbo Sim?
I personally tried both options and the 2 activation codes I got (bough them from 2 different sellers and got one repeated and a second different one) didn't work at all. I am unsure whether this is due to the codes being wrong or the phone not being in Verizon's network and therefore not unlocking due to lack of carrier authorization.
The Turbo SIM worked just fine, but I get an annoying "R" symbol (roaming) on top of my signal bars and am apparently only able to connect to 2G (though I haven't tried data yet since I don't have data on my plan).
I'm also amazed that ICS is working for you, I haven't dared to try it yet since Hash stated support for GSM wasn't ready yet.
Saludos y espero a tu respuesta / Cheers and I eagerly expect your response.

Hi firtermish,
I bought mine on eBay USA. When it arrived I just inserted my Movistar SIM, selected GSM/UMTS and it worked, with any need to unlock.
AFAIK, a connection to the carrier is not necessary to perform a SIM unlock.
I have returned to stock VZW firmware because neither CM7 nor CM9 have camera support. I like to take pictures and videos of my family so the camera is a must. I still dual boot to ICS using safestrap sometimes when I am at the office just to play with it.
If you need help send me a PM and we can talk over the phone.

Lucky you! I was cheap and was tempted to buy a locked one since it was dirty cheap and thought I wouldn't have any troubles unlocking it. Maybe one day it will be software unlockable like the G2 but for now I'll have to keep using Turbo Sim.
Thanks for offering me to call you, I appreciate it
Another one with the same problem.
Verizon didnt want to unlock it.
And ebay codes doesnt work. Anyone could name what ebay sellers tested so we dont have to go through the same sellers?

these were tried. the OP should put the list their so everyone can see it. This can be come more of an official unlock thread to stop it from being asked alot. Help to clean up the forum some
Hey all,
I'm using a Straight Talk sim with my N7000 and have noticed since starting to use JB roms that after a while, my cell signal will turn white and I won't be able to use data again until I reboot. Currently running jellycore, but the same thing happens with liquidsmooth.
What's strange as well is that my girlfriend's Hercules gs2 (unlocked with a ST att sim) does the same thing on ics, yet it never happened for me on rocket rom (or maybe I just never noticed it since the signal bars don't change colors on touchwiz).
Anyone have any clue what's causing this? Phone is deep sleeping just fine, not sure if that's relevant. I just flashed a gb radio to see if xxlrk was the cause (which, I would think, would also be affecting my gf).
Thoughts? Would love some help!

Yeah, I've read that entire thread, and that seems to be people having trouble getting data/mms working for the first time. I've been using my ST sim for 6 months now with 4 different phones and this is the first time I'm having any issues staying connected. I use one APN (not 2 like suggested in the thread), no proxy, and only have a ST apn (no ATT pta apn's or lte apn's not being used, ST is the only one listed).
Hope this makes sense, any and all help is appreciated!
I am using a factory-unlocked Galaxy Note GT-N7000 that I bought in Lebanon (Middle East). All stock, upgraded to latest ICS from official release.
I was using an old SIM card until a month ago, when the company upgraded their SIM cards and asked me to change mine. Since then, sometimes I lose mobile data connection (like in an elevator, or sometimes randomly) and it just won't get back on until I reboot the phone. Turning mobile data or wifi or airplane mode on/off does nothing. All through, wifi works just fine. I called the company and they said they couldn't find anything wrong, and they suggested I try a different phone, but I've had this phone for a year with no similar issues. It seems to me a SIM problem but thought I'd ask here if anyone has had a similar issue.
Here are phone details:
GT-N7000
Android 4.0.3
bb N7000XXLPT
Kernel 3.0.15-N7000JPLPD-CL643396
build IML74K.JPLPD
Phone was never rooted, otherwise working fine. Do you think the new SIM is somehow clashing with the software?
Thank you in advance.
Hello, everyone! :laugh:
I'm new on this forums but I want to contribute as much as posible. In this moment I have a question, though; my RAZRi was filled with bloatware from Telcel (my operator in Mexico), so I decided to install a retail stock ROM, specificaly that labeled EU (I also tried with the GB one).
Apparently everything was fine, I even installed the CWM and rooted my phone, but I started to notice that my 3G and HSPA data weren't working. The phone showed the 3G and H+ letters in blue and apparently I had internet, but data is not received at all; the up arrow blinked from time to time but that's it. My WiFi and GPS work as charm.
I'm trying to figure this out because my girlfriend lives in another state and whatsapp is our only link while we're on the street.
Has anyone have the same problem using a stock room from a different country than yours? I'm thinking that it might be a problem with my operator's network because my internet comes back from time to time, but believe me, it's more the time that I don't have internet than the time I do have it, call it a 95 off - 5 on. It's been two days like this and I can't find a solution.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hey Richie,
do you checked the APN ?

I have checked them, I even set the APN settings manually but it gave me the same result. What part of Mexico are you in, Marco? Do you know if there's any problem with Telcel network in Mexico City?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Sure. Well, I have two options under 'Select Network': Automatic and 2G only, Automatic is selected by default. Should I choose 2G?
Yes

It works! And actually I went back to my original stock ROM, just to make sure, and the same thing happens when on 3G/HSPA, no data, but on GSM everything works fine.
I guess that means it's my operator's network, isn't it? I'll have to call and ask them if there's a problem in my area; it's a shame because, in the meantime, I'll have to stay on 2G just to keep my internet working ):
I hope Telcel fix it soon. Thank you very much! :victory:

Hello All,
Something changed in my phone and not really sure as to what has happened. All of a sudden my phone loses data connectivity and thinks that it is roaming. If I enable airplane mode and disable it, then the phone works for about 10-15 minutes and then loses connectivity again. Running the 12B baseband (been using it for months with no issue) and haven't changed the ROM in quite some time. This started happening on yesterday.
Any suggestions?

Damnit. I am having the EXACT same problem, running CM11.
How did you come to that conclusion? I am thinking I'm going to have to restore to stock if I'm going to get Verizon to do anything about it.

I reverted all the way back to 11A stock unrooted. The phone was in 4G for about 5 minutes (if that) and then remained in 3G mode.

I'm at the same point. Going to do an Asurion claim since I didn't buy my phone from VZW (Swappa).
I had this problem before when I tried other roms like cm rom and omni rom. I tried to do *228 to fix problem, but made it made it worse. I restored it back to stock and took it to the Verizon store. They put a new sim card in it for free and it fixed the problem. Now i am running stock with simple kernel.
Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great.
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.
Alright, I'd be lying if this makes any sense to me, but the issue appears to be related strictly to the SIM card.
I had them swap the SIM, it fixed the issue, then it came back. I'm on a new phone now, and it appears to be working. The old SIM did not work on either phone, but the new one does. What makes no sense is the old SIM would work fine in my Galaxy Nexus, but would not work in the G2. Now the new SIM is working perfectly in the new G2 (haven't tried the old one).
I'm baffled.
I've never seen anything make so little sense. The guy at the store told me I would need to replace the SIM again in a few days. Whatever, if it happens again, I'll do just that.
I did the same with my gs3. What ROM are you running?

The original phone was running CM 11 Nightlies.
I'm currently on stock - not sure if I'm going to stay with CM because the official thread indicates official development is DitW for the G2 .
That's actually strange... I'd expect roaming issues with an Intl ROM but not cm.
