[Q] droid3 global unlocked - where to buy and have shipped to Europe?

after couple of unsuccessful attempts on eBay and elsewhere I am asking here - I do not know where to buy it and have shipped to Czech Republic - any suggestions, please?

Hey, I shipped it to Holland had it in a week with this site.

on the other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172981 it is discussed what works in Europe - I am in Czech republic where we have 900/1800, which is different from negri specs, where they say 850/1900 - is it going to work?

I am not an expert on this. I have the XT860 Bell version

why did you go for 862 instead of 860? Supposedly 860 should be better...

1) XT862 is cheaper and has better 'support'
2) XT860 bell has only recently been available at negrielectronics, the OEM version is still not available.

what exactly do you mean by "better support"? rooting etc. should work on all of them, as discussed elsewhere...or is it not so?

Well... ROMs? I don't know whether droid 3 ROMs will work on the XT860. (Does steeldroid work on XT860?)
Yes Bell's version is close to OEM, however it's more expensive. Also, you will probably receive motorola updates faster on the OEM version.

yeap, the reasons are the ones mentioned by DoubleYouPee.
but until a CUSTOM ROM appears, the Verizon programs are there to annoy me ))
and some minor advertising appears when opening email for the first time...nothing very disturbing.
well...strange is that if you select GLOBAL mode in the phone, the phone does not find network (or mine did not find, for the first couple of minutes), but if you select GSM/UMTS, the phones works perfect.

Hello
Im from Poland so we are practically neighbors ;D
I bought my D3 from this seller
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130563324545?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
nick - inroy2000
Good contact, fast delivery, Droid3 i got unlocked, in box with phone i found
notice with unlocking codes aslo.
So I did not have to spend extra money on phone unlocking codes or purchase
To phone price you must add ~48usd for delivery and ~tax (here in Poland tax was 75 eur)
best regards

Thanks guys for all the info.
Please, correctme, if I am wrong with this:
XT860 could be rooted via psouza tools
then I can freeze motoblur apps (unless somebody changs the script to work for bell I will have to do it one by one manually)
then I am fine

That is correct if you mean Bell apps. I have not done extensive freezing so far, so I am not sure yet what exactly you can freeze and what not.
We are stuck with Motoblur unless the bootloader gets unlocked one way or another.
EDIT:
Sorry, I misunderstood that.
Yes you are probably right

Do you have the Camera blue-tint bug? On my Droid 3 this bug was fixed, but on the XT860?
Thanks for a quick reply.

from other posts I understood that fixing this is just a matter of some settings in text configuration files, so this should be possible to fix on XT860 as well - or am I wrong?

I don't know, maybe someone can answer this.
Ok, I am not sure but I own a Droid 3 and use it in Germany. The signal quality is definitely not as good as it has been on my Milestone 2.
Do both XT860 and Droid 3 use exactly the same Hardware GSM Module? I believe I saw somewhere that the XT860 has 14.4 mbits and Droid 3 "only" 10.2 mbits.
What do you think?

Does there have any methods to let my c6603 can use aws?

QAQ I am a really idiot,:crying: I bought a c6603 from hk and I thought it is supporting aws, because my last phone is xperia tx and it's supporting aws. So I thought how can the older one support something but newer one doesnt compatible. But the truth is I am so wrong, my c6603 doesn't compatible my ISP's networks at all (Wind). So, plz someone come to tell me there are some ways I can make my phone compatible with aws, such as flash the rom or something else. Plz help me and I will really appreciate of your helps, I don't really want to buy a new phone and cannot use it.

I dont think so...its a hardware issue not a software...but if you ccan it would be flashing radio.

C6603 doesn't support winds bands.
I "think" c6602 does.
Two options for you.
Change carriers.
Or
Buy a new phone that supports winds frequencies.

the radio contains all the file of your "band" but this is an issue of hardware not software so best bet is just return and get 6602...

[Q] Experia Z1 L29h into International?

Greetings everyone!
I need some help. I purchased Sony Xperia Z1 while traveling in China. The model number is L39h, which I believe to be exactly the same as C6902. Is there a way to 'turn' it into the international version? Just changing the language doesn't remove all the Chinese bloatware apps and such. Will changing my firmware work?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards!

Hmm... You should be able to flash it without any problems... They're technically the same from what wikipedia also says... Its just one has chinese specific bloat... Don't take my word for it though..Do a bit more research but I think you should have no issues flashing this...

Xperia Z4/Z3+ CM13 Port - surveillance about demand

Hi guys,
I'm testing the waters and want to see how much have the Z4/Z3+,
and how much of you have a rooted device and want CM13/AOSP
Thanks

Well, I'll be working on it (and own the device too).

Then quit your whining and get to work.
The sources are posted in numerous places.
There are at least three teams i counted, at work across the platform, AOSP/CM/REMIX etc..
XDA is a do it yourself Development site and not a shopping mall.

Well, devs need users and testers for feedback, testing, development, ideas and more
You (talking generally here) want something - you need to get off your high chair and either show some initiative and work toward a common goal
or keep whining and pretend to be entitled to judge and have an opinion of others that you virtually know nothing about - well great, but that does change exactly nothing (and causes abound frustration to become even more)
Or do you expect that miraculously out of nowhere without any work of preparation, thought and development - there pops out a ROM and is immediately 100% fully usable
Thanks to @moonbutt74 and his tester(s) for getting this in a close to daily driver material state,
There appears to be issues with microSD (external storage) detection on Ivy (Z4/Z3+) SINGLE Sim compared to Sumire (Z5) SINGLE Sim,
so that currently doesn't work

I don´t think the Z3+ is a bad phone in any way. I think Sony screwed up the release and promotion of it alot when they named it Z3+ instead of Z4 (like in Japan). They also very quickly released the Z5 which didn´t have the heat issue.
I come from a long line of phones with great community developed ROMS (HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, Samsung S4, Moto X) and I have every confidence that this phone could be great too if the devs got all the files and info they needed.

I'm not a traitor

As the title says I have gone into the Chinese forums to look for ROMs. Since Dr. Ketan, The galaxy project, ambasadii left the development of their rom I had no choice but to look into a different forum to get my flashy needs for my note 9. So I currently have to ROMs which I already have in my mega cloud, the one that I am currently using is called Norma rom which I found on a Chinese site! Here's the site https://normaq.github.io/2019/03/29/ROM-9-0-SM-N960F-DS-SM-N960N国行特性官方SC1增强设置三卡支持V1/
It has all the note 10 apps, smooth ui, great battery life and I'm satisfied with it even though I've been using it for the past 2 days only.
There's another rom from this site which I haven't tried yet but will get to it eventually, you can download it from here http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9613602 and there is another really popular rom on this site too but I cannot make a username for it because it needs a Chinese phone number but if anyone can get one please update me!
Use Google translate for these sites, it works for me and I hope you guys can find something useful out of this.

you are right. development of note 9 is practically non existent. i will try these Chinese roms.

I cant download it from baidu. can you please upload it to an english based file sharing site?

Wait really, there's no more development for Note9 roms? Darn I just bought mine a month ago.

well its slow. ...to be thruthfull it never really took off. at no point were there more than 4 actively maintained roms.

And that's why I'm going to be opting to a device that runs stock android. Sammy is basically dead (at least to me).

Nope but they did strip Google apps and services, added a lot of chinese bloatware and the rom doesn't feel any snappier compared to stock. To much hassle to get it cleaned and running according to my needs so a big no go
