I was thinking of getting the Moto Maxx (xt1225), but I need a phone with 900mhz UMTS/HSPA support for trips to New Zealand. There seems to be conflicting info about this.

Hello,
There is a web site called www.imeidata.net where they provide information about any phone depending on its imei number. When i check my moto maxx's imei number, the website shows you all of the supported bands for your device. Here is the info from my phone according to imeidata.net , i use this website a lot and they offer correct information for free.
Band: GSM 1800, GSM 1900, GSM 900, GSM850 (GSM800), LTE FDD BAND 17, LTE FDD BAND 2, LTE FDD BAND 3, LTE FDD BAND 4, LTE FDD BAND 5, LTE FDD BAND 7, WCDMA FDD Band I, WCDMA FDD Band II, WCDMA FDD Band IV, WCDMA FDD Band V

Semseddin,
Thanks for checking this, I have translated the WCMDA bands to their respective frequencies for easy reading if anyone else is curious.
Code:
Bands
GSM 800, 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS/HSPA(WCDMA) 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
LTE(2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
This would indicate that WCDMA Band VIII (900mhz) is NOT supported. Can anyone else offer any input?
Thanks!
EDIT: Just wanted to add that this corresponds exactly with the specs on Motorola's Brazilian website.
My device is from Puerto Rico. If we had information from usa moto maxx xt1250 and moto maxx xt1225 from india, we could compare the band support for different regions.
Bump.

There is NO difference in bands in the Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225. That's been proven over and over. It is the same model, with the SAME FCC ID. Only a different name because there is a carrier called "Maxx" in India, and Motorola didn't want any confusion this phone is affiliated with them.
Motorola for some strange reason did not list all the bands the XT1225 has enabled, when they released it in Latin America. I found the bands when scanning with modem software, and users in Canada confirmed what I found, actually using HSPA Band 4 and LTE band 5 with carriers in Canada.
When Motorola released the XT1225 in India -- renamed the Moto Turbo -- Motorola finally admitted the truth.
Again, ALL the XT1225 models have the same bands enabled -- a Moto Maxx XT1225 = Moto Turbo XT1225, as they all have the same FCC ID. I own two, I know.
Go by the official Moto Turbo XT1225 specs on the Motorola-India site -- they are complete for the XT1225. The "official" Moto Maxx specs on the various Latin American countries's sites (Mexico, Puerto Rico, Chile, Brazil) are incomplete.

Why did Motorola not list all the bands initially? Take your pick...
1) those bands are not important in Latin America
2) Motorola didn't want people doing what we are doing, importing the phones to other countries -- like the USA -- since AT&T nor T-mobile was selling phone.
I really don't know. But the bands are there in ALL the XT1225 Quarks.
@ChazzMatt
This is most valuable information. I will be looking for a XT1225, this will be my next phone if I can find one for a deal. Thank you so much!

I flashed both my Moto Maxx to Moto Turbo 5.0.2 -- including the radio/modem -- so that when I go to sell them I can point to the India Moto Turbo specs.
I don't want to have to argue with buyers that is does or doesn't have HSPA band 4 (important for T-mobile in USA) or LTE band 5 (important for AT&T in USA).
Since I "converted" them (flashed) to Moto Turbo, I can point to those specs.
But the Moto Maxx XT1225 DOES have those bands.
Your op post shows something interesting.... That Brazil Motorola site has been updated at some point to show LTE band 5. I wonder why? A few months ago, none of the official Motorola websites showing specs for the Moto Maxx (Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Chile) showed LTE band 5. They only showed 2, 3, 4, 7, 17. But the FCC tests showed LTE band 5 enabled, and I also found it in modem scanning, and Canadian owners confirmed they are using LTE band 5 on the Moto Maxx.
Now Brazil Motorola just needs to admit to HSPA band 4.

I know it's been confirmed over and over (initially even by the FCC) that the XT1225 has LTE band 5. Initially Motorola left it out of the official specs for the "international" Moto Maxx XT1225 released in Latin America countries, even though the FCC found it in tests. I think Motorola's original plan was to sell the XT1254 through Verizon and the XT1225 through AT&T, thus it has all the AT&T LTE bands... But then Verizon wanted to claim "exclusive" (which was a LIE) and the plans for AT&T fell apart. Since the Latin America carriers don't use LTE band 5, Motorola didn't bother to list it in the specs when first released (even though it was in the FCC report).
But LTE band 5 was always there and then when Motorola released the XT1225 as the "Moto Turbo" in India, they included all the LTE bands and all the HSPA bands (yes, Motorola left one of those out as well, one used by T-mobile, HSPA band IV).
Before then I found that "missing" LTE band and HSPA band using modem scanning software and users in Canada confirmed LTE band 5 on their carriers.
This last weekend I finally actually saw LTE band 5 being used on AT&T here in Georgia! I was travelling down the interstate between McDonough and Macon and turned on LTE Discovery. I glanced over and saw LTE band 5! For you Pokemon Go players, like finding a very rare specimen! When I looked again, then it said LTE band 2. I thought maybe I had imagined it! But there it is in the logs. ONE instance of LTE band band 5.
Looking at the last screenshot I took back in Februrary, it's not there. Now it is.
By the way, I am using the Puerto Rico radio. That shouldn't make any difference, but to my knowledge Motorola has only admitted LTE band 5 in Brazil and India. But it's there in all the XT1225. Canadian users who confirmed LTE band 5 were using Puerto Rico Moto Maxx. And presumably it was the Puerto Rico Moto Maxx the FCC tested back in 2014, since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory -- and they found LTE BAND 5.

Xt1063 is single sim, and have and 16gb version, i have a xt1063 16gb single sim.
XT1068 is also sold in Germany, with firmware RETDE. The one from UK has firmware RETGB.
I wonder if those firmwares are freely interchangeable (without any side effects), also considering there's also RETALL version.
Hi, so I just bought a moto g 2nd gen from amazon (amazon.com) global gsm version, but they dont specify which model it is and I want to know if I will get ota update, I live in another country and the phone will take a while to be here so I cant see the model behind the batery :crying:
XT1069 is a brazilian variant fitted with 16Gb and digital TV support
Xt1068 in Brazil have just 8gb. And costs 270 bucks.
XT1068 is also sold in France 8gb with RETALL firmware

Mine is XT1063 and it's sigle SIM
I have both the xt1063 (bought from amazon when the US version was out of stock) and I also have the xt1064 (bought directly from Motorola, just received yesterday)
Both are single Sim versions here in the US, the xt1063 lacks the 1700 AWS band needed for HSPA+ on Tmo here in the states. Once I left the city my xt1063 would fall to edge...and frequently I was stuck with an almost useless "G" data icon. For the past two day I have been using the xt1064, my phone has not dropped out of HSPA+ even being 40 miles outside the city at home.
...for anyone in the US on the fence about buying this phone, wait for the US version...you will be much happier with the signal reception
I've updated the original post with your info, thanks guys.
So it seems the two models sold in the US are 1063 and 1064, both being single sim, which perhaps explains why nobody else has Android L yet.
I'm interested in the idea of a DVB-T tuner in the 1069, I wonder why that didn't make it worldwide. I also wish I could buy a 16gb version :/
Yesterday was announced the 4g version of Moto G, codename xt1078. Its ready to be launched here in a couple days.
Hi All,
I have a Moto X 2014 Retail UK Version, XT1092 is the model number, i would be moving to the US in some time will my moto x work without any issues in the US operators with 4G and all,
If this wont work what are the options i have to get the same phone to work in the US ??

It should work with either AT&T or T-mobile in the US, but I think the LTE bands are different, so HSPA+ is the best you would do. My wife uses a Moto G on T-mobile HSPA+ and I can't tell a difference between data speed for her and my Moto X on LTE during regular use. Cheapest option (assuming only you on the contract) is probably a T-mobile pre-paid SIM. There is a plan from their website with loads of data, but only 100 min of voice per month for $30. They have several other options.
Not knowing how long you will be here, selling your phone and getting a US Pure model (will also work when you go back to UK) might be the best option.
Mine is a network unlocked Moto x in the UK, and i would be relocating permanently to the US, but dont want to sell off this one and get a new one in US. Was checking if there is any way to get the LTE bands enabled in the US or any network provider who uses similar of most of the LTE bands supported by the UK edition and will manage on 3G for the other duration.

My mom has a Droid Turbo, and I still have my Droid Maxx. We are wondering if the Hong Kong data sims will be plug and play (since it's sim unlocked from the factory), I really have no way of testing before we go to HK. My other option is to buy 3 Moto G's as backups in case they don't work, since they're on sale.
Planning to grab a sim from three.com.hk
Specific APN settings would help, maybe the techs at the shop can help us too.
Never been in Hong Kong question is are the HK carriers GSM? if yes then you won't have any issues (I don't have turbo but used many verizon phones in europe)
hope that helps!
check the frecuencies of the phone and the frecuencies by the carrier you want to use on china, if they match you can use it.

If it is a prepaid SIM and preloaded with funds and a GSM carrier with bands compatible with the DT then it will work but as you noted, you are going to have to know the APNs too if you want to use data. The DT is GSM SIM unlocked out of the box. The frequencies are here:
https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones/droid-turbo/droid-turbo-pdp.html
Bands
LTE Cat 4 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
So as you can see, the GSM bands are 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. Then for 3G data the bands are 850, 900, 1900, 2100 and for LTE the bands are 2, 3, 4, 7, 13.

That is entirely dependent on the carrier. None of us know what carrier you are planning on using.
I'm using turbo in hong kong and no problem with all carrier here. Lte can be functioned normally on turbo.
Sometimes it might get no signal for a few seconds because the turbo jump to search for cdma signal.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
OK, so I have searched around in these forums, found the thread where some people were able to unlock some bands for the MOTO MAXX XT1225. However, I just want to verify before I return the hastily bought Droid Turbo from Verzion (XT1254): has anyone had success unlocking LTE Band 17 to use on AT&T here in the states? Right now, it's the only issue I have with the device. I get HSPA+ no problem, phone calls, etc but LTE eludes me. I live in Durham, NC and I verified on my old phone that I use band 17 for LTE.
Yes, I know I should've researched more but hey, some guy on youtube said it works and apparently thats all I need to buy a phone. (Especially at the decent price of $550 for the 32GB)
This is job for @ChazzMatt and his knowledge of bands
There is no proof I have seen of being able to enable any extra bands on any of the Quark series. The only bands I have seen confirmed to work are the ones already enabled in the phone.
Based on FCC info there is no reason to believe the XT1254 supports band 17 LTE. I am quite sure there is nothing you can do to enable it. The XT1254 and XT1225 do share band 2 and 4 LTE hardware but the rest of the LTE hardware is different.

Yeah, other phones have had LTE and HSPA bands enabled, but usually it was bands which are enabled in the same device in other regions -- like Galaxy S5 European bands for USA or vice versa. The modem and firmware supports those bands, but Samsung had certain bands locked down or enabled, depending on where the phone was sold.
People have been unable to enable European LTE band 20 on the Moto Maxx XT1225 because no Quark phone has that band anywhere.
HOWEVER, LTE band 17 is enabled in all XT1225 Quark phones... so could LTE band 17 be enabled in the XT1250 (U.S. CDMA/LTE Moto Maxx/XT1254 (Droid Turbo) ? Theoretically, is possible, but I'm not going to say yes.
I delved into all this deeply months ago to try to enable LTE band 5 on the XT1225 -- since it was found by FCC certification tests, but Motorola didn't list in the Latin America specs when released. Then, after doing a whole bunch of work and confirming with the NV calculator dev, LTE band 5 was already enabled as was HSPA band 4 (for T-mobile). So, while knowledge is always useful, all my work was not necessary.
When the Moto Turbo XT1225 was released (same model number, same FCC ID, same SKU), Motorola FINALLY listed all the bands that are enabled.
@Steve-x is correct. Up to this point in time, no one has enabled LTE bands that are not already enabled. Still, LTE band 17 is theoretically possible since all the Quarks share the same Snapdragon 805 modem, and some do have LTE band 17.
In a similar way, many many people have enabled LTE band 3 on the Nexus 5 D820 and enabled LTE bands 2 and 4 on the Nexus 5 D821. I'm going to do that soon for my wife's Nexus 5, as we are going to Brazil this summer.

XT1250 on AT&T LTE Band 17
It seems the XT1250 and XT1254 are counterparts -- I just purchased a XT1250 thinking Band 17 was enabled, but only getting HPSA+ and no LTE.
Any luck, thoughts, etc on this lately?

Not "counterparts", identical devices. The XT1250 (U.S. Moto Maxx) = XT1254 (Droid Turbo). Same FCC ID, same bands, same exact device. Since the XT1254 does not have LTE band 17, neither does the XT1250. The XT1250 is basically the dev version of the XT1254, with unlockable bootloader via Motorola website like the other Quarks.
While all the Quarks share the same hardware, including antenna, the radios are different. The XT1225 has a different FCC ID because it does have different radio.

The XT1250/XT1254 has CDMA bands which the XT1225 does not have or need. The XT1225 has more HSPA bands, different mix of LTE bands and more LTE bands. All Quarks share LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7. But the XT1250/XT1254 has LTE band 13, while the XT1225 has LTE bands 5 & 17, plus more HSPA bands.
I'm trying to determine which models have the unlocked bootloader. I've heard that AT&T phones do not, but what about the Pure edition on Motorolas website?
This wasn't covered in the Q&A and to me this seemed like an important bit of information so that I may know what can be rooted.
I would also prefer model numbers so I know specifically what to buy and so that I may look into which frequency bands each models use after knowing which can be unlocked.
AFAIK I need the following bands for Cricket Wireless (or other AT&T plans)
3G: 850/1900MHz (bands 2, 5)
4G: 700/1700MHz (bands 4, 17), but may also be starting to utilize 1900MHz (band 2).
Pure Edition is the only one that is factory unlockable from Motorola. It is considered a developer device, meaning the bootloader can be unlocked/relocked without voiding the warranty. Pure Edition model number is xt1095.

It looks like that model may work with AT&T and their partners in the U.S.

I'm using it on AT&T with no issues. Some say they have 4G issues because of the bands AT&T uses, but I have great reception. It comes carrier unlocked, even though it is "for T-Mobile."

My current phone is using band 17, same as when I was 10 states across country as well. Don't think reception will be an issue, hopefully.
