I'm going to France with my VZW DE, unlocked and rooted.
Can I buy a French sim card (do they have nano cards??) and it will just work?
Or do I need to do some APN magic?

You can get nano sim in France and it will work with Verizon. They'll either have original nano or they'll cut it for you. You won't have LTE though cause Verizon supports only 750MHz LTE. But that isn't big disadvantage as 3G is really fast and widely accessible.
APN is usualy set automatically, depending of chosen mobile provider. I assume that you want to use mobile data too, therefore I recommend either Lets Go Data Sim of Orange France if you can get along only with data plan or LeFrench Mobile packet with Transatel group Sim if you want to have full option (talking, sms, data). Lets Go Sim is available in Orange Boutiques throughout France, just ask for the 'Pass Prepaye Let's Go SIM'. You'll pay €10 (about $14) for 1GB lasts 7 days and you can get topup vouchers in the same shops. Manual setting - APN: orange, username: orange and password: orange. For Lefrench mobile you can find full instruction in English at: http://www.lefrenchmobile.com/en/data-bundles.html.
In order to save on calling to the USA you may want to set voip on your phone. You have broad specter of providers as Skype, maybe Hangouts or others which operates with preset SIP on your phone.

I thought I could find nano sims, after all Moto X is sold in France.
My phone is a Verizon Wireless CDMA phone, though it does include some UMTS bands:
850/900/1900/2100 . The LTE bands are 4/13, which I don't believe are used in Europe, as piskr said.
The real question is about the APN. Right now the APN is set for VZWINTERNET. If I insert an Orange sim card, will the phone automatically change to the Orange APN? If not, how do I add the Orange APN? piskr gave the Orange APN settings, but how do I add them ?
I now use CSipSimple and Zoiper ( iax works great over mobile ), so I'll get the Orange Pass Prepaye Let's Go SIM. $14-15 for 1gig over 7 days is a real bargain, especially if the 3G is fast enough for voip.
The only problem with a data only plan is the inability to text.
Thanks for all the help.

UMTS frequencies used in Europe are: 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz and they are perfect match with your phone so you are set. And don't worry, Europe put a lot into 3G development, you'll have mostly everywhere HSPA+ that means more than enough bandwith for voip. European LTE bands are with rare exceptions 3,20,3, therefore you won't have LTE but I'm certain that you won't miss it either. But remember: Orange Fr blocks voip so you may rather opt for another provider or enable VPN. You certainly can't have sms service with voip but on the other hand texting is cheap and if you can use voip calling you wouldn't depend much on sms.
Regarding manual APN settings there is no hassle with that. You can add or remove right away any APN you wish: go to settings - mobile networks - APN (and save it). I use 3 different as you can see from attached picture. In rare occasion that your provider blocks other APNs you'll have the chance to set it as soon as you change SIM. If it won't be set automatically.

Do you have the Verizon Wireless Developers Edition - XT1060? I 've got developer options on. My APN screen (Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Acces Point Names ) shows only the VZW APN. The Menu on the upper right has only one choice: Reset to default. If I choose that, I get 9 APN's - All VZW.

Just had a long talk with L2 Motorola support. There should be a add button ( a + enclosed in a circle ) on the top right of the APN screen. There isn't on my APN screen. The suggestion was that it was deleted with 4.4.2.

It wasn't deleted. Possibility to add APN is SIM card dependent. Inserting the different SIM card will enable option to add APN. I'm on 4.4.2 and able to add as many APN's as I wish.

Hello,
I have the Droid 3 with Verizon, unlocked, with verizon vodafone sim activated. I am currently in Canada, and am wondering why it will not connect to GSM/HSDPA towers.
If I go into the wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> Operator selection the phone will show me Rogers 2G, Rogers 3G, Bell, and Telus networks.
I also get this error for all three in the drop down menu, the name just changes:
No service
Selected network (CAN Rogers wireless inc. 3g) unavailable.
I have all the APN's entered for all three of those carriers, and can select them with an application named APN Manager, however none of those APN's show up in my wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> access point names. Both the vodafone APN's are unselected though.
I am looking to get on this GSM/HSDPA network, as when I am out in the country there is only 1x dial up internet on CDMA, and HSDPA available in the country.
If anyone can help me out, let me know!
Thanks much, in advance!
I have posted this exact same question at Howardforums. Here is the link to that thread:
/showthread.php/1736801-Q-Droid-3-GSM-Roaming
You will have to first go to howardforums website, then add the above part
Forgot to mention: I tried a Rogers and a Telus sim card and they both got calling service.
Not sure if Verizon has roaming agreement with any of the Canadian GSM networks. You can roam using CDMA here without any problem. I believe Telus is backing up Verizon here when it comes to CDMA.
If you want to use GSM you can put a SIM from any of the operators here (except AWS ones) and you will be fine since you have unlocked phone. Cheaper to use too, of course if using local SIM is an option for you. If you will be using local SIM you will need to define APNs or you won't get data connection. Head over Google for the settings for each of the operators here (Canada)

Thanks Leobg. I believe you are right that there is no roaming agreement for GSM, which makes sense. Verizon lady told me otherwise
This phone is going back though, as I was looking for some HSPA while in the country.
I was using Droid3 and Droid4 with Mexican SIMS, IUSACEL and TELCEL without problem. Now Im at Canada and Rogers SIM doesnt work on both phnes. I guess they are locked, can you describe me how to unlock where i do purchase unlocking codes?
reply
If you are on a contract with Verizon, you can ask them for unlock code,
Insert a sim card which it ain't accepting, enter the unlock code and its done.
Don't forget --- Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM/UMTS
But I believe once unlocked, Verizon doesn't work on it.
It sounds like the SIM. Or try switching to CDMA. I think the Canadian carriers still have CDMA on their towers (used to a few years ago) and maybe that's the roaming the lady means.
Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution
I recently got my XT894, Droid 4 in the mail, and hooked it up to Rogers Wireless in Canada.
When I was receiving phone calls, the built in dialer would tell me that "Pay Phone" is calling, the solution to contact the Rogers Customer Care, and have them remove the "Name Display" option.
Rogers has 2 services for call display:
Name Display (which does a phonebook lookup from Roger's Side)
Call Display (the number of the dialer who is trying to dial you)
Most motorola radios don't actually support these 2 features together, so Blur reads it as "Pay Phone". After contacting Customer Service, have them remove ONLY "Name Display". I restarted my phone then everything started working properly again.
I hope this helps someone!
First off, I wanted to say that I'm on the leak 6.16.206
I also got mobile hotspot working on Rogers (this solution may apply to other rooted users running on different providers).
I added the APN settings as defined originally here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20366961&postcount=2
Name: Rogers Tethering
APN: isp.apn
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: dun
otherwise, any other fields are showing as <not set> OR None
When I tried to add dun to the apn type, the moto UI told me only providers could add DUN types, so I went into SQLite Editor -> Phone/Messaging Storage -> telephony.db -> carriers -> Located the last APN which I added manually, scrolled over to "type" then long pressed that field, chose "edit field" and added dun. Once completed, I restarted my phone. I now have the stock mobile hotspot app working (I had to also disable the entitlement check earlier) on Rogers!

Yup, no LTE though, just GSM HSPA
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
I can confirm that the Droid 4 works on Rogers. Took a week of fiddling, but it works.
Received the Droid 4 with 2.3.4 installed. Did the over-the-air updates to 4.0.4. Rooted it, installed SafeStrap 3, and installed Olegfusion's CM10/JB ROM (4.1.2), and was off to the races. Shows "E", "3G", and "H" when accessing the Internet.
have you ever try with stock kernel?
I wonder not to update to CM10 right now. I have a problem, it seems to connect, 3G/H letter, bu no tranmition. I have an old jaj, Droid3 working perfectly with same APN records.
Any thing that could help me??

LTE on this phone is not compatible with the Rogers network. If you want a Rogers LTE phone, pickup the Motorola RAZR HD. The phone will operate on 3G or 3.5G, although we in Canada consider HSPA+ to be "4G".
LTE can give you rates of up to 100mbps usually gives you about 25-30mbps
HSPA+ can give you rates up to 12-15mbps I usually get 4-5mbps
I hope that helps!

The phone comes unlocked, you just have to load up ICS and throw on the Rogers APN (rogers-core-appl1.apn) and you're good. If you want to do some of the advanced features like setting up wireless tethering and stuff along those lines, you'll need root.

Yes. They are still blocked against US GSM carriers but will work fine everywhere else, no locks.

Maybe someone can help me, I'm on Rogers. I have this same issue on Stock ICS .217 and on CM10. I can make phone calls and send text messages, but I cannot receive either. When I put my sim card in to another phone, I start getting my text messages. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Have you tried another SIM card in your phone? Sounds like you have something wired. I would also check to make sure you are in global mode on the phone.

eBay, yes.I got mine as "bad ESN" from a liquidator, it was quite a good deal. Obviously, by now you can find clean ESN versions for below $250.
Anyways, I am on Koodo/Telus. Under Mobile Networks Settings / Network Mode set GSM/UMTS and Select Network must be UTMS only, the default finds GSM which is weird because Telus AFAIK does not even have a GSM network! It has CDMA, HSPA+, LTE even iDEN but not GSM. Before I forced UMTS, phone calls worked more or less but mobile data rarely. Since I forced UMTS I get mobile data everywhere, inside buildings, all that -- I had lots of reception problems with Wind Mobile, Telus is infinitely better.

[SOLVED] DROID 4 Canada SMS/voice only, no data on Rogers/Fido - help!
SOLVED! see below.
Droid 4 from Ebay, $135 or something + shipping. Replacing my string of bad luck with i927's from smartphone_wholesale (aka Cell Phone Forever) on ebay (tho the 1st one they sent was great til i lost it).
SMS/Voice is fine but cannot do any cell data on it. Following all settings on fido's site for APNs the fido-core-appl1.apn doesnt work. Had to manually put it in (APN list was blank). Tried my wife's Roger's sim, it populated the APN list itself (4 of them, all combos of internet w or w/o MMS, and rogers +/- 'internet' in the name). None of them work either (they match what's in the fora here and on the rogers site, rogers-core-appl1.apn etc).
Im a bit of a newb: is my phone not unlocked properly or something? What gives? Radio is set to global or GSM/UMTS (CDMA doenst work of course). What's the solution here?

yes mobile data is on (and roaming set to yes but phone states it's not roaming now)
every time i've added apn's and saved i've rebooted (and rebooted twice with wife's SIM in too, in case settings had to go sim -> phone + reboot, etc). No luck any way ive tried.
Thanks for help.
[UPDATE]
belay that request cadet!
Ok I just removed the wife's sim and put mine in, rebooted, and this sim (fido) doesnt populate the APN list. I was in the middle of inputting settings for it, hadn't finished and a buncha text+ came in and wifi is off (I saw I was on Edge, big blue E on status bar). Then before I could even react I had hit save, and data turned off.
Yep, removing "internet" from the APN 'type' works fine. Leave it blank.
W t f. Maybe someone can explain that shiz to me.
Hello Team,
i purchased a unlocked HTC one and i use a AT&T gophone sim card. i am not able to get the LTE signals so i would like to know is the phone capable or its an issue.

This happened to me a few months ago. The phone is definitely capable and you will get LTE signals on the $60/month GoPhone plan.
1. First of all, call GoPhone customer support (611 from the phone) and confirm that they have your HTC One whitelisted for LTE. They're going to double check with you your phone's IMEI number (they can already see it, but will ask you for it anyway), and then confirmed that the phone is allowed to get LTE signals. They're also going to double check your APN setting and provide you with the appropriate entries for AT&T.
2. Reboot and see if you now get LTE signals. If you still don't get it, check whether your mobile network settings is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto instead of GSM/WCDMA Auto or WCDMA Preferred (or maybe something else). If you don't see any LTE option, dial *#*#4636#*#* from your dialer, and in the first drop down box choose 'GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto' or anything with LTE just to make sure you can catch LTE signals at all. If you were able to find and switch to the setting you want, exit out, and go back to that menu, double checking if the setting sticks. If it does, reboot and try again.
3. Most people will get LTE signals after #1 above, while some were only able to get it after #2. However if you are unlucky like me, the LTE setting does not show up in mobile network and no matter what I do in the hidden menu, the setting won't stick (it's stuck on GSM/WCDMA Auto). I actually tried flashing a different radio at this point (a newer AT&T radio), but still... no LTE for me. What solved this finally for me is that I flashed a custom ROM (in my case it was ARHD 12.2). This enabled me to choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto under mobile network settings, and after that I was able to get LTE. It was great! :good:
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
My wife bought an international version of the HTC One, and I'm unable to get the LTE to work. The most it will do is bounce between 3G and H+ on AT&T's network. I've been to the AT&T store to have a new sim card put in it, and that actually knocked the phone down to 2G speed or less, and I've only just managed to get the H+ to come back.
The phone model is 801n and shows to have LTE as an option.
LTE is available in my area and at great strength on my OneX+.
Let me know if there's any other info you may need to know.
Go to phone, enter *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone options, and there is a dropdown menu. The option you want is "GSM/WCDMA/LTE (auto)"
If that option isn't available, you may need to do some work converting it to a US version (like the Developer Edition, or Google Play edition).
Out of curiosity, go to settings>about and post what your software number is.
You can also log into your AT&T account and look at the data plan you're on. It should say LTE. If not, they haven't properly provisioned it.

Software version is still 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0.... she bought the phone off someone who moved to the US from the UK, and we haven't checked for an OTA software update yet... mainly because my wife finds it impossible to charge the phone and it's completely drained at the moment.
I guess the simplest answer was the right one... Even though I told them repeatedly while in the AT&T store to activate LTE data on the line, checking my account online show's they did not. I suppose I'll call and sit on hold for a few hours tomorrow to get things straightened out.
Hopefully it will work fine by tomorrow evening.
After spending 2 and a half hours on the phone with AT&T account and tech support, the problem seems to be that their system will not recognize the phone as being capable of connecting to their network.... that is to say, based off the IMEI number, their system doesn't even seem to recognize what the phone even is, nor whether or not it is capable of more than 3G or HSDPA speeds.
The tech support guy tried to force the LTE on to the data plan, and he said their system wouldn't put the LTE on the plan because the phone wasn't compatible.... since the system goes off the IMEI number, he didn't think converting to an AT&T or other versions would help, because their system still wouldn't add on the LTE access...... since I assume the IMEI doesn't change with the rom, correct?
I guess it's no wonder the guy was selling the phone so cheap.
On the bright side, the OTA updates came across tonight. Jelly-Bean and Sense 5.5 are alive and kicking.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm still looking for solutions.
I struggle to believe in all that time nobody figured out your phone is incompatible with the network.
The AT&T version of the phone exists to connect to the AT&T network, which is not the same as what the international version supports.

The hardware for the international version and the AT&T version appear to be the same.. according the phone specifications, it should be able to connect.
As far as the length of time I was on the phone with them, I went through one account specialist and one tech support specialist.. both kept wanting to try something else. And then there were a few software updates during that time period, and numerous "try rebooting the phone again" and "let me put you on hold for a few minutes."
Frequencies for each market are different. They don't want to include all frequencies because the CPU vendor qualcomm charges per frequency. There in no point to include frequencies that are not going to be used by most people of each market.

Where are you checking the specs?
AT&T network supports 1700MHz AWS and perhaps 700MHz.
International One (EMEA) is 800, 1800, 2600MHz.
Do you have another AT&T LTE phone or a friend with one? If so, swap the SIM, activate an LTE data plan on the line, verify working, then put the SIM back in the One and see if the change sticks.
That's what I would try anyway. Also, when you enter *#*#4636#*#* on the phone and go to phone info, what option is set under "Set preferred network type"?
Another thing to check is your APN settings. For that, go to settings>mobile data. The Network mode should be set to "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto" in there. Next, click on "Access point names". Hit the menu button, and select "New APN". Here's the settings to enter:
Name: ATT Phone
APN: phone
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type:
APN type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri
Those are the settings in my HTC One Developer Edition on the AT&T network. Now it is possible that that the LTE frequency for us is not enabled on that phone. I haven't used the international software on my HTC One.
Seems to me this issue should have a somewhat simple resolution. But I'm no expert. It is possible to convert it to an AT&T or Developer Edition (which was designed to work on AT&T networks) by going S-Off, changing the model ID (MID) and customer ID (CID), and flashing the desired software (RUU file). The big difference between the Dev and AT&T versions are having the AT&T sh*tware pre-installed or not.
As posted earlier, the hardware inside is the same.

A quick google search for HTC One 801n brings up many sites with the specs. I'm too new a member to post any links, apparently.
Here are the frequencies the phone is capable of though.
Network

3G: UMTS 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz

Do you have another AT&T LTE phone or a friend with one? If so, swap the SIM, activate an LTE data plan on the line, verify working, then put the SIM back in the One and see if the change sticks.
That's what I would try anyway. Also, when you enter *#*#4636#*#* on the phone and go to phone info, what option is set under "Set preferred network type"?
Another thing to check is your APN settings. For that, go to settings>mobile data. The Network mode should be set to "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto" in there. Next, click on "Access point names". Hit the menu button, and select "New APN". Here's the settings to enter
Those are the settings in my HTC One Developer Edition on the AT&T network. Now it is possible that that the LTE frequency for us is not enabled on that phone. I haven't used the international software on my HTC One.
Seems to me this issue should have a somewhat simple resolution. But I'm no expert. It is possible to convert it to an AT&T or Developer Edition (which was designed to work on AT&T networks) by going S-Off, changing the model ID (MID) and customer ID (CID), and flashing the desired software (RUU file). The big difference between the Dev and AT&T versions are having the AT&T sh*tware pre-installed or not.
As posted earlier, the hardware inside is the same.

Wife and her phone are out of town until tomorrow.... if I can pry it from her hands when she gets back, I'll slide my sim card in and see if anything happens. Otherwise, I'll check the settings you posted and see if anything needs to be changed and if that has an affect on service.

Reverse that. Put her SIM in your phone (assuming you have an LTE device), then see what's what.

A quick google search for HTC One 801n brings up many sites with the specs. I'm too new a member to post any links, apparently.
Here are the frequencies the phone is capable of though.

2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
3G: UMTS 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz
4G: LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz

It can't really be said what frequencies the 801n supports, because there are multiple versions of 801n. What's the MID we're talking about?
When I am in Mexico (close to the US), the phone insists to stay on the T-Mobile signal (even though the signal is so weak that I cannot place a call, send sms or use the internet), so I have to manually search available networks and manually select the network I need several times per day. When the phone DOES switch to the Mexican carrier, it switches to Movistar which offers really bad internet service. Two questions:
1.- Is there a way to modify the radio so that I do not have to search for networks every time I need to switch networks? (Like the iphone. The iphone keeps the available networks search results on the Settings >> Carrier tab)
2.- Instead of the radio defaulting to Movistar when it goes into roaming, is there a way to modify it so that it defaults to Telcel? (Telcel is another carrier in Mexico).

I would use APN settings. You should be able to manually select the one you want once you get them setup.
