I have been facing a strange issue while using india gsm on my verizon droid razr.
I m on stock first of all with little modification of walkman from sxs.
Issue is that i face frequent network outage on my phone where as at the same time, place and same network , my colleagues are just on air with the network.
Thought this had been a sim issue, i tried getting the sim changed. But the problem stayed intact.
What can be the issue pls help me get this sorted out.

Try going to your mobile network settings through the settings menu, and make sure its on gsm.
Another thing you could try is, download phone info from the market, and also double check that is on gsm network.
Thats the best that i would know
Did that..no results. Somebody help me please.

It might be caused of 3G-2G loop. Set your default network type to 2G to see if it helps.

Hey thanks semseddin, issue happened to be that only.
But to my belief once we have put it into automatic mode. It should automatically shift to edge where 3G is not available.

That depends since the radio on the xt912 isn't meant to work at its best in U.K. You could alternatively try another simcard preferably a 128kb microsim.
got a droid razr gsm XT910. the issue is it won't work on a certain sim (suddenly) asked the network if it was blacklisted (NO) and until now im still wondering what caused the issue. just sharing
Bro Put it On Global Network mode Then later switch to Gsm Mode then u should get signal if any pm or reply ur quiery here

Dont worry, your English is better than a lot of people who actually live here! Ive heard rumors that yes both radio's are present, but no one has been able to activate the GSM radio in a Verizon RAZR.
Thanks for answer .. on eBay i see that, there sells unlock for GSM for Roger's droid Razr. But i don't see Verizon unlock))
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Don't live in US so not shure but aren't Roger's using GSM?
I thought it were just Verizon who used CDMA.
Just got the XT912 a few days ago, from the packaging somehow it seems they use the SIM card for the 4G data package, and that sim can swapped between 4G devices, but the main part of the vzw service is still cdma.
I found an answer...Verizon droid razr has a GSM compability but locked by firmware

And with the ics update that locked part will go away, or at least the locked bootloader will, and that may lead to being able to unlock the Sim

Hi, somebody please confirm if the Droid Razr will work with a GSM network like Airtel in India. If Yes, can some one please also describe the procedure to get it working?
Thanks in advance,

VZW droid razr don't work in GSM.. for this is xt910
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
was wondering if this could be possible cause i was reading the forums and found someone that did it by flashing the ap to the verizon razr if you could help me out that would be great thanks
It's not possible. Verizon uses CDMA, EVDO and LTE. AT&T uses GSM and UMTS. Completely different technologies. However, if you can get an XT910, a GSM version of the RAZR, you can use it on AT&T (this is what I have).

im actually looking into this because my cousin has just left Verizon for att and it is possible they use sim cards and people have reported it working im not sure on many details of it yet but its out there just google "verizon droid razr on at&t"
look here http://blog.laptopmag.com/ics-world-phone-capabilities-come-to-verizons-droid-razr-and-razr-maxx
You cannot do that after the ICS update. With ICS, you can roam onto global GSM networks but many people have reported that you cannot change the default network from Verizon.
From everything I've heard the xt912 has the appropriate radios to connect with at&t cell towers but the usage of this feature is being blocked by vzw. Now I don't know if a custom rom like cm9 would allow for this or not.

I believe the open is talking about using an at&t sim card on an at&t plan, not just roaming on their bandwidth

RAZR on AT&T network
Yes it is possible. I did it. The only thing is that I only use the phone for calls and texts and WiFi for data. In the bionic forum, they tell you to download Radiocomm. I did not do that. AlI did was just change the setting to gsm/utms network and placed the AT&T sim card and waited for 15-30 minutes for the phone to connect
Btw, I'm on ics.

does data work ?
what "little modification" are we talking about
write up ? link ?
The procedure...
Data does work because I get an "H". But i choose to turn off data because i do not want to be billed.
I am on ics.
This is what I did (modified from the bionic forum)
- got an att sim card activated with a basic gsm phone
- turned off razr
- replaced the Verizon sim card with att Sim card
- turned on phone. You will get an "unknown sim card" error. Press ok
- go to system setting>more> mobile networks> select GSM/UMTS
- click back button, select access point names, select AT&T US (wap.cingular)
- press *#*#4636#*#*
- go to phone information, select WCDMA preferred, below it, turn off radio then turn it back on, exit by pressing home
- turn off data sync in the mobile data networks. Also turn off wifi.
- wait up to 30 minutes or more to let the phone connect to the network

I turned on data then I lost the signal. It would not come back even though the phone reads the access point name. I think either AT&T or Verizon saw that I'm using an unauthorized sim card and disabled the signal.

That's what I figured. Cellzealot is working on a hack but it doesn't look very promising - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619563. They do have a hack for the Bionic to use 3G on AT&T. I set my little bros phone up a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the hack seems to only work on GB and not ICS. Most Moto global phones can be unlocked for AT&T but since the Razr wasn't officially released as a global phone and they basically only announced global support because they couldn't patch it on ICS (my opinion, not confirmed), the Razr is different.

I heard that you only lose data when in U.S., when overseas your (overseas) SIM will work with data.

From the bionic forum is where I saw that moto phones will work if the GSM radio is installed and enabled. Being updated to ics, Verizon enabled Gsm radio to have used as a global phone.

I haven't followed it as closely as I once did, but the Droid 3 is completely hackable because AT&T has a similar device. So I purchased the unlock code, flashed the GSM radio and it was done. TBH created a hack for the Droid Pro that would unlock it (old file, not recently updated) similar to the unlock file that works for the Bionic. They also have a Razr unlock file that I believe changes some settings to GSM (I don't believe it's a true hack just setting changes) but it doesn't unlock data in the US. It only allows data overseas. One user in the thread I linked to reported picking up data in the US but only because he's close to Canada and AT&T was roaming to Canadian towers. That's further proof that Verizon and US GSM networks have enabled some sort of block that is yet to be cracked. Cellzealot is a pretty smart guy. If I had to guess (that is IF it can be hacked), he'll be the guy to do it.
A general consensus across the board is that ICS has changed the radio handling which has made sim unlocking much more difficult and patched previous hacks. Again, I'm just paraphrasing what I've read from Cellzealot. He's your guy for more information.

On ICS now but I've tried it on GB too. Never have gotten anything to work. Have done the NV edit and various patches, roms, settings.
I hope cellzealot has an epiphany.
Can anyone attest to their 4g signal after the JB OTA? I'm in LaGuardia right now (Not my home town) and I keep fluxing between 4g and 3g.
I'm curious if it's the airport or just the new radio.
Share your thoughts and let's start a dialogue!?
Mine is worse. Drops to 3g all of the time.

Talking about the ota jb. Leak was OK on signal. Ota seems to drop 4g a lot!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Official OTA radio is leagues worse than the leak.
I constantly drop data connectivity and wifi all the time. it is horrible. I want to go back to the leak.
I got the same but I found that it because of wrong APN. I have to APNs with same name - Verizon Internet. First one uses eHRDP bearer but second one - LTE. Right one APN is second one (LTE bearer). You can change it via Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names . But sometimes it resets to first one and I don't know why.

You may be on to something. I changed mine to second option and have not lost 4g yet.

Get VZ to send you a new sim card. The sim card is where the 4g lte is at. I had this issue about a year ago. VZ sent me new sim but that did not help although it does majority of the time. Anyways, I have coverage (insurance) but did not matter cause moto said my razr xt912 was defective so they sent me a new REfub which solved issue to date.

I had a similar experience/issue on my phone a few months ago. In my case, I wasn't able to use 3G or 4G LTE. It took more than just a factory reset to get my phone back up and running again. What resolved it was Matt's Utility. Depending on which option you select within his utility, there is one (possibly more) option that not only wipes all system and used data, it also flashes the stock radios as well. I feel your pain buddy. Let know if I can help.
