can anyone confirm if you can switch sim cards between a G-Nex and the DNA? I would still love the option of running the newest build to see if I liked new features... I already preordered my DNA but am debating on Selling my nexus if I can still switch to it if I want to...
I know when i went from TB- G-Nex it was a different size... did they change the size again?
Thanks
The DNA has a microSIM slot which is the same as the GNEX.

Which straight talk sim card can I use for the rezound?
can anyone help with this problem can't find answer on the internet anywhere?
Rezound sim card
I am assuming that you want to use it on ATT or T-mobile GSM network? Regardless, it will take either full size or micro. Verizon is the subsiding carrier, and they typically seem to sell it with the micro sim card (and it is what I have in mine) so I'm sure it will work. It should work with either though.
your rezound has the micro sim card?
never seen one that did...
not trying to bust your chops but my sim is easily 3 times the size of my sd card... the micro sim card thats in the razr is roughly the same size as my sd
Is it a Verizon 4g sim or gsm? No offense taken. Just trying to help out as I have been helped on here.
But the resound is able to use either size. I'll post a pic shortly.
Edit: posted pics. I had the same question when I got the phone, but they said it would work with either size. Surprisingly, I haven't had any issue with the micro. No unseating or anything.
any idea if one is better than the other?
i've never heard that rezounds could use the micros...
very interesting, sorry to have been incorrect above
i've seen about 7 or 8 rezounds, and they all have the bigger card, and we all suffer a weak 4g compared to other phones around here...
i wonder if i should try the micro sim, isnt it like a v2, or the next generation of 4g sims??
i think i'll start another thread to see if theres an advantage, but i'm gonna google around looking for more info on its ability to use both, i'm still in awe lol
Well, I have only had the micro, but I can tell you that this thing picks up 4g in usually 1-3 seconds after I turn on mobile network and it doesn't drop unless I tell it to (or if I am in the basement of a large 3 story concrete building at work). It maybe the ics firmware though. I know others have had problems with it, but it has improved my rezound in every way. The only reason I would even think about going back is to be able to use a GB kernel that could undervolt, but the hit I'd take on the web browsing speed just wouldn't be livable not that I have gotten used to the ice cream...

I just received my att sim card in the mail today and I can't get it to work I get sim card from uknown source error message. Are you sure I can activate simcard with this phone? I googled it and cant find this info but see advertisements for people to flash rezound to straight talk for $100. Please tell me you didn't tell me I could do this without auctually knowing what your talking about.

Why is it our responsibility if you ****ed up? The Rezound will work on GSM bands, but as of right now, it does not work fully. You should be able to make and receive calls, may or may not have data, and SMS does not work.

If you did some reading on these forums you'd know that there's a problem with GSM networks. Because a SIM fits into a slot doesn't mean it'll work...
As for flashing to Straight Talk, you shouldn't need to if you have a SIM. What the hell is Straight Talk anyway?

Did you ever get this figured out. I know the t-mobile prepaid card works for me. I'm using Rezrom. I can't remember if it worked for stock or not. I'm thinking about getting a straight talk sim card just to play around with.
Around here straight talk uses Verizon towers. Anyone know how to flash this phone to straight talk? Or would it be ad simple as putting one of their sim cards in?

That's not how straight talk works. If you have Att in your area, straight talk will work. T-mobile and Att are the only networks that will work with the bring your own device plans. You have to get a specific phone to use the Verizon towers.
Straight talk does not have software for any phone other than the optimus they have on android. The tower type is based on the phone's letter. The 900g is att and the t is Verizon?
Edit: Cannot use a non-straight talk phone on straight talk. Even on gsm bands.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
You can use non straight talk phones on straight talk just not for Verizon. The rezound will probably work with the att straight talk sim. You might get data but not positive. T-Mobile straight talk sim will work as well but only for voice.

I purchased a DNA used, and it came unlocked and rooted. The one thing I noticed was that it was not getting 4G. So I return to stock and I am still not getting 4G on my phone. I had a similar problem with my GNEX when I would put a 4.2 ROM on it, I wasn't receiving 4G, but I reverted back to 4.1.2 radios and started getting 4G again. Anybody have any reason why it would not receive 4G LTE?

Go to settings,mobile data,preferred network. mine was set to global by default and i was having the same issue (stock, unrooted). Switch it to LTE/CDMA and see if that helps.

Figured it out. The SIM card was damaged/corrupted when I switched it from my GNEX to the DNA. Went to a VZ, got a new SIM and everything works now. Guess I can't switch back and forth between my XOOM, GNEX, and DNA now...

Figured as much. Because I switch between my XOOM and GNEX constantly. The over-the-phone tech said the DNA could have corrupted the SIM card. I am going to switch the SIMs anyway, just to see what happens. They are free anyway.
A friend gave me his rooted Rezound after he upgraded to a new phone. The Rezound is running CleanRom Standard 4.4. I have a Verizon account with an unlimited data plan (which I very much want to keep) and I am wondering if Verizon will activate this phone on my account.
So two questions:
1. Is there anything technically preventing Verizon from activating a rooted phone?
2. If it is technically feasible, will Verizon just not do it because they're often a**holes?
Thanks for any info
Sidenote: I currently have a Rezound on my account. It has totally insane battery issues that my friend's phone never had. So that's why I'm hoping to use the same phone I love without having to go through the possibly lengthy process of refurbs.
The Rezound is activated by way of a SIM card. If you're just changing from another LTE phone, just pull the SIM out of the old one, put it in the new one, boot up, and done.

Ah! So simple Thanks! I'll switch the SIM cards tonight. Sooooo very glad I don't have to deal with Verizon.
Had a Rezound from Asurion running 4.03.605 and Hboot 2.27. All was well. Left Los Angeles on 12/21. Arrived the next day in the Bay Area on 12/22. And since then? Not able to make or recive a call. All else works: 4G, internet, texting. Just calls. On the phone with Verizon for 1 hour, resettting all data info to my account and phone, no luck. Two hours in store getting new SIM and resetting system...no luck. Another Asurion replacement sent....new SIM card and THE SAME THING! Issue was escalated to Verizon networking team and I spent two hours on the phone yesterday trying to determine issue. Now if the SIM card and all matching items (IMEI) matched up, it should all work, right? The same SIM card was put into two different rezounds...one rooted, one not (fresh out of box) and neither could make a call. The tech finally stated that the software on the phones was the global leak of 4.03 and not a release authorized by Verizon...my reaction - "What?" The tech went so far as to suggest installing the last global leak - 4.05 and new radios and see what happens. Did just that...AND STILL NOTHING. Phone is perfect. Just no phone. Call goes out, connects, then lost. Same for incoming. No one seems to have a solution except blaming the phone software, tower differences between here and L.A....on and on. I find it all BS....because if the plder 4G SIMS are not compatibile, wouldn't many people across the USA have issues? So I come to ask for some of your thoughts. I am plagued right now. Have lost income due to my lack of access and reachability. And being two months shy of my anniversary for an upgrade, the great Corporation will not budge and get me a new working phone. This is a nightmare. I only imagine that as soon as I get back to Los Angeles, the phone will "miraculously" work again.
FYI: I had my original Rezound running 4.05 and Hboot 2.28 back in July 2013...came to the same trip LA->Bay Area. Never had a problem.
Thanks for your time all!
New Sim and different phone with same issues really points to the issue being with the carrier... Not much you can do unfortunately.

ust outta curiosity...do you have data roaming and everything enabled under mobile network settings...that would be my only guess....if not then yes it is verizon...the fact that on 2 seperate phones there is an issue is what gives it away...there is a leaked hboot and radios of hboot 2.28 and the 2.23 radios but idk if this will help your issue

Of the two phones I have in my possesion, one is total stock 4.03.605.....wiped it clean. No calls. The other phone I hacked with Hboot 2.28 and the current radios + 4.05 software....still nothing. A lot of what the senior tech told me is that no phones use those big old SIM cards anymore. Heck, he couldn't even find ONE store that a similar phone I could swap my SIM into in order to see if a call could be made. 1 week now with no phone and no restitution from Verizon. All they want to do is seed me to the Edge program. No dice. I'm fighting this to the end It's clear as day this problem is WAY beyond my control or the phones....all on VZW.

OR....you can get a micro sim from them and buy a microsim to normal sim adaptor like this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/Small-Min...-Adapter-For-iPhone-4-4S-4GS-4th-Gen/28911641 ....im actually doing this currently with a straight talk microsim in the rezound....but again did you ensure all roaming settings are enabled under settings>mobile networks

Done it all with the roaming settings, thanks. But as we all surmise, it's Verizon's problem...old phone can't connect with current networks. They need to admit this and get me a new phone.
8 days with no phone capability and counting.
Just tell then it's your work phone, and that you need it for your job or else. Even most prepaid companies like SraightTalk would replace it of it was your work phone. ST even upgrades you, because it is their fault and not yours.

Flashing is re-programming the NV part of the phone for another CDMA provider. The SIM card is for GSM. What are you trying to do?

Save yourself the time and effort and get better service by using the Straight Talk GSM service. The Moto should already be unlocked. They have 2 different types of SIM cards, ones that use the AT&T towers and ones that use T-Mobile, so you can pick whichever works best in your area.

I purchased the $60 sim bundle and have successfully gotten voice and text to work on straight talk with my droid ultra. However no matter what I change the APN setting to I cannot get data to work. Let me know if you can think why this may be happening.

Straight Talk is notorious for having a variety of APN settings. It can be pretty annoying if you don't find the right one for your phone / update. Hop on wifi and try their app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tracfone.straighttalk.stdatasettings or this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
