GSM in Europe with Jellybean 4.1 - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I am considering importing a Razr M because of the great form factor and the Qualcomm Processor instead of the Intel which my Razr i has built in.
Now my question is: Is anyone running the Razr M on a Non-US (Europe) GSM network on Jellybean 4.1? Is this working? How's the signal quality? And is HSPA working?
Thanks in advance!

yep, all ok
still have to test using aussie modem

Yes everything works perfectly. I'm running the RAZR M in Australia on GSM with Cm 10.1. Reception is excellent.

I used the phone for a few days in Italy on Vodafone network and it was ok, although, a) I had to manually set the APN for data access, and b) the reception was spotty (could be the network though; reception was similar on an iphone 4S)

Swap the Radio to Aussie Radio will fix the spottiness.

Touch HD in Canada

HI Guys,
Looking to buy a Touch HD to run on the Rogers network in Canada.
Keen to hear from others who are already using the phone in Canada to hear of their experiences of the device running on Rogers?
Also seen that the 850 3G band device is now available in Australia so was thinking this might give me 3G in Canada. Anybody imported one into N. America and had any luck with this?
Thanks,
P
I have one on Fido/Rogers near Toronto, works great besides no 3G. Such a solid device and edge is fast enough for web surfing and email on devices like this due to bottlenecks in hardware. Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS are also strong on the Touch HD too.
The Telestra model may work on 850, mine is 900/2100 though

Thanks for the info. Has anybody actually got the Telestra model working on 3g in north america?
I agree with Zero...everything except 3G works well here (Vancouver). I've even got Caller Name Display going, which is great.
I am also using one here in Toronto. As with all above, everything works well except 3g.
Toronto here too. Works great. I use WIFI mostly and it works great. Won't pay the ridiculous monthly fees that Rogers charges for data. I bought mine from pdaplaza.ca in Quebec.
i think all of us got it early before the Telsa one came out so none of us will be using 3G here.
I just flashed the Telsa rom.....still no 3G.......suck....

Yes I would get the Telstra HD as well. Even if it's slightly more money. The 3G is worth it.

thanks

I have the T8285 (Telstra version) in Montreal. Works great on 3G network (Rogers). I have a solid and fast HSDPA when browsing the Internet.
It was working with original ROM, but flashed a Dutty 6.1 ROM the first day. I flashed few Dutty's 6.1 updates, and now I run Dutty 6.5 R8 without any issue. Those last ROMs are "shipped" with Radio 1.14, but I reverted to Radio 1.10 because the sound level was to low for my taste with Radio 1.14 (but was still working).
I have also tested a few 6.5 Miri ROM (working well).
So, I did not experienced any issue with any ROM...
Touch HD with Fido
Hello, I am using touch hd from sweden and now I am using with fido in Kitchener Ontario, but I can not get good signals and hardly can call any one and can't recieve calls, however if I am outside then I can get better signals and can call or recieve. I have a feeling it is because of 900 frequency. Is any one have idea what I can do? Thanks
touch HD T8282 working very well in Toronto except 3G. I have stock 1.56 rom WWE radio 1.13.25.24 very clear and strong signal even indoors
You need T8285 hardware. no matter you do (flashing radio and rom). It won't change the UMTS signal to 850. It is hardware related.

What is latest Baseband for HD2

What is the latest Baseband or the best baseband for 1700 AWS Frequency Band for Wind Mobile Service in Canada.
My HTC HD2 keep dropping connection, I am running HyperDroid-GBX-v12.
Is there any ROM which is specific to different networks or provide better signal strength.
or is there a way to tweak the signal strength or any APP to boost signal
Please advice
What radio are you on?
Try the radio thread and flash a different one.

HD2s don't have basebands, they have Radio ROMs
And I assume you have a T-Mobile US one. The latest for that (stock) is 2.15.50.14
Radio = baseband as far as I understand. Just semantics ..
Sent from my Atari 600XL using cassette tape and a stamp.
So, if there is a ROM which works better with 3.5 G network ??

Look I have no hard data showing this to be true. But logic tells me it would be the last radio that was made for the HD2, which is version 2.15.50.14 you can find it here as well as flashing instructions. Here is a direct link to the download.

Atrix 4G UK model - Radio

Hi
I just wondered if it was possible to install the baseband-N_01.77.36p radio on a Neutrino rom on a UK model Atrix??
I would love to have some radio that this was suppose to have in the first place?
Surely there's someone who has installed this?

What are you on about...?
Firstly, the UK model is NOT 4G, and will not achieve the so called AT&T 4G speeds. Yes it supports HSPA+ (Which ATT call 4G) but its not the same class as theirs.
Second of all, why do you want to install an AT&T radio on a non AT&T phone? There are plenty of radios for your phone.
It should work, but I don't see the point, also, you may get a false 3G reading i.e your signal will always be 1 bar.
im using an atrix on Everything Everywhere in the UK using N_01.100.00R with no issues, works very well for me.

Me too, but radio performance is weaker on my Atrix than my HTC Hero! In the same place connected to the same cell. Better radio performance would be a real improvement to this h/s.

In addition, would you teach what is displayed when "JAPAN Band" is not displayed?

I'm using my verizon xt907 with telstra radio as well, and Tmobile sim card, and that code does nothing. Using instead *#*#4636#*#* (*#*#INFO#*#*), and going to phone information, I get the same as cellzealot (USA Band or Cellular). I'm using USA Band, as the other doesn't work for me.

Anybody tried the Japanese radio on a Verizon M yet?

If somebody can upload a Japanese radio (or has already done it and can send the link), I'll try... I have to say, though, I tried to mess with QPST, and enable all radio frequencies, and it didn't really make a difference for me (still on Edge...).
Btw: the fact that AWS shows up doesn't mean it will work ... "normal" users are not supposed to mess with those settings anyway, so they may have left all settings enabled, even the ones that don't make sense.

Definitely true, and I'm not really expecting it to work. It'd be pretty awesome if we discovered that the radio did support AWS and just needed to be enabled, though.

Just FYI, the software can enable the bands, but if the hardware (antenna, electronics) doesn't support them, you can even ask holy Jesus and he can't help you either...
That said, I had the 900 band UMTS work with the Verizon radio, but don't know about 1800, especially on LTE...

[Q] Droid Razr m unlock for tmobile

Hello, I am what you classify as a "noob". I was wondering if an unlock is needed for a Droid razr m to work with a tmobile sim card. i have rooted my tmobile g2 so i have some experience, Its time for that upgrade but i dont like any of the tmoble phones currently so i have decided to go look at other brands. I thought about the s3 but its too big. any feed back and links to help would be awesome, Thanks!
I use a Razr M on tmobile. Yes, you would need to have it unlocked... and also do a radio fimrware edit to get 3g/4g with tmobile. But.. it's possible and works great.

Awesome! if you have the time, could you link me to a tutorial to either rooting or unlocking? Im not sure which one comes first cause i've never unlocked a phone before
Actually, there is no SIM lock on the VZW XT907 RAZR M, so having it unlocked is neither possible nor necessary.
There is a block on US GSM carriers that requires editing the radio NVM to disable the block.
I wrote up a tutorial in the Q&A section.

Can't speak to AT&T service/speeds, but in my area, (seattle/tacoma) we have various locations with Refarmed 1900. On the high end, I'm able to get between 7-12 mbps and average a steady 5-6 most places I go. Love it, so far.
