[Q] Droid2&ATT

Droid 2 Global + AT&T = ?
Before anyone says it, i've googled it, and searched this forum for a couple hours, so please no "try the search function" - pointless posts.
Theres a buddy of mine trying to sell me his Droid 2 Global, my problem? I enjoy my HTC Aria. Now the Droid is verizon branded [obviously] and i've seen people complain about how the rom didn't allow them to use the SIM card. Idk if they were kidding or not [because i havn't a clue if there is a SIM slot on the droid 2] but through rooting and installing a different ROM, would be using my AT&T Sim card in the Droid 2 be effective or will it be a high-priced paper weight?

Paperweight. Unless you pay tbh 100$ for the unlocked radio.

Droid 2 & Droid 2 Global, Can I have a guide to unlock both? Or is the process the same for them to be able to use an AT&T SIM card, since the only real guide i've seen says at the end "DOESNT WORK WITH AT&T SIM" so yeah...

It can only be unlocked by team black hat. You have to send the phone to them and the service costs $100. There is no guide available to DIY period.

The Droid 2 doesn't have a SIM cards slot and only has a CDMA radio so it can only be unlocked to work on CDMA only networks.

[Q] got verison droid x but have AT&T

My friend just gave me her droid x. I love everything about the phone. Is there any way that. I can use it with AT&T? Tryin to keep from switching services.

It's impossible to use a Verizon Droid X on AT&T due to the phone being CDMA. If you has the GSM variant the Milestone X, you could use it.
Even without being activated, the Droid X is a great phone to play around with.

[Q] Anyone have an iPhone 5 and Nexus 4

I'm with AT&T and currently have an iPhone 5 and HTC One X. The problem is when I put my sim in my One X, I can only get cell service (no data). Will that be the same for the Nexus 4 as that is the phone i really want instead of the HOX.

Did you check the APN settings on HTC One X? I presume you used a sim card adapter to fit a nano sim in HTC One X?
If you get a nexus 4 it will work perfectly and you will get HSPA+ network. Your HTC one x should work too check the apn settings.

i did use an adapter. One X settings will not let me change the apn, but it should already be set up for LTE as it is an LTE device right?

I meant the HOX, sorry. Its LTE compatible, right?

have you tried pressing the options button on the apn screen and choosing reset to defaults ? it should wipe the apn's and let you choose new ones

I did but it won't let me select the new one I create. I think the iPhone plan won't let you use other phones on it. At least that's what the reps at AT&T said

SOLVED

I went into AT&T to try to get them to help me. Met a fairly knowledgeable rep who got me taken care of. iphone will work on non-iphone lte plan but android won't work on an iphone lte plan. So my one x and iphone are interchangeable now :laugh: (with a sim adapter of course!)
Hope this will help someone else

It would help if you mention what the rep did to fix it.

Droid Turbo for use on T-Mobile?

Will this work?
It appears to support all the necessary radios/bands.
I would love the droid turbo (camera/screen) vs. the nexus 6.
Would be cool if the droid turbo (bought full retail) could be used on T-Mobile.
Any thoughts/comments?

I believe the Turbo will be launched for other carriers (T-Mobile/AT&T) as the "Moto X Play", from what I've read. This was based on FCC filings, but I forget where I saw it.

Seems like a better phone than the nexus 6.
I'm going to buy the 6 at launch but feel the 6" screen will be too big for me,.
-RR

I'm curious if the Moto X Play will be like the "pure" edition and will work on Verizon. It seems like the Nexus 6 will support all bands for all carriers, so there is only one SKU for that device in the USA, and a second SKU for international use.
If the Moto X Play is literally a carbon copy of the Droid Turbo but supports the additional bands, I'll buy it from Moto instead of VZW.
Only 6 days and 20 hours left...
Edit: I said pure edition, which is a Moto X thing, but really meant the N6 idea of having all bands on one device. Having the Turbo and Moto X Play is to get around the exclusivity of the Droid name, which is now locked up with Moto and Verizon only.

I think GSM version that visited the FCC might be called the Moto Maxx instead of the Moto X Play

Thanks! I was hot on the Verizon Droid Turbo but now I will wait to see if Motorola will come out with a Pure Edition model of it! Not sure they will however! Motorola seem to be giving out the high ends to exclusive tied U.S. carriers. Hope I am wrong! Love to buy a U.S. version Moto Maxx or Moto X Play unlocked 5.2" with the specs of the Nexus 6 inside!

Moto X Verizon LTE-A?

Does anyone know if it's compatible?

I would also like to know this :good::good:

Moto X is in the list right before Z Droid and Z Droid Force

How do you know if your phone is utilizing this service.

What list? All I find is a list of fairly random phones Verizon sells (no moto x pure, or s6 edge for that matter).
It wont let me paste the link, but its straight from the Verizon lte-advanced site.

There is a list of LTE-A capable phones in this article towards the bottom. They infer they got the list from Verizon but don't explicitly say so. That is why I asked how do you know if your phone is using it. Here's the link: http://www.droid-life.com/2016/08/29/verizon-lte-a-advanced-network-cities/

I saw that list. "Moto X" is pretty vague.. Is it the 2014 version, Pure, Etc...
If anyone has insight it would be great to hear.

Purely circumstantial, but I had what appeared to be unusually speedy downloads on my Moto X Pure on Verizon this morning. I don't recall seeing these speeds in the prior tests (usually 25-50Mbps down). Proves nothing, but perhaps suggestive of LTE-A use?

Sure looks like it. What ROM you running?

Aren't all SD 801+ phones and tablets LTE-A enabled? Most of the phones on that list have at least an 801 or newer, if not an alternative like the 410 or 605.

Isn't the Droid Turbo basically the Moto X Pure? Verizon says it's supported.

I'm running the unrooted stock ROM.

Has anyone else been able to verify if Advanced works or not? I had a buddy at work that was getting 90 to 100 with an S7 while I was getting around 40 ?

I have both a Moto x Pure, and a S6 Edge, and side by side they get roughly the same speeds (+/-5mbs) here in SF. I average about 20 mbs with Verizon.

Ugh still a grey area for a certain answer. I'm not seeing anything really above 30/20, nothing to complain about but it's not a 100 meg connection like some are claiming.
Have a feeling there are software prerequisites that must be met

VZW recently boosted speeds in my area, Louisville KY, and I've seen up to 60/20 on mine. Other days and locations I only pull 12/3.

Anyone have a definitive answer yet?

Here in Houston I can't confirm either
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

According to the description of LTE Discovery app, it will display active LTE-A information in rooted devices, but it doesn't mention how it handles Link Aggregation. Just throwing it out there...

I'm in Tampa running TruPure and haven't gotten a bump, despite having all my advanced goodies enabled.
Someone in the TruPure thread has triple digit speeds, so it doesn't appear to be my ROM holding me back.
