I was given a Motorola Droid X from a co-worker to replace my original Motorola Droid and when I went to activate it on PagePlus their system told me the ESN isn't clear! That sucks but it was free so I thought I would just use it as a game and music player. It has been reset by my co-worker so it is at an activation screen and won't let me get past it, it is saying I must activate it. I hit activate, it calls some place and asks what the number is for the phone, I don't have one. How do I get rid of this so I can just use it as an android device and not a phone?
Ok found out I can click all corners to get out of that. Is there anyway to use this as a phone? If not what can I do to make it the best media device?
Google voice might be an option... But only when on WiFi since you won't have cell service

Should i root it to make it a better Android device? What is the best ROM for it?

Does anyone have a way to get Google Wallet on this device? I've tried downloading a modified .apk, moving ot to the /system/apps folder and rewriting the permissions, but I always get an "Application Not Installed" error with no explanation as to why. I'm rooted and willing to go to a new ROM if necessary.
I thought this phone was supposed to have Google wallet
It has nfc chip

Unfortunately Wallet isn't included with it and it's "not compatible" according to the Play Store. It Is, though, Isis Ready, not that I would use the carrier product over Google's.
Do not quote me, but the Moto website mentioned wallet with JB...

I tried to edit the build.prop for the RAZR HD to look like a Gsm gnex, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if I did it right though, but I probably did it wrong, so that would explain why. What would I have to do to change it to look like a gnex?
Nothing has worked so far, so I can't help lol, was just inputting my trials as to what I did to try to get it to work...only other idea I can think of off the top of my head is to install a modified apk file of Google wallet but can't even guarantee that will work because someone already said they tried and it didn't work for them
Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.
Anyone have any luck yet?
Well this is disappointing...I'm considering upgrading to this phone and I'd want to use ALL of the NFC capabilities.
I'd really like to see a work-around for this!

Be patient. NFC implementation is still pretty immature. You'll find more uses for it by the end of next year.

I would love to use Google Wallet on my phone. I used it on my Nexus 7 but I feel too silly holding up my tablet to a terminal... If anyone can help I would be very appreciated.

What about the XT925 (the GSM version)...has anyone managed to get Google Wallet working on that? It's actually very easy to use in my town and I'd love to be able to do it again.
Any updates on this?

From what I remember it is nearly impossible right now. There are old threads about it but something about google digitally encoding the app to a certain phone or something

new info
I DL and installed Google wallet apk 1.1 r57v5
Side loaded it and the install went thru
I have and NFC sim and Isis installed on my RAZR HD w/o root
It will install with this apk version, but it won't work. At app launch I get an error about it not being approved for my country or device / carrier. This is very similar to the error I got when try to open Isis before getting the NFC sim.
I'm very new to this but I'm hoping I've stumbled on something someone who has a more technical understanding of this issue can build on.
Google Wallet want the secure element in the phone not on the SIM. VZW won't give anybody access to the secure element in the phone.
So unless Motorola writes software that talks to a secure element that is on a SIM, forget it.
So I got my Dev RAZR HD from Motorola about three weeks ago. As soon as I got it I unlocked the bootloader voiding my warranty, and last night it dropped down to 3g. I can't get 4g for the life of me. I toggled data on and off. I've factory reset. I've flashed the stock image. Removed Sim put Sim back in. I even called Verizon who ran me through all the things that I just mentioned then they told me it was probably hardware related and that I would be screwed since I chose to unlock my bootloader and void my warranty.
My wife's sgs3 is still getting great 4g reception and if I take my Sim out and put it in another phone like my galaxy nexus I get 4g. I am at a loss.
Has anyone else has this issue and do you know a fix if so.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
That's strange. Have you tried getting 4g other places? And i know you said the SIM card is good but maybe putting a new one in? I don't know, if it is hardware, that sucks.
I tried putting my wife's sim card in and that worked I got 4g so I'm hoping its just a bad sim card

Sounds like a provisioning error on the card specific to the Maxx.
It was the sim card.

I just got a used razr hd from swappa and am having the same problem, using the sim that came with my gnex. If I install LTE on/off from play, I can put the phone in LTE only mode and it works just fine, but then no calls, with the same SIM in my gnex and tbolt, they both get LTE without a problem.
Stupid question but did you activate the phone?

wouldn't it not work at all if it wasn't activated? I've used this SIM for over a year with a gnex just fine
I just mean have you gone to the Verizon website and switched your activated phone to the HD.

I don't see any option to change device without an upgrade, but it does still show galaxy nexus.
That's why I think. You need to log in as the account holder. Then under "my verizon" at the top there will be a switch/activate option.

it was the SIM, went by the store and got it swapped to a new one and it went right to LTE

Hi,
Having Razr HD, German O2 Version, but installed Retail ROM (4.1.2; 98.22.16001.XT925.Retail.en.DE; Baseband: VANQUISH_U_BP_100700.250.66.01P). Having phon now for 3 days, never any LTE on Vodafone SIM... I should have coverage where I live, so something seems to be wrong... Anyone here with working LTE with Vofdafone Germany?
Thanks,
DerRider
UPDATE: solved the problem: I have an Ultracard from Vodafone and only the primary card works with LTE. The hotline could have told me this, when I called them Saturday to confirm my SIM is activated for LTE... damn, what a waste of time... Solutions was so simple.
I just got my phone back from mobiletechvideos JTAG service. Since then, my phone struggles to hold WiFi and 3g. It very rarely pulls 4g. I have tried a factory reset. Also restored my IMEI backup just in case. I have an extra micro sim arriving today. I'm just wondering if I could be missing something simple or is my phone royally screwed?

Sounds like your radio.
They probably updated your baseband to MF1, I'd try to use mb1 firmware to see if that fixes your reception problem.

Thanks for the fast response! I flashed the MB1 firmware and still have poor signal. I'm starting to get depressed as this went from the best phone I've ever owned to the worst.

I did take the phone apart and found that the WiFi connection was loose. I corrected that. I started the phone back up and held the Sim card down in the slot while booting and the phone miraculously got 41asu.....for about 5 minutes and now its holding at a steady 2asu. So, would there definitely be something wrong with the Sim card? Or could the Sim port be going as well? Is there a way to test the Sim connectivity in the phone settings?

The lower the asu the better, in contrast to a higher dbm is a better signal.
2 asu is a pretty strong signal, you should be around -80 dbm.
Edit; Nevermind I mixed it up, a higher asu is better. I still think it's radio related though, but changing your sim card is an easy potential fix.

Well....sim card didn't work. Next I'm going to Odin back to pure stock and see if that helps. I'm starting to think it may be something in the NV items or hardware related. Hope I'm wrong though.

Hi David,
Often times when devices become bricked, it results in your NV items being damaged and causes this problem. Here is a guide that highlights this issue, and will tell you how to remedy the situation.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/"
ugh. I really dont want to go messing around with the NV items if that is the case. Im in the process of flashing with ODIN now. I'll update if that works or not.
What is your IEM Showing?
If its been erased, then ODIN to stock firmware probably won;t fix that,
but, have you check your mobile network setting to see if you are on the correct network?
If you are with Verizon it should be set to CDMA, not GSM.

Software is not intermittent. Hardware can be. You may have a broken or loose antenna cable or connector inside the phone.

Hi David,
I'm glad to hear you resolved this issue. This is quite surprising as the S3 is relatively easy to work on internally and we had never had this issue after working on one. I'll take note of this in case it's ever observed in the future. In the mean time, anyone ever having a questions regarding their order, just call us at 657-444-JTAG. Rock on buddy!

I've never seen that happen. Honestly I would just say wait for someone else to give their opinion or just factory reset and try again. I've done this on multiple phones and I've never gotten an error. Maybe someone else has a direct answer to that error.

Droid Maxx Foxfi & battery life
Search is not working for me and didn't see any updates on Foxfi.. Is Foxfi working on the droid maxx yet and it the battery life as good as they say? I just got a samsung note 3 while the phone itself is awesome the signal strength is horrible and battery just okay..after you turn off all the fun stuff. I have a week left and might exchange it for the Droid maxx but wondering if that will be any better. Came from a droid bionic and loved it and had no reception problems like I am with the note 3.
Thanks for any help!
