Do you think if the phone is working at 100%?

The phone should be able to function perfectly on any GSM network outside the US.

Could you have a confirmation from verizon?

The sim slot is unlocked for international use.check the bands available for the radios to make sure it's ok for use on your carrier.lte is probably not compatible on this one.

So do you think it's not compatible in France? You are in USA? Could you ask at VERIZON for me?

The phone itself is plus the gsm bands are. Moto website or check phone arena for exact bands. Lte bands probably won't be.just email Verizon if you don't want to look it up.

Yes it works in Europe
I was in Switzerland last week with a Razer HD and used it with Orange's prepaid service. I was getting a solid 10 mbs download on their HSPDA+ 21 network. The one annoying thing is it asks for the sim unlock code every time you restart the phone.

have a look here, http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-DROID-RAZR-MAXX-HD_id7484
look down the bottom of the page in the Technology section at what bands it supports, and then just look up what bands your carrier in france supports
im in the same boat myself, im either going to get the Razr i or else going to buy one of these from the states, even if i have to put up with fugly logos all over my phone, the battery would definitely be worth it!
the carrier im with here in Ireland works on 2100 MHz band UMTS and the specs on phonearena says it supports that band so it might be ok... im not 100% percent sure either though

did it ask for the code just in Europe or do you mean that is a problem thats there all the time?

I assume the phone is locked. A SIM unlocked code is needed when providers lock their phone and you need to enter a code to make it work with other providers sim card.
If your carrier uses the UTMS 2100MHz band, it should work. My carrier is using the 2100 MHz band also and I am having no problems.
If you do not know what frequency your carrier operates on, just post your carrier and we can help you.
Be aware that if your country has 3G dead spots (not really applicable for me) the phone will not work on the 2G network, if it is also operating on 2100Mhz. So, no 3G, no network.
Also, LTE WILL NOT work.
Finally, check if you need an unlock code

ah i was forgetting all about that sim lock. thanks for the reminder just did a quick search and so far iv only found a site that unlocks the RAZR HD, no MAXX so ill have to wait and find one of those first
also here in Ireland the 3 network is 3G and then they use Vodaphone's network for their 2G. which is the 900 & 1800 frequencies (and the MAXX HD supports those two) so would the phone switch down to those when there isnt an 3G available?

Yes it will.

Hey,
I'm trying to verify if the phone will work globally while still here in the US. I have a few SIM cards that fit in the phone:
- VZW (provided with the phone)
- TMobile
- ATT
- Virgin Mobile Australia
When I put the Australian SIM card in the phone, it starts up OK and doesn't ask for an unlock code (but it does say something to the effect of the SIM is from an unknown carrier) but I can't get any signal and the phone # listed under about phone still shows my VZW phone #. The TMobile and ATT SIMs exhibit the same behavior, so perhaps this is to be expected...
Here's the strange thing, for the TMobile & ATT SIMs I see some Access Point Names listed under the networks option in settings. When I put the Australian SIM in, no APNs are listed. This is particularly odd because my older phone, a Droid Pro, shows an Australian APN when I put the SIM in that phone...
Can anyone else with some foreign SIM try this on the US/Verizon version and see what happens...? Is there any way to verify that the phone will work on foreign networks without leaving the US?
Thanks!
Dan

Currently I am using a Maxx HD in Australia using a local sim and have had no problems. You do NOT need an unlock code. Just insert the sim and you are good to go.

Great -- thanks for the info -- I figured it was VZW blocking the US GSM towers. Just to confirm, you're using the Verizon version, right? (It says Verizon on the bottom of it)

Hi Koala,
As you mentioned you have the HD Maxx version, can you confirm or deny that the 4G part of the phone works on either Telstra, or Optus here in Australia? I'm reading conflicting reports are this.
This site says no to both networks of the non Maxx version (mobicity.com.au/motorola-xt925-razr-hd.html]), yet Telstra is selling it as a 4G phone. Motorala say the HD Maxx "isn't compatible" with Australian 4G networks.
So, I'm thinking that some where, someone is telling porkies...? I hope that makes sense...
Cheers,
Steve

There are 2 models of razr hd:
- DROID RAZR HD (HSPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 and LTE 700)
- RAZR HD (HSPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600)
As you can see there is a diference is in LTE band, therefore DROID RAZR HD LTE will not work in Europe 3G will work but not 4G!! because in Europe there are different bands for LTE.
The easiest way to pick the right one is to look at the color of the box, DROID RAZR HD is in black one and RAZR HD is in red box.

Successful unlock in Canada?

Has anyone successfully unlocked either the RAZR HD or RAZR Max HD for use in Canada? If so which carrier are you using it on, and can you connect to LTE with it?
Thanks in advance

I have the rogers RAZR HD. I am using it with Fido ( even though Fido is about to release it) I bought an unlock code for it but I ended up not needing it. As soon as I popped in my Fido lte sim the phone changed over to a Fido phone. Late works great
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

I was debating buying the HD LTE from rogers and doing exactly what you are. I'm currently using a Samsung captivate locked to rogers but it works with my fido sim card like you mentioned above.
The maxx HD is what I am aiming for because of the battery. I know I can unlock it, Motorola confirmed it. The phone itself will work with my fido sim once unlocked, I'm just curious if the LTE will work as well. Motorola could only confirm the HSDPA will work with fido, and are unsure about LTE. They also could not confirm how an ota update would be pushed to my device. Normally they are carrier driven, but because I would be using it with fido and fido wouldn't push an ota, would I always be stuck with ICS? The only other option is to have Motorola update the phone to jb then send it to me. Or I could root and flash a ROM, but would prefer not to go that route unless I have to.

But yours is a rogers phone, the maxx HD is a Verizon (american phone) so I'm not sure if everything will work
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

The Verizon version is not locked. It won't roam to ATT/TMobile in the US, but it is not locked and does not require an unlock PIN, nor does it prompt for a PIN when you insert a foreign SIM card. You just need to switch the mode over to GSM (under network settings) for it to work properly (not sure LTE will work, it probably won't [different signal bands])
It is difficult to test to see if it will work because the firmware on the VZ version won't connect to ATT/TMobile towers, but there are some threads on here where people have driven near/into Mexico and popped in a Mexican SIM and been OK. Of course, there are some threads about people having problems in India ... so the word is still out I guess.

I'm using my unlocked Rogers XT925 on Bell, with full LTE access.

Thanks for the information guys!

Verizon's LTE band is not the same as Roger's/Fido. Rogers uses B4 and B17, I believe. Verizon uses B13. XT926 ONLY supports B13 LTE.
XT926: (verizon)
Secondary Cellular Networks: CDMA800 (BC0), CDMA1900 (BC14), LTE700 (B13)
Secondary Cellular Data Links: cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A, LTE

How is it working with Bell? I'm trying to use my xt925 with Bell and I can barely get a bar. I take the same SIM and stick it another phone, full bars. I stick a Telus SIM in my RAZR, full bars. There's just something going on with my RAZR and the Bell network...

I've had 3 of the XT925 so far, all on Bell, all had normal LTE speeds and connections.

Could you think of why my Razr would have difficulty connecting only to the Bell network? I'm in downtown Halifax and as I said every combination of Bell SIM in other phones and other carrier SIMS in my RAZR work except the Bell SIM in the RAZR. It's just incredibly frustrating that this isn't working. Bell support has also been useless with them refusing to help because it's not a Bell phone at first, followed by them just being puzzled why I'm not getting service. Would something like flashing a modem fix this? Any help is appreciated.

AT&T HTC ONE X speeds on TMobile

Happy new year everyone! I'm a GSM newb so please dont flame me on what it might seem obvious to most people in this forum. Having said that, can anyone comment on their AT&T HOX data speeds on T-mobile? I'm planning to (leave Sprint and) buy a used AT&T One X and use it on Tmobile $30 data plan. Lucky for me I live in NY Tmobile 1900 area.

Same plan but in San Diego. Speeds can be just as fast as a T-Mobile branded phone but in my area It's much more inconsistent than a T-Mobile phones data connection. As long as you are ok with 2g and maybe some faster speeds it will be fine. I went from maxing out my 5 gigs of 4g to using about 1 gig a month now. Maybe NYC is better, maybe airportal.de gives you a better idea.

I think ATT One X has the same Modem Chipset as ATT GS3. People seems to be successful to get AWS band activated on their ATT GS3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36357180

Oh snap, I use TMobile and would be epic to get some 3G action, Edge has been killing me lol. Phone jumps to HSPA+ or 3G once in a blue moon.

Do we really need an HTC One S NV backup? I mean, we can use QXDM and go into the NV Browser and change the correct setting. Easier said than done, but I read about someone using QXDM to enable their AWS band on his Galaxy S3.

I'm aware they don't have 4G. In my area they'll be having it by mid year or end of year at the most.
Last few days I'm stuck on E

The re farming just isn't as good as a true T-Mobile phone at this point I've compared them side by side in my area. Luckily when I'm running around town 2g is all I need to get simple notifications and such.
I save a huge amount of battery by sticking to GSM only when I don't need anything data intensive.

[Q] Anyone using a Canadian Razr HD on T-Mobile USA's LTE network?

Hey,
I have a Fido Razr HD, which afaik supports LTE on bands B4 (AWS 1700/2100MHz) and B17 (700MHz).
T-Mobile are deploying LTE on AWS, right? So in theory the RHD should be able to work without any problems - but has anyone actually tried this out?
I have a T-Mobile SIM on the way, so may have to be a guinea pig for this :silly:

Hey,
Apologies for the late response. The battery life on LTE is definitely shorter than on 3G only. I was in NYC last week, and was pretty much getting full bars of LTE signal constantly... was just about making it through the day.
The phone does indeed get full HSPA+ in areas where LTE is not available (although it frequently drops back to Edge due to T-Mo's crappy network ). On 3G+ only, the phone easily makes it through the day (usually have 20-30% at the end of the day, after ~2hrs screen time).
I am annoyed that this device hasn't seen any upgrades since January (4.1.2) though... crossing fingers and toes for 4.4, but perhaps in vain

Verizon's LTE is a different radio band, the 925 won't work on VZW LTE without some serious hardware hackery.

I have an unlocked Motorola xt925 and from the first day that I connected it to T- Mobile US regretted this choice. The problem was off course the 4G Lte. I didn' t want to pay their 70$ plan to have unlimited 4G because they don' t really have a 4G coverage so can' t provide this service. More than that my problem was for long time in getting a 4G speed in the phone. Fixed only after 4 or 5 th call.
Why I am posting this ???. Let's say that I was so pissed off on that problem that I rooted and unlocked the phone bootloader, installed almost all androids that are for this phone , tried everything that could find on the forums.
And now I have always, not really, a 4G connection in my phone. Without hack or illegal stuff.
I tried this in every android and it worked.
In this moment I have a 50 $ plan so only 500 mb on 4G, rest of them being or is supose to be only 2G.
Trick: in jelly beam and now in CyanogenMod 11 there is A way to select your Preferred network type. 2G, 3G, 4G.
If you know you are in a 4G area but you don' t have this speed try to select 2G, wait about 30 seconds, in jelly beam till connection is changing in blue and after that go back and select 4G network.
In some ROM there isn't 4 G selection. So I was dialling *#*#4636#*#* and select there Lte/ Gsm connection. After the phone is showing 4G or Lte check the internet speed.
If someone need the prove can provide some screenshots
Now. The problem is that I have to do that everytime when I am loosing the signal. So if the modem will make a 2G connection and after that 4G it will be OK. But it is not like this. Phone is jumping to 4G and the speed is only 0.13 Mb.
OK. I know I am not paying to have more but their service is not as it is show.
So. I would like to know if someone else can do that. Select 2G wait a little bit and select 4G and wait to have the connection. Usually in 2 minutes it is OK.
2. Can someone give an idea how to make the phone to make a 2 G connection and after that the 4 G.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, thank you for being a guinea pig So, LTE works, but how is the battery life? Does the phone easily pull through the whole day? Also, when LTE is not available does it work on T-mo's 3G/4G network? Thanks!

Are you really getting LTE and 4g on this phone by just unlocking it and putting a t-mobile sim card init, if lte and 4g is in the area???

Hey guys for those that will interest, by searching around I find out about this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCK-CODE...25293983?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#viTabs
They are the cheapest I have encountered so far. there is a thread at the atrix hd forums that many have tried them and it works

[Q] No HSDPA 900mhz on Evita

Hi everyone!
I just buy a HTC One XL (Gray model) 16gb. The specs says this phone supports HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 but my carrier (DIGITEL Venezuela) is 900 and the phone only works in 2G.
Another important issue (i think) is when i go to the testing area (*#*#4636#*#*), in phone information, when i go to the menu and select select radio band there is only 2 options, automatic and USA Bands. (probabilly i need JAPAN Bands o Europe Bands)

Any have this problem? A radio update can solve my problem (i use ATT, Telstra and Vodafone Radios,but without luck)?
I search the forum, but i cannot find any thread with this same issue.

Did you happen to buy the at&t version? If so, that might be why, because the at&t version only supports 850/1900/2100 for HSDPA. You can see the differences in their spec sheets.
HTC One XL
AT&T One X
If you didn't buy the at&t variant, it might just be a case of having the wrong APN settings entered in the device.

It isn't the at&t model, those have the at&t logo above the display instead of the HTC logo. I'd triple check your APN settings, call your carrier and make sure they're correct, and make sure they do use the right frequency.

I've checked APN settings. That not the problem. Before this phone, I use a Optimus 2x (works in 900 edge/hdspa) and took the APN settings from here.
I'm pretty sure is a radio issue.

I don't think the radio is the problem, the radio just makes use of the hardware, regardless of the carrier. For example, I can use an at&t radio and get great LTE speeds even though at&t use entirely different frequencies than my carrier.

Well... if you see my first post, I can't have a option to select a radio different than USA Band, and my phone suppose is the international version.
if not a radio problem, is a hardware problem?
I test with another carrier (movistar 850mhz) and works in 2g and 3g

That's normal, see my screenshot, I have the same options.
The difference being that the frequencies aren't listed for you. Have you contacted your carrier yet?
Sent from my Evita

Yes, i spoke with a support guy and he give me the same APN and the bands supported by the carrier (900 GSM/UTMS and 1800 LTE)
I feel stuck now...

I personally think it's an issue at your carrier's end.

It's a issue in this particular phone? Could be a problem with the range of the band?
I have my old phone (LG Optimus 2x) and works in this band with this same carrier with the same simcard.

I really don't know then, short of the phone actually being the at&t model but having a retro-fitted standard case I'm out of ideas.
