As I said I'm really sure APN is correct, I doublecheckt it a couple of times. I'm also sure it is not an APN problem because data IS working, but only with GPRS. Could try a different ROM, but I doubt it will help, I had this issue both with stock Gingerbread and leaked ICS.

Just got my Droid 4 and try to use it with GSM in Germany. I'm on the .212 leak. However, I have no HSPA/UMTS reception. Not even EDGE. Only GPRS works. I tried out everything, set it to WCDMA preferred, tried all the build.prop tweaks, nothing helped. Tried out a different SIM, and I'm sure my...

No, I don't own an xyboard. I asked because I considered to buy one, given it would work under GSM with a foreign SIM. But in the meantime, I chose to buy a Xoom 2.

Most likely, yes. However I didn't read a report so far, this is why I started this thread. I wonder what happens if a foreign SIM card is inserted. Does it ask for an unlock code?

It has GSM/HSPA support, Verizon just activated it by software update. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5822

Dear xyboard owners, now that it is rooted (thanks a bunch, Dan!): I'd like to hear about succesful use with GSM/HSPA and foreign (non-Verizon) SIM card. If someone succesfully did it, please report here. Thanks! PS: I also would appreciate a dedicated xyboard / Xoom 2 section.

There are a lot of possible show stoppers. First, I don't think that this was an official VZW statement. And, even if they will make GSM/HSPA work, it's unclear if and how SIM unlocking will work. Let's see how it will work out with the xyboard tablets ...

He didn't describe the vulnerability. It's not very hard to find out the underlaying idea by just running motofail exploit and see what files had been altered. You need to be _very_ skilled to develop these kind of exploits. But it's funny to see that Guys like Dan will always find a way. Just...

And of course you can use it prepaid with Verizon. I do.

Engadget is referring to phonescoop.com, where it is stated a bit clearer: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=9660 Maybe there is an easy explanation? The SIM card slot is used for LTE, and is currently blocked (by software) for GSM SIM card use, because Verizon has some issues in...

There is something odd with the GSM/UMTS bands. The band 900 is hardly present here in Europe, and for good reason neither D2G nor D3 supported it -- nobody missed it. But the 900/2100 combination is very common for European handsets. I rather think the GSM related specs are mistakingly listed...

Yes, according to a leaked VZW document I saw at Engadget the D4 is definitely not a global phone. Glad to hear you keep your D3. :-)

I think the mount needs a username. Please add "-o username=guest" to your mount command.

I hope the D4 will have no global radio, so I will not be tempted. ;-)
