Sorry, misspelled GSM and it won't let me edit it.
It's okay.I still gave you kudos. You can actually report it to the moderator. He or she will change it for you. Just in the report say "I want the GMS to change to GSM''. They'll go back & fix it. You have up to 60 minutes to edit a post assuming you don't log out.

Is Droid Mini a global ready phone?

I'm planning a trip to Canada. I'm receiving conflicting information from Verizon on whether my Droid Mini is global ready or not. The International Trip Planner tells me You can use the DROID Mini 4G LTE Black to voice, text and data in all selected countries. Wireless Coverage in Canada and Mexico will be improved using a Global-Ready device. If you're upgrading, we recommend 4G LTE Global-Ready device. When I log in to My Verizon and navigate to My Global Device & Services, I am not able to select any global service for my Droid Mini, and I see the message This phone is designed to run on the network technology available in the US and more than 25 other countries (primarily in North America, the Carribean and some Asian countries). It's not designed to roam in the majority of international countries. The paperwork and manuals that I received with my Droid Mini indicate that the Droid Mini is a global ready phone that can be used in more than 200 countries.
So, is the Droid Mini a global ready phone, and will I be able to roam on GSM networks in Canada with 3G data service, rather than 2G?

mrmike123,
A trip to Canada sounds very fun! No worries with your phone - Canada uses the same technology we use here in the USA, which is called CDMA, and your phone absolutely supports it. In addition to that, many other countries support a technology called GSM, and your phone is able to connect to that as well. If you refer to the specs listed for your phone you will see both CDMA and GSM band frequencies listed under the Network section. Canada has started utilizing some GSM technology, and that may be where the confusion is coming in to play, but either way your phone will be able to be used while traveling.
Your line may need to have a free feature called International Dialing added to it before your trip so you can use your phone outside of the country. Please give us a call at 1-800-922-0204 and we'll make sure you've got it!

Two Droid 2 Global phones - Flaky since software update

I have two Droid 2 Global phones which were purchased at the same time. Ever since the last software update, which I believe was the Gingerbread update, these phones have been acting flaky in several ways with various features just shutting down and only a restart of the phone able to make them work again. Both phones have been having the exact same problems so that leads me to believe it is likely software related.
1) It quits ringing...even with ringing volume turned all the way up, incoming calls just don't ring. Same with text messages. Restarting phone fixes the problem.
2) The camera will take a picture, but when you go to look at it in the gallery, it is just a blank image. Unless you go look at the gallery, you have no way of knowing the picture didn't take. Once again, restarting the phone fixes this.
3) I have similar issues with the bluetooth. I sync it up to my car stereo, but sometimes it just won't sync until I restart the phone.
With the age of these phones, I suspect there are no more software updates on the way from Verizon. Can anyone confirm that? Unfortunately, the last software update also prevented <Deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.> Any suggestions on how to get these phones some sort of software update or useful again? A phone that doesn't ring isn't much use.

Hi jksoft,
I know how troubling these difficulties can be especially when it's happening to two lines of service. I extensively researched this trouble in our database as well as Motorola's and was unable to find this as any known trouble. The gingerbread update was the last release for the Droid 2 and no expected changes as of now.
Are you using the ringtones and notifications that are preloaded in the phone or the ones you have obtained elsewhere? If you haven't tried it yet, please use a notification tone and ringtone that is from the device itself. Let me know if this makes the device work correctly.
The trouble with camera and bluetooth don't have troubleshooting steps other than doing a hard reset of the device. This will completely wipe out the device but items like contacts and media can be backed up. To complete the reset go to http://bit.ly/rqKDhh and follow the steps for the preferred method. Please keep us posted as we may need to file an investigation with Motorola to review this.
Thank you,

Should there be concern about the EOL of most of the droid phones?

for a while ive been researching heavily about droid phones due to verizon wireless taking over my centennial wireless in my town.
ive been extremely excited and though i have to wait till may of 2011, i was hoping to get a droid x which is the best for my current lifestyle.
well i was looking up if there were going to be any new phones coming out between now and may and i came across this article that i have the link to below. it talks about the EOL of the droid phones and alot of them including the X and incredible will stop being sold if i read it correctly.
so what is up with this? will i be out of luck come may when i wont be able to buy the X i want or is this good news about better phones that will come out and maybe they will come out with a phone that is the same size and operating system layout as the X? why would verizon do this?

so does this mean that when i finally switch over to verizon in may, the X will not be sold but the new phones will be?
any idea if they will finally get the bugs worked out in the new devices? like did they get things right with the droid 2 global and the pro that just came out?
and in the case that i get to switch over sooner than may, should i hold off till the new phones or get one of the phones that are available at the momment?
I think there will always be some bug that some find annoying. As for my Inc. I have had it since the day it rolled out and with all that you see in the forum, I have never had any of those issues. Remember, subs come here for issues. But there are 90+ million subs out there, so for the majority, all is well.
As for the X, you may very well find a 3rd party or an affiliate store in May that still has the phone you want.
I thought the Global Droid comes out next week. As for holding out for something else or get one that is available at that moment...... that is a decision you have to make. These devices are constantly evolving. By may there could very well be an LTE Droid out there.... That really throws a wrinkle in the decision process!!

Is the refurbished droid 2 a global droid 2?

Is the refurbished droid 2 a global version? CAn I specify that I want a refurbished global version?

Depends a bit. If you are talking insurance, if they are out of stock of the phone you have they might replace it with an upgrade. I've heard of a number of people who've had their D1 replaced with a D2, so it is possible, but not likely

DROID GLOBAL PHONE ?

hello all you droid experts. i went to the lake and caught some fish this weekend. i took some short videos with my phone. now when i try to email the video or "Share" the video, it says that the file is too big. it doesn't ask me if i want to shrink the file so i can send it so......can i shrink the file and send it in an email? thanks in advance.

Thanks Ann154 for that feedback and suggestion!
Deerhunter1, I can understand how frustrating that is. I just recently experienced that exact same issue! It was because the video file was too large for me to send either by MMS (picture/video message), or by email. You may be able to send to another device via Bluetooth, giving your device gives you that option. You can also hard wire sync the file to your computer using your USB cable. The subject line says your device is a droid global phone. Below I am including a link for transferring picture & video files from a Droid 2 Global phone to a computer. The link will actually be for transferring music files, however, the concept is the same.

Let me know how this works!

Multiple exchanges on the Droid 2 Global

Has anyone else been having bad luck with the Droid 2 Global? My gf's sister is on her 4th one, each phone she gets turns out to be one major issue. One three of them has been a dead spot on the screen, and on another it was a charging issue. Its been almost a year now being with Verizon and having to exchange a phone 4 times is getting a little annoying. Just want to know if anyone else has been going through this?

I am on my 5th phone in a year and my 6th one should be on its way! I hate droids and def don't suggest that anyone get the Droid 2 Global! Neither of the keyboards work and it keeps shutting on and off!
They haven't done anything to help me out, they just keep sending me the same phone and the same issues keep happening, what they don't understand is that its annoying having to call them every 2 months and them doing the same thing over and over again. Always a reset and then they send me a new one! I am so tired of Verizon, I kinda wished i would have never left AT&T!!!!!!

The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message

Dear AppleCare，
As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.

I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

Yes, the iPhone 5S is a global phone. However, Sprint will only unlock phones for use on GSM networks outside of the U.S. In the U.S., that phone can only be used on Sprint's network.

Can the droid be used as "just" a phone? ... you know what I mean.

I just need a phone and do not need the "smart" capabilities. Can I use the droid I have without paying for the internet and such?

Unfortunately, no. All the smartphones are automatically linked with a data plan. If you have an unlimited plan, and have had it before the cut off date, you're grandfathered in. If not, you must select one of the three or four data plans available. As far as the internet goes, you are not obliged to use it. Plus, it doesn't cost anything to have the apps on your phone.

HT1349 Why doesn't Iphone have a call blocker, I am getting tired of paying for phone scam calls, why dpesn't someone make one. When my contract is up I am going back to the Droid.

For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs. That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.
