Hey,
I'm on a T-Mobile HTC Desire Plan. Included with it I have 3GB of internet which I hope soon will replace my actual fixed internet connection.
Instead of tethering all the time, is it possible to clone my simcard buy a USB modem and put it in there?
If so, how would I go about doing it? And I assume I wouldn't be able to use data on the phone when the PC is on?
sure

most usb modems would be sim locked though

Hi,
Possible to use a sim card from a 3g modem in a 3g phone? and then to use voip over it?
Anyone out there doing something like this?
Phone plans here only offer 300mb
3g internet offers 5gig for less $$ then the 300mb for a phone
Cheers!
I dont have any input other than i have wondered the same thing myself. I even wondered about cloning the SIM and using the HTC tytn II mounted in my car a secondary device that has the same number, but i guess that cant be done.
I used the sim from a 3 usb utms modem in my pda without any problems
Will Unlocking and Flashing the T-Mobile Maple cause AT&T to know what kind of phone I have?
I need to know soon. Anyone with an unlocked and flashed Maple that doesn't get charged with a PDA plan? or does it sound like it'll work?
Your provider shouldn't care what phone you use as long as the SIM card
will work in it and connect to their network.
You will get your standard phone charges and data charges (if you use internet/SMS)
Don't know what a PDA plan is?
Hi all,
I'm kinda in a stage of researching the motorola xoom and almost deciding to get one for myself, but i have a few questions that may help me take my decision firmly.
i'm looking for the motorola xoom with Wi-Fi AND 3G
i was browsing some of the reviews and lots of people are talking about this side tray that encapsulates both the SIM card and the microSD.
for now i know the SD is not supported, but will be, which is ok for me, given that the internal storage is sufficient.
but for the SIM card, one of the reviewers on PhoneArena.com said: "there is an opening for the SIM card slot once it has the 4G LT modem installed, so u can put in your SIM card, but right now its just a place holder, u will have to go to one of Verizon stores once its available to have them install the 4G LT modem"
so does this mean that the current model in the market doesn't support 3G at all! i mean putting in the SIM card will be useless until in install this modem, or is it the case that this modem will ONLY be used for 4G connectivity? and any SIM card will work normally, making phone calls, connecting to internet over 3G network?
I live in the middle east, in Saudi Arabia, and i've seen the motorola xoom in the stores here, but i actually forgot to ask if it is Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi + 3G. I guess i will also have to ask about the support to provide this 4G LT modem once its available.
the second question is about the USB port, i've seen on the forum that there is a hack for Honeycomb that will allow using this port as a host, in other words u can connect you flash drive, or USB HDD (of any size) to the Xoom and be able to browse the files and copy in and out. is that correct?
and the last question is what the applications originally come shipped with it?
Your help is much appreciated
If you get the 3G model, it will have 3G on it once you buy it. The modem update is only to take it from 3G to 4G capability. But if you purchase the 3G model, it will have 3G already. And you mention using it as a phone.. the 3G doesn't mean that it will be useful as a phone (not stock at least). It is meant for data. So you can surf the web, etc, if you sign up for a cellular data plan.
Yes, the usb connection can be used for 'USB OTG Host Mode'. Do some searching around and it will explain your options. You need a specific cable for it though.
3g works on the 3g+wifi version.
External SD card works also, if you root and install a custom kernel.
Yes, there is a hack for host mode, that allows cameras and thumb drives to connect. But you will need a micro USB host cable. But if you only want to connect your PC to the Xoom and access internal storage, this works out of the box - stock.
There's a lot of apps loaded from the factory. I'm rooted and deleted a few and added a lot from the Market, so I can't tell you exactly. Maybe someone else can chime in?

I think this forum (One X AT&T) is what you were seeking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1572
Also this one for (One X+ AT&T *better than the International one*) http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1816
You are currently asking this question in HTC One X (Tegra3/International) forum.
Regardless of which phone you are interested in, you can always use your phone without a SIM card (in Android).
However, I won't recommend you to buy the Int. version; you will almost get no support from AT&T, and they will try to make it an excuse and sneak their way out from helping you. Beside that, you won't have an access to 3G network on AT&T (you will be left with only 2G, in other news that would be dropped in 2017).
I am on AT&T and when I log in to my account, it shows the device my SIM card is plugged into.
Is if there is a way to spoof the device AT&T thinks my SIM is connected to?
I'd like to stick a SIM into an Android smartphone, but let AT&T think that I'm on a Nexus 7 or some kind of tablet. That way, I'd only pay data at $30 a month for 3GB and use a VOIP app for calling. In theory, I can make this work with a LTE version of the Nexus 7, but I don't want to carry around that giant thing as if it was a regular phone.
Also, would the phone automatically always try to establish a "phone connection" even if I just have data? I notice there is no way to toggle off the phone part of the device without turning on airplane mode. Perhaps messing with the API or something?

No ! .. You can't .. The provider detects your devices mostly from your IMEI/UUID number Which you CANNOT spoof ..
