Hi is it possible to activate (sign in google) over wifi? instead of using data plan ?
Nope. The stickied thread called "How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan" is full of lies
Actually you can
I just did it but u have to have the Magic rom to be able to do it
Is pretty cool that way since it lets you turn wifi on then sign in

You can, just look for the "How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan" thread. You should really google any question before you ask until you are completely clueless how to do it.
so ive had my phone since december when it came out and just recently i factory reset my device and it will not connect to 3g or 2g at all. I havent had any problems with my phone until now and i was wondering if anyone knows if there are any solutions. Im running 2.3.4 and im on t-mobile and i have always had great 3g coverage wherever i go so i know that that isnt the issue so if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.
(edit) I just tried other sim cards and they wont pick up on 3g or 2g networks either. im at a loss on what to do.
You could flash a stock rom a 2.3.3 from tomorrow manager.

Input apn settings manually?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I had the same problem with my dutch provider free nexus s. You have to set the APN manually. On the T-Mobile website they should have the settings. I had a problem though cause in Holland the nexus s settings were not on t-mobiles website so I had to use the galaxy s settings but the apn type I had to set it to default instead of internet..bang!! May there be 3g

If you used widgetsoid or any other widget or program to toggle 2G/3G or Mobile Data on and off that could be the culprit as it some have the ability to rename the apn. I had this happen about a week after updating a phone to cm7 from 2.3.2. I had to reinstall widgetsoid and change the mobile data toggle to the root option. Then I made a widget to toggle data on and off and did that from the widget to fix the issue. It can uninstalled with no issues once done if this is your problem.
Any way to do this? I've only got SMS and mms working using mod but wanted to make calls using my simcard in the xoom
Look into groove IP and Google voice....
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
Glock stole my thunder. Groove IP and Google Voice works like a charm.
What about just actually making calls using my sim card without data on the mobile network itself
i would like to know this as well
I had it working from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21812012 the patch here...tho it kinda made the system unstable ...when id open phone (the dial pad? It would always force close....also the speakers & mic arent active so may be you could try ur luck with a bluetooth headset !

Do you mean calling off wifi as opposed to using a 3g or 4g network? If so, then yes you can with groove ip. I have the mz602 without mobile data enabled, and am able to call people off my google contacts with my tablet. To disable mobile data I believe you just swap your tablet to airplane mode. I havent been able to recieve calls but, from what I understand, that is just a matter of changing the settings and enabling google chat.... it is somewhere in the forums, another thing in my list of things to do
Hope this helps

Can my motorola xoom wifi work with my sim card because i wanna make phone calls with it and also receive sms and mms on, as my mobile phone
Hi Guys,
I wonder , if there is some way to cheat my mobile network provider, who block my htc one x , when I want to use it as a modem or wifi hotspot .
When I open my web browser on my laptop I can see
"Are you using your phone as a modem or personal hotspot?
Reference SIM002
Connecting your phone to other devices to use it as a modem so they can access the internet (also called "tethering") is not what your plan was designed for.
If you're on a Pay Monthly plan other than The One Plan and you want to tether, you'll need to buy an Add-on. You'll then get a tethering allowance. Unfortunately our Pay As You Go tariffs and some of our older Pay Monthly plans aren't compatible with tethering Add-ons.
To find out what Add-ons you can get on your plan, and to buy an Add-on, visit your My3 account on your phone or computer and select Buy Add-ons.
If you're having problems accessing the internet on your phone after you've seen a warning message about tethering you just need to turn your phone off and back on again. You'll need to buy an Add-on if you want to keep tethering.
If you're looking for an internet connection, our Mobile Broadband offers great value for using the internet on devices like tablets and laptops. Find out more about our Mobile Broadband at three.co.uk/mbb."
However Skype and FB messenger work fine.
I'll be grateful for any help

Subscribed! Had a WiFi tether app which I used to use on the Note 3 on Three UK but now got a new phone Nexus 6P and can't tether using that app on three as it uses my allowed "tether allowance" of only 4gb/month on an unlimited plan
I want to tether to my Nexus 7 tablet without rooting the 6P.

This is a method to make FoxFi fully functional, and to verify that you are not being charged by your carrier. Steps will need to be adjusted based on your carrier and their native tether bloatware, and may depend on your phone. This is based on a 'rizon Slll.
Enable FoxFi:
1. Open FoxFi Key app.
2. Enter Mobile Hotspot from the window shade, as it should show up there automatically.
3. Set up WPA2 encryption.
3. Enable connecting device: You will need to enter the MAC address and name of your connecting computer. You can name it whatever you want; in OS X, the MAC address can be found in WiFi > Network Preferences > Advanced > Hardware.
4. Connect to FoxFi on your computer.
DONE!
Verify that your carrier is not charging you:
1. Enter Mobile Hotspot.
2. Toggle it off.
3. Toggle it on.
4. If you are not being charged, your phone will say that it is checking for service, then a message will appear that you must call your carrier to enable service.
5. Close Mobile Hotspot and FoxFi, as you will no longer be able to use FoxFi after the service check has been completed through Mobile Hotspot.
6. Reopen FoxFi

I thought Verizon didn't charge for tethering anyway. Unless some people that still have unlimited data get charged for tethering?
From what I'm aware, Verizon still charges a monthly fee for tethering. I could be wrong, though.

Tethering is free on Verizon LTE phones. Of coure it will use data from your data plan. Look at Settings->Wireless and network->More Settings->Mobile Hotspot.
You can thank Google's "Open Access" provision when the C Block was being auctioned off.

I thought the ruling in that tethering case was they couldn't charge customers that are on the new share everything plan and thru couldn't block tethering apps.

It was explained to me that "grandfathered unlimited accounts" could be charged the $30 tethering mobile hotspot fee. All new shared plans cannot be charged per court decision.

hotspot
so for those of us on the unlimited plan, is there a way to disable the " verizon hotspot" from kicking in every time we try to use a 3rd party hotspot provider?
i am running jellybean 4.1.1 and just rooted my phone today and installed titanium pro. yet i can't seem to find anything in there to disable the verizon hotspot from being the primary hotspot app.
any help would be MOST appreciated!:fingers-crossed:
Correct. I still have an unlimited plan from VZ and would be charged for WiFi Hot spot unless i am rooted or can get my FoxFi work around going. Will try this later and hope it works.

There are tons of different roms that have the hotspot baked into it, I used Beans Build 7, But also if you look in the theme and apps section TrevE wifi tether mod works with 4.1.1.:good:

Sorry for asking, but I'm not seeing where to put in the MAC ID? How are you getting to this field?

Did all that and it worked. (kind of, I think)
Then closed FoxFi again.
Reopened FoxFi and the VZ Mobile Hotspot still continues to pop up. When the toggle is "ON", i can connect with my laptop. When I toggle it "OFF" so VZ Hotspot closes, and only FoxFi is open, the connection quits.
When I just open FoxFi and I can get a connection, the VZ Hotspot does not mention anything about a subscription (it only does when you toggle it off/on). Does this mean I am not being charged for it?
Unlimited data accounts are unlimited data for ONE device. A laptop or tablet constitutes another device using the data so there still allowed to charge a tethering fee

Not to be glib, but am I missing something here? I've been using FoxFi for over a year and a half and have never had any extra charges from VW. Install the app, set up a password, turn it on, good to go. No extra steps at all.
Foxfi did not work with my Gnex that was running android 4.1.1, but my S3 that I just picked up about a week ago is working fine. I am using it now to post this comment. In the description of the app it says will not work on "most" phone with Android 4.1. I am also on the unlimited plan and don't plan on giving it up lol.
