Thinking about buying a WiFi only Xoom I am Canadian.
If I root it a flash it with a US ROM will there be any issues?
I can not see any problems? Should be the same hardware here or the US WiFi is WiFi. Maybe access the Google Market?
I have done research and there is a easy One Click Root, and US ROMs are at 3.2 but for some unknown reason Motorola Canada Xoom is stuck at 3.0
i did it to mine. i've had no problems with accessing the marketplace. the only problems i've had are with google books, google voice, and google videos. and thats beause we don't get those 'services' in canada
it's all the same hardware. motorola canada hasn't said more than two things about getting 3.1 on our xooms. the last thing they said was it was comming in a 'couple of months'...that was over a couple of months ago
I Just got the Infuse. Put in Sim and booted. Logged into gmail and then went to market. It WAS new. Went back to phone and looked around a bit. Then all of a sudden I could not get online...mkt or browser. Turned out needed new 4g sim and data plan. Did that and fine however, the new market is nowhere to be found now. It was there at first boot now nothing. I looked at version of mkt on rooted infuse froyo 2.2.1 vs. rooted captivate froyo 2.2. It seems that the same version of market is on infuse ...anyone know what happened ? I am trying to figure out how to possibly sign out of gmail then sign in again?? wondering if that will help...HELP.
I had a replacement Xoom sent to me after my last Xoom took a nap and never woke up. Anyway I was downloading an app yesterday and I was using the browser and looking at the Market through the browser. When I clicked to download the app it said that I had a Verizon Xoom.
How can I tell? The Xoom I have doesn't say VZW on it. My Xoom is flashed to Moray so I don't know if there's something.
Mine is from Sprint but it is also mentioned as Verizon Xoom in My market account.
I originally purchased a WiFi only Xoom. Could it be they sent me a VZW one by mistake? Does that mean I can also send it in to get the 4G upgrade when available since I have the VZW Xoom? Do I even have a VZW Xoom? Did you confirm you have a Sprint Xoom?

Mine is wi-fi only xoom
Not possible that you will be given 4g lte upgrade.4g lte upgrade is for Verizon 3g customers ONLY.
Mine bought from Sprint that's why I know it is from it(though on box there is no where sprint name/logo)
It seems anroid market classification is at fault.
Oh ok. I see.
OK just observed that while installing apps through PC android market there are two options Motorola Xoom and Verizon Motorola Xoom(VMX) for selecting device.
If you choose VMX then in your account it will be shown as VMX
Guys first thing is, did you root your Xoom:
If yes then if you also flashed one of the custom roms it uses a build.prop file from a VZW tablet. This is a text file which has information about your Xoom which is picked up by the market. Thus making the market think your have a VZW Xoom. My Xoom read Wifi Xoom prior to flashing any of the Tiamat roms
Now if no then I have no clue since if its stock your build.prop would read your exact model in the marketplace. Xoom Wifi, VZW Xoom etc....
Just as a side note some people were changing there build.prop files to try and trick the market into thinking they had Netflix compatible devices...
Hope that helps

True.
After flashing international version of stock I am getting message that app is compatible with my all devices:
MX
MZ604
VMZ
OOPs I have one only.
non-rooted my touch 4g slide.
The option to direct carrier bill t-mobile is not an option. Is this affecting anyone else's market?
also I upgraded her market to 3.3.12 and tried but still no DC billing. really don't want to do the credit card option.
I have it on my phone (see sig), but mine is rooted and I didn't buy any apps before I rooted.
I've always seen carrier billing as an option, even now I just checked.
I refuse to use it, though - I always use gift cards. The visa-vanilla ones are my preference, they are designed for online purchase and set-up is a snap.
I don't like the idea of using a real credit card, and attaching to my carrier bill is a headache I don't want to deal with.
Just a thought that may help ya out.
I haven't been able to get carrier billing working on mine either, I've tried both with stock non-rooted, rooted stock, and finally with bulletproof 1.0. In all the roms I had tried both old and new design of market. I've heard rumors that clearing data for market and starting the market with wifi off and 3G/4g connection (not 2G). So far that process hasn't worked for me.

Not true about the primary. I can go on any of my 5 lines right now and get direct carrier billing. I just checked on my g/fs phone and my business phone.
I had same prob but I fixed
1. Clear cache in recovery (if not rooted clear market data in system/applications/etc.)
2. reboot
3. start market with wifi connected but mobile network turned on
4. goto paid app checkout and direct carrier billing should appear every time
you might also try changing your settings with t-mobile... Make sure you don't have a block on downloads and what not.
I forgot to ask, what market are you all on? I just tried the stock market that comes on the phone (2.3.4) and the above worked.....so then I updated to 3.3.12 and the above method does not work.....

I downgraded to 2.3.6 still didn't have carrier billing, but was able to force it by editing the billing database with sqleditor. There are a couple fields that need to be changed from false to true. I've been doing that for a year now, but the new market doesn't use those databases anymore.

For a year? I guess you have another phone model? As the doubleshot has only been out for about 5 months....
And now I can't get direct billing on either version of the market.....clearing and rebooting worked once for the old version but now only c.c. comes up, so effin frustrating.
May endup doing like we do for the PS3,(like above) just get a rechargeable visa or something....

That's happy - how'd it come to be?

I honestly can't say. I upgraded her market to 3.3.12 andthen downgraded it like 5 times in a row trying to get it to work.....left it on the stock market (2.3.6).
She went on the internet android market on the phone and it showed up there, so she checked her app and it wws there too, then.
Hi everyone - I have a Verizon S3 that I use without any trouble here in the UK. My network (Three Mobile) will soon be turning on their 4G system, and everyone with a 4G device will be able to use it - including me. The only problem is that in order to use 4G you need an OTA update - whether this update is an actual firmware update or just changes to the APN settings, Three don't seem to want to tell me (or more likely, the Three reps don't know).
This OTA update is only going to be sent to Three branded phones and unbranded phones - meaning my Verizon S3 isn't going to get 4G enabled if I leave it as it is.
What I'm wondering, is if there's a way to load the Verizon S3 4G LTE with a standard Samsung ROM that's totally unbranded. That way I should be able to get Three's update and use 4G.
I'm new to this, and I've never flashed a phone before - all Google seems to bring up is Cyanogenmod, but I think that's a bit more custom than I want - I'm looking for something totally vanilla minus the Verizon junk. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? And has anyone used a flashed Verizon S3 in Europe?
Thanks a bunch,
Noam
Would CleanRom 7 work for this? scottsroms .com/downloads.php?do=file&id=415
I see that it's based on "the latest Verizon released VRBMF1 Jellybean 4.1.2 Base and is De-Odex" - does this mean it will still appear to be a Verizon branded phone? Any ideas?
Thanks again.
