Hey guys, I am going to try the 200mb data plan mainly because I am usually around wifi all day. Is the wifi signal dependable? Will I need to type in a password every time? If so, will it still work seamlessly under a more secure wifi connection (University of Michigan's wifi network)? Thanks

I feel the wifi signal is very dependable. i use it at work and home.
For seamless connection WITHOUT having wifi on when it doesnt need to be (i.e. Commuting) I use the app autowifi enabler. It turns on your wifi based on gps location. Wifi then connects to your predetermined access points all seamlessly.
If your schedule is concrete, you can use apps like timerriffic or tasker to do this on a schedule.

I spend a lot of time connected to wifi. As long as the AP is good, your wifi connection is good.
What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
Hi,
I would like to monitor my baby with a fixed Android phone at the cot, and a mobile Android phone with my wife or myself. Initially we were just thinking of initiating a Skype video call, but after some googling, I discovered that I could set up a phone as an IP cam with an app like IP Webcam, and then connect to it with other devices with an app like tinyCam Monitor. However, after testing it over a 3G connection, I realize I can't connect to the IP cam as it has a 10.* local IP address. I could use WiFi, but my home AP doesn't have sufficient coverage.
Are there any solutions that can stream over 3G? Or would Skype be the best solution in this case? What are the typical bandwidth requirements for video anyway?
Thanks!

I have a Bluetooth tether enabled Android phone and Android Tablet.
Does anyone know what app (widget) can specifically connect the tablet to the Phone's bluetooth tether? one click?
without going into the settings?
Try WiFi Manager. There are different set of widgets. You can ask google too.
Took a look at Wifi Manager on the play store, the description does not mention anything about Bluetooth.
The Search continues
Doesn't the device connect automagically when you switch bt on? I only have to pair my devices once and the connect upon turning bt on.
No, Bluetooth tethering doesn't automatically connect.
It wouldn't make sense to.
What if WiFi is already connected?
What if your bt headphone is always supposed to be connected but you don't always need Bluetooth tethering?
In any case, I solved the problem by using Tasker annd secure settings.
It will automatically connect to the cell phone's bluetooth tether when I launch the web browser or youtube or gmail if wifi is not connected.
Gotta love android. You can make your own solutions!
