Hi all
I saw in a local shops selling Moto Xoom tablet , the workers and the advertisement saying it is a Wi-Fi only,
I went to the store, I played with it for a bit, the model number MZ600 and it has a SIM Card slot but from the software there is no ( Mobile Network Settings ).
as far as i know if any device have a Wi-Fi only then there is no reason to include a SIM slot in it.
so here are the questions.
1- are all moto-Xoom devices comes with SIM slot and they disable the SIM card internally ?
2- Is there any way to make this SIM slot works ?

1. Yes.
2. No.

1) Yes because the Micro SD Card is also located there.
2) No because there's no 3G modem installed and you will never be able to get the 4G modem install.

hya, I bought a xoom via ebay a few months ago. it came from usa. now i don't know if it's only wifi or supports data connection... can you explain me to understand what do i own?
than: I know it's american, but... is there a way to make a gsm card work on my device?
thanks a lot!
If it says Verizon, it's the CDMA version, if it just says Motorola, it's the WiFi version.
it says motorola, s it should be wifi... is it normal it has the simcard slot?

The slot you see is where a sim card would go if you had the internal hardware for a sim card connection. Also that slot is where your micro sdcard is mounted (if you have one).
Okay but...
Okay, I'm kind of curious about the same thing. My WiFi Xoom has an area for a SIM card and a Micro SD card. However, it's a WiFi Xoom because I bought it as that and it says that on the box, but what's with the SIM card?
I understand there may not be the hardware (Modem) for a 3G data connection, but how can I install one or somehow put one?
Thanks!

You don't have a SIM. As far as adding it I don't think someone has added a modem yet but you can search Google.

Yep, on a Wifi device, the sim card slot is a convenient location to store a spare sim card
Wondering if anyone can help, im using team Eos European 3g rom zoom. now i tried 1 sim card and the 3g works perfectly but when i try my other sim, i enter the pin code on screen , it accepts it, then immediately says "Sim card removed, the mobile network will be unavailable until you restart...." .
The sim card definitely isnt broken because it works in my phone and 3g modem on my pc. I've tried restarting the xoom with Wifi off and no luck.
Thanks

how old is that "other" sim card? Reason I'm asking is that sim cards use different voltages and old cards tend to cause problems in modern devices.
Around here, providers usually swap sims for free if you say that you've got a problem with one, so I'd go for an exchange if your sim is older that maybe two years...

Its actually brand new, got it on the weekend. It works perfectly everywhere else. I think i'll go to the provider anyway today and see if i can try a sim swap.
This really is baffling me now. I went back to the providers store and tried a different one of their sim cards and it doesnt work either. I just cant understand why my xoom can read certain providers sim cards and not others? (Its definitely not network locked). Could it possibly be the type of sim card (as in a 32k vs 64k etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 clone (unlocked of course) with Android 4.1 and an MTK6577 processor. When I put in my sim card it's detected as a T-mobile SIM, but then it goes to NO SERVICE. It, however tells me I have a New voicemail, which I confirmed by placing the SIM card in another phone. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi All
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" Model GT-P3100 I have not used it very much as I mostly use my S3. I bought it from Hong Kong, when it was tested in the shop in HK there was no issue with anything, all worked fine. I have since brought it back to England, mostly used it on wi-fi at home, then recently I decided to get a sim card to put in it to use it out and about.
When I put the sim card in, it comes up with a message box "SIM card added - Restart your device to access the mobile network - Restart" so I click restart and wait for the reload. But it doesn't recognise the sim card and still has "No SIM - Insert SIM card" within the notifications box as ongoing.
Now if I remove the sim card from the device while it is still on, it comes with a message box "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted - Restart"
This sim card I am using has been tested in other phones and it works no problem, it is a pay monthly contract with Orange. I have also tried other SIM cards in this device and have the same response from every one.
So after doing some reading online and on this forum, I rooted the Tab and then used GalaxSim Unlock to unlock the phone, thinking it may be becasue I bought it in Hong Kong, the Tab is now unlocked but still shows the symptoms above.
Is there anything else I can do to get it to recognise the SIM or do I need to unroot it and send it back to Samsung?
Any help is gratefully received.

flash a custom rom ( stable is cm10.1.2) or a customised stock rom.I thinks it will fix your prob
It is not a ROM related problem.
Go to your network operator and have your old sim card replaced with the new one (with the same number if you want). Sometimes, an old sim card just don't work with newer service. G' luck..

Thanks to you both, the sim card is new, only 2 months old. I have just flashed CM10.1.2 and not only does it not recognise the sim card, I also can't do anything as the android keyboard crashes all the time.
I am going to try to reboot with the latest nightly to see if that helps.
I am now running the latest CM 10.2 from 21.8
The SIM is still not recognised and now my PC is not recognising the Tab either.
When I first plugged it in it came up with installing drivers for Google Galaxy Nexus?? Is this normal
Hi this is the same problem I have on mine,I am starting to think it is the card reader that is the problem ? which wont be a easy job to replace for me
Might be hardware problem
use triangle away to wipe binary on downloadmode then install a stock rom and contact service center to repair it under warranty (if your device have warranty)
Just flash a different modem

I recently faced (4G network not working, dual standby not working)
I was using LTE sim card on slot 1, normal 2G sim on solt 2 and both were working perfectly, just before 4 days I noticed that the LTE signal disappeared and even the network name went to (No Service), then I used both 2G sim card with same results, from the SIM management :
1- if 4G/3G slot Card 2 = then Sim 1 is working fine / Sim 2 No Service
2- if 4G/3G slot Card 1 = then Sim 2 is working fine / Sim 1 No Service
i've made factory reset in many ways soft and hard, reinstalled the original rom via SD card then update it to the latest version and still the same resaults,
your support is appreciated :crying:

NOTE: this happened after the latest update to B123
When install original rom & then factory reset & clear all cache etc you still have same issue or is it working again while on original rom.
Would suggest looking at network settings as needs like auto or gsm mode to work with 2g card so perhaps defaults are different in new rom or been changed by something.
Would also try some more sim cards just to rule out sim or network issue.
Worse case is hardware fault :-/

Many thanks for your reply,
actually i tried many 2G as well 4G sim cards , also I've checked all the settings and possibilities, but as you mentioned most probably it is HW issue
Sorry to here that, hopefully you have return/warranty option.
Kind of reason I holding off buying one till price lowers as living in asia I know the failure risk on the chinese brand phones. Huawei not as bad as oppo but in EU, US etc if you buying without good/easy warranty/return it can be major $ loss .
