Hello,
I bought a XOOM 3G mz601 in italy from TIM to use between the US and Italy. It is supposedly unlocked (that's what they told me at the store). However, when I put my 3g sim card from AT&T (and also from TIM) in, it shows full bars but no internet connection is available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Alberto
Does anybody know the answer?
Cheers,
Alberto
Alberto,
Did you check if the APNs for AT&T and TIM are correctly configured?
That may be a reason for having strong signal and no data connectivity.
Good luck,
Sandro

Hello everyone. I recently moved to Germany from the US and had my Fuze SIM unlocked. Well today I went to a T-mobile kiosk and the rep told me that I can use the phone for regular phone service with no problems but he didn't think that the US spec Fuze would work on the Internet with their data plan? Does anyone know if this is true? Why would it not work? Does T-mobile in Germany use a different band for Internet that the US Fuze doesn't support? Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands#GSM_frequency_usage_in_Europe
for normal gsm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
for umts (3g)
and of cause if you got a non gsm device like a simcardless cmda phone == nowhere
itll work fine for phone and data up to 2g. if you want 3g check if it can do international bands or just us ones.
Hi all! I leaving In UAE - Fujairah, and I'm planing to buy a Motorola Xoom. Maybe someone with more experience than me, can advice me, if it worth, if it will work on Etisalat 3G network, and finally if those Xoom 3G released by Verizon and sell via E-bay are OK for my location. Thanks in advance !!!

Axiom in UAE is going to be selling the XOOM. Sure they can provide more information they have a direct tie up with Moto,
Cheers.
thanks dude, but as far as I know they will bring only WIFI....
The Verizon Xoom uses CDMA for 3G networks. If I remember correctly, Etisalat is GSM only, so it would not work. I'm not sure about 4G LTE though, but that's not active on the Motorola Xoom yet anyway.
BTW, I was in Fujairah a few weeks ago; my Verizon Xoom worked great on wifi.

ok, but in order to use the WI-FI, I need to be stuck in home or any other place which has a Wireless Network.....anyway, it looks like I have to wait for a while....
Maybe I become insistent, but I don't want to spend almost 1000$ for nothing. Can someone to confirm if this model Motorola XOOM MZ601 will work in my 3G network. I already read the details and also I check the compatibility list on above link, but.....i just want to make sure, maybe someone has the similar model and using in GSM network. Thanks in advance!
Does your network use sim card? If yes, then the Verizon Xoom won't work for you.
Verizon 3G Xoom uses CDMA, it won't work on GSM networks that use sim cards.
Hi guys,
First of all my apologies if I couldn't find this question in the current forums. I'm the proud owner of my imported Motorola XOOM 3G 32GB from USA to The Netherlands, and I started reading a lot in the XOOM section of XDA-Devs (already have a HTC HD2 with Android so already got a lot of Droid experience).
I've already rooted (& unlocked??) my XOOM with 1-Click Root & Unlock, but when I plug in my T-Mobile Netherlands SIM card, the tablet keeps hanging on 'Activating your XOOM..' (or something). Why is it called 1-Click Root & Unlock but it doesn't unlock my XOOM? Is it just for USA cellular?
I've also red a lot about the fact that they use other hardware in the USA for 3G data than in de EU (EV-GE(?) vs HSDPA), is this the reason why I can't use my 3G function in European Union? I don't hope so because when that's true, I purchased about 200 euro more on a 3G function which actually don't work here.
Please let me know if it's possible to use the 3G, or tell me the hard and painfull truth that it's not going to work in EUROPE ?
Any h4cks or something would be great!
Let me know and best wishes from the land of wooden shoes, The Netherlands.
Max.
Pretty sure your trying to activate a Verizon 3G version (cdma) on a uk 3G network (gsm). Not possible...at all...period...

Hello,
I bought a new device, Nexus 5 from China
And I have a problem when I insert SIM regardless of which provider I have no reception (no service),
Tried to set the correct APN settings with the provider but it didn't help.
It works out only when I'm working on 2G when I return to 3G again no reception. (No LTE in my country - Israel) .
I can't find any operator after switching to 3G.
when I switch from 3G back to 2G I still can't find operator only after a restart.
Do you have any data about my problem? and how\were can I get service support in my country? Thank you.

Same problem here...anyone?
Well, depending on your operator, 3G frequenties used maybe not the same as the ones uses in China.
I know that USA LTE(4G) isn't the same as here, in France (If not I would have bought it in USA for 349$, that equals to 255€. And I bought my N5 349€ in the play store)
Try to call your operator and ask them for the frequenties they're using ?

Hey,
I've unlocked HTC 8x from AT&T US. And now I use it in Lithuania, but I get very weak 2G signal. I installed windows 8.1 (developer preview) and did hard reset. But it didn't work. And there is no way to change the connection to 3g or 4g. It's hardware problem or just it has different bands?
By the way, how can I change phone language? There is only Spanish and US English.
Thanks.
