I have a Galaxy Tab with a TMobile WebConnect plan. When I place its SIM card in the G2X, I lose data connection despite the 4G icon still being on. I am not on contract with the G2X so I should be able to swap SIM cards right?

I just bought a 3G SIM card from AT&T who is not my carrier but I do have an unlocked TyTn. My current carrier doesn't support 3G yet but will do so in the near future.
Is it possible to copy or clone my current SIM card onto the AT&T SIM and get 3G services while roaming on a 3G network? If so, how can it be done? Or is it even possible?
Thanks!
how can i tell if my xoom is 4g or 3g i got it from craigs list and it don't have a verizon logo or any other cell phone company, it has the place for the sim card.
i want to root it but Im not sure what rom to install after work because some roms say that is for the 3g only.
any ideas it doesn't say anywere on the housing.
thanks.
If you are in the US and have a US Xoom without a Verizon logo, chances are it is a Wifi only. They all have that rubbery cover for the micro sdcard and a possible sim card, but the WiFi only version doesn't have the necessary hardware/connections to have a sim working.
So root and mod to your heart's content, and if you want connectivity get a personal hotspot.
On a side note, if it was 3g, it would be 3.2.1... 4g would be 3.2.2
Is it possible to get only 3g on a 3g phone by switching it with a LTE sim card from sprint, and NOT activating it with them (not telling them the switch)?
Hypothetically speaking, if you were to take a 4G LTE SIM card out of a Verizon tablet that has a dedicated tablet data plan and place that card in a Verizon smartphone, would said smartphone be limited to only 4G LTE data, or would it also have access to 3G/2G/1x as well?
Please no guesses or assumptions- just need to know if the data received on the device is based on the sim card or on internal radios for Verizon.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a dual sim Honor 6 that has been imported from China.
I bought the phone for this set up - 4g data card in sim 1 for data only (can get 90 days 6gb for £15.00) and a cheap 3g card in slot 2 for calls and messages at £3.75 a month. total outlay for 4g, calls and messages = £8.75 a month which suits my needs very well.
I got my data card yesterday and registered it with the provider.
This is the problem I have - neither of my sims works well at all in slot 2 for data - speeds of 0.12Mbps on each card at best.
When I have each sim individually in slot 1 without the other card present I get 50Mbps on the 4g data card and 13Mbps on my 3g card.
When I then introduce my 3g card into slot 2 to sit along side the 4g data card that is in slot one the 4g speed drops from 50Mbps down to 4Mbps.
Clearly, what I would like is to get 50Mbps and take texts and calls on my 3g card and I am stumped as to why this is not happening
Has anyone had a similar experience or even not and have the knowledge of how to fix this problem?
I've contacted Honor UK and they politely said that they can't/won't help as it is a Chinese import. My data and telephony providers have no idea and suggest that there is an issue with the phone.
Cheers
Nigel

Second sim slot supports 2g only. That means EDGE network speeds, that translates into a maximum 238kbps theoretically.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm coming to the conclusion after doing some more digging that the 3g card that i have in slot 2 is conflicting with the 4g card in slot 1.
I think what I need to do now is get a 2g only card and test that along side the 4g card.
That's my next problem - do any providers do 2g only cards as nearly all plans these days have some sort of data attached to them.
Can the mobile provider switch off the data part of the 3g card if i can't get hold of a 2g card?

As far as I know, it doesn't matter what kind of sim card do you use. If the sim is in the second slot, phone will automatically use 2g for network data and calls.
If you're hoping for better data speeds on second sim card, it's not possible using this phone.
