The Wifi Tether for root users creates an Ad-Hoc network. Android devices (your tablet) cannot connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
The built in wifi tethering (when the hardware supports it) creates an infrastructure network - which any android device can connect to.

Which one is better?

Hi guys.
I'm from Germany.
I want to know which xoom is the best.
The most important thing is the support. (Updates)
Are there difference or is the support the same (xoom 1,2,media)
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

The Xoom 2 is an awful successor to the Xoom.
The Xoom Media is also not worth getting due to its lackluster support/development and the fact that it is not a GED.
If you are considering a Xoom, get the original Xoom.

And are there differece between the 3g and the wifi version

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are basically 3 versions of the original Xoom:
MZ604 - wingray - wifi only
MZ600 - stingray - Verizon version
MZ601 and MZ603 - everest - gsm version
Now here is the tricky part. The stingray started out as a EVDO Verizon tablet, but then was upgradable to LTE by sending it in. If I understand correctly, all of the custom roms for stingray are for the LTE upgraded version. It is now TOO LATE to send them in for the upgrade. If you buy a stingray that wasn't upgraded, you are screwed. Personally I would stay away from the ones that weren't upgraded. Also keep in mind the everest seems to have a little less developer support than the wingray and stingray. You can't go wrong with the wingray.

Okay. Thx. Correct me when i'm wrong. The wingray Version is the wifi only .am i right?

Correct. That is the one I have.

I've got the so called european xoom (mz601), but what i think is that it's not european, it's international. Thats because it works in almost every country on earth (it is a standard gsm bands). For example it works on AT&T in america (i've not tested this, but google says that it does work).
I myself have used my Xoom in most of europe, in russia and middle east. It's just great. The only thing i don't like about the mz601 is the lack of development (it only has 2 custom roms: Team EOS and Codename Android). But the fact that you can travel the world and use a 3g connection almost everywhere is very nice. You cant do that with the verizon Xoom. The wingray is of course very good (it's a Google Experience Device) but i myself need the 3g.
Even if i lived in the states i still would not get the stingray version. I would rather get the umts_everest and have the option to use other service providers than verizon or wingray if i really did not need the 3g/4g connectivity.
I hope anyone from the states can confirm that the mz601 works in america?

i actually want a xoom with 3g.
Cause of Google drive.
Are there informations about a jelly bean Update for the 3g Version in the EU
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

Definitely xoom1
Support is perfect! Official motorola support in europe might be paintfull with long waiting for updates ec but once you root it and install custom rom you get support, updates, everything you need
3G owner on smooth eos-jb-
Good luck!

okay thx. So i will Buy xoom 1 3g.

Its not really one click, but quite easy, if you are willing to read some threads. You might start with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285977. I can also really recommend to use the JB ROM from TeamEOS. Really great work!

[Q] samsung galaxy plus as a phone

Has anyone been able to get this to work as a phone? I got the original tab to do it but you had to change the modem to 2g mode and that made the internet worthless. Wondering if we can get it to work on 3G with phone.

What model is your tab?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium

I use mine as the phone in some cases and I don't have to change the modem to 2g. I have a p6200 version with stock ics and it works great without changing anything
Volvo for life, boxer for fun.
Volvo XC90 Executive D5 & Subaru Forester

I'm guessing the op has either got a wifi only model, or a data only sim inserted, I can't imagine any other reason why he would have difficulties using the calling feature

[Q] AT&T to VZW

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?

Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.

Moto G and WiFi Calling

Is WiFi calling built into the Moto G/Android 5.1.1? Being on T-Mobile, coverage is terrible in my house so if I can't use WiFi calling it's a bust for me. I really want to buy the phone though.

No Volte/wifi calling.

Will the Android M update make it possible to do WiFi calling on T-Mobile or is it a hardware limitation?

I've seen some fixes tried for it but I don't think they worked. I think it's a hardware issue and that band was removed from the phone at T-Mobile's request.

I'm wondering the same thing. I heard WiFi calling will be native in Android m. Has anyone tried WiFi calling on M yet to see if it's there?

The only way to get Tmo wifi calling is with a device that has a Tmo branded rom. If you buy a device ONLY sold as unlocked, such as this one or a Nexus (prior to Nexus 6) you will not get wifi calling. It can be ported to AOSP roms, etc. if a variant of your device is sold by Tmo, but it's very very rare to find one like Moto G with wifi calling, since it isn't available to buy from Tmo, with a Tmo branded rom.
As far as I know, the only reason N6 got it at all is because of their exclusive partition dedicated to carrier additions, like apps, binaries, etc....wifi calling is also installed here, if I'm not mistaken.
Also....not to be 'that guy' but have you tried hangouts? It does work on wifi....just saying

I have a Nexus 6 on Android M and it has WiFi calling biut wasn't sure if that was cause of the ROM I'm using or if it was just in M stock since the rumor was that M will have WiFi calling built in.
I recently broke the screen on my n6 so I bought a galaxy grand prime as a backup phone cause it has band 12 and WiFi calling. If the moto g got WiFi calling with the M update I'd take my grand prime back and go buy a moto g.

There are official factory images specific to each carrier with Nexus 6. The Tmobile one includes wifi calling. I don't have one, but my sister does and when I was walking her through a factory flash once I noticed they uploaded a tmobile .img that has wifi calling.
For moto g, I'm not sure we'll get it, but there is a MM rom in the Original Development section here, so if you'd like to play around and see if you can get it working, I'm sure many people would be appreciative!
I personally use hangouts for 100% of my mobile communication, so I'm pretty indifferent about this. If I could get a Tmo plan without voice coverage on my phone I would.

The new Nexus 5X and 6P are supposed to work with TMo wifi calling out of the box, no special updates from TMo.
What about band 12 on the Moto G? Any hope for that? The reason I care for these is because as luck would have it both at home and work TMo signal is terrible. And yes, I rely on Hangouts over wifi too. The problem with terrible signal is that it also drains your battery, so you have to automate turning cell radio off and leaving just wifi on to save battery. I'd rather not do all these sometimes unreliable workarounds.
