[Q] iPhone tether to Xoom Wifi

I know this topic seems similar to some. But it's not exactly the same.
I am trying to use my iPhone to tether to the new Xoom WIFI model. My tethering app used in iPhone is MyWi
I read the forum and found that Xoom WIFI doesn't support Adhoc. This is probably the reason why I cannot do the internet tethering.
Does anyone know how you can use iPhone to do the internet tethering to Xoom WIFI?
Will this Adhoc problem be solved by our developers here? If so, I could probably wait.
If I cannot find a solution, I have to return this device. I tried Xoom 3G, it supports Adhoc. This is just a bad move from Motorola to disable the Adhoc support on the Wifi model.

Not sure with the iPhone. I can tether from my atrix to the wifi Xoom, but I have the tethering plan.

The 3g xoom does not support adhoc either, you are somehow misinformed.
I am 100% sure that it can be enabled however.

At the moment, the Xoom does not support connection to an ad-hoc network. However, it can be tethered via bluetooth, so if your iPhone can do bluetooth tethering, you should be able to connect.
There has been some discussion of enabling the ad-hoc capability in the development forum, if I recall (it is capable, but either locked or not yet implemented or something), so you may want to check there for any updates.

Im using MyFi in Bluetooth mode and it works great with the Xoom.
You just need to pair the two, like any Bluetooth device and then in MyWi enable bluetooth, then on the xoom under blutooth click the wrench next to the iphone and select tether - Thats it.

Thank you. I tried. It will paired but it won't connect. When I hit the tethering in Xoom.. it will say tethered and then lose connection again. Any idea?
Thanks again

Here's the thread on tethering the iPhone to the Xoom 3G. I followed it and it works flawlessly. I use TetherMe on the iPhone and have no problems. I can even connect the phone to the car stereo (as handsfree) AND use the internet on the Xoom simultaneously. FYI - I have NOT activated 3G with Verizon.
Hope that helps!

Thank you. I finally get it to work using Bluetooth tethering. I used Tetherme from Cydia. The connection speed is slow though (AT&T), I will do more test to see if it is caused by the bluetooth connection.
Thank you all for the valuable inputs.

No problem! We're all in the same boat here. And there's always the "thanks" button

Just noticed that. I clicked all the Thanks button. Good luck ^^

something weird, I have a factory unlocked iphone 4 (with no jailbreak) and I bought a xoom wifi expecting to have trouble pairing to the iphone 4 hotspot based on this thread.
I was testing trying to pair them via bluetooth with the original iphone 4 hotspot option before trying the jailbreak programs bluetooth method. As I was testing this I noticed my xoom displayed my iphone 4 wifi hotspot network name in the wifi networks, so my xoom sees my iphone 4 wifi hotspot and is able to connect to it, i don´t know why but it does.
So maybe my iphone 4 model MC605ZP is not using ad-hoc or my xoom is seeing an ad-hoc network....all i know is a I´m very happy!!
Edit: It seems IOs 4.3 hotspot is in fact Infrastructure so is not that weird lol...

Thanks for the help mate. I can't find the 'thank you' button, I'm posting this reply instead.

Success without Jailbreaking on 3GS
Just got my Xoom from Telstra, took SIM and put into my iPhone 3GS and wanted to tether the iphone to the Xoom.
I was wholly expecting to have to jailbreak as per previous posts, but it worked great out of the box.
Step 1. Put Xoom into Airplane mode
Step 2. Turn on Bluetooth in Xoom
Step 3. Turn on Hotspot on iPhone
Step 4. Pair iphone with Xoom using Bluetooth. It should say paired and not connected ( once off activity - should stick )
Step 5. On Xoom, press spanner icon on the iPhone connection and select Internet Access
Step 6. Browse away
Each time you switch Hotspot on iPhone On you need to manually reconnect to Internet on Bluetooth settings in Xoom. Bit of a pain but minimal.
Interestingly, I can turn on WiFi also while in Airplane mode.......you can't use a Xoom for phone based calls so intrigues me what this mode actually does appart from being a single switch for turning BT and WIFI off together.
Xoom is running Android 3.1
iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5
No other stuff loaded on either device that would assist this in any way.

[Q] UMA wifi calling on tmobile no longer working

Ok guys. I have a HUGE mystery here. I have a Nexus S...i believe it was running 2.3.3 when I bought it from best buy 2 months ago.
I have no cell coverage at the building at work in so i connected my phone to the wifi network and configured the phone to make calls over wifi via the friendly wifi calling wizard (NOT VOIP CALLING). after this point, all calls, sms, and mms were routed over the wifi connection at my work.
2 weeks ago 2.3.4 was pushed to my phone. now there is no more wifi calling...and there is not a wifi calling app (not voip calling....i am talking about UMA calling).
i have called tmobile who knows nothing about it..i have called samsung and called google...all know nothing about it and keep mentioning voip calling..which is not what im talking about.
i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone and installed android 2.3.3 but there is no wifi uma calling.
what gives? anyone else have this crazy issue?

Huh?
Im curious how you got the UMA wifi calling on the nexus s in the first place. It was never a feature and through out the forum people were saying is next to impossible to get wifi calling on the nexus s because of its unique firmware of what not.

This does not come with stock 2.3.3 so I am curious wherebyou got this package to install it. Being someone who is working with it the RIL fails on the auth functions. If you actually found a working package this would be quite interesting to get a hold of.

[Q] Any conclusions on WiFi calling? Do we now have better info?

I have posted to this forum information that took my a lot of googling and reading to find, regarding WiFi calling - that WiFi calling will not work on certain SIM cards, and will work on older versions.
Some did went and replaced their SIM, but not sure if they have updated their threads.
Do we now know anything new on this issue? WiFi calling is very important to me because TMobile reception in my house is week, and I loose calls a lot without it.
Currently running MIUI ROM with no WiFI calling pre-installed on this build, but used Weapon for a long time and WiFi calling did NOT work.
I will chose any ROM that has WiFi calling working.
Thanks!

Wifi Calling
I had a problem with wifi calling on my wifes mytouch 4g. I was running Virtuos Unity on it. I called t-mobile and they turned on a Wifi calling helper app on there end. Problem fixed. Calling T-mobile may fix the issue....let me know what happens

The 3110 model is the one that has a GSM chip?

I have p3110 and it is only WiFi so, p3100 should have 3G.

if you want to make a phone call
buy the p3100 version.
it come with 3G like galaxy tab 7+

Groove ip and a Google voice account SHOULD achieve this.
I was able to make calls with my Nook and Transformer with this two.
Neither one have 3G capability.
Wifi connection needed.

I've looked all over and not found a 3G version for sale. I thought I had on eBay, ordered it, and got a second GT-P3113.
Can someone PM me where to find the 3G version?

WiFi calling on Verizon?

Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)

I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...

I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.

I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.

I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
