As the title says I don't want to have to carry around a 3g dongle or mifi router with me all the time and I wont get enough if I sold my Wifi only to buy a 3g version. Would it be possible to retrofit a 3g modem into a non wifi version?
There was some talk about it here.

HI,
I just got a samsung I780 and flashed the i780MSHC3 rom, today i got a att pda plan. However, I can't use i780 to connect att's 3g network, always in gsm/gprs....... (using in LA, 3G definitely covered)
Is there anybody having the same problem, or could somebody give me some advice (already called att, but not worked out)
also,
Gyngabread Man could you help me to change my plan to the $30 PDA connect with isp support?
Thank you
Please help...
my date plan is PDA PERSONAL CV TE
I screwed up...
please help
how to make i780 tri-band 3g????
Anybody helps????
whether there is a way make i780 works on att's 3g?
Thanks....................
What phone rom are you using ?
If is an old one, try with the italian one.

my phone radio rom is:
XIHA7 the Italy rom...
I just wonder whether i780 is capitiable for att's 3g network, if now whether there is a "solution"?
is there anybody else using i780 in U.S. on ATT 3g network?
Thanks.....
The phone does not have 850/1900, only 2100. How do you plan on using AT&T's 3G network without 1900?
Changing the ROM will not give your phone the ability to now utilize AT&T's 3G network.
The weird thing is it won't even connect edge..........
but when insert t-mobile(us)'s card... it at least connected to edge....
and when i "roaming", i can connect to edge network, but with att, without roam, can only connect to gprs........
dats so sucks...
Just whether why some rom will make the i780 has tri-band 3g function

Sorry to revive an old thread...I can't connect to AT&T's 3G either (I live in Chicago). The band selection on my phone, though, is
1)900/1800
2)1900
3)WCDMA (phone doesn't connect to anything with this selected)
4)Automatic
PDA ROM is DXHE1
Phone ROM is PUHE1
Am I an idiot for buying this phone (I would need 850 instead of 900 on this bad boy?) or am I just not using the right settings?
same problems here...
Unless I'm mistaken it's a hardware issue, no amount of ram flashing will get past the the fact that your phone will not broadcast on the right band...
I read an article that Motorola Xoom have the same modem than iphone4.
this modem can support HDSPA+ with a simple firmware upgrade. anyone knows that it is possible?
i'll go this weekend to Miami, and i wanna buy a xoom, but i'm not sure if 3G connection will work in my country. I need HDSPA+ compatibility and i want to use xoom to navigate in the car with google navigation.
i know that 3g theetering is possible with another mobile phone "i have a samsung galaxy s" but it's usefull if i need to connect everytime the teether of the mobile phone to the tablet.
Verizon's Xoom and Verizon's iPhone are both CDMA devices, it's almost 100% likely that you will not be able to connect it to another countries carriers - unless they happen to be CDMA as well, but since you mention HSDPA+ - I will assume that they are GSM.
There are 2 iPhones in the US, a GSM iPhone and a CDMA iPhone. Verizon's is CDMA only.
The Xoom and the iPhone could be using the same modem, I don't know the radios off hand, but they will be CDMA radios, not GSM.
Hope this clarifies.
I guess i'm not getting this right
I keep searching for a xoom 3G version but all i get is Verizon's only... I currently live in Saudi Arabia, and no providers are taking this tab on board of their plans... does this mean i'm stuck with the WiFi version? what if later on they started to support it, is it possible to upgrade it to use 3G, or is it the case that i will have to sell it and buy a new one if i need the 3G support?
the reason behind this is that not every place i go has wireless internet connection, and i would benefit from the 3G connectivity cause i will be able to use regardless of where i am as long as there is a signal.
anybody??
i kinda need this to make up my mind before i buy it, as it is a large investment USD 670
Thanks
The 3G version is currently/nominally on Verizon at this time, yes.
Its slowly rolling out to other carriers but I think mainly in wifi versions on.
What you COULD do, is if you own an android phone, user something like barnacle to do wifi tethering, and tether the wifi xoom to it, et voila, 3g access.
Hey ramyt,
I'm in Saudi too and I just ordered a Xoom. Whatever you do DO NOT get the 3G version from the US. This is NOT the same 3G we have here. The US 3G is based on CDMA, which is totally not compatible with our 3G which is a GSM based network.
What you want is the EU version of the Xoom 3G. You can pick one up at Hantec.co.uk or gummobile.com
Beware though, that the EU version of the Xoom is still stuck at Honeycomb Android version 3.0, while the US based Xooms have been updated to 3.1 (lots of goodies and bug fixes). Hopefully Motorola will be sending out 3.1 updates for the EU Xooms shortly.
As saifbarry pointed out, don't purchase a US 3G model.
The UK / Euro XOOMs will be GSM compatible and you can also buy them off contract. For example, www.carphonewarehouse.com sells the 3G XOOM in the UK. I'm sure there are probably other European retailers that sell the unsubsidised version, off-contract.

The idea crossed my mind. I have an HTC Desire, but there is a big problem with that approach, the tethering device will drain its battery like rocket speed.

hey saifbarry, thanks for that. did you manage to buy one for yourself? how is it working here is Saudi?
Bro why don't you try use a MIFI 3G router with your XOOM WiFi.you just need to plug in a 3g data sim card in to the MIFI 3G router then you can connect your XOOM with WIFI.
Hi All,
Thank you for taking my call.
So I want to ditch Comcast. I am thinking about using T-Mobile LTE with a 4G router. Maybe this router: DLink DWR-921 4G LTE Router.
My question is: Do I need to purchase tethering from T-Mobile when I set the 4G router with my T-Mobile service?
Also: T-Mobile says when you do purchase tethering, they limit you to like 5GB of tethered data. If I used the 4G router, would this limit affect me?
Thanks!

hi, anybody know a cheap 4g/5g modem dongle upto 1gbps.
seems hard to find which is odd as you can use your phone to do this, im guessing they really dont want people using there data plans as broadband, i live in the country so my 5g 100gb/month £5/month deal is a saviour as 1mbps broadband is not fun.
