hello all
about sd card slot, as i see in forum, it's not usable yet. why? that is a lack of hardware and will be usable after 4g upgrade? or it's just a software issue and can be used with hacking android?
and another question, the 4g will be available after hardware upgrade. how about 3g? is hardware needed for 3g , 2g (gprs) installed on device? i mean is it possible to use 3g with hacking software or it's lack of hardware
thanks in advance

4G is a pure hardware issue. Hardware changes need to be made, that is why the 4G upgrade, when it happens, will require the Xoom's to be brought into service centers. Nothing you do to the software can add 4G.
As for 3G, it is also a hardware question. If you bought a 3G Xoom, you have the proper hardware for 3G...if you bought a WiFi Xoom, you do not. No hacking possible or required.
If you want 3G and bought a WiFi Xoom there is a very easy fix however. Put the WiFi version on Ebay or give it to someone, and go buy a 3G model.
Quick and easy, all fixes should be like that.

Then I would suggest checking with your carrier.
Im from iran. Here we have not 3g carrier yet. Both operators here are 2g network. The carrier i use, the network is EDGE, cannot i use mysim card for gprs internet? Just like gprs in htc.
And also in setting, mobile network, i see an activation. What is that? I didnt activated yet. Is it activation for verizon carrier just in us?
For using other carrier device should be unlocked like God dang iphone or ... ?
stock browser
Also another question. I installed a few browsers but the best browser is the stock. The only problem with it is typing, for example just now, i'm wroting this o xoom but writting speed on stock browser is very very slow
What is the problem? Is there any solution? Or any better browser?
also i forgot to say that my rom is stock rom and not rooted yet

Typing lag is a known issue on the Xoom. Are you running 3.0.1 or 3.1? Most people say it improves with 3.1. YOu can also try rooting and installing one of the custom kernels with overclocking, either Tiamat or Launchpad. The Tiamat kernel cleared it up for me, even with moderate overclocking (1200 on mine, usually).
Lots of guides here to help you upgrade, root or install either kernel.

I can't say for sure, as I have a WiFI only model. Likely the Activation option is relevant for Verizon only, but put the SIM card in and choose the option, see what happens. I would assume that if your SIM card is legit, then it should work on the Xoom, but this is unknown territory for me.
Anyone using a 3G Xoom with gprs?
i use my sim card with my htc hd2 (android), i'm using gprs a lot on it
and how about sd card slot, the reason it doesnt work is lack of hardware or can be done with software hacking?

The lack of an SD card is a software issue. Use the Tiamat or Launchpad custom kernels to enable it.
I would like to know if there is any way I can have my WiFi internet on my MT4GS,without my Sim card in the phone .Probably just surfing the net or using "whats app". I have tried and my cell doesn't connect to the WiFi router at all.Can someone advise on settling this matter ? My phone is unlocked and rooted.I haven't taken the update,so I'm still on the stock ROM.
I used my old windows touch pro 1 cell and it connects to the WiFi router without Sim card.So what can I do to get the WiFi internet on my MT4GS?
You should just have it.
I have two of these devices - one on T-Mobile, the other bought aftermarket out of plan. No sim card, yet I connect to wifi everywhere, even use it as a wifi bridge to my router for a desktop in my home.
Just go into settings, wireless settings, then turn on wifi and tap 'wifi settings' underneath it. You should see your network in the list, just tap it and enter a password if necessary.
Done.
This doesn't work for you?
Sim card has nothing to do with wifi, only cellular.
Maybe the fact that your phone is rooted. But I don't know my rooted cliq is rooted an connects to WiFi fine...

Could be, my buddy has a stock mytouch and he can't get on wifi without a sim either..

I don't think so - I just got it back from HTC and it's not rooted yet, still stock the same way I shipped it out to them. Gets on wifi fine with no sim card.
It does have an S-OFF bootloader, but I don't see how that would matter.
I do find this curious.
What exactly happens when you try to connect to a wifi network?
Does it even see the wifi networks?
Where does the ability to connect fail?
You should be able to connect. It'll have that option at the HTC setup wizard.

Says scanning ,then tries to acquire ip address then it disconnects and starts all over with the same result.Secondly I remembered the last two programs that were causing me problems in installing and uninstalling were Bloater and Busybox ,before my WiFi went haywire.I gave up trying and hence I was preparing to send my cell back to HTC, since it was still within the warranty period.I unrootted my cell and now my WiFi works again.So i really can't say exactly what caused this malfunction as yet .Thank you guys,for such quick responses.This really makes me feel proud to be part of an outstanding group of people here,and as whole, part of xda-developers.I thank you all for your help an assistance.Hopefully this information might help someone else someday.
Maybe it's your router

No my girlfriend,has the same phone with me and it connected .Had tried another router and it still didn't connect.
I do it all th time with several brands of phones. I have had problems the constanly connecting and reconnecting when there are too many devices around at the same time.
Sometimes it is the router and internet going through "spells".

Yes, "innerwebs" with wifi works without a sim card.
My g2 AND my other 4g slide both connect to my router without a sim in them.
But they are rooted with different roms so......

you can't, at least until with have no development on a510.
you'll have to wait for a dev to make a custom rom, then ask him to add your device drivers..

Check out this new app for Dongle support. Posted in the 500 forums yesterday. Confirmed working with the a500 ICS roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795591
So it's possible it may work with the 510 and 700 models also,

I have tried 3 diferent 3G USB dongles on my A510 and none of them works. So I have just swet my SGS2 mobile up to be a wifi hotspot and with 5GB data on my subscription I will have plenty of data for use when im not near a WIFI network I can use. Bluetooth keyboard and 2.5" USB hdd both work with my A510 when I plug them into the adapter that comes with the tablet but 3G USB dongles need to install some sort of software and havent found one yet which supports Android.
So use your mobile as WIFI hotspot if you can

Hey Sensation community !
Since 2 days my mobile network stopped working, I tried ALOT of "solutions" which I found here but all of them didn't help at all...I even flashed a new rom + fireware, radio, etc...
I used the search function before I started this thread but I only found little threads with like 3-5 replys and they weren't even usefull - even outdated.
So to be more detailed, my mobile network icon pops up nomally after turning it ON but only the upload arrow is filled which means if I open the browser or any app it won't work cause there's actually no connection to the internet.
I checked my APN which is fine. Most of the people say : Fix your APN and it should be fine. - Great -_-
Phone informations:
HTC Sensation
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 by mike1986
Adroid 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fixing this annyoing issue.
If you need some more details about the phone let me know

Nope, as I said, I even wiped my phone new rom, new firmware, new radio and new kernel.
I'm having the same issue, flashed cm9 last night, everything was fine and working then this afternoon at about 2 my phone says no service. I put the sum card in a different phone and it still didn't work. I'm T-Mobile UK but phone is normally connected to T-Mobile/orange network

Check your settings under Network/Connection settings and see if it's set to the correct network mode.

They all fine.
One more thing to say.
If I'm using "GSM only" the internet works but it's hekka slow -_- As soon as I switch to GSM / WCDMA auto "H" shows up only with the upload arrow on and the internet stops working.
Guess nobody knows how to fix this crap.... :/
I tried putting the sim in a different phone and it still didn't work. Might be a sim card issue or Tmobile are having trouble, for me anyway

Did you call your phone company?
I spent 4 days trying to diagnose this same kind of issue once only to find out that my data plan had been accidentally deleted from my account.
2 minute phone call and everything was working again.

As I thought my problem was with my network provider. The phone seems to have reconnected to the network and I am receiving texts and calls again. Hope you get your issue sorted.

I can be pretty sure it's not the SIM cause I tested it on a UMTS/HSDPA Surf-stick and the internet works with it. It has to be the phone itself.

Which kind of tethering ?>_> I wanna fix this already :///
Tell me what you're doing to make your "H" network work.
I meant WiFi thethering. My mobile network works only, if i use it for WiFi tethering. As long as i use the mobile network only on the phone, it doesn't work...

You can use MyFi app available on Google Play:

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Relay, which is unlocked, and it is working fine here in the UK. I love the phone, as I am a fan of a slide out keyboard.
But I would also like to use the wifi hotspot feature. Once I get my head round what the CM udpate does, and how I install it, I will probably take the plunge and have a go.
In the meantime, I could do with something simple to get the wifi hotspot working. I tried the myfi app suggested here, which appeared to turn the hotspot on, but it did not actually do so because it was not visible from any other device.
So is there a patch to enable the wifi hotspot on this phone? If so, where can I find it and how do I install it?
(none of the links in this thread seemed to take me to the patch).
Many thanks,
Pete
