I don't know the definite answer but I seem to remember that no it will not work.
If you're trying to avoid mobile data use though just leave it on airplane mode?
Sorry

Not trying to avoid it... I just don't have a mobile data plan setup... I bought it to use wifi only. A lot of the new roms will be 4G or wifi only is what I read.

Wifi rom will work.
Yea, wifi rom will work... but no data!

i have a 3g xoom and missed the 4g upgrade due to being overseas. all i use are wingray (wifi only) roms now cuz it makes no sense to have the 3g roms since they wont work anyway (and it gets rid of the radio signal cluster in the notifications panel).
so, yes, wifi only roms will work with your 3g xoom.

hi,
I am looking to buy a xoom 32gig tomorrow but my only issue is the 3G. Do i need the 3G one or can one use a use dongle?
I don't think there are any working fixes to get a 3G dongle on the Xoom but depending on which phone you have you can tether it and use the phone's connection. I use an app called OpenGarden on my Desire HD.

great, i have a desire HD myself so that was something i was think about.
i take it the sdcard works now as well?
If you have the Desire HD why do you need any app? Just start the mobile wi-fi surfpoint under settings? You get you 3G data connection shared as a wi-fi accesspoint.

Doesn't work for me. The Xoom connects to the wifi point but doesn't get out to the internet. Could be the custom rom on the phone tho.

I recently upgraded my phone to the new ICS software, I flashed the Virtuous Inquisition 2.1.0 and then 3.0.0 they both worked fantastically but when I turned my phone on after being on standby it would have a data connection but it wouldn't communicate with anything.
So getting fed up with that I flashed the update given by InsertCoin ICS and then flashed the ROM.
It is now doing the same thing again?
It's very finicky as to when it works and when it won't. But when it works it works well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

same problem, it works, but not well, it used to go from 4g or H to 2g, now it goes to 3g and hangs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Same here. Data seems really buggy on all the ics builds I have used for my tmo sensation. Not sure if it is firmware or Rom problems.

+1 I think I've had this problem with every android phone I ever had. I wish there was an option to just leave the data on at all times like home internet. I hate that it has to search for signal and connect every time I click something because it always hangs. Yea 4G is fast but if it has to dial up the internet every time I use it whats the point? The only fix I know for hanging internet is to toggle airplane mode. Which is some BS in IMHO.
Is there a way to disable 3g so it only bounces 4g to 2g?

I flashed the virtuous firmware update and formatted all partitions except for the SD card, and its been working for the last week very consistantly.
To my knowledge there is no way to turn on and off searching for 3g and only switch between 4g and 2g. Because I believe Tmobile's. 4g is just faster 3g? Idk.

Could you link to that update? One after 1/22?
My Verizon wireless plan does not allow unlimited data since I recently upgraded my phone. The unlimited data plan was discontinued after they came up with their new family share all plan. I am an internet junky and love to read about different topics and at times watch videos, and I recently switched from the AOKP ROM and they had a 3G toggle, and, as most of you know, 3G does not kill your data as much 4G. Paranoid Android does not have this toggle and I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that was kind of upsetting. The ROM is pretty amazing though. It has yo be the best one I've had on my phone yet. But am I the only one who was wondering this?

Not to be rude, but why dont you just change the setting to cdma only?
I haven't used PA for a while... you could always download phone info from the market and manually change it there
Here's the market link

As far as I've read 4G doesn't use more data than 3G, it just uses it faster because pages and whatnot load faster.
I mean... loading yahoo.com uses the same amount of data whether you're on 3G, 4G or wifi.
Right...?
My data usage per month is the exact same with my Galaxy as it was with my 3G phones. And I haven't changed the way I use my phone.

I love PA but with .52 my data is dropping like crazy :sad:
All 4G does is allow data to transfer faster. Website "A" does not use more data simply because it is being transferred over 4G as opposed to 3G. A 250kb file will be the same across both, you'll just get it much faster on 4G.

4G is flying, but I have noticed my calls automatically go to voicemail when the RAZR is on the 4G network. It doesn't even have to be in use, they just get rerouted to voicemail. A friend doesn't have that problem on 4G with his SGS3 so I'm thinking it's not the network?

Definitely your device, I have my 4G on whenever the phone is on and haven't had a single problem. Actually, I had my tethering on a couple days ago using 4G and was browsing the web on my phone at the same time and when I got a call from the lady friend, the data connection continued without a hitch. Sounds like you may need to consider a replacement, unless someone else has some info I am not aware of. Good luck.
Same here I get calls while using 4G

Yup no problems getting calls when on 4G here either....
Telstra firmware made calls go through when in 4G but then mobile network had to be manually re-engaged... I flashed the JB from SFR and now no incoming calls. Seems to be a baseband/fw issue?
Anyway did flag it with my provider maybe it's a possible bug. Who knows.

Hmm... does sound like a baseband issue. I would almost try hard reset? I have never heard of this before. I'll stay active in this thread though if nothing is resolved via your provider. Nice speedtest, by the way
Doesn't work. I am going back to ics tonight this jb sucks on my Phone
Also, wipe and reset didn't work. I'll retry tonight.

I just upgraded my phone to the CM 10.1 stable rom, installed the AT&T/Rogers radio UCMC1 to try and fix issues with LTE not working
i got LTE working as there was a setting in teh phone information menu to use lte/gsm/wcdma
after this i got 4g working and i felt like trying tethering and discovered tethering will not work when in 4g, but it works fine in 3g
has anyone heard or encountered this issue? I tried searching topics but they are all seem to be that tethering is not working at all on their phones whether it is 3g or 4g
if not i'm assuming it might be an issue with rogers? does anyone know if rogers does tethering through 4g?
My computer stays on limited access so I'm watching this thread for an answer or possible fix. I will say that I'm working around it with an app called FoxFi.

I'm on Rogers and tethering with Beanstalk and Moretz 3.0.9 just fine, and the RUXUMA7 radio. (If you're on Rogers you should really try this one, I've gotten better battery, reception and data speeds with it than UCMC1).
That being said with 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 aosp ROMs tethering doesn't work by default, you have to use a .sh script within a terminal app to fix your iptables before tethering works. Since cm10.1 is aosp you would have needed to look here:

Next time try to search around as a google search for "skyrocket xda WiFi tether" would have given you the answer.
As for you DSDONE I'm disappointed in you, you know better

I couldn't figure out how to make the shortcut so I just go into gscript lite and activate the script and then run tether hotspot and it works perfectly couldn't believe it.
Try this!
