[Q] (help) motorola xoom 3g verizon ..updated to ics wifi only os

Hi guys I need help or info about this Ive always wanted Motorola Xoom wifi only but I received Verizon one with 3g not upgraded to lte . I rooted it and installed ics for the wifi only system from Google or android website its stock ..
And works actually very well no 3g ..nothing about service I don't mind since I'm not with Verizon and not planning to go with them I just need wifi but my question is ...is it right I mean everything works good only the battery It seems like honeycomb stock verizon build battery stays longer is it because of wifi only ice version ..or something I'm not sure if somebody can help me with info

Hmmm ... me too. I have a Xoom tablet arriving this week, and it was listed as "MZ600 Xoom, LTE ready, Verizon". Which rom version should I install? I do not plan to activate it with Verizon, as I already have a dinc running CM7 nightly build 258, and waiting for ics. I would just like to run ics on the Xoom. If I don't activate the Xoom, which rom should I use, or CAN I use??

If both of you are not planning to activate with Verizon, using a Wifi only ICS ROM won't be a bad idea. I too have installed this to a friend of mine and he hasn't experienced any issues. You will not be missing out of any features because the only main difference is the 3g / LTE radio.

So anyone has seen the stock ICS for the xoom 3G version?

AFAIK wifi only is the only model to get an official update. Running the wingray build on cdma or lte is just fine.

[Q] LTE On MIUI Port?

I had flashed the MIUI ROM from here, and believe that I now no longer have LTE. There was never a truly noticeable, but a difference has become more apparent to me. Still, at the moment, I don't know if I have LTE or not. Can someone tell me how to check if I have an LTE connection?
I am currently running HBOOT 1.14, which I heard may have some problems with any new LTE radio implementation. If I don't have LTE, can someone tell me how to get it?
I apologize if this post doesn't make too much sense.
Thanks!

You don't have LTE because the MIUI Sense port was from the One S, a device without an LTE modem. There is currently no easy way to get LTE on that ROM, short of modifying it yourself to include drivers for the modem and to initialize it at boot.
Whether or not it will be added in a future update is beyond me. Development for the ROM has slowed considerably for the time being until someone takes control of development of it for our device again.

[Q] T-Mobile speeds on i727 running t989 ROM

I know, I know, I know, This topic sounds redundant but I've been searching and can't seem to find any specific info regarding my question.
I'm thinking about getting a Skyrocket and I know you can run t989 ROMs on the Skyrocket and I know the Skyrocket runs on T-mobile 3G/LTE. But my question is this: With a Skyrocket running a t989 based ROM can you get LTE and HSPA+DC 4G on T-Mobile? I've found more than enough sources of folks running CM ROMs or att based ROMs and getting 3G/LTE but I need the WiFi-calling feature that is only found on t989 based ROMs. Any help would be great!

BUMP!! I very much want to do the same. LTE on T989 ROM.

Are you going to use the t989 ROM because it is faster?

I think have answer for you and I think it's a no. At least for NYC. I know the LTE band uses the band that would occupy the band need in order to get the DC-HSPA speeds.
What that means is if you want LTE you can't have DC-HSPA since If I think they occupy the same band. and honeslty for me it doesn't matter since I have LTE in NY and it fastest than most home internet connections!

I would use it because of WiFi-calling. Where I work no one, not even Verizon has any coverage. But since we've got wifi here, my current t-mobile phone with wifi-calling rocks.

Thanks for the info! The area I live in an area that is weird... I can get the DC-HSPA+ in my home town...FINALLY but when I go to Phoenix I'd love to be on the LTE and I work in a canyon where no body works so I need the wifi-calling in the t989 ROM and don't want to shell out the coin for an S3 or S4 which is why I'm thinking about the S2 Skyrocket

Yeah honestly since you're with t-mobile. If you can get a tmobile branded S3, just for the LTE and WiFi calling, you would be better off IMO. The S4 isn't much of an upgrade to me. mostly software with a bigger screen if you ask me.
Hope that helps and give me a thanks if it does!

Sorry, just saw your reply. I'm using the t989 ROM because it has WiFi-Calling.

[Q] Why is there no roms for the LTE version?

Seeing as how the LTE allows for a completely mobile tablet experience and has that additional 16Gb of storage; Not to mention the ability to text and call via Hangouts why does no developer support it?
Sure I've got mine rooted and have xposed installed and it's a great ROM, doesn't mean it's the best anyone can do. I'm just confused by the lack of 3rd party support for the LTE.

If you really go through the development section some of the ROMs for the Wifi only version are being ported.

The Shield isn't a massively cheap device, all the more for the LTE variant. I'd reckon that you'd see faster ports/rom releases for the LTE model if you bought one of the devs one. It's hard to test/develop for a device that you don't have and make sure that it will still work.

Another reason in addition to what everyone has mentioned is that the LTE one came out much later then the wifi one. So there has been a lot less time to get things working on it.

Is there a DEV that can create a flashable zip/mod for international roms on G900P

Hey guys,
I have been noticing, ever since the MM update came out earlier this year, development has slowed to a crawl for this phone. There are a few roms that look really nice, but are not really good as a daily driver, as some have missing functions such as Phone and Contacts, and other stuff is glitchy. But over on the international G900F forums they are overloaded with different great roms with tons of support and updates and all that good stuff. And looking at the difference between the Sprint G900P Galaxy S5 and the Unlocked variant (The G900F in particular) they have 95% of the same internal components, with the only difference being the Modem to communicate with the CDMA (Sprint) and GSM (every other carrier basically) Towers. This is the reason why the roms will boot, and everything will work perfectly hardware and driver wise other than picking up a signal for the Sprint Users.
So what I am asking is if there is a Developer out there who can compile a flash-able zip or something alike that includes the drivers for the Modem and sprint Libs. Or even if there is someone who has a background in this that could point me into a good place to start, I would be glad to do it. What does everyone think about this?

my question for you is why do you want this? I only ask because i was running MOAR 7.0 for my trip to Romania and Bulgaria this summer. I spent 2 weeks in a town 5 hours northwest of Bucharest and tons of town around Transylvania and a week down by the black sea in Bulgaria and my S5 was working perfectly on vodafone, never had an issue at all. Im domestically sim unlocked, but that shouldnt matter as the SSU apk should get you internationally unlocked and ready for use abroad. That being said, none of the international ROMs would give you an unlock for international or domestic use.

I think you read the question wrong (perfectly fine, i didnt really word it very well on my part). What i was asking is if there could be a universal patch to make the Sprint LTE and Messaging and all that good stuff work on an international rom. I think it is possible as there is currently something that is exactly that, except for Verizon (the G900V variant).

Oh, my bad. Well, sprint lte isn't going to work overseas. To get lte, you'll need to do quite a bit of finagling with an nv calculator, qpst and qxdm. You'll first need to fine out what bands the carrier you'll be using utilizes, get the nv figures that they run on and make some changes to the modem you have installed on your phone. That involves getting into the diagnostic port of the device and, well, there's a whole thread devoted to exactly that. Anyways, hspa+ will work without too much effort, and hspa+ is pretty dang snappy. Messaging will work right out of the box after registering on the GSM network(+1 to gsm ) MMS and data will work also once you've entered the correct APN settings. If you REALLY need lte, then you're relegated to some tweaking, but if you can live with 5 to 7 Mbps(which is all a phone really needs, unless you're tethering for a laptop or several tablets or something like that), then just do the hspa+ thing. I was happily able to tool along quite well on that streaming YouTube, Netflix, Google map navigating, etc etc without issue. The reason there isn't a universal fix is because it would take quite some doing to maintain an app to have all those apns and so forth, but that being said, the idoneapps apk does do that for the available gsm carriers in the states. I didn't use it abroad, but might be worthwhile to ask in their forums. The admin of that site "nodial" is an Android genius! Their app costs $35, and it won't add the lte bands, but if the lack of hassle is worth it to you, it couldn't hurt to ask him. He's on XDA also with the same nick. @Nodial, does your app do the APN fix abroad too?
