Hi
I have a Moto Xoom WiFi and would like to use it from time to time with my phone .
The idea is to take an offer from Virgin Mobile UK for a Galaxy S2 and use it as a Hotspot for my Xoom.
Would any UK users out there know if Virgin allows it before I engage myself for two years?
Thanks

A more simple question. Can a Samsung GS2act as a hotspots with a Motor Zoom?
The reason I ask is today I went to a Virgin shop. The guy did not know if it would work. So he asked one of the girl there if we could use her S2 as a hotspot with my Xoom. It did say connected , but they could not communicate. So, I am still uncertain to get a GS2.

Heh great to see you followed the advice from our site.
Sorry I've not been much help, though I'm sure someone here will be able to help you.

IS it true that T-mobile requires you to get a web connect data plan in order to use the unlocked 3G flyer on their network? I have someone on ebay who is willing to sell me a 3g flyer and I was planning to use it on t-mobile. Since I already have a HTC Sensation with voice and data plan, I thought I could switch the sim to my Flyer whenever I needed internet access. The seller told me that he thinks that T-mobile won't allow Android data plans on the flyer because they detect the IMEI and require me to have another sim with the more expensive data plan. Is this true and if so, is there anyway around this. I have not bothered to ask T-mobile because I know what they will say but if this is true, I'm sure someone on this forum should have experience with this. The plan I have for my phone now is the Android Value plan for $24 with 400 text.
Sorry if this has been asked before. I have searched this forum for an answer but came up empty. The closest topic I could find on google is where owners of the older galaxy tab were experiencing similar issues with T-mobile branded tabs.
So after having this g2x for 2 years now I decided to Root it, all was well, it could access wifi and basically run like a phone without being connected to a plan (I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3). Well after rooting it and whatnot my girlfriend broke her ipod touch so I offered to give it to her and to put it on Net10 because my job now sells it. But when I put the SIM card in that's when things kind of went down hill, the phone, whenever I would place a call would start clicking and when I answered it with my phone the clicking continued on my end as well. I called Net10 Customer service and they didn't really help, so I put it back to stock everything except for the recovery menu. Still it doesn't work, the dude said that the t-mobile towers were having problems and that, that was the problem. I don't know if I trust that because my phone plan is with T-Mobile and I was talking with him just fine. So enough about my issues and on to the questions. Are there any Net10 friendly ROMs available and if so what are they? Is it the g2x that's being stupid or is it the network? Also my data stops working after I put in the Net10 APN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To answer a question that I know some of you might have, yes I'm a rooting/ROM noob but I did it on my Galaxy S3 and it works like a charm. Thank you for your time.
gingerbread will be better
I have purchased and activated a Samsung Galaxy s3 from Straight Talk model number SCH-S960L. My first question is am I able to flash from Straight Talk Sprint to Straight Talk Verizon. Second question is, since I have activated the phone will I be able to flash it at all. I have searched and searched the forums everywhere for an answer to these questions. If anyone could give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

Interesting questions I would also like to know. I'm fairly new to this, but my two cents on this topic is this: from what I know the sch-s960l uses sprints network so if u flashed to verizon I'm not sure 4g would work because they are on different frequencies. Otherwise I wld also like to do this cuz sprint sucks in my area so no 4g for me anyway. But I believe you can still flash after activating I don't think that matters. We need a rom that will not brick our phones or hinder any features while also getting the new s4 features (hint hint). I've said b4 will say again...I WILL DONATE to anyone who can help with our sch-s960l issues

Ok fellas, now before I ask my question, I just rant to let you know I've been a member here for quite a while, and the reason I have such a low post count is because I always do my reading before I waste someone's time.
In this case, all the posts I've read are old and outdated, and none of them provide a solid answer.
So my question here is...can the I9300 get H+ or 4g on T-Mobile network now? I've read first that NO the phone doesn't support their 4g band and never will because it lacks the hardware, that I totally understand, just like the cdma gs3 cannot do the same.
Now with that being said, I've also seen threads saying T-Mobile is adding a new band to support their byop program for people with unlocked phones.
All these I had read had old days on them with the most recent one on Feb 2013.
So does anyone have a straight answer for me?
I have a customer that brought me her fried T-Mobile gs3 and basically I kept get LCD A's transplanted it into a spare i9300 that my girlfriend brought me from Hong Kong.
I know the phone doesn't support LTE and that's fine, it's the 4g/H+ I'm concerned about, and if its possible what has to be done? New modem flash? Custom Rom?
Any help or info is greatly appreciated. ^_^

Hello everyone,
After the excellent help I found on this forum with flashing a new 5830i ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace, I am back for help with another question.
I recently discovered that I am no longer able to use my phone as a portable wifi hotspot. This is despite me being able to use it for nearly a full year after my contract started.
I have contacted my service provider (Three UK) and they told me that my service plan has never had the wifi hotspot capability included with it. They said it was some sort of technical problem on their part that allowed me to have it until recently.
They have suggested that I could upgrade to a more expensive plan to regain the wifi hotspot capability, but that it would be limited to 1GB or 2GB per month.
I would really like to know if something has been developed so that I can use my 5830i as a unlimited wifi hotspot without my service provider being able to block it. Can anyone suggest any existing threads in which I can find a solution?

OK I'll have a look. That particular app has terrible reviews, but some of the similar apps listed have better reviews. I'll have a look over the next few days when I have time.
