[Q] Hotspot Galaxy S2 and Xoom with Virgin

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.

[Q] I need some help with my Rooted G2X

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.

getting the Korean Version SHV-E160L to work properly in USA on ATT?

Has anyone had any luck getting the SHV-E160L note to work properly on att in the us? I have signal and only get g. cannot do MMS or get edge or lte? any information and help appreciated!!
anyone?
I have the same problem when I move to the USA. So far I have been able to get SMS/MMS working with 160 characters by installing a custom ROM.
But I haven't been able to get more than "G" data. I'm with T-Mobile.
I spend over a week trying to find a way to get at least 3G speed but no luck.
I kinda gave up cos I find out the Korean network band for 3G/4G are different from the ones used here in the US and since this is an hardware issue it's nearly impossible to resolve it unless the network providers here change their bands.
I was kinda disappointed cos I was in The UK before moving here and I was able to get 3G speed without any problems at all.
Anyway let me know if you are able to resolve this issue l.
Good luck

unfortunately, unless your are running an international rom with the radio's to cover them, you will not be able to force your device to roam. At this time I myself am not sure how you will accomplish this.. Each handset for is different. You may be able to roam on a compatible at&t network with the right radio's installed. but i'm going to say it's not "TRUELY" possible at this time.

That kinda sucks, but thank you for the reply.
I have tried a few things and can get the phone to "see" AT&T and T-MOBILE networks, but it says my sim will not allow connections to them.
Is roaming still included in the new share everything plans as it was before when we had unlimited? if so this should be possible at least on sprint (CDMA). If not, that might be the problem.

[Q] NO 3G with samsung Galaxy S4 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid

I have a samsung Galaxy s4 that was with u.s cellular, but flashed to verizon prepaid. I am miserable with it. My average data is only 1x. Very rare does my 3G icon pop up. When it does show up the minute I try to search or send something it disappears. I've done the speed test and it's terrible... All show & No go.
It was flashed by Cricket King (ebay) & It seems like I'm just getting the run around. Emails are not answered in promptly, if at all.
Not sure what to do.. was thinking if re flashing to a different carrier like t mobile or metro pcs.
Does anyone know why I would not get 3G on long island new york
zip code 11772
It's frustrating to even get a mms picture messsge out
Help please
