If you tether form your phone you will not get 4G unless you upgrade your phone for $200. I would get the Xoom on contract and use the $200 you have saved to pay for the $20 data service. If you run low on the 1GB allowance you can always tether for the rest of the month. The money you save $200 + $200 pays for the data plan and you get 4G in the process.

This way if someone calls you, you will always be able to use the Xoom while talking, especially navigation which is very conservative on data and also caches local maps.

Also your resale value will be much higher. This is my opinion and I am sticking to it. :o
[Xoom General] roflha:
Ok from what I've heard I'm going to pick up a 3G Xoom off contract from verizon. Most of my places I use it have wifi and I could get a contract in the future. Thank you everyone.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
I have to say after reading about the whole att warning iphone users about tethering I wouldn't be surprised to see carriers lock down on that. I don't know the technicl aspect with android and if there even is a way to tell, but even if they do if you have a verizon android device they sell the wireless hotspot for $20 extra and it comes with 2gb. However, if you go over the 2gb then you pay another $20 for 2 gb. The comparable 3g plan is $20 for 1 gb, but you get the convenience of having 3G (and soon 4g) on your tablet. I picked up the 3g/4g model and i am currently on the $50/5gb plan. I have used just over 3gb so i am more than likely going to drop down to the $35/3gb plan. For me it was no decision I definately wanted the 3g model as i really want the 4g upgrade and that to me was worth the extra $200. This tablet is going to be great with that option. One'other reason is the tablet has the option to share the 3g/4g with up to 5 devices so that is another good option. I thought of getting rid of my incredible and going back to a feature plan as it has just been sitting around, but I decided to order the thunderbolt instead as i can't be without a smartphone. Believe me I tried it this last week. I hope this helps, and this is only my opinion. I feel the 3g is worth it as 4g will be great on this tabket and i feel it will be awhile before there is a better spec'd android tablet on the table (quad core?) I went with the 1 year contract so it should work great and i know this tablet will stay relevant for at least a year. I am really enjoyimg it and i must say having 3g built in really makes the device better in my opinion as i save battery life on my phone. I will more than likely be tethering my thunderbolt to the Xoom for the next month as i want 4g and it is free (hotspot) until may so i might drop down to the $20/1gb plan. One other thing to think about is the wifi only Xoom might not have GPS built in. I haven't read anything about so hopefully I am wrong, and i really don't have any reason to look into it as i have the 3g one. The ipad wifi one only uses cell tower triangulation and isn't very accurate so you might want to look into that if you plan on using google maps with the Xoom. I think you are smart to stay away from the two year contract though as the 3g/4g is, in my opinion, the way to go, but I think this early in the game stay away from contracts at all cost unless the is an option for 1 year. I have it as i am an employee so it is a no brainer.

The battery I have been so surprised with. It has been great and i have yet to need a charger during the day (and I bring it everywhere with me). You should have no problem with the battery as i am getting a good 6-8 hours of heavy use out of it and still end up with 30-50 percent when i put in the charger. It has been the best part if this tablet so far as i have always struggled with battery life on android products. I don't even have to remember to turn off wifi and gps. Seriously the battery life will be a non issue take my word for it.

Good luck with your decision I hope this all helps.
[Xoom General] roflha:
Well I got the 3G Xoom without a contract.

I love it!

Thank you all
[Xoom General] socomdark:
once you leave the 1gb plan you can't go back to it. Verizon had message show that before i changed my plan to the 3gb one. The 1gb plan is just introductory it seems
[Xoom General] myv6mustang:
Wow didn't know that...funny when I was getting mine he didn't mention it. Guess I'm tethering if I yet close to one gig. To he honest overages aren't all that had...

1) I bought mine at best buy. Did not get a plan. It worked great on wifi right when i went home. However I soon got in situation where I wanted internet to use my Xoom and there was none. So two weeks in a broke down and got a plan. Since I have verizon I added the line on my account from the comfort of my home using verizons online website. Just make sure you save the sticker that comes with yoru Xoom. It has a bunch of numbers on it. Because when registering it will ask for these numbers. After 15 minutes i just clicked activate on my Xoom and boom, i now had 3g, no verizon phone call or store needed.

2) They sell the Xoom HW the same no matter where purchase it from. Well unless its a shady vendor that is. If the box says Motorola Zoom, don't get it, unless you want a nook with honeycomb :)

3) battery is grand

4) I got the 3g, i thought i would regret it at first, but as I said, i saw the need for it pretty soon and I'm very happy with my decision.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I got the 3/4G version at the steal price but as long as I have my company paying for unlimited data with my iPhone I won't need the data plan for the Xoom itself. I don't tether a lot but I'm afraid that AT&T will complain if I did.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahoop:
Hi, I am a somewhat new user here starting originally with xtrsense 4.6.5. I am now using v 5.0.1 but I believe all the xtrsense roms use the original sense message app from stock 2.1.

My issue is that the messenger doesn't seem to split the messages up before sending them. From what I have read this isn't a problem for verizon users but I am not on verizon. I have set up my apn, prl, and everything else manually to get the phone to work, but this is the one last bug that I haven't been able to solve.

I know that I could use go sms or handcent, but I kinda like just sticking with htc's messenger. Does anyone know which files I could edit to help change this. I just downloaded the android sdk today so that I could poke around from the computer instead of just on the phone itself with a file manager. Also out of curiosity, where is the mms max message size stored? I think the default 1.2Mb is working fine but I want to play with some of the mms settings to see if I can get a better quality receiving/sending. I think it's just that my user agent isn’t really understood on this carrier, so I should change it to an android phone that they do have.

Is anyone having the issue on the xoom that when DolphonHD is put in the background for a while or even just enough to suspens itself that when re opend it crashes. Worst part is that when it Lets me restore the crashed session it will just crash again.

And its happens no matter what site is open.

I love how Dolphin lets me use flash only when I want it and all its features that it has.. just can't use it because of its crashing. I u installed and reinstalled. No luck

I have used dolphin since i got the xoom on launch. My stock browser would crash way, way to much. Only thing i do different then you it seems, is i actually menu exit the browser unless i plan to multi-task at the time. I use registered dolphin HD.

[Streak 5 General] duckydan:
I'm running Streakdroid 1.8.1 and I'm not getting any audio from the phone itself for calls. I get audio fine from the speaker and on my bluetooth headset but nothing from the phone itself. I've tried reflashing back to 1.5.1 and then back to 1.8.1, tried factory reset and a reinstall, and tried installing with no options but none of it worked. Any idea as to how to fix it so audio will work through the handset?

Edit: Since the phone was less than a day old I took it back to best buy and went through the steps to install streakdroid and that one worked fine. It appears the phone was just defective.

~80mb/sec! something is not right... and indeed it wasnt.

something odd happened... immediately after the cp finished the /media/xoom mountpoint became unresponsive for ~60 seconds. I could open astro and browse from my xoom, but doing this from my pc:

$ ls /media/xoom

just hung for a long while

I suspect the write was committed to memory and then synched to /media/xoom so one more test

*same file size as above test2*

$ time cp test3 /media/xoom/test3 ; time ls /media/xoom/test3

Which means ~113 seconds total (cp+ls timing) and ~10mbyte/sec

Which if you factor in mtpfs+usb copying (compared to the dd write above) sounds about right.

I am guessing a commit to memory is happening somewhere, but my dekstop is running Linux and Linux doesn't commit a write to memory so cp wouldn't have come back until the write was synced to the disk...

Does this have something to do with mtpfs? Is this a usb'ism? android'ism?

Any thoughts/ideas?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
No idea the technically info, but on my evo my memory drops way down as I copy files to to the sdcard. It then goes backup when I'm done coping. So what you say is happening appears to happen on other android devices also.
[Xoom General] Blades:
From my experience.. ADB (USB) is the slowest. I have tested ADB over TCP but I cannot remember the results.. CIFS is a step up... and then.. FTPd via filexpert (sdcard access only) is the fastest by far..

get a hold of iwmulticall binary and 'ln iwmulticall iwconfig' to get access to iwconfig.. then iwconfig <name of wlan device> power off to turn off power management for the wlan card.. That boosts transfer speeds quite a bit in some scenarios.. ionice <pid> rt 1 and renice -20 <pid> of the process <pid> doing the copying can also help.

one I forgot is sftp which is somewhere between cifs and adb.. not as fast as FTP.. Thats done by setting up dropbear and getting ahold of the sftpserver binary.. then mounting the tablet via sshfs.. The upside of this is that you can mount / of the device on a computer and have access wirelessly..

You'll need a linux distro for this (but I believe WinSCP will work for windows as long as you can tell it where the sftp-server binary is).. Heres my little script for mounting a device running dropbear (dropbear -v -s -g)

sudo sshfs root@$1:/ /media/sshfs/ -o allow_other,sftp_server=/data/dropbear/sftp-server

its run like this ./<nameofscript> <ipaddress>

this assumes you have dropbear setup correctly with all the appropriate rsa keys generated for your clients and the sftp-server is where you say it is.

btw.. Android REALLY sucks when it comes to making use of the hardware.. I was able to choke up my viewsonic gtab by using its 100mbit eth connection to serve files to a wireless windows client via ftp.. 9-10 MB/sec too much for you, Android OS? Ugh. pathetic. and 9-10 MB/sec peak when it wasn't falling on its face and delivering 0 bytes/sec.. completely frozen.. (but not actually dead/kernel crash)..

another edit: In response to the OP.. 80 MB/sec is beyond the usb 2.0 bus spec..so thats strange too. See whats up when its transfering.. what process is active and how much resources its using.. you could kill all the other unused processes too, but chances are.. they'll just launch again cuz android is ****ty like that.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Uh, yeah it does- but you're not eventually writing to slow-ass NAND flash on your desktop, either.
[Xoom General] Blades:
The Xoom apparently suffers from the burst..pause..burst issue when transferring as well. OCing helped slightly. I don't think this is an issue of slow ass nand.. but then again it could be transferring to a ram buffer on the device.. the device flushes the buffer (or it gets full) and that's when the freezing happens...

Renice/ionice-ing the sdcard process did not help much. That's /system/bin/sdcard binary for those wondering.

Cifs speeds done with 'cp' via terminal emulator are terrible. 600 KB/sec. Gotta love it when the OS is the bottleneck to your internet connection. Power Management turned off (wlan0), priority increased for cifsd,cp, and a dhd related process.. and the speeds jumped up to a blazing 800KB/sec when clock was locked at 1504... meaning my wireless network speed scaled with my processor clock. How screwed is that? Last time I checked, 'we' were only oc'ing the cpu and gpu..
[Xoom General] onicrom:
this would depend on what filesystem you are using and if the default behavior is to write sync or async, i don't recall what the default for ext4 is, but mounting /sdcard via mtpfs over usb, which is a fuse mount of /data sure does make fore determining the type of write difficult.
[Xoom General] onicrom:
Interesting finds! I wonder if http transfers would be the same as ftp... the only problem I have with http transfers would be getting the browser to open the files with the appropriate application.

Ideally I wouldn't need to transfer data to/from my xoom at all I just want to play over the air, but if cifs is really the bad I might need to test alternatives.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Looks like the underlying FS is ext4 with data=ordered and barriers on (of course). I can't imagine the fuse FS (or MTPfs) being the bottleneck:

[Xoom General] Blades:
The way in which the Xoom rxs data over USB reminds me of a program I use on my Windows comp called FancyCache. It allows you to set a r/w buffer in RAM, specifying the size and write delay. I just wonder if the Xoom starts to write to nand when the men buffer is full, or after a given time.

I hope it doesn't just wait for the buffer to be full/transfer to finish to start 'flushing' the ram/cache.
