Mine works perfect with my AT&T U-Verse gateway and tethered to my AT&T captivate. No problems here at all with wifi. Do you have problems with other wifi routers? Go to Starbucks or a friends and see if the same issue occurs. If not, there is something with your router that Xoom does not like.

Wifi is suspect on the Xoom. I cannot get a connection to my secure wireless at work but I can connect to the less secure guest wireless network. I also could not initially tether with my phone (TMobile Vibrant) but after I downloaded Mobile AP I was able to tether just fine and have not had any issues since then.

No complaints here to report. I'm pulling in on average a speed of 17mbps download on most days from my home wifi network. Quite the speedy little guy my Xoom is. :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigglebox:
WiFi hasnt been a problem for me either.

So far, I've used it on 4 different wireless networks (G and N/G), using various security options and I connect to each without fail. Hell, Ive even seen the Xoom connect to WiFi when driving down the street towards places that I have it configured to see.

I did have some trouble at one point due to my DNS and DHCP servers being offline. I didnt suspect any issues with them, so I spent more time than I should have troubleshooting the Xoom.

Always Connecting...

Greetings All,

I have been having issues as well after the update. The wireless always disconnects and connects and doesn't stay connected. No problems with my Droid X or laptop or other device.

Problem is that now I'm getting very close to going over my data plan.

Is there a fix in the works, since it worked perfectly with 3.0

Annoyed...

OS

UPDATE: Uninstalled the leaked Flash 10.2 and that has fixed the problem, somewhat. Still disconnects, but less.

Glad I found this. Yes mine doea it too. If I linger on a webpage for more than 30 seconds or so, it disconnects. (Yes I have all settings set correctly) same issue with market and now facebook and twitter app after the update. No connection or synchronization failed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olisim:
Wireless issue fixed....

Greetings again,

Even after uninstalling flash, the problem persisted somewhat. I was getting very frustrated and so I reset the xoom to factory settings. A few notes on that. All applications were reinstalled, through the market which is good and bad.

So far, after 2 days of heavy wireless use, not a single drop in wifi connectivity.

Hope this helps...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exo8:
I haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever. I think it could be your router. My Xoom stays connected with my router and I haven't had a single problem so far with connected wifi.

My PS3 needs a router reset every single time I want to play Black Ops though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtorral:
ihad this issue. I think it may be hioneycomb and not xoom related because I experienced it on the acer iconia. The good news is that I resolved my connection issue with wifi. On the surface it looks like a dhcp handshake issue so, if you assign your xoom a static ip from your router, the issue goes away and all is good.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vamp6x6x6x:
Same here, because when I was on 3.0 it never disconnected from the internet, but since the upgrade to 3.1 it seems like it wants to disconnects all of the time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlherr:
WPA2 - AES caused major download issues on my Xoom

I agree with what Pyr3x said.

I just upgraded my home wireless network and my xoom started having horrible download speeds. Ends up it cant handle AES and doesn't let you pick what encryption you want - it appears to use the highest encryption available on the ssid (I had tkip and aes enabled). When I killed AES and only left TKIP my xoom download speeds went back to normal. Issue is, you need AES for N wireless so if you can create a separate SSID for your xoom only, or if you have an extra (maybe old AP) you can have the best of both worlds, N for everything else that supports it, and decent speeds for your xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosterwp:
For me, WiFi works fine. I have my router set to AES+TKIP. And I seem to be getting the best speed and compatibility across all my devices. I am not sure about other routers, but I have a WNDR3700 Netgear Router. Check in your router settings for the option for both TKIP and AES.

If you root and install CM7, the feature is coming soon. Should be coming in a nightly release in the not too distant future.

Btw, other ROMs may claim to have this feature first, but the code is "stolen" from CM devs. The version they have is buggy and unstable according to the CM code review site.

After recently upgrading to the new syndicate rom, I tried a few times to odex the rom, via the on click method here at xda. I keep getting stuck on the black samsung screen. I had the drivers installed, and I made sure my media scanner wasn't running. I tested my phone throughout this process and everything was fine until I would odex the rom. Maybe the no carrier iq has something to do with it? This new rom is really fast but I can't help but want to see it odexed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Same thing happened to me with the new Syndicate ROM.... the developer of the odexer tool has been busy working on the ROM kernel, but says he will put time into updating the tool soon hopefully. Not much we can do right now I don't think, a few others have had the same results as well.

i would like to know should i stay with T-Mo and get an android phone with them, or get the EVO 4G and go with Sprint?

what do you guys think cause i want a fast and reliable phone

thanks in advanced

Depends on where you live. If Sprint is faster and more reliable in your area go with that, and vice versa.

Now if you are in NYC, then thats a whole different story because all the carriers here suck. lol

Evo? You mean that phone that they cloned after our beloved HD2 that we had in 2009? :P In your case since your on TMoUS I say you get MT4G or G2. Its almost same so see which you like as G2 has keyboard, also stay away from SamSUX device like old.Vibrant 4G or Nexus S.

Hi everyone,

i rooted and s-off my g2 with visionary r14, the easiest way since i don't wanna mess with command prompt and adb...

when i go to HBOOT i see that is s-off, but i checked with a sim different than t-mobile and i figured out it's operator locked.

I tried to see if the menu simlock on the HBOOT was useful, but when i enter i get load mccmnc image error, is that menu helpful in some way to unlock?

what is the easiest way to unlock?

Yeah dude sorry for those guys. Their content is sound, but their delivery was awful. It's your phone, do whatever you want to it, however you want. Just know the risks and realize there is an inherent danger to your device no matter what method you use. Read read read.

And the VAST majority of folks here are more than happy to help, regardless of the problem. Just make sure you also search, search, search because it is very difficult to have a truly unique problem and someone has probably asked your question and someone else has probably already answered it.

Have fun bro.

There is nothing wrong with being a 'newbie'. All of us were in that position at one point or another.

The issue that this community has with newbies is that many of you have a simple disregard for forum RULES and POLICIES. Here's a start:

1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

A simple SEARCH and reading would have revealed that Visionary is not for unlocking the device, only for obtaining root.

As has already been stated here for you, GFREE is the method you need to follow to unlock. Search for that and read the thread.

Your Welcome.

Hey OP,

When i first got my G2 (Desire Z here in Canada) I spent about 3-4 hours on just research and understanding of the rooting process, adb, S-ON/S-OFF and gfree. After I figured all that out, the actual process was only about 10 minutes. It was a great learning experience and I would be more than happy to give you a simpler and more broken down procedure if you would like. Let me know via PM.

Regards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] prittyboy203:
Hi op I sorta was a noob for a day or 2 everytime I switch devices I was on the android central forums think I new everything lol nooooot I bricked my first switched service.

phone the mytouch using the visionary method not the way to got I thought why not just get the phone unlocked and get true true s-off just in case and it has been the best thing I ever thought of.

I have not used these directions it does get confusing cuz some say it worked some say it don't them some start saying where does this or that go and then you have no clue where to start lol.

I hate to tell you to go to a different site but I used the new unlockr.com method which is the same gfree method with a mix of some of the true s-off guides.

because some file pushing commands where annoying so once you get a video guide on what to download and a writen guide over here just put the 2 together.

I moved the gfree file,busybox,data file to your data/local/tmp directory and moved the superuser apk on to the root of the sdcard and then followed the commands that actually use the file that you placed into your data/local/tmp directory.

you will need visionary need this just to get temp root to access the data privalge you need to get into your data/local/tmp but after you've read the directions a thousand time you'll know what I had directed you to do.

I know that was a lot to read but that is plain an simple ways to manually move the files to the spot you need them without commands to move them you can do it your self but read this and the true root directions and the unlockr.com guide for this phone 3 times before attempting.

I had unlocked and rooted my g2 in 10 mins instead of bringing another brick to my friends store lol

I love my evo to death! I took a cruise through the hero forums today to see if there's any new and cool to do to my moms hero(still a good phone), I noticed a lot of you guys are on the fence trying to decide between the shift and the big one!

A couple things I want to point out. Shift may have slightly better specs but regardless I have never seen a slow down on anything, life is fast and large.

Also on the keyboard side, the on screen keyboard on the evo is much better than the hero due to a improved touch sensor and just having the buttons be larger. Also after you get it you can remove the stupid arrows(they take up too much space).

Go down to a Sprint store and play around with them till you find something that really makes you say yes this is sweet. For me, I have large hands and the evo is a lot easier for me to use because of the big screen(also I use the kick stand at least twice a day.). And they just got hdmi out working too!

Also in no way am I trying to put down the Shift, just pointing out even though papa evo is older its still in no way a slouch.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mccandroid:
I'm glad sprint is sticking with the EVO brand for its flagship android devices. Don't get me wrong, I like choices, but I mean the EVO is almost a year old, and it hasn't been until recently that anything else worth buying has come out (atrix, nexus s, etc.). Now that they're refreshing it, I'm sure the new EVO will be the best thing on the market for a long time.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijackie:
Here's what I did... may help someone...

I knew my upgrade was going away come this Friday. So, I used my upgrade to get my new Evo (upgraded from old beloved Hero). Got it at Best Buy. Forked over $149 (had a $50 coupon) and paid them the extra $40 for their BuyBack program & BlackTie. Original retail cost of the Evo is listed at $599.

Then, I upgraded my plan to Shared to include my mom (porting her away from TMobile... so, that's an extra $150 service credit promotional from Sprint right there). BestBuy is currently running a new activation promotion and gave her a free LG Optimus S, retailing at $399. I spent an extra $40 for their BuyBack program on this phone also. Then, I gave my mom my old Hero and had Sprint do a free handset swap. So, now I've got this free LG Optimus sitting around in a box, never gonna be used. And I'm canceling the mandatory BlackTie $10/month on the 31st day from purchase.

Still with me here? So... when the new Evo 3D comes out, all I gotta do is take my current Evo back into Best Buy within the next 6months and they give me a $299 gift card for my Evo on BuyBack, and $199 for the never been opened Optimus S.

I failed ethics in high school. And college. :D

And your mom gets your ****ty old Hero. LMAO. JK, :) Sounds as if you worked the system for sure. Question though, Lets say the 3D retail is 599, 699, 799 without the upgrade price. Will they roll back your eligibility to get the phone at the upgrade price? I guess it's better than spending the full retail.

You are getting back 498 for sure but you come up short and then if your.. "Mom's" hero breaks... then you have to get here a new Optimus S on Ebay. ;)

I do hope it works out for you. Sounds like some of the finagling I do.
