So, I was wondering, since the Nexus 7 don't have support for 3G, it's possible to use a 3G modem, with a USB-OTG to use 3G on it?
Crap, the post is in the wrong place, so sry -.-"

ok i have the HTC CDMA Sprint HERO.. and im woundering if there is anything i can do/install on my phone to improve 3G reception at my house... i have ify spots at my house where it just wont hold 3g.. is there like an external antenna i can plug in.. or can i wire one in... ive allready installed the radio update. but it didnt really help.. thanks for your time.. i hope someone can help me..
Try all of the radios, not just the most recent, some are better for some than others.
Also, if you call sprint and complain about splotchy coverage they may give you an AirRave - caveat: you have to have high speed internet for those to work.
well the AirRave thing wont work.. lol the reason why i need my phone in 3g is so i can teather it lol.. but do you happen to have a link for the radios?
and i just flash the radios zip file right? and it will over write the one i have installed now?

Yeah, Read the directions on that website.
Make sure you ONLY EVER get radios from this site OR this sub forum of XDA. This can brick your phone....
They flash a little differently than a rom. After you tell it the update.zip you want to flash, you will see it reboot to a different background image. If it appears stuck after a few minutes, roll your scroll wheel and see if the selection at the top changes. if it does, then its done.... I think... been a while...
Better yet...read the directions.

unless you've found a workaround, I don't believe tethering works over 3G on the Sprint network unless you have an EVO - tethering does work over WiFi with the Hero.

Flash an Eris based ROM. Note this this may break the Sprint apps (NFL, Nascar, etc Nav and TV will still work)

With a data plan...Should/is the option to start a mobile hotspot from the N7 3g present?
I'm interested to know the same thing. If we don't get a definitive answer by early next week I'll test and post my results here as I'm hoping my N7 3G will have arrived by then.

Yeah, i'm switching from a "broadband" t-mobile hotspot i wonder if it will work. Otherwise it's off contract and i can add it to my plan.
TMobile SIM reported to not work on Nexus 7. :what:

Sorry to ask what is probably an obvious question but are you confirming that the hack works for you or that tethering works for you without the hack?

That it works only when the hack is applied. But you still cant torrent on AT&T without proxying.
Hi guys is it possible to change the data icon from h to 4g or 3g? thanks
Not sure why this is important to you, but in case you're wondering whether you're in 4G/3G, not that 'H' typically signifies 3G and 'LTE' signifies 4G in stock Android.

Why do you want to change it? There's already a 3g icon, used for 3g. I've seen all 3 icons pop up on my N6. Do you just want only the two icons to ever pop up, 3g and LTE?
EDIT: Either way, I think you might need a rom, or maybe a launcher + root could do it?

You must be a T-Mobile user if you want HSPA to display falsely as 4G :silly:
Here is how it was done on a Nexus 4. Since this is a developer's forum, take the plunge, try this on your Nexus 6, and report back. If you refuse to, then a developer's forum is the wrong place for you.

Thanks for the link but how can you say developer's forum is not for me? I been a member for years its not like i am a newbie.
With all the CM/AOSP clones having similar issues with Data connectivity (lack of handoff, Roaming, improper network names) I thought a thread with the experiences would be a great tool for the Dev's to refer to to help solve this issue.
VERIZON ONLY PLEASE!!!!!
Please use the following format:
ROM:
Kernel:
Radio:
Roaming indicator: Y/N
1X/3G/LTE Handoff Working: Y/N
Comments: Any steps you have tried to get it working (The verizon APN update.zip floating around, ERI fix, ECT)
LTE Discovery Screenshot
I'll update as I can with confirmed working ROM's/Solutions.

I'm stock 5.0.1on Verizon I haven't rooted or unlocked because of these problemsthese problems seems as if at times phone freezes up has 3G or Sometimes 4G but still no Internet connection then finally after sometimes 5 minutes it connects up and it's fine it's not network because my wife's Droid 4 gets 4G kind of embracing. Also seems slow to hook up but decrypting may solve that. Are these the problems you are talking about or is my phone jacked?

This happens on my T-Mobile version. Sorry. I know the OP only asked for Verizon people.
Where is this verizon apn update.zip you speak of? The biggest issue I'm having is not being able to get data through my network extender. I have tried stock, aosp, cm12, all roms have the same issue. Pretty sure its an apn issue.

I have a Moto Droid Maxx, and am able to do calls and data at the same time....Can the new nexus 6 on VZW not do this?

Obviously your other phones get data? I'm just asking because the newest network extenders are no longer capable of data connectivity...

Well I wasn't talking to you, but I was just pointing out that some (I may have been mistaken on the "newest") of Verizon's network extender's aren't capable of data connections (such as the network extender for business I had)

I believe all the regular extenders are all the same I know someone who just got one and it's the same as mine. I have had several android phones some work some don't. The Note 4 does Nexus doesn't. Makes no difference you need wifi to make them work anyway so you have data

Guys... Whoever is around and on verizon.... Try adding this to your build.prop and report back.. fixed my issues....
ro.telephony.get_imsi_from_sim=true
This does fix most issues with roaming and data on Verizon.. Confirmed

Hello.
In the very beginning of using my mtcb device, there was an option in the settings with auto brightness. It worked with the illumination wire.
I don't know really, what I changes, but it isn't working anymore or let's say, the option isn't there anymore.
What I have done is switching between different Roms and changed a few things in factory settings. Can there be the problem?
The second one: anybody here using a 4g stick? Is it possible? Which model are you using?
I am really unhappy my 3g stick, working with my old parrot Android device, is not working on this one. Which ones are you using?
Thanks for the help

I just ordered a Huawei wingle.
It's an USB-powered Wifi-stick.
It turns on by it self when it get's power, and then it makes a wifi-hotspot, that the radio connects to automaticly.
(I haven't recived it yet, but i hope that it works excatly as i described).
wifi isn't a problem, it's build in. i really just interested in 3g or better 4g

right, it was a misunderstanding. then i use it like i do already. i use it now with my phone as a hotspot. that could be a solution, thought about that already. but a real 3g/4g surfstick i would prefer

I'm sure it has to do with which kernel modules were compiled in. And as far as I know, we don't have any true original android ROMs for our units, so that's not likely to change soon.
