added some info about video capabilities, and LTE upgrading. Also, took out the root necessity for wifi tethering.
"Q: How do I disable 3g service?
A:Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile network settings/Data enabled."
This will not disable 3G, the tablet just won't use the signal.
It is better to put the tablet in airplane mode then enable wifi. This turns the radio off and greatly increases battery life, since it isn't searching.
You can see this in the battery use screen, even with mobile data off the chart still tracks it. Airplane mode with wifi and there is no sign of data battery use.
I keep finding that the gallery wont update if you add something new without using the camera, you have to reset or wait for 10 min for it to show up
Hello, I added a ton of music using Doubletwist I used an album art grabber app and now when I use the stock Listen app the album art wont update. Any ideas? It works fine with all other music apps I just prefer to use stock. Thanks!
Any way to set up Text Messaging on this? Tried setting up an APN with no success, didn't think it would work..but tried it anyways. Honeycomb can obviously handle the Messaging Service. Any ideas on this?
Go to the market app. Then My Apps. Then the top right corner settings menu.any way to stop honeycomb from automatically making short cuts for new apps you download?

- Xoom supports 5GHz A & N.
- It is true that it can not go to 300Mbps rate. I am not aware of any mobile device that can reach this rate. Please let me know if you know one, that would be interesting data.
72Mbps is in the expected range for best N rate.
What may explain why Xoom would not see your 5GHz A or N network (or only use low rate)?
- In WiFi Advanced settings, frequency band setting should be "Auto" or "5GHz only"
- Your router should broadcast its SSID. (If another device that was never connected to your router can see it, it means this is ok)
- Xoom supports only the main channels in 5GHz band: channels are 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161. Can you try to set your router to one of those channels?
- There has been new requirements from WiFi Alliance: we can not support WEP and WPA-PSK in N-mode.
This means that if your router is set in N-only mode (does not support A mode), you should set its security to open or WPA2-PSK. If your router is set in A & N mixed mode and WEP or WPA-PSK, Xoom will not use N rates and max rate will be 54Mbps.
Please let us know if any of the above helps or not.
