CDMA Question

[lordao]

Hi All

I have my Xoom it rocks, now I am using it in the UK with wireless only, not an issue knew that it would never work on a network here, however is there a way to turn the CDMA off as I cant get any UK only apps from the market it still see's verizon even though it is not activated or in the US.

I tried Market enabler but it does not seem to work with the xoom yet.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Lordao

Interesting... I thought the Market identifies users based on their location. I don't think that the problem is CDMA. I believe there must be something else that identifies the device as US version.
I wonder if the WIFI only version has the same problem? I ordered a WIFI only Xoom from US, but i haven't received it yet.

What apps are UK only? I wonder if i could download them...

EDIT: I did some searching and it seems that Market checks location and ROM version. So you probably need to change your ROM version, I have no idea if that is possible.

I only noticed it when i tried to get the Sky News App, tried on the web based version and said my device was not allowed it which explained why i could not find it in the app store. I Just downloaded the APK instead.

At least Iplayer uses IP address would be pissed if no BBC iplayer...LOL
