will a US wifi xoom work in the UK? any issues
Yes.
It does. I haven't seen any issues so far. If it helps I used this link: http://t.co/NelNL3D
Although I only went through steps 1-3:
link above said:
1. Unlock the device via fastboot. Instructions here. DO NOT RE-LOCK EVER!!
2. Flash the Official & complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. Links here. Every time I tried to download the "does not require login" version from mediafire I got a corrupted zip, so instead I downloaded from the Motorola developer site (with instructions) here.
3. Once the 3.0.1 Rom was up and running, and I had an internet connection, I got the OTA notification for the 3.1 update and installed it. It took about 10 minutes to notify me once I had connection, probably because it had to download it before notifying me. After the install and reboot process, I had a stock 3.1 install............

The US WiFi should work anywhere. I have a US WiFi Xoom and it updated to 3.1 OTA just fine as soon as I connected to a WiFi access point, even on the other side of the Atlantic.
I didn't need to do anything to it. I opted to unlock and root, but it was working just fine on stock.

Yes, it works just fine in Europe and you will get the updates faster then european Xoom's.
Included charger works in Europe (220v), but you will need US > UK adapter.
You know I just noticed I read the question wrong

Pre installed books and the stock email app stopped working for me after 3.1 update. No big loss. Everything else works fine.

I am going to England for 2 weeks in September. Hotel only has wifi in public areas, wired in the room, but I should be able to set-up an ad-hoc network using the wife's netbook.
I have one plug adapter, and will probably pick up at least one more to make sure that netbook, Xoom, and Kindle stay charged.
Just tried Books and it works fine.
You need BooksTablet.apk, i used ES File explorer to install it. It will give a error that it wasn't installed but after a restart the Books icon appears and works.
I seem to have issues with google books where it keeps uninstalling itself after the 3.1 update...
but either way - wifi works the same in the US as it does in the UK.
all good
I think the things that differ are the networking frequencies and stuff

But this morning when I wake up, google now is not working. it says no connection but i can surf the net, download apps from the market and do everything.
So I master reset the the phone. then set up everything from the beginning, after all these hassles my google now was working. Now the next morning i wake up and its the same. No connection error on google now.
So can anyone tell me whats going on and how do I fix it.

I have pretty much the same problem!
I just realized mine isnt either. Stock Rom, Rooted, TWRP and just flashed franco M1 yesterday. Hmmmmm
Having this issue for months now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Had gone through many forums and no solution yet. Counting days when I get back to England because I believe it has something to do with my ISP.

Just go to Settings-App search for "google search" and delete cache/data, you should be ready to go
Hello,
Just got my Nexus 4 in earlier today and been playing with it all day (got it Like New condition on Ebay). I've updated to the latest version of Android 4.2.2 Kitkat OTA and everything is running smooth as butter except...
I have an LG 55" Smart TV with Wireless Display and was hoping to "Miracast" my phone to the TV. So I go into the TV options and have it search for the device... then go into my phone, and into "Cast Screen" under settings, and indeed they see eachother. So the TV "asks" the phone if its OK to connect, and then on my phone I get the option to confirm its OK, which of course I do... then the TV shows that its trying to connect for a while and nothing happens on my phone. Then...my phone loses all connection to the internet. I mean all the bars are there, wifi is on etc... but whenever I try to open a webpage in Chrome, Youtube, netflix etc its like I'm not connected to the internet. The only way to fix it is to either reboot, or go into airplane mode then back.
I would really love some help getting Miracast to work! Thank you!!!
It doesn't work on any 4.4.x roms I know of (not sure if it works on stock) I got it to work by dual booting a 4.2.2 rom and using that and I works like a charm on my lg smart tv

@scottguest11 didn't say that - he only said that FoxFi seems to work well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49558391&postcount=5
Try the app "Tether Setting" (noboru) - this relies on a bug in the VZW hotspot app where the hotspot starts running even though the nag screen about not having signed up for a paid service pops up. The trick is to not press the "cancel" button when that popup dialog appears, but to navigate away from that by pressing the Home button. (Also, this app requires few privileges compared to FoxFi)
This works for MJ7 - I don't know about MJE. If you have MJE maybe you could give it a roll and report back here.
[Edit] I just stumbled across this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564777
while looking for something else. Kinda suggests that toggle hack won't work on pure MJE ... but there is a framework mod available. Might just be a better idea to cough up the $8 though.
I'm using Foxfi, but I've noticed that while tethering to my iPad, it seems to be able to only use one app at a time. I usually play Spotify, and it pauses anytime a notification pops up, and it also pauses if I use any other app. Not happy with it at all!
I can't seem to get it to work. Will the free foxfi work at all? I have no problem with paying the 8 but the free won't work so i don't wanna get it and it not work. I also tried noboru WiFi settings with no luck.

FoxFi works smoothly with MJE. Paid version of FoxFi.
As of the 26th Verizon blocked the app again, now the folks at foxfi have to find the way around again to make it work agai, well at least thats what im experiencing

I just tried Foxfi on my note 3 and its's still working for me. I don't like how it shows tethering when I going to settings and check on the data that I've used though. So I'm not using it anymore. Looks like I'm going to root and either install a ROM which I really don't want to do, don't want to hassle that crap. So I'll probably do the little script change or line change whatever it is that allows the hotspot to work.
Never mind my last comment, I deleted the app reinstalled and working fine again

Yea foxfi works on the free or paid version and it is working on MJE. the only difference in the paid and free is that the free only lasts for 30 minutes then it turns off and you just have to go restart the hotspot
Found a different app that costs less, and works without the various steps like foxfi.
Doesn't seem to have a widget, takes some time to load the app, and turn on the wifi tether, but works well.
On updated 4.3, MJE, rooted.
Program is called wifi tether router - fabio grasso
Hello all,
I am currently having issues with my showbox on my Verizon Note 3. For some reason the app refuses to update and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall in order to get the most recent movie/show listings. On top of that, when I reinstall, I ALWAYS get an error msg when the app initially tries to download the movie/show list. It says "network error check Internet connection." I do not understand what the problem is because at the time my Internet always works fine on 4g. Finally, I am only able to download the most recent movie/show listings 1 time after initial install and that is when I am at home on wifi. After the initial update it goes back to not updating. My phone is not rooted, although my friend went through all the steps and then found out that bc of my baseband version, the phone could not be rooted. Is there any chance that attempting to root messed up some settings that are causing me to have this problem? I am running android 4.4.2. Any advice or help is greatly greatly appreciated. Also, I've been trying to find a way to contact the developer but haven't had any luck? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks again for all the help!!

Uninstall it and then get it from their website. That's the only way it works for me when that happens.

Verizon has this application's host server blocked in their firewall. I hear t-mobile, and AT&T aren't far behind...
I use shoebox daily on my note 3 and it's not blocked at all... I'm rooted and I just hit the back button everytime the update dialog pops up. Causing the pool up to go away... Back to showbox viewing then... Mine updates the movie or shows on either wifi or data... I did update a few months back when app broke though... I searched it on Google

What version is it?
Tried Uninstaller and reinstalling new app from website. Still getting "server error check Internet connection" while I'm at home on WiFi . Believe it or not it only has updated when I'm at work. Very strange. Any ideas?
So i just downloaded the app and you're right it does have the connection error.
I decided to run some tests on my work ATT wifi it wasn't loading but when i turned off wifi and used my Verizon 4g it loaded.
So i went back to wifi because i am not on an unlimited verizon plan to be downloading all these files, and it works.
I was able to recreate it on a tablet so i believe only the inital sync of the app is needed on a network not on ATT after that you can use the app normally.
Give it a try and see how it does work.
1st open the app on a non ATT network then switch over to the ATT wifi you're using.
Good Luck.
I tried showbox and I really liked it but it comes up as a threat in any Antivirus app.
I really don't know much about it but would like to know more.
I just don't need any frauds getting my info off my phone.
If it's all good to use can anyone explain the permissions. Location and a few others kind of made me worry. Plus my GPS was searching the whole time I had the app open.
Thanks guys
