Multiple Verizon sources told me, with literally 100% guarantee, that wifi calling works. I'm extremely skeptical but figured I'd order through Prime so I can just easily return it.
Phone is arriving today, I won't even open it if I know it won't work. Can anyone tell me for sure either way?

You've been lied to, it won't work. Are you sure they understood you were talking about the Pro model and not the 8 that they sell? In the future, please try to use the search option, as this has been discussed.

Thank you. Just sent it back.
I found an old thread and tried to revive it but didn't get any responses. Sorry about that.

Because I followed the instructions here, which give no such warning, and bricked my WiFi Xoom. =/
I'll be honest - you found the forum but somehow missed all the previous posts regarding this?
How can we fix a softbrick? I did not think they would be different and followed a guide on AndroidCentral. Now I am at the Motorola Dual Core Technology screen and it is going no where.
I agree with the OP. At least for the time being since there seems to be some discrepancy between the wifi and wifi+3g software versions.
It doesn't hurt to add in the title of the thread or in the body of the OPs text to add something about whether it is compatible with wifi only and/or wifi+3g.
I know people can read pages and pages of a thread to find out about the compatibility but I think we should help each out and try to prevent as many soft bricks of the xoom as possible.

Wouldn't the first red flag be that the WiFi Xoom isn't even generally available until tomorrow? There hasn't been a need to make the discrepancy between 3G and WiFi models up to this point.
Do you expect methods to be made for the WiFi Xoom when its not even on sale unless you have a lucky store that decided to sell early lol.

Nope, I would expect it to be with and without a 3G mini pci card. There's no reason for the boot software to be different.

Idk it doesn't necessarily make too much sense for them to be different, but there's no reason to take it upon yourself to try it before its been approved or at least tested lol. Sorry but the first thing you should've done is the research to see if there are differences first. I think you could've waited 24 hrs and seen what people find out.
since u are sitting on a soft brick, try flashing tiamat and see if it fixes it. If not, a stock boot img should hit the interwebz in a matter of minute's.
No brick returns?
My neighbor is a Best Buy manager he told me the higher ups know about these bricks. He was instructed NOT to take returns if the xoom is in this condition. I would imagine other stores are going to do the same!
The instructions on screen when you unlock clearly state that you are voiding the warranty. They shouldn't take returns on bricked xooms.

Only if you're a moron would you allow them not to return it.

Everybody knows the root method was posted over a month ago, obviously that is for 3g xooms. The op knew what he was doing, the Guy who created that thread a month ago isn't coming bavk to change titles for you, make sure you read a guide that says wifi only root, personally that's what I would've done instead of blaming other people. If you're smart enough to root but can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you. That said you have 15-30 days to return your stuff as long as its not physical damaged, best buy has to take it back, don't listen to the other guy who said differently

I've always noticed that sometimes I misclick things when I'm browsing on the Focus.. but it wasn't until today that I tested it out using the Multi Touch test through Diagnosis.
When I touch some spot, it seems to go a bit to the left and up.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.

Afaik, no. And MS says no. It might be just you pressing differently (hopefully). If not, this is a warranty issue.
Thanks for the answer, guess I'll have to live with it or something. I bought this phone off somebody and I don't have the receipt.. which still technically shouldn't matter, since this phone hasn't even been out for a year, meaning it should still be under warranty. Any idea how it would work?

Unfortunately, no, as I live in EU and I have a Focus bought in US I hope I won't have to find out
Technically, it should work. You can try and go in an AT&T store and just say you have this issue with the phone, and yes, you're the owner. See then what they ask.
This stupid dock has been perpetually out of stock since I got my Note 2. It would play peek a boo with us for usually 12 hours at a time before going out of stock again. Well, for those of you who want one, now's your chance to get one at half off.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
This is YMMV, so take it for what it's worth. I had no trouble placing the order, and was off the phone inside of five minutes.
All you need to do is call Samsung's order hotline and place an order for the Smart dock. Tell the rep that you had been e-mailed a 50% off code last year when you registered your phone with Samsung, but the dock has been mostly out of stock since you got the code. The code is now expired, and you were told someone could reissue a new code to you when it was back in stock again.
The number is 1-800-757-0280.
The representative did not issue me a new code, but instead simply took 50% off of my order over the phone with no questions asked. She simply said, "Ok, that's fine. I'll just need your credit card and billing address, and it'll be $49.99 plus tax with free shipping."
Note that this dock also works with the Galaxy S4 as well.
If they ask you for your old code for some reason, just hang up and try again, or post in here, and I'll give you my old, expired code to use.
Receipt added to attachments.
Your Code
Could you PM me your code? The rep wanted it in order to generate a new one. Thanks

It would be easier to just call back and try to get a new person. Here's a 50% off code that was found in a Google search. rE169748w
Normally, they will just have you place the order over the phone, instead of issuing a new code.
it worked!!! i ordered mine today!!!
soo happy, thanks OP! mad thanks!!!

Any reason this wouldn't work for the GS3 (current work phone). Also, I've heard that this only outputs to portrait mode--any recommendations on apps to force landscape mode--I see quite a few on the play market.
Thanks

You could try auto-rotate switch in the market. The dock is listed as being compatible with the Note 2 and S4.

If you want a technical reason for it, ask Samsung. All I can tell you is that their website lists only those two devices as compatible.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...I just assumed with the wealth of knowledge on this forum, someone here might know the technical reasons why this would/wouldn't work w/ the GS3, as I'm much more likely to get a quick answer here vs asking a random email at Samsung.

Their staff is actually pretty knowledgeable if you call them up. Just ask for tech support or something. I know the S3 has MHL support, but I'm not familiar with the USB pinouts, which may be different than the Note 2. Quickest answer is going to be a short call to Samsung.

I just took advantage of this today!
easy as can be, just say as op suggests, no code even needed.
the cheapest I have seen this online was for $79 + shipping.
Thanks OP!
Could those of you who have this already post up some of the scenarios where you've used this extensively, or even just a one or two time usage that was really cool? I can see some benefits of this, but I can't decide if I'd use it very often...

I will when I get mine however, there is many youtube vids that go into detail on the usage of this device.

I mostly just use it as a desk charger. It does make it easy to connect a USB drive though. I have a BT keyboard and a USB mouse connected to it.
Awesome! Worked perfectly for me. Was off the phone in under 5 minutes.

almost got it...
it Almost work for me too... If the agent tells you that she can't enter a promotion code or can't change the price ask her if her manager is able to modify it for her since you don't want to pay more for something you're deem to get less.
I say "almost" because they don't ship to canada.
I'll try canada now... see how it goes.
...
saw this yesterday and got on it tried several times and no one will do it :'(
they all give same reason that 50% off is for 50$ or less items..
if any one gets lucky buy two and sell me one please
Greetings!
I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (2012).
Thanks and more power!
Are you sure that this is related to app development? Can this be changed with an app?

Not 100% sure, but like I said I am really praying and hoping it is. Maybe somebody could think of a workaround or if it's really impossible then at least they'd inform me why.
Thank you so much for the link.

You might need another firmware for the gmate+.
Or someone has to rewrite the Android app.
But to me it seems as if it it needed another firmware.

This is what I'm hoping somebody here could.
The manufacturer's site is up and it has details about the product as well, so the developer could know better about it. I have also found similar gadgets online. They are mostly products that are manufactured in China and have outdated softwares.
I'm sorry if this is frequently asked, I have no idea how any if this works, I've exhausted google and reddit as well as calling cell tech places around town, someone recommended this place, said you guys were the best when it came to this kind of stuff.
One of the Cell Tech places I called said the "File" doesn't exist yet.
Does anyone know if it'll work? If it's still unknown? And is it safe?
Yes. It will work after unlocking.
