Sitting in the airport this afternoon I noticed that the free wifi connection was very unstable. Every time I lost wifi connection the Zoom picked up 3G emediatly. While in some cases this would be a great advantage, with only a 1gig plan and no way to actively monitor usage (Password problems, don't get me started), I want to be able to control when it goes to 3G. I haven't found anything in the settings that will let me turn 3G off except 'airplane mode' which turns off both.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

This should do the trick.

Go to Settings, Wireless & Networks, select Mobile networks and remove the check mark next to Data enabled.

To check your data useage, download the myverizonwireless for tablets app on your xoom. Make sure you are on 3g. It works for me, you don't need a password.
I am also waiting for my password via snail mail.

Just use "Airplane Mode", then turn on WiFi. This tablet will re-enable any radio (WiFi, BT, GPS) as required.

I tried the airplane mode and turn on wifi but other than finding available wifi networks it would not work.

I couldn't find the turn off data selection, I'll look again.

Ok, I found it under mobile networks. Not sure why I n
Missed it before.

Thanks for the help.

Eh? That's exactly how I've been running it for nearly two weeks now.

Be advised that unchecking "Use Mobile Data' will still keep the 3G radio on, sucking down battery. See if you can get someone locally to help you with the Airplane Mode On/WiFi on issue.
