A question about flashing european tab - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking of eventually flashing my galaxy tab 7, especially to improve battery life. I will of course read up a lot more before I attempt to do this.
However, there's one question I can't find the answer to. Will 2G and 3G and phone continue to work? This is important as I need both 2G and 3G functionality for both data and phone.
I live in Sweden. And most threads seems to be about the US. And I don't understand why you have to choose between 2G+phone OR 3G instead of using both. Is it a hardware limitation on US-devices? Or is it a software limitation that concerns me as well?
If you have any other general advice, don't hesitate. Thanks.

I have a Euro GSM version of the tab, rooted etc, installed overcome rom latest and works like a charm, calls, sms, hsdpa, 3g, gpra, gps, wifi, all works fine. So, yes!

It should all work fine after flashing a custom rom. I have a german tab running overcome 1.6.3. No oc/uv with jmf modem. It works all fine, and fast for me.

Fake/3g over wifi emulator?

Hi, i have senn around some apps are using restriction for 3g only (like skype) and also the tv program for the bell vibrant. I were wondering, is there any way to "emulate" 3g over wifi? (making the phone think it is on 3g when it is actually only on wifi?).
Thank you very much
interesting question
it'll be nice to have some app that could do that
So... anyone ever heard of such thing? Is it even possible?
thanks
This is something I would love to find as well. Any leads are greatly appreciated.
Skype works over WiFi.
I don't really understand what you mean. I use Skype on my Galaxy S and everything works over WiFi.
But if the app only work if you're online via 3G like Navigon Select (T-Mobile 3G network to check if you're really a T-Mobile user) than you can't emulate that because you must have an IP that were given you for 3G.

T-Mobile doesn't need you to have a T-Mobile 3G connection to know that you are a T-Mobile customer, at least not technically. The notion that it might be tied into their user verification system is a discouraging one, and I'll admit entirely possible, though I hadn't considered it.
Anyways, I was looking for 3G emulation for T-Mobile's visual voicemail, not Skype. Thanks for the info.
Would love to have this for Nexus S where Internet Calling(VOIP) requires Wifi into the Original System, but on Cyanogenmod it works over both Wifi+3G but i prefer to stay into Original OS plus having VOIP call over 3G

[Q] Lost GPS and 3G after installing Samsung ROM

[Q] Lost GPS and 3G after restoring Samsung ROM
Guys,
I can't find an answer to this, even though I did search a lot...
I upgraded my phone from 2.1 to 2.2 a few weeks back, and it broke my GPS and 3g, no data connection over the phone network, only WIFI. I enabled the option and added to correct APN settings, but still the 3G (And the associated icon) never worked again.
Few weeks back I installed Darkyys rom and both came back properly, after a few updates with Darkyys roms (7.6/7.8/8.0) and a few disapointments later, I decided to switch to the latest Samsung ROM 2.2.1 JPX, I lost GPS and 3G again, so I tried JPY today, again still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanking you in advance
Maybe got an other 3G Band in your area than the firmware? The JPX/Y firmwares got a GPS issues I think. GPS don't worked for me too. Tried to flash Darky's v8.1?

Yes I think you are right, I am probably missing the Vodafone Ireland settings for the 3G.
No idea how do I go adding them, anyone?

any available modem/radio file for AWS network??

HI guys!!!!!!!1
i have a T-mobile galaxy tab unlocked, rooted, and flashed to EURO firmware with stock t-mobile modem. I have set the APN correctly.
PAD: P1000XXJK5
PHONE: T849UVJJB
CSC: P1000OXAJK5
my current provider is Mobilicity which uses AWS(1700/2100) network. I should be able to use phone call, 3G internet and text since both t-mobile and mobilicity are using same network. but i am only able use 3G internet, and text message meaning that phone call doesn't work at all. the two features are working perfectly though.
If i try to make call, the phone/dial app just close itself. nothing happens~ i can't receive the call either
so i am looking for a modem/radio file that is compatible with mobilicity and WIND mobile~
help me out guys
Not possible with the t-mobile tab.
No but this makes it a certainty that the problem is within the modem. It isn't anything that TMO is doing server side.
help me
any one else has an idea?? thank for replies though
no, you don't get it man. NOBOdY is able to use 3g and phone with a tmo tab in the states. there are threads and threads devoted to this. there is even a bounty thread where someone will get paid over $600 for figuring this out so unfortunatey this is not a "any other ideas?" type situation.
edit :: I forgot about our beloved bulldeeberman or whatev the **** his name was. he claimed to have the secret but pretty sure he was full of ****e the whole time.

i heard that you can switch between 3G and phone but i think the phone is only for GSM voice netword which is NOT supported by tmo tab. Can you switch b/w AWS 3G and AWS phone? Where is the files then?
no switching between aws data and aws phone. its only aws data or gsm phone/data.

Sir, did you read any of the threads in the forums? Or any of the previous posts?
You really need to take an hour of reading and study to get up to speed here. No offense intended - just giving you advise. Come back here when you did that and I will work with you to get voice or data and the switch setup. See you later!

i know what you mean. i did as much as i could. but there are thousand of posts regarding this issue. i read many of them but it is just confusing me much more. i just wanted to make sure.
Ok, you have a t-mobile tab. You have the stock t-mobile tab modem, which cannot make phone calls, only internet, email, and text.
Do you get a redirect to a t-mobile website?
Do you want to make voice calls from your tab?
Did you do the unlock and rom flashing?

first i rooted
i flashed to euro rom.
i use stock tmo modem
i tried to make call but the phone app just closes itself once i press 'call'.
text works perfectly
3g data works perfectly
only issue is the phone.
i need a modem that supports both AWS 3G and AWS voice but it doesn't exist according to others.
so should i give up?
You can have both with the Roto modem switcher. He includes a voice+2g modern and a 3g modem, ands instructions to set up a switch. It's in the general section. That'd my set up for t-mobile too.

Hey Ranger
I have the redirect problem. I just bought a Tab last week with the eurorom already installed. I just want to clear it out I have no use for the phone dialer. How can I get the original ROM back on so I can get the data to work?

To get the stock rom, look back a ways in the development threads, for the stock t-mobile rom, and all the steps to install it. You will have to use odin3 and a pc to do the process. Rotohammer is the developer, and I've had to do that before.
When you are back to stock, PM me for the redirect solution. You don't have to go back to stock to avoid the redirect!

I also have a T-Mobile tab, unlocked with overcome 2.0.0 and using it with mobilicity.
I had txt and data working and no phone capability,
after installing the roto modem, nothing works...
How do I reinstall the T-Mobile modem?
Is there no way to have it all?!
Im also in the same situation with the 2 fellow mobilicity user and its been a month now, still looking for answers.
I guess the 2 gave up already and just sold their tmobile galaxy tabs

You can have both, but you need to switch between both using an app. Have you seen the rotohammer modem switcher thread?
US Tmobile Galaxy Tab on Wind mobile (Canada)
What I have:
* a T mobile Galaxy Tab from USA (SGH-T849)
* a SIM card for Wind mobile in Canada (phone and data plan) - AWS 1700/2100
What I've done:
* Rooted with Superoneclick
* Flashed Euro with Odin: P1_20100909.pit + JHA.tar, Roto-JMA.tar
* Unlocked carrier
At this point:
* Can't phone, text, or use internet
* Search only finds Wind Away but cannot connect to it ("Sim card doesn't allow a connection to this network"). Phone call ends as soon as you hit send ("Cannot connect to network").
* Randomly it will have an R over the signal bar strength and tab will attempt the call, but eventually times out without ringing. R is pretty flaky
** Only once! I was able to dial out and have the other phone ring. Called back right away from other phone and Tab rang.
Installed Gscript Lite to use Tmobile modem switch:
* "switch to phone/2G"
- Can't phone, text, or use internet (much like above)
- baseband T959TLJL3_ROTO-2G
* "switch to 3G only"
- Text and internet works (phone doesn't work) as expected
- baseband T849UVJJB_ROTO-3G
I would like to know:
1a) Is it even possible to get the phone working on Wind mobile? It is more important to me to get the phone working than the internet (of course, its always the one you can't get )
1b) I assumed that since it uses the same AWS as Tmobile, that I should get the Tmobile Galaxy Tab. Is there another version of the Galaxy Tab that I should have gotten that would work (better)?
2) Is there a better modem to be using for the 2G part of Rotohammer's switch? If so, which one, and is it on the stickied modem list? (If not then please provide a link to download)
3) If it is not a modem issue, is there a better method altogether to get the phone working on Wind mobile? If so, how would I go about doing so?
Any input, links, downloads, and ideas would be great.

[Q] currnetly have a FROYO tab with phone enabled in the US, should I upgrade?

Hi all...
first off.. .the search is not working on the site so I was unable to search for this information.
I have a froyo galaxy tab with all the phone features enabled (edge data only though). I am in the U.S. and using a t-mobile tab on the Atnt network. All this works GREAT currently (though would love to have 3g and phone at the same time).
My question is can I upgrade to gingerbread or honeycomb (when it is released and no longer alpha) or will doing so remove my phone features?
Is there a modem firmware that allows 3g and phone at the same time yet?
no...not for Tmo tab on ATT especially....even Tmo tab on Tmo network you can't get voice and 3G at same time...only voice+2g or 3g only with modem switcher...we att tabs can get 3g and voice simultaneously tho...please search galaxy tab development section under Modems please
thanks DPAIK
I have modem switcher, but don't use it too much I just leave it on 2g+phone which works reliably... which is most important.
Anyone have an answer about potentially upgrading to gingerbread or Honeycomb with a tab that is in the U.S. and has the phone enabled?

I have an ATT tab on gingerbread and can confirm that voice and data work fine on the overcome ROM. It should be the same for the T-Mobile tab since they are both GSM based, however you still won't be able to get 3G service.

When you upgrade to gb the modem switcher will still work.
been on Overcome since the beginning...and it rocks...follow instructions on their thread to get it up and running...you need to flash the Stock European Gingerbread ROM first put you can download everything you need on the Overcome site...good luck

[Q]Samsung Galaxy tab on windmobile network

I bought a unlocked Samsung Galaxy tab t-mobile version running overcome kratos,
it has the call icon but when you try to make a call, the call cancels out. the 3g data works great just no call function I think I need to add a modem but not sure which one & how. I was looking at the Galaxy Tab modem list forum
would a T mobile Stock Modem work for me or something else
(the guy I bought it off said the phone works but its clearly not set up fully yet)
model: p1000
Firmware 2.3.3
base: t849uvjjb
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 overcome v3.3.1 #101
Using overcome v 3.1.0-kratos
Canada Wind-mobile (same as tmobile 3g 1700/2100 ban but they have no EDGE 3g only)
any help would greatly be appreciated thanks in advance
I also have a SGT7 on Wind. I have done some reading and the problem is that the TMobile radio does not support both 3G Data and voice as the Tmobile tab was not designed to act as a phone. People have flashed a different modem (euro or asian I believe) but you will loose 3G (Wind Home) and will be constantly roaming on Wind Away (incurring charges). I have also read that people have had limited sucess flashing a Galaxy Vibrant modem (I believe they use the same modem hardware) but there are so many different users on various networks that finding someone who got this to work on an AWS network is a difficult task.
I was considering giving this a try myself but havent taken the plunge yet. I was also on the Kratos 4.0 rom but found that my Tab was restarting itself when playing any graphics intensive game. I have switched to the Russian stock rom and have found that the Tab is quick and gets solid battery life.
By the way, I activated my tab on the Super Smart $29 plan and have been having great sucess with this combo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks phone swapper I was starting to thinks no one cares about the newbies here
I was thinking of using a modem switcher but that still would not solve the 3g calling looks like we may have to use a mobile voip to get by til the code is cracked, if I find something I will let you know.
