Use My Smartphone Sim with Streak 7 3G?

Hey i remember asking this question a while back about my galaxy Tab but i guess i'm hoping theres been some developments since then. I'm trying to use the Sim card from my smartphone with my streak 7 but it seems tmobile has put some kind of weird block on using phone sim cards with the Tabs, probably to force you to have to buy a separate plan for the Tablets all together. I'm wondering if a workaround has been developed for this and if theres is a way to use my smartphone Sim in a tmobile tablet. thanks for the help

dont know if this helps.
I tried the tmobile sim from my touchpro2 with $10 web2go in tmobile's dell streak 7. I got the 4G connection.

thatd be cool but ive got the $30 smartphone plan so im trying to figure out a way to trick the phone into thinking its not a tmobile sim or get rid of that connection to tmobile all together.

Have you tried changing your APN to internet2.voicestream.com?

just tried it, still giving me this tmobile login when i use the browser

Have you asked T-Mobile to 'fix your connection'? I've done the same with my carrier and switch between my phone and tablet to use the data all the time, but then again my streak 7 is carrier unlocked and so is my phone.

i think this is specific to tmobile tablets in the states, and im not sure there is an unlocked tablet that is tmobile 4g compatible, which is what im after, i wanted to get the lg G tablet but it looks like you have to either use a sim for a phone or tablet, not interchangeable

Does the iphone make an ad hoc wifi hotspot? If so, use the trick from this thread:

I appreciated the post, but I thought it deserved a wider audience. A lot of us 4G owners want to upgrade. I would prefer OTA direct rather than manually.

and thats Friday October "7TH" for anyone thrown off by the title. theres no Friday Oct. 5th in 2011. we know what you meant, and Im hoping for this too for my Tmo s7 4G.

October 5th, Friday? What world is the rep from?

No word on 4G
I haven't heard of the 4G updated for Oct 7th but only for the Wifi. Speculation is that 4G isn't part of the update due to TMob not being able to support update. However we shall see.

That's still the most current news. No HC update for the US version of the TMobile 4G Dell Streak 7. It's important to remember this is T-Mobile's decision not Dell's.
Here's to hoping that wrong.

I jus got off the phone with tmobile and According to a tmobile rep he informed me that as long as dell sends them the update they dont see the issue in giving us 4g streak users the hc update. He also stated that dell is in control of sending out the update tmobile has no control over it so if last night i spoke to a dell rep and he stated that 4g should get the update on friday and tmobile said as soon as dell releases the update to them they will send it to all 4g streaks via ota i dont see why we wouldnt get it. (Fingers Crossed)

Yes, I updated the title. Sorry guys, bad typing on my streak keyboard.

I am ready for a proper HC update, even with some of the negative review from the other OTAs pushed out so far.
For me, the DS7 will have more longevity then my phone. It's. Already faux-G, and I use it for vastly different reasons than my DInc.
Keeping my fingers crossed. That I won't have to root before my warranty is up!!

[Q] Downgrade to Stock Froyo

Hi. I Have a T-mobile 4g Dell Streak 7. I got it and within a day i had installed Dj_steve's StreakDroid. I liked it at first but when i started playing games they would force close. All my games force closed at one point or another. Not only games but other things too. I decided to try Dj_Steve's ICS which is much worse but I know its a work in progress and I appreciate his work.
Now im trying to go back to Stock froyo or whatever is the latest ROM from Dell. I need my games. How do i go back. I saw a thread on here but it was only for the WiFi version.

But as far as I know there is no Oficiall HC release for the T-mobile 4G version, only the wifi version has HC for Dell.

I do not own a T-Mobile 4g unit but the Roms found at the link thread are official Dell Roms.
I am not 100% sure but isn't the 4G US Rom the one you are looking for?
Did Dell sell an unbranded 4G DS7s in the US?
Unless you are attached to the T-Mobile bloatware, I think it might be safe if you used the 4G US HC Rom... but as usual... proceed at your own risk...

They started selling unbranded 4g's sometime last summer up till they stopped selling them.
They sold them though their website, I dont recall if it was even available in any physical store.
That's the main reason US-4g roms exist seperate of the tmo 4g ones

FC's are more often incompatibility between the OS and the app, rather than the ROM causing it.

I upgraded from stock 2.2.2 last Friday and have 506 on here now. Whole new device. A real tech bargain at $179 USD. Happy as can be.

If you can locate a 514 rom... I would highly recommend it. 506 gave me quite a bit of trouble... few FCs and clunky UI... 514 is WAY better... my 2 cents...

Tablet ONLY.
It does do GSM data, but you have to put in a SIM card that is marked for data only.
