Hi, I ordered a GT i9000 model from Europe (italy maybe) and live in Canada. To date, I have never seen it go on 3g (assuming a little 3g icon shows up when that happens) or seen an option to go 3g. I'm on Rogers with just standard voice plan so I was wondering if it was the plan or the phone?
Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm new to this.
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.
so after 6+ hours of searching for an answer i'm giving up and asking. i've found many tutorials and guides on how to use a t-mobile tab with voice calls and edge data but not 3g. now i dont know if im crazy or just not understanding this right but baseband determines if it will allow the phone to pick up certain signals including phone calls and data such as edge or 3g. therefore by upgrading the baseband on my tab i should be able to use these services, together or however I choose, depending on if the modem.bin i flashed works in my area. please someone tell me if i'm wrong, because i'm not 100% sure on all of this.
anyways, I have 2 galaxy tabs. 1 purchased in Hong Kong and the other purchased in mainland China (but this is a branded t-mobile tab in black). The info is as follows for firmware:
HK Tab: PDA: P1000XWJMK | PHONE: P1000ZTJK1 | CSC: P1000OXAJME
T-Mob: PDA: P1000XWJMK | PHONE: I9000UGJK3 | CSC: P10000XAJME
Both ROMS on latest Overcome firmware/kernel, rooted, and all 4 settings in lock status(*#7465625#) are set to OFF.
SO onto the issue... I'm using China Unicom (CHN-CUGSM) for the Hong Kong Tab with working HSDPA and voice calls in mainland China. When I insert this SIM card into the T-Mobile tab all get is EDGE/Voice calling. Now. from my understanding, all I need is the Asian/HK modem.bin(P1000ZTJK1) flashed onto the T-Mobile tab and it should work on the China Unicom network, because again from what I understand it is the carriers in the states that are blocking the use of 3g with voice calling. I could totally be wrong here and please correct me if I am wrong. Lol for all I know it could be as simple as differences in hardware.
Another question that I have is: I have a US AT&T 3g sim in a blackberry. It currently receives 3g data/voice calling on roaming. If I wanted to use this same service with the T-Mobile tab is it possible with a new modem such as the one I have on the Hong Kong tab? Also, if I decide to take this T-Mobile tab with the AT&T sim in it to the states do I have to switch modems?
Sorry for the ridiculously long post. I just havent found anything for a person hoping to use a T-Mobile tab in China regularly that is in plain English. Found many Chinese sites, but they use different terms for flashing and what not (ie they call it "brushing" i think).
(SQEAL)
SUMMARY of QUESTIONS for EASE of ACCESS, Lol
1) Will flashing a Hong Kong baseband(P1000ZTJK1/ZHJK1) to a T-Mobile tab allow access to 3g/voice service in Mainland China on China Unicom?
2) Will an AT&T 3g sim on Roaming (with 3g/voice currently working on a BB in roam) work in the T-Mobile tab IF said tab had the HK baseband? (With current baseband doesn't do HSDPA or 3G.) and again, on China Unicom...
3) Will using this T-Mobile tab in the states with the AT&T sim in it work in terms of voice/data (if so, what kind? EDGE only?)
4) Will I have to switch modem.bin when visiting the USA if using the AT&T sim in the T-Mobile tab?
So i managed to get everything working and just in case anybody is wondering here are the answers that I've found.
1) Will flashing a Hong Kong baseband(P1000ZTJK1/ZHJK1) to a T-Mobile tab allow access to 3g/voice service in Mainland China on China Unicom?
A) no. At least in my case. I got it so that both my hk tab and t mob tab were on the same firmware, baaeband, kernel, etc. And while my hk tab was 3g and voice call capable the t mob tab was only getting edge and voice.
2) Will an AT&T 3g sim on Roaming (with 3g/voice currently working on a BB in roam) work in the T-Mobile tab IF said tab had the HK baseband? (With current baseband doesn't do HSDPA or 3G.) and again, on China Unicom...
A) nope. Im guessing by this point the modem is only half the problem? Found a tutorial titled "Getting 3g and voice on a Tmobile Tab[Updated Nov 22,2010]" on xda and after following this guide the Tmobile tab is fully functional on China unicom with hsdpa and voice calling.
Sorry don't know answers for last 2 questions but Im guessing i will have to flash a new modem if tryin to use in the usa.

All,
I currently own a T-Mobile Tab I purchased outright (no contract) several months ago. I am very happy with it, but I never did activate data on it because:
1. I am an AT&T voice customer
2. I usually have WiFi available
My office has provided me with a Thunderbolt for business use, so I was thinking about just using my AT&T SIM with a Tab for personal use.
What I need to know is this:
1. Does the voice "hack" actually work on an AT&T Tab? Seriously?
2. Does the T-Mobile Tab actually support a voice "hack" at all?
If so, I would be willing to sell my T-Mobile Tab and buy the AT&T version so I could use data and voice on the Tab with a headset.
Thanks, please advise.

1. Yes; I loaded the Euro ROM onto my AT&T Tab and it was a very fluid process, after which I could make/receive calls and send/receive SMS without issue using my personal SIM card.
2. Yes, and if it's unlocked you can use your AT&T SIM, and voice will work but your data connection will be limited to EDGE/2G as the AT&T and T-Mobile 3G frequencies are incompatible.
I reloaded the stock AT&T ROM onto my Tab because frankly, it felt a bit goofy using the Tab as my phone. Perhaps if it had recognized my Bluetooth headset it would have been a different story, but trying to use the Tab as a phone really seems (to me) to turn it from a small, compact device to an oversized monstrosity. The performance as a phone, however, was perfect.
Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble using a S4 Active from AT&T with a french provider.
I live in france, and this device was bought over the Internet. At the time of the purchase, nothing told me that this was a foreign phone.
Now I have this phone, which works perfectly with newer 4G networks, wifi and text messages. But, when I'm in an area with 3G only, then the phone connects in Edge. Furthermore, MMS messages, when sending photos, won't work whatever network I'm connect to. Strangely, it's ok if the message contains only smileys.
The device is running under the official AT&T Android 4.3 (I537UCUBML2). It doesn't want to upgrade to the latest 4.4 version (though I don't really think this might solve my main problem).
Does anyone have any clue ? A solution ?
Thank you.
