Can't get my Tmobile sim to work in my Tmobile Streak 7, need help!

Just purchased a used Tmobile dell streak 7. It is stock and has been reset to all factory settings. The wifi works and everything looks to be ok. I got a tmobile sim card with a 2gig mobile broad band data plan. I know the sim is good and activiated because it works just fine in my buddy's stock tmobile g slate. When I insert it in the streak it recognizes the sim card and restarts but I cant use the interent via the sim. I went through the settings like the user manual says and turned off the wifi, I searched for networks and selected "Tmobile", then it says "registered on network" but no 4g/3g icon show up in the right corner. I just get the wireless bars with an x? I am new to tablets so maybe there is something that I am missing? I need to figure this out today because the guy I purchased it from gave me 24 hrs to try to get it working or I could just get my money back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jared

anyone? Im running out of time here... I tried my at&t sim out of my iphone and it instantly wanted a "special code" which was expected. Could somebody have tried to enter a code too many times while using a tmobile sim card and somehow locked out the tmobile capability?

You need to call T-Mobile customer service, or go into a T-Mobile store, and have them activate the SIM card for the tablet. They have to be tied together.
EDIT: Activate it for THAT specific tablet.

is that true for all tmobile tablets because the sim works fine in a tmobile g slate and the card was not tied to that tablet in any way, but I will try

It just occurred to me that the wireless bars with an x over it could also means that someone has removed or renamed the phone.apk & telephony.apk. I don't have a t-mobile DS 7 so I cannot be certain of this, but you can check it out for yourself. Use a file manager program and go to the directory /system/app and look to see if phone.apk and telephony.apk has been renamed or removed. I have the DS7 wifi edition, and I removed these 2 app so that the DS7 does not drain the battery. My DS7 has the wireless bars with an x over it because I have removed those 2 app.

If ya need those files let me know and ill put em up..im stock t-mo rooted...
just got my streak and ill be around now

[Q] Getting Unlock to work on Tmobile P1000 Galaxy Tab

Okay, here goes! First post here, and hopefully a useful one for others.
The prerequisite info:
T-mobile Galaxy Tab flashed to GT-P1000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband version T959TLJL3_ROTO-2G / w/ switch: T849UVJJB_ROTO3G
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XXJME
I purchased this Gtab stock, and went through Rotohammers tutorial for using the tablet as a phone while still retaining 3g capabilities of a data plan. I think I got all of that working correctly but can't verify it as I don't have a T-mobile sim card with data. (verified voice calling does work on the Tab on T-mobile)
I have since then installed Sipdroid and Google Voice with a PBXes trunk so that I can make free wifi calls using Google Voice to/from anywhere with wifi, or on 3g. All that is working great. ....BUT....
I thought the Gtab was unlocked with Roto's firmware, but I found out it wasn't when I inserted my AT&T based sim card (Actually "Consumer Cellular") It was saying "enter network lock control key" on startup with that sim installed.
I found an unlocking app in the market called Galaxy_S Unlock and went through the steps to unlock the Gtab for my AT&T card and it will not make or receive calls. In the settings it shows my phone number for the sim card, and has the IMEI # and such, but no worky. I'm wondering if there is a conflict in the settings of the device with Google Voice and/or SipDroid? All of those use the dialer app that the Euro firmware has on it... I can make Wifi calls with the dialer, but when I disconnect the wifi it doesn't connect the call. It all closes down as if the call ended. Any help on this, or do I NEED to remove the Sipdroid app or could there be some APN issues? BTW data doesn't work either on the sim card in either 2g or 3g modems that I used from Roto. I know I will probably have to use a different AT&T modem for the 3g, but the 2g one should work, right?

Update: Okay, got 2g data to work after going in and changing the APN settings for Consumer Cellular (AT&T). It still closes the dialer app when I try to make a voice call with the wifi disconnected. On the 3g modem it only gets Edge network just like the 2G setting. I'm going to try uninstalling Google Voice and see what happens.

Hooray, problem fixed... at leat partially!
Okay, uninstalling Google Voice fixed the problem. Now I need to figure out how to keep my free Wifi calling capabilities while still having Google Voice installed. Any ideas?

Problem solved!
Okay, got EVERYTHING working now with the exception of the correct modem for 3g on AT&T. I went back through and re checked my data settings, reinstalled google voice and now everything works as it should. When wifi is available my calls use wifi and when there isn't wifi it uses my sim cards cellular service. I just need the 3g modem for AT&T and I'll be set. I had to set up Google Voice so that it would prompt me to either use or not use GV to make the call and now everything is perfect. Free wifi calls on my Gtab and now a back up phone if my current one craps out. Yay!

great to hear that.
Now you might want to read the success story here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258782&highlight=850mhz
But you have a T-Mobile tab there. Not sure if flashing AT&T modem works for it.
Let us know if you are successful.

You won't get 3g. If you use JK3 modem on t-mobile tab you will get good voice, EDGE data. You won't need the modem switch.

[Q] Unlocked AT&T Galaxy Note 4 on T-Mobile?

I just unlocked my AT&T Note 4 and I'm using it on T-Mobile but have some questions.
1. Even though I'm able to make calls on T-Mobile network it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the data. When I shut off Wi-Fi it's not able to connect to internet. Is there some setting I need to change?
2. How do I delete all the AT&T apps? It only allows me to disable.
3. Is there any T-Mobile apps that I need to install?
4. When I go to Settings >> General >> About device >> Software updates it still displays "AT&T Software update". Is there T-Mobile equivalent and how do I make the phone use that?
Thank you.

1) change your apn settings to tmobile
2) you need to root your att note 4 which is not possible at the moment
3) look in play store there are some tmobile apps
4) you can't because your phone is flashed to att.

Thank you for your response!
After inserting the tmobile sim it looks like epc.tmobile.com APN was created. I had to check data roaming option to get the data to work per below TMobile support document. Is this the correct Tmobile APN?
support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2742
Is it possible to flash my AT&T Note with Tmobile image? Another issue I'm seeing is visual voicemail button on the dialer doesn't seem to work with TMobile. I had to install TMobile Visual Voicemail dialer which doesn't come up when I press the button on the phone dialer.
I thought getting the phone unlocked was all I needed to do but it seems there are many other minor issues with using ATT Note 4 on Tmobile. It looks like my wife's AT&T iPhone 6 Plus is working more seamlessly on TMobile.

WiFi calling interntional

Can anyone help me out please
Problem: WiFi calling not working.
I'm currently overseas in the uae right now and will be year for a whole year. I've tried getting my WiFi calling to work on both LP and MM but no luck. I've tried fresh installs, airplane mode toggle, WiFi tether toggle, WiFi toggle and nothing seems to work.
After I finished setting this aosip 6.0 ROM today, I looked at my quick settings and it showed T-Mobile WiFi calling but immediately after that, I had to reboot the device for a layers theme install. After reboot the WiFi calling was gone. I've tried everything I know possible to get it back but no luck.
Anyone ever experience this or can anyone possibly help me out because T-Mobile has already started hitting me for roaming charges.
Please and thank you

My current ROM

wifi calling doesnt matter about your rom, its about your provider. if your provider does not provide wifi calling(like tmobiles wifi calling), then wifi calling will never work.

It's T-Mobile. And I've check with multiple reps who told me that it's active on my account

tmo usa via intermational? i dont know if that would work..

They told me it would. I've spoken to 6 different reps. They all confirmed that WiFi calling as long as it's calling back to the US is free and unlimited

cool, i had no idea.. now i know

try using google voice instead, I know its boot what you asked about but it's what I used and it has nothing to do with the Rom, it's standalone app

I use T-Mobile Wifi calling in Europe back to the US without issue, but I set it up while still in the US.
Since T-Mobile has a *very* nice international roaming data scheme, I suggest you use Google Voice/Hangouts to avoid incurring roaming charges until you get this fixed,

Foxfi Not Working

Someone please tell me, they know a work around to get Foxfi working again. I bought the unlocked Note 8 but my carrier is Verizon. Foxfi does not work. Help??? I need free tethering.

Same for me. Unable to use it with my locked T-Mobile device

Stopped working with android 7.0. Try the sim card trick. Eject the sim, activate your hot spot. Put the SIM card back in.
You can also try a network refresher. Same idea. Hit refresh, kills your signal. Turn on hotspot.

Turn on your mobile hotspot on your notification. It should work without any workarounds.

Just realized you said the unlocked note8. To confirm this is the unlocked directly from Samsung? Hotspot works with no tethering check. I am on the old unlimited plan from several years ago.

This is good news, can anyone verify foxfi works using a Samsung unlocked note 8 on Verizon?

So if you are under the old unlimited data plan through verizon are you saying your unlocked note 8 hotspot works without foxfi just trying to make sure I understand because I got my note 8 but it is not unlocked and I am going to send it back to get a unlocked note 8 if yours is working

If your note 8 is the unlocked version. Then yes the native hotspot will work. No need for fox fi. I have tested it on att and it works just fine. People on Verizon has said the same. Beings it's not a carrier branded phone they can't put their block in the firmware that require you to have a hotspot data plan.

Great, thank you - follow up question: does wifi calling work on the unlocked version with Verizon? I think it's clear the unlocked phone may be better than the VZW version on VZW.

It works out of the box. No check on tethering.
Foxfi DOES NOT WORK on any phone running android 7 or later.

Wi-Fi calling does not work.
Video Calling does not work.
Visual Voicemail does not work.
VoLTE works.
Everything else seems to work as well.

I just received an email stating I exceeded my 15 gig hotspot limit and I am now throttled to .5 now. I am rooted on my pixel xl. So somehow they can tell now

question
I'm thinking of buying an unlocked note 8 from Samsung's website. I have Sprint.
My question is... will I be able to use this phone as a hotspot (or USB tethered) for a laptop and not be charged a tethering or hotspot fee from Sprint?
I currently have the note 4 and am using it with foxfi but must be tethered by USB.

Yes...I have unlocked version on Sprint and tried shortcut master lite to edit the APN by adding "DUN" and tried the adb method to bypass Sprint...both methods worked great and did not register on my bill...the difference is that the shortcut master method does not require toggling data on and off to get it working...it just works...both methods are better than foxfi...look in guides for apn edit enable hotspot

Since my post I have opted for the Sprint version of the Note 8 instead of the unlocked from Samsung. I used your guide to go in and add DUN but am unclear about what to add in the LTE APN setting.
I got the hotspot to turn on and can connect a computer to it however it says I have no internet access. I can connect to the hotspot just fine, just know internet.
When I go to mobile hotspot and tethering I have mobile hotspot and Bluetooth tethering available, but USB tethering is greyed out. I tried bluetooth tethering but quite honestly am lost. I can't figure out how to use it. My old Note 4 I used USB tethering and FoxFi get internet on my computer. Is there a way to get USB tethering to work?
Preferably I'd like to have the hotspot working.... but I'm curious about the other 2 also and if they were all three working then I would have options if I needed them.
I'm new to all this forgive me. As I said before I used FoxFi so an app got things going for me... This is the first time I've ever messed internally with a phone. Is there something I missed?

Once you are connected to the hotspot toggle the data off and back on to see if the internet is shared then. That may be your issue. Never tried to get usb tether because WiFi tether works on Sprint out of the gate for both methods

confirmed as well.

worked with hotspot pull down button.
