GSM calls with galaxy tab S2 - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I would like to know if I can make GSM calls with this tablet ?
My old Galaxy Tab 2 can do it, and I'm searching a new one having this capability.
Thanks,
Poukill

All unlocked international variants can make/receive GSM calls.
Carrier versions are usually locked out.

Yes, the the sm-t715Y (8.0") and the sm-t815 (9.7") both make calls. Also, I can confirm that they both get LTE in the US on T-Mobile and AT&T.

Okay thank you guys.
I'm planning to buy the international version anyway.
I hope it will work. ?
Thanks.

I have used t715 sa phone about month. it is equipped with basic phone functions- proximity sensor and vibrations...
totally usable, for me...

I use my T715 for work. Calling with the tablet against your ear, with an earkit and over my cars bluetooth works perfect.

[Q] Besides G.Tab, any other Tablet that offers 'Phone' abilities via SIM Card?

I currently own a Samsung Tablet with Phone functionality via T-Mobile, I'm wondering if there are any other tablets out there that offer this capabilities (hacked or not hacked)?
I use T-Mobile, so itd have to be compatible with T-Mobile/SIM Card... or is the Galaxy Tab my only option?
Love my tab as phone, so much real estate on the screen it's amazing, totally outweighs the size of the phone... just wondering if i have more choices out there
I believe the flyer and the 8.9 tab

I believe by following this below treat, you can enable the phone function (for european version). Mine is unbranded and unlock (Asian version), that why I can use the phone function.

[Q] T-Mobiles G Note Voice Recorder

Hi All
I have the AT&T Galaxy Note i717 and am using it on T-Mobile Service network does anyone have a zip or can make a zip of the Samsung Voice Recorder? I have bought recorders and not one has worked as good as the one on the SG II the GS III or the G Note and the 3 roms that work the best for me don't have it. I have even tried a couple on the market and all were low.
I study law and use/need it for my classes and lectures it is very very important I would be willing to pay for it if need be.
Thank you

Wolfson DAC in international version?
Well, without starting other topic, I got one more, fast question...
People say that i9305 US version doesn't have Wolfson DAC. But how's about SGS3 LTE international version, does it have Wolfson DAC? Anyone who has international version could confirm that?
I read some topics but noone really specified which version they had.

[SOLVED!] Very dissapointed with LTE Samsung Phablets, any opinions please?

NOT DISSAPOINTED ANYMORE BOUGHT A SM-T715Y AND EVERYTING WORK FINE NOW, THANKS TO ALL
Hi, i bought this 3 Samsung Phablets
sm-t235y one year ago
sm-t705 3 months ago
sm-t715c yesterday
Im really dissapointed with this devices, all 3 devices are SUPPOSED to be LTE but none of them got LTE on US T-mobile. I understand its because of LTE bands, but im really frustrated cant get a phablet that works in LTE, its crazy, i know about businness model and LTE band for each region of world, but have no any other choice of buying this models because US version of this LTE devices has no phone capability.
H+ data seems not be as reliable as LTE, i have a Galaxy Note 4 provided by T-Mobile and LTE works really great on it! <10ms ping, better coverage, duble as fast as H+ download and uploads speed
I notice difference in Skype or Whatsapp calls the difference between LTE and H+ . Because of that i want to get a LTE working phablet.... i use a lot voip calls
sh-t715c is a very new device so there is no too much information but i have seen that sm-715 (not the sm-715c) in some pictures, seems to have proximity sensor and US LTE bands, it is true?
Any opinions will be welcome because im little lost, and dont know
*When i talk about LTE im talking not about just the LTE icon... im talking about for example... lower ping times than 40ms (on all this devices ping time is +-40ms) and (HOPE) better data service coverage with less interruptions.
Thanx in advance

What you are describing isn't Samsung's fault. Basically, it was your choice to purchase this specific model (815C). You could have purchased the T-Mobile specific model (817T) which has all of T-Mobile's LTE bands or the an unlocked AT&T model (817A) or an unlocked Canadian model (817W) which also have all of T-Mobile's bands or the international unlocked model (815N) which has T-Mobile's main LTE bands (and possibly all of them, which is what I have been trying to verify in this thread but no one has replied to it). The 815N goes for $539 on Amazon. If you are in a non-LTE band 12 area for T-Mobile then the 815N version will work just as well as the 817T, A or W versions on T-Mobile. If you are in a band 12 area then I would strongly advise to purchase the 817T, or unlocked A or W models.
In other words, the only advice anyone can give you is... if you really want good performance on T-Mobile, you need to buy a variant which supports it.
to further clarify..if you are looking for LTE AND voice calling then you should get (have got) the international version as the carriers block out the cellular voice calling (sure wifi-based skype etc always exist) at least that has been the practice all along upto the previous generation (not Samsung's fault..for that matter the Ipad mini lte does not have cellular voice calling either).
@mac231us, what is the full Samsung model number of your s2 and what is the model's FCC ID? (if it's not listed on the box or device then it should be listed under regulatory information under the about device menu under the system menu).
T815Y has LTE on ATT's network here in the states. I have one myself.
This one from this seller to be exact.

With respect to the OP, unfortunately there is no band 12 on the Y variant.

Hi myphone12345, i think you did not read me in deept or i have been not so clear
1-first of all, i have to say that i think that i could not use a 10 inches tab as a phone as you said... if i choose this models was because i like a phone between 7 and 8.4 max inches can fit in my pocket (they fit)... you recommend a 9.7 phone.... would have to keep phone on on hand or a bag.
2-In other hand, you recommend me to but a T-Mobile specific model (817T)... that, my friend, is not a phone... it is a tablet, it does not have speaker on front beside the front camera.... and again 9.7 inches....
3-Obviusly a tmobile device will have all of T-Mobile's LTE bands... thats my point... i want to a 7 to 8.4 phablet.... i mean a tablet with real phone capabilities, i know skype, google voice, and all voip and no... dont want that want to use a regular phone
I conclusion, in my opinion there is no samsung phablet 7 to 8.4 inches that work with all real lte bands and have real phone capabilities

dont understand friend, these are all international versions with LTE (not us LTE) and voice calling.... talking about sm-t715c specifically, i can make calls, use data service, but not real LTE speeds like as example my galaxy note 4.... all sm-t715c works great only problem is it has not LTE.... just H+.... and im talking about some "malificent" deals betwen samsung and companies like tmo att verizon... that samsung does not sell devices with US LTE because samsung obviusly has a big bussines with these carriers so samsung "help" tmo att verizon to users have to buy his devices....
but..... when a mad guy like me want a phablet, cant find one, because all samsungs tablet on tmo, att and verizon DOES NOT HAVE REAL VOICE CALL CAPABILITIES... just check all of them has not the speaker on front at side of camera...

I am confused too now...lol (sorry)
anyway...this much I know
my t715 (not C, Y etc) just T715 gets LTE on ATT (I have checked and let alone all the checking from all my experience using the tab S T805, Tab pro T325, Huawei Honor mediapad x2 gem-703, sharp sh-06f, Tab 4 7.0 sm-t235, oppo find 5, xperia ultraz, Chinese 7 inch mediatek-based phablet, and other NON-U.S carrier-branded devices (yes device junkie), this is the only device that I have used-again talking from among the non-u.s carrier-branded devices that I have used...this is the only device aside from oppo find 5 and the ultra z that actually does LTE (from checks AND how it FEELS speed-wise)...others all managed like H+
bands are LTE (B1)2100/(B3)1800/(B7)2600/(B8)900/(B28)700 MHz

Would this be the Chinese version of the t715 (hence the C...sorry if late to the discussion here or missed something already communicated)
https://translate.google.com/transl...UMqaxD5pZefME%2BH%2BnKk9SbX97MmDB&prev=search
Link above from TENAA (China equivalent of the U.S. FCC)
says Network frequency 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2GHz, Band 38, Band 39, Band 40, Band 41 (2555-2575 MHZ, 2575-2635 MHZ, 2635-2655 MHZ), Band 1, Band 3,1.9GHz, I
if so, (maybe?) it could explain the difference in bands/speeds versus the other international t715?
I see the C version is being sold on Amazon here in the U.S
@walleyhenderson, what @Mac231 and I are trying to say is that if you got the SM-T715Y or SM-T715N instead of the SM-T715C then you would have had both LTE and voice calling in most places with T-Mobile (and all places with AT&T).
What you wouldn't have had is band 12 with T-Mobile but that is not T-Mobile's main LTE band and it may not even be deployed where you are anyway.

According to what I can gather, as is the same as it's predecessor the Tab S, the international version is simply called SM-T715/T815. The T715n or T715no is a Korean model.
International versions don't usually have a letter after the model number.
My Tab S is an international version and is simply called a SM-T805.
I agree it's real confusing as to which model is which.

They all usually do have letters after the model name, it's just that it isn't always listed everywhere. Also, "N" is just the first letter. Meaning, that the full model number is actually SM-T715NZKEDBT for the black one and SM-T715NZWEDBT for the white one. Those are the variants of the Tab S2 8" LTE tablet that Samsung officially sells in Germany for example. Not sure where the SM-T715YXXXXX model is officially destined to by Samsung (my guess would be South America).

I'm gonna see if I can find the boxes to my tab s and tab a to see if I can confirm this.
Even Samsung themselves don't add the n to any of their international firmwares or source code, however they do for the rest.
The only official firmware with the n variable is Korean.

Numbersharing with GW3 LTE and Non-Samsung Phone.

It seems that number sharing will not work with non-samsung phones and the GW3 LTE. Does anyone have any idea why and if it is possible to get it working with say my HTC or am I now forced to move to a Samsung Phone..

Is it just a bloody Australian thing?
I don't want to rub salt on wound but it would funny to do so :laugh:. It would for me and wife in the first go itself.
Network: Optus
Phone: S10+ & S20 5G Ultra
So, I tried it on a friends Samsung phone, and then moved it back to my LG, and it works, mostly. Calls and LTE in general work fine. The only thing that is weird is text messaging - if not connected to the phone, then it relies on using it's own phone number. Otherwise, it's good :good:
