I would like to says thanks to clubtech for link to purchase unbranded 3G tab 7.0 plus. Also thanks to xda for our own section here.

Just got my tracking number, I super excited, but I know to be cautious with AT&T data. Has anyone tried popping their AT&T SIM into one of these. I currently have grandfathered unlimited smartphone ( not iphone ) data. Currently I have a Dell Streak 7 4G, and I havent gotten any notices/ had any problems. So Im -hoping- I can just pop in my AT&T SIM with voice and smartphone unlimited and I'll be good to go as this model Im expecting is unlocked. I would be uber stoked!

Anyone have any suggestions to be stealthy and avoid getting bagged?

anyone tried a similar setup in USA with this device?

.... just want to be "safe" as possible. Thank You guys, Im sure I wil be very active in the forums when my device gets running.

:D

sure, here: http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Samsung,P6200,Galaxy,Tab,7,0,Plus,333168.php?prod=333168

enjoy.

Im hoping I'll go undetected by AT&T as there are still some 1st gen gtab users with voice and unlimited smartphone data , correct??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
Thanks, coincidentally it's the same company I had found a couple of days ago. I even contacted them ( and they promptly replied to my questions ) asking a couple of questions.

Did u receive your tab yet ? What shipping method did U use ? Did you have any problem with custom , clearing it ? Did you have to pay any custom duty ? This was my bigger concern since the item is coming from Malaysia. In the past I've bought several things from China, Hong Kong and never had a custom problem. But never bought anything from Malaysia. This is copy of their correspondence :

===================================================================

As for AT&T, I do not live in the USA but I am there often. And I've always used a GoPhone SIM card. I even use it in the old Galaxy Tab 7 , that I bought from AT&T and promptly flashed with an European Rom, and unlocked , so I could use it as a phone. I buy Pay as you go data packages.

edit : I noticed that you just got your tracking number, so I guess you have not received the tab yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jay_jay_n:
When u get it, could u pls test if it will work on tmobile? The frequencys listed on the ipmart site doesn't seem like it supports there frequency =\ thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] clubtech:
got mine.. used FedEx and it was here in 3 days.. No customs issues at all.

It will not work now t-mobile because the frequencies are not compatible. I am using mine on at&t and it works well as my area has 1900mhz coverage.

Fyi they are shipping the white model, not the black model as shown not their website.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
3 days.. you lucky son of a gun.. j/k . I was thinking they might ship white, oh well I got a black carbon fiber skin that should take of that :), so voice and data are working good on AT&T. I neeeeed this thing, groove ip and sipdroid on my dell streak 7 are flaky. what kind of download speeds you got clubtech? Im in hartford CT and in good areas, im getting 7-nearly 8 mpbs down on dell streak 7, normally around 4 or so.

mine just completed through customs :) whew had me nervous for a while.. im using DHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
Hmmm, I'd love to get a white model. Thanks for the feedback, I'll order mine shortly. As you can see from the Ip mart reply they claim that they do not have the white model ........... I guess the guy answering the messages does not really know :

=========================================

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aenokea:
I can simply insert my ATT iphone sim into the sim card slot and use this tablet like my phone? If thats true then Im definitely going to order this. Anyone have any issues ordering from iPmart?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] clubtech:
They are probably not aware of the color as it is being sent from a 3rd party. I definitely got the white version.. I wanted the black one but the white one will do as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aenokea:
Took a chance and placed my order. I hope mine gets here with no problems.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulvers:
I recently changed ROMs to Synergy, and ever since my LTE switch is showing options that dont apply to my phone, namely GSM and seems to be missing LTE as a choice to select.

It used to say CDMA, LTE, or both, but now its showing WCDMA, GSM only, GMS/CDMA, or Unknown.

Anyone know what might have caused the change?

Thanks!

[HTC Sensation XL] stefaan:
Got my XL a couple of days ago and like it a lot.

Just have one problem : How do I change the email notification sound? All other notification sounds I can change, except the one for incoming emails.

In the mail App, settings I can switch off the notification, but not change it.

Can anybody help?
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
Try this go to

Personalise - Sound - Notification Sound - Email - . Then the different notification sound list will come up.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation XL] stefaan:
Thanx for the quick reply.

Indeed, that was what I was looking for. Don't understand how I missed it.

Thanks again

[HTC EVO 3D] ls3c6:
Any way to make the notification LED function while device is charging? My BB would charge but also show notifications / blinks.

Any way to get an audible beep in the earpiece when new sms/data msg is recieved? BB did this, cannot find the option on this.

Any way to map a button/icon to the notifications box so I don't always have to drag it down?
[HTC EVO 3D] drousy:
Well I'm sure you've learned by now there are a few things that are annoying at first when switching from BB to android!

There's a post in XDA started by FlyGuySF -"[Q] EVO 3D LED Notifications while charging?" They reference a post at http://xdaforums.com/show...48&postcount=1

May or may not work.

I saw on some other forums there is an app in the market called NoLED which might work however I think that just lights up the whole screen.

Other than that I'd just search google til my eyes turned blue! I've learned to live with it tho... I'm addicted to my phone anyway so I'm constantly checking it. Good luck!

In regards to the beep.. I'm not sure on that one. But for notifications, you can either hit the menu button and hit notifications or try an alternate home style. I use go launcher ex which is free and you can customize everything. There's a setting you can enable that you can swipe down pretty much anywhere on the homescreen (not just specifically on the bar) and it will drop your notification menu.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickypimp:
Hi

i have recently picked up a pandawill Gpad G10 telechips 8902 arm II based pad to mess around and try to learn some cool stuff (rooting flashing and the like)with save my dhd from being killed when working at the bench in the laboratory..

It shipped with eclair which had its limitations, i have succeeded in rooting the device and flashing a gingerbread rom onto the unit which is much nicer, is is a beta 2 release but largly does what i want but for one problem....

when the pad is plugged into the mains or connected to USB it is fine, you cn use the device as you should be able to, however, when running on battery power, the device if left goes into hibernation mode and will not recover..

whislt i appreciate this is a vague question i am gonna put it out there... is there anything i can do to remedy this problem ?

there are that many different versions of this pad and rebrands it is tough to know which roms will work... i have seen videos of g10's running cyanogen roms but the attempts i have made to install these have bricked the tablet, i have had to format the lot and start again from scratch..

any help humbly and gratefully received
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickypimp:
wow ... what a response...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
Hi guys just wanted to let you know I found a way to get a working free mobile hotspot from Big Red using the same method as the Bionic's (thanx to who ever found this). Anyway I made a quick video for the the Razr. As for those wondering about Big Red watching you, I used 43 gb last month and 32 gb so far this month Also here's an article from XDA about throttling legalities on 4g networks. Can't say for sure, I'm no lawyer but it looks legit.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rebelwolfdragon:
Worked perfectly. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Your account can be flagged, and Verizon can either sue you for illegally using (read: stealing) their services, throttle you permanently, or just be nice and just tack on the tethering price to your monthly bill without telling you.

This is illegal, don't do it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ad78:
looks like you copied zedomax post man...

i am 1addictsad78 and i just found a way to resolve to endless loop by changing the MTU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdTOOfogAaU
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
So, we should stay away from this procedure???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] x2breakoffate:
This is NOT illegal, in my mind, if you have payed for a certain amount of data. You are not stealing their services because hot spotting is NOT their service. It is a a feature built into your phone that they blocked so they could charge you extra. Period. Even if this was illegal, you can always root and install a tethering app. At that point, I'd like to see them explain why this is still a service provided by then.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rebelwolfdragon:
You are probably correct. I changed the setting back after testing because I don't need any legal issues (or an increase in my bill), but for people who don't care or think they won't get caught, the procedure at least appears sound...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ad78:
i have a massive data when i started using the thunderbolt with open garden tether. I'm a netflix guy and use as a modem to my apartment for over 6months and never get flagged. now i have the droid razr doing this Verizon hotspot too.

grandfathered rules!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Santoro:
It's not a matter of legality. It's not illegal.

It's a matter of ethics. Are you willing to break the Terms of Service that you signed agreement with when you bought the service? And are you willing to deal with Verizon's reaction when they find out? If they add a tether charge to your account, you earned it.

@ x2breakoffate, you have paid for unlimited phone data. You have not paid for ANY tether data. They sold it to you with the data blocked. If you didn't like that you should not have bought a phone that was crippled.

What you offered is a lame attempt to make yourself feel better, not a justification.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
If any of you would read the full post and the associated links, you would know about the Block C provision. I've used it for a couple months on the Bionic and had no problems.

@ ad78.....I'm sorry it wasn't clearly stated that this was not my own work and I copied it from the Bionic

@ everyone else: Stated I am no lawyer but I can say for those like me on the UNLIMITED DATA PLAN, yes I think it's BS that they lock down the devices and limit tethering to a usb. As posted earlier http://goo.gl/cL3L1 it is illegal under Block C to limit or throttle 4g devices.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
You can throttle Block C devices for reasonable network management reasons (you using a 100 GB of data per month and therefore causing data congestion is one of those reasons).

And yes, it is illegal to use a paid service without paying for it.

I could tap into DirectTV's cable service and use it for free somehow, or get channels that I'm not paying for...is it simply a moral dilemma because they lock it down "simply because they want to charge me money" for them?

Terms of use aren't just a wall of text there because they want to put it there, it's a legally binding document that you AGREED to (which is the equivalent of signing). They CAN sue you for "pirating" their officially branded tethering service on their network. That's what you're doing. You're disabling the check in THEIR software to make sure you have the tethering plan, and you're using THEIR officially branded service, through THEM, without paying THEM. That is illegal.

The only difference between this and pirating a version of Microsoft Office and disabling the serial check is the fact that it's more easily monitored since all of the stolen data you're sending is going through their servers, possibly with something attached that tells Verizon that you're tethering.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
There is no difference to phone data and tether data.

It's all just information sent by the TCP-IP protocol.

It is like buying a book, but you are only allowed to read it outside because you have not payed for the ability to read it by artificial light.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dch921:
Its still stealing bottom line. If you can afford a smartphone you should be able to afford internet at home or just pay extra for a tethering plan.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
But in order for this to not count towards you're data is if you're on the grandfather plan and rooted right? Cuz if ur on a 4gb plan then you're data would count correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
With a net income of over 3 billion, I don't think it hurts them that much from the very few root user users and even fewer heavy 4g users.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
Not sure what you mean. Basically I was grandfathered in on 3g unlimited so I fell into the unlimited 4g plan. Yes you have to be rooted to use this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
Yea I meant the unlimited data plan. That's the only way you can use the tether hack because if your not on the unlimited data then if you use this hack you're data will count right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rudy_Ruettiger:
or you could just download the latest android wifi tether app from google. it works perfectly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
No, it's like buying basic cable and expecting to get all of the channels. It's all just data sent by the cable line after all!!!

Right, let's just all steal food from Walmart, it's a multi-billion dollar retail chain, it won't hurt much.

Honestly, if you're going to tether, at least use a 3rd party app. Using their software to steal free service is like peeing on a cop car and expecting to get away with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
Ok but if you use a 3rd party app to tether its still using your data allowence right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Yeah.. It'll use data no matter what.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
It doesn't magically hide how much data you use. It just says that your phone (isp I believe) has the right to use the $20 mobile Hotspot Tether for free.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
So....I can use the USB tether but not wirelessly....can anyone tell me what's the difference?? I'd love to know. Same data going to the same place.....seems a rather foolish argument going on here. And my wife would love to know that this phone is doing something "free". As it is, I sure as hell am paying alot for the data regardless if it's on the phone,wired or whatever!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
You're not getting any "free" data. It's the same data you use only this hack activates the Wifi tethering capability. On USB tethering you are limited to only one device. This unlocks it for up to 8 devices which Verizon feels you should pay for. IMO you shouldn't because you bought the phone and it should work as advertised or as the manufacturer says it should.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Guys, I bought this TV, and I bought this blu-ray player. I should legally be allowed to download free movies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Movies are a seperate entity. Data....is not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wrexus:
Wireless data is a limited resource. Verizon has priced the plans with the assumption that hotspot tethering is not included. I.e. the typical user will only use 1gig of the usual 2gig allotment. If wireless hotspot was included without additional fee, the average usage for a typical user might increase to 1.5gig for example. In this case, they would need to charge 50 percent more for the same 2gig of service.

Therefore by separating out the wireless hotspot they are able to keep the price lower since bandwidth is a limited commodity. Your argument that you paid for the data and should be able to do whatever you want with it doesn't hold as a result.

By using wireless hotspot outside of what you agreed upon when you signed with Verizon, you are stealing and causing the rest of us to pay for your extra usage.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jkoldha:
And if you bought a TV with DLNA you would want it to work and not have to pay for it right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Not if DLNA was a paid service, like tethering.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Don't use any extra bandwidth tethering or not, regardless of whether it goes over the AIR or through a CORD...so your argument is entirely without merit. Now if I were using it to get, say, 7 other people connected and THEY were using the data like mad, yea you got a argument. I'm not, there is no others and what I'm paying for is the same going over the air or through a wire. I'm using the data I PAID for....whether it's over the air or through a cord is irrelevant....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
My argument is, they said in their TOS that you agreed to that you can't do it. And you're doing it anyway. Which is illegal. No matter how you phrase it, it's illegal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
I'm using my data wether it's wirelessly transmitted or via cord is up to me. They can prove that I'm using something illegal. Last I checked it's not illegal to use the data that you pay for.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
You're paying for data, not tethered data. Verizon charges extra for tethered data. You're hacking to get tethered data for free (which, additionally, is a breach of a contract you agreed to). You're pirating/stealing/not honoring your contract.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbsal:
Sounds like tson works for verizon jesus are u serouis blasted this guy for using data on a unlimted plan that he pays for ok so hot spot or thethering is extra its a scam its the same data just my opinoin but you know what they say about opinoins :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Opinion or not it's illegal to steal. No, I don't work for Verizon (wow, seems like that's the first thing to come out of someone's mouth when they encounter someone with morals!)

I can think it's perfectly fine to kill someone, doesn't change the fact that it's illegal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Do you speed? That's illegal. Jaywalk? That's illegal. Feed the monkeys at the zoo? May not be illegal but can get you kicked out of the zoo. Take candy from kiddies? So lock me up for using the same data I'm paying for without wires....:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
It's not illegal, but it is a violation of the ToS. Big difference, there.

I can easily see this as being questionable if you're on an unlimited plan as those plans are designed for phone only usage. On a limited plan, though, I don't get why it would be an issue. I paid for 4GB of data, so why does Verizon care how I use those 4GB? When I had a T-Mobile Streak 7, I paid for 5GB unthrottled and they would leave Android's WiFi hotspot functionality in there no charge. I pay for data, I get data. They shouldn't care if it's via the tab or a laptop.

But unlimited data is another matter. They design their networks around certain usage predictions, and they assume phone only data for unlimited plans. Still, with these things being able to stream Netflix legitimately, I can't imagine you'd be doing too much worse with a tethered device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
the tos/eula are legally binding documents. it's illegal to violate them. You can be sued. period. whether you decide to continue doing it anyway is your choice but don't push your personal opinion on "how big of a deal it is" as if that will make it legal somehow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
Yes, but it isn't a breach of government law; it's a breach of contract. It's not illegal in the sense of it being criminal. Of course you can be sued for it, though, since it's a breach of contract.

I don't use tethering at all, so I'm not justifying what I do; just saying it's not the same as stealing. Stealing is a criminal offense. Sorry if I gave anyone the wrong idea and made it sound like this can't have consequences; it most certainly can. Whether or not it will is up in the air.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
It's still stealing on top of a breach of contract. It's, like I said before, just like taking channels from DirecTV that you did not pay for by intercepting signals with hacked access cards, but paying for normal service so you don't feel as bad. It's called piracy - ask them, they've sued plenty of people over it (I believe over 10,000 as of 3 years ago)

Yeah, the satellites are sending all of the data to you.

Yeah, they're charging you for the additional data just to make money, but are still sending it to you either way.

Yeah, you (possibly) own the receiver/phone so you can do what you want with it within reason.

Yeah, it sounds like a scam when you think about it.

Yeah, it's still illegal.

And everything above applies to tethering as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ojo8:
I never understood why people on XDA are so strongly against unauthorized tethering but practically everyone turns a blind-eye when it comes to restoring a phone back to stock for the purposes of making a warranty claim.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
okay that I can attest to being guilty of. mostly because they'll never know... ;x
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dakota0206:
From what I have read most people don't support that either.
