So what are you apn settings they are settings>wireless and networks>Mobile networks>Access point names

there they are, I need to know what you have there, the whole thing. I have a regular tablet data plan and it doesn't work for me i think because i still have the broken go-phone apns.

Data plan Galaxy tab 7.7 International version

I have the international version of the Galaxy Tab 7.7. If you have this one ... Ijust got a simple mobile sim card they offer unlimtted data 3g for $40 a month includes unlimitted text and talk... Its on t-mobile's network and the 3G does work. (The intl version of the tab 7.7 has the 1900/2100/ bands...... If you pay $60 a month they add the 4G coverage however I don't know if the bands are compatable so I stuck with the 3G.. Now i have used it with my AT&T sim and i got very good speeds..... 3G and up.....

also note that H2O wireless usese AT&T network and they have a good plan .. just check it out.

the thing about straigt talk is you need to purchasae the Nokia E71 or e70 (i forgot the model) or a data phone in order to swap your sim card to your tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
How can you get voice+3g using simple mobile if it runs on tmobile network? Tmobile does not support voice+3g on tabs.

Can anyony actually confirm if you need to buy phone with straight talk in order to use on tab, another user stated that he got tab to work with straight talk and never mentioned about needing to buy phone.

Why cant we just get a straight answer. I know either straight talk and simple mobiles customer support is not good so it will be usseless trying to ask them. Im about to switch to straight talk and if i need to buy one if their phones just to activate the sim is not good news to me, i already wasted $75 on gophone unlimited sim to find out it does not work with smartphones. I just need a straight answer not too much to ask for.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Did you need to buy the straight takk nokia phone in order to activate sim?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dawgfan:
http://Www.straighttalksim.com/

As I've already stated, it works well for me. You can't go to Walmart and buy a sim nor do you need a phone. Go to that address and all your questions will be answered but to make it simple for you, I ordered sim from that address, activated it and put it in my 3G 7.7. It works well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Thank you for that, I don't know why people post a phone is needed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] alynch75:
Simple Mobile

Yes you can get 3G on simple mobile in areas where the 1900/2100 bands are being used.

Yes the phone feature will work....

No you will not get to surf and talk on the device at the same time. If you are on a call you won't be able to surf and talk however when your call is over you can get 3G data and edge data where 3G is unavailabe.

the entire thing about surfing and talking at the same time is over rated and it was marketed just right.... as you can see so many people are hungry for it while a few years ago it was not a big deal...

On another note... No I did not call simple mobiel and tell them I was using a tablet. I purchased the sim card .... activated my account with a Samsung Vibrant and swaped out the sim card...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
No looking to talk and surf at the same time, all i was saying is that tmobile does not offer 3g+voice, unless you live on the west coast it seems, only edge+voice and thats what we get in the east coast at the moment so simple mobile is not an option.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] alynch75:
The 3G does work with Simple mobile sim card. I am using it right now.........My location is WAshinton DC, MD area. EAST COAST

For those that have a Straight Talk...My data is working and the speed seems to be respectable, however, when using the Speedtest application, I do not get any download speeds higher than 9kbps, but again, it seems to work much faster.

Besides the APN settings that they told you to change, do you have the following set as well:

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN Type: internet+mms+supl

APN Protocol IPv4

Do you have those as well or are they different?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
For those using straight talk sim with the tab are you guys having issues sending picturw messages(mms)? I cant send any.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
So it seems that i was sent a tmonile sim card and that is why in was having issues with the mms messaging, i just received a different sim, one for unbranded unlocked gsm device, and everything is up and running.

I wonder why they two different set of sims:

Pink for tmobile phones

Blue for unbranded unlocked gsm devices

Not sure what they use for ATT phones.

Also noticed that the APN would be different based on what sim you request.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shurafa:
I have tested this out with my iPhone Sim (and a sim card adapter) and it works perfectly!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bravomail:
Didn't work for me. I cannot even use SMS with their unlimited $45 plan. Data is down as well. I'm on Straighttalk AT&T SIM card. Customer support reset the options on their side twice, but it didn't help. I tried two different phones with this SIM card to no avail.

:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
what color sim do you have, blue or pink? they offer at least 2 different sims based on what devise you have:

Unlocked GSM Devise: i received a blue one (for my tab)

T-Mobile Phones:i received a pink one (for my wifes phone)

not sure what they will send for ATT phones
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ccollins21:
make sure you have the proper sim card for your phone if your phone is a branded at&t phone get the at&t sim card if you have a branded t mobile phone get the t mobile sim card etc I have the Samsung Skyrocket bought the att sim card and put in the proper apn settings for an at&t branded phone. Im sure if you have a t mobile phone the APN will be different go to straighttalksim and go to support for the apn settings. I had simple mobile with the HTC Sensation and I have no complaints with the phone or service but I won't be going back my Skyrocket is faster has better coverage and my bill is cheaper I went from paying $60 to $45 and still have unlimited 4g data even though my Skyrocket is LTE enabled and im in a LTE market im only getting HSPA+ speeds but its still a lot faster than my Sensation and any sprint 4g phone everything works flawlessly

Two things:

1. Please use some punctuation. Separating sentences and thoughts with commas, semicolons, and periods makes your posts much easier to read, and avoids the issue where you sound like a breathless, babbling adolescent girl.

2. What does any of that have to do with the international, unbranded device that is the focus of this forum? I don't think the P6800 even supports AWS, so you would usually be limited to EDGE on T-Mobile regardless of SIM.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] USMC44:
Received my sim card from straight talk & was up and running in like 10 minutes. Activated by phone call, you do not need a cell phone to activate, placed in device & it worked instantly. Put in APN info which came with the sim card & text, mms worked flawlessly. Easy peasy.

Wanna thank all the guys who contribute in this forum cuz you are invaluable.:)

So, AT&T and Straight Talk seem to be the most popular choices? I just traded my Wifi 7.7 for a 3g, have never used SIM cards before as I've always been on sprint. Thinking about switching to AT&T and swapping my SIM card as needed with whichever phone I end up getting. I wish there was a cheap 1gb-2gb max data only plan so that I could just keep a SIM in my 7.7 without bothering to swap :\

Pay as you go

Hi,

I have read the whole thread and it seems everyone is looking for an unlimited data plan. I am mainly using wifi and I would like a 3G plan that I can activate for the day (I've read something related to AT&T, 2$ per day).

Does anyone have some recommendations?

Thanks,

C.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] neo21:
Regarding T-Mobile 3G & Voice...you only get 2G/Edge + Voice...

But they offer a no-contract pay-as-you-go 30 USD per month unlimited data, unlimited text + 100 talk minutes plan...again, you are limited to EDGE...but still a valid option for some (checking emails on the go, texting a lot, surfing mobile websites with Opera etc.)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bedwa:
I believe there is one of those as well. AT&T won't recognize it as a smartphone (hasn't for over a week on me.....) and you can use that. The only disadvantage of the $2 plan is I believe its only talk/txt. Not data. You'd have to go with their $50 all in one.

My Tab makes phone calls yo! (GT-P6800)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] connor32:
What about these prepaid options by TMobile?

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/pay-by-the-day-cell-phone-plans

I understand the limitation (not 3G but Edge) but if I can activate data only when I am not on wifi (proabably once every few weeks) it would be perfect for me.

Thanks!

C.

UPDATE:

I think I've just found the answer to my question here: http://support.t-mobile.com/message/121563

It seems that the TMobile pay by the day plans are working fine with the Galaxy tab 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] connor32:
Quick update: I ordered a TMobile sim card via their website (1$ + taxes) and I have activated the 2$ pay by the day plan.

Everything is working fine (2G only), if anyone is interested I got these results using speedtest:

DL: 161kbps, UL: 125kbps, PING: 371ms

Yes, it is slow but again, for my requirements this is the best I could find.

Try simple mobile ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Everybody should def try straight talk, their $45 unlimited everything is great, have been running it for over 3 months. I am on the east coast near nyc and service is excellent so far.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
On straight talk here. LOVE IT! It took me 3 weeks to reach the invisible line in the sand on the 'unlimited' data plan...still getting excellent signal, but I can tell I'm being throttled...that said, I still have service and can still watch youtube videos, stream netflix and pandora...so even with the throttle, its still usable.

They'll send you txt message ads that you can't reply 'STOP' to opt-out. You have to call. Their customer service is based in the philipines, but they're excellent despite the language barrier. It took a 10 minute phone conversation to opt out of txt ads, instead of a 10 second "STOP" opt-out.

I'd recommend straight talk to anybody. They're leasing spectrum from at&t so the coverage is the same, but they're WAY undercutting them on the plans they offer. Unlimited* everything from straighttalk for $45/month is the way to go.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] connor32:
It seems like data plans are NO LONGER offered for the 2$day or 10c/min plans.

This means that you have to go for the 25$ monthly plan and buy a data package on top of that. Bummer.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zippy1970:
I had posted this question in the AmericanAndroid thread first (since that's the ROM I'm using) but then I figured this might be a general problem with Android/HD2 so I figured I post my problem here as well.

When I first installed Android on my HD2, the proximity sensor did not work at all. Then suddenly along the way it started working properly. I have no idea why or what I did that made it work. I use Leppie Proximity Sensor Recalibrator to check the operation of the proximity sensor (it displays "NEAR" when I move my finger close to the sensor, and "FAR" when I move my finger away).

The other day I noticed the screen wouldn't come on when in call and when I moved the phone away from my ear. Checking with Leppie's, I saw it toggled from FAR to NEAR when I moved my finger towards the proximity sensor, but it would then stay on NEAR. It would never switch back to FAR. Then quite by accident, I found out it would work perfectly if I hold the phone face down.

This hasn't anything to do with the light sensor, since I've tried in a dark room with the same results. Face up and the proximity sensor does not work. Face down, it does.

Anyone any ideas?

What they should have done was go the XT9 keyboard route and provide a toggle to switch between directional pad and keyboard rather than display both at the same time. Displaying both makes the keys smaller than Swype.

Well I like the material and footprint of the Ipad's smart cover. I have seen one case that was a similar material, but had terrible reviews and I think fit into the dock holes. I want a simple cover that can stay on when I'm using the dock, and doesn't have random grips all over the place.

My situation is desperate.

When 2.3.5 update on Samsung Galaxy S finally arrived, I've rooted my phone as seen on androidadvices.com. This version is not stable so I wanted to go back to stock ROM but in the mean time my HOME button stopped working.

So, there I was, not able to go to download mode to flash stock ROM. Than I googled that you can go to download mode through adb and I did and flashed backed stock ROM.

AND THEN, IN AN ACT OF ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY, I'VE GONE TO RECOVERY MODE THROUGH ADB.

And now I can't get out. My phone is working, software is ok, only HOME button is not working. ADB dont see phone any more and phone is always rebooted in recovery mode.

Ok, so I've searched around and not seen this one. Everything works fine in my stock rooted ROM, but when I flash to CM7 (that's any derivative of like barebones, SKSK, or stock CM7) or one of the ICS Roms I can't log into the Amazon Market app. It says to "Please enter a valid email and or password", which I am doing.

I saw a thread on a different site that said that I had reached my device limit on Amazon so to log in on the computer and delete some devices off my registered kindle device list. I did this deleting all of them and it still wont let me register the Amazon app store in CM7 or ICS.

Any thoughts as to why this is? :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Ok...this is going to sound completely outrageous! It seems outrageous to me even :) I have never had this good of battery consumption ever! The phone was purchased 16/08/10 and has retained the standard battery all this time and had various Samsung ROMs on it. Mostly DarkyROMs that have improved battery quite considerably. It currently has its first stable ROM of ICS since I started flashing ICS from just prior to RC1. The ROM is a bit of a mix-matched frankenstein build of a ROM by me originated from MyICS and OneCosmis RC3.1. I have recently experienced allot of issues (including very poor battery drain) prior to this last flash and so have many of my users...actually most jumping **** (and I don't blame them).

My last ROM flash seemed to stable and go through perfectly, I was running with my own 2.0.1 and was about to release this ROM (that I'm currently on from a system dump) as a 2.2.0 version update for everyone else.....however I have held back because of the announcement of RC4.....so any of the improvements I haven't released. The install procedure backs up battery stats so as not to need re-calibration and has done so for the last 3 or 4 install. I am running the latest platypus kernel made for RC4 though:cool:

Anyway the last time I had my phone on any decent charge 22hours ago. It's currently 10.40pm EST and phone went on charge about 12.30pm lastnight. Since then I have had data left on (something I wouldn't normally do...I was used to renaming APN prior to ICS) and wifi on* (granted I have latest Juice defender ultimate)

*set to trained locations to auto-on within 250m of known wifi access point and disable 3G when wifi connected

I have gone the whole day today, with a small amount of internet (damn genie widget gets me every time with cool interesting things flashing up on the screen lol:D) and moderate phone usage; texting and a hand full of 10-15min phone calls....nothing out of the ordinary.

I plugged the phone to USB to transfer some things from work and it was plugged in for approximately 15-20seconds. I use multi-mount SD card app (I have included the lite version in my ROM) and allows for fast transactions and also to be able to use the phone whilst connected etc (read up about it). And I did the same here at home to transfer the things off again. It has remained sitting beside my PC untouched (unusual cause I like to fiddle) for the last 3 hours...and decided to pick it up and glaced at the battery 90%:eek:. Ok so I waited another hour and glanced again and STILL 90%.

Is there something weird going on here that I should know about? My phone has never been this good even if I left it completely on standby and in flight mode it would have eaten more than that! It seems almost stupidly impossible.

Fill me in on your take of this situation? Happy to do a complete system dump to try figure this sh!t out cause I made so many mods last ROM update I wouldn't know which one is contributing or if all or none?:confused:

"...Do NOT use earlier versions Ace Hack Kit (12.x and lower) on Inspire or DHD devices shipped with Gingerbread.

- Do NOT attempt to downgrade a Inspire or DHD shipped with Gingerbread with a Froyo RUU..."

That means that Gingerbread shipped phones are supported but have to be carefull not to do certain things such as installing eng S-OFF. You have to read the effen manual as well and you will find out all you need to know....you shouldn't have opened a thread with a question that is self contained in the Hack Kit thread and the effen manual.
