[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] subzerobob:
from gsmarena this tablet is 850/1700/2100 antenna see link here: http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_springboard-4233.php [but it doesn't show that it is specifically for s7-303u...} gsmarena are very reliable with their info.

from pdadb.net it shows that this tablet [s7-303u - it is specifically listed as T-Mobile and that particular model# is mentioned] is 1700/1900/2100 antenna http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3160&c=t-mobile_huawei_s7-303u_springboard_4g

- however pdadb.net has been known to give the wrong information...

Bottomline, potentially this is an amazing device with no other like it, if someone figures out how to put a phone.apk on a stock ICS OTA updated firmware.

Yeah?! Did anyone do that? or what else can we do? It's gatta be something so simple! I can't believe that nobody has quite figured it out yet...

Man I feel your frustration! I've tried side loading some phone.apk apps but to no avail. Plus I am an amateur in this myself, and I have no problem with the stock ROM at all! All I am asking for is a way to have the phone app appear somewhere! I don't want to mess around with the international ROMs, because I don't want to change my T-Mobile data plan that I use on my Galaxy phone. Plus the radios for this tablet seem to be awesome. Going to a hacked ICS ROM would seem like downgrading the tablet and what it is "theoretically" supposed to be able to do.

Just on a side note - I know that I can overwrite system apps,just like I did with the system dictionary/ spell checker from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1595760&highlight=+spell+check+

So why can't some of the wise guys figure out something with the phone.apk??

Yes sir! I am with you on that one! Why can't it be as simple as replacing an apk or something?! This tab will be better than the Galaxy Note if people just saw its potential!

Yes put it somewhere in the system/xbin - but where? Which file? How exactly? Detailed instructions - Please! I need help!

Regarding the easiest way to root this thing, I read these three posts and I somehow got mine to root!

I didn't do step 11, forget it! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850367

some basic adb stuff in case you don't know http://www.androidguys.com/2010/11/23/adb-android-debug-bridge/

I like the 5 easy step process here, but just read it to get the idea, don't use the files, they are not for this device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852905

for "device not found error:" and also it contains a "tutorial" [very easy steps] to set-up just an adb that actually works [none of the other extra fancy shmency tools stuff] http://www.dominantwire.com/2012/11/how-to-solve-adb-device-not-found-error.html

So now I am doing sideloading and adfree.apk and what have you, but amazon instant video app still doesn't install... I did the flash player though, and it is cool because I can watch Hulu directly from the website where as with JB (their sorry version of chrome) wants you to do get Hulu Plus and pay for it! What a rip off!

ICS all the way! Don't ever upgrade to JB! Ever! Just download the flash player from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.112.60/install_flash_player_ics.apk

I bought this tablet for $85 from amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-S7-P...373759777&sr=1-2&keywords=tmobile+springboard

and it is almost LIKE NEW!! WAY BETTER AND CHEAPER THAN THE GALAXY NOTE!!! If you guys help me to figure out the phone.apk stuff and the split screen (if it is easy, otherwise - forget it!) Also I would like the accuweather that I have on my galaxy, but somehow it doesn't sideload on the springboard either... go figure... Amazon Instant Video app doesn't side load either... What a bummer...
