[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
To give you a little context, I came over to the T869 from the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which is basically the WiFi-only sibling of the "Plus" T869 that T-Mobile now sells. Being a WiFi only device, it had the "phone" parts of the GUI disabled, like the Phone and Messaging apps won't show up or run and you can't sync BlueTooth headsets. The T869 has the MMS app enabled, but no phone, so the same mod I did on the P3113 is useful on this one.

Thankfully, even though it seems fairly arcane, Wes Foster made a nice utility to make this much easier (and more n00b friendly) to do.

To do this (and other framework mods), first you should pull the framework-res.apk file out of the ROM.zip file you're using. Open the zip and go into /system/framework. In there you'll find framework-res.apk, which you should extract.

Drop that file into the "place-framework-res-here" folder within the Mod tool, then run the tool and enter option 1.

This will unpack the files to the "files-to-edit" folder.

Inside there you'll need to go to \framework-res.apk\res\values\

You'll need to modify the file bools.xml. Find this line and change "false" to "true":

[B]<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>[/B]

Once you make that change, you're all set to "enable" phone features. You can also make other changes as desired.

Here's a partial guide: http://www.igottadroid.com/ModMarket/Listings/Darkside Agent1621289.html

Once you're done modifying the file, save it, and then run through options 2, 3, and 4 on the mod tool.

Once its done, you'll have a flashable ZIP file named "update.zip" inside the final-zip-file folder.

For extra safety, I reccomend making a copy of the update.zip called revert_framework.zip.

Open this copy in 7-Zip, go into the /system/framework folder, and delete the framework-res.apk file there. Replace it with the unmodified one from your ROM, then close 7-Zip. Now you have a second "flashable" ZIP that will put the untouched framework back onto your tablet, which comes in handy if you managed to break something and cannot boot :)

I did not make the tool, and found it in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823701

I am simply reposting it over here since I found it very helpful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] magus57:
I stumbled across this thread when I was about to ask about the international version...is there any chance you could post a video of this in action? Not that I don't believe this works, but I remember following a thread for the T-Mobile Springboard where a few people said a certain update would allow for phone/SMS, but then others who actively tried were unable to do so because of how T-Mobile picks up the IMEI (and doesn't let you use a phone SIM with a tablet).

If this works (and if it also keeps T-Mobile 4G), then this would be a MUCH better solution than buying an international 7.0 Plus (which is not only ~$200 more expensive on average but would only work on 2G on T-Mobile US).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
Well, the T869 has SMS enabled natively. I got a "data only" pay-as-you-go plan for a 4G / WiFi hotspot earlier this year, and recently got the T869 with a contact. Both of these came with a 10 digit phone number for administrative purposes, and even the hotspot had the ability to receive SMS.

This particular trick doesn't do anything to the back end services themselves, so its not like you magically get phone service just by doing this.

I use a combination of SIP and Google Voice to do phone-type stuff without a phone.

I prefer this hack because it enables the native dialer, and pretty much all the good softphone solutions allow you to "integrate" with the native call log & dialer setup, so you just go to the normal "People" app and click someone's phone # and are then given an option to call them.

Without this hack, you must go into whatever 3rd party app you're using and initiate phone calls from there.

Remember, I initially started doing this on my WiFi Only GT-P3113 (which is basically a T869 without 4G or vibration).

I was never able to get the "Native" messaging app to behave quite right. There's a Google Voice SMS Integration app, and it can sync your GV texting into the native SMS app's text history, but it can't (or couldn't) trigger native SMS notifications correctly.

I am kinda over texting in general, as I have it piped through GoogleTalk. I receive SMS at my GoogleVoice phone #, and they are automatically forwarded to GoogleTalk via a third party web service called GVMax, which is free. GV Max is basically a GoogleVoice to XMPP bridge. After federating in my other IM accounts, GoogleTalk is now my one-stop-shop for textual communications.

Just my $0.02.

Isn't the "International" version so-called because its got a quad band radio that works on like any carrier?

Also, I have heard (though this is not confirmed) that the "International" edition doesn't come with an IR blaster, whereas the T869 does. I dunno if that's true or something you'd care about, but food for thought :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] magus57:
Well from what I remember, the reviews I read about the 7.0 Plus were regarding the international version and all of them mentioned an IR blaster - but regardless, that'd be one of my least-used features of the tablet. Kinda disappointed that it'd still only be calls over data - I think I'd pay the extra $200 and suffer 2G speeds (at least until T-Mobile 1900Mhz roll-out comes to Chicago) for GSM calls alone, as I'd rather not deal with a separate data plan or tethering data off my phone to get calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
Yeah that's kindof a deal breaker. Out here in Portland OR we have 4G in most places, and I'm either at work (in an office) or at home 90% of the time, where I have a high speed WiFi hookup, AND I almost never talk on the phone, so the data-only setup is perfect for guys like me.

GSM only would pretty much make that a dealbreaker, since I suspect the audio quality would be pretty terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] magus57:
While I do have a pretty stable 4G connection wherever I go (except for my brother's apartment, where ALL reception is horrible) or have access to my home's faster Wifi connection, and I don't talk much, I still get much better GSM service everywhere and can still get calls when I have to turn off data to save battery (since I use the data connection quite a bit when I'm away from a charger). And I haven't really had complaints with GSM audio or found voice over 4G/Wifi to be much clearer especially when the person on the other end is usually using GSM too..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
I mean if you were doing some sorta data-only internet phone setup like SIP or GrooveIP or something. That's what I am using, and for it to sound alright you need decent bandwidth. Actually I ought to test out my stuff on a 2G connection and see how bad it is :) Should be interesting!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] smnrock:
will this trick work on stock ICS build?

Galaxy t869

Does anyone know if this will allow making "regular" calls using my "regular" SIM CARD?

Thanks,

I seriously doubt it, no way to be truly sure without trying it though.

T869UVLG7 ICS phone call hack

Hey I'm one the noobs mentioned in your post. I'm living in the Bahamas and a proud owner of the T869.First I have no idea what the ROM.zip is and whether this is supposed to be done on a desktop or the tab itself.I am rooted but running UVLG7 ICS UPDATE.It'd be awesome if I could get this working .My sim card is data and 3g/4g ready.Could you please /anyone inform. Thanks to u guys with your mod skills they're mad skills.Thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] boydee:
Thanks mate~~

I did this on the T869 originally locked to T-Mobile, and it worked without a problem~!!!!

PS: >>> Be sure to first wipe cache. I skipped that the first time and i almost created an atomic bomb :)

PPS: >>> Also, the backup revert.zip is a brilliant idea, it's what i used when i messed up the first time! :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] boydee:
Hey mate!

thanks again for the tutorial!

I have followed it to completion.

I however, can only do simple things like loading airtime [our networks are prepaid] and check balance,

but I can't seem to be able to make calls :o

I have an unlocked T869

Hey,

are you trying to follow the tutorial and are having problems???

Please be a little more clear where you're stuck so we can help :)

-accidental double post-
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
Read the thread.

To quote myself: "This particular trick doesn't do anything to the back end services themselves, so its not like you magically get phone service just by doing this."

Also I have upgraded a couple of times since I posted about this crap and no longer use my Samsung (now using a Nexus 7 2013 which is way better)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antflash22:
I am attempting to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my Nexus Q. Because the Q has no native touch/keyboard interfaces I have been controlling it by sending key events via ADB.

I have installed BlueKeyboard JP and need to activate it. That is done under Settings -> Language & Input. I need to check the checkbox next to BlueKeyboard JP. I can't seem to find a keyboard event that will do check the box. I have replicated the issue on my Nexus 7 where I can simply tap the checkbox to toggle it. Using the bluetooth keyboard on my Nexus 7 I am unable to toggle the same checkbox using any key on the physical keyboard. Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidair:
Not sure if it's the same thing, but I was trying to toggle a checkbox using a keyboard connected via USB OTG. Took me a little while to figure it out, but it's as simple as tapping the Enter key. However, you need to make sure the checkbox has focus first by TAB-bing to it.
[HTC One S] boulek:
Guys I have seen lots of reviews of our phone.I own it for two months and I am very pleased with it.In fact in most reviews is faster than other premium phones and except for the screen resolution in terms of characteristics is great.Also its size is great and all these made me choose it between hox and gs3.In fact I had it side by side with hox and in swapping hox fealt heavy and laggy compared to hos.S4 is really great.But, it is not considered to be top range and has lost value pretty easily.Its retail price is close to the others but it is considered cheaper.These facts had made me to reconsider my buy and thinking of changing device.What you guys think?
[HTC One S] SawManiac:
You only want a new phone because your old one lost value, although you consider your phone better then the higher priced ones? What I think is that you are a moron, lolz.
[HTC One S] carlos_abril_94:
Are you happy with it? Don´t change it...
[HTC One S] boulek:
I dont think its better, but I think its equal .But I don't understand why it is so underestimated...That's all
[HTC One S] Diaze:
Get the s3 its way better

Best battery life 6-7hrs screen time
[HTC One S] viator:
Most probably it's because it has flaws, that are unacceptable in a top-notch high end device?

Like the premium extra-durable cover, that needs to be handled with extra care, and it still does not guarantee, that there will be no chipping?

Or the light leaks below the front glass?

Or the squeaking top cover?

Or the ridiculously small storage capacity?

Or the far from perfect video support (I need to have two extra players installed, and I still am not sure if the movie I have just downloaded will play or not)?

The only reason I am still keeping it is the perfect form factor, but every time I notice a new scratch, that appears out from nowhere, I just want to get rid of this expensive piece of crap.
[HTC One S] r1tesh:
Thats y u need to root. I have the rom i ported from HTC ONE S with new kernel..runs just as fast, obviously rooted, overclocked, v6 supercharged and swap enabled minus bloat...u should stay with it. Root it and get the energized from NRGZ8..themed and tweaks..He is one of the best developers:D
[HTC One S] Vauix:
Look at it from a customers point of view, who aren't phone/tech geeks like us. Lets say 60/70% did some homework ad looked around. They decided on andriod over ios. They seen whats on the market and might even watched some youtube clips.

What most people will likely see:

Quadcore > Dualcore (Most people wont know what or S4 can do)

Bigger screen > better form factor. I think most people won't take the time to pick the phone up and hold it. and see how it feels in their hands.

And the one S got a pretty crappy screen regarding resolution/density.

This plus the fact our phone is just about 100 euro's? cheaper than the one X or SIII which excel in all these points.

Most people wont see the elegance of this device. You have to stand still and hold it will you fall in love with the seize, form factor, build quality and design of this device. And I think most wont/will do this when they walk in the phone store, because there are so many choices.

And this is if they disregarded htc completely because their friend, bother, uncle had a htc once and they didn't like that one.
[HTC One S] rvdangel630:
I'm ready to go back to my S2. Scratches appear out of no where. I have never used a screen protector on any of my phones and never got a single scratch. This phone is great but now my screen has scratches and its bothering so bad.
[HTC One S] boulek:
Mine has some drops and dont even one scratch anywhere
[HTC One S] addsfsds:
Get an iphone, it still has it's value here retailing for €749 xD :p
[HTC One S] LenAsh:
I came from a GS2 to One S (S4) - but only for a week. Reasons are, the OLED display is not good enough for me, sorry but it is not up to much in terms of resolution and light output. The black case chips on its own, it seems. I've had and sold several smartphones over the recent years and NEVER had any marks on the case or screen. I'm careful but not anal about it. This phone just made me weep! Finally, the so-called notification LED is a freakin sick joke. Pointless engineering faux-pas.

Now happy with my Sony XS...
[HTC One S] roadstr:
Here are the reasons that tipped my clicker finger to buy the One S...

T-Mobile now has unlimited data and that's switchable between 5G

The One S has 42 Mbps (so does the Samsung S2/3)

Those 2 above provide backed up data at an avg of 18 Mbps in my house. So, AT&T's LTE was eliminated.

One S is a better device for my needs... size and interface

One S has a very bright display that's easier to read

That's only a few. The S3 is a nice plastic phone with a lot of stuff.

The stuff I need and the functionality of using it is on the One S.
[HTC One S] Fredfly:
I debated long and hard and did a lot of research on the One S and the SIII before buying and finally decided on the One S. Couldn't be happier with my decision. The quality and performance of the One S is great. The SIII feels cheap and is so hyped up. I get 6 hours screen on time overclocked at 1.72GHhz and score over 6000 on quadrent. I also like that I can choose between sense and pure android.
[HTC One S] jdwash11:
My gf got the S3 and I got the one S, I'm happy with my choice.

The S3 was too big for my liking and had TouchWiz. I also thought the One S would have better ROM options once I decide to root the phone.

Either way I ended up with a nice upgrade from my MT4G

Has anyone tried tethering with the unlimited data plan just released Sept 5?

In this plan your not allowed to tether but maybe with hasoons hack?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ce3jay:
It should be the same as with the previous data plan. Im sure the workarounds still work. Try this app, I've been using it without issues: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5nb29nbGVjb2RlLmFuZHJvaWQud2lmaS50ZXRoZXIiXQ..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I'm about to try the wifi tether app, though I would make note to use https sites and avoid plain http as much as possible.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
Not working for me my device doesn't show up
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Wifi tether app is working perfect for me, using it atm, about to do a speed test.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
From what I remembered the last time I used WiFi tether apps I couldn't access secured sites. But this was about a year ago.

this would defeat my doubt about https (secure sites) but why do you say avoid plain http? T-mobile being able to detect if you are tethering where secure sites would be protected and no one can tell what you are doing?

Now I'm confused, works or no works lol. Remember this is with the new unlimited data plan and using whatever hacks (most likely hasoons) available.

On another note have you guys tried the old original WiFi tether app from google.code something. I Haven't been up to date.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Okay to answer all your questions.

1. It can access all sites.

2. Yes tmo apparently detect unpaid tethering via the pc useragent on http sites but since they pry into https as it is a secure protocol, they can't detect those but I just used all the various protocols without any issues.

3. Yes it works via the wifi tether app from the play store, it does work via the default tether app on some devices but the newer devices they set it to check your data plan for hotspot, but the wifi tether app gets around that and works fine and no I didn't modify anything, I'm on the stock apn, etc.

Yes I do have the true unlimited plan as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Thank you very much dk! Imma call and make the switch right now !
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
NP buddy.:o
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
So I called and like always we seem to know more than the reps. Somehow that always seems to amaze me :screwy:

Anyways they said since I'm throttled it won't take effect until my new month starts. Which is the 8 so I can wait. But imma try again tomorrow with another rep
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Ignore the throttled comment, buddy of mine was but still got it and his throttled lifted, mine said 4.2gb used of 5gb for a bit then i kicked in properly and I was suddenly completely unlimited, no highspeed cap.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
I throttled to and I changed my plan got 4g in minutes
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvx333:
Tethering works . Just do hassoobs trick.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
Please don't do any crazy downloading or torrents lol Going to have tmobile Hound all of us if they catch on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Actually everyone is doing crazy downloading, the thing about the wifi tether third party app is that it shows your device as being the user of the data and not it being tethered the way the on board hot spot option would, that's why I opt for the third party app than just a fix, that way they can't block your tethering since it's your device showing up on the network and not a pc, imo.
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
What app u using ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
The one that hasoon has posted on his how to fix tmobile tethering thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
So today i set up the fix for tethering that hasoons posted but i did not use it. just set it up only. then right now that I am home from work I am tethering with to my laptop but using the mobile hotspot that comes with the phone. I have the nrg rom stock. I thought that if I used that stock tethering app it wouldnt work? this is weird...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I was looking through some Samsung RDF's this morning and stumbled across a new unannounced phone!

For those that aren't familiar with an RDF they are the development and design specs for a given build on a phone. This one just happens to be for a phone that is not yet out or even announced! EDIT: I have now confirmed with a source of mine that this is in fact the RDF for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2! :D

Some of the cool things I found in the RDF?

Exynos4412 processor

1280x720 resolution

Android 4.1.1!

Support for EVDO, DOrA, WiFi and LTE!

2 GB RAM

16 GB HDD (with expansion slot up to 32 GB)

8 Megapixel camera

And more!

Honestly there's a ton of stuff in there and smarter minds than mine should be able to pull more out of it. This early in the RDF process I'm guessing that this is purely an engineering build and may not even be the final specs but still something to keep an eye out for!

Now for the fun stuff! FYI - The RDF is only viewable in Internet Explorer.

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L900/LI2.rdf

Enjoy!

EDIT: Garwynn has pointed out that the Galaxy Note 2 has specs that are identical to that of the RDF. Check out this article from DroidLife for pictures and info.

Funny that you mentioned this. My guess is the Note 2.

Timing makes sense especially with these as context for it:

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/samsung-sgh-t889-coming-to-t-mobile-as-the-galaxy-note-ii/

It was also announced last week that the Note 2 is coming to the US but no release date was given.

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/2...jelly-bean-and-1-6ghz-exynos-chip/#more-81015

Since we're probably not going to see a rework of the GS3 this year that's the only other possibility.

Specs match it to a T.

"A source claims that similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the top four carriers in United States will offer the

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tenazrael:
You won't - with swype, its so easy to type stuff that it makes little sense to have a qwerty phone these days.... just introduces a higher risk of some small component breaking.

Granted, there are some out there who can't live without a qwerty physical keyboard attached to the phone... but whatever... its only a matter of time.
