[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
The Dialer is part of Phone.apk, which won't show up on the T869 normally even if its "installed".

There's a file within framework-res.apk (which is found @ /res/values/bools.xml) which essentially tells the Android OS what features the host device does and does not have. The relevant value is <bool name="config_voice_capable">.

By default the T869 will have:

<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>

Changing that to

<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>

Tells the OS that the device is "voice capable", meaning it can make & receive phone calls. This will then allow the Phone.apk features to show up, provided you have Phone.apk installed.

The process of modifying framework-res.apk is somewhat complicated, and your ROM may or may even have Phone.apk present, depending on what you are using. However, at least now you know why you have no dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
I actually did follow your guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1872348 to try to get my native dialer but never got it to work. I know that it should work, but I get endless crashes/reboots if I enable voice capabilities for my tab .. All apps crash seconds from startup. What exact ROM do you have which works for enabling the native dialer? I'm running the official ICS build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
I pretty much only use CM10. Aorth has nightly builds of it. The last "good" CM10 is cm-10-20130118-UNOFFICIAL-t869.zip, which you can get here: http://goo.im/devs/aorth/roms/t869/

I'm curious, what purpose does retrieving the IMEI serve anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Well my tablet has the generic IMEI as stated above. Since about 2 days ago, my tablet hasn't been able to connect to the T-Mobile network. I have had the generic IMEI for some time and it has worked. Now either T-Mobile has decided to start blocking the IMEI from the network or my tablet is physically damaged.

I have bars, I can search for networks and it will find T-Mobile and AT&T, I've tried different SIMs with different plans and also checked the SIMs in other phones and they work. Can you connect to the T-Mobile network with the generic IMEI or do you still have your original IMEI?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DivinityCycle:
I appear to have my "real" IMEI. I have used CM10 nightlies on this tab pretty much since day 1. Have had no problems connected to the T-Mo data network. I would imagine if the IMEI is messed up you should be able to RMA that device, which sucks :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
find an app called 'any cut' this will allow you to access all the intents and action your device is capable of.

One of them should be service mode.

be careful....

also , if you really want this I would definetly talk to these guys.. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-plus-imei-efs-repair/

JTAG'd my GT-P6200. I know yours is the Tmobile variant, but he usually has success with new products, etc.

I would ask him.

He is in Texas US of course..

good luck..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Ok, It's confirmed: T-Mobile has started blocking the generic IMEI from their network. At least that's what I conclude from finding a thread on reddit(can't link but you can google the title) from 3 days ago, exactly when I started having the problem:

Anyone else running a custom ROM and have your IMEI reset to 004999010640000? T-Mobile likely blocked your phone today.

DivinityCycle, Just checked again and your bools.xml edit only works with CM10. I've gotten it successfully going on CM10, but the code that gets entered in the dialer only works on a TouchWiz ROM, as noted in the original thread :facepalm:

When I try the same thing on stock GingerBread / ICS I get endless application crashes / freezes so that basically i can't do anything, even launch an app, not to mention enter a code.

chrisrotolo, AnyCut - Managed to install it and create a shortcut to the ServiceMode action but when I execute that shortcut it crashes and nothing happens.

Any other tips?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
you could also try factory mode, which will bring up a calculator.

From there enter the *#*# dialer code to get you into service mode...i forget it off hand but i have posted it numerous times,

also if you try another action shortcut, one that is a submenu of the service,mode main menu, such as network, etc.. and that works, you can usually back all the way up to the main menu in service mode.

also CM ROM may have these .apks removed... should be on stock ROM though.

good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Factory mode worked for me but did not solve my problem. I managed to put the tablet in "modem" USB mode which from what I understand should be diag mode, what I'm looking for, but Windows( All: 7, XP, 32, 64 ) can't find drivers for it. It's showing up as 7 CDCs.

Anyone have any suggestions or knows what "7 CDCs" is and how do I get to an actual working diag mode from that ?

I dialed *#7284#, got this :

i.imgur.com/5W2HSlN.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
for drivers, usually you can dowload heimdall and go to 'zadig' (or something similar), with device in download mode: double click zadig.exe it will install drivers

you should see at least one CDC driver possibly a modem driver as well.

Alternatively another good way to install drivers for me has been PDAnet by june fabrics.

find it download .apk it pretty well walks you through set-up.

Thats the right screen for setting usb to modem, etc..

I've had 2 backup's of my EFS folder since day one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Thanks for the suggestions, but I couldn't get them to work. PDAnet requires that the device be put in regular-ADB mode to install drivers - and does install 'normal' drivers but doesn't install the diag mode drivers. zadig installs a driver for the 7 CDCs device but It's listed as a USB device, not as a COM serial port as required by the application.

Do you really need the extra one or can I have it ? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Still no success so far.

The only possibility I see Is doing a restore using NsPro, which apparently is the only software that supports the T869.

NsPro v6.5.2 released:

-Added I547, T869, T879 support.

Anybody knows how I can try to fix the tab with NSPro without buying the box + 1 year activation ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Yeah send it to someone who has one...

Have you contacted mobiletechvideos.com yet? They are US based, but one of the best for these types of things..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] MichaelIvinov:
Thanks, didn't know about them. It seems that they require that the device be shipped.

Has anybody dealt with them before ? How reliable are they / where are they located ?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] latousakis:
Hello,

I managed to give some hard times to me, after flashing an i9305 that I bought from eBay. The phone was rooted, in full working order, and when I flashed it to revert to stock, I managed to check EFS CLEAR, without taking any EFS backup beforehand. My odyssey is well knows to many of you; imei null/null, baseband null, to cut a long story short, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 lte player. It does all but recognizing sim cards and provisioning networks (fair enough as I don't have a valid imei!!!).

I have gon ethrough the whole SGS2 forum, all topics, all solutions; I even unscrewed my phone to see if I can JTAG it, and that's only because QPST and EFS Pro cannot connect to my phone. Octopus and Samsung Tool CAN connect, but I cannot write imei. I cannot upload nvm files (I have a second, stock, and a friend of mine has one rooted from where we extracted the nvm in order to flash it on mine and rewrite imei), so as I read on the i9300 relevant thread, the phone can be jtaged in order to start receiving Rx and Tx commands and be able to upload the nvms and rewrite the imei.

The thing is that nobody tried to jtag this phone, and if someone did, nobody posted the resistance that has to be short circuit. As I saw here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28073021&postcount=5 it is possible for i9300. Is there some schematic for i9305 then, or someone knows which resistance I have to short?

Any help will be appreciated...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Glebun:
you can still connect through Odin or adb, connecting is not the issue. there's nothing to write, imei is not stored in plain text, it's encrypted, so you won't be able to restore it if you don't have a backup. send it to service
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] trifos:
I have the same problem bat I have imei back up sent it to repair center and after 2 month have it back

told me replace motherboard pay 250 euro bikose the binary counter 6.

You fixed Patrida?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] latousakis:
Kalimera filaraki!

Unfortunately I was unable to fix it. Sotmax (member on both xda and myphone) offered to fix it. He could do it for a small cost but I would have to ship it from Thessaloniki to Kefalonia, and it was during the days that the ship workers were on strike. So it would delay a bit more, and I preferred to sell it. A guy over here (who then became friend and we exchange from time to time), bought it and fixed it in 10 minutes!!!!

He has schemas and JTAGs for most of the commercial phones, and I think that he had to open it and de/solder some pcb. It's not something difficult for him, but for you and me it's an issue!! The thing is that someone is now happy with the phone, and I am happy with my new gray 9305!

So if you need to fix it and you cannot find a workaround, you can always try talking to one of these 2 guys to have your work done! I know how much Sotmax is charging for the repair, and he says his job is guaranteed. you just have to be patient for 2 days to ship and 2 days to return (the fix takes no more than 30 minutes as he said). The other guy (his nickname is demernick at insomnia) didn't tell me how much he takes to fix, but it's much quicker as he only needs 1 day to ship from Florina to Thess, and another 1 day to return, so it's half time :D

There is also another one guy who writes in here. He says that he can do the job over the internet via teamviewer (you just have to follow his instructions and post the original IMEI from the box and phone under the battery), and he works with Octopus box ans Samsung Tool. If he manage to fix it, he charges you 10 euros via Paypal! He spent 2 days for me, so I donated that 10 euros to him for his work, even though he couldn't fix it... his website is cvxcvx.pl and I think his name in here has something to do with the website.

All 3 of them are trusted users. 2 of them are respected in here, and demernick is well established on insomnia!

If you need some extra help, feel free to contact me!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Are you sure you ticked EFS clear? Could it be that you had Perseus kernel prior to installing stock? I had some similar problem and as a result my phone only works with Perseus kernel installed.

I would try installing Perseus kernel to see if the phone magically springs back to life.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] latousakis:
I was aware of Perseus, but that wasn't the issue. I DID tick the EFS Clear. After booting back to normal, the imei wasn null/null and the /efs folder was wiped out. it was en empty folder with just 1-2 files in it...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Thing is, the I9305 doesn't store IMEI in the EFS. Which is why I find this a little strange.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] latousakis:
Yes, but the other strange thing is that instead of having a bunch of files, there were only 2 files in the /efs folder!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
So get yourself a donor EFS and substitute the MAC addresses for your own data, it's on the box isn't it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] latousakis:
I think that that'w what he's done!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ptfdmedic:
Most custom ROM's are without radios. You can always pull the radio and edit the update script.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pegapega02:
Yes you can edit the update scrip tried a sprint room they have the radio the only ones that dont have it are the cm 10.1 but we have cm10.1 why should we flash a room that we alredy have and we dont have edit the update scrip well thats my opinion
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
So you say we can't because you are lazy? If you want a sprint or Verizon rom you would be willing to remove the radio file and update the script (honestly 2 minutes of work).

I can confirm I had the 4.1 version of sprints PA ROM (was out before ours or ATT) working, I needed tmobile radio and kernel (took from early port of CM10) and needed an APN app to set APNS as settings APN selector force closed on me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rambo8987:
Where wpuld I find the radio files? I tried the popular roms on both verizon and spring and can confirm by simply flashing roms, modem and kernel for tmo I got them up and running, im trying to get jelly beans on verizon working now but I get no data. It says tmobile in the drop down, but data wont connect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
The radio you get from the development forum. you have a good radio if you get T-Mobile signal. Try downloading HiAPN Global or see if you can change the APNs in the settings menu, I would bet you the APN for T-Mobile is not there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
pegapega02 has been lazy about roms for what feels like eternity, I wouldn't sweat it.

A week ago I tested exactly what you mentioned here... a sprint rom with the tmobile radio. Worked like a champ. Ended up going back to Teshxx's deodexed t-mobile rob because at the end of the day, every single thing works right out of the box, including the themes I want to install on top.

How did you get around the APN force close issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
HIAPN global injects the apn, gets around the force closure.

Hi Guys,

Xperia Z needs a bluetooth headset so that you don't need to pull out the flip cover to insert the headset jack, it will not remain waterproof with latches open.

Also please remember to buy the charging Dock for your Xperia Z !!

I have tried many bluetooth sets but none was perfect, either not good for music or clumsy n difficult to handle.

Then I came across this LG Tone HBS-700 and trust me its awesome.

1. Awesome sound quality (calling + music)

2. Form factor - very easy to carry.

3. Good battery.

4. Acceptable price.

NOTE

: I AM SHARING THIS NOT BECAUSE ITS BEST FOR MUSIC BUT ITS BEST DAILY USE, ANSWERING CALLS, LISTENING MUSIC, ETC. THAT TOO AT A PRICE OF 40+ dollars !!

Here is Amazon link:

Sony MDR-1RBT

I had those LG TONE HBS 700 and they're defentily not the Best Wireless Headset

their biggest problem is that their structure is so uncomfortable to wear cuz it hits u on your collarbones every time u do wrong movement

And if u want to run with them or use it at gym it's IMMPOSIBBLE cuz it hits u or so strong it hurts or falls on your face.

i'm now using the Sony MDR-1RBT which are the best Bluetooth headphones I ever got to use

got them from Germany for 399$ with 3yrs warrnaty.worth evey buck.

I never heard such a quality b4 ,I'm getting to hear sounds in my songs i've never heard before

with their Bluetooth 3.0 strong connectivity u won't get pauses in the middle of the songs I''m Using Sony Xperia TX atm

and they are so comftable to wear they completly disconnecting u from the surrounding taking u into a magic world of clear quality music

not to mention it's so easy to pair with the NFC.

Trust Sony they know how to build an Full HD Bluetooth Headphones

Why? For 1 reason only: It does not support aptx. Although music sounds fine, I feel like for such an expensive gadget, it is lacking a very crucial feature which kills it...
[Xperia Z Accessories] jigarpatel22:
Does Sony Xperia Z support aptx ?

I am planning to buy BT headset, if it support then will buy one with aptx.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Maedhros:
As far as I'm aware, all smartphones 2011 onwards have apt-x support (at least Samsung and HTC devices did).

I assume Sony should as well.

Apt X makes a noticeable difference in Bluetooth sound quality. So if you want to listen to good quality music only choose a headset supporting apt x.
[Xperia Z Accessories] jigarpatel22:
Thanks,

I don't see apt-x mention in Xperia Z whitepaper, the way it is mention in HTC Butterfly or S3 specification.

Anyways thinking about buying "nokia essence bluetooth stereo headset", do you have some better option in same price range as of "nokia essence bluetooth stereo headset" which is apt-x supported headset.
