Once again it looks like Samsung (artificially?) disabled the phone on the North American (SM-T705W) LTE models,

And yet they state the following on the Canada and North American websites:

"Send and receive voice calls while multitasking on the LTE model."

I spoke with a rep and they said that the reason you cant make calls on North American (SM-T705W) models is that "It's a tablet" but after guiding the rep through the google search results for the above quoted text, the rep THEN stated that you CAN make phone calls with the UK and Hong Kong versions.

SMS works. Data works, but there is no option to dial a contact. Third party dialler apps make the sounds but won't put through the call.

Is there really any difference in the hardware capabilities between the UK and North American versions or is this just another artificially placed limitation to favor the North America carriers?

I bought this unit outright and off contract (full price, non-subsidized) from a retail Samsung store and it's bad enough that it came locked to a carrier...

Do we need to root and Apply EU/UK firmware to the SM-T705W to provide this functionality, for perhaps in the case of emergencies?

I did this successfully on a North American Galaxy Tab GT-P1000M with the same(?) artifically placed limitation.

Has anyone been successful at enabling voice calls / dialling on the SM-T705W and are there Radio files required or available for U.S. and Canadian carriers?

Thanks for the reply mac231us,

oldblue says he knows what he's talking about, but no-one has confirmed it (in that thread). He also states that American LTE is impossible with International versions (which someone seems to have contradicted) and that sms and voice is only possible with international versions (and sms works for me), and his experience seems to be relating to an AT&T SM-T707 specifically.

This thread/question is about a North American T705W, which I can confirm...sends SMS perfectly well and also supports LTE (at least data) in North America (30mbit so far).

So I hope bigblue might be wrong about the hardware and not being able to flash to enable voice.

Can anyone confirm this on or for a SM-T705W please?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
ok...my mistake. Hope you get this clarified..am curious myself about this t705w model.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0349:
Just curious if you ever got this sorted out? I have a T705W and realized that I can not flash any of the T705 firmwares to it.... Just wondering if anyone has a work around that would allow flashing an international firmware. I don't actually care about making calls from the tablet, more so just want the Lollipop update, and I know it will be a cold day in Hell before ROBELUS releases an updated firmware! :eek:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Can you get any of the lollipop bootloaders to install?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTAMAS:
Flash this

It's Hongkong region Lollipop 5.0.2 for SM-T705 but without the Hidden.img which results in Odin PC flash process FAIL.. :highfive:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahanoks:
Hi TAMAS, I've tried flashing Hong-Kong stuff on the Canadian SM-T705W version, as expected I got failure, it flashed boot.img and failed on the modem.bin. So I was under impression that I got lollipop boot loader, at least.

I've successfully flashed TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-klimtwifi, interestingly version for SM-T700 flashed with no issues. And I've tried to flash IronROM v2 which based on adndroid 5, which also said was flashed successfully according to TWRP. However, I was unable to boot - got stuck at the boot screen.

Is there any other way to get bootloader somehow maybe from some other OTA firmware. I'm using my tablet at home on Wifi only, so I don't mind loosing my radio and not having LTE, as long as I can get lollipop based ROM.

P.S. Will try to flash cm12 (klimtwifi version) and update this thread, but I'm concerned that bootloader method is not working through Hong-Kong OTA.

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTAMAS:
Mate, I guess that's because the firmware is for SM-T705 and not for SM-T705W.. :o

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxblaine:
just to add some extra info:

I am in the UK with a T805 (10.5 inch version LTE) and I can make calls and send texts from my tablet. I can imagine that the only reason for not being able to make calls is they disabled it. They should fix that if they offered in the US the ability to make calls but then disabled it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theshape4x:
Anyone has any updates on this? I also bought a SM-T705W unlocked and it has no phone dialer option. I was wondering if flashing a firmware from a different region will enable the phone dialer?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
It is not Samsung who disabled..but the u.s carriers who branded their versions. .this was discussed back in October 2014 in one of the q and a or general forums for the tab s and pro too maybe..definitely the tab s as I had a post or two there if I recall correctly

Anyone know if tablet is locked to carrier like smartphone? I bought a brand new sealed SM-T705W on craigslist. The label states Telus UPC. Is there any way to find out if it is locked or unlocked without cut open the box? If this tablet is not able to make/receive call, I will resell it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
Search the forum and 320/325 tab pro forum going back a year.. Like see Oct 2014...the carrier versions cannot make cellular calls...

Edit just noticed my post above yours has those old message links... So why the question? Just search... If one carrier does it all will do this.. This should be no different

I just got a T807T and popped in my smartphone sim with unlimited data. I was able to text from my regular phone number, but i could not get data to work, the browsers just went straight to a Tmo sign up page and gave an error about putting my sim in different devices. I even rooted and disable the Tnmoble Connect Me app, but that didn't allow data to work. I guess the network knows that my sim is for my smartphone only?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E--Man:
Hi does anyone have an update on this? I feel this issue is important to a lot of people.

The SM-T805W I am using should be fully physically capable of making voice calls since it has capability for all bands I am using for my Canadian carrier including GSM, UMTS, HSPA and LTE. Not sure if this issue is present in custom ROMs as well. Does anyone know what modifications are required to enable the voice calling? Any replies would be very appreciated! Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
Do you have to unlock the bootloader? What about the ATT version? (Will search on my own but any info. is appreciated) Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman96385:
Yes you have to unlock the bootloader, the ATT version has a snapdragon processor and has its bootloader locked with no known exploit.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E--Man:
Hi, thanks for replying, I prefer to stay completely stock for security reasons but it should still be possible to make this happen with a minor modification to phone.apk and possibly the modem. My T805W has the ability to to 2G, 3G, and LTE so there is no doubt it's possible.

I tried copying the phone.apk from another lollipop Samsung ROM but it didn't work out too well.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman96385:
I can't help you then sorry.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
Just like the tab 4 (example T337T versus T335) the 705 stateside versions (W, A) do not have the lower microphone needed for calls (the user manuals will show the difference)

as for folks still hoping for somehow making the T705/705Y work on u.s Lte,,,,it appears it will not (found the T705 service manual and do not see anything for LTE modules for the missing U.S bands for repair and circuits...only for the international LTE bands that are available on those devices-so yes there is a hardware difference imo)

SMS on T-705W?

I've got a rooted, Lollipop, Bell Canada SM-T705W working on an AT&T sim down here in the states. I understand there is no phone capability on the 'W' version but if SMS messaging does indeed work I'm having problems getting it going. I'm not overly familiar with the inner workings of the various flavors of 3G and 4G but I'm seeing LTE, HSPA+ and HSDPA network connections and Mobile data is working. But messaging is broke using stock android Messages app. Am I missing some APN settings? Can anyone steer me in the right direction to get messaging working?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtfm1777:
MORE

Alright, I'm going to take a leap here and dive into unknown territory for me. Android System Info tells me that data for the Messages app is in /data/data/com.android.mms. Poking around in there I find the com.android.mms_preferences.xml file. Comparing it to the same file in my Galaxy S5 phone with working SMS I see the obvious dissimilarities. I also see _has_set_default_values.xml, WebViewChroimiumPrefs.xml, message_glance.db, Web Data, and com.android.opengl.shaders_cache files. Anyone with experience working with these files? Could it be simple editing of the .xml file values to get messaging to work on the AT&T network down here?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac231us:
the device is data only as in data for internet only not mms sms a and certainly there is no cellular call capability as the speaker modem arrangement is all different from the cellular version

really great, but it doesn't override stock icons for wifi and signal. battery icon is ok.

and I think also there is no option to roll back and bring back stock icons for one or two indicator. so it's an all or nothing deal.

Option to set the H/3G/E text size (like the option currently for the battery %)

Option to put the H/3G/E text on the left side of the signal icon

Possibly an option to change the spacing on the left and right of each icon?

Option to fine tune the X-axis placement of each icons (to align them visually, since, for example: the horizontal battery has the little tip, which makes it appear not aligned to the clock and other icons, despite being mathematically centered)
[Xposed Framework Modules] 60nine:
these two options would be great to have

tip:

if possible - do the "vertical align icons by: bottom, top or middle" (i'd be satisfied if only bottom alignment would work)
