[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Starfury:
Just spoke to someone at Orange today who prooved most helpful. She said she couldn't find the handset in their list and I mentioned that several friends had spoken with retentions and got orders placed. So she rang through to retentions and came back to me 15 minutes later telling me that the handset will be available to retentions in 4 weeks and available to the normal Orange sales channels by the end of the November.

This did seem very definate as I was basically saying if they weren't I'd be leaving and going to a network that could satisfy my requirements.

So question is do we wait for another 4 weeks then ring retentions or do we jump ship for another network... namely T-Mobile who has a great data plan but crap network coverage (where I am at least) and an obsession with pink?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foaf:
Jump ship I say. I'm in the same situation with O2, the t-mobile data tariff and flexible voice/texts is enough to get me to leave my contract with O2.

That said, if O2 offered the black (HTC original colour) version and had a solid release date I would have to re-evaluate. But waiting for a date that constantly changes (which has happened in the past with previous handsets) is just not worth it when the contract has finished its 12 months.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] skuk21:
this is incorrect. it will be launched this week. i'd wait till the end of the week
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
For what its worth, I have rung O a few times over the last couple of weeks and have spoken to a few people "on the inside"...

As far as I can tell, the device is well into "review" which is O speak for a) final tweaks to their customisations and b) testing by their own people.

What this actually means is that it is likely to appear on their systems within the next two weeks max.

I am certainly waiting for an O HTC Tytn 2 as I actually like O, I like my OWU 1gb data for £8 and I get very good coverage on O wherever I go. The only other network I would ever consider is T (due to WnW) but I know many people who are unhappy with T's coverage.

I just took delivery today of the Vodafone v1615 which is their version of the Tytn II. Very similar to the original. Radio ROM and OS are same version. No other noticable differences apart from a few things missing.

Will post the extended rom tomorrow if I get time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
These sorts of devices often don't appear on the "coming soon" until after they are actually available... the M3100 (Hermes) was available to upgrades about two weeks before it appeared anywhere...

I don't know the other guys sources, but the device is very nearly through review - the dummy models are in the shops back rooms now...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Starfury:
£8 a month for 1Gb??? I am paying £8 a month for 30mb... How I get the deal you got? I have a lot of loyalty rewards already as I been with them for nearly 8yrs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
The £8 1GB Orange World Unlimited deal was only available for three months last year (up to end Sept) and only to customers on largest talk plans (eg Panther 75) and you had to be quite forceful to get it.

I haven't heard of anyone getting it recently.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Starfury:
I will try and be forceful... :) by the way the new AT&T radio 1.54.07.00 is very good on my SPV M3100
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
If trying to get the OWU deal, watch out as they have more recently launched various other Orange World Bundles and the system the OCS people read from offer these instead of the OWU deal. The original deal was £6.xx plus VAT and the principle condition was that the bundle once applied had to be left on for the life of the contract (ie for the full 18 months or whatever).

I have heard of someone upgrading their contract and ensuring that all existing bundles were carried forward so they didnt lose it.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2112:
I just pulled the trigger on a refurbished SM-P905 (Verizon) tablet. I would like to have the option of sticking my phone's SIM card in it and use the tablet as my phone (with an ear piece, of course).

What would I need to do to the tablet in order to make that work? Root? Install additional apps? Would CM12 work?

Assume that I have a Verizon cell phone that I would pull the SIM from and put into the tablet when I needed to use it as such.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuHaneenHHHH:
I have the international version of the note pro SM-P905

from my previous knowledge,

any android tablet can be used as a phone except that phone calls will be heard through the speaker unless you use an ear piece.

I already have a phone sim installed on my note pro and it is working fine out of the box

I use it the sim for data and I made a few phone calls without any problems

no need for root or anything else

I don't know about Verizon note pro model but it is suppose to be the same
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2112:
Thanks! I was concerned that the tablet wouldn't have the necessary phone apps and background software that it would need right out of the box.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
I have the P905V as well.

I haven't tried a phone sim on I cant say for sure on the phone calls themselves.

however I am using a T-mobile tablet sim with text messaging and the text messaging does not seem to work on this tablet.

Verizon and sprint use CDMA for voice, SMS and 3G data

When they moved to LTE (Which is a GSM technology) they basically just added a sim card slot for data on top of the existing CDMA hardware.

Some Verizon phones also have the Sim slot enabled for GSM calling for people that travel internationally.

unfortunately most tablets (and even a lot of phones) dont have that feature and only use it for LTE

I suspect that this is the case here.

there is chance it might make calls if activated under Verizon though you would need a dialer installed. (Perhaps someone with one activated with Verizon could chime in if they have tried it)

The best option I've found on an alternate carrier is to use your google voice number in the hangouts app to make VOIP calls.

it works great for that and you basically have calling coverage anywhere you have data.

Groove IP also works pretty good and doesnt use much data.

unfortunately VOIP is the only option I know of.

On a side note, as stated above the international version has the full phone features in GSM format, this is often the case with international versions of tablets.

Sadly the US only versions often have things stripped out by the carrier, sometimes out of necessity and sometimes to push people to use their service etc.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2112:
Thanks for the info! That's exactly what I was afraid of, that the Verizon version of the OS on this tablet wouldn't include the phone/texting software. So I'm wondering if the CM12 rom does..?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Unfortunately while the Verizon version is rootable on android 4.4 there are no custom roms for it currently.

Also note that they released the 5.1 update for the Verizon model but its not yet rootable.

I've kept mine on 4.4 for this reason but a lot of people have opted to give up root for the newer software.

I know this all sounds like bad news but this is really an amazing tablet, I actually use it exclusively and no longer use windows at home.

I also often use it for calls over VOIP.

but unfortunately if custom roms and voice calls are what you are looking for in a tablet the international version would have likely been the better choice.

The Verizon Version does have a few perks due to the snapdragon 800 processor, charging faster being the biggest.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2112:
Thanks! I just purchased mine and its supposed to get here tomorrow. I'm probably going to send it back. I don't want to be stuck on 4.4 just so I can have root, and I don't want to deal with not even having root on 5.1. Then add-on that you can't unlock the bootloader on the Verizon version, and it's a no-go.

just charge the phone up to 100% and thats it. Battery Stats file is reset and then you are done. No need for snake oil or so called calibration apps.

Ok, So what i did to get my Hotspot to work without any issues.

First i installed the new update Odin Tar Method

Rooted it With ChainFire Root

Used the Super Su Beta

Installed Root Checker

Installed BusyBox

Made sure I had Root

Installed GalxyTools (idoneapps)

And hit Enable Native Hotspot

Rebooted

WALA!

Worked without any issues

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] reekotubbs:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
FYI people, you don't have to root to enjoy this hotspot mod but you do have to flash twrp recovery. The previous method with dialer code doesn't work anymore with the new MM software. But if you just want a quick and simple solution to achieve permanent unlocked native hotspot then visit my thread in the link above. Make sure you also download the correct version of TWRP and odin flash it first.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Ca_pony:
Hi Tx_dbs_tx....I'm a newbie. Can you provide instruction on how to flash the correct version of twrp recovery and odin? I'm on a Sprint Note 5 with MM 6.0.1 ..everything stock. Thank you
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samatagana:
Well, this is a Note 4 thread but that's ok lol. Instead of providing you with links I am going to show you how to find this stuff correctly so that you will be able to do it next time. Teaching you how to fish, Im not being difficult lol

*Note: If you don't have the abd or Samsung drivers you will have to download those using an adb tool from xda and kies from Samsung.

From your computer:

1. Google "TWRP.ME". In the upper right hand corner click on devices and select yours. Download the latest and greatest IMG file.

2. Google "Odin xda" and download the latest and greatest of that.

3. Unzip the file. Find and right click Odin and run as administrator. Click the AP slot and load up the TWRP file that was in the zip.

4. Turn your phone off and restart it holding *Volume down +home button+power button* This will take you to "download mode". Plug it in and press volume up.

5. Press start. AS SOON AS IT FINISHES AND TRIES TO REBOOT PULL YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE IT OUT FOR 30 SECONDS.

6. Restart by pressing *volume up+home+power* this should take you to the TWRP recovery. Perform a backup to external.

Now to root...

1. Google "Chainfire Autoroot". Go to his site and find your model number and download the zip file.

2. Unzip the file. Find and right click Odin and run as administrator. Click the AP slot and load up the CFAutoroot file that was in the zip. (this will take a minute so...)

3. Turn your phone off and restart it holding *Volume down +home button+power button* This will take you to "download mode". Plug it in and press volume up.

4. Wait for the please wait text to go away and click start.

Those steps will root your phone.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Ca_pony:
Thank you Samatagana for taking the time to post a very thorough instruction on how to flash the phone!

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

I apologize if this comes off as ignorant, so to get this native hotspot feature on MM....don't you need to be rooted first before flashing the rom from tx_dbs_tx?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
Didn't you say you are using a Note 5? This is the Note 4 forum and tx_dbs_tx makes ROMs for the Note 4 which should NOT be flashed on a Note 5. He did make a port of the Note 5 but this should still only be flashed on a Note 4 and NOT a Note 5
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Ca_pony:
Thank you for the clarification.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] surfer1010:
I tried this by just installing twrp via odin, and then flashing the PD1 hotspot mod. This did not change the APN type settings to append to .dun.

Do I have to install your ROM first, and somehow select "no root" for this to work? I was hoping to not have to root my note 4, but will if that is the only way to regain the hotspot.

Thanks for any help, or clarification on the best way to do this.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
I believe after you flash the mod with TWRP, then all you have to do is turn on hotspot and enjoy. No need to mess with APN settings
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] surfer1010:
Thank you, when I turn on and connect my laptop to the hotspot, I get a good connection with my phone, but no internet connectivity. TWRP, (latest version), showed a good flash of hotspot mod, and then auto rebooted as it should.

Were you able to do this and get internet connectivity without flashing the rom and rooting first?

I had this problem and got the recovery working again with the modified version from above. Where did you get this? and what modification was needed? This is very strange. I never had that kind of a problem.

I flashed my phone back from OxygenOS 3 beta to OxygenOS 2.2.1 to get a working phone again and will now try to revert to the normal recovery again. From there I hope to get twrp 3.0.2.0 and cyanogenmod 13 to work.

UPDATE: normal twrp 3.0.2.0 works again. So my steps to recover from a brick with no accessable recovery to a working phone were:

1. flash modified recovery

2. boot into recovery

3. flash latest stable stock rom

4. flash latest stock twrp

"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."
