tab

come on guy lets get this tmobile tab up and running with voice the sim is the same you can make and receive text. oh dont get the sprint one no sim duh
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
So what are you waiting for then?? Flash it with JJ4 or something then....
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Someone need to try and flash the Euro firmwares on the T-mobile version and see if it enabled the phone app.

It *should* work but one can never know...
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
Since t-mobile couldn't resist putting a sim lock on the GT, they probably also locked the voice function. I've previously used dc-unlocker to unlock a data card in my laptop and there is a separate lock for voice function. Note that even if you unlock the voice part of your laptop's mobile broadband card you usually can't make voice calls with your laptop because the audio out is not wired into your soundcard...
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
just got the tab today, tired installing my Vibrant SIM ( i have unlimited web ) but the only thing is that every time i insert my SIM and try to launch the market app, it asks me for my password and it will not connect for some reason, but when i insert the SIM that came with the tab i enter my password and it works what would be the difference.?

i hope we can get it to be able to make calls that would be sweet. then i would need to figure out how to get rid of the 24.99 plan i chose either use it via via wifi (home or through Vibrant) or simply use the SIM from my vibrant.
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
not sure how the vibrant or tab is setup, but you could reset and when it asks you to setup you gmail account again , etc.. you could try to set it up again with the vibrant sim card installed and see if it works then. Unless you did that from the beginning already.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
well tried resetting the phone, inserted vibrant SIM tried to set up market but it will not let me, used SIM from tab and signed into market no problem re-inserted SIM from vibrant is asked me to enter password and all it says is "authenticating" and nothing it keeps telling to re-try. so i take it the SIM card from the Vibrant, even though it is set up for unlimited wed and data it will not work. what a bummer, i might just have to return then tab since it is not working the way i wanted it to.
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
I am wondering if it is because you are tied to a data plan already that is is causing the issue. If you did not have a data plan on the Tab, would it accept the Vibrant Sim card?
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
i don't know, i had to get what is called a webconnect plan which i chose the lowest, 24.99. i might have to contact tmobile and see what choices i have...
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
I saw on their site where you could get a 1 week, month pass data plan at your choosing.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
well contacted tmobile, explained that i do not want the data plan and that i only wanted to use it via wifi. i was able to cancel the plan no issues, i did try it via wifi using my vibrant and it connected no issues i am very happy and pleased, the only thing is that i need to pay for the pad upfront and will not get the payment plan since i do not have a plan with it, but i am ok with that since that was my original plan....lol!!@!
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
Since you don't have a data plan now, see if the sim card from the vibrant works now.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
well i did and still i can not get it sign in into market, this is what i get, "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server. this could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. if it continues, call customer care."

now note that is says "phone may not be provisioned for data services" and i do have a good 3g signal while i am doing this so it is very strange.

well i guess ill just keep using it via wifi, until some one can figure this out...
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
It does not let you connect to 3G data services using the Vibrant SIM becuase of the data plan that is attached to that SIM.

If you had the Webconnect plan attached to the Vibrant SIM then it would work with the Tab. Seems like this is done on purpose by T-mobile to prevent Tab users from using the Vibrant's data and calling plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
So would there be any way to have webconnect on my vibrant sim and then be able to swap between the tab and vibrant or will the webconnect not got with along with voice?
[Galaxy Tab General] chrisrotolo:
I am a firm believer this will happen. If it does not have any serious side effects, and theres a way to get ATT to go along, I would love to sell my streak for a Tab.:D
[Galaxy Tab General] bulldebeerman:
tab

im with tmobile and when i got home i pop my old sim in and every thing work the same no prob just no voice. got got with my tab the 39.99 plan but ill cancel that next month.
[Galaxy Tab General] guyverunit:
i can tell you for a fact that the galaxy tab can make phone calls. how you ask? because i saw it doing it earlier today. here's the story. i went into tmobile yesterday and played with the tab, found out that i only qualify to get the full price tab. oh well, if it did phone i would have gotten it.

so knowing that Verizon was selling there version at Best Buy i popped in there today to check it out, see if there plans or anything were better. they had just taken it out of the box and were setting it up. i went to work and on my lunch went back. they had the display set up so i played with it. it was still at the activation screen, i pressed activate and behold it dialed out to do the activation. even had a phone icon in the top bar.

so i talked to the best buy mobile manager there and ask if they had gotten it passed the activation he said no but he would try again. he tried and it dialed out. i said oh so it can make calls, he said yes its just not put into the software to do it for the user end but yes, it can make calls. he also said he gives it two weeks till the DEV community hack it to do just that. LOL

so there you are it can make calls. and as soon as someone figures that one out im buying mine on Tmobile of course.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
That is great news about the Verizon tab actually CALLING... I may be switching to Verizon...

You should know that the t-mo phones do NOT phone out when activated... cus I was there on Wednesday and no phone calling was involved... and there wasn't even an "activate screen".... it just went straight to the home screen. It was activated via the bar code no. and the computer.

So.... that makes me wonder what the differences are between the two? Sounds like the Verizon model would be the best one to try to hack. Or maybe they're the same, but Verizon just chooses to activate via phone.... don't know, but it's strange.

Someone else posted today as well that the Tab "phoned home" to activate.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
i tried the same thing but when i use internet it takes me to tmo site only also cant go into market unless im on wifi i have hd2 unlimted plan sim how did you do this what plan are you using on old sim?
[Galaxy Tab General] paikmanSTi:
I posted yesterday that the tab dialed to activate, heres a quote from the thread OP

"Picked up my samsung tab from VZW direct retail earlier today.

Interesting note on the activation

as soon as the tab was turned on, it dialed a number on what appeared to be a stock dialer for the activation.

Also interesting to note is that the tablet was assigned it's own number under my account. An actual local area code one at that.

Is this the same for Verizon MiFi devices?"
[Galaxy Tab General] sclui56:
Has anyone checked what APN the TMO Tab is using? May be it's different than the handsets.
[Galaxy Tab General] cbenz80:
ECHO!

All I need is the Euro version of the phone.apk & contact.apk & this thing will work...Ive replaced the stock dialer with the one from the Fascinate & just get a bunch of force closes', but the dialer is there & enabled. Help us poor americans out! Please post the Euro phone.apk & contacts.apk :D
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
ok so when i first got my tab, i immediately put my sim card from my nexus in it. i am on the $10 unlimited data plan with the internet2.voicestream.com APN. i launched the browser and google.com worked! when i did a search, it worked! but as soon as i clicked a link, i was taken to the tmobile site and it says 404 error on the top. ill try to post a screenshot later. anyway, so i was able to search anything on google.com but opening the site from the google search didnt work. so i tried to push a modified phone.apk that i found on the forums. that didnt work and resulted in a bunch of force closes. simply pushing the original back seemed to fix it. im too scared to try the euro firmware but maybe i will. i truly think it has a the proper hardware to make calls. i dont know how people are denying this. I can get text messages and use 3G (on the stock sim card) so how can we dispute that it doesnt have a radio; its obviously software locked. its just a matter of time...
[Galaxy Tab General] guyverunit:
hmm maybe i will wait and see then. if someone can load in the phone apk's and get it to work will save me importing it from the UK lol. i'm not going to get it without having the phone part. although if someone wanted to swap me the tmobile tab for my 32gb 3g ipad i would lol
[Galaxy Tab General] zozodouce:
you are a funy dude.
[Galaxy Tab General] guyverunit:
lol im totally serious. the reason i want it is that i want to use it as my phone and my "ipad". i'm tired of carring around two things, and the android comunity is much more active with things than the ipad iOs community, imho. and im just a big android fan. what can i say, i'm a nutter!!
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
And if all fails we can still duct-tape a 3 year old nokia dumb-phone to the tab. Imagine 1 week of standby and Android :cool:
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
has anyone tried this:

There is a work around though... with voice enabled, you can call tmobile and ask for a tech support supervisor, open a trouble ticket and request an engineer to change your device ip range to that of a smartphone... then data and voice should work together. I had this problem on my aws version of the dell streak and it fixed it using unlimited voice and unlimited android data plans

i called tmo tech support and asked if there was any way to have my Vibrant SIM card work on the tab to use the 3g signal for web/data and she stated that no it would not work, i would need a separate plan, the webconnect plan. has anyone tried the above method? i was trying to think what it was but couldnt find this post on time.

if there is a way to have the ip range of the tab changed to that of a smartphone what are the chances it would actually work and not have any issues?

EDIT: ok so i called back tmobile and asked them if they could change the ip range of the tab to that of a smartphone, they asked why i explained i wanted to use my vibrant SIM card to be able to connect online and they stated that it can not be done and that the tab needs its own plan in order to access online. so i guess i am stuck using it via wifi unless someone comes up with a way to have the phone sim work in the tab.........

if anyone has been able to do the step above please advise exactly what you did or told the tmobile rep in order for it to happen...
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
If I remember correctly, this guy was posting it as a workaround to having to get webconnect form Tmo... it did not solve the phone calling issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
i know it will not work on the voice side, i just wanted to know if anyone has tried it to connect online and stuff like that and if it actually works......
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
But this is the thread for trying to activate the phone....
[Galaxy Tab General] tacoda:
I did try to change sim from my vibrant. data didn't work, it directed to tmo site. However sms and mms both works.
[Galaxy Tab General] guyverunit:
ok so they did it!!! in this thread they unlocked it and it can make calls now, with some caviots but it works!!

[General Questions and Answers] halexakay:
Few days ago my phone started acting funny and would not respond to touch. So I rebooted (off -remove battery -on) but now it comes up with :

"Sorry ! Application Home (in process com.motorola.blur.home) is not responding." <Force Close>, <Wait>...Other times it comes with similar error related to Blur services. I noticed when I turn off WiFi it will start working normal again but without Net access. I got this phone with AT&T in US but now I am using it with another Carrier. Could this be the problem? I am hoping the 2.1 upgrade will solve my problem but not sure.
[Desire General] wmfreak:
HTC recommended solution!

1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or

more

2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge

for 1 hour

3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF

and charge for another hour. Your battery life should almost

double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents

have seen a major difference as well

I was very reluctant but after trying it I must admit it does work!

Good Luck!

In my opinion the battery recalibration doesnt work..

I mean, after that, the battery show 100% for a very long period (this good), and goes to 90% jsut after a long period (this good again).

But after that, it starting going down faster than the normal behaviour OR sometimes the phone power off its self when the battery is still more than 10% instead to power off when the battery is at 5 % as usual.

That what i've noticed.
[Desire General] saiprasad30:
That is calibarting your battery need to do when you get the phone initially. you cant do that every time. Honestly if you do that your battery will be Sc***ed

As a quick note, this method doesn't work per se but it gives the impression of longer battery life - it stays at a high % for longer but then drops off quite quickly
[Desire General] focallength:
... after all that....

right then people. lets be constructive and help a chappy out. I've recently had absolutely sucky battery life. It was OK with LeeDroid 2.2e, latest radio, but then I upgraded to 2.2f and everything went to pot. Seriously, just with moderate use I was getting 12 hours at best. Overnight charge, unplug at 7am, by mid afternoon it was switching off again. This is not how it used to be.

So I switched to Oxygen 0.1.3 Beta - still sucked

Now on CyanogenMod - which I love, but battery life still sucks. Trying various radios, but IT ALL STILL SUCKS!!!

I've now switched over to 2G only, turned off auto sync and mobile internet, except when I want them, just to get through the day.

Help!

I have searched and there are generic answers, all of which I have done. I have recalibrated (don't start that flame war again please) and found negligable benefit.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated (short of buy a bigger battery).

:mad::confused:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Have you tried a stock ROM at all? It could very well be something in the custom ROM(s) you're using. At least then you'd know if it's the handset itself

You could try a stock WWE one, though (with a gold card)

Since you have it rooted, use adb shell to connect via command line.

Then:

su (hope that you have done this at least once, since the first time an authorization dialogue pops that you need to allow)

/system/bin/reboot

should reboot your device.

Hello,

I need major assistance, I have been running third party roms on my phone for a while as well as S-Off (alpharev's iso). My phone provider has recently released the OTA update so I was trying to go back it seemed to run fine but now when I boot my phone all I get is a short vibrate and the Alpharev splash screen then the phone reboots. I have tried to power up with the Vol- and power button and nothing happens, I have tried to use fastboot from the command line and all I get is Waiting for Device. I really need help please.

UPDATE:

I can now get into Android system recovery but when I try to apply a new rom it keeps saying "failed to verify whole-file signature" "signature verification failed". Does anyone have any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpraveenis:
Have you tried installing a working RUU? That will get your phone back to working state and you can root it once again.

Note: Use the proper RUU. Flashing a AMOLED ruu will cause a display brick if you have a SLCD desire.

Edit: Also you cannot flash a custom rom from android system recovery. Only a .zip file that is signed by htc can be flashed I think. Search and download a htc rom and flash from recovery if the above mentioned method does not work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhutanigaurav:
careful while running the ruu on a s-off device. i had a s-off device and flashed a amoled ruu instead of a slcd one and ended up bricking my screen -- fixed it later though but it caused major panic. so, run the ruu only once you're very very sure.

secondly, each ruu extracts a rom.zip file when run in a temp directory. if your ruu doesn't work because it throws a hboot or a cid error, you can try searching and flashing for this rom.zip file from fastboot and it should ideally flash the stock rom -- since it is signed by htc. you will lose root though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devin_mm:
Thank you for your response, do you know of a way to extract an 'update.zip' from an RUU exe file? The latest RUU from my carrier has been posted and I can't run through the normal update process as it doesn't detect my phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhutanigaurav:
put your phone in fastboot -- switch off phone. press back button+power and try running ruu again. Once it detects, search for rom.zip on your comp temp file location.

i don't know any other way unfortunately
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devin_mm:
Sorry if it seems like I'm being stupid.

I found the rom.zip, I tried renaming it to update.zip and it fails signature verification. So right now I'm sitting at a black screen with the picture of the phone and the triangle and when I type 'adb devices' into my terminal I get the S/N and Offline. Any assistance would be great, I'm doing this on OS X if it makes a difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You need to rename it PB99IMG.zip as it needs to be found when you first turn the phone on in HBOOT. Any 2.2-based RUU will be fine on an SLCD screen

Obviously flashing a ROM this way will reset the phone back to stock and delete ALL data
