the signal was MUCH better on international tab than on this. any idea what the problem could be? thx
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
What are the modems on each tab?

Settings, about, baseband.
[Galaxy Tab General] huiman1:
on my current t-mobile, baseband says unknown. i don't have the other one any more but i know i used roto's switcher so it was whatever modem he had in there for the 2g+voice.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
You don't have any modem installed. Baseband is the phpne/data modem.
[Galaxy Tab General] huiman1:
now it says p1000dxjpe
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The modem switch uses two modems, and when you switch the baseband changes to show ROTO-2G, or ROTO-3G.
[Galaxy Tab General] huiman1:
i tried using the 2g with this tablet and it still doesn't have the same great signal the other one had. it's the same exact modem but just not working the same; i used to have signal well inside my apartment but now i need to be very close to a window. it's ok though so i'm dealing with it. fewer interruptions ;)

TMO Tab in INDIA?

Guys

I have a TMO locked Samsung Tab in INDIA, 3G frequencies here are 2100.

Can someone please help me in

1) Unlocking the TAB

2) Using the Phone Services (Voice Call and 3G)

Thank You
[Galaxy Tab General] eduard3040:
So I followed all the steps mentioned above and I got the tab to work.....problem is that, the tab says that there is no sim card..... anybody have any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Could it be in the wrong way?
[Galaxy Tab General] eduard3040:
That's what I thought at first...but its in yhe right way.

What's funny is that it notices when I put the sim card in .....it automatically restarts...and when I pull the sim card out it also restarts....so it sees it...yet it doesn't...weird eh?
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Try another sim card - yours could be bad.
[Galaxy Tab General] eduard3040:
Tried 3 of them. I'm thinking its a bad port.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Thats a warranty claim. In countries outside of the US you can visit a Samsung repair center. In the US you probably have to call and arrange something, probably getting the number from their website.

Problem Using Flashed Tmo Tab to surf

I have flashed my T-mobile Galaxy Tab to make/receive phone calls successfully. However, I have just discovered one problem with my flashed T-mobile Tab. It will not let me visit other web site except t-mobile.com using the data network. The unit will always bring me back to t-mobile.com no matter what web site I type in. Using wifi, I can visit other web sites fine. Does anyone have this problem? How to resolve it? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Google "T-Mobile redirect" for the solution.

i got TMoUS galaxy tab 7 and i have voice only plan sim. i tried all the steps mentioned by OP but i am unable to make voice call. is this hack still valid ?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
you should be using Overcome method:

Go to overcome site

http://www.teamovercome.net

Read the guide,

Missing pictures can be seen here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20974872

Follow the picture step by step.

Basically to restock:

Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.

Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1

It is a Euro rom that allows you to make call.

Use JPZ modem.

Your internet (if your plan allow that, will be EDGE only), until you switch back to T-mobile modem, which will let you have 3G speed but can't make calls.

Sm-t375t tablet

I got the SM-T375T Tablet free when I made another purchase at T-mobile. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A model SM-T375T, Will this work on my tablet?
[Galaxy Tab General] PlankLongBeard:
I saw the other way with Google Voice and Skype. That seems to be a better route than playing with the modem and flashing.. ;) (for now)

Only concern is, what is T-Mo gonna say about the calls when your not paying for it? The wife really wants to give up the MyTouch 4G and go for it, but thats all that holds us back... :mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
I set up voice on my Tmo with help from the sales rep... he said he could choose whatever type of plan we wanted...

That said... I think the GV/Skype would not go to voice ... but to data.

What are they going to do? I've heard Tmo throttles back on speed if you are excessive in usage, rather than cutting you off like Verizon (?) does... so I guess you could find out!
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
It can... but only at 2G speeds... you'd need to go to ATT if you have ATT 1900MHz frequency in your area... and then you could get 3g. (as clubtech and brucewilsonpa have done... that's where I got this info)
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Kind of a bummer, the T-Mob Vibrant actually had 1900 band capability along with the AWS frequencies, so at least in some places you could get AT&T 3G with it.

Guess T-Mobile or AT&T or Samsung got wise this time around and nixed that.
[Galaxy Tab General] ppctester:
nice :D

i knew it wouldn't take long
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
I have no doubt this will be fixed in a short while... (Although I am on AT&T so I'll get a Tab from AT&T)

The European firmware uses the European bands but there must be a way to correct this (and people are working on it)
[Galaxy Tab General] smb3rd:
:D Really excited about the Tmo Tab phone calls! Thanks so much!
[Galaxy Tab General] smb3rd:
Newbie here :): What do you mean you set up voice w/sales rep? Google Voice or Skype? Did you not get the data only plan?
[Galaxy Tab General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
The bands arent there. If you have a T-Mobile USA specific Tab its not going to connect to AT&T 3G in which the other way around an AT&T Tab wont connect to T-Mobile 3G. The bands are just not included this time around. I would try a T-Mobile radio on an AT&T tab after unlock, root & jailbreak to see if it will work but mostly it will not. Only company I know so far that does the all-in-one bands is Blackberry.

Nah your signal reading should be right w/ AT&T. Its that low because they suck in coverage. T-Mobile EDGE is at times impossible to use on any phone. This is why I try to use 3G for my data. But for AT&T I have no luck cant get the connection to stay on & this is normal for my area.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
While I agree with your first paragraph, not everyone has poor EDGE coverage. The signal on AT&T is dependent on location. My area has awesome coverage, the low signal on AT&T we have is due to the Euro modem.bin as others have shown.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Post #8 answers your question :)
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
No... the T-mobile rep set my phone up with a T-mobile voice and data plan... expecting that at some point I would be able to make phone calls... which we are, but still a few kinks to work out.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Alcibiade... you are mixing two differing things here.

1) LongPlank asked about BUYING a European phone and using it on Tmobile. I relayed what I've been told by clubtech... that the way the European phone is set up (eg with the bands it has on it)... you can only get 2G with Tmo (and one of the eBay sellers of Euro phones confirms this)... but you can get 3G with AT&T on the European phone.

2) The issue you're referring to (which is what this entire thread is about) is hacking a US T-mobile Tab using Euro phone firmware to get phone calling capabilities... and the current problem of only getting 2G coverage.

I do think no. 2 will be solved... and maybe in the process, someone will figure out how to solve no. 1 as well. But the European phones are about $400 more than the US phones... so I prefer to go no. 2 route.

____________

PS... As I've just written this all out and connected the dots... that's why we're only getting 2G on Tmo using the Euro firmware... it doesn't have the right bands for US 3G coverage to begin with... it's not that installing the firmware did something to the phone!

But... can it be fixed?
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
So your saying when you bought your tab you were able to add voice and data instead of the data alone? So you have the webconnect and a voice plan? On the same account??! The reason I'm is because I just got in a big fight with a tmobile rep and they said its not possible. If you indeed do have a webconnect and voice plan on one sim, may I ask how much your paying? How many minutes? Would you mind sharing this info? Thanks!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Yeah, no prob.

I have an EvenMorePlus plan 500TTW... with 500 whenever minutes for $59.99 a month.

I should add that one Tmo guy I spoke with at a different store was pretty adamant that I could only get the data plan... so I didn't go there ;)

Then I called another store and got their "Android guy".... I told him I only wanted to keep the phone if I would be able to make phone calls...and he was all over it... he knew that the phones would be hacked for calling... he said he could select whatever plan he wanted, and that no one would know or care.

We had also talked about me buying the Euro phone and walking in off the street asking for a sim card and a plan... so he knew that was an option... so because he wanted to sell me a phone (and because he's Android/xda savvy)... he really wanted to help me sooooo long story short, that's how I got the phone and data plan.

Now if we can only get phone calling AND 3G/H, I'll be all set!
[Galaxy Tab General] kevinniven:
me too

I just got the same thing in Phoenix. Just went in and told him what I wanted and he said no problem.
[Galaxy Tab General] TainT:
I knew I should have waited a few more days.

I had the entire store hating me before I left and still got stuck with the web connect plan.

Time to call customer loyalty AGAIN I guess :-p

BTW....anyone know T-mobiles return policy on these?
[Galaxy Tab General] kevinniven:
lol

Just tell them you need it for the google voice android program and when the reps says whats that, just say its for receiving text messages .

Making phone calls possible

Here is a another story about making T-Mobile Galaxy Tab that eventually can save somebody some time.

1. What is needed:

- T-Mobile Galaxy Tab with USB debug enabled

- Windows PC with two Samsung applications available:

Kies_1.5.3.10103_100_2.exe - for installation of download drivers and nothing else

Odin3_v1.7.zip - flashing utility

- P1000XWJJ4.rar - European ROM package that contains 4 files

P1_add_hidden.pit - "PIT" files defining memory stricture

P1000XWJJ4-REV03-ALL-CL639474.tar.md5 - "PDA" core firmware

MODEM_P1000XXJID.tar.md5 - "MODEM" firmware

GT-P1000-CSC-SERJJ2.tar.md5 - "CSC" firmware

Rar file should be unpacked into the same folder as Odin.

2. Flashing procedure:

- shutdown the Tab

- replace original SIM card with another one that has a phone number

- launch Odin..exe

- put the Tab in the Download mode by pushing simultaneously buttons "Volume Down" and "Power". In result you should see a yellow digger in triangular on the screen

- connect the Tab by USB data cable to PC

- Odin should show active (yellow) ID:COM window with COM number

- select options Re-partition+Auto Reboot+F.Resre Time

- select corresponding files clicking buttons: PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC.

- click start and hope for better :-)

It takes about 10 min to finish.

Surprisingly, my Tab booted in Russian locale. All European languages are available and you can change to whatever you wish.

My regular T-mobile SIM card worked without questions. I could place calls without any extra efforts.

It is amazing!!!

I've got ROM and Odin using links in XDA, Kies - from Samsung support portal.

Be careful to do flashing for the first time. You should have all firmware files when selecting re-partitioning. Later you can update just one particular component without it.

I did not study ROM differences but you can learn it from samfirmware.com

Enjoy!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] cjsblues:
FWIW, flashing the JK1 firmware on top of the described JJ4 through Odin (without repartition selected) will bring you up to date as well as fix the Russian default.

Are you in 3G/H mode in the notifications line?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
And did u get 3g working with this setup?
[Galaxy Tab General] TainT:
@kevinnevin

Im guessing you paid more then $349 ??

Not sure how this will play out if I dont wanna pay the $600 :hmm:
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
That's exactly what I did but could not get 3G, only edge. For now I rather have 3G over making phone calls.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Re:

Currently I see EDGE, however, I did not do any tweaking of bands.

This is more like a proof of concept. I am using prepaid SIM as well.

Tomorrow I am going to do more experiments and post results if they worth something.

My first goal was to add phone capability that is supported by hardware.

I am very satisfied so far and hope to learn how good T-mobile tab modem capabilities. To me it is the most flexible tab in the US.

Instructions

Can someone PLEASE post detailed instructions on how to "hack" the US version of the tab to make phones calls and preserve the 3G or HSPA+ capabilities? I own the T-mobile version and tab's disabled phone option was a huge downer.

Please, if someone knows how to explain the procedure in lamer terms I beg of you to do so, thanks in advance and great job guys!
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
We aren't there yet... so join the club. Come on in and have a seat.

From what I gather... Flashing a TMobile Galaxy Tab with a Euro firmware makes standard phone calls possible, but the Euro firmware doesn't recognize TMobile's USA-based 3G data network... so no 3G internet just yet. That being said, it does look like it will only be a matter of time before someone figures it out.
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
The missing link is probably the modem.bin file off of the Vibrant ( the 2.2 Froyo).
[Galaxy Tab General] amdivoff:
webconnect / reg voice plan.

Just want to make it clear to some. you will not be able to make or test to make calls from a webconnect plan if you bought your tab for 399. if you bought it for 600 then you could open a contract free mobile phone plan with Talk, Text and Web. just make sure the sales guy/girl puts your data soc as android. then you can conect any android device and test. webconnect will not allow you to do any voice at all. sorry if it has been said before i just read a recent post from someoen asking.

(i work for Tmo)
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
Are you suggesting that if we get a "contract free mobile phone plan with Talk, Text and Web" plan that we will be able to make standard phone calls using the Galaxy Tab?

If so, how would you be able to make phone calls if the Phone application has been removed from the device (as it has with the Galaxy Tab)?
[Galaxy Tab General] clovis_ll:
i think thats where flashing the euro firmware comes in. its gonna bring up the phone option.
[Galaxy Tab General] bulldebeerman:
Ok I have 3 sims from t-mobile I data, 2 voice and data. when I first got my sgh it work with all the sims for data only, day 2 I had no data on the 2 voice sims so I called t-mobile and they set everything right back up for me. Only catch is now on my main sims I use for date and voice when I pop it back in to the sgh it goes to the t-mobile wed site, when I pop it back in to the other phones I get wed and voice. so it looks like t-mobile is blocking my main sims on the sgh. Just a thought for you guy who are getting redirected to the t-mobile site.
[Galaxy Tab General] cjsblues:
No such luck...

I tried this on mine a few days ago... have the Vibrant and the "official" un-official modem.bin from Eugene373 and flashed it Odin onto my TMobile US Tab...

It takes it... reboots fine... but no connectivity (not even EDGE)... just zero bars.

Buh-mer...
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Ahh...thanks so much for the information! So you got the "Android Guy" huh. Man sometimes I can get that lucky. Every tmobile person I spoke with is completely clueless. I would really love to keep my plan tho, im on the myfav and get unlimited calling with google voice. Im on the $10 internet plan too for my nexus. so my bill is $50 for basically unlimited everything. you can see why i really wanna get the internet working now. hopefully we can get it working. thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy Tab General] monkeyboywa:
i'd check because this is a internet device and not a smart phone, the rep who helped me was quite clear about 2 things after repeatedly asking the same question multiple times.

1) they dont offer insurance on this product (..odd my hd2 isnt much more than this was)

2) it was a

30 day return

. (that sealed the deal for me)

what your individual stores do is i guess up to them. i'm waiting for an alternative to GV+skype (havent tried yet but probably gonna bite the bullet and do it) or GV + sipdroid (slow on my network so not an option)

My sole goal was to eliminate the bend you over attitude tmobile and other carriers have for their plans...it's total bshister. i want voip. i'm a cheap bastard. (i know i know..i shelled out money for this...not smart all the time ;) just cheap)
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
I'm kinda confused I had just spoken to a rep and they made it clear that the web connect plan can not be tethered with a voice plan , and since most people are saying there not getting Internet on there data plans with voice how is there still edge available? I really want to get one but I want to make sure I can use voice so I can replace my phones And iPad..
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
Weird when I talked to a rep over the phone they told me I could add a standard $6 insurance plan to it since they do cover it, also it was a 14 day return policy I guess it maybe based on store.. I would double check..

Can someone tell how we would to go about reverting it back to stock firmware?
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
They told me no insurance for my tab. As for the return, it should be a 14 day no remorse policy.
[Galaxy Tab General] ggolemg:
at my local t-mobile store:

30-day return policy

Previous phone insurance carried over to tab

Even more plus unlimited plan was good to go on tab if you pay in full for the tab itself. That's what I did. Popped out my sim from my old G1 and popped it into the tab. No data. Only goes to the t-mobile site on 2g/3g. I'm heading back there tonight after work to find out what's going on with it.
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
let us know what they say please!
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
yes please advise, but i was told by 2 tmo reps over the phone that you can only use the webconnect plan and not a standard android data plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] duce95:
data plan

tab only works on a webconnect plan. android, smartphone, blackberry web for example will not work.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
not trying to be a smart ass but any support on this? or are you stating what tmo reps have stated? if one person got it to work then it might be possible just wanting to figure out what is the best approach to get to work if it can actually and 100% be done....just stating that it cant doesnt help without any supporting facts.
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
Curious about how people are even getting edge, I checked with a rep and they stated that the web connect plan can only be use on its own plan with no voice plan tethered in, so what plan are you guys using to get edge.. I guess their tracking imei's to make sure aren't using tabs on other plans that aren't on web connect
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
i am even wondering if they are just saying that to force us to add the webconnect plan. i am already giving tmo $150+ a month for 2 android phones and 2 @home services, they cant even give us a break. i wouldnt mind dropping my vibrant if i could use the current plan i have with it on the TAB once the phone capability is available.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
i hope someone figures this out quick before my 14 days are up lol

funny thing is i took my sim out my hd2 and put it in tab and my tab sim in my hd2 and my hd2 says i have a voice mail but when i switch it back it doesnt have a voice mail

weird
