I love how he puts in his second post "Swyped from my Galaxy Tab" what a loser! ! !
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
If you had followed your own advice (search and engage brain ;) ), you would realize that they are talking about US Tabs, as the phone function has been disabled on these.

Euro Tabs have phone functionality as standard and the Yanks already know this so your post came over as a little sarcastic!

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Cheers dude, it's just what the XDA app appends to my posts.

Also, I'm sorry about getting the "nationality" of the tab wrong. Upon re-reading the thread I can see my error, sorry.

As it appears I'm not welcome here I'll stay in the legend section, bye...

I'm sure the Americans, with their American Tabs, and questions about their American Tab making phone calls, really appreciate your input so much right now...
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Actually...

TheGrammarFreak

Any chance you can adb pull the Phone.apk from your Tab please?

I've been using the Galaxy phone .apk's, not another Tab's Phone that's known to work. Perhaps this is the issue.

Can you pull it and post it please?

(plus, what country/provider are you on?)
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:

[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
alright guys, thank you for all the info. ill be home at 6pm est. ill keep u updated.
[Galaxy Tab General] kmo1:
Total Noob

So I tried installing the apk files you had in the zip file and it states those files are already installed on the device and says install failed. Something on the TAB is configured to block the install.

Tab is rooted as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
I copied all the files into the system/app folder using rootexplorer but unfortunately did not work. It boots normal, no error messages, but my tab does not get 3g signal, neither I see the Phone icon in the drawer. No luck so far. =(
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Going the euro rom flashing route now.

See what's doable.

(well, so far, not good, but it was worse 30 mins ago, least I get the Samsung logo now)
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
alright guys....update has commenced!

edit...i wish i read jyveakfk comment before doing this lol. ok lets see.

alright guys...guess its bricked. stuck at a "Galaxy Tab" logo. i think its done.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
This was a post about unlocking the Tab ... but I have found that makes no difference w/ trying to activate voice...

Nevermind...
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
Shouldn't be bricked...you just need to get hold of the right flash(maybe Kies) and then re-enter download mode the usual way...
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Ok...

So far...

Looks like the hardware's all there.

I've got the phone working, but dialing anything gives me;

"This phone you are using does not allow outgoing calls.

Please hang up and dial

611

and report

FL095959 "

When I try to call that number from my other phone, I get;

"at the subscribers request, this device does not accept incoming calls. code FL095958"

Looks like the hardware's fine, everything to make/receive calls IS there. It's being blocked. Now to ring them and see if I can get it unlocked by sim/imei/humble groveling.
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Oh, this was using Odin and flashing;

JHA.tar

over.

I'm going to get a few more things applied over the top to bring it upto spec/latest fixes, see where we go from there.

But I'll say it again, this US model, TMobile Galaxy Tab DOES appear to support voice calls. The hardware DOES support it.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
Try another T-mobile SIM card, one with voice and data. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Which firmware did you flash? Isn't the latest the JK1?
[Galaxy Tab General] stevena1844:
I think you are on to something i had to change to a web connect plan to upgrade online then when i tried to make a call with my g2 said same exact message. Voice is barred on a web connect plan and gives that message. pleeaeaseaseaseaese i hope this works LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
SUCCESS!!!

We have a working Tmobile US Galaxy Tab making/receiving phone calls.

Off for a coffee, will write everything up in a mo.

Someone want to let Engadget/Gizmodo know!?
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
OMG!!! effing fantastic....

You are amazing.... thank you so MUCH!

I will try to let engadget know that you did it and will be posting the solution soon...

WooHoo and a cyberhighfive!

you are a great great man. idk how u even got passed the bootscreen. i just got a new tab, exchanged my bricked one. keep us up to date. maybe you should start another thread too
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Nice work man! I bought a tab yesterday with the hope that phone functionality would be available soon. I can sleep comfortably tonight now :)

[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
Just flash the EURO firmware version. But now I am only getting EDGE. Of course I also need a new SIM with voice and data. The hardware is there guys!! Now I only need to unlock this puppy.
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Well, most of the info came from;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827853&page=3

post 23.

I just started from a different version as I wasn't able to dial the keypad to find out what I currently had installed.

I'm still not sure if the phone.apk's would have worked, think I was doing it wrong, but many thanks to people who posted theirs. If that does work, it'd be far easier and less 'omg I think I've just trashed it' moments.

So..

After a few moments of the Android restore shell, the download screen, and the 'phone-!-computer' screen (which as it turns out isn't anything to worry about, you can still connect up using odin to flash).

Download Odin3 v1.70

do some googling for;

P1000XXJHA

for the base rom.

Used;

P1_20100909.pit

for formating. Selected 'Repartition' 'AutoReboot' 'fResetTime'. That rebooted with nothing.

Then, unchecked the 'repartion' part (as the structure is setup, don't want to screw it up, the next flashing needs to 'drop in' where the structure is.

Then, loading into the JHA.rar, flashed that and rebooted.

After some power off/on/off/on again, it's back to being usuable (previous to this, all my other attempts were locking it up at various screens).

The Phone icon WAS visible, but unable to make phone calls.

Now... I was a bit rash here, I also flashed P1000OXAJK1.tar (Repartion set to OFF!) to upgrade, AND I swapped sims to my known working Sim card.

At this point, it rebooted, showed 'Emergency Calls only'

Went into the wireless/Mobile Settings/NetworkOperators and made sure it was connected to TMobile. That that point, I made my first call and it worked.

Received a call too, also working.

Everything else 'appears' to be working apart from the browsing which looks like some APN setting. Every page I'm trying to access takes me to the Tmobile site. I need to set something/have something set I guess. The settings /look/ right, but can't get to non-tmobile if I'm not using wireless.

Though it also looks like I'm not getting much signal too. 1 bar tops (sure I was getting 3 before flashing) so guess there's some issues with the radio. Don't know what todo about that. Not showing the '3', just 'e' when I'm connecting up too. (-107dBm, 3asu, network type : edge)

The settings/about shows 'phone' information, not 'tablet' information as it did before too.

Overall though, it's working ok. Once I get the 3g browsing sorted, it'll be perfect.
[Galaxy Tab General] kmo1:
Has anyone started working on the CDMA version?
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Can we compare the system files between the euro firmware and the US firmware? I mean if the only difference is the phone.apk or if there are other things, I'm sure we can just push them to a rooted tab and be done with this.
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
That'd be great. Would have loved to swap in those .apk's posted earlier, but I'd /just/ started flashing at that point.
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
Just throwing this out there, but could it be the radio version that is on the tab that is causing the issue? Wondering if upgrading the radio to a different version would work?
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Try *#2263#

Then try enable all the bands manually, and hit me back.

PS: Don't worry, you can't do any damage to your phone through this menu ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
thanks again Jyveafk.... so basically you flashed the European JK1 firmware and went from there...

Unfortunately for me, I may need a little more info on downloading Odin, etc... or perhaps the tmo guy who's been most helpful can help me... I don't really follow all of the steps.... and when you say you "got a bit rash"... are those things that should be done by us as well?

And you used a Sim card with known voice and data on it? The tmo guy told me he didn't think that was necessary ... he said as long as I have voice on my plan, which I do, that the Sim card has nothing to do with it... but it appears as if it does?

also, pls let us know about the edge issues, etc... it sounds as if you will get them resolved...

good going! and thanks

so much

for posting.... sorry I have so many questions, buy my programming days are long in the past and I'm new to Android, so trying to piece it all together!
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
I'm not sure if that is a good idea. We dont want T-Mobile or other carriers know about this loophole. What if they specifically block all the devices through IMEI?

That would be bad.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
They better not. I paid full price.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Well, then they're going to get a lot of returned Tabs... cus I won't keep it if I can't use it as a phone in the US. I'm sure they'll find out about it... and frankly, they'll make more money, so they probably won't complain too much.
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
I went ahead and pushed all the files from the dropbox and nothing changed except for the fact that I lost all radio functionality. The phone app wasn't there either. Oh well, guess this isn't the solution.

[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
What bands have to be enable?
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
I'm enabling all variations, but as wiki shows;

850 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G	Non-native accessible via roaming agreement

1900 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G	Largest network in the United States

1700/2100 MHz	UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+	3G	Uses AWS Auctioned Spectrum

those are the only ones that are working for me, selecting others knocks the phone off, but it's still only showing EDGE in the notification bar.

Selecting WCDMA preferred/only doesn't appear to be doing much. Though maybe it's local issues, I've had problems before here (Miami), and usually end up dropping back to GSM.

So, working for Edge, it's GSM/WCDMA (auto Mode) in Mobile network Settings.

If I goto the phone testing options (using Any Cut and going to 'testing', 4636 from phone), it's showing 'GSM Auto (PRL)' and it connects to EDGE. If I change it to wcdma preferred, I drop connection.

But there's only 1 bar showing. Maybe it's where I am, but the nexus one is showing 2 bars atm.

Oh well, appears to be working for ow.

Will take it out tomorrow and see what's what.
[Galaxy Tab General] samsci:
For TMobile, I believe the following:

850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)
[Galaxy Tab General] cjsblues:
Anyone have the stock T-Mobile US modem file?

If anyone can grab the modem.bin from the stock T-Mobile US Galaxy Tab, then we can drop it on top of the JK1 ROM and hopefully get 3G back.

Post it here if you have it.

If its like the Vibrant, then I can create an Odin tar file to flash.

[Galaxy Tab General] deafjam:
I followed the steps, i get black screen when booting up. But if I wait and the soft buttons light up, I can press volume buttons and/or power button and I'll finally get the screen to show. The only thing I did different was installed P1000XXJK1 firmware update instead of the one mentioned. And wow, the boot screen is different, it says Galaxy Tab and has a different home screen. Step by step instructions. This euro rom seems to run a lot smoother and better than the us version. I get samsung apps, music hub, readerhub or whatever, and can connect to market via wifi without 3g service. Musichub doesnt work in my country, but reader does. Mediahub is missing. I can make phone calls!

[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
There are those (you know who you are) in this thread and elsewhere that are at the very least threatening to return the Tab to T-Mobile and punishing them by either not keeping the device, not getting another phone with them, etc. Wasn't it Samsung that did this? It is no different on any of the 4 carriers, right? It all seems rather childish, am I alone in this opinion?

Don't get me wrong. Kudos to the people who have hacked device into submission. Power to the people. However, I believe the feelings may be misdirected. When the iPad was released, I must have missed the whole controversy involving people wanting it to be a phone. Maybe it never happened. AT&T and T-Mobile should both be punished for not selling the iPad and Tab as phones, right? They're both mobile carriers, how dare they release an mobile device that isn't a phone, right? No, Apple wanted the device that way in the US and Samsung may have chosen to closely emulate that. After all, Apple showed that Americans are willing to pay for a phone and tablet separately. We got lucky that Samsung released the software to add the feature elsewhere to simplify hacking efforts where the Apple iPad folks are likely just SOL.
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
I think we should really stay on topic. But, if I were to blame anyone I would blame samsung just like I blamed apple for the iPad. But returning it to tmobile is how you punish both parties; its the only effective way to do it.

I think I might do this today. Wishing there was a detailed step by step. Also, if you look at the page with all the various firmwares you can see where it says "for carriers" or something like that and tmobile is listed. Maybe that needs to be flashed on top of everything. Not sure what it is tho.

You would need a SIM attached to a phone and data plan AND still need to input the Access points
[Galaxy Tab General] gehzumteufel:
I don't have a Tab, but I can tell you right now (just due to the way CDMA on Verizon works), you won't get this happening. The implementation that Verizon and Sprint use, have an internal sim-like chip, that does access control. So it takes care of the activation and what services you are provisioned. You would have to find a way to load a hacked PRL, which can easily be updated by Verizon remotely. So, in essence, you are wasting your time.

Now that Bell & Rogers will be getting the Tab, wonder if theirs will have the voice calling by default or not. Nothing on the Canadian sites says it will or will not. Sure do hope so as AT&T customers will most likley benefit as we use the 850/1900 3G bands like Bell & Rogers do. Sure do hope so.
