I just started a thread on this, but how do you enter the unlock code, with no dialer? I just got mine from Tmobile and the directions they sent assume I have a dialer... funny.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
The unlock dialog pops up on first boot with a foreign SIM installed with a numeric keypad.

How did you get yor unlock code? are you a Jedi?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
You need to unlock it to use the AT&T SIM, I dont know if it will work for data as I had flashed the euro firmware before I could test that scenario. If it doesn't work, I have a new radio.bin that will make it work.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I used a hex editor on the nv_data.bin, changed the right bits around based on data I found elsewhere. I also got my official unlock code to work a few minutes ago, I had to flash the Tmobile modem.bin, then unlock.

If you pay full price, Tmobile will give you the code.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
Dude, how did you get your unlock code? Are you Yoda?
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
I called them and told them I was traveling and needed it asap, they sent it 2 days later via email. Funny thing is, now that I figured out how to enter it... thanks to this forum!!!.... it doesn't work... gives me a message "unsucessful"
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
It will once you set back some original files. Put your original nv_data.bin back, and if you flashed a new modem.bin you will need to flash the original tmobile modem.bin back, then on the next boot with a foreign SIM, it will succeed after you enter the code.
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
Thanks for all your help, it's strange since I haven't flashed or change anything on the Tab.... it's standard TMobile rom right now... any more ideas, could 3 failed attempts lock me out for good?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Thats odd, its should work then. Its an 8 digit number right? I had 6 failures before I gave up, probably over 20 after trying different things. So it shouldn't lock you out after just 3.
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
That's good news about the 3 failed unlock attempts... I was feeling some stress! Yes it is an 8 digit number. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Try calling their tech support, they're not that bad and they really do try to help.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
so say i return my tmous tab and get an att tab get the unlock code from att flash euro rom insert my tmobile unlimited sim card will i then get phone and 3g?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Nope, an AT&T Tab will not get 3g with a Tmobile SIM
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
so as of right now only way is buy euro tab and insert att sim
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
No, as of now there is NO way to have a 3G Tab + phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
i thought shollywood said he has 3g plus phone on his euro tab with att sim
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
To get my unlock code... all I did was call T-Mobile up and asked for Customer Service. A very nice lady helped me out. She filled out their form on the phone with me. Asked me all sorts of questions. I then had to fax over a copy of my receipt showing I paid full retail price. A day later I got an email with the Unlock info. They did say it could take up to 7 days, but usually takes about 24-48 hours. Pretty easy actually. It did however take me an hour to get through it all.

So to actually unlock the device... turn it off, stick in my AT&T SIM card, boot up and then a dialer will pop up, enter the info and that should be it? Is that how it is done?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Yes, that is it. Thats the same process I had to do, fax the receipt. I did it last night and got mine at noon today.
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
Yes that's how you get to the unlock screen, let me know if your code works, because mine didn't... I started a thread on this too.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
Will do. Thanks everyone for helping.

You know... when all is said and done, I still think I am going to pick up an AT&T version on Sunday (still keeping the T-Mobile one too). I still want to get this thing on 3G Data. Hopefully I'll be able to use it is a Hotspot also... fingers crossed. If not, I'll have my SIM card cloned and piggy back off my Captivate.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
The Tmo has 3G speeds... don't quite understand.
[Galaxy Tab General] dalethefarmer:
Clone your sim card... and how are you going to pull that off?
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
so what is the best route to get the most out of your tab because theres so much info out here that im getting so confused
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Me too. I'd wait till Sunday when we get an AT&T Tab, then the fun begins all over! Possibly with better results.
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
Any adavantages for getting 3g and the phone working in the AT&T Tab, is so maybe it's a better move?
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
I do running just fine
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
In which state of the USA? Where I'm located none of my euro phones get 3g on AT&T.
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
WA State...When I'm north, Rogers/Fido works great as well!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
fyi... clubtech and brucewilsonpa also get 3G on their Euro tabs with ATT sims.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
xexes,

Yes the T-Mobile version has 3G speed... but apparently we can't get that to work with it unlocked on AT&T's service, just EDGE speeds.

As for cloning a SIM card, you just have to know someone that has the tech to clone SIM card data onto a blank one. There are places online that can do it. So basically you would have your plan on a carrier with a SIM card. That SIM card can be used on Phone. The cloned one is in another device. The downfall is only one device can be on at any given time... otherwise the carrier will know.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Excellent, thats good to know!
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I think you have old information, or the sites are referring to version 1 SIMS, new SIM encryption hasn't been cracked yet AFAIK.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
SF Bay Area, CA - i am getting 3G with the euro version and making calls.

Cleveland OH area is also all 1900Mhz WCDMA and i got 3G and could make calls on at&t with the euro version.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
has anybody tried tmo sim and euro version
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
All we need now is a modified modem.bin to enable tmobile 3G and I'm good to go! Who's working on this? Also, can someone post the stock modem.bin please. Its been asked several times. Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
Well... no go on Unlocking my device. The code they sent isn't working. Only tried once though and it was unsuccessful. Figure I'll give customer service a call tomorrow when they are open.

Got it to work. So atleast it is unlocked now.
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
OK. Now that I got the device Unlocked... how do I get it setup for AT&T Data? Guessing I need to change the APN settings? Anyone know what or where I can find them?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I never had to, it just worked out of the box. Do you have no internet right now? Are you set to "GSM Only"?
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
Not sure whats up. Just popped in my AT&T sim and no Internet. It has a Data plan on it. Are there other settings I need to consider?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Just that in settings, you have to select GSM Only
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Do you have an APN for AT&T set up?

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
GSM only is selected. Still nothing. Is there anything else that needs to be changed under Mobile Network Settings? The SIM card is fine and the Device see's it as AT&T.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Unfortunately I never got to test the stock US ROM with my AT&T SIM, since I was shooting for the phone capability right out of the hole. Theres got to be someone else around with that configuration.
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
As stated above, I'm pretty sure you need to create the access point...
[Galaxy Tab General] moviecouple:
Well, with just having the device Unlocked and using my AT&T SIM card... It wouldn't connect at all to AT&T's network.

I had to create an APN and enter AT&T's info and then it connect immediately to their EDGE network. Now it seems to work fine.

As a side note. Just picked up a Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200 Hotspot. For $40 I get unlimited 3G service running off Sprints network and it can connect up to 5 devices also. Got it for $130 + first month free. Not a bad deal and a good alternative to all the plans for the Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] feisley:
A couple interesting notes regarding the European model (GT-P1000) and at&t 3G...

By default the radio seems to have the following 3G bands selected:

2100

1900

900

When I tested with a T-mobile sim and tried to change the frequency, there was no success and the connection simply dropped when i selected the T-mobile 3G frequency.

However, When i selected the formerly disabled 850 band for at&t 3G it maintained a 3G connection after reconnecting.

Because I am in the SF Bay Area, I have access to both the 1900 and the 850 bands, but this test would be interesting to be done by someone not covered by the 1900 band and see if it might enable 3G for at&t there.
[Galaxy Tab General] joedoe:
Are you still going to write that application or at least to writeup the procedure?

Hi, I'm having this weird problem where some apps can't see media files on my SD card.

I can see them and open them in file explorers but Gallery and any app that uses gallery to show the files can't seem to detect them.

I can't change wallpapers or place any custom icons atm and its really annoying Tbh.

I've restarted the phone numerous times, tried SDscan, media rescan, and extended widgets media scanner - to no prevail. I've also dismounted and remounted the SD.

I don't think its the SD card itself at fault because all the apps on it work fine and file explorer has no problems at all.

SOLVED: reformatting SD card fixed the problem. Hopefully it won't happen again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liamfm:
My Evo started giving me a\n error 67 yesterday. It has been working great on 4g and 3g until yesterday. I'm running Fresh.

I tried the ##3282, entered my msl, did a data profile restore.

When the phone reboots to hands free activation it won't connect to the network.

I am at home which has an air rave, if that makes a difference.

If I hit activate I get a force close.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillysquid:
in the 1.6 version did you have the backup/restore app (it arrived on mine in one of the 1.6 incremental upgrades).

If you do then that can back up your texts and you can reimport using the 2.1 version of the backup/restore app (at least thats how I did it).

(Just make sure you don't restore backed up system settings from 1.6!)

Hi, please help me, I cant flash radio on Magic 32A.

at the beginning, I had a problem with calls, either I have not heard or dropped call or not at all impossible to call while I had signal.

I recently bought a phone with ROM smoke X1 radio 6.35.xx with SPL 1.76.2007.

I thought that it would only problem with radio, so I wanted to cast using 3.22.xx RadioSwitcherGUI v.4.0. I put the flash just like to 3.22.xx and it took place nicely successfull,

then I wanted to flash CM RC1, but my recovery was not running, so I decided to fix it all by RadioSwitcherGUI v.4.0 with button "flash old", but radio flashing during write to me failure :( .

Again I tried to flash radio only by radioswithcer, but again unsuccessfully, then I tried to flash using fastboot and radio 6.35.xx and 3.22.xx, even after 15min. was only a black screen.

Through fastboot I then installed RA recovery, the works, and to know to get fastboot no problem, just I cant flash radio.

Can I save phone? Or is bricked?
