[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
hey what worked for me is i put the modemswitch folder into the INTERNAL memory[main folder] and i also put the switch.sh file into INTERNAL..

iono why it wasnt working on my external SD[got same errors as you] but once i did this...everything worked fine and i didnt get the error you got.

let me know if that helps you. as of right now my modemswitch folder is still located in my internal memory and i can switch back and forth easily.

edit- didnt see that u did this already. umm try to do it a few times. last night it wasnt switching for me.. so i charged the tab all the way up, switched my wifi off and did it again this morning and it switched for me..
[Galaxy Tab General] fishguyis:
Hey magnum,

I have tried at least 50+ times hitting the switch shortcut and i always get the same error...

I noticed in the post there was a problem with the switch.sh file from the OP but he said he fixed it... I re-downloaded the zip and tried everything again and still get the same error. ARGH getting frustrated LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
idk, try to switch over to the overcome rom/kernel[if you haven't already] and try it that way if you want the 3g..

i must say the euro tab is nice and the 3g works good, i was video chatting earlier with no lag and even hit H speeds, not sure the big difference between 3g and H tho.

oh yeah my sim was from my tmo vibrant/g2 so it seems like we have the same set up, just dont understand why you are getting that error.

oh heres the info for my tab

model - gtp1000

firmware-2.2

baseband-t959tjl3 roto-2g

kernel version

2.6.32.9

frank@overcome #45

build # overcome v1.2.0

just giving you the information so you can match it up to mine to see if the 3g works. good luck bruh
[Galaxy Tab General] fishguyis:
I am not sure if this makes a difference but the GT is from Bell Mobility and if I go to "wireless/network", "mobile Networks", network mode, I get GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)

GSM only

WCDMA only

Does that mean there is no 3G available at all?

Thanks for your patience, I have been reading like crazy...

M
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
no because mine has gsm/wcdma in automode also and i get 3g..

im not sure about bell mobility GT but if its not working after all the work you should probably try to flash over to Overcome and see if it changes anything.
[Galaxy Tab General] fishguyis:
Ok I will read up on how to flash over to Overcome.

Thanks SOO much for you help Magnum I really appreciate it.

I came from iOS and was very comfortable with jailbreaking etc. This is very new to me but I am LOVING ANDROID!!!!!!

[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
So you are saying that you have Tmobile 3G on your TAB International Version GT-p1000 ? If so Please let me know what you did to have it ?
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
yes I have 3g on my tab when I switch to it.. look @ my sig thats everything I have installed..just install the same rom and kernel I have.
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
I think I may have a problem here....I flashed my Tab with the JJI latest firmware from Samfirmware....and I failed to reflash it to another PDA....I doubt that I could reflash everything to what u have now :(

What makes you have the 3G anyway ? is it the modem ? or is it the Rom ? Kernel
[Galaxy Tab General] fishguyis:
Ok so I followed the guide to flash overcome.

I am at the part where you need to install zip from sdcard. after I select that option there is nothing to select on the next screen. HELP!!!!

M.
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
make sure your sdcard is mounted, when you choose to install it lets you go into the directories like your in astro file manager or something.. im not exactly sure why its not showing up, it takes alot of playing with to get it to work.. trust me, i spent all of yesterday messin with my tab lol

another option is u can try to put the rom on both ur external and internal card and just choose whichever one shows up..
[Galaxy Tab General] fishguyis:
Hey Magnum,

The card is mounted, and the file is on both the internal and external cards. USB debugging is on etc. The funny thing is that when I go to look at the external card it shows it's 1.87gb free of 1.87gb but I dragged and dropped the zip into it using windows explorer...

I have been at this all day non stop GEESH!

while in CWM I am getting sd-ext.img not found and it wont let me mount it in CWM either I get the message E:failed to mount /sd-ext (no such file or directory)
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
Now I had installed Overcome and Roto modem switcher.....someone is saying EFS messing is needed to have 3G....Please private message me
[Galaxy Tab General] mail_e60:
Hey did you guys ever get to the bottom of exactly how you got 3G and Voice both working on the International Tab?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] EngineerEhab:
thanks for your news . hope its gonna be soon
[Galaxy Tab General] polapine:
Tmobile 3g on international Galaxt TAB

Would you please give us the modem file you have used? I`m using

Model number GT-p1000M (SGHI987)

Firmware 2.3.6

Baseband T849UVjjB_ROTO-3G (after useing roto modem switcher)

Kernerll 2.6.35.7

Overcome-v4

Still no 3G.. and i saw somewhere you have to delete the EFS folder.. but not sure where to look for EFS folder..

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Deleting /efs folder doesn't affect 3g. Deleting /efs folder is to spoof your device ID so T-Mobile network doesn't see it as a tab. It will be seen as a basic phone, and will stop your browser redirecting you to a login at T-Mobile.com
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Dear polapine

You are confused and wasting your time. Your tab does not have hardware capability to operate on Tmo frequencies for 3G. Software can't help to change this fact.

The same true for Tmo tablet - it cannot operate on AT&T 3G, however, it can do it in Europe because they use 2100MHz for 3G.

Please, save yourself from troubles and don't touch IMEI, it won't help you.

My advice for you, get AT&T service and get 3G.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
if what you are saying is true, then my T-Mo branded tab with JPZ modem theoretically can't run on Australia's Optus 3G/HSDPA network of 2100MHz because the hardware is different from the P1000 ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
All T-mo 3G phones and tablets work just fine on 2100MHz network. That what I said. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

US carriers use two frequencies in a two different frequency bands for transmission and receiving while other countries do this in one 2100MHz frequency band. These two US bands are different for AT&T and T-mo thus incompatible (and anticompetitive).

Some T-mo phones have hardware compatible with AT&T but I am not aware that such exists on tablets.
[Galaxy Tab General] alpinegroove:
No 3G

I have a t-mobile bran Tab, updated to Overcome.

I tried different modems but can't get 3G with my data only plan.

The last thing I tried was the switcher. It switches to the 3g modem just fine, but I am still getting only E.

Any suggestions?

GT-P1000

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Weird issue. I'm not receiving texts unless I send one to the person first. I've got one of the original evos from June. I rooted it the long way and ran fresh roms forever and never had issues. Last week I flashed CM and tried every kernel available and the phone was glitchy no matter what. For instance I would lose the ability to turn data on and off after the phone had been running a while. Most kernels also resulted in a bootloop. Then yesterday I lost the ability to send texts, but I was receiving them. So, tried to nand restore my fresh rom and apparently it was corrupted because it never booted, only looped. So, I wiped everything and reflashed fresh and the phone has been running fine again except for the text issue. Again, I only receive them after I have texted someone. Once I've texted them once I receive all future texts normally. Any clues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Also, I just tried updating the profile and my PRL and was unable to do so. My data connection is working though.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I called Customer Loyalty and got a nice lady and was friendly to her. I didn't threaten to cancel or anything, here is a paraphrasing of the conversation:

Me: "I have a friend who recommended T-Mobile to me, and he has a Vibrant with a $20 data and when I asked about it in the store they said they could only activate me under the $30 plan, but I could talk to a customer service to change my plan."

Rep: I don't see that option being available on your account.

Me: <silence>

Rep: Well let me see what I can find....(10 seconds later)...I can definitely make that change on your account for you.

Me: Thank you so much, that really helps out. Have a great day.

Obviously there was some paraphrasing but it was pretty much as simple as "I know someone who has this, can I have it?" I now have 2 MT4G's with $20 data plans on a contract that is a week old.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
But what did you pay for the phone?

I went entirely through retention and they offered (I did not ask) the phone for $99 in addition to the $20 plan.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I got the phones for 79.99 each both with a $50 rebate in-store after I showed them the Wirefly/Bank of America deal.

So 29.99 after rebate a piece.
[myTouch 4G General] iamdeemo:
I too have the $20 android data plan on my MT4g. I've had it for a few months with my other android devices.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Nice (but with $20 plan)? Also, upgrade or new plan?

I am surprised you got the deal at a store - as they were wining about how they were not allowed to do deals there - especially with respect to the plans. I went through retention because of this.
[myTouch 4G General] diversificationied:
Maybe it's the 2gig plan and not the unlimited plan?
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
I've had the $20 data plans for a while now (unlimited data) for all 3 of my data using lines. They are AWESOME. But I got to pay $125 (after instant rebate) for my mytouch4g which is fine because they've hooked me up sooooooooooooooo much in the past few years that I am not about to complain about what better pricing they offer me. They are truly awesome and the best part is.... most of the time, like 99% of the time, they offer me these deals and I don't have to ask them for a damned thing. Now THAT is rare.

I've been with them also since 2002 so that helps a bit lol.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
It was on new contract activations and I got the unlimited plan for $20
[myTouch 4G General] Cheeze[iT]:
Hopefully this will be able to tether :) Hope that its truely "unlimited"
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
I tried this also but I was told it was not available for me. I was told it was for long term customers.
[myTouch 4G General] Scoop24:
i had the umlimited android plan for $25. i called the Rentention just now and they upgraded me to the new 4g unlimited data plan for the same $25. saving me $5 according to the rep.
[myTouch 4G General] Scoop24:
For those thats wondering it is noticably faster.
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
Odd, because I just called them as well and they told me there is no need to change my package because either way I have unlimited data and that includes 4G network where I live. As part of their unlimited data package it includes, edge, 2g, 3g, and 4g so my $20 unlimited data package is just fine...esp. considering my phone is a 4G phone. Hmmmmm =/

It's basically just a rename as I take it then. They both said the package operates the exact same way.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I have the same plan, but when I go to my account at their website and check on services for that line, it pops up a message that I need to convert to the 4G plan (for $30 of course).

I will not do it, as I agreed to going from a $15 unlimited data plan to the unlimited "android" plan for $20 only 2 weeks ago to get the upgrade MT4G.

I may have to get the retention dept to "fix" this (they can do a lot of things the regular support cannot do - like activate a new line on my @home service - which is otherwise no longer supported)
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
Yeah it's actually been like that for me for months now. For some reason the loyalty dept.s data package doesn't show online for me as well. And every time I tried to go in to change services (well to add visual voicemail) it popped up.

They expressed to me our packages are no different then those with the name of 4G. I would hope so lol.

I might call them and see if they can fix that too online though for future use.

*edit* I just called he said it has something to do with the fact that the data package given to us thru loyalty (the pricing being the difference) doesn't appropriate with the system for some odd reason but they put in a request to have it fixed, :) ALSO He assured me "200%" that our package is "exact same" as this so called 4G package :D but simply for better lack of understanding "renamed to 4G package" because before they had 5 or 6 different types, now its simply 2.
[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
Most people can't make use of unlimited data. If you look at your data usage you might want to take the 200 mb (there is no 2 gb plan as suggest by JCorpornicus). On my 3 lines we were using at the max about 80,000 kb on one of the phones (the 200 mb plan is for each phone) so we took the $10 200 mb plan on each phone. Saved a lot of money!
[myTouch 4G General] Uchennadi:
I wonder if they charge you overage on the 200mb plan once you go over, or if they cap it like the 5gb plan. If its the latter, I would totally switch to save money, as I'm always around wifi anyway.

It also doesn't make sense that they charge $20 for 5gb and $10 for just 200mb o__O something seems off about that.
[myTouch 4G General] OneBadLT123:
I just called in hopes of getting this deal and the rep told me the $20 data plan does not include text messages and to add text messages it would be $5 for 300 or $14 for unlimited.

The current plan I am on right now is 400 text messages and unlimited data for $25

I called and tried to sound calm and nice just asking for help but they only offered that or unlimited text/data for $30

I have been with them for 8 years now. Am I missing something here?
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
what is the NAME OF THIS PLAN FOR THE VIBRANT..... (crickets?)
[myTouch 4G General] Lakeshow423:
Whats thw diffrence between the two? I am currently on the unlimited android plan is yhe 4g unlimited better? Been a tmobile customer since 1999. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Mine says Preferred mytouch unlimited web plan for $20
[myTouch 4G General] jjjackson56:
But the real question is what do you pay for eveything else? I called and tried to get a better plan and they told me I have a grandfathered in plan that cant be matched. I pay $49.99 for unlimited minutes plus $25 for unlimited data and $9.99 for unlimited texts they said the could change me to $25 for unlimited data and messages for the $25 price my minutes price would go up to $59.99 so I would be paying the same price anyways.
[myTouch 4G General] zweetz32:
i don't believe there is such thing as a "4g" plan. It's the same plan. Anyone charging you more is just bsing you.
[myTouch 4G General] Scoop24:
Well im not being charged more . But my speeds when im at work definetly increased I download a 150mb file in about 3 mins. As before that would take like 10+ minutes. So maybe it is the same maybe its not . I called a few times to see if I could get any reps to tell me if it was same as previous poster stated he got when he said he called. They seem to claim it runs under a new advanced network. As compared to the mytouch data plan I had. So idk.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I'm sorry but this is false. The whole reason T-Mobile picked HSPA+ as their next-gen data protocol is b/c they have a fraction of the bandwidth of Sprint (who has more than Verizon & AT&T combined thanks to Nextel acquisition...true story), AT&T, or Verizon. HSPA+ runs on top of the current 3G bandwidth.

This has a nice benefit of making regular 3g, non-HSPA+ devices faster when in an HSPA+ area. The ONLY difference between having a HSPA+ device is that 3G has a maximum threshold of like 7.2mbps and HSPA+ has a theoretical cap of like 21mbps.

So the rep saying the 4g plan is running on a "new advanced network" is either ignorant or disingenuous on their part.

Valuable Reading

18 Confessions Of 2 Former T-Mobile Reps -- Old But Good

Tough Love From A Current T-Mobile Retention Rep

- The one point of contradiction between these 2 articles are 2 year contracts. I'm indifferent about these honestly, I know some ppl are for them and some ppl are against them. I prefer to get them if the deal is good enough (I got 2 MT4G's for 30 bucks/piece with 2 new contracts). At the end of the day your ETF is $200 at most, and your high end android phone resells for at least $250 or more....just sayin.
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
Hmmm, interesting. Thank you for posting those. So even though they gave me the phone for $124.99 and even though they said they did an 'instant rebate' of the $50, and they gave me a $20 data package, I can still get a MIR? Seems a bit like cheating the system to me lol. I mean I don't know how it works so I might be reading it wrong. Either way, I'm happy with what they gave me.
[myTouch 4G General] nmw407:
Nope, not cheating the system, just working it to our advantage.

I got the phone for 149.99 (matched the wirefly price) and I just submitted my rebate form for 50 off. Total cost for the phone 99.99.

I did that too when I bought the G1 so long ago. They gave me the phone for 129.99, there was a 50 off rebate, and HTC actually had another rebate if I traded another phone in. Got another 50 off that, so the G1 ended up costing me 29.99. Not a bad deal at all.
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
True. My only concern is that the loyalty dept. put me on a $20 data plan and on the rebate it states a $29.99 or higher... :(
[myTouch 4G General] nmw407:
Plans 29.99 or higher means your overall plan (minutes + text) for an individual plan. Unless your minutes plan is a really old grandfathered plan that was way lower than 29.99, you should be able to take advantage of the rebate.
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
OHHHH lol that makes sense. I have a family plan and it's more then the $49.99+ it states on the rebate form for family plans. Plus I have data and text and all that.

Okay thank you so very much for clearing that up, I appreciate it :D Looks like once my rebate clears I will have only paid $75 for the phone :D
[myTouch 4G General] Gr8gorilla:
Tmobile has a new 79.99 "4G" rate plan. It is 1500 Minutes, and unlimited text and web.

I was paying 89.99 for Unlimited everything (10 messaging, 20 data, and 59.99 unlimited minutes.) The new plan is still 59.99 for 1500 minutes but the unlimited data and text messages are $20!
[myTouch 4G General] OnE ShoT:
Can u get the $20 data plan if u have even more plus?
[G Tablet Accessories] ncbenhk:
Is there a HDMI dock that will work with the G Tablet? Viewsonic hasn't released one yet.
[G Tablet Accessories] roebeet:
There is one in existence, but only in China at the moment. Found this:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7897273357

I also called Viewsonic CS last week and they said a dock is forthcoming, perhaps in a few weeks.
[G Tablet Accessories] Crimton:
this will probably be the 1 of the first accessories that I purchase, really looking forward to this
[G Tablet Accessories] Lancealot:
I believe it's been confirmed that this dock connector is not the same as the iPod, PDMI, or Samsung Galaxy Tab connectors. It may likely be similar to the Dell Streak, however this has not been confirmed.

Cheers
[G Tablet Accessories] mikegscott:
The Streak connector doesn't seem to fit.
[G Tablet Accessories] dkhilo:
Charging Dock?

This is supposed to charge as well, right?
[G Tablet Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
they should be releasing a proper one soon
[G Tablet Accessories] GeneralSpecific:
I have personally tried the iPod and Galaxy connectors, neither work.
[G Tablet Accessories] Lemcott:
the dock is only 15 bucks? (100.00元 = $15)

that is amazingly good.
[G Tablet Accessories] amathophobia:
Ethernet! Fun stuff.
[G Tablet Accessories] e-motion:
Which means they will probably sell it to us here in the $40-$60 range even though it's about $3 worth of parts...
[G Tablet Accessories] rothnic:
I was told by some guys in China who work on the Zpad that the $15 dock is a really crappy knock off. They will let me know when cases and docks become available.

Just got off the phone with customer support; they claim that accessories will be available towards the end of november through the first half of december. They also said a massive update is coming on november 22nd. Flash was December 19th.
[G Tablet Accessories] linckraker:
a picture of the dock connector. has anyone trying to get pinout for the connector?

2 for power

10 for HDMI

either 4 or 8 for Ethernet

4 or 5 for USB

am i missing anything?

30 pin connector
[G Tablet Accessories] iamnarada:
Well, it's been speculated that the port conforms to the PDMI, There is a pin diagram wikipedia. I don't know if anyone has been able to try the Dell streak cable with the tablet yet, but it's been speculated that it also has a PDMI interface.
[G Tablet Accessories] Crimton:
i think someone confirmed that dell streak cable did not fit.
[G Tablet Accessories] Linuxslate:
According to that picture, it is NOT PDMI.

PDMI actually has 2 rows (sides) of 15 pins.

Also, PDMI does not have Ethernet, although it may be possible that there is a USB hub and Ethernet adapter in the base of that zPad dock.

(Good find, amathophobia)

BTW, I'm the one that originally theorized that the Streak was PDMI, and made the Streak PDMI <--> USB adapter. I have the PDMI pinout on my site.

Hopefully, I'll have my G tab latter today, so I'll revise this if necessary, but I'm pretty sure we know the answer.
[G Tablet Accessories] xfernand:
This is very cool. Can't wait for those to get here....
[G Tablet Accessories] reacheks:
The docking station made for the ZPad from China manufactured by MALATA may be the one you are referring too. Here is a link with several pictures of their docking station w/ the ZPad mounted. It looks similar to the one you posted. The connector layout and overall design of the ZPad looks exactly the same as the Viewsonic G Tablet.

What I really like in the MALATA docking station is their built in fan. There has been some discussion that the Nvidia Tegra 2 chip gets a bit hot and if you have the tablet on while in the docking station (perhaps viewing a movie or just w/ the power on), the Tablet should stay cool and never over heat. This is good (as long as it is quiet) since I plan to have the Tablet docked and always on using it like a bed side radio.

Not allowed to post the direct link as a new member but a search of MALATA ZPad featured at China digitalshow should get you to the page.

Any guess weather the MALATA hardware is exactly the same form as the Viewsonic G Tablet?
