Same thing happened to me and I didn't discover it til yesterday... had been using wifi all along... but in my case it was because I was on a voice plan...

effing Tmo.... just about to kiss 'em goodbye. Which makes me sad because AT&T is really not an option for me... and I don't think phone calling will be enabled on VZ or Sprint.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
we all new this, this is nothing new...
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I cancelled my Tmobile account today. After I got the Tab, I went to my account online and switched it to a voice/data/txt plan, which took effect today. I quickly tested it, and It was blocked, so I called up and cancelled.

The first customer service girl said "Awww!" when I told her I was cancelling.

The second one asked if I would like to be switched to the proper web connect plan. I said no thank you, your service plans are inadequate for my needs.

They just lost my $2300/year :)

Asshats!
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Yeah... I think I'm heading down the same path... after I discovered that the voice plan was causing me to be redirected to Tmo on 2G/3G... no flashing, nothing else ... I just figure, **** 'em.

If they want to make it this difficult to use it as a phone, when AT&T didn't go to any of the efforts Tmo has gone to to block calling plus data, it's just not worth fighting them anymore.

Sadly, this is probably the death knell for the Tab for me... unless I just resign myself to carrying two devices... or perhaps I might try the ATT and see if wifi will work okay... their 3G service is terribly spotty in my area.

If it's only going to be an internet device and not a phone, might as well go for the less than half price Archos 70...
[Galaxy Tab General] jtc442:
Call me stupid i guess, but im gonna try to stick it out and see what happens. Is there any prepaid plans out there that will work with att and get 3g? I dont want to have to get a contract with them if i do have to give up on tmo.

Sent from Jt's Samsung Galaxy Tab!!

Edit: just read turckboattruck thread. Omit question about a prepaid att plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
Lol

I don't know if it's just because you guys generally do everything bigger in USA compared to over here in the UK, but why would you even want this to be the only phone you're carrying around? It's huge, and you have to use it on loudspeaker if you're not connecting the headset.

How is it that it wouldn't be a hindrance to you guys?
[Galaxy Tab General] dalethefarmer:
It's just the fact that U.S. carriers decided to not include the phone feature that is getting us to want to do it. if it came with phone half of these discussions wouldn't even exist(obviously).
[Galaxy Tab General] nopple123:
Change IMIE

Can we change IMIE on t-mobile tab to get what we want. I think we all know tmobile is blocking tab because the IMIE # is in their database.

I wanna stick to t-mobile bcoz I have 5.99 Tzones unlimited data plan. Im currently using iphone 3G.

I can use a TT Tab but then it works only on Edge. What Im looking for is a Nexus 1 like Tab which can be used for 5.99 tzones plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
It's IMEI and no, you can't.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Clear the US carriers seem to think that if they don't include voice, you'll be forced to have two contracts - one for the phone and one for the Tab. The irony is that most people wouldn't even attempt to use the Tab as a phone except in a few limited situations (note, I said most, not all! ;) ), so would've probably had two contracts anyway.

I find it very hard to believe that all 4 major US carriers came to this conclusion on their own, at the same time, which would lead me to believe there's a cartel here.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] paulrod:
I feel sorry for our American friends.

Here in the UK, We can get iPhone on any network at very competative prices and the Galaxy Tab Standalone for £469 unlocked and use any network we choose with it, including Phone, DATA, etc..

Where in the US the networks seem to take advantage of the monopoly they have and charge rediculously high prices for equipment and services.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
Sure looks that way doesn't it, not that I would buy an iPhone again. But in the case of the tab, I can't believe they actually locked down the phone capabilities.

[Droid X Android Development] zsg1313:
I doubt this question is going to get answered but I'll give it a go.

Bottom line is your launcher is an integral part of the UI. Live wallpaper running in the Appdrawer is **** with certain popular launchers. The new Tranq launcher on TBH 3.5 is smooth as butter. Literally, no comparison, smooth as butter... But the friggin call button doesnt play nice with rubix or fission. So on to my question.

TranQ launcher phone call icon on the home screen points to a "dialer" apk, whereas launcher2(Fission Stock) points to a "phone" apk. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to modify this so Tranq looks for the same "phone" as Launcher2

Even a mild push in the right direction would be appreciated

Thanks!
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
Different ROMs use different "Dialer" applications. Tranquility uses BlurPhone.apk (Dialer in app drawer) While most other ROMs use Phone.apk, an AOSP alternative (called Phone in app drawer)
[Droid X Android Development] zsg1313:
Appreciate the response, but I do understand they use two different dialing applications. I was hoping for some direction for where to look inside the Tranq laucher package to change it, and direct it towards the phone apk.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
I changed the mode to one of the non-standard ones, and immediately after, the HTC launcher app is in a perpetual startup-force close state. I think if I can adb into the phone and launch the MyModes app, I can change the Mode back to the standard mode.

I would need the full name in the form of "com.blah.blah" for use with the "am" command in adb shell.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Wow. Phew! It worked. I found the name using "pm list packages". Turns out it is com.tmobile.profilemanager

So, I used the command:

$ adb shell monkey -v -p com.tmobile.profilemanager 5

I then changed back to the standard mode, got a few more FCs, then it became stable. Rebooted, now very stable again.

I have a feeling that because I had disabled a few packages that could be dependences for the profilemanager, this may have happened.

Before the Epic came out, I looked at the Tmobile Galaxy S phone and was mortified at the bluish tint of its screen. A portion of a web page which was supposed to appear white would appear very very pale baby blue. It was definitely noticeable. If you are experiencing that on your Epic. . . . sorry.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkalos13:
now that theres fm radio, on the nexus on the new cm 6.1 and other roms would it be possible to have a fm transmitter? like the one where it plays your music thru the fm in the car or something. if this is possible that would be amazing.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkalos13:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
I really doubt the transmitter is hooked up, regardless of software it wont work. If it was a working transmitter the Desire would have probably had it with the FM application/kernel.

But we could sit here and speculate all we want, the fact is nobody knows for sure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
There's nothing that needs to be hooked up. The FM portion of the wifi/bluetooth/fm all use the same antenna for reception/broadcasting.

FM transmission on devices require alot more legal entanglements that companies don't want to deal with.

The chip onboard is an all in one, it's there, it just needs software.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
yeah, so you do realize that there's a lot of different frequencies for devices, right? Your "walkie talkies" were likely 38mhz or maybe 43mhz. Not a commercial frequency band.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Actually, the FM transmitters that popped up for the early iPods and several other MP3 players were originally illegal to use in many countries since they operated on frequencies that were considered protected or where you needed to register as a broadcaster to be allowed to transmit. This has however now been relaxed in several countries as long as the transmission strength is kept low enough to not interfere noticable with other people's devices.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ApnaDroid:
If you are also experiencing Wi-fi connectivity issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 here is the solution :

Problem :

​

Solution (Tested Personally) :

To get Wi-Fi fixed on your Samsung Galaxy I 9000 follow the instructions detailed below :

Make sure Wi-Fi is ON and Navigate to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings, now click the left-side context-menu button on your phone to bring-up Advanced option and click it.

​

Now to get things working we will need to make cellphone use a static IP address for Wi-Fi, check the Use Static IP option and proceed with entering values manually.

​

If you are not sure what values to use take a look at your network-adapter status on computer, here are my settings (should works on most default router setups).

​

Enter all values and your screen should now look like the one below.

​

Now go back to your Wi-Fi settings page and click your access-point name and it should show you the manually entered IP value.

​

Your Wi-Fi issues should be now over.

If you need help with manual values do ask here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ksh20480:
is tis te lan ip or wan ip?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ApnaDroid:
LAN IP you want to allot to your SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upp3rd0g:
I don't mean to be offensive but your recommendations make no sense at all...

You are saying: if you have wifi troubles switch from DHCP assigned ip-addresses to static ip-addresses, using the settings which are personal to _your_ setup at _your_ house.

If for some reason static-ip-address gives you a better connectivity I suggest you start investigating your DHCP configuration in your network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ApnaDroid:
No offense taken, but being a system administrator and software developer for 9 years I know what I am talking about. The "DHCP configuration" on my network/router is fine, it is working flawlessly for past few years with 8 computers on the LAN with multiple wi-fi devices connecting to it almost on daily basis - only SGS gets the Wi-Fi blues; it is the 'SGS DHCP' driver implementation which is having issues - without a static IP SGS connects and works for some time but have issues re-connecting automatically after a screen-off or long break. I personally had used my iPhone 3G on this setup for more then a yaear (and many other phones/devices occasionally) without a hiccup and problems were there on SGS from very first day until I used the STATIC IP.

Here are some forum/blog posts/user opinions confirming the SGS wifi issue and the static ip solution :

If you are having SGS Wi-fi issues, have you tried this solution ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rajesh26e4u:
Thanks for the tip. But I was wondering how the wifi would perform if you were at a wifi zone other than your house wifi with these settings. For example, university library or a coffee shop. Would the wifi connectivity get distorted due to these settings when we're using free wifi such as the above mentioned?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I haven't tried this but have the same concern about switching to other wifi networks. My data plan includes free wifi connection to the Cloud, BT Openzone and other wifi hotspots. I would be concerned at the effect of a static IP address on those.

I have only noticed an issue with wifi since upgrading to Froyo. Sometimes the phone dies not switch back from 3G or HDSPA when I return to a wifi zone. The workaround is to switch wifi off and back on again. I have an unlimited data plan so the only concern is speed but that does make it annoying.

Now connects but no Data Transfer

Hello ApnaDroid,

Thanks for your trick.. Now I can get "connected" but cannot have any data transfer.. when I connect to my wifi router (my modem and wifi router are seperate units) which is on 10.1.1.10, I dont see it connected and having data transfer. Strangely, when I see under WiFi routers wireless statistics, I cann see the MAC address of the Galaxy S showing this in front "STA-ASSOC".

That means, that I am getting connecetd to the wifi alright.... but no data transfer... MIND YOU, WITH NO CHANGES TO THE SAME WIFI, WHEN I FACTORY RESET, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.

Please guide. Is there any way to patch this in Froyo Build DDJP6.

Regards

PS ; Is there any way I can reset the Wifi to factory settings without Hard Formatting (Factory Formatting) my Galaxy S ???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] akshayadv:
This solved it..

After doig all the above, I again switched back and unchecked the "Static IP". Then voila... I tried this...i open allshare app which go to wifi settings and connect to the wifi then just close allshare and you have wifi

Went to allshare ad enables wifi... IT WORKS...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] idimintu:
As soon as I updated to Froyo I had the same issue with regards to wifi refusing to reconnect to my Netgear WNR2000 at home after a short while, it was fine with Eclair and worked fine with a Draytek 2600 at work after update.

My solution was to change the Netgear router to use WPA2 encryption and not mixed WPA/WPA2, have not had a problem since. I have not tried other methods yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spilurus:
Woah, the AllShare method really worked for me. I went out one day and tried to connect unsuccessfully to a hotspot. When I came back, the Wifi didn't work and was stuck at "Obtaining an IP address". Nothing else worked, but accessing the wifi settings through Allshare, gave it an external ip address, (169.152.647.201 or something or other) and from there, refreshed to obtain a local IP within the proper subnet.

Thanks akshayadv!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] VeenK:
Hi,

My Stock 2.1 did not have any wifi problems. Now updating to stock 2.2 it does. Found a little app on market, Wifi Fixer from Zanshin which did not do anything to improve. Uninstalled it again. Restarting my Bogpond Netgear cable modem router (CG814WGv3) did do the trick for about 2 minutes before dropping again. Another time the wifi stays on but no connection to internet. Which is not correct as other wifi phone does connect as well as my wifi laptop and this computer. Phone reboot will fix wifi for a little while. So I do think this is a Froyo 2.2 issue and dont want to change the router settings as it did work before without a problem. I dont want to go the static IP route for now.

I am wondering if it has anything to do with maybe my Aura gps program. Not so much because of the gps, but because the program wants a data connection at times. Similar with google maps I hear... I see some people suggesting this may create a conflict when only on wifi even though it initially works, something with re-associating the wifi. I am not that technical, so I leave it for your consideration...

???

I would like to find out more about the Allshare method. Could not find an app on market with this name,

what is it, where to find, and how to go about it?

Any other solutions or fixes? (I find so many posts/threads, which so little on possible fixes.)

Phone details in signature.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] akshayadv:
Dear VeenK,

All Samsung Galaxy S Froyo ROMs have an app called allshared which comes pre-installed. (Mine is DDJP6 with OCLF installed). I have been using this to connect to the internet. I havent changed any settings like Static IP or the like.. Its just factory settings which are left untouched in my phone.

Method : Just start your Allshare app and when it askes to connect to WiFi, click OK. When the WiFi is connected in allshared, simply close the app and you have the working WiFi. (downside is that the WiFi will have to be connected again using allshare after power off and power on)

Try the allshare app and let us know your feedback... (It has worked for me everythime.. A bit frustrating though that you have to do it off anf on. But its a workaround discovered by me almost by accident. much better than doing a factory reset everytime).

Regards

[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
I had to start the AllShare app only ONCE and never more, even after phone reboot.

I am currently using "Static IP" solution since I had v2.2 installed and it works everywhere (DHCP/public cafes(nobody must have the same IP number as the IP number I assigned for my phone), Static/home).

@ApnaDroid (OP):

Great tutorial with pics!

But for DNS1 and DNS2 I think you need to input "192.168.1.1" (router's IP number) in both fields, because "192.168.1.2" is the first device connected to your router.
