If this is true, then T-Mobile is going to have plenty of pissed off current Tab owners. I can understand a new device in 6 months, but if this is true, then shame on T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
While I am in no way saying you guys are wrong this all flies in the face of logic.

Why would they go through the effort of removing the calling function just to add it back later? I can't think of any logical reason they would do that. For what purpose? They clearly put quite a bit of effort into disabling the calling function on this ROM. I still haven't gotten everything re-enabled.

Why would they go through the extra effort of even filtering voice SIM cards on this specific device? Why would they take the extra step of blocking people who re-enable their dialer and try to use it for phones calls by also blocking their SIM?

I don't know anything that you guys don't but I think it is highly unlikely T-Mobile is ever going to let people use it as a phone. Their marketing suggests they want it to compete with the iPad and just like Apple fought hard to keep people from thinking of the iPad as just a big iPhone T-Mobile is also trying to keep people from thinking of the TAB as just a big Galaxy S. Hence the reason they neutered the calling functions. They don't want anyone thinking of it as anything but a Tablet. Same reason Apple didn't include calling functions on the iPad even though it is more or less the same hardware.

Also they don't want these tablet sales to cannibalize the existing market they have for cell phones. They want people to buy both that way they make more money. Same thing Apple is doing.

I think you guys are getting your hopes up for nothing but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We have already proven that unlike the iPad the TAB does have the hardware for making calls. So it is really only a matter of time till we get everything working but we are going to have to do it ourselves. T-Mobile doesn't share our interests...
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
I mean they even went so far as to remove all dialer support from the kernel. That wasn't a trivial task and they didn't just do that to temporarily stop people. They intended to permanently stop people. Same reason they compiled the radio without any voice calling support whatsoever. They put a lot of work into killing the calling functions...

Im just sayin.
[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
@jnutz

I believe there is always a bad decision and sometimes a company tries to "fix" it. If it is true that T-Mobile will re-enable calling function, I believe this is a reason.

Also about the comparison to iPad - only problem is that iPad cannot make a call worldwide but GT has a phone call capability everywhere but US. We would probably have complained a way~~~ less if the rest of the world did not have a phone capability. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
That is because Apple didn't include the hardware on any models of the iPad. However with the TAB Samsung did include the hardware for calling because they have the common sense to see that it is a great value add. They probably decided it was just cheaper to make one model and then have the carriers enable whatever features they want to allow. Which makes sense from their point of view.

T-Mobile on the other hand being afraid the TAB would just be seen as a big smart phone in which case it is nothing new decided that was a bad thing. They want people to look at the TAB in the same way people look at the iPad. Not as a big smart phone but rather a completely new device that is something altogether different. The mere fact that they market it as a tablet and not a smart phone tells you that. It is just my opinion I guess but if you think about it logic fits. Apple choose not to include calling support on the iPad for a reason. They didn't want people to see it for what it really is which is a big iPhone.

Carriers outside the US had no problem with it making calls but carriers in the US all decided for some reason just like Apple that was a bad thing. I gave you my theory as to why which could be wrong but whatever their reason the decision was obviously made at the highest level and a decision like that is not made lightly. Whatever their reason for not allowing calls I am doubtful they would just do an about face. Sales of the device are good so I wouldn't know what their motivation for adding calling would be. Especially after they paid their devs to hack it all out and their engineers to block it on the network. Now they are going to pay them to put it all back?

What is your theory as to why they would want to put it back? I guess one angle would be so they can sell a second voice plan but that is pretty weak and that is about the only reason I can think of. Since this is all just speculation anyway I would love to hears some alternate theories.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
The only reason I think it is possible that TmoUS may enable phone calling is because they see how many people are returning them and going to AT&T instead...

They are probably pissed that AT&T didn't prevent the phone calling entirely, per whatever agreement, and now want to keep their customers...

I think that makes sense. But unfortunately there are too many uncertainties.... so I'll be returning my Tmo Tab and waiting to see what happens.

It's a nice device... but not worth $600 to only have tablet capabilities imo. The Archos 70 internet tablet is $279 for 8GB and a lower resolution screen, but very similar... if I wanted just a tablet, that's probably what I would buy.
[Galaxy Tab General] sitelite_1:
CHURN would be one reason.

I do understand where the argument is coming from about phone capability vs not having it. apple was smarter than the carriers, in the fact that the ipad DOES NOT have voice capabilities. the carriers neutered the tab, and there you have it. tmo probably didnt expect the tab to be cracked so quickly, hence tmo's version is still not cracked. but since the at&t version was cracked with ease, tmo had to rethink...churn is a thorn in ALL companies. its a lot cheaper to retain customers than to gain new ones.

In all, its just speculation about whether or not tmo will be implementing voice on the tab. as we all know, 98% of the phone reps arent too knowledgeable, and pretty deadly with information when taken out of context.
[Galaxy Tab General] raqball:
I am actually shocked that at least one of the US carriers did not opt for phone function to begin with....

They could have loudly proclaimed they are the only carrier to support this and anyone wanting phone on the Tab would have flocked to that specific carrier, me included....
[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
My theory is that they for some reason realized that it was a bad decision (for example, they see potential buyers are turning away because of lack of phone capability, losing customers to att (not just tab but other smartphones as the ripple effect), bad PR, etc). Yes, there is a cost associating with it, but if tmo thinks it is well worth it, they will pull the trigger.

1. You shouldn't need PDA net since CM 6 comes with a usb tether/wifi hotspot.

they're all in there.. just do the pda (I believe that's the option in odin)... it'll lay down the individual pieces.

So after running this rom for most of the day and having fairly good luck with it. I decided to do a couple things.

I installed Quadrant and did some baselining:

So nice little improvement over stock, right?

I then installed z4root.

I installed SetCPU and set it conservative.

I installed z4mod, applied the kernel patch, and converted filesystem:

My phone currently is XXJPC, kernel version 2.6.32.9, build number 1.2_hiapk. It was Android 2.1 when I bought it. I bugged the seller for weeks to update the phone, but I don't think he knew what he was doing (or didn't care anyway)

I'm in China. I need to be able to read and write Chinese on my phone, but having Chinese UI is not necessary. Currently my phone seems to have 2 minor bugs: the alarm force-closes after going off; It seems when plugging into power cable, it freezes. And sometimes it freaks out.

So the question is... should I upgrade with this ROM?

Secondary question: Will Heidnell work for this or should I use odin?

How do I root this? I only rooted before using the update.zip method. its important that I root it becuase without market enabler, I can't get paid apps.

Also, which lag fix is best to use with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hacksome:
Just flash the SpeedMod Kernel http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=458423&d=1291746402. Then get in to the recovery menu. There is an option there to install ROOT. You can as well try a Lagfix to improve the performance using SpeedMod.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ogami_ito:
OK. But does that not sort of change the whole point of having a new ROM, then installing what could be an older kernal? Sorry... as I said I'm only been recently devirginized.

Anyway... did it with z4root. Awesome. Maybe I should do the SpeedMod Kernel though, as you say... I'm no longer a virgin so I should go all out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] c010:
Yes, just go to recovery mode, the lag fix and tweaks setting are inside. You wont regret applying the lagfix. Latest version is K10I. There are 2 methods to flash, via Odin or CWM. If you dont have CWM installed, you have to flash the K10I kernel via Odin.

What negative rep about the Epic community? A few little bad trolls whining while waiting for their Froyo handouts, don't make the community. Of course there will always be lazy folk who can't read through clear guides, stickies or bother to read back 2 or 3 posts, but I've mostly seen a friendly if slightly strained group.

We've had one very early report of an OTA upgrade, and you can just feel everyones gears start rolling.

Devs stepped up and let us slackers have epically fast upgrade guides, DK28 update.zip through ODin, a prerooted Rom, DK28 and I count at least 3 modded Roms already! This is all in less than a day. I'm sure there is much more already coming. Once Samsung releases their code (hopefully won't take forever), the Epic community will be steamrolling. Until Gingerbread :eek:

I called T-Mobile and they confirmed that my plan (Android unlimited text + web) is 4G where available, but I'm not sure I believe it. They said I was grandfathered in because I've been with them for 6+ years, but it makes more sense that they would choke off "unlimited" users to force them to pay the extra $30 for the 4G unlimited plan.
