Hell, I even my wireless hotspot, "Mobile AP" in Galaxy speak, works fine. I work for an At&t retailer, and Im rocking a TMO tab lol...wish I could have both 3g data and voice :/..... Where do I start?

Have you checked your Apn settings? I just got my calling to work on at&t finally, and my sms and data are working great..only on edge data though until I score an at&t tab someday. I merely needed modem file that I found here on xda...ill find the link. (and also thank the appropriate user)

Yup got it worked but same only on edge trying to make roto's modem switcher to make it work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

At&t and t-mobile don't share the same hardware so they don't get 3g on the others network.

any available modem/radio file for AWS network??

HI guys!!!!!!!1
i have a T-mobile galaxy tab unlocked, rooted, and flashed to EURO firmware with stock t-mobile modem. I have set the APN correctly.
PAD: P1000XXJK5
PHONE: T849UVJJB
CSC: P1000OXAJK5
my current provider is Mobilicity which uses AWS(1700/2100) network. I should be able to use phone call, 3G internet and text since both t-mobile and mobilicity are using same network. but i am only able use 3G internet, and text message meaning that phone call doesn't work at all. the two features are working perfectly though.
If i try to make call, the phone/dial app just close itself. nothing happens~ i can't receive the call either
so i am looking for a modem/radio file that is compatible with mobilicity and WIND mobile~
help me out guys
Not possible with the t-mobile tab.
No but this makes it a certainty that the problem is within the modem. It isn't anything that TMO is doing server side.
help me
any one else has an idea?? thank for replies though
no, you don't get it man. NOBOdY is able to use 3g and phone with a tmo tab in the states. there are threads and threads devoted to this. there is even a bounty thread where someone will get paid over $600 for figuring this out so unfortunatey this is not a "any other ideas?" type situation.
edit :: I forgot about our beloved bulldeeberman or whatev the **** his name was. he claimed to have the secret but pretty sure he was full of ****e the whole time.

i heard that you can switch between 3G and phone but i think the phone is only for GSM voice netword which is NOT supported by tmo tab. Can you switch b/w AWS 3G and AWS phone? Where is the files then?
no switching between aws data and aws phone. its only aws data or gsm phone/data.

Sir, did you read any of the threads in the forums? Or any of the previous posts?
You really need to take an hour of reading and study to get up to speed here. No offense intended - just giving you advise. Come back here when you did that and I will work with you to get voice or data and the switch setup. See you later!

i know what you mean. i did as much as i could. but there are thousand of posts regarding this issue. i read many of them but it is just confusing me much more. i just wanted to make sure.
Ok, you have a t-mobile tab. You have the stock t-mobile tab modem, which cannot make phone calls, only internet, email, and text.
Do you get a redirect to a t-mobile website?
Do you want to make voice calls from your tab?
Did you do the unlock and rom flashing?

first i rooted
i flashed to euro rom.
i use stock tmo modem
i tried to make call but the phone app just closes itself once i press 'call'.
text works perfectly
3g data works perfectly
only issue is the phone.
i need a modem that supports both AWS 3G and AWS voice but it doesn't exist according to others.
so should i give up?
You can have both with the Roto modem switcher. He includes a voice+2g modern and a 3g modem, ands instructions to set up a switch. It's in the general section. That'd my set up for t-mobile too.

Hey Ranger
I have the redirect problem. I just bought a Tab last week with the eurorom already installed. I just want to clear it out I have no use for the phone dialer. How can I get the original ROM back on so I can get the data to work?

To get the stock rom, look back a ways in the development threads, for the stock t-mobile rom, and all the steps to install it. You will have to use odin3 and a pc to do the process. Rotohammer is the developer, and I've had to do that before.
When you are back to stock, PM me for the redirect solution. You don't have to go back to stock to avoid the redirect!

I also have a T-Mobile tab, unlocked with overcome 2.0.0 and using it with mobilicity.
I had txt and data working and no phone capability,
after installing the roto modem, nothing works...
How do I reinstall the T-Mobile modem?
Is there no way to have it all?!
Im also in the same situation with the 2 fellow mobilicity user and its been a month now, still looking for answers.
I guess the 2 gave up already and just sold their tmobile galaxy tabs

You can have both, but you need to switch between both using an app. Have you seen the rotohammer modem switcher thread?
US Tmobile Galaxy Tab on Wind mobile (Canada)
What I have:
* a T mobile Galaxy Tab from USA (SGH-T849)
* a SIM card for Wind mobile in Canada (phone and data plan) - AWS 1700/2100
What I've done:
* Rooted with Superoneclick
* Flashed Euro with Odin: P1_20100909.pit + JHA.tar, Roto-JMA.tar
* Unlocked carrier
At this point:
* Can't phone, text, or use internet
* Search only finds Wind Away but cannot connect to it ("Sim card doesn't allow a connection to this network"). Phone call ends as soon as you hit send ("Cannot connect to network").
* Randomly it will have an R over the signal bar strength and tab will attempt the call, but eventually times out without ringing. R is pretty flaky
** Only once! I was able to dial out and have the other phone ring. Called back right away from other phone and Tab rang.
Installed Gscript Lite to use Tmobile modem switch:
* "switch to phone/2G"
- Can't phone, text, or use internet (much like above)
- baseband T959TLJL3_ROTO-2G
* "switch to 3G only"
- Text and internet works (phone doesn't work) as expected
- baseband T849UVJJB_ROTO-3G
I would like to know:
1a) Is it even possible to get the phone working on Wind mobile? It is more important to me to get the phone working than the internet (of course, its always the one you can't get )
1b) I assumed that since it uses the same AWS as Tmobile, that I should get the Tmobile Galaxy Tab. Is there another version of the Galaxy Tab that I should have gotten that would work (better)?
2) Is there a better modem to be using for the 2G part of Rotohammer's switch? If so, which one, and is it on the stickied modem list? (If not then please provide a link to download)
3) If it is not a modem issue, is there a better method altogether to get the phone working on Wind mobile? If so, how would I go about doing so?
Any input, links, downloads, and ideas would be great.

[Q] Network problems with I9000 bought in Singapore, using in Canada

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

You can always try flashing a different MODEM (Radio) .. And you might as well upgrade to a 2.2.1 firmware, if not GB.
hmm.. do you know where I can learn how to flash my phone to a different (and more appropriate!) modem? also where to find an update to the firmware?

Just search in these forums. It's all there. You can easily flash a new radio package using ODIN. Better yet, try one of the custom ROMs from the I9000 Android Development section.

[Q] currnetly have a FROYO tab with phone enabled in the US, should I upgrade?

Hi all...
first off.. .the search is not working on the site so I was unable to search for this information.
I have a froyo galaxy tab with all the phone features enabled (edge data only though). I am in the U.S. and using a t-mobile tab on the Atnt network. All this works GREAT currently (though would love to have 3g and phone at the same time).
My question is can I upgrade to gingerbread or honeycomb (when it is released and no longer alpha) or will doing so remove my phone features?
Is there a modem firmware that allows 3g and phone at the same time yet?
no...not for Tmo tab on ATT especially....even Tmo tab on Tmo network you can't get voice and 3G at same time...only voice+2g or 3g only with modem switcher...we att tabs can get 3g and voice simultaneously tho...please search galaxy tab development section under Modems please
thanks DPAIK
I have modem switcher, but don't use it too much I just leave it on 2g+phone which works reliably... which is most important.
Anyone have an answer about potentially upgrading to gingerbread or Honeycomb with a tab that is in the U.S. and has the phone enabled?

I have an ATT tab on gingerbread and can confirm that voice and data work fine on the overcome ROM. It should be the same for the T-Mobile tab since they are both GSM based, however you still won't be able to get 3G service.
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA Premium App
When you upgrade to gb the modem switcher will still work.
been on Overcome since the beginning...and it rocks...follow instructions on their thread to get it up and running...you need to flash the Stock European Gingerbread ROM first put you can download everything you need on the Overcome site...good luck

[Q]Samsung Galaxy tab on windmobile network

I bought a unlocked Samsung Galaxy tab t-mobile version running overcome kratos,
it has the call icon but when you try to make a call, the call cancels out. the 3g data works great just no call function I think I need to add a modem but not sure which one & how. I was looking at the Galaxy Tab modem list forum
would a T mobile Stock Modem work for me or something else
(the guy I bought it off said the phone works but its clearly not set up fully yet)
model: p1000
Firmware 2.3.3
base: t849uvjjb
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 overcome v3.3.1 #101
Using overcome v 3.1.0-kratos
Canada Wind-mobile (same as tmobile 3g 1700/2100 ban but they have no EDGE 3g only)
any help would greatly be appreciated thanks in advance
I also have a SGT7 on Wind. I have done some reading and the problem is that the TMobile radio does not support both 3G Data and voice as the Tmobile tab was not designed to act as a phone. People have flashed a different modem (euro or asian I believe) but you will loose 3G (Wind Home) and will be constantly roaming on Wind Away (incurring charges). I have also read that people have had limited sucess flashing a Galaxy Vibrant modem (I believe they use the same modem hardware) but there are so many different users on various networks that finding someone who got this to work on an AWS network is a difficult task.
I was considering giving this a try myself but havent taken the plunge yet. I was also on the Kratos 4.0 rom but found that my Tab was restarting itself when playing any graphics intensive game. I have switched to the Russian stock rom and have found that the Tab is quick and gets solid battery life.
By the way, I activated my tab on the Super Smart $29 plan and have been having great sucess with this combo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks phone swapper I was starting to thinks no one cares about the newbies here
I was thinking of using a modem switcher but that still would not solve the 3g calling looks like we may have to use a mobile voip to get by til the code is cracked, if I find something I will let you know.

[Q] Getting Unlock to work on Tmobile P1000 Galaxy Tab

Okay, here goes! First post here, and hopefully a useful one for others.
The prerequisite info:
T-mobile Galaxy Tab flashed to GT-P1000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband version T959TLJL3_ROTO-2G / w/ switch: T849UVJJB_ROTO3G
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XXJME
I purchased this Gtab stock, and went through Rotohammers tutorial for using the tablet as a phone while still retaining 3g capabilities of a data plan. I think I got all of that working correctly but can't verify it as I don't have a T-mobile sim card with data. (verified voice calling does work on the Tab on T-mobile)
I have since then installed Sipdroid and Google Voice with a PBXes trunk so that I can make free wifi calls using Google Voice to/from anywhere with wifi, or on 3g. All that is working great. ....BUT....
I thought the Gtab was unlocked with Roto's firmware, but I found out it wasn't when I inserted my AT&T based sim card (Actually "Consumer Cellular") It was saying "enter network lock control key" on startup with that sim installed.
I found an unlocking app in the market called Galaxy_S Unlock and went through the steps to unlock the Gtab for my AT&T card and it will not make or receive calls. In the settings it shows my phone number for the sim card, and has the IMEI # and such, but no worky. I'm wondering if there is a conflict in the settings of the device with Google Voice and/or SipDroid? All of those use the dialer app that the Euro firmware has on it... I can make Wifi calls with the dialer, but when I disconnect the wifi it doesn't connect the call. It all closes down as if the call ended. Any help on this, or do I NEED to remove the Sipdroid app or could there be some APN issues? BTW data doesn't work either on the sim card in either 2g or 3g modems that I used from Roto. I know I will probably have to use a different AT&T modem for the 3g, but the 2g one should work, right?
Update: Okay, got 2g data to work after going in and changing the APN settings for Consumer Cellular (AT&T). It still closes the dialer app when I try to make a voice call with the wifi disconnected. On the 3g modem it only gets Edge network just like the 2G setting. I'm going to try uninstalling Google Voice and see what happens.
Hooray, problem fixed... at leat partially!
Okay, uninstalling Google Voice fixed the problem. Now I need to figure out how to keep my free Wifi calling capabilities while still having Google Voice installed. Any ideas?
Problem solved!
Okay, got EVERYTHING working now with the exception of the correct modem for 3g on AT&T. I went back through and re checked my data settings, reinstalled google voice and now everything works as it should. When wifi is available my calls use wifi and when there isn't wifi it uses my sim cards cellular service. I just need the 3g modem for AT&T and I'll be set. I had to set up Google Voice so that it would prompt me to either use or not use GV to make the call and now everything is perfect. Free wifi calls on my Gtab and now a back up phone if my current one craps out. Yay!
great to hear that.
Now you might want to read the success story here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258782&highlight=850mhz
But you have a T-Mobile tab there. Not sure if flashing AT&T modem works for it.
Let us know if you are successful.
You won't get 3g. If you use JK3 modem on t-mobile tab you will get good voice, EDGE data. You won't need the modem switch.
