Hi, just seeking some advice.
I currently own the Samsung galaxy tab 7" p1010 Wifi only,which is think is brilliant. however i have brought vaious accessories such as a bluetooth keyboard and the offical Samsung video out cable that are said to work with the galaxy tab, but after trying they donot work with the wifi only verson.
I live in the UK but will soon being going to america on holiday, im considering buying as 3G verson while i am out there as it should be considerably cheaper.
Can anyone confirm either of the the following issues i may encounter?
will it work in the UK with a UK sim if i buy it in america?
will the accessories i have already pucheased actually work on the 3G verson?
what is the Latest Offical firmware for the 3G verson?
(I do not wish to Root my device just incase anything goes wrong)
Any help would be greatly appericated.

Hi all.
Im really familiar with Galaxy phones, and have flashed mine countless times.
Ive got the opportunity to buy a Galaxy Tab outright from telstra here in australia, for $299.00.
The unit is apparently locked to their network.
I have a plan with Optus for my Galaxy phone, and was hoping to use the Optus sim in the Tab.
Will flashing it unlock it so this can be done?
Dont wanna go and get a new plan just to use it if possible.
EDIT : After some googling, im pretty sure that the UnlockCode app, designed for the Galaxy S, will probably also work with the Galaxy Tab.
I discovered there are multiple models of the Galaxy Tab 7", and I want the best one for rooting/romming/modding etc. Basically I need to root it, allow it to connect to an ad-hoc network, take out some unnecessary features like Samsung's pre-installed software that I can't uninstall, and make the most out of the tab because I plan on keeping it several years.
I currently have the GT-P1000, but I live in America and it's not the most convenient version with the European power supply and constant request by the tablet to put in a SIM card. I want to get the Verizon version but I've seen various things on how well it's been hacked. If I were to get an American version, which one would be the best for modding?
Definately get the ATT version. Its basically like the European tab with some branding. Most of the firmwares and kernels are made for GSM tabs and work perfectly with this tab. Its super easy to root and upgrade the firmware to gingerbread. I know from experience (its the tab that I have)

Greetings,
I am in the market for a tablet and I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9. AT&T in the US is offering a deal where if you buy and activate an AT&T locked 8.9 Galaxy Tab you get a free Samsung Galaxy S2 or S2 Skyrocket.
Here are my questions:
1. What are the benefits or drawbacks from buying the AT&T branded and locked Galaxy Tab 8.9 versus the unlocked Galaxy Tab as shown here on Expansys: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...16gb-android-tablet-black-850-1900-3g-223265/
2. Is the AT&T Galaxy Tab easy to unlock and use sim cards from other countries when traveling abroad?
3. Are there any other differences hardware wise between the AT&T Galaxy Tab and the one in the link above? I cannot find any and have checked multiple sites for information.
4. Would it be possible to flash the rom of the unlocked Galaxy tab to the AT&T Tab?
Any help or opinions greatly appreciated!
I will try to answer you the best I can.
1. AT&T version is faster and newer from my knowledge, but with far less developmental support. ATT supports 4g and LTE while the old tabs only do 3g and wifi. The older generation tablets have good developmental support with an ICS port in development. No custom ROMS at the moment for the ATT version.
2. No experience here, sorry.
3. The old tabs have tegra2 chips, while the ATT version uses qualcomm (snapdragon) chipsets. ATT is 1.5ghz while the 3g one is 1ghz. Both dual core. ATT battery capacity is ever so slightly larger as well. ATT version is 2 grams heavier (lol). The ATT one is considered snappier and more responsive from what i hear, but if the 3g one receives ICS then they could be comparable. The ROMS and Kernels from the older tabs are not compatable with the ATT LTE one. The closest thing to the ATT tablet is the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
4. ATT Tab is only rooted at the moment through a custom kernel. No CWM or ROMS yet.
Hope this helps, and if I am wrong anywhere someone correct me. Thanks.
Thanks for your help that was very informative! I am still curious about the unlock on the AT&T version though because I travel a lot. Anyone else have any ideas about unlocking the AT&T Tab? I did several searches but could not find specific information for the AT&T version. Thanks.

2. It's unlockable online.

Has the question about unlocking solved? I was looking at the tablet too and wanted to find a way to unlock it? Is there a way to do it after rooting it? I don't want to buy it from one of those unlock website.
Hey everyone,
Basically, i live in Canada and i am with Rogers, one of the big three wireless networks down here. I ended up buying a note 8 from Samsung USA directly since i got a really good offer, saved about 60% off the note 8 compared to price in Canada.
My problem now is that i can longer use VOLTE, WI-FI calling or even caller ID & spam protection (greyed out).
Is there anything that i could do to enable this settings? I am not sure if i can flash the N950W firmware on my phone, haven't really flashed anything on a samsung since my note 5.
Can someone please help me out with this?
Hello everyone,
Could you help me answering my questions?
I'm planning to buy Samsung S21 Ultra, so I was searching for good prices here and there...
I found out that on Samsung US, it is much cheaper (Unlocked version), moreover, you'll get 250$ credit value to buy other accessories, while Samsung Canada is way too expensive without such promotions!
I tried to place the order through Samsung US and to type the shipping address to Canada .m.but unfortunately it wasn't working!
My two questions as following:
1- Is there anyway to get the S21 Ultra to Canada from Samsung US?
2- I heard that I might face problems in connection compatibility (even with the unlocked version), especially the 5G as it won't be compatible with the Canadian courriers ....so is that true? Will I face any problem if I buy S21 Ultra from Samsung US to Canada?
Will appreciate your replies ...
Thanks
Depending on your carrier in Canada, Wifi Calling and VoLTE may not/will not work. Here is a long thread about purchasing from the US etc. This will answer all your questions:

i have the W version with the US U1 software on it (I love ODIN) and works it great on Telus for 5G (except the Wi-Fi calling; Telus asks for your number and then it never connects but I also have a partner account so maybe that is why). On Freedom Mobile/Shaw Mobile with the U1 software, everything works (except 5G as that is not available for everyone yet).
Thanks
May I know which re-shipping company had you dealt with? Any recommendations?
