[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab after bypass - Galaxy Tab General

I am waiting on my Galaxy Tab to come in the mail but I have a question. After I bypass the activation screen, will I still get firmware and android updates? Since it wont be connected to a network.

Yes via kies

Ok, I was afraid I would get lost in the twilight zone. I read on another forum that Kies was more for the European version of the galaxy tab. I may activate it anyways and pay month by month when ever I was the 3g.

[Q] what is in the box?

I got ATT tab. When I purchased it, it came with nothing but the Tab, charger, and USB cable, SIM cutout card. I have read somewhere that there is also earphone in the box. Just wonder maybe all ATT tabs come without earbud, but other carriers' comes with it, or just mine without it.
Cant say whats in an AT&T package but you certainly get earphones with the UK unlocked tab.
The US T-Mobile version came with headset.

Sprints version has no headset.

buying a european tmobile galaxy tab

hi everyone, im buying a tmobile galaxy tab, the euro model, i want the phone and 3g to work..
i have a g2 right now and plan on using my tmobile sim[has data/voice]

I followed the above link to get my G1 T-Mobile SIM working on my tab.
As far as buying a euro-based tab to get 3g and phone usage, I don't think that will work. I will assume you are in the States. And from what I understand, it has to do with the technology in the infrastructure used in the States.
Buying a euro-based tab will do the same as buying a us-based tab and flashing a euro-based rom (if you are in the States). Your phone will only work over 2g. It really isn't a big deal, just grab Roto's modem switcher.
Euro tmob <> US tmob. U wont get us tmob 3g

thank you. is this something that can be a possibility in the future[voice,3g,euro tab]?? i will install the modem switcher when im done putting this new rom on.. edge is pretty horrible but the phone calling is cool..
also if i have the modem switched to 3g on, will people be able to still call me ??
Anything is possible with open-source. Besides, look at how much has been accomplished in the short amount of time since the tabs release. I am just happy with the nice roms developed so far and the fact we can talk. Give it some time.
When you are on 3g, the phone functionality is basically dead. With that being said, Roto's modemswitcher is a nice little script.
Euro Tab can not be used with Tmobile 3G network....even with 3G only....it will only does 2G+Voice
I have one, and I am regret having it......no way to turn on the band frequencies of 1700 and 2100 together....for a moment I thought I was successfully did 1700 and 2100.....but no, I did not......when I went into detail of the modem, it said (900 mhz band) not 1700...
You can never get 1700 on any Samsung Tab beside the Tmobile one. I think I am switching to ATT real soon
3g works great for me thu..im even getting h also..just got to flash to overcomes kernel and rom den use roto..my tab is def international my charger is weird as hell lol(euro plug)

After Everything I have tried. I believe that your Tab is a Tmobile Tab.....If it is, It will say Tmobile in the front and the back of the Tab....also the model is
SGH T849
The European one is the Model of GT-P1000....and there is no Mark of Tmobile or any Carriers in it....You must have been mistaken.....Even Rotohammer Confirmed that the European Is not Capable of Tmobile 3G....or Please send me your pictures ?
For your confirmation on Rotohammer saying that ...here

Your device saying GT-P1000 is because u installed the Rom of GT-P1000 to enable 2G+voice. Tmobile on the back is the evidence of the Tab being from Tmobile
Samsung made it Exclusively for Tmobile with a special Tmobile Radio Amplifier.......The international version is what I have now......it Can not be on Tmobile 3G network

Unlocked international edge Samsung Pay unable to add cards

I purchased a new unlocked international S7 edge and it works well - but was missing Samsung Pay. I loaded both the latest framework and app using APK mirror.com site. The app runs and I can after some coaxing get to the part to manually load a card - but then it consistently says samsung pay failed to connect to server - try again later.
It never is able to connect - and from some reading it says this could be due to encryption of the internal memory. There is no option to decrypt the internal memory (if it is).
Is there some way to force the decryption or even to verify it is encrypted? I purchased the phone with Samsung Pay as one of things I really wanted to play around with and am at a loss .

You'd have to run a firmware where pay is available. So far, we can't run any of the US firmwares because exynos vs snapdragon. All we can do is wait until it releases in the UK or Canada and then flash the respective country's firmware

Thanks. This is the first thing I've read which makes sense to me. Let's hope they update the firmware soon - would love to try it. If you know of any rumors on timing, would love to hear it!

samsung pay is "available" in Brazil but i cannot make it work.
They said it wont be able to use the S6 family, only s7 because they have a new technology that's mostly used here, buttt i wanted to try and see if i could use my phone (almost all machines accept nfs payments).
this was the first thing that made sense, but could it be because of that that i cannot connect my s6 edge? (just updated the app and framework)
Samsung Pay works the UAE firmware.

At&amp;t Safe Note 7 not updating on cricket?

From what I've always understood it shouldn't matter what sim you have in for updates. I have an at&t purchases note 7 with a cricket sim and I can't for the life of me get the new battery icon update. I just bought the phone from best buy Friday and it's got the black square on the box and I checked imei on Sammys sight and this phone is the good battery version. Not too concerned other than if like to be able to receive updates in the future without having to always look around online and manually flash the files. I guess I could use kies?
Edit: Samsung kies3 shows note 7 is not a supported device. So I'm really not sure how to update this phone now without Odin firmware package

well, you always understood is WRONG !
you need a ACTIVE (working) att sim for the update. i also on cricket, i cant get update on any att phones.
i'm thinking of switching to GoPhone, but you have to pay taxes. so it' not worth it.

You need an activated and working ATT sim in the phone in order to get the OTA updates. If you had a cricket version phone, then youd need an active and working cricket SIM. Same thing goes for Tmobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc.
Kies no longer supports Note 7. You need the Smart Switch PC program. Kies even tells you this immediately after telling you that your phone isn't supported.

Mine is a little different. I'm on AT&T and my phone hasn't updated. I've checked to see if there is one available and the phone says I'm up to date.

Att s7 non Edgemont tmobile and no android 7 or.wofi calling.

How can I update my att galaxy s7 that is on tmobile to nugat.. I am told no update available. I do not want to root as I have to have Corp email that uses Microsoft in tune company portal and I use some health and Android pay and samsung pay. Can I also switch to a tmobile rom... or can I update to att android 7
