Big question? - Galaxy Tab General

So I have a T-mobile Tab and already have voice on my device but I cant connect to the internet through anything other than wifi even though I have and Android feature on my account.
T-mobile Tab
European firmware
Sim from mytouch 4G
Only shows Edge on my home screen

check for data network mode activated/deactivated
what baseband version you running?

The european firmware has removed the 3g bands. there was a file somewhere on this fourm to get it back

why dont you use the tmobile modem switcher roto made

If you search on the forum for "Modem switcher" by rotohammer it should give the fix you'll need. But you would need to figure out the APN setting for 3g access. I guess one can always call their data carrier, that being Tmobile in my case for that information. Anyone know the standard setting for that?

The modem switcher works but you still get the redirect to tmobile on the browser no matter what site you go to. Unless of course you put in a sim with a webconnect data plan. At that point no call capability even with rotos modem flasher. My hd2 sim allows calls with the edge modem but browser redirects to the same site. A funtion of the IMEI block?

Yes your IMEI is blocking the SIM, there is a work around that but XDA removed tge thread as it violated one of their rules. I am able to use my Vibrant SIM and i get voice+edge and go online with no re-direct and use Roto's Modem Switcher to use 3G.

Not a development related question.

I get the same redirect and i havent seen anything that will take me passed it but im not switching back to the webconnect sim card cause thats a rip off as far as im concerned so for no im going with the roto hammer setup to see what that leads to andto get on something everyone else seems to be using but i may end up just selling the Tab and buying one of the new devices that i saw at CES

Carrier specific apps

Hi, I am on at&t and they block a lot of apps from the market such as PDA net. You can take your sim out then connect to wifi and search and it will be there. Any kinda mod u can download to get around this cause I can't always get to wifi. Btw I'm using cyanogen 6

1. You shouldn't need PDA net since CM 6 comes with a usb tether/wifi hotspot.
2. That being said, it doesn't mean you don't want it. Also, I will PM you what you should do as I can't discuss that in the open.
Thanks that helps

Bell Users: i9000m - Issues with facebook app on (3g) data network

Hi I was wondering if anyone else on bell is having issues with the facebook app while using 3g. When ever I try using the facebook while on 3g and click on notifications in the app it gives me an error "Cannot retrieve notifications at this time please try again later. [Connection reset by peer]." but when I switch to wifi everything works again.
I was wondering if anyone else on bell mobility network is having the same issues. It does not seem to be a rom issue as I have tried several roms including the stock JL2 with same results.
Thanks
Getting it too.

Ya thats what I meant HSDPA or 3g. Well at least I'm glad its not an issue with my phone. Guess bell is blocking something. Any idea how we go about getting them to fix this issue?

I think we should all try to call and make them aware of the problem. Chances are they will just deny it but if enough people call to complain then they might look into it. I wonder if this is an isolated problem to the SGS or android platform I hope its not as that would only make things harder for us. If you know anyone on bell thats not on SGS can you see if they also have the problem.
I'm getting the same too, I thought it had to do with a new JS3 rom I'm using. Did you guys lose the push notifications as well?
Same problem here. Bell / JL2.
Sent from my GT-I9000M
Same problem! Bell/Darkys 9.1
Glad I'm not the only one seeing this...
It's the Facebook app that's busted. Loads of reports on their site. Need to wait for fix or dig up older apk.
Seems to be working for me now...

Mobile hotspots a no go.

I have been trying to get mobile hotspot to work on 1.83 to much disappointment. I have it rooted, I tried gladenabler, and I have even installed gingerblur as last rom it removed the verification altogether.
This time it is just not going away. I have also selected =false using root explorer for that one value that was listed in a previous post.
I am not on att I'm in another country with no tethering restrictions.
Any help would make me very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Can't edit from my phone but in an update to what I wrote earlier. Editing the build.prop file actually worked but required a reboot.
In retrospect I should have thought of that but it wasn't listed in the op.
So, if you are also getting this problem
Follow the directions on this post

Then REBOOT AFTER.

On your APN type just add tether after default. So your APN type looks like this APN type: default,tether

Wifi-Tether Android
Just use http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Once you rooted and enabled side-loading install Wifi-Tether android , that works for me
I actually have an employee plan so 40 for unlimited and tethering but if you add the apn u can also use barnicle wifi tether. U can't find it on the market (anymore/F-u too att) you'll have to Google but it is better than using my included option in network settings. I have also used the open one on code.Google.com and has been great. I love my atrix and webtop and lapdock but if I had a chance at getting it all on tmo or sprint, I'd jump ship. Making Google hide apps from it's own users? Wtf? If I were sprint I'd be praying att buys tmo because everyone would run to sprint. If I didn't have said plan, I'm not sure I could take the abuse they give their high paying customers.

I'm sorry, new to this, but what's wrong with using an app like 'barnacle wifi tether' to create a mobile hotspot?

You could also take the SIM out (or put the phone in airplane mode) and search via Wifi to find a tethering app on the market...

Sideload Barnacle or download PDANet
yea I use an unlocked AT&T atrix on Rogers and couldn't get the hot spot to work either. Just downloaded the android wifi tether from the market and it works fine. No need for the built in one.

Has anyone tried tethering with tmobiles new truely unlimited 4G data plan yet.

I was just curious how hard it would be to get around it. Thanks!!!

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

Tmobile APN

Hello community
Does anyone know how to modify the TMobile USA APN settings. I recently came from the HTC One S section where we had a mod to allow WiFi and USB tether without the plan. Anything similar to that for this device?

Did you try searching? there are methods that can be use but if you are using the N4 and a custom rom thats all you need. Remember this phone does not have any carrier branding.
It may even work stock but unfortunately my phone was not stock long enough to test that out... LOL
Edit: My friend connects to his wifi and using USB tether without a problem on his Note 2 and its not rooted so there is obviously a way

rooting it and custom rom will do nothing for you and getting caugth tethering, thats an untruth that gets spread around. tmobile sees your device on their network regardless, or you wouldnt be able to use tmobiles network. its just a matter of tmobile actively stopping you or ignoring you to a point. you can always try changing your browsers user agent, that helps sometimes, but they eventually catch on. to get to the apn settings, you dont need root. its in the main phone settings, more, mobile network, access point names..

Ok to clarify are we speaking about you turning on your wifi then connecting your phone to a pc and streaming over the internet that way? I know it sound crazy but my friends Internet card and wireless card in his pc do not work and this is how he connects his pc to internet.
Also I use ES File explorer on my Note 2 to tether and straight with my N4. I also use chrome if connected to a laptop. I may have just gotten lucky but i have not seen the T-Mobile page pop up on my since I got this phone. But thats just me

I am running SlimBean with AK kernel AK41. May I add that wifi notifications and all necessary phone options work flawlessly for me. Also battery life is quite good, I did update to SuperSu and it was draining my battery so I switched back to 1.41 :good:
