Galaxy tab calling? - Galaxy Tab General

I just got a used t-mobile galaxy tab and I put my sim card from my t-mobile phone in and it worked for a little bit but started to take me to my.tmobile.com.
I went to a tmobile dealer and they said that it should haved worked just fine.
The girl behind the counter even pulled out a new galaxy tab and place her personal sim card in and it was working and she was sending txt with it and as she was showing me the tab she was using started to ring... I looked at it and asked her if she could look at mine and she was puzzled by the way mine was blocked and had no phone dialer. She didnt let me look at the new one she had or else I would have tried to get as much info about it and post it here.

What country are you in? European tabs have the phone feature stock. U.S tabs do not.

Then no tab your dealer had made a phone call. They do not come to the united states with voice capabilities, and I guarantee they didn't mod the store tab.

I just called the store and a guy ansered and told me that he could not give me any information about the one he sells not even the model number for it and that his store has speial tabs on sale that nobody else has... Must be imported.

Or, more likely it was an employees personal Tab, running a Euro Rom.

Yeah come to think about it... It did stay on EDGE and she said my tab was messed up for saying 3G.

That's the new Plus.
Does anyone know if this tmobile 7" plus is going to able to make phone calls from the start? I've been looking for this answer for a while, but couldn't find anything on it... But it does seem like the tmobile version is not going to allow it from the get-go, as there is no mentioning of this capability anywhere...
Someone more knowledgeable chime please!
well since the one I'm on now took the geniouses here at xda to make calls I'm gona go out on a limb and say no calls.

It has the capability and I haven't read anything to suggest T-Mobile will Bogart this from happening. I have the wifi 16 GB version and it's great, but it does have the looking of a phone with an ear piece that I haven't found any function for yet aside from the assumed ability of the T-Mobile version to call out. Great, great device from the original 7 Plus!

Im willing to bet phone is disabled. If not I will leave streak 7 for this. Or wait until xda gets it working. Ive asked tmobile and samsung, both are avoiding the question, samsung says: we can not speculate..
judging from the tmobile ad photo, there is no phone icon on home screen, where as samsung photos have it.
I guess we could always buy one from Europe where it will likely have voice calls...
have to wait and see..

Stolen Phone help

I just got done rooting my phone and installing ICS nearly one week ago Samsung Fascinate, yesterday someone decided to steal it.
Already changed pass words but still a lot of stuff i need on that phone with no way of getting it.
Now looking at a new phone which Samsung would you guys recommend as i plan to root it and install ICS on the new one as i liked it a lot.
Thanks
Bummer bro. Sorry to hear that. I wonder if your provider could help you. Is there a replacement you can use until the sgs3 comes out this summer?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
Nope, been left without a phone for last few days it sucks.
Looking at getting another Samsung something i can run ICS on again as i like that ROM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Get a Galaxy Nexus! If you can affor to jump carriers get a Galaxy Note. I can highly recommend both phones.

Found a decent deal on a Samsung Fascinate 4G its already rooted would i be able to set this back to stock if i had to send it in for warranty as warranty is still valid until Aug.

There isn't a Samsung Fascinate 4G for Verizon. That's probably the TELUS version. Which carrier are you using?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
Im with Telus.
Also thinking about getting a Samsung S2X but hoping it can be rooted and similar rom installed like the ICS as everything worked with that.
for future reference check out prey, lookout, findmydroid, etc. these are all apps that can track your phone if it gets stolen, you just send the phone a key word in a text message or something and it will enable gps and give you coordinates and stuffs.

THANKS wish i would of known about that before this happen.
Get plan b in market. Its lookout but if u forgot to have it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
yeah that is one course of action, if you hadn't changed your google password then you could go on the play store website on your computer and download plan b and it will install itself on the phone and help you find it.

GNote 3 on sale today in AT&T stores

I visited at&t store today and can confirm that they have Galaxy Note 3 in stock and are selling it today. This is in-store as far as I know.

Visited two AT&T corporate stores in NYC today. They have the demo unit, but no stock to sell, even though the demo unit has pricing, etc. listed next to it. One employee actually told me it was for sale today and I said "I don't think so, but I'll take one in black" - he came back and said he was misinformed by a co-worker and it will be available on 10/4. This was the flagship store in Times Square. I also visited the small store in Rock Center where I work and was told 10/4. Mind you, employees at both originally told me 9/27, then 10/1 and now 10/4...

If you can, try the AT&T corporate store in Jamaica part of Queens. They have white and black unites in stock, and also a demo unit for you to try it.
I'll chalk that up to different markets. Our display doesn't go up until the 3rd for launch on the 4th.

Wish I could, but Jamaica, Queens is a long trip from mid-town
Looks like most of these employees got confused with when they get the actual stock and when they get the demos.
Just called the same 5 ATT stores I've been calling and some said the 3rd and 4th and some said the 1st still.
It's the 4th for the southeast.

LG G2 - F320k (Korean) fail in UK England

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am ?
I purchased the F320k model from Negri Electronics who assured me it would work here in England which judging by the frequencies should.
I received the handset today and when I turn it on I get an error message and also no UK sim will work ? The phone detects networks but said to insert a new SIM. I am thinking I must be doing something wrong surely ?
Any help would be great. I have attached some pics of model and the error message.

First, have you try to go to customer service and return SIM card for newer one?
Yes. I have tried several Sims from various networks and same message. I got another pay and go SIM today and still fail.
Thanks for suggesting something though. Nice to see someone looked at my issue.

Hmm, well I got mine (F320K) from Negri about a week ago.
Because it takes a micro sim (rather than regular size used in my old SII), I got a replacement from my carrier.
Once I installed that and had it registered, all was good.
The contacts on the new sim did look different from the old one, whether that makes any difference I don't know. Certainly didn't get the message you got - perhaps yours was faulty.
Only prob I've got is getting rid of the Korean bloat...

Lol.... How annoying. Glad I sent it back now as Negri have been rubbish. Sent so many emails asking for help and got nothing. It was only when I threatened them with legal action they replied with "we are looking into this issue" by then it was 4 days too late so have sent it back as not happy to deal with them again plus as you said I may have had a dud.

Mitel Sprint MVNO S4

So at work we have recently been informed that all our phones are going to be switched to Mitel (a Sprint network based MVNO). We were all going to be given S3s unless we opted to pay for an upgrade or of pocket...The upside being we own the phone if we upgrade. I opted to upgrade to the S4, but at the time they were saying "Sprint, Sprint, Sprint" so I didn't realize we were going to be on a virtually unheard of MVNO. I've rooted every single phone I've had since I bought my Google G1 back in the day, & I love the level of control it gives me. Now I'm looking around and seeing absolutely zero information about phones on Mitel....so naturally, I'm a bit concerned. I know I can root it, but am I stuck on stock touch wiz? Or is this the point at which I get to dabble in pretending to be a developer? What kind of challenges am I looking at here? thanks in advance!

Unless they are branded I kind of assume they will still be using sprint phone's. Therefore not much will change. I could be totally wrong though lol.
Edit: Phone's are cheap, plans are not. http://www.mitelmobile.com/mitel-plans-and-pricing/
Well they have mitel branding on them from the pictures, but I guess I'll be finding out tomorrow when I get it!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well, I thought I ought to give an update. I got the phone today, and it is a Sprint S4. Not even any Mitel branding...as far as I can tell, all the same exact phone that sprint and it.... Booklets inside even refer you to Sprint's website. It's activated but data isn't working yet. Not sure what is up with that. If it's not working tomorrow, I'm supposed to call support.
