Any hope for TMobile tab getting 3g & voice or i sell it? and buy ATT Tab because i need both functions. Right now i have Edge and voice and call does not go through the tab if i am surfing web. Any drawbacks in ATT Tab?
Thanks,
The at&t tab well do everything you want, voice and 3g, no modem switching needed. I set one up for a friend. Just use Roto JM*, and the bell modem. It is the way a tab should be! I returned one t-mobile tab, but kept the other I bought from a private seller.
The only downside to at&t is the contract. If I could have unlimited data pay as you go, I would switch to at&t.
Thanks RC for clarifying things +2
I just got my Omnia 7 in the mail today and called AT&T to get it activated. When they tried to look up the Omnia 7 in their system nothing came up. The system said it was an unknown manufacturer and it had know idea what it was. Has anyone encountered this or did the person I talked to not know what they were doing? They got the edge network to work but because it is not recognized as a smartphone they couldn't give me a 3G data plan. I thought I read on other threads on here that they have gotten the Omnia 7 to work on AT&T with 3G in the US. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just don't let them recognize it as a smartphone
get off the phone and log on to the online system
add the data plan for non-smartphone
then use it!
its unlimited and its cheaper

That is what I tried to do but for some reason the data won't work on my phone. I double checked my account online and the data is turned on but so far no luck on my phone. I can make calls and text just fine but the data doesn't want to work (EDGE nor 3G). The tech support person said that some cell towers were down but should be fixed by now. Any advice?
Did you use Samsung's netorking tool to select the right network (AT&T)?
There are also some manual APN settings.
Do you have an unbranded phone?

Since the omnia 7 only support one of the two 3g band that at&t use (1900), maybe your area use 850 instead of 1900. Where are you located?

I downloaded the network tool and it was set to telecom.de so I switched it to AT&T and that got my data working (just EDGE network). Where would I find what APN settings at? I found some APN settings:
apn: wap.cingular
username: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1
were these the ones I was supposed to use? As for having an unbranded phone there are no stickers or logos on the back but on boot up it has the T-Mobile logo which would explain the telecom.de correct? Thanks for all your help.

I am in Kansas City, MO which is a fairly large market. I looked at some maps from 2004 of the different frequency bands and Kansas City had both 850 and 1900. I appreciate your help.
I've got (or better said had) a Omnia 7 from Deutsche Telekom too (they are cheap ). I live in Europe though, so I dont know much about AT&T and their 3G bands. The T-Mobile branding is actually nothing more than the boot logo, some default apps, the search page and default settings for things like MMS and networking.
You can get data working by using the networking tool, but I could not get MMS to work without flashing a retail rom with the right retail CSC for my country. Or well, you can get it to work when you hack on ADC in the registry...
Hey guys,
Wasn't sure where to post this, so I just put it here.
I was gifted a fake Galaxy S4 (a 1:1 copy) for Christmas. I was overseas so I could not test whether the SIM card worked. Upon return to Hong Kong where I live, I put my SIM card (my provider is 3 HK) , originally from my (real) Samsung S3 LTE into the fake S4. I managed to get a signal, and I was able to call someone, but my 3G internet does not work. I have tried toggling the GSM and WCDMA settings, and setting different APNs, but to no avail. Anyone know why this could be happening?
I also experienced a similar thing like this when I put the same sim card into an iPhone 4, where I could only call, but not use the internet. Something is telling me it may be that because I use LTE 4G on my SGS3, and because the fake phone does not support 4G it does not work.
I hope someone has had similar issues and is able to find a workaround. My fake S4 is rooted with CWM recovery and has a MTK MT 6589 processor.
Thanks

You dont need post it more times. With one is enough. XDA dont support fake clone phones

XDA dont support fake clone phones. Sorry
Does the iPhone not have LTE either? It may be a carrier thing. They should be able to fix your account.

Hello all, i have a question regarding an Australian Telstra Galaxy S5 with att service. the phone works with voice and text but has no data or mms. i have added an apn from my sim card in a galaxy nexus that gets me edge service. i have found band selection in the service menu but non seem to make it any better. I'm sure LTE won't work but thats ok. as long as i can get 3g at least. do i need to flash say the att s5 modems? if so how? i have the modem file and another already extracted from the att firmware. thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900i branded telstra
i think firmware ANE1 4.4.2

Using a foreign handset on a system will never give you perfect coverage. That is by design, as both Samsung and carriers want to lock you in, not make it easy for you to change carriers. Or do so without buying a new phone.
The specs for your variant suggest that it has full coverage on ATT's 3G bands and partial coverage of their LTE allocations. You don't need an ATT modem, just make sure that your firmware is recent - which it will be by definition, as the S5 was only released a few months ago.
Unfortunately you didn't provide much detail, in particular whether you were roaming or a regular ATT customer. Things that you might check in general, that your phone doesn't blacklist any ATT MCCs (roaming restrictions). That you have the correct APN information and that your ATT SIM is properly provisioned for LTE.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. In service menu, I was picking compatible gsm bands. Back to network screen in settings, had it on gsm/lte only. That was giving me edge. Read more into wcdma and used network mode wcdma/gsm. That gives me H or H+. I know I won't get lte but with that network mode and another apn, I'm satisfied with the end results.
It sounds like you inadvertently blocked coverage with your previous settings. The default setting is automatic band select which should have worked fine.
Glad you figured it out in the end.

Yeah. It was the apn that was hurting me. Default it used the wap.cingular apn. I put my sim in a galaxy nexus and used the apn that gave me. Plus changing network mode. Thanks though!
