Ok, so I would really like to transplant my micro sim from my iPad, seeing as though I got the $29.99 unlimited plan & pop it in a T-Mobile Tab. Would this work? I've checked & the T-Mo Tab does support At&t's frequencies...
It's not a micro sim card, just a regular SIM. So not sure if you can get an adapter to make it fit?
It's a regular SIM card. I tried but the tab asked me for the unlock code. I guess that's another dead end. I talked to tmobile and they told me I have to wait 40 days for the unlock code. Any ideas?

1) you need to get around T-mobiles SIM lock
2) the tab is 2G quadband, so GPRS will work. But you won't get 3G on AT&Ts frequencies
flashing a rom should disable simlock. am i right?
no it will not

There is an unlock guide in General now for this.
Just FYI.

I tried it and my tab is now unlocked, but I cant get ATT to work. It connects and disconnects from the ATT net. I have played with the settings but no luck. Cant even get 3G with ATT. Help please!!

Have you set up the AT&T APN info?
Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/(menu New APN) then enter the AT&T network info, which you can find with a quick web search.
Until you have that information, it can't connect to the internet. The T-Mobile APN is the only APN that device knows at the moment, and even that is hidden when using a SIM from a different network.
to get your tmobile Tab to work on att u have to settings>wireless and network>mobile network. then change Network Mode from AUTO to GSM Only
then you can use this on ATT with EDGE internet
What about putting an iPad microsim with adapter in the AT&T galaxy tab? Would any tweaking need to be done? Would 3G work or just EDGE?
I have no interest in voice on the G Tab.
thanks
I did some checking and was able to verify that the iPad microsim in the AT&T g tab will work. The poster didn't specificy if it was 3G or edge but I'm guessing it was 3G.
You will need to use "broadband" as the APN name for the iPad SIM data plan.
You may also need to choose "Supl" as the APN Type, had this issue with the Dell Streak,
Edge would work until i went to use Google Maps then it wold disconnect.
You will also want to set to 2G only or GSM as the US TMobile Tab doesnt have ATT frequiencies for 3G

I'm trying to get the wifi hotspot to work on my wildfire, I can connect everything - wifi, mobile network etc. But the wifi hotspot doesn't work anymore - even though it has worked in the past. When I activate everything under the Portable wi-fi hotspot check box it says "no mobile network"
Can anyone help me out?
I'm using sunbabh ROM on T-mobile UK
Just check ur kernal because I heard the new jacubs has WiFi issuse so install his version 4.1 that one works fine no issuses

I'm not using Jacobs kernal, all ive got is sunbabs. It has worked before using the same setup
I'm on t-mobile too and i noticed this feature has stopped working (on my desire) even though it has worked in the past. All I can assume is that t-mobile have blocked this service and now only offer it with their (more expensive) web n walk max plan - the same plan you need to have to be able to make skype and voip calls over 3G.
I doubt its a kernel issue because it worked fine when i was on holiday in India where I purchased a 3g sim card with an unlimited data plan.
Update:
Just out of curiosity i tried the wifi hotspot again and to my surprise it now works. I didn't change any of the settings on my laptop or the phone. So i guess the service isnt just available on webnwalk max. I don't know what causes the problem - sorry.
I have a laptop that has a ATT SIM card with data plan. I tried to use it with my ATT Galaxy tab but it didn't work! I easily reach my 2GB limit on my TAB and I was hoping I could use the one in the laptop since I rarely use it. I did SIM unlock (although both are ATT SIMs) yet didn't work.
Any ideas if this can be done and how?
Thanks
Hello.
Although not specific for you, I've done similar with my Canadian Bell Android phone with unlimited data plan, and Bell Galaxy Tab with pay per use plan.
I now have galaxy tab with unlimited data plan, provider is none the wiser.
Your issue might be the apn difference between the tab and the apn set up on your laptop's sim plan.

Thanks for your reply, but how did you do it? or it did work right out of the box without any adjustments?
Anybody have an answer or work around would be much appreciated
Find the APN settings from your service provider for the sim.
Then install APNDROID PRO and enter them settting from above. Install the sim and your laughing! !!!

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which only has 3G and no calling. I also have a Vodafone SIM which has data enabled and calls/sms too. This vodafone SIM works perfectly on my other phone with 3G and everything else. But it doesn't work on the Tab. My Tab has Honeycomb OS. I tried resetting the APN settings... But no luck. Data and Data Roaming are enabled. On the status bar it says no internet connection. Only once did the data work-only once. Please help me.

Hi All,
I have a Sprint S4 (SPH-L720) which i got from the states. I plan to use this in Canada...was able to root/unlock the phone via SIM Unlock Method posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587&highlight=sph-l720).
My issue is that i am unable to browse internet or use any apps needing internet on the GSM/UTMS network mode. I have a Rogers LTE chip that i am using and am able to use the phone (voice calling) with no issues. I can use internet on wifi but am unable to when trying internet via the phone chip...i do have a 6GB plan with Rogers and can browse internet when used on another phone.
I had to downgrade the Baseband to MDL/MDC to sim unlock the phone and have later installed MF9.
The software version and baseband now on the phone is: L720VPUAMF9. Earlier had an issue that the wifi was not working, option was disabled...(was getting a message - that an app is trying to connect...) this got fixed after i flashed the kernel version.
Can anyone advice how i can use data from the GSM network and not wifi.. has anyone faced the same issue.
Add your APN for your gsm sim under APN settings.

Thanks guys...i was able to get the APN settings and now my phone works on data from the lte chip inserted.
Now my issue is that my phone does not show LTE....i have another S4 with Rogers and i verified running speed test on a friend's phone to compare...my specs on the sprint phone are almost 40% lower than his phone on the same network..ran from the same location (apt). I tried various combinations i.e. (LTE, LTE/CDMA, GSM) but i can only get 3g or H+.
Any suggestions that i can try...Thanks!
This phone doesn't have the proper bands to work on Rogers LTE.
