Hi there,
I've one Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, only with WI-FI connection. I would to know if it's possible to connect one 3G USB Pen device to my Galaxy Note.
It's possible?
Thanks

Do you mean the Bluetooth Pen? It's not 3g.
The pen is like a BT headset. Its the note itself that is 3g. You need to have bought an N8000 model. WIFI only is useless as you can't make phone calls away from wifi or without the phone tether. And why would you tether to a phone, make a call from the tab then untether?
Those of us in North America have greater access to public WIFI and it's easier to use VOIP on a tablet or smartphone. I've used my bluetooth headset to make phone calls on my note. I have VOIP on my smartphone and use it frequently, I live in an area with poor cellular sevice and often have better call quality with VOIP on a WIFI hotspot.
Thanks for your responses.
In fact, I've one Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010, without 3G. I would like to connect one USB 3G Modem. This is only for access to the Internet.
hoss_n2, I don't have root on this device to test this app.

If you do not have root and do not want to root the only option is to exchange it for a 3G enabled one. I see no point in buying a device without 3G when you actually need it.

Unfortunately, i can't say about USA and their contracts and activations and whatevers (which is your case), in case of Europe the answer is of couse yes, you can switch SIMs as you wish, as there is no direct link between the SIM card and any device.
Yes you can. I switch between my nexus and galaxy tab. But that's just me. If you can get the data plan from your phone working on your tab then your golden. Don't ask how I did it though.

Negative, in order for the tab to connect using 3G, it has to have a "webconnect" data plan like the usb stick that you use with laptops. This is different from the data plan that the vibrant has. I was in TMo earlier today to buy a Tab and asked, there was a rep there that personally tried to do the same thing. I didn't buy the tab though, I'm not sure if I want to pay for data on 2 devices ocnsidering I may not use 3G on the Tab much. Maybe I'll wait for the wifi only.

On which version of tab? I am thinking to buy the AT&T version of Tablet if I can use my smartphone SIM from X10. I intend to use tablet only with WiFi 99% of the time. But would like to have the flexibility to use smartphone SIM while on travel/vacation.
u should be able too
Europe, Hungary
SIM cards can be swapped freely between the tab and a regular phone. Service limitations may occur depending on the SIM card inserted.
I use my tab as a work phone too, and I've got a data plan with a voice plan by definition a smart phone plan. Works great
Just wondering how many users on XDA are using WiFi model versus 3g model. Development for WiFi model seems lacking...I'm wondering if there are less WiFi tablet users than 3g?
I live in Sweden and have the N8000
Well since the US only has WiFi models so far, I'm guessing we're the odd ones who don't have the telephony service devices. Probably the rest of the world has the 3G devices for the most part. That explains the lack of development.

One of the greatest and most unique things about the Note 10.1 is that its 3G model has FULL phone capabilities i.e. it's a 10.1" "SMARTPHONE"!!
It has allowed me to get rid of my secondary smartphone which I used as a backup (in case my primary smartphone gets lost/stolen/broken) and to use my foreign SIM card (I live part of the year abroad so according to which country I am in I switch the local SIM to my primary smartphone and the foreign one to my secondary smartphone to be able to check and reply SMS's from the other country and to manage the bank account and debit/credit cards tied to my Italian SIM card when I am not in Italy).
One of the reasons I got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G that I had before the Note 10.1 3G was that it was the only tablet around to offer full message capabilities BUT it lacked the ability to make calls and it lacked the SIM application toolkit (very important to me for home banking since through the SIM menu, as opposed to the home banking app, it works even when I don't have an internet connection available), the Note 10.1 is a FULL FLEDGED "smartphone". I couldn't be happier with it.
I am also getting the Samsung Bluetooth S-Pen to complement it.
If the Note 10.1 had also the Nexus 10's display it would be simply PERFECT as it already has EVERTYTHING I need and works extremely well. It's the most feature packed tablet out there today and I LOVE its SW, its weight (compared to many other "leading" tablets...), audio, battery and the fact that it's back it's NOT made of ****ing metal.
It is using the Note 10.1 that I got the urge to upgrade my OG Note. I planned to skip the Note II but I have seen what a difference 2GB of RAM make and can't wait anymore...

I have an N8000 with 3G. I would never buy a tablet without 3G/4G connection. Not because I need it as a phone - although it is extremely useful at times - but because I don't spend all my time at home and in wifi equipped coffee shops! The reason that I have a tablet at all is for a whole raft of connected requirements - internet and direct connections, when I am out and about. Some days I will be the whole day without a wifi connection. I use my PCs much more than my tablet when I am at home - I can type this much faster on my PC than my note!. I can use the N8000 in my car (a lot), out in the street and in loads of places that don't have wifi. In my car I have the screen now set up with 3 windows - Google Maps SatNav, Hands-free Phone and Poweramp, my music player. All windows active and accessible using the Multi-Window App in 4.1.2. I need 3G for SatNav and Phone otherwise I'd just have a music player!
I use the NetCounter App to keep track of my usage and I just checked the last three months since I had my Note. I used 62 percent on WiFi and 38 percent on Cell - but during that time I downloaded three big flash images of well over 1g each to do upgrades to JB and these were on WiFi. All other big downloads I do via my PCs. Even at home when I sit down in my garden I am out of range of my WiFi - even though I have a relay range extender.
People say why not just tether my tablet to my phone and use that for cell connection but none of the five carrier ISPs that I use in South Africa, the UK and the US, allow any level of tethering on their data accounts. And much of the time I only need to carry one device.
So loads of benefits (for me) of a virtually continuous data connection.

As far as I know they are still working on updates. And I think only triband phones will be able to do WiFi calling meaning no older gs4s will be able to do it.

Daniel,
I never thought about it that way. I just wondered why the S4 Mini and Galaxy Mega were singled out for the upgrade.
I have the Tri-Band SPHL 720T version, so I should be in line to get it.
Unfortunately, it's very hard for me to find info on tri-band or Wi-Fi calling.

I used the app GrooVeIP and Google voice to be able to call, text and use voicemail over WiFi for free. You sign up on Google voice to use your mobile number and then follow the instructions at http://snrblabs.com/snrb/grooveIp.aspx . I used this in Europe where there was no CDMA Sprint service and I had WiFi in the hotels or local hot spots. It even works on on my Note 8 tablet but its a little weird holding the tablet up to my head to talk.
Testing out the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE version. So far I will be keeping the Tab S2! I wasn't going to upgrade from my Tab S, but after these last two days of using it on the road, it is a premium tablet! Samsung has come a long way from previous builds, not that I didn't like them just has stepped up.
Here is a look at the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE, it is a bit long as I was testing out the 4G LTE with Verizon SIM and AT&T. Also some web browsing and overall look.

With Google Voice, pretty much anything with access to the internet and a microphone can place calls and receive them. It does come in handy at times.
Honestly i don't see much a point for a tablet to place calls outside of google voice, because that would mean you have a separate phone number.

I have the tab s 8.4 lte version and when my S6 was sent in for repairs, I used the tablet as a phone. It was great! The size wasn't that bad to hold up and with the built in ear speaker, I may have looked weird talking on it but it worked just fine. More so, I purchased the LTE version because its great to have Data anywhere.
Also got the the LTE version. You can also whatsapp on it. It basically a giant S6

Just got mine today. Took the ATT sim out of my ipad air 2 and slipped it in and it shows the network bars but wont connect to any data. 4G lte worked fine in the air 2.

EDIT: Ok they set it up with the new imei and it is working fine now with just one issue. It shows 4G and not lte like it did with the sim out of my S6. It is getting the same LTE speeds as my S6 it just wont show actual LTE like it did with the sim from the S6. Doesn't bother me just kind of odd.
@ElCamino, thanks for the detailed unboxing and review!
Samsung has like 100 variants of these tablets, each with a different band support configuration. Can you please list the full Samsung model number (including all the letters past the 815...) and its FCC ID (if there is one) of this imported model?

I may have carrier model numbers wrong but my point remains

Make sure the SIM is provision for LTE. For a Galaxy Note 5 that I had done a video for, it would only stay at H+, called and they changed it on their end. In the Tab S2 I have, it shows 4G at top but checking in settings, about devices, status. I can see that it shows its on LTE.

Just a few comments in defense of calling capability in a tablet.
There are several reasons you might want this:
1. You are carrying around a tablet and a smart phone, why not just carry one device, a tablet?
2. Smart phones are too small, you need something bigger for your eyes.
3. Your new vehicle demands a phone connection and you constantly forget your phone, both at home and in the vehicle. You plan to install a small tablet for a phone & also other uses so it is there permanently.
Comments:
1. No where is there a law that says your phone must be held up to your head. In fact, it is probably better that you don't do that (radiation). Modern technology allows other ways of communicating.
2. T-Mobile has the 'DIGITS' feature in progress where 1 number (your number) can be used for multiple devices. Hence NO NEED to get a second number.

I have the T719 and it is my only phone at the moment! I am liking having a large device for my apps and internet, and the only really hurdles have been not being able to pocket the device, and calls in public can be cumbersome without a headset. But in the car with Bluetooth it's exactly the same, and it's not an issue at home at all.

It's simply SM-T719, no carrier affiliation at all. It isn't sold in the U.S. except online. The guy I got it from gave me the link to a great site that ships to the U.S. very quickly. It's in another thread here, couldn't find it just now but will find it if you're interested ? Oh, and it seems to have full Penta band LTE, so it even supports T-Mobile perfectly. Between all that, and the snapdragon processor. I couldn't be happier with it.

My Verizon variant doesn't have this. What about the AT&T variant?
If by sharing you mean can it be a hotspot, yes. Mine does. Probably depends upon service plan though.
No. Read that article. The GS7 can share a WiFi connection. In other words, instead of sharing your LTE connection to other devices, it can share it's WiFi connection to other devices by broadcasting it on a different SSID.
A perfect use case for this would be using paid hotel WiFi that charges per device. Pay once on your phone, then share that connection under a different SSID and hook your tablet, laptop, etc. up to it.
