Hi everybody! I heard from someone that we can use the antenna of another company like Rogers or Bell even if we are with Telus or Videotron. I want to know if it's real and if the answer is yes, how can I do that?
I want to know also what is the best way to root a Telus Galaxy S4 (I337M)

You can use other networks provided you have a SIM card installed for such network.
I used this method to root. It's very simple and the dev is very, very well recognized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

Thank you for you answer. I heard that Bell and Telus are sharing her antenna, so it is possible to be always connected to bell Antenna?

To be able to use a Galaxy Tab elsewhere, you need need to have the GSM version, like you can see in Roto's thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323 and also, here :
http://www.slashgear.com/verizon-galaxy-tab-review-15113997/
Unfortunately (for you), Verizon is basically a CDMA operator; their Tabs are coming with a special module for controlling the access in their network,
and cannot take a SIM card... I am really sorry for you and hope this helps... Am I right, guys ? Please correct me if I'm wrong !
Googling Indonisia and CDMA indicates that there are CDMA networks there.
As far as i am aware though, CDMA devices are not locked - you just need to get the new network to register the ESN of the device. I could be wrong though!

Dave
What are you trying to unlock? There is a code to bypass the activation if you want to use it via Wifi.
If you are just trying to bypass the activation to get the device to work click this link: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/11/26/how-to-bypass-activation-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/
As far as getting Verizon in Indonesia i have no idea if it is even possible.
(if you have an android cell phone, just tether it to your galaxy so you don't have to for more data. You can find a tutorial on youtube on how to tether your device to your galaxy tab.

The ESN for the device is a bit like a GSM IMEI number, and is unique to the device. Therefore the only way to get the ESN is to buy the Tab!

hello someone know for DIAG MODE samsung galaxy tab?
please someone help me
Sell the Tab on eBay and buy a GSM version instead. Trying to get an off-network CDMA device to work basically involves bribing someone at the telco to enter it into their system. It's unlikely to work. Easier, quicker and probably cheaper in the long run to sell it and buy one that will work properly.

[Q] Which US carrier tab to be used in Canada

HI there, first, thanks everyone for sharing such great info about the galaxy tab.
I got some quick questions here, did search before posting but did not find so sorry if it's been asked already.
I'm looking to get a US tab and was wondering which US carrier tab is most suited to be used on Bell's network?
Also, I've seen a lot of tabs with bad ESN going for great price on eBay... if I get one from US and try to use it here in Canada on Bell's network...will they work fine?
Cheers!

ATT is the ONLY US provider compatible with Bell 3G, don't buy a Tab from anyone except ATT, Bell or Rogers. The Bell Tab is 550$ right now off contract, pretty sweet deal.

This man speaks the truth. ATT is the only carrier that's completely compatible with Canadian carriers (with some minor 900/850 MHZ band bickering) Tmobile uses AWS (Of which the Canadian equivalent is Wind Mobile) and Sprint/Verizon are both using the archaic CDMA system.
Oddly enough both Telus & Bell were on CDMA (and *technically* still support it, but that's a serious grey area) up until a year ago. Rogers has been GSM for a good while now.

I would *STRONGLY* suggest you read the readme thread before proceeding to Flash your unit. There's some nasty roms floating around that are locking bootloaders. The one I linked is safe thanks to awesome preparations by Rotohammer and ayman. Do your research before tweaking and have fun.

I use 3minit for network icons. Has a couple to choose from.

[Q] Anyone using a t-mobile s5 on at&t?

I've got the AT&T s5 and I love it, but I'd love it MORE if I didn't have to worry about the locked bootloader. I'm tempted to get a Tmobile s5 and root that. Is anyone actually using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T service and if so, how good are the data speeds, is there anything that you can't do with the Tmobile on AT&T, for instance does surfing the web during a phone call work or not, that kind of thing. I very much appreciate any info on this. I know other Tmobile phones are working OK but I need to know obviously about the s5 in particular.
I do know that I will need to get an unlock code for it, no problem there, I do plan to install custom ROMs on it as well.

[Q] Rooted At&t phone on Tmobile, how do I get...

Hey guys. I have and Unlocked and rooted i9505 S4 (at&t branded), currently running the Goldeneye rom. I recently switched to T-mobile and wanted to make use of their wifi-calling feature but even after installing the t-mobile sim card, I dont see an option for wifi calling anywhere.
can anyone suggest a way I can get wifi-calling on my unlocked/rooted at&t branded s4? thanks!
I think you might need to take it to T-Mobile store. From my understanding, it is only for SGH-M919. AT&T phones are not compatible, even if you switch carriers. You may have to flash a T-Mobile Touchwiz rom, not sure. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. :cyclops:

Thx for the reply rootnerd! yea thats the problem i'm having... I read that some people got it working with a flashed a T-mobile rom while others said they couldn't. So I was trying to see if anyone could shed some light as to which T-mobile roms with the wifi calling feature could be flashed via safestrap on an at&t phone, because I don't really want to buy a new phone from t-mo just yet

Yeah this is where AT&T users would know the answer. I currently have a T-Mobile S4 but I really don't think it's worth keeping Touchwiz just for WiFi calling. But everyone has there own perspective.
