I had a hard time finding a post for this so here I am.
Can somebody(me) buy a sprint or verizon galaxy tab, flash the appropriate ROM and flash the tab over to cricket to get voice and data?
I am very familiar with CDMA tools and QPST. I dont see how it could not work.
Has anybody done this? I'm probably going to try in the next week or so.
What ROM would I use?
Well I got 2 sprint tabs and thats the main reason I paid 1200 for them lol who else is gonna have a 7 inch phone on cricket lol
But as of right now I have not figured out how to get the dailer working and theres no roms or nothing currently to flash like u have to use the verizon version to even get clockwork
And as of now I have no clue how to get to the dail codes like ##(msl code) # or ##diag#
Im sure it can be done but first we have to get a dailer to get it flashed I mean it should be the same as the epic once we get that

So could it be done with a verizon tab? The internet has nothing on the subject.
Nope. Only AT&T & Tmobile and of course European tab could have voice. The voice feature on Tmobile is not desired as data speed is only @ EDGE while AT&T could have 3G & Voice together. If you want to have data speed @ 3G on Tmobile, you have use the modem switcher Roto created. It's in the Dev forum.
Verizon & Sprint tab could have voice feature by using VoIP. There is a thread in Dev forum. Check out the Bible while you're there.
I have a feeling if we can get a Verizon tab in DRM mode with QPST, we could flash it over to cricket.
Can somebody with a verizon tab press w/ Euro rom press ##3424# for me and tell me what happens?
Use notepad to enter dialer codes.
Hello,
I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, and from some reason, the carrier I bought it from, installed their own ROM and removed the Phone function from the tablet and I can't dial, only use the internet for browsing, so I was wondering, is there a way to bring the phone function back?
Thanks !

If you just bought it - and it is not what it should be - bring it back. Just my .02 cents
Good luck

I don't think it's only the wifi model because I have a SIM card in it already and I'm using the network mobile. But maybe there is a model with SIM but without Phone?

because of some tax issues, some carriers remove the phone option, when the device has cellular phone calls options, it a "phone" and not a "media device" or "computer tab" and the amount of the tax that the carrier (and you) need to pay goes higher, so they remove it to keep the price fair and not to start **** with the government office that in-charge on the mobile phones.
you always have the option to install stock rom with the phone option, it WILL damage your warranty and its on your own risk.
good luck!

Thanks for making it clear! I know I'm a bit late :laugh: but I forgot about it.
In order to install stock rom you have to root it first right? is there a guide to do the whole process? (rooting + installing stock rom on galaxy tab 2 10.1?)

or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number
or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number, thats what I did on my wifi only model, it would use your data plan instead, and works great, that way you could give your google number to all the gumbahs and your real number to the real folks in your world. Their are a number of apps that you can use and they work seemlessly with your native app and I had great conversations on voip with no noticeable lag.
Their are a number of 3rd party apps that intergrate with google voice, sign up for the service first, I made a deposit on it years ago and make and take calls on it, no problem, with no charges. If they leave v/m the service transcribes the voice mail and sends it to me via email, which is very nice option, along with spam/call block type features it beats the hell out of what the LEC's offer.

Google gives me a phone number and I will be able to call other phones? or it is more like Skype or Viber - that I can call to people with Skype or Viber only? will the people I call to need to pay something?
**Edit : I searched for "Google Voice" in Play Store but I didnt find it, I think it's not available in my country.
I guess I will need to root and install stock rom, is there a guide for doing it on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?
So is it possible to make VoIP calls on a wifi only model? Like with GVoice over an internet connection? Or is there a better app?

Please let the rest of us know if when you upgrade to 5.1, if your non-Verizon branded N6 shows as compatible with the HD Voice feature when you go to enable it. Thanks!!!!
Who has 5.1 yet?

When they get it. Isn't it rolling out starting now? I know that it won't happen instantaneously but once they get it, I am interested in knowing if they get the option of enabling VoLTE with a non-Verizon branded device on their line.
Nope haven't heard or seen anything about the n6 being pushed yet
I will flash as soon as i see it. I will try my best to remember to post back...
What exactly do you want me to test? voice and data at the same time?
Please grab the zip before u update. If its a staged rollout it would help others update sooner

Thanks, first you have to enable VoLTE on your line. So after you get 5.1, you would follow the instructions below to enable VoLTE on your line. It's Step 5 below that I am interested in - does a non-Verizon branded device show up as compatible with HD Voice feature?
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/advanced-calling-faqs/
You have to remove any incompatible features from your line:
Ringback Tones
Slacker Radio Tones
Caller Name ID
Company Name ID
Then you:
1. Sign in to My Verizon.
2. Click Manage My Account and select Manage Products & Apps.
3. Click the Get Products tab at the top of the page.
4. Click Get it now to select the product or service you wish to purchase.
5. When the checkout window opens, choose the compatible devices you'd like HD Voice added to.
6. Click Confirm Purchase to complete the checkout process for the selected devices.
7. Click OK on the confirmation screen. If applicable, a free text message with a link to download the app from the App Store will be sent to the device/s you've selected.
There is another way to do it on certain Advanced Calling 1.0-capable devices (such as LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, and Motorola Droid Turbo). These phones allow you to get Advanced Calling 1.0 right from your own devices. Simply follow these steps:
Go to Settings.
Tap Advanced Calling under WIRELESS NETWORKS.
Tap Activate Advanced Calling and follow on-screen instruction.
You've successfully added Advanced Calling 1.0.
Business customers: You can add the HD Voice feature in the My Business Account portal as you normally do or by contacting your company's Verizon Wireless administrator.

I can already add HD Voice to my verizon account with the nexus 6 but obviously it doesn't do anything yet. Hopefully with 5.1 it will actually enable voice + data at the same time

Did you have another HD Voice capable device on your line before the N6, like a Droid Turbo or an iP6?
I want to know b/c I want a white N6 and if there were any problems with VoLTE on the non-Verizon branded N6, I would opt for the Verizon blue one. Please let us know if you can do simultaneous voice + data when you update to 5.1, thank you!!!!
Just a FYI... I just went into my account and it shows that HD voice is compatible with my line (n6 from moto). I've had the n6 for a couple months. I was able to set it up through the account but obviously won't be able to try it until 5.1. But at this point, I'm feeling pretty good about it working right out of the box when 5.1 drops.

Thanks! I think it will be fine. I am not sure why the iPhones had problems and the N6 doesn't but it is great news!
I have a Sprint N6 rooted on Verizon and I'm wondering do I have to unroot my phone to be able to get the 5.1 update so I can get VOLTE?
I can't find the option to add HD Voice to my account. Could this be because I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan?

Verizon Business line
I have a Nexus 6 on a Verizon government/business line. I'll follow up after Android 5.1 drops and let you all know if I get simultaneous voice and data. My line has unlimited data. I am not able to manage my account, so if a feature needs to get added, I need to get my business office to set that up.
I believe VoLTE is coming as standard in 5.1 regardless of carrier. We may be able to use it in custom ROM anyways.

It may be necessary for VoLTE.
According to the release notes HDcalling will be included in Lollipop 5.1 so we not require to flash the official one. Not 100% sure it will work with VZ tho. We'll see.

I'm sure Verizon will find a way to screw us. Its a nexus... Didn't go so well the last time. Wasnt falling for the same tricks again.
Hey everyone, I got my unlocked Note 8 yesterday and have been using it with a T-Mobile sim card. I spent a bunch of time trying to get the built in video calling to work and I finally got it, so I thought I would post a guide so the next person doesn't have to do the leg work.
Here is what I did, and I can now call other T-Mobile users via dialer based video calls: (the one down side is all numbers show the video call option, even if they are not T-Mobile customers, the calls just turn into audio when the other person answers)
1. Download Shortcut Master from app store (Light version works, but it's a great app, support the dev if you can)
2. Open the app and go to the menu (three dot's top right) and select app explorer
3. Scroll down to IMS Settings and select it.
4. Scroll down to ImsSettingsLauncherActivity (last item on my list) select it and hit launch.
5. Select IMS Service Switch and under that turn on everything on that screen. (For me most things (especially RCS items) were disabled by default, but when I looked at a friends S8+ settings they were all on so I tried that and all works now.)
6. Make video calls!
That's it, you should be able to make video calls from the dialer now.
Hope this helps someone! Thanks to the app dev and everyone on here for all the help I have gotten over the years!
Hi, Can you help out enabling HD voice & video for us helpless VZW peeps with the unlocked version? Please!!!

How did you get this to work? i followed the guide and it shows the video icon in the dialer but when i call a friend with the exact same setup it says "video calling is currently not available" and then only does voice.

Nevermind i got it ha. you gotta place the phone call as a normal call THEN hit the video icon during the call
Tried it for unlocked on Sprint...lol...no go..

As far as I'm finding on XDA, we'll need to flash the CSC from a T-mobile device to get this working. When I googled it, I found this thread in the S8 forum with a utility for switching CSCs but I am not sure if it would work for the Note 8, and in my case really not sure if it would work to flash a Tmobile CSC (Snapdragon device) on my Korean Exynos model.
Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264

Interesting, good to know and thanks for the info. I won't be getting the unlocked one, I'm getting the international version for rooting so we'll see if it works with that. Sure hope it does because tmobile reception is abysmal where I live.
I have a t moble variant, I want to flash the unlocked firmware but will able to flashback to the t mobile firmware if I wish? that's the only thing stopping me from flashing the unlocked firmware. the video calling was a big deal for me so thank you for figuring this out. also are you 100% on the unlocked firmware or do you have the t mobile CP flashed with the unlocked firmware?

I don't have that option either .
Quick Note before you start this - If you are on stable one UI 3.x / Android 11 or greater, see the bottom of the post to see the workaround. Thanks to @knuschit
Introduction - If you have ever bought a device that comes locked with the carrier you will see there are some carrier baked features missing in unlocked devices. While putting in your sim will change CSC of your device you might still not get all the features. So far i fail to understand why would device makers and Carriers make it so difficult for users. I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
Quick Pre-Check - Before starting if you have been using RCS on Google Messages you might want to de-register. Follow the process here: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat.
You can always activate it in case you want to go back to RCS on google messages.
This will only work if you are on Android 10, or the Beta version of Android 11. Samsung has blocked this on Stable Android 11.
STEPS1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
3. Dial *#*#467#*#*
4. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
5. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
In case you cant see the screenshot - Just tap on the first option IMS service Switch, Then make sure MMTEL Switch and RCS Switch is toggled on.
If you see below RCS Switch there is a section titled MMTEL
Sub-options of MMTEL are
VoLTE
VoLTE-Video
VoLTE-Call-Composer
SMS over IP
Supplementary Services
Called Dial Third Party Number
JUST TURN ALL THESE TOGGLES ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
7. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
8. I changed back to default phone app after this.
9. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.
These settings wont stick after OS/Firmware update via Odin, OTA or Sideload and steps would need to be repeated.
Edit Update -You can See all three screenshots together here.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
WORKAROUND: SINCE THE ABOVE METHOD IS NOT WORKING ON ONE UI 3.X / Android 11The conventional method doesnt work on Android 11 so use the method below:
1. Install Alliance Shield X >> Create account and Give necessary permissions
2. Open Alliance Shield X settings and toggle New App Manager Layout On
3. Look at this post and follow
4. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
5. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
I can confirm this works.
ADDITIONAL CONFIRMED INFO FROM USERS / TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the following step in case you had RCS activated on Google Messages and doing the above steps does not get you RCS in the Native SMS App. Thanks @Compusmurf
Compusmurf said:
Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

The default on contacts will still show duo. Make a regular voice call and then you will see the native video call icon wait i will show you as you can SEE HERE
As soon as the person answers the option to toggle to video is activated in the first row center icon. Let me know if that is the same for you and works.
It used to be a call hold icon earlier before we toggled the IMS settings.

While putting in your sim will change CSC of your device you might still not get all the features. So far i fail to understand why would device makers and Carriers make it so difficult for users. I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
2. Dial *#*#467#*#*
3. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
4. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
5. See the screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON - My video share was on, it turned off while taking screenshot so make it on too.
6. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
7. I changed back to default phone app after this.
8. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.

Because You dialed wrong code you dialed *#*#467*#*# please check what i asked to dial.
I have a U.S t-mobile branded phone (AT15 ; Sep security patch)and use the Samsung stock messaging app. I have been hoping for RCS to be enabled but that hasn't happened yet. I know google messaging has this feature but I prefer to stick with my current stock samsung messaging app. Will following your method help me in activating RCS? Thanks!

Yes it will and i can confirm i checked and it is working. I see when my friend with RCS activated is typing. So typing indicators are working a big sign that RCS is working.
To verify before you do any of the above steps open your default Samsung SMS app and go to settings by clicking on 3 dots on top right, do you see an option called 'Chat Settings' if not, once you have gone through the suggested steps above you will see chat settings activated meaning RCS working.
Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

Thanks for confirming.
I did all this a week or 2 back to mine and my granddaughters phones.
I didn't do any kind of writeup because this info has been out there in the wild, just not overly shared because there are other options in that menu that can wreck your phone experience.
Glad someone did.
(Note to folks, don't go randomly changing things here if you don't know what they are and haven't been validated by others)
Since you did so good here, you should write a document for folks how to "update" using FRIJA and ODIN for folks with U1 devices. Maybe that'll cut down on the folks that complain that they can't get Month X security update because Carrier Y is slow.
I know how, but writing a document step by step isn't the same and I'm very bad at documentation.
