US T-Mobile to possibly get LTE 8.4 Tab Pro with Voice

Hope this is true! :good:
Yeah, you read it right. “Gigantaphablet” is for the phablets that are – quite simply – gigantic. At least that’s what they should be called. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 is one such device. And if leaks are to be believed, it could be making its way to T-Mobile. Or at the very least, released in a T-Mo friendly LTE model.
Leaked by TK Tech News, the device is shown picking up T-Mobile’s signal, and has “Voicemail”. So, it’s a phone. Remarkable.

Not really. Everywhere else in the world 3/4G Samsung tablets have always been voice enabled. The U.S. carriers have always stripped out the functionality on the tablets they sell. It's never really made a lot of sense actually because they'd make more money by a tablet being added to a plan as a "smartphone" to gain access to voice/MMS features. My SM-P601 on AT&T.

I have my t325 on t-mobile too. Unfortunately t-mobile here SUCKS but I need a connection to blue tooth my Verizon towered straight talk phones Internet over. So it's worth the $10 a month I pay.

The lte versions of the tab pro should all work on T-Mobile with the exception that they only support hspa. I'm using a sm-t525 on T-Mobile and have made calls on it.

So I called T-Mobile tech support and they claim that the frequencies listed in the specs for the "phone" would work on LTE here in the US. Sure hope they are right.

From what I can tell, the device does not support AWS band 4 (1700/2100) on LTE so I don't think it will work on their refarmed network.
I do see that it supports 1900 MHz PCS so you should be able to get H+ (non LTE "4G") in an area that's refarmed.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is the only thing holding me back from buying it right now...

Guess we will have to wait until if "officially" gets released by T-Mobile here in the states. I thought I read an article somewhere saying that when they did release it, it would be re-worked for 4G LTE. I just hope they truly include the voice capability or else I have no interest.

I was noticing 2100 MHz but not 1700/2100 is listed as supported. I'm probably going to wait for a Nexus 8 device at this point to get LTE (have a Nexus 7 and a Note 10.1(2014) in the household at the moment) but still holding onto this (or the Note S 8.4 that appears to have the same bands) as an option if we don't get a Nexus 8 LTE by the end of 2014.

Yes, what has been posted is CORRECT.
i am also running my T325 on T-Mobile, and I have a Unlimited LTE Plan with the carrier, However the Highest i have gotten on my PHABLET is H+, and on my Note 3 i get FULL LTE, so with that said these PHABLETS DO NOT have ACSESS to the LTE Band. Futher more, when i purchased the device in the US the Company that sold it to me was Honest enough to tell me that I WILL NOT be getting LTE in the US, that only over Seas receive LTE. I was upset but bought it anyway for the simple fact that I have the Note 3 and was Buying it to use it through Wifi cause i have my Note 3 set up with Unlimited Tethering without my carrier knowing a thing ( ), I also figured why Buy the Tab Wifi only when i have the option to get Voice + Wifi for a few more Bucks, Makes CENTS to me, just in case i loose or Brake my Note 3 I have a Backup with My Lovely Galaxy Tab Pro T325. Its a Win Win if you ask me, and when I do use it as a phone (With OUT a Bluetooth, or Headset) PPL be like WTF, is it really a Phone, and start asking mr 50,000 questions, so you will be surprised how many ppl would be willing to use this device as a phone, i know i can care less what ppl say, I CANTTT use them small A$$ Apple devices, just CANTTT do. Just had to throw my 2 Cents out there, Bless to Everyone, One Love..... :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops: P.S Theres a GREAT Custom Rom out for our T325, Ive been running it for Bout 5 days now and its 150% better than Stock, Big Up to the Developer ---> Genius319 "YOUR the MAN..!!!

Sorry for the late zombie reply but -
Even as far back as 2 years ago, one could port international devices' radios onto U.S. devices. With that in mind, I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't been able to d o that for the international (8") Tab S & Pro models ... especially this far out into these models life spans. We've had the SM-T325 on T-Mo for over a half year, & so we're no longer hopefull LTE radios will ever find their way onto the international versions. This far out into Tab S & Pro - ATT/T-Mo have STILL shown no interest to release a true phone enabled/LTE model. Samsung really seems to be stepping on their own crank. Between KNOX - no micro SD card slots ... non-removable batteries on their newest products ... who wants these new devices? It's really lame marketing . But I do like their teeny bezel ... so hspa+ Tab pro it is

For my wife, it it Tab Pro on T-mobile wifi hotspot from her phone. But, only allowed 5 GB/month that way, which is enough for her.

Anyone replaced their T-Mobile model with international unlocked?

Right now (just started looking into this) this seems like a no-brainer. Performance is much better and it's rooted!!!! I know you lose wifi calling in theory (although mine hasn't worked since I purchased it despite hours of troubleshooting and tweaking (sucks bc no coverage at home (rural)), but that can potentially be addressed by a custom rom? Thoughts?

I did the switch. Battery life is better. Speed difference is unnoticeable. Signal/Calling quality is fine. I would most likely switch back if root was available for the t-mobile model (but wouldn't if advanced calling was available for international).
Getting wifi calling + VOLTE + video calling is no small task if that matters to you (the S6's wifi calling was never ported to international models even though they shared the same chipset). It would take porting a qualcomm written csc to a exynos chipset and either porting t-mobile's custom ims implimentation or making the standard ims implimentation work with t-mobile. That being said, it has been done. The Galaxy S5 saw advanced calling from the S6 ported back, HTC's flagships have had wifi calling ported.

I had an international Note5 on T-Mobile's network. I hated not having WiFi calling and advanced messaging features and such. I was able to flash a ROM that included some of the lost features luckily, but that would not be the case here since the chipsets are different (at least not possible now). Additionally, for some reason the signal was always worse than my girlfriend's Note5 even when side-by-side. Consistently worse... I wouldn't deal with the hassle again.

hi, I switched too and I'm glad I did, battery is definitely better and I didn't notice performance differences (nor reception). I believe wifi calling hasn't been/can't be ported but some roms support VOLTE. Just be advised that samsung doesn't honor the warranty of international variants in the US hence insurance companies such as Upsie won't insure your device.

How do you switch?

This is the first phone I've owned that I really haven't felt the need to root. I used to want to root to disable bloatware and to change the theme of the system which I can do on the S7 edge without root. Only thing I do miss is the ad blocking with root but that's a small annoyance that I can live it. Also with the T-Mobile version you get all the necessary bands for extended range LTE which is amazing here in the LA area. Everywhere I go I have solid LTE whether it's indoors or oudoors. I also just used Samsung pay yesterday for the first time at Sprouts grocery store and it worked so easily on the first try! This pay system is flawless. The old lady behind me had a surprised look on her face when I payed that way. Got a free $20 gift card from Samsung for using it for the first time. Just my personal opinion on why the carrier branded T-Mobile version is better.

My experience with my international S6 was very similar to yours. I moved back to the states with it and signed up with T-mobile. In my gym, which is underground, I could barely get a 4G signal (or nothing at all). Emails and notifications wouldn't come through even when I was connected to 4G. I got the s7e on tmobile and although signal still isn't strong, notifications come through reliably.
Not too scientific as they are different phone models and I've never paid this observation too much mind but now that I've heard your story, I'm inclined to think that carrier specific models might be better at picking up signal on that carrier.

Been using international version for a while, returned my t-mobile version on the 20th day, by that time it was apparent to me that the t-mobile version would not be getting rooted anytime soon. In my opinion this device is much better rooted, especially since i like a lot of color schemes on my status bar and the Ads were driving me crazy. would've preferred a rooted t-mobile version, but a rooted international version is light years better than a stock version of any kind imo.

I'm on MID (Iraq)

s7 edge is having trouble with TMobile's LTE mobile data

So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?

Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?

I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

Verizon uses CDMA and AT&T uses GSM, so no you can't just pop-in a Verizon SIM card, it won't register to the network.
Attempting to flash a Verizon ROM would either fail or you'll end up with a bricked phone.
You'll have to sell your phone and buy the SM-G935V (Verizon S7 edge).

Thanks, I thought this was the case, just thought I'd ask the more experienced folks here. Appreciate it!

All US Galaxy s7 are the same. So if you want to use Verizon on At&t phone, you'll need to flash Verizon firmware on At&t phone. Then you can use Verizon sim in it and you'll get all necessary bands for Verizon including cdma.

Are you mad? Or just a troll?
First off, AT&T phones have locked bootloaders, so no, you can't flash sh*t. Same goes for Verizon.
Secondly, how will CDMA hardware magically appear if you flash the ROM for a different variant?

This is the Nougat Beta, I was talking about a full final MM ROM, if that's possible then it's a different story, but as far as I know, it isn't.
Besides, Verizon ended support for the Nougat beta anyway.

when i do a network scan on ATT s7 edge, it picks up BOTH cdma Verizon, Sprint and GSM att and Tmobile.
i can only register on att network since i have a att gophone simcard, i'm sure if you pop a verzion simcard in, you can use it on verzion

Is your phone set to connect to LTE?
If so, when you do a network search, Verizon and Sprint will still show up since they use normal LTE bands just like AT&T and T-Mobile. I remember when I had a Galaxy S5, it didn't support LTE Band 2 (1900 MHz), but there is a network in Pakistan that uses LTE Band 2, and upon doing a network search, that network would still show up in the list.
I'll accept defeat when you do pop in a Verizon SIM card and try to use the 3G network and not LTE.

go to apple.com and check out the iphone, one iphone use on any network, samsung is doing the same. 1 phone uses on any network.
from apple.com,
Buy without a carrier.
SIM-free
Activate with any carrier later.

Yes I know, I have an iPhone. But Apple has been doing this for years, you can mix and match iPhone models, they all work on CDMA and GSM. I have a Verizon iPhone 6S Plus and it works fine for me here in Pakistan.
Samsung is not doing the same, if they were, why would they make G935A, G935T, G935V, G935P etc, why not just make one variant for US and one for the rest of the world?
The Snapdragon 820 in the AT&T S7 edge MIGHT support CDMA, but it probably doesn't, cause if it was as easy as flashing a ROM, then anyone could pick any variant off Ebay and use it on any network, but it's not that easy.
A reputable website shows that the SM-G935A, does NOT support any CDMA bands so it is beyond me if anyone has managed to register to Verizon with an AT&T or T-Mobile S7 edge.

it just a freaking name. it' the same device, why 935a, 935t, 935v, 935p? cus they selling the phones to wireless carrier. it like a toyota, in usa, they calls it lexus, there is no lexus in japan, it still a toyota. haha

I find your reasoning to be extremely weak. Like, I just don't understand how you don't get it, I would expect someone living in the US to actually be able to understand this, but I'm shocked.

In that case, why not make 200+ variants for each carrier of the world? Wireless carriers outside the US also get phones, they don't have different variants for each carrier because all carriers here are GSM and they use very similar LTE bands, that is not the case in the US.
Don't you think there's more to it? Each phone has it's own different LTE band support and differently designed ROM. AT&T WiFi calling, VoLTE, same for T-Mobile and Verizon as well, you can't just have one unified device for all 4 major carriers, which is why they have a separate device for each one.

Ummmm.... really? You sure about that? Like, entirely sure?
The link you posted about flashing VZW firmware on the AT&T S7 edge, that was only so that AT&T users could use Verizon's Nougat firmware since they got left out of the Beta test. Nothing like that with Marshmallow.
Doesn't that give you more of a reason to believe that the 4 variants are indeed different from each other in some way, and not exactly the same as you say?

This is the Nougat Beta, I was talking about a full final MM ROM, if that's possible then it's a different story, but as far as I know, it isn't.
Besides, Verizon ended support for the Nougat beta anyway.

this is not about nugget beta, you first have to flash verizon final MM rom first.
"First, download one of the carriers firmware
Verizon PH1"
that' Verizon final MM rom.
didnt you said earlier it will brick you phone flashing verzion rom? LMAO.

Yes I did say it will brick, but don't take my word for it, I don't own either of the variants, so I can't say for sure.
Also, technically the tutorial doesn't require you to boot into the MM ROM, you need to flash it and then sideload a 7.0 update through recovery.
Anyway, you can keep laughing and tinkering with devices with locked bootloaders, I think the OP wanted a straight answer and he got it, could you imagine going through all this flashing and sideloading to achieve something that is as easy as selling his AT&T phone and getting a Verizon one?

you mean the OP got a bullsh*t answer from you?
isnt verizon nugget also a verizon rom? if that' the case, shouldnt that also brick the att s7 edge?

LTshineysides said:
Its come time to switch carriers and my S7 edge is an AT&T variant and I want to get Verizon service. From what I can find it appears I can't just drop in a Verizon sim card and go (correct)? Is the only other alternative to install a Verizon stock rom ... or just sell to buy a Verizon version?

can you confirm whether you were successful in using att variant on verizon? I really want to know the outcome. thanks.

Hi All
I can confirm that ATT is working on Verizon with SM-G936U firmware.

dude flash the ufirmware and your all set to go https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-t3570156

Not getting LTE on T-Mobile

I purchased an unlocked S10+ from eBay (SM-G9750) that had an origin from Asia. It had the Snapdragon chipset so I thought it would be the same model, but I'm not getting 4G LTE on my phone. My carrier is T-Mobile.
After doing some research, I believe I don't have access to 2 networks bands (71 and another 16(?)). Is there anything I can do to, "fix" the phone so I can have LTE?

Try flashing the tmobile firmware.

Did you make sure the APN setting is set for tmobile?

Yea, double checked it after resetting the phone a couple times as well. Still no luck...

I have the same phone and I'm getting 4G connectivity on T mobile. I'm in NYC and I'm connecting to bands 4, 5 and 12 typically. My speeds are significantly lower than my S7 because carrier aggregation is not enabled.
Are you in a rural area? I've heard that T mobile uses the 600mhz band 71 (which this phone is missing) for rural LTE coverage.

Type *#2263# in your dialer to see was which.bands your phone supports, I think it support T-Mobile. Also try *#77467# to pull up IMS settings and enable what you can under IMS Service Switch.

I had tried that yesterday, but got a, "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." I tried 77467 and I got the same error also.
Is there a setting I don't have enabled or need to change so I can use those codes?

Unfortunately not.. The T-Mobile CSC firmware is only available for the US models (G975U and G975U1).
G9750 is intended for South America, China and Hong Kong.
Although you only miss support for B71, so in theory LTE should work just fine since the G9750 supports other T-Mobile bands like Bands 2, 4 and 12.
Do you have another T-Mobile phone to test with to see if you get LTE in your area?

A new feature with the S10+ is that all the US carriers' firmware is embedded and automatically loaded up depending on the carrier SIM card inserted. What's the story on the SIM card you are using? I just swapped in the one from my Galaxy S7 and everything but carrier aggregation worked right out of the box (including WIFI calling, VoLTE and Samsung Pay). I suspect you may be able to fix this if you get a properly provisioned SIM.

Those codes don't work on mine either. *#0011# will let you see what 4G towers you are connecting to (run speed test app while you are looking). Signal spy or LTE discovery app are helpful too.

I don't know, these codes were working fine for me. Try this, download the Google dialer apk (Google the Google dialer port) and then use the code *#*#4636*#*#. You'll have to set it up as your main dialer app and enable permissions. Then try to see if you can configure it like my phone.

I've actually been with T-Mobile for a very long time and this sim is the same one I used in my HTC-M8, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 all of which had LTE, no problem.
I ran the Google speed test, and I'm consistently getting 10 - 15 MBPS. I'm not sure what it was before, but it's noticeably slower than my S8.
I will try getting the Google dialer and try a couple of the other codes mentioned. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far, everyone!
UPDATE:
Google Dialer didn't work either

Any update on this? I just bought a G975U1 unlocked, and my data seems to be very slow with exceptionally high latency. I was wondering if the problem was the lack of carrier aggregation, but that shouldn't cause high latency, should it? Any reason not to flash the carrier firmware? I'm a little confused on that, actually -- if the S10+ pre-loads the carrier firmware based on the sim, why wouldn't carrier aggregation be part of that?

I don't think the current "U" firmware brand switches and downloads the carrier firmwares.

I was unable to get my phone to work on bands 2 and 4. Anytime I connected to those two bands it never would work. Finally I had to send it in. It's a hardware problem (in my case)
