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.

Thanks... Yes this wouldn't be as convenient to use as a phone, but would work if someone wanted to use a Bluetooth headset and a Smartwatch.

Yes I don't think I would use the tablet as a phone, maybe only as backup with a Bluetooth headset. Maybe I can see using it in the car as a phone where you can pair it your car or just use the Bluetooth headset.

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

What carrier you using your Tab S2? I call my Tab S2 9.7 the big Note 5++ ?
Sent from my SM-T815 using Tapatalk
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. It is an add on line for our mobile family plan. I guess I need to call att and have them provision the sim for the S2? The sim out of my S6 active works fine it the S2.
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?
How do I access the phone call feature on my AT&T LTE 9.7 in version ? Don't see an icon or anything to make calls or is calling limited to certain tablets ?

I do not think carrier versions have calling function that is cellular..this is standard practice as on t705/707?, t325/320 etc...the carriers fault...not Samsung's just as iPad has no cellular calling just data capability..same as t335/337?, t230/231?/235/237? and so on....
I may have carrier model numbers wrong but my point remains
You need international version for cellular calling

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.

What is the exact model of your T719 including the letter if any after the 719? I am still looking for a model to install in my car to use as the car phone, same number as all devices using T-Mobile Digits.

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.
Hey folks yesterday I had problems with LTE on At&t, when Im in a call LTE drops to 3g and things like that, so I didn't have VoLte (HD calls).
The solution I called customer service and ask them to put the hd voice in my account. They have to create a dummy IMEI (because their database is older than my grandma) that way you can enjoy your Mi Mix and LTE.
What is working right now?
VoLTE
Video calling
I haven't figured out the WiFi calling yet.
Good luck!

Can you do video calls? Also this happen when the tower in ATT refresh they don't recognize this device. Mine was working fine for 5 months and yesterday stopped working.
I've only had my phone for a few weeks, but I've had plenty of devices from outside the US on ATT and have never had a problem before
I've been using it for months and am wondering if anyone else has had issues with MMS. I seem to have issues with MMS on every phone, but that's a side point. It seems like MMS only work on an app by app basis, and I have to go through great difficulty to get group messages.
I finally received my mi mix... IV been wanting this phone for a long time and now I finally have it. The reason I have been putting it off is because I was told that it would not work on Verizon. IV had Verizon for 5 years and didn't wanna switch to AT&T. I received my MI mix expecting it to not work on Verizon. After installing my Verizon nano Sim into the MI mix and waited for a few seconds and, BAMMMM BABY, I have VOLTE and I can send and receive texts/calls. I am very happy now. One of the big reason I got the MI mix is so I can bootloader unlock and root. Question, I'm on 6.0.1 what's the fastest way to root and can I root without a computer.

I noticed that I only get LTE after toggling airplane mode off and on. It VERY rarely switches to LTE on it's own :/

How do you see if VoLTE is on?
What do you use for Video Calling?
Was on AT&T and none of this worked, switched to T-Mobile and no Wifi Calling on the MIx.
Have no such no problems with LTE on ATT.
Does the T-Mobile version support native video calling like my Samsung phone does (no third party app needed, just phone number through dialer to compatible phones)?
Since my family and I use that a lot, the lack of that would be a possible deal breaker
I heard the OP6 and OP5\t couldn't do it on TMobile and assuming the unlocked OP6t can't (can anyone confirm?)

I am considering a OnePlus 6T so I can consolidate my two phones to one. I currently have Verizon and GoogleFi.
Will I be able to receive calls and text simultaneously on both numbers?

Yes.
Only one number controls data.
I use Verizon and T-Mobile.
You need to chat/call with Verizon and have CDMA_Less added as a feature to the line since there is no CDMA on the 6T.
It works great for me.
On the international version, you can switch data back and forth at will (there is a tile to do that quickly) but if you prefer, you can even enable dual 4G networks for both sim cards!
Cheers!

my understanding is that your Google fi Sim will default to T-Mobile only if you use it in a OnePlus 6t. you will lose the network switching benefit to Sprint and US Cellular that you get on a Google fi approved phone. So, effectively you'll have T-Mobile service on one sim and Verizon on the other.
I have heard that if you use a Google pixel with Google fi and have it set up as an esim, you can use a secondary Verizon sim in the open SIM tray. That would mean you'd have the full benefits of Google fi service as well as Verizon. As noted below, only one sim at a time can control data. Long and short, you need a pixel phone to do this because the OnePlus 6t cannot fully utilize Google fi service.
Take everything I said above with a grain of salt because I do not have a pixel phone. I am however using a OnePlus 6t with T-Mobile and XFinity mobile. The problem with my setup is that Xfinity mobile only gives me calling. I cannot receive text or use mobile data with my Xfinity Sim. This may change later once Xfinity approves "bring your own Android phone" to the service.

If this works exactly as you said it would be perfect because I don't care if my Fi sim ever connects to data, in fact I would like it to never connect since I have unlimited with Verizon and Fi costs me $10 per GB.

Thanks for bringing up that point it is very likely important to someone but for me my current Fi phone is on TMobile 99% of them anyway because sprint has very little coverage in my area. US cellular is non existent for me as well.
I have a Pixel 2 Xl now for Verizon and I thought about getting a Pixel 3 when they came out. I spent about an hour on the phone with Google about this subject and unfortunately according to Google (and a few threads here on XDA) the Pixel will not allow you do have both Esim and Sim active at the same time. So if I have my work number (Verizon) active, my old personal (Fi) will not receive calls or text and vice versa. You have to manually switch the service to use each.

I guess Gixel 3 allows using eSIM and normal SIM simultaneously with Android Q update. Bear in mind there's still a single radio so while call on one SIM is ongoing any calls on other SIM can't be known.
I have fi (tmo) and unreal (att) works perfect. Only thing is messages sometimes will fail to send. Using hangouts does fix it, only problem is that Android messages is a better app in general
works great on Tmo and ATT. using Google Messages, Google Dialer and data works fine. i have rooted converted TMo OP6t with dual sim tray. Tmo VoWifi/VoLTE works, but ATT only support VoLTE on OP6t.

Question while using Google messages. Do both of your phone numbers pop up everytime you try to type a message it's super annoying for me and the only reason I stopped using it..
Used to do that, but it stop doing it and just works. Not sure what i did. I forgot. sorry. Disabled the stock messages app and default to google messages.

I have ATT and picked up a Fi sim over the weekend. Took me a while to get it activated (had to pop it in my OP3T for it to actually work, the dual sim feature didn't play well with activation). ATT is primary and Fi is secondary for everything. I have dual 4g radios enabled but that only enables VOLTE for Fi, but the actual data is used through my primary sim (ATT). SMS messages were not received if hangouts was disabled for SMS and Fi was not set as the primary Sim for SMS. Aka SMS doesn't work unless you make Fi the primary SMS sim or use hangouts for SMS, which is fine but defeats the purpose of using the dual sim features in your default SMS app (tried this with both textra and google messages).
As someone else said already - android Q will bring dual sim dual standby to the pixel line.

If you flash the International ROM before then you will need to flash back to stock to unlock the SIM.

There is no guarantee that you can get an unlock.
So if you buy with the knowledge it may take 40-50 days for an unlock you can't be angry.

Yes, that's why I ended up getting it directly from oneplus.com website... Unlocked, no hassles, two sim cards.
I ordered ASAP via pre order and wanted to get the PHONE ASAP. Just got off the phone with Verizon Tier 1 and 2. Yes I know about the CDMA Less feature being added but since they did away with 3g thats no longer an option. My IMEI or this OP8 pro isn't on their approved list yet and it wont let them do anything else. I also tried to do this on my own verizon account and as soon as I put the IMEI# in it shows as not an eligible device. I am going to try and be patient as the phone so far ( NOT testing the camera yet) is buttery smooth. Anything else anybody can comment?

Did you see my 2nd post ? I tweeted one plus and Verizon contacted me and I was working with them on Twitter DM and the tech did this : refreshed the SMS over lte features and also mms over lte features they said.
yes i did exactly what dailycruz suggested. they refreshed my sms over LTE a bunch of times. I spent many hours today on the phone with Verizon last person I spoke to was from engineering and he told me that he could not enable cdma-less on my phone since it would not allow them to add a oneplus 8 Pro iemei into the system to activate. his suggestion was to activate a OnePlus 7 Pro (which i don't have) which is approved allowing them to enable CDMA-less option. then switch to OnePlus 8pro. I am super angry at this point.

Wow, this is a deal breaker for me. My work phone they can't enable CDMA-LESS on that line, they claim it's something about the type of business contract. So I'm having to carry my OP7P for my own, and another P3XL for work. When I saw that the OP8P supports Verizon's CDMA bands, I was like FINALLY I can carry one phone!!! (Once they activate the dual sim in the USA).
Do we know why this is NOT the case when we are being told otherwise? Anyone have any thoughts?
Surprisingly my OP8P worked just from sim swap. I am on a Verizon business account, account auto added

So I have an update finally. My buddy in Orlando sent me his OnePlus 7 Pro to When I put my Verizon sim card in, i had same exact issue as my new OnePlus 8Pro, no SMS messages. I called back the engineer at Verizon who suggested I try this to begin with, and he was able to enable CDMA-Less feature this time with the OnePlus 7 Pro and my sim, since its MEID showed up in Verizon's system properly. As soon as he enabled CDMA-Less i was able to receive SMS messages on the OnePlus 7 PRO. I then immediately pulled the sim from 7 Pro and put it back into my One Plus 8 PRO and surprise surprise SMS/MMS messages started coming down!! I have no clue why they cant enable it on the new OnePlus 8 PRO and my phone still does not show up properly on My Verizon Device page ( the One Plus 7 Pro showed up perfectly).
This is a crazy work around and neither OnePlus nor Verizon was really much help on getting this to work. Maybe a new Sim would of done the trick but without being able to go to a Verizon store at the moment, it was just another shot in the dark.
