Just spoke with the tech support department at tmobile... They say the tab will do voice but it has had the software removed from the build... Can someone please pull the phone apk and the phone utility apk from a euro build so we can test it on wednesday when it comes out. Hopefully this will solve the issue of no voice. He also confirmed it has all for gsm radios onboard and will work with the standard android data plan... Heres hoping...

Hells yeah!
XDA GO GO GO GO GO GO !!
Just came back from demoing the Tab at my local tmobile store. It does use a standard sim. However the update is this: in the apps management screen, it seems that the only thing missing is the actual phone apk. The phone utility apk is there and the contacts apk is there. It looks like we just need the phone apk and then possibly the contacts merge apk to get voice enabled. Anyhow, the phone is being released at 11am pst tomorrow in my town, mine is on reserve so I will have it by 11:05am pst. anyone who wants to guide me into activating voice on this baby, send me a message and i will be happy to assist with trying some methods out.
I will need to try the following apk's from the euro version:
phone.apk
contactsmerge.apk
oh, the local reps looked on the computer and said that this device WILL require a webconnect data plan, not the unlimited android. There is a work around though... with voice enabled, you can call tmobile and ask for a tech support supervisor, open a trouble ticket and request an engineer to change your device ip range to that of a smartphone... then data and voice should work together. I had this problem on my aws version of the dell streak and it fixed it using unlimited voice and unlimited android data plans.

i would appreciate any help you can give me. i tried pushing a modified phone.apk that was on this forum but with no success. i put my nexus sim card in there and when i launched my browser i was able to go to google.com and do a websearch. but when i clicked on a link i was sent to a tmobile site with a 404 error. not the same error that you get when u try to use a $10 data plan on a mytouch (it says u need to upgrade ur plan). it was an actual 404. but i am actually using the $10 data plan on my nexus, but since i was able to go to google.com i think theres away around this.

Why don't you just flash it with the EURO firmware??

Is it known for sure that the hardware is identical? If not, I'd say that might be a good reason. This could lead to reversed buttons, inability to get into hardware, recovery mode, etc. Also, the system dates would likely display backwards from from the US does it too. Just my 2 cents.
It seem a much better idea to just pull what you want from a system dump of the euro firmware.
can someone please post these apk so we the U.S can work on calls thank you
I second that request... the guy I was working with yesterday and I were stopped at loading the phone apk as well...
Does anyone know if anyone else (anywhere) is working on a fix? I've googled and googled with not much success.
jdmadonna... all of the Euro firmwares are posted on samfirmware.com ... have you checked there?
I loaded the phone.apk onto the tab after rooting it with z4root. Then using root explorer. It loaded fine... but then a really wierd thing happened. The tab vibrated every couple of seconds and kept showing the message : android.phone has stopped working. This kept happening over and over. Finally I turned off the tab, and rebooted... that's when all hell broke loose... lost the network provider and lost the whole baseband on the tab. Nothing would bring it back... bricked the tab. I took it back today, will wait for more to come in stock and for a REAL developer to figure out how to bypass this problem... sorry guys, I tried... and it killed the tab!!

Sorry you bricked your tab :|.
I wished you would have tried to flash the Euro firmware before taking it back to see what happens as it was already bricked.
If the euro firmwares are flashable on the T-mobile model, voice should work just fine.
Geez jdmadonna.... WHAT a drag... I admire you trying...
I'm hoping some developer somewhere is working on this...
I made the decision today that I'm just not going to pay ~$1000 for the Euro Tab in order to get a phone... I love the tab.... but $599 tmo off-contract is all I can justify... I can afford more, but will not spend more.
So... if we can't get the t-mo working with phone... it's going back...
effing greedy US carriers who didn't want to "cut into their smartphone sales"...
thx again for trying... will they replace it?
btw... was that the Euro version phone.apk?

You didn't brick your galaxy tab. All you had to do is push the original files back. I pushed a modified phone.apk and got constant crashes. I made a backup of the original, you should always make a backup.
Hey guys I was just reviewing my outgoing text messages and saw an out going message to this following
TO: 1505
Message:
DCB_ASSOCIATION: <appears to be an md5 checksum>
I am on TMOBILE USA
I did a google search and it looks like another n5 user, on tmobile, posted this the other day as well.
I had my buddy, who is on his n4 look and he did not see this.
I am ASSUMING this is calling back to TMOBILE for possibly a phone description? I am not sure though.
Anyone else?

I got this today right after I sweet up carrier billing in the play store. Also on T-Mobile and Nexus 5.
This just happened on my Nexus 4 with 4.4 from the Google factory image. I'm on T-Mobile and used carrier billing to buy a app too.
Carrier billing verification - on Sprint. It's not just a T-mobile thing.

So I was able to confirm that this is a text message sent via your Carrier to confirm that you would like to charge an App (or Play Service) to your Phone Bill.

CAREFUL!!!l...perhaps someone might consider publicizing this information. To protect others?.
I pasted the url in my browser ... I found myself on Verizon. The responses were the same. Is it some sorry of security breach? Does anyone know?
I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Especially because I left this afternoon. It's now late night and everybody is still talking about the same thing.
I got it on a t mobile phone after downloading and installing modded play store after trying a purchase using t mobile billing. The sale failed, but I still got the message. I know lp isn't a great subject to bring up here, but the purpose of this isn't to steal software, it's to identify a problem.
Yes, I also have T-Mobile and saw that on my phone. Seems the msg was sent while I was asleep.
Yes
I recived message like this: DCB_ASSOCIATION:Wu7ef0Cnmkf8dTFzHfxKxAFU. And i wqnt to know what it mean . BTW my operator is O2-SK

I got this out going text on my galaxy s3 note.
Does any one know wat it means or why my phone is auto texting by itself?
Did you set up a payment method on Google Play with your mobile operator?

I just looked this up as I had the same outgoing text. It is a SMS sent to your carrier when you set up and possibly every time you make a carrier billing purchase. Nothing to be scared of.
Posted with the official XDA Developers app for Android.
My phone sent an sms to 9210 that read: DCB_ASSOCIATION: followed by 24 random upper and lower case letters. This was right after I authorized google play to bill my carrier for purchases. It was an automated text to Sprint confirming carrier billing authorization.
Confirming that I got this from Google play store, going to AT&T, but for a 0$ item. Really don't understand why i have to provide it for a 0$ eBook. But...meh... It's not malicious afaik.
I just got this tex an i think its a phone tap or phone tracking ive sent simaler things to people in the parst
It's a message from T-Mobile when they get a request from Google play to add T-Mobile as a billing option. The first part "DCB_ASSOCIATION:" tells you that it was to make an association with your phone account.
Its because you have T-Mobile and you used your T-Mobile account as a payment option. They text your phone to verify...Its just a dcm from T-Mobile...the code received possibly means if it were excepted(regular account).. Or didn't (prepaid..pay as you go)
Has anyone had this error message with their Z3? I have searched the web, and all that I can find is that Tmo needs to send an update to the phone to fix. Called customer service, waited for the update, restarted phone, and nothing. They then said to switch out the SIM card, and that did nothing either. Any others?
Yup, the same exact problem, they sent a sim update, new sim card, hell I even had them send me a new phone. Same thing. E911 is also set up correctly, lol they know where to send the bill. My daughters all have the one touch fierce and their WiFi calling works perfectly. My wife's m8 also works fine. What's the freaking problem.
I had that for a day and it dissapeared, my dad's M8 had it too and it went away somehow in a day or two.
This has been going on for 2 weeks now and no one seems to have an answer
I guess mine was slightly different.
Apparently TMO has to send you an OTA update. Also make sure its enabled in services in your MyTmobile account under services if not just tick the box and enable it.

I bought my mother-in-law this same phone (as I already have the D6616). Her phone had the same problem as you. Took me awhile to figure what happened, but like others have said, you need to contact T-Mobile and give them the error code. (I did this over T-Mobile chat) They in turn will push out a quick OTA update (can take up to two hours). Bad thing is I never received notification that it had updated, and I even asked the T-Mobile rep if I will see the update, and she stated yes. So, after two hours, and you still don't see the update, go ahead and restart your device. Once it reboots, your wifi calling feature will be updated and will then work. Oh, MAKE SURE YOUR WIFI IS TURNED OFF and WIFI CALLING IS TURNED OFF AS WELL! Your device will not update if you are not on the T-Mobile cellular network (as needed to push out the OTA). Be sure to turn on wifi calling once phone restarts and then you’re free to also turn on wifi.
Wifi calling error code reg90
U need to setup "e911" information with your service provider.
It's an H950 from the $250 ebay deal. I am on ATT service and the phone worked fine at H95010d
I contacted ATT customer service and had them pushed OTA software update to me. The first agent pushed H95011x to me, and things went wrong since then.
The phone cannot read the sim card (but no missing sim notice), baseband shown as unknown, if I press the "status" under the "about phone" page, the screen will flash black then go back to the about phone page.
Then I tried a factory reset. The phone started normal as if everything was fine, it just works on the first boot after the reset. But once I restart the phone, it went back to the same situation as above. I tried many times and the whole process is highly repeatable.
After that, I contacted ATT again, had the H95011z pushed to me, and it did not change the problem. Replacing sim card does not help, either.
Then I tried to get to those recovery methods on the forum, including installing the LGE mobile device drivers. But then under download mode, the phone (LGE Android MTP device) is shown as "this device cannot start (code 10)". Thus I was not able to perform fix with the tools.
I am kinds of stuck in the middle. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am having exactly the same problem. I also replaced the SIM card, but instead of trying the 11z version I tried the rooted 11x version without any change.
As you wrote, a factory reset will restore the ability to make calls until the first reboot. For data, there is no APN listed. Manually inputing the APN info will cause data to work perfectly, but all APN data is lost/missing again on reboot.

I've sent the phone back for an exchange, and the new one is coming tomorrow. Just noticed your reply.
So there is no fix for this? Or is there a problem with the ATT OTA update we should be aware of?

This may not be a widespread issue, so there might've been an issue particularly with your Flex (maybe corrupt file?). I've used 11x/z without encountering this.

Feels nervous when finding others had the same issue.
Just want to make sure if there's anything i should know of before dealing with the new unit coming tomorrow.
quick report:
Received the exchange. Seems new as the last one but does not contain the ATT sim as the last one did.
Tried update with date changing, for like 20 times no luck. Chatted ATT service to push the two updates (11x and 11z) in, one after another. Gone through the process without problem, and seems working fine now.
So, it may be device dependent or case specific. Thank you for your input.
I also had to send mine back. It's sitting on my front step now. The strange thing is that the email telling me the phone was being sent back only listed a speaker problem, which I did not have and never mentioned. We'll see.

Are you an AT&T customer? I can not get the update to come OTA, whether with an ATT valid SIM or a different SIM. I also tried calling and because I have a business ATT line, I got business support and the lady was clueless about pushing the update to my phone from her end.

What time of day are you calling? I found calling during east coast business hours got me the right people. Ask the agent if they can do a google search from their computer, when/if they say yes ask them to search for H95011x or H95011z. The first or second result should be the AT&T page that explains the update, once my rep had that info things went MUCH better. (I just noticed for me the first result is my post on this forum LOL)
I got my Flex 2 back and LG did nothing to fix it. The repair said "fixed speaker". I never said anything about a speaker. After a couple frustrated calls I had to send it a second time. The second time, it was returned "no problem found". The phone is unusable as it can only be used after a reset and before a reboot or power off. More fun with LG later today. Ultimately, though, the reps don't give a crap; I couldn't even get the last rep to increase shipping speed, even though they failed to repair it the first time.
Finally, the Canadians axon mini owners are having a security OTA update . Security update now at February 5 2018 but we're still on 6.0.1 , B2017G_Bell V1.0.0B08. No joy for 7.0.1 but at least it's more secured. For the low price that I've paid for it, I can't complain ( $110 Canadian $ , about $90 US) :good:
I have an idea, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm going to replace the updater-script in the US firmware zip file with a modified one to force it to flash. Has anyone tried this yet?

Hahaha unfortunately it did not work. Buttttttt, I found a potential way to at least root and maybe (would need dev help for this one) even unlock the bootloader when I was fooling around. I'm messing around with it currently.
I've learned to just deal with it. Phone is super reliable.
This is why I will NEVER buy or connect with Bell .They really don't care at all about their customers .
Hi !
Try to OTA update b2017g_bellv1.0.0b08 a couples of times (past 2 weeks) and i always get :
Please check your network connection
After that polite request to check, my network connection is ok. Does this means the end of updates for the mini with Ma Bell (Not that my hopes were high on that) or something else ...
I'm in Canada, but I have the US version of this phone. Lately, when I check for updates I get "Network unavailable" when I'm on WiFi (I don't have mobile data). I think the message is referring to the ZTE network, not the local network. I was able to update to nougat back in February. I think the problem is with ZTE not Bell. Are people in the US getting the same message?

I am also getting Network unavailable, on the same build of a Canadian Axon Mini, the phone is worthless junk, crashes on calls, when it does manage to make a call you cant hang up, cant answer calls, app crashes and goes black screen tried 4 different dialers,, cant add an attachment it says added and just disappears, have more than one app open it crashes,keyboard freezes ive tried 6 different keyboards, if i try to dial my home number in contacts, it calls my voicemail, if i try and dial a pin number say for voicemail or online banking, I get one continuous tone not 4 so it says pin it incorrect, done 5 factory reset, ZTE are useless and dont want to know, The phone is the worst ever, its going under the front wheels of an F150, never again will I get a ZTE
