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 all .. I recently purchased a used evo shift and finally got it flashed and working on my sprint account. I keep getting an error 67 registration failure user name and password may not match.
Now let me tell everyone that I do not currently have a data plan... Only voice and text.
So is this error just from the phone trying to log into the sprint data network which I am not a member of? I assume that is the issue. If not please let me know.
If that is the issue is there a way I can disable the phone from searching for the data network. I have no need to have data as im pretty much surronded by wifi.
thanks
Never mind guys I got it fixed.. All I had to do was turn off the mobile network. LOL
Thanks
hey howed u get the evo to workwithout data. Please tell me how
This happened to me the other day.
Even with my rooted phone, I decided to call Sprint. What they told me to do was update my profile so it could be registered with the network. If it happens again, just do that and you should be fine
you have an evo shift with no data plan? can you say exactly what plan and how you activated the phone? I'm looking to do the same thing.
Hey, my brother lost his galaxy s3... literally the day I told him about Cerebrus (and he put off installing it..... the noob).
anyways, tried Plan B, that didnt work because I think the phone is dead. I just wanted to know if the SIM is removed from the phone, will it still have any sort of service from verizon? Will the google account associated wtih the account stay active on wifi assuming phone isn't wiped ??
I'm trying to reactivate the phone every few days and maybe I'll get lucky. He's also a noob because he wanted iphone anyway but got GS3 before unlimited data ended so we didnt lose it (plus have talk n text 20 dollar discount per data line... yes a bill under 200 for unlimted texting and LTE four smartphones is a heck of a deal we didnt want to lose).
Was he drunk when he lost it?
That phone is long gone.

Has nothing to do with what the Op is asking.
Well the person wont be able to activate it through verizon, but I'm not sure about the whole google accounts thing. You should take your sim card out and test it on wifi and see if you can access your google acount without the sim card through wi-fi.
Edit: I just tested on mine and as soon as I turned my phone on my Avast started kicking in locking my phone and sounding the alarm saying the phone has been lost or stolen. I turned that off and tried going into my gmail and unfortunately I was able to still access it. I didn't check to see if I could still buy apps.
Google account will stay active.
Just log into google and change your password that will stop the phone from syncing.
Ok ive had this phone for a few years already n luv it. I had it on the 45$ plan with cricket wen i got it flashed and worked flawlessly up until i cracked my lcd n used an original cricket phone (which had to switch my plan up to 50$ android plan). Long story short, after i fixed my galaxy i switched phones n called cust serv to downgrade my plan back to the 45$ plan. Ok everything worked fine the first day. Next day my 3g went away n nothing worked except calls n basic texting. So i was told i had to upgrade to the 50$ plan in order to work so i did. It still wont work. I took it to get reflashed n they couldnt get it to work. I played around with the hidden settings n got the 3g symbol to show up but nothing needing data network wont work please someone help

Have you changes your modem while flashing?
(Shouldn't ask as it obvious but stil ) Have you tried factory resetting and clearing up your caches?
Ok. Here is the very fustrating problem. Got my cellphone flashed to cricket at a local store. Data was working fine until I changed my number. Now talk and text work but no data. I did a search on here and a guy said its because my old number information is still in my phone. The thing is I dont know how to update it to put my new number in? I am in desperate need of help because I use Google Maps at work but I cant now because of the no data thing. Went backed to the store that flashed my phone and they said it has to be reflashed again even though talk and text work.
Again. I am in desperate need to fix my phone and cant afford the $55 bucks they want to reflash my phone. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU HELP!!!!!!
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section
Do you mean you don't have any of your apn settings??
