I know it was done with the galaxy tab but wasn't sure for webOS. Could there be a change to enable a a phone service? And are all touchpads wifi only?

You can now pair any bluetooth phone (available fron v3.0.4 update i think)
You were able to change a wifi galaxy tab into a 3G tablet? Hmm. I never heard of that. I dont think there is a way to do that with the TouchPad. I believe it was made for wifi only so it doesn't have the parts inside to enable it to be 3G/4G. I think there were some 3G models made but they are rare since they were never released officially.
EDIT: I think I'm reading this wrong. lol

I'm a noob here so please be kind... Anyone know the settings on the Transformer to get bluetooth tethering working. I have a windows mobile HTC touch pro2 using wmwifirouter v1.25. I can pair the two devices but the Transformer never seems to connect. On the HTC, If I go to internet sharing...bluetooth pan...it says it cant connect to the transfomer's NAP network. wmwifirouter is always waiting for a connection.
Any ideas?
I've got the same problem (although using HTC HD2)
Just the same for me using an iPhone 3G
No DUN support for BT in Honeycomb.

I don't have any trouble tethering my iPhone 3GS using TetherMe (jailbreak).

not sure if it makes any difference but i'm using my jailbroken, iphone 3GS and no problem whatsoever. you just have to enable it on the settings, pair it and you're in. getting 1Mmbps on my work area so i'm very pleased.
I think it depends on the bluetooth program your using and how its doing its routing. I've had no problems using Wireless Tether on my original Droid. Just flip it over to Bluetooth mode since the transformer can't see the ad hoc.
But I've also tried PDAnet and a couple other non root needed bluetooth tehter programs and they didn't work.

Has anyone been able to tether with the LG G2x model? I haven't had luck bluetooth tethering to my TF with it, it pairs but thats about it
No option for tethering
You guys need to keep in mind that the carriers have been cracking down on tethering. On my Droid X there is a built in app called Datamanager or something similar, which makes it so I cannot tether my phone. Once I froze it with Titanium, I was able to bt tether my phone to the TF.
iPhone 4 BT tethered worked for me
Hi All,
I have the TF and tried BT tethering yesterday with a buddy. It works fine once you have it paired you have to go back in and connect to it in the BT Menu on the TF.
I haven't tried tethering with anything else yet.

The day I won't be able to tether my TF to my phone anymore I will regret having sold my XOOM 3G I guess I'll choose my next phone carefully then!
Has anyone managed to get one of these telechip tablets to connect to an adhoc wifi hotspot yet?
I have a sony erricson xperia x10 mini pro (rooted) which I use as a hotspot via barnacle. Works great with the laptop, but would like to use it with this tablet, unlimited data plan on my phone is much cheaper than the 3g dongle...
Been searching the forums but can' t seem to find anyone who has got it to work on one of these yet.
Same goes for the camera in skype, got the video calling to work but my camera won't record or transmitt anything no-one can see me LOL!
Got clockwork mod installed and can help testing stuff.

I have searched and I read most of the forum. I have an original T-mobile Tab and modified it to make phone calls and allow the use of a normal voice/data sim. I know the issue with changing to allow a voice/data sim is not totally legal so the directions are not posted here, but is it possible??
Also, I have the original tab set to make phone calls and data but it will only do Edge data, I have to reboot and switch drivers so I can have 3G access but then I loose voice.. Is there anyway I can have 3G (4G even better) and make phone calls with the new Tab Plus. I would love to replace my phone and just use one device. I am on bluetooth all day anyways..
If not, anyone know of a device that can?
I believe you should be able to with P-6200, pentaband. Makes calls better than original out of the box.
The one from t-mobile.com is 4G and all the ones I see online are only 3G. But if I could get 3G and voice I would be completely happy.!!
But no contract price on the 4G model from T-mobile is only $499, which is cheaper than I am finding any of the other models which are 3G. But if T-mobile got there own modem which is why it has 4G then I am guessing it will not make calls for sure..
All these stinking options.. I will sell my HTC View, Tab, Galaxy S2, and Touchpad if I could get 1 device to do it all.. Would keep the Prime though, still has that new car smell..
tmobile verson will not make calls .. ever. this has been discussed numerous times already in this section. your options are p-6200 thats it.
What about the 7.7 model?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
yes there is find the 7.7 thread in this general section, there's a link to unlocked 7.7 w/3g and advertised as voice support in Australia I think.
So after reading what feels like 100 different threads it seems that there is no 7 plus or 7.7 that does 3g on Tmobile at all, even it does do voice calls... My original tab will at least does 3g or edge/voice... I will keep looking...

Does the galaxy tab plus wifi model (GT-P6210) have GSM capability?
I've been searching/reading for the last few hours, but I haven't found a definitive product manual/spec sheet that answers my question... a lot of the spec sheets online have conflicting info.
basically, i'd like to get a tab+, and run it as a wifi tablet around the house, but also be able to run it through the tmobile voice plan as a cell phone (NOT DATA PLAN) after rooting/installed sim card. samsungs website only lists GSM band support for the GT-P6200 model, so i wasn't sure if the antenna was in the wifi only model (GT-P6210) and disabled, or absent completely.
sorry for being a noob about the devices' capability. i have genuinely searched around this forum and dealers websites but would appreciate confirmation from somebody that has actually done this (or something similar)
thx
No. It does not. That's why it is called wifi only...

thanks, thats what i initially assumed, but some tmobile tech support was trying to convince me otherwise and i didnt want to drop money for one without confirmation.
It has no cellular hardware. You can set up a pbx if you want to make calls over wifi, but that's about it. I just tether it to my phone over wifi

Has anyone been able to get this to work as a phone? I got the original tab to do it but you had to change the modem to 2g mode and that made the internet worthless. Wondering if we can get it to work on 3G with phone.
What model is your tab?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I use mine as the phone in some cases and I don't have to change the modem to 2g. I have a p6200 version with stock ics and it works great without changing anything

I'm guessing the op has either got a wifi only model, or a data only sim inserted, I can't imagine any other reason why he would have difficulties using the calling feature
