SGH-T869 (T-Mobile Tab 7+) - PHONE???

OKAY... - My Galaxy Tab 7.0+ from T-Mobile is now SIM Unlocked for any GSM carrier.
Whether I use my AT&T OR T-Mobile SIM card gives me the same results:
Outgoing Calls: - Immediately END
Incoming Calls: - NON-Existent ... The call from another phone provides a fast busy signal
In/Out SMS - WORKS CORRECTLY
4G DATA - WORKS CORRECTLY
Does anyone have any idea if there is another PIT file that can be flashed through ODIN to get the Phone portion of the radio working?
Thanks!

Hi did you get any luck making and receiving call plz provide me infohow to do it

From what I understand nobody ever got the TMo Galaxy Tab plus to work as a cell / voice. This is because it's missing some physical hardware... so it's unlikely you/anybody will have any success with that.

Problem with Skyrocket in india

Hi,
I have a galaxy skyrocket i727 from AT&T with last Gingerbread firmware(2.3.6 from at&t).Now i am in india.Recently i did a factory reset and now i have lost data connectivity(though i get full signal and can do calls or messages).
Even before i used to select frequency bands manually to swap between 2g-3g by dialling *#*#197328640#*#* and i used to get data fine.As there is no such option of selecting 'gsm only' or "wcdma preffered/gsm" in wireless&networks menu of the AT&T Firmware.
So the main question is if i put the unofficial ICS ROM like AOKP or UCALC4 than will i get this 2G to 3G selection in settings?Will the phone select indian frequency bands automatically?
thanks!

You may have lost your apn and that's why you can't get data, check under settings mobile network apn if there is anything there(I think that's how it goes in GB) if there isn't check your provider's site or call them and ask how you should configure it.
About your second question, it depends on what rom you will flash, some support it and some don't.

Thanks for replying!
My APN is ok.I requested new apn after deleting older ones and even did a manual "Add new apn" perfectly.Thats why i am asking this question ,because there is no reason for getting "no data".Everything is perfect except that there is no "E" or "H" symbol with up-down arrows beside the network strength bars!

Stupid question but did you enable data?

yeah dude!Obviously!
enabled - disabled it several times!rebooted after selecting apn etc etc But no good

Well sometimes we ignore the obvious so I had to ask. Check your apn again to be sure, make sure the internet apn and not mms apn is checked if you have 2, and it's defined as internet or internet+mms in case of one combined apn.
If this wont fix it something must have happened in the factory reset and you should try upgrading to ICS and see if it still works.

Hey.. BTW I have a question for you , how did you unlock your phone yo use it in India ? I know there are unlock codes, just curious if you got it from at&t or you had to go the eBay way ?

unlocked via z3x box....a tool used by unlockers.Had a friend of mine who owned it.It unlocks all samsungs for free!!

- You need to be SIM Unlocked and have a RAT Unlocked Radio (HINT: Roger I-727R radios)
and
- You need a ROM to support those, if you using TouchWiz I have supported this always from the beg. im my
ROM (see my sig.)
And I do travel there once a quarter, no issues for me. I have an IDEA Card and it works perfect, even ROAMING to 3G where IDEA piggy backs on other providers..

when i initially read your name ,i guessed you were indian!
Thanks for the reply.I just flashed the sk8erwitskil,s Latest Cyanogenmod 9 with UCLF6 libs just to check if i was able to switch radios,but right now i am in "2G/gsm only" area.Data is working fine,but cannot turn on wifi...it keeps saying "turning on".
My phone is sure sim-unlocked on idea network,and on UCLF6 Modem(is this thing same as a "radio"?).Initially i was on stock at&t GB firmware.Btw ,which place in india do u travel?
If wifi error persists i will flash EMBRYO Rom

getting signal with now sim card installed ?

as the title says , am getting a network signal in the status bar with no sim card installed in the device , where it used to show a stop or block sign before when there is no sim installed , don't know when it started but i have noticed it a week ago , and am on the 5.1.1 update ,
what i have tried so far :
1 - reset the device from the setting .
2 - reset the device with samsung smart switch for windows ( which download the latest firmware for the device & install it ) .
3 - installed the factory firmware with odin , and got the device to axiom telecom which is my warranty service provider , and the told me the have changed the whole motherboard , & after telling them the issue is still there , they showed me another s6 with no sim and there is signal and told me that this behavior is normal ( which i don't think so ) .
4 - contacted samsung directly by phone & email , and they told me to reset the device or send it to service ( which i already did ) .
so , is this behavior really normal ? are any of you guys getting this ?
my device : SM-G920F
country : Saudi Arabia

no its not normal
if you type *#06# you gonna find IMEI become 3500000000006/01
if it is then you cant make calls or send sms ( not registered on network )
its the same problem like me i don't know where this come from but we need some one to give us backup the EFS folder. to restore it back to the phone SM-G920F
please if some one can help us thank you

no , it seem we are having different problems ,
*#06# reveals normal IMEI ,
and i can make & receive phone calls & sms if i install a sim card ,
try resetting yours to stock ,
other than showing a signal with no sim card installed the phone is fine & doesn't have any problems .

Speculation- you'd need emergency service call? I would assume that it's allowed to connect to network for that and not have phone disabled?
More speculation- your being spied on...
-Spy
It's only a display icon. You aren't able to still make a regular call without the sim? If it ain't broke don't fix it.
But to ease your mind just check the network status in your settings. Should say what connected to.
Surely it does have to do with the update itself if your phone still functions as normal.
I'm sure there is a network status with the super secret spy codes that you enter on your dial pad. You know the #secretrandomnumber#* codes...

it could be there for emergency calls ,
in terms of being spied on , ha ha ,i don't think so , the service center changed the entire motherboard which include the eMMC with it's whole partitions .
the sim card status in the settings says Not Available for everything , and yes i can't make calls nor sms without the sim ,
but you still didn't answer my question : do you get this when you remove your sim ?

no one with a similar problem ??

I've seen it on lots of Samsung phones. It's simply a signal for emergency calls. You have to be able to make emergency calls with or without a Sim and that's telling you how much signal you have.
Seriously people this is pretty simple and no conspiracy.
You only get a circle with a line through if you have a sim card installed that is blocked from the network or the phone is stolen / blocked etc.

good to hear ,
what made me think it isn't ordinary thing is that the service center didn't know about it & thought it was a problem ,
thanks a lot .

This was done on last update Samsung gods thought we needed to know how much of a signal we had for emergency calls

Having the same problem with my samsung galaxy s6 SM-920F. showing bars on the signals even without sim. not connecting to network operator as well. showing Disconnected status in SIM status from About.
Tried updating the software even downgrading, factory reset and wiping cache but nothing worked.

Found this thread when looking for an answer to this question. In my case, it is a tablet that hasn't even got a sim option but still has the mobile network signal showing, even when airplane mode is switched on. Just worry it is eating some of my battery life. Any ideas?

I am also getting same problem.
There is no sim card inserted in my phone but still it shows the network bars.. Your And my problem is same.

There, an actual answer. Guess I should add it here since I wondered the same thing
a sim card has nothing to do with the transceiver system of the phone. its literally a "passkey" it is your authentication to USE that network. ie you can always SEE the network you just not allowed to "use it" without permission hence the simcard.

Hi
Did you upgrade the bootloader and modem as they recommend?
Also check your APN and see if they are correct , check with your carrier they will provide the information , in most cases if you delete them and re start the phone the carrier will send the information automatically

Hi
not sure what you mean , normally your carrier will send that information automatically , if you place a new sim the sim´s carrier will send that information.
Go settings / mobile networks / Access Points Names there you you can see what you have ask your carrier for the correct information and review them or just reset them and reboot , here is resend automatically and configure by itself
What network mode you have selected?

If i am not mistaken the SMS service uses the GSM (2G) band , try and enable that band to see if it works

Ok thankz

With stock firmware, I can receive SMS sent via email. I have tried a few S7 flat custom ROMS and all prevent me from receiving SMS sent by email.
This seems to be the case also when I was still using S6. So what is it with custom ROMS that prevents receiving SMS via email?
Thanks

did you ever figure out what the issue was not receiving texts?

I never did. I just eventually found a custom ROM that did not have that issue. Forgot which one.
I am now on S8 snap dragon. If you still using S7 exynos, you might want to try Black Diamond by @Kill-Switch.

id be willing to wager that it was the APN. Many custom ROMs build in the APNs to make their ROM foolproof. Dollars to doughnuts its the APN

Is there a way to override the rom's apn? Tello (Sprint MVNO) automatically configures the network settings and doesn't allow to adjust and when I used a RedPocket GSMA (ATT MVNO) sim card, I was able to insert their apn info but still was not able to receive sms text messages.
As a workaround, I am using my Google Voice number forwarded to the phone and all texts are received as long as I have wifi or data connection. Not perfect but it's better than nothing.
BTW, I am working on an LG X Charge SP320 but posted here because of a google search and relevance to the issue in general.
Thanks for the insights and any suggestions.

I've get Signal but Emergency calls Only

Hello, so recently I bought a second samsung galaxy s7 (G930FD made in indonesia) I'm livin indonesia too. So, I have some problems. When i got the phone it had android 6.0. Everything worked fine, the sim, ussd codes, 3G internet. But status Phone is Custom, i can't upgrade via OTA and i trying upgrade via Odin
After that, i`ve upgraded to android 7.0 via Odin. I downloaded an official android for verizon s7 number PDA G930FXXS2DRAB, Now, with android 7.0, I've signal and strength but emergency call only, i can`t call any USSD codes (for example *200# that is the code for checking my sim balance). It just shows that it calls the ussd code and then says that the number is incorrect. Also, i can`t connect to the internet. I tried to find the Acces Point Names, but they are nowhere (like this function was deleted).
Also, in my settings app, i have 2 unknown options. T roaming and Service provider Giga LTE, KT twophone service and whenether i enter them, my settings app just crashes and it wants to restart it.
Please help me!

Have you tried connecting using 2G only if you can get to a place that sets the network? I had similar on my S4 and if I used dialer codes to force 2G it would connect, allow calls and allow EDGE data. I never resolved the issue but the best I could find out was the EFS/modem was corrupted or incorrect so it can't communicate on 4g.
This also happened after a 6.0.1 to 7.1.2 upgrade though I'm not sure it's the same as I don't think the S4 supported Nougat officially. I gave up when I went to a local phone shop who were apparently an authorised Samsung service centre but didn't have the tools to repair/replace the EFS (or anything else so it seemed).
