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.
ok so im dumping my line n taking over one of my wifes lines she had a mytouch 4g and we let r kid use it it had no data so tmobile sd they activated n put the unlimited data plan on the sim card so when i go to put in my g2x everything comes up but i cant sign into the market it gives me an error i tryed a factory rest twice i changed my gmail password n nothin tmobile couldnt even resolve the issue anyone have any idea y i cant sign into my account? its weird to cuz it says 4g on phone so i have data
what's the error message that you get when tying to log in?
there was a network please try to sign in again retry now or press back to cancel n then when i factory reset and put in my gmail n password it sd it couldnt establish a data connection but i have 4g lol idk clueless n tmobile sd there gona send it higher up n i should be getting a call

I would say get a new SIM. There seemed to be a thought floating around the forums that the older SIMs weren't provisioned correctly to accommodate the higher data speeds so they don't know what to do and skitz. First though, I would let it sit for about 5 minutes before trying to do the setup process.
dude hiko i tryed everything n this simcard is new she got it with the mytouch 4g a mnth ago n these phones operate the same as far as the android process im sure rite??? i mean it aint like im sticking it in a gravity lol idk anyways i tryed new roms i waited tryed it on wifi changed my google passworrd ! nada all tmobile says is r engineers have to look at this and push the data thru we will send ur ticket up sorry sir we will contact u in 3 days.......... baaahhhh bull**** idksomething aint rite cuz i can text n call n have 4g signal n they also sd they sent the signal while the sim was out of phone hows that possible
Are you sure you have connection? Have you used the browser on the phone?
If so then,
- Have you used the Google 2-step verification security settings? (Google Authenticator app). If not sure check in your google personal settings.
if not then,
- Open a new google account and try to sign in.
its weird it says 4g can make calls n text n when i do browser it says 1.99 per mb web 2 go so that means i dont have data? idk very frustrating n i tryed a new acct it says cant establish a reliable data connection......getting angry
but can you use the browser without any problem?
to me it looks like the problem is at T-mobiles side.
well it says i can for 199 a mb lol i remember that when u didnt have a data plan i tried facebook on another note n it just hung there didnt load do i have to put my other sim in and factory reset? i tryed that idk cant u have more then 1 acct on a phone anyways? im thinking cuz my old acct still on there it wont let me log back in
sooo i just talked to tmobile n they sd everybody that added data or got a new phone with a data plan within the past few days since the 20th had this issue but they just found out lastnight that it was affecting a bunch of people its called a delayed provision n data isnt pushing thru n there engineers are aware of it and that its not a sim or phone thing n it will be resolved soon.............lol so what do u guys think???
Have you tried it over Wifi?
.....
yes i did n then waited an hour came off wifi n no go
haha i fixed it i went into wireless settings n hit search networks n picked tmobile umts n now i can log into my acct dam im good
Sweet. Good to hear you got this resolved. I was out of ideas after a sim haha. Didn't even think to try the other network.
been searching for 10+ hours and no luck or solution.
i was on gummycharged ep1f/ep1h rom and everything was working fine until today.
i don't know what triggered it, but my phone just restarted and then lost all signal.
after searching and looking at phone info, i found first line under baseband version shows "unknown".
tried flashing to every possible roms out there using odin and it would not bring the phone back to life.
funny thing is i have no problem w/ 4glte service, which allows me to surf and download but no voice service.....
do i have no choice but to go to verizon for replacement phone?
thank you.

yeah I'd take it into them, sounds like some hardware got fried.. however I'd probably try to flash a froyo rom for whatever good it'd do, if they somehow can check baseband and it shows GB your warranty is void and they will not fix or replace it
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
found this over in the Galaxy s 9000 forum (wc8 posted it)
Mine now works fine
so what was the cause - still no idea
so what did help - rebooting the phone couple of times without the sim inside
heads up !
worth a try and not my fault if something blows up...
Begin minor rant:
Isnt it sad that we (everyone including devs and XDA as well as casual helpers like me) have to put that final line in there so they dont get blamed/flamed if things get f'd up?

Had the same problem with my Fascinate. After a flash I lost all 3G and phone capabilities. What I did was reset my phone line with the esn of an old phone I had lying around. Go to this thread. It will show you what you need to do.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543. I took mine to Verizon, and also spent hours with tech support and, to no avail. This esn swap did the trick. Good luck.
did the stuff you were flashing include the radios? like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182
or this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
yes, all the roms i flashed had full radio from ED1, ED2, EE4, EP1F
none worked....
i'll try to search and see if esn method works that someone mentioned above.
keeping my fingers crossed....
currently, phone is @ stock ee4 unrooted w/ no baseband for cdma radio.
if anyone else is having same problem, do not run esn swap!!!
it will cancel your unlimited data and there is no way to bring it back.
thank god i read it before i tried it....
phone still no go with unknown baseband.....
HELP?!?!? PLEASE?

i called Verizon and had them do it over the phone. In other words, they moved my line to a dummy ESN on their end and some random number to my phone and then switched it right back, all while my phone was off, so when my phone was turned back on it got re provisioned on their network, which fixed my 3G data issues......but i dont think this is the OP's solution. When i had that problem I had phone service, just intermittent or no 3g data is all

You won't lose your unlimited data unless you switch to an ESN that is not a smartphone. I have switched my line a couple times and still have unlimited.

well if you are stock ee4 unrooted I think you are golden. Take your phone to verizon and have them deal with it.

I am not sure abotu this (not saying it is wrong but I never tried) I say take the 20 minutes on the phone with VZW and let them do it...
UPDATE
took it to verizon store twice, got sim cards replaced twice at two different locations.
still no go, rep recommended me to contact replacement center.
talk to tech for and hour trying to figure it out,
the tech announced that my cdma radio is fried.....
so i asked when i'll get the replacement and he said sometime on tuesday.
and i asked if i could use my really old LG non-smart phone for time being and he said i'll loose my unlimited data and moved to 2gb tiered data plan...
so i guess i'll be out of service until tuesday....

Hey I believe ya, I am just in the better safe than sorry frame of mind when it comes to the unlimited data structure. It does make sense though since i did switch from the fascinate to the charge without losing it
they told me this will only work if you went from smart phone to another smart phone.
however, if you went to non smart phone and then smart phone, you'd lose your unlimited plan.
I'm surprised this couldn't be fixed with a software flash. I came from a Samsung Epic and this was a regular occurrence on at least one of the Gingerbread leaks. Happened to me at least once - used ODIN and reflashed the whole shebang (full TAR with modem) and got it back up and running.
i wish there was an easy fix like you said.
then i don't have to wait for them to send me replacement device and also saves me from hassle of reapplying invisible shield. the maximum protection kit is pain in the ass to apply.
i've flashed with every single rom+radio out there in many different order with both odin 1.3/1.7/1.8 and samsung pstlite.
i've also tried flashing radio only and still no luck.
so i noticed when i turned of the wifi mobile network was not coming on and it says disconnected. iv tried rebooting, airplane mode, many times over and also did factory data reset. and still no network data.... :crying:
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it last night, this morining i deleted most of tmobiles bloatware. the phone was working fine tell just a wile ago.
are you with t-mobile US? It could be a problem on their side. My One S and Nexus 1 both lost mobile data connection about a few hours ago.
yep tmobile, dange. im freeking out here. lol.

yeah I'm about to call them. Usually good for some extra minutes
never mind, my friend just got off the phone, with T-mobile CS, he's number 1345 on the list to be called back. LOL
Woop!!.....i got 2G........ITS ALIVE.......!!!!!!...
that was the strangest thing, i tried to call T-mobile and there customer service numbers dident work ether, just got beep. they should give me free stuff for freaking me out and making me think that I done brokend my Sweet sweet Hso.
Same here...6PM to about 7:30 PST...weird thing is the wife's G2 still had connection and the restore of service correlated with my restoring of a nandroid, so I'm not sure if it's the network or some crap app I installed ( still leaning towards the app).
It's a nationwide outage
http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/2/3133983/t-mobile-suffering-data-outage
I'm back up and running. Was down from 6:15-7:42pm pst.
Some dude spills a soda on the keyboard at the command center and the who system is down nation wide.
Seems to be up and running fine now Houston TX
Well my contract ended today, so I decided to jump ship to AIO Wireless... Since T-Mobile is getting rid of their grandfathered plans and making people upgrade, I decided to leave, and join the Pre-Paid community :victory: -- Cant wait until the Nexus 5 drops haha..
I'm SuperCID'd sim unlocked (did it last night), rooted (been rooted for years, the sensation is not my first rodeo), and all that Jazz...
Anyways.. I did everything that I was supposed to get everything activated and working.. typed in the new APN settings and got my data working and all..
My problem is that i do not get connected to 3g or 4g... I called CS and they said that everything looks fine.. (they dunno whats going on).. go figure.
I have 2g. Its pissing me off...
Just wondering if anybody else made the switch and are having/had similar problems??
Thanks
EDIT: Well i called back hoping to get another person to talk to.. and that somebody told me that since my phone is from T-Mobile, I wont be allowed to use their 4g.. --- My question is now this -- Since my phone is unlocked, wouldnt i now be able to use AT&T's network?? Or is the phone itself still required to use TMO's frequency? I'm confused.
EDIT 2: Did more research around xda and found that i could change the modem to att's frequency bands.. I flashed the modems via terminal emulator and even put in canadian radios.. well, both didnt work. when i flashed the modems, they didnt change the bands.. I would need the international sensation that uses att bands for att to work (thats why i flashed the canadian radio just to see if that would work) This is probably why we dont hear anything about our tmo sensations getting used on other carriers because no one has successfully changed the modem.. We cant change the bands that our phone comes with.. Damn.
Well, I guess i have to live with 2g for a week or so until the nexus 5 drops.. Then i can just slap my sim card in there and experience LTE ) -- but in the mean time, ill be using wifi.
