The P3100 has phone,SMS etc. I've recently swapped my galaxy note 2 for a tab 2 as my sole device. Use it as a phone or with wired, Bluetooth headset etc. Just class it as a big phone.
Note that the WiFi only version has no phone capability

Answered with some research.....

I did a lot of research, but it was not clear for me at all.
Yesterday I contacted a french hi-tech seller about the galaxy tab 2. The guy answered me that I cannot phone with it. If I want phone capability, I have to buy the note 10.
I'm sorry but the subject of "Can I use my tablet as a phone" is a tricky one, or at least not clear at all.
I'm planning to offer a tablet as a gift for my parents. So if I can phone with the Tab 2, then I'll buy it for Xmas. Otherwise, I have to find another one !
So guys here are saying that the galaxy tab 2 has phone capabilities. Without any modifications ? Any country ? It works out of the box ?

This is good news. Thank you very much to all of you.
The Tab 2 is much cheaper than the note 10, so it's a good option for me.
see ya,

P3100 is the 3G version of the 7 inch Tab 2 and it's totally different to Note 10, i hope you know this. It's not the 10 inch Tab 2 and there are 6 types of Tab 2: P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113.

Depends on which "this tablet" model you have. What is your model number?

Waa, thanks for asking. I meant the 10 inch version.... 7 inch is too small for my old parents !!!! :silly:
Does it change anything ? The 10 inch version does not have phone capabilities ?

I have not bought it yet. I am searching for a "good" one. good means 10 inchs with phone capabilities...

tab 2 10.1 have 3g version too just like 7.0 but i forgot what is the phone model.. hmm maybe p5100?

P5100 is the 3G version of Tab 2 10.1 inch and it has support for GSM voice communication, SMS and MMS.

Great! Thank you so much!
I will buy this one!

From symbian to Android

Hey guys, i have a nokia c6-00 smartphone and i would like to know if i can flash it with android. I searched the forum but i didn't find something about this phone. Also don't suggest me to buy android phone, i already have a galaxy note .

If you ask whether is it possible to run Android? then the answer would be yes, it can be possible. But too much work based on Kernel development for making it boot. Non-Android devices like Samsung Wave, Nokia Lumia, iPhone etc. have the history to run Android, but was unstable and had too many bugs for using it.
So, if you couldn't find any Android port based on the Nokia C6-00, then it probably not exists.

So is there any rom for the nokia?

If you couldn't find anything while you searched, then probably not.

It does nt make sense
You should search for symbian to windows phone upgrade

Well actually i wanted to test wp. I will search the forum and if i come across to any problem, i'll ask for help. Thx.

I can't find anything, so i'll do factory reset and it will be ok.

It would be possible
It would be possible if developers try to port on nokia .. It's like too difficult but not impossible as i already read about porting android on NOKIA N8-00 ..

I dont think that someone will spent his time to a 3-4 years old smartphone

I have so many old symbian phones, if only I could install Android on them to make them useful But too old!

Should I buy Galaxy S6 ?

I am looking to buy a new smartphone. I am confused between LG G4 and Galaxy S6 (32 GB). What is your advice? I am hesitating to buy GS6 because of limited storage.

I said mx5 PRO... not just mx5 ... also consider the oneplus two. Its cheap model with high end specs. Asus zenfone 2 another one.

S6 is an awesome phone and software wise will get better! Yes 32gb is low-ish but it's perfect for me though as I have the luxury of my music on about old iPhone!
Take a look at an S6 up close and see if you like what you see but if storage is an issue as a previous poster mentioned the one plus 2 is supposed to be good. My line manager is eying that one up next with a sim only deal ?

UMIDIGI S2 Pro

Has anyone started to work on ROM for this phone, looking at the spec of this phone looks promising, it has a large battery capacity which is great but look at battery test for this phone it looks like stock software is not optimized, so just wondering if the community is willing to help optimize or any advise

the review of low configuration umidigi S2 you can see on Youtube

I've got the regular S2 for a couple of weeks now. It's a good phone with some downsides. Camera is not fantastic but good enough for everyday stuff. If you want amazing photos buy a flagship. Proximity sensor doesn't turn off screen properly while in a call, maybe fixed in future version. One of the major networks in Germany does not work for mobile data in most cases (O2 and Eplus joined and the phone can't handle the "data roaming").
Tech support is non existant. They will point you to their half chinese forums with barely any members that is spammed with press releases. Posting takes dozens of "money" that you must unlock with posts. Very unprofessional but maybe expected for such a relatively small company. There are no service addresses for repairs and the accessories market for that phone is very very limited. Barely any cases or screen protectors out there. If you break anything on this phone expect to get a new one. I have not tried yet but to get replacement parts for this seems near impossible at this point.
Other than that, screen is great for the resolution. Battery life is absolutely brilliant. I can get through a full day with using <40% battery and it lasts easily 3+ days on pure standby.
Wifi has become much better I think after the last firmware update. They are updating the phone but I wonder for how long. This is not a manufacturer that can or wants to support all of it's devices like big ones do.
Materials are good, maybe a bit slippery in the hands but all microblasted aluminium phones are like that.
Screen has a <1mm bezel between the side of the phone and the display surface but I don't care about that.
Build, to me, feels very good. Fingerprint sensor works well and fast. Android is 6.0.1 but I hope they will have an update to 7 or 8 at some point.
I don't care about benchmarks so I can't talk about that, my apps work well. Video streaming is fluid. No idea about 3D gaming I don't use my phone for that.
For that price it's a great phone imho.

Have just pre-ordered this device. Will wait to see what comes, hopefully able to unlock the bootloader and remove any bloatware that comes pre-installed.

It exist a custom rom for s2? I'd like
It has poor camera, other things are very good
What kind of custom could fix in it? Paranoid android?

Apparently it's possible to install TWRP on this Umidigi S2 :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-twrp-umidigi-s2-s2-pro/
I don't have Umidigi S2 to test but I'm very interested by the S2 Pro.
Perhaps it is possible to install Lenovo SNAPit Camera in order to improve the photos by flashing it with TWRP ? :

Does it support volt in india (to call using jio)

This post was a cut and paste from another phone.
Now the link for the custom recovery is available. I will probably give it a try just to be able to root the phone.
As of today, there is no available custom ROM available for the umidigi s2, although you can find posts on how to revert back to the stock ROM. Those posts are also just cut and pasted from other phones sharing the same cpu

I just tried that and while the recovery installs my phone wouldn't boot afterwards. Maybe because I have the main partition encrypted but maybe for another reason.
Also for me the screen was flipped 180 degrees probably due to a backwards display in this phone.

Still early days I wouldn't personally try it but I'm sure in time this phone will get Dev support , I had some feed back from umi on there FB page regarding update to 7/8 they said there waiting on MediaTek's to release source or sdk as this P20 chip was built around Android 6 at the time and the P25 around 7 that's why pro ships with 7 that's what they said , also mentioned an update coming with a week but more likely bug patch still on Jan 2017 security , not the best look on a 2017 phone 2015 os

I personally would consider it for a next phone, though I'm not sure if the TWRP image for the S2 works on the S2 pro.

Hi
Please check and correct me If I am wrong. According to UMI claimed that the first batch of S2 v1 come with non up gradable processor and hence, you can only maintain at Marshmallow version ie. Android 6 while S2 v2 (so called 2nd batch) can be upgraded to Android 7 (no idea to Android 8???). So guys, please check directly with UMI on this issue. I am thinking of getting the S2 Pro but would like UMI to confirm whether same issue with S2 v1 ???? Cheer s -

Below is the info extracted from Umidigi Forum lately .......
"Quote" They said the first batch of S2 will keep on Android 6 (there will be some updates, but nothing of update to Android 7). So the second batch of S2 and the S2 Pro will come with UMI OS Android 7. Anybody received handset with android 7.0 what date are the V2 or is that just referring to the Pro , mine is due 23/11 ordered 16/11 wondered if it will be V2 model with 7.0. Seems odd 2017 handset shipping with 2015 software .... Phone i received week ago got Android 6 so its V1. That will not work on the first v1 of Umidigi S2 sadly. It's made for MT6757D (S2 v2).
How ever there are phones out there already with MT6757 (Not MT6757D) will be on Android 7.0. "Unquote"
Hope this clear some of your thoughts. Thank you.

S2 version 1 coming with Android 6 and can't be updated to higher android version.
S2 version 2 will be coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.
S2 pro is coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.

Didn't sideload google apps.... because realized i don't need them to be installed.... using like a PC ! And after update this phone became even more better.

Was wondering about the window size adjustment since I didn't see that even after doing my out of the box update (after this was posted), but just checked and actually have 10.0.1.123 Guess they haven't released 138 to everyone yet

Which model do you have? Europe?

Yes - shows up as TAH-N29m and C432E2R2P1 like OP's...

10.0.1 is out !!! Check your phones !!

Just got 10.0.1.139 indeed

Came here thinking it's 10.1 - Just saw the title again :crying:

Galaxy fold is not optimized as a tablet. Everything opens there as in smart phone view. You can change the screen size is switching down to tablet mode and you starting to see big lags in openning/closing apps.
Gaming on Fold (snapdragon) is bad... example AXE game., life after they all running bad on ultra settings.
Now i understand what is optimization meaning with
Mali-G76 MP16 and kirin. Im telling this as a owner of "2" galaxy fold ! Fold can't even run well 2 games together !
