[question][at&t]

I would like to says thanks to clubtech for link to purchase unbranded 3G tab 7.0 plus. Also thanks to xda for our own section here.
Just got my tracking number, I super excited, but I know to be cautious with AT&T data. Has anyone tried popping their AT&T SIM into one of these. I currently have grandfathered unlimited smartphone ( not iphone ) data. Currently I have a Dell Streak 7 4G, and I havent gotten any notices/ had any problems. So Im -hoping- I can just pop in my AT&T SIM with voice and smartphone unlimited and I'll be good to go as this model Im expecting is unlocked. I would be uber stoked!
Anyone have any suggestions to be stealthy and avoid getting bagged?
anyone tried a similar setup in USA with this device?
.... just want to be "safe" as possible. Thank You guys, Im sure I wil be very active in the forums when my device gets running.

Would you mind sharing this link or post a reply to my post about it ?

sure, here: http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Samsung,P6200,Galaxy,Tab,7,0,Plus,333168.php?prod=333168
enjoy.
Im hoping I'll go undetected by AT&T as there are still some 1st gen gtab users with voice and unlimited smartphone data , correct??

Thanks, coincidentally it's the same company I had found a couple of days ago. I even contacted them ( and they promptly replied to my questions ) asking a couple of questions.
Did u receive your tab yet ? What shipping method did U use ? Did you have any problem with custom , clearing it ? Did you have to pay any custom duty ? This was my bigger concern since the item is coming from Malaysia. In the past I've bought several things from China, Hong Kong and never had a custom problem. But never bought anything from Malaysia. This is copy of their correspondence :

As for AT&T, I do not live in the USA but I am there often. And I've always used a GoPhone SIM card. I even use it in the old Galaxy Tab 7 , that I bought from AT&T and promptly flashed with an European Rom, and unlocked , so I could use it as a phone. I buy Pay as you go data packages.

edit : I noticed that you just got your tracking number, so I guess you have not received the tab yet.

got mine.. used FedEx and it was here in 3 days.. No customs issues at all.
It will not work now t-mobile because the frequencies are not compatible. I am using mine on at&t and it works well as my area has 1900mhz coverage.
Fyi they are shipping the white model, not the black model as shown not their website.

3 days.. you lucky son of a gun.. j/k . I was thinking they might ship white, oh well I got a black carbon fiber skin that should take of that , so voice and data are working good on AT&T. I neeeeed this thing, groove ip and sipdroid on my dell streak 7 are flaky. what kind of download speeds you got clubtech? Im in hartford CT and in good areas, im getting 7-nearly 8 mpbs down on dell streak 7, normally around 4 or so.
mine just completed through customs whew had me nervous for a while.. im using DHL.

Hmmm, I'd love to get a white model. Thanks for the feedback, I'll order mine shortly. As you can see from the Ip mart reply they claim that they do not have the white model ........... I guess the guy answering the messages does not really know :

I can simply insert my ATT iphone sim into the sim card slot and use this tablet like my phone? If thats true then Im definitely going to order this. Anyone have any issues ordering from iPmart?

They are probably not aware of the color as it is being sent from a 3rd party. I definitely got the white version.. I wanted the black one but the white one will do as well.

Took a chance and placed my order. I hope mine gets here with no problems.

Any idea about Verizon Note Edge!!

Hey guys anyone heard any update on verizon note edge. Its passed through FCC about a week ago and still no update from Verizon:crying: . thus anyone heard anything on when we can get our hands on it.
Also for someone who is really impatient like me, can i buy a mobile or att edge and run on verizon ( Provided i unlock it) and ge LTE. I know samsung has both gsm and cdma radios but does it also support Verizon lte spectrum ?
Hopefully we get an update from verizon soon

From another post they said maybe looking mid Dec. Who knows though. Verizon is last on everything! I've thought about jumping ship to sprint and getting unlimited there for 60per month but I hear bad things about the CS there. One verizon rep told me the other day that they were improving the battery for the edge to compete with the droids battery life. He said if that's true he was waiting to get the edge. Hopefully just a couple more weeks cause I've been waiting on this phone for about 2 years now. Samsung is supposed to be releasing a bendable display for 2015 http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...eils-5.7-unbreakable-bendable-display_id48046

Dammit. I have the 4 already, but will get the Edge. Hurry up Verizon...........

With all the phones sold over bkack friday weekend and a 14 day return policy I doubt we will see it before mid to late December as already stated.
Just an educated assumption.

Samsung S7 | Newegg | Exynos-International Factory Unlocked Phone

Hi Everyone,
I am planning to buy S7 from Newegg, but it is a Factory Unlocked International Version with Exynos processor. Does anyone know, if this will work on US GSM carriers perfectly?
I have had Wifi & 3G/4G connection issues on older Samsung Unlocked International phones. I would really appreciate, If anyone purchased this model and can share experience. This will help me & lot of others making decision.
Sorry, I am not able to post a link due to new member restriction by xda.
It's currently sold at $599.99 by ThePowerSeller and at $659 .99 by Newegg.
Thank you in advance

I have the International version, the only things I have noticed is that it shows 4G not LTE, and Samsung Pay does not work

Mine is coming on Monday. I'll know more then.
Also note that in the UK 4G refers to LTE. So you while your phone may only say 4G, you are still connecting to, and getting, LTE speeds.

Yea, I ordered the one that was on sale on New Egg. Same one you are looking at. I got 2 day shipping but I didn't know that wasn't weekends. So it is coming Monday morning. I'll let you know how it looks (condition, not if I like it per se) when it comes.

Just got it. It was packed well. I think it is the Spanish version based on the default language (easy to switch). Just before I switched from my Nexus5 I ran a speed test and got about 30 down (on band 4). After setup one of the first things I did was run a speed test on the S7 and got about 10 in the same spot. It DOES say LTE. I think the LTE vs 4G thing was a UK thing. So far it looks good.

Awesome...thanks mate. I ordered Saturday, will receive by 14th I guess. I am also switching from N5 to S7. (Well, i did return N6P 2 weeks back. I am used to N5 so much that it felt so huge.)
Damn, should have used my shoprunner account to get 2-day shipping.

Are you with ATT? I'll be curious what you see for LTE speeds. Mine still seems slower than my N5. Not horrible, but slower.

No, I am on Tmo.

Hey, I AM with ATT and you are right. The LTE speeds were much lower than with my N5. I did a bunch of research and I may have found this issue but I'm still testing.
If you got to settings and then go to 'Mobile Networks' then 'Access Point Names'. Everything I read says that I should be connecting to ATT Nextgenphone. When I look at the settings in there and go to 'APN Type' there was an extra type called 'fota' which from what I can tell, is used for tablets only. Some of the stuff I read specifically said that it shouldn't be there.

https://www.androidpit.com/us-apn-settings
Once I took it out, my next test got me a little over 25 MBs. I'm still testing but I'm hoping that this helps.

Well i received my S7 yesterday. Mine shows LTE and i am getting speed around 50mbps.
However i did notice significant heating with moderate use. I thought fixed heating problem with liquid cooling. Anyone else having problem?

I see the same speeds on the S7 as on the 5X and Motorola X Pure Edition.

Gear S3 and S8+ on Sprint - plan or no plan?

I've been researching this the last few days and even chatted with a Sprint rep (which was pretty much useless)...I can't seem to get an answer on this one simple question--if I get a Gear S3 with LTE and "pair it" to my S8+, what (if anything) is needed for me to be able to go out on a run without my phone and STILL be able to receive texts, calls and emails on my watch? Is there some $5-10/month plan I need? I understand that the watch and phone don't technically need be on the same provider, but I would like to stick with Sprint for everything.
Thanks.

I've got the unlocked Gear S3 on TMobile for LTE and my Sprint S7E gets forwarded to the Gear S3 when I go out without it. Now on the Note 8 (Sprint) instead. The Gear S3 has an eSIM. No problems for me using it this way. I can also make and receive calls on the Gear S3 stand alone as well.

Thanks for the reply. I assume you mean that your Gear S3 is on T-Mobile and your Note 8 is on Sprint, correct? So, how much are you paying for the Gear S3 LTE per month? I was hoping to avoid having bills from two different carriers.

Yes, that's right. Many others managed to get the TMobile for $5/month, but I wasn't on them so I pay $20/mom ($15/mon on auto pay), but it is unlimited and I'm not on a contract.

Yeah, I read somewhere that if you have an existing T-Mobile account, you can get a smartwatch added for only $5/month (with auto-pay), but as a Sprint user, I think I'd be in the situation as you and wind up with $15/month. For what I would use it for, I'm not sure that $15/month is worth it to me...I only need to be away from my phone with the watch a few times per week. I appreciate the info though, thanks.
Do you know if Sprint is planning on adding plans for ANY smartwatches? In the chat conversation with them earlier, they mentioned the new Apple watch as an option (I have all Android devices, obviously), but nothing else that supported LTE.

No, but that would be the only reason. They have not offered a smart watch plan since the Gear S.

No sprint has no data plan for the watch and the watch's radio is not on the CMDA network of Sprint, but on the GSM of T-Mobile. If I'm wrong, others chime in.

Anyone know anything about the T-Mobile / Sprint variant of the Tab S6 Android 10?!

Been trying to find something about this variant with no luck just got the April security update but no Android 10..

I have the T-Mobile variant (SM-T867U). I called T-Mobile and they could tell be nothing. I also read somewhere that the Verizon variant had the update rolling out maybe 2 weeks ago. It seems like the delay is with T-Mobile at this point. I also asked about being able to beta test and was told there's no option for customers to beta test with T-Mobile. Looks like we just have to wait and watch our toe nails grow.

Tmobile is always last to get any sort of update. We're usually last for updates on my S20U

I'm super annoyed with T-Mobile on this but saying they are always last is silly. It is such wide variance with literally every carrier. Sometimes T-Mobile seems on top of it and at other times it's ridiculously delayed. In the case of the Galaxy Tab devices, it's clear that Samsung barely keeps support going for each variant and T-Mobile has almost no focus on supporting them. That has been consistent for at least 2 years now and it has caused me to completely switch over to an iPad Pro.

When it comes to the major 4 carriers in the US, the Tmobile variant is always last to get every firmware update. Verizon is usually first, and Tmobile is mostly always last

Hi i got the tab s6 from tmobile and i have doubts if is a good idea to flash it firmware to international or other variant of it?

Still waiting for Tmobile ?

Still waiting on tmobile too anyone has patched the German or UK firmware on their tab s6 just want to know if the LTE Bands works here fine the bans is my only concern here ?????

I'm guessing we aren't getting it

avid_droid said:
Yep. Disgusted with the lack of security updates for the Tab S6. You pay 725 with Tnobile and get an outdated tablet and just stays outdated. This is a shame. They should be charging cheaper for an outdated tablet.

Damn, I really wished I researched this before latching on to TMobile for S6. Didn't realize a lack of root for this tablet was in at as well. Oh well. Hopefully a solution will happen soon enough

Downloaded the UK and German version and attempted to install with ODIN, patched and unpatched. Got a Fail each time.

I spoke with tech support the other day and they said they've already received numerous calls. She said she made a note and emailed the team to find out what the hold up is. So hopefully soon we receive the update. Its a shame to pay 725 for an outdated tablet with no support.

This was a lie from support. They didn’t do anything whatsoever without giving you some sort of issue tracking number. They say all sorts of BS to appease customers

avid_droid said:
Yep. Kinda figured that. It was funny though. At first she was like," android 10 is the firmware on the device and was pushed out." Then when she checked again she was like, " sorry, Samsung hasn't pushed the update." Then in which I told her that wasn't true because it has been pushed and tmobile hasn't released it. Im just irritated that we pay 725 for it and its outdated. Tmobile shouldn't be doing that kind of crap.

Return it! Seriously. It is definitely not worth the price because even Samsung barely maintains tablet support. All of their focus is on a new tablet to compete with iPad Pro anyway.
