I can't find it in notification panel and the manual makes no mention. Yet LG provides a data migration tool that works on NFC only? (Why doesn't it work over Wifi?) I feel like other variants have NFC.
Also, did anyone get a recovery on the H634. I don't think it has one.
I am formatting a 128 gig card now. Going to setup Link2SD. This phone is kind of infuriating.
A part of me wishes I just replaced my Note 3 screen. (anyone know how to replace those...I have one for sale, along with an S4 lol)

As the title says, I've been dying to get a Note 10.1. I finally got one but it happens to be a T-Mobile version and the sim card has been removed. I don't plan on getting 4G service ever if I can avoid it.
So now I have a few questions:
1. Will I be able to get updates like the wifi only tablets do or will I be forced to get T-Mobile service when updates come out?
2. I have these annoying notifications about the missing sim card. Is there a way around this? I have Sprint service for my phones so I really don't know much about sim cards. Do I need to go to T-Mobile and just ask for one to pop in without getting service? Are they free or would they send me packing because I don't have their service?
3. I also have the x'd out signal meter that I would love to get rid of.
Any advice you guys can give me as a sim card/carrier tablet noob would be very helpful.
Thank you
If you're rooted, you can use xposed mods to do almost anything to the tab you want. As for updates, I'm not sure about since I have the 8013 and Samsung has said fu to it.

if you are running stock rom. I would go to amazon and Order a sim card for data devices. I think you can get one for like 14.00 with 1 gb data PRE PAY. setup t mobile account and then change your plan to pay as you go DAILY . Your sim will not expire and if you want or need to use the devices on there network even once a year you can just jump on there site and buy a day or weekend pass.I have not checked this lately so the above cold be slighty different now. Good Luck
I bought this off eBay and it has the Kevlar vase, red trim, Ferrari logo on the screen and face, but it seems to be some type of internal TMOUS test model.
There's nothing printed on the battery cover and it shows up as a "XT939" on my PC and it has 16GB internal memory.
I wouldn't care, but the IMEI is "0", but it still makes and receives calls just fine with a TMOUS and an H2O SIM card.
Attached are some screens of the info, the "set up IMEI" screen that pops up after a factory reset (I just dismissed it and it still works just fine even with the IMEI still showing 0) and some proprietary software that is loaded.
Question. since it works now with my T-Mobile and H2O SIM, should I be worried that the "zero" IMEI might be a problem in the future?
Has anyone seen this sort of thing before?
TIA for any thoughts or ideas.
That's pretty awesome!

Thanks. I always wanted a Ferrari Moto G, but they were always scarce and expensive. So when I bought this one for cheap, the guy put up the identical auctions right after and used the same pics and descriptions. I was sure I got ripped off, but I did get it eventually.
I have read so many threads on people losing their IMEI when they flash the wrong ROM and not being able to access the phone radio, I can't understand why this works just fine with the 0 IMEI and that "program your IMEI" app that pops up.
This looks interesting. Take a full nandroid backup of everything in case this phone has a somewhat different firmware. Maybe is a test unit?

It's not rooted. I'm afraid to mess with it because of the IMEI "0" thing. Right now it behaves as carrier unlocked despite a null IMEI and survives a factory reset - I don't want to lose that.
Rootchecker says not rooted.
But CPU-Z says it is.
I installed SuperSU and it has super user checked, but I can't run nandroid because it says It's not rooted.
I'm probably not going to keep it, but I figured some stuff out.
1. It's not really a Ferrari Moto G - not like the ones sold in MX. Those had 4G, 16GB and an SD slot, IIRC.
2. This is only 3G, has a 12GB storage (10 usuable) and mo expansion slot/
3. This has T-Mobile Visual Voicemail built-in app - the MX Ferrari Moto G would have never had that.
My conclusion is that this is a test mule for T-Mo when maybe they were considering selling a Ferrari edition in the US.
Tough call to return it. It's a neat toy and unique, but like I said - it's so bizarre that I'd never be able to flip it.
Just that Ferrari shell would be worth quite some dollars if you ask me. Really, why hadn't Moto put Kevlar on the regular Gs...

The Moto G Ferrari edition sold in Mexico is 3G, 16 Gb and doesn't have a SD card Slot, it's just customized Moto G 1st gen

Yes, I just saw that on Moto's site that it's 3G. Many sources report it as a Moto G 4G LTE with 16GB internal - not sure how that became the status quo.
Hi guys,
I have a white Galaxy S6 Edge 64 GB Sprint model, SM-G925P and lots of trouble. I did not buy it from Sprint, as I'm not from US, instead traded my black 32 GB SM-G925F for this model, which is the international model. Thought that 32 extra gigs would not hurt and that the white one would be less off a fingerprint magnet.
Unfortunately, during the trade, I did not pay attention to a very important aspect: mobile data. I checked voice calls, camera and wi-fi as well, thought that everything should be fine. Mobile data is available only while accesing the settings and does not show while sliding from the top of the phone for the control panel.
As I got home, I discovered afterwards that I cannot make the update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 and that I cannot change the language from English to Romanian. The next day, I took the phone to a GSM service and they made the 5.1.1 update and mobile data work. I still can toggle it on/off only in the settings. The big issue is that I can use only 3G mobile data and that upsets me a lot. Of course, the guy that I made the trade with isn´t anymore to reach. Please let me know if I can do anything about 4G. I am really pissed off right now. Thank you very much!
Hi,
I'm also wondering if there's something possible. I already tried QPST and QXDM for enabling more bands but it didn't work. I guess it's something with the modem. Since the 925F uses a different chipset than the 925P it's not possible to use that one, but I found out that the G9250 has the same chipset as the G925P and supports an extreme amount of bands (more than the 925F). But since our bootloader is locked it's not possible to flash the modem. And even then there could be a lot of problems. So we have to enable the bands in the modem.bin. But that's quite hard and I still haven't found out how to do it, but it's our only hope. (G9250 Bands: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=7836&c=samsung_sm-g9250_galaxy_s6_edge_td-lte_samsung_zero)
Thank you for your answer mkalter,
I am by no means a developer and never rooted a phone, but if there is any solution that won´t brick up the device, I'll gladly try it. It is very upsetting to know that I cannot use 4G on it just because a provider doesn´t want so. Had to learn the hard way to triple check a phone when trading it.
I just solved the issue by selling the phone. Mods can close the thread.
I just pulled the trigger on a refurbished SM-P905 (Verizon) tablet. I would like to have the option of sticking my phone's SIM card in it and use the tablet as my phone (with an ear piece, of course).
What would I need to do to the tablet in order to make that work? Root? Install additional apps? Would CM12 work?
Assume that I have a Verizon cell phone that I would pull the SIM from and put into the tablet when I needed to use it as such.
Thanks!
I have the international version of the note pro SM-P905
from my previous knowledge,
any android tablet can be used as a phone except that phone calls will be heard through the speaker unless you use an ear piece.
I already have a phone sim installed on my note pro and it is working fine out of the box
I use it the sim for data and I made a few phone calls without any problems
no need for root or anything else
I don't know about Verizon note pro model but it is suppose to be the same
Thanks! I was concerned that the tablet wouldn't have the necessary phone apps and background software that it would need right out of the box.
I have the P905V as well.
I haven't tried a phone sim on I cant say for sure on the phone calls themselves.
however I am using a T-mobile tablet sim with text messaging and the text messaging does not seem to work on this tablet.
Verizon and sprint use CDMA for voice, SMS and 3G data
When they moved to LTE (Which is a GSM technology) they basically just added a sim card slot for data on top of the existing CDMA hardware.
Some Verizon phones also have the Sim slot enabled for GSM calling for people that travel internationally.
unfortunately most tablets (and even a lot of phones) dont have that feature and only use it for LTE
I suspect that this is the case here.
there is chance it might make calls if activated under Verizon though you would need a dialer installed. (Perhaps someone with one activated with Verizon could chime in if they have tried it)
The best option I've found on an alternate carrier is to use your google voice number in the hangouts app to make VOIP calls.
it works great for that and you basically have calling coverage anywhere you have data.
Groove IP also works pretty good and doesnt use much data.
unfortunately VOIP is the only option I know of.
On a side note, as stated above the international version has the full phone features in GSM format, this is often the case with international versions of tablets.
Sadly the US only versions often have things stripped out by the carrier, sometimes out of necessity and sometimes to push people to use their service etc.
Thanks for the info! That's exactly what I was afraid of, that the Verizon version of the OS on this tablet wouldn't include the phone/texting software. So I'm wondering if the CM12 rom does..?
Unfortunately while the Verizon version is rootable on android 4.4 there are no custom roms for it currently.
Also note that they released the 5.1 update for the Verizon model but its not yet rootable.
I've kept mine on 4.4 for this reason but a lot of people have opted to give up root for the newer software.
I know this all sounds like bad news but this is really an amazing tablet, I actually use it exclusively and no longer use windows at home.
I also often use it for calls over VOIP.
but unfortunately if custom roms and voice calls are what you are looking for in a tablet the international version would have likely been the better choice.
The Verizon Version does have a few perks due to the snapdragon 800 processor, charging faster being the biggest.
Thanks! I just purchased mine and its supposed to get here tomorrow. I'm probably going to send it back. I don't want to be stuck on 4.4 just so I can have root, and I don't want to deal with not even having root on 5.1. Then add-on that you can't unlock the bootloader on the Verizon version, and it's a no-go.
Hi everyone, I have been trying to activate any of my VZW phones on Page Plus, preferably my i535 to start but i've also tried my HTC M8 out of desperation with the same results.
Basically the phones activate fine, voice and text work fine but i have no data. I've tried a ton of variations of APNs and different network preferences but not a bit of luck.
I see a few old threads about Page Plus but it looks like those folks are trying to do flash or qpst the phones, perhaps cloning meid or other crazy things, i really dont understand the point when Page Plus lists both my phones as being compatible on the page plus website. Half the links are dead in those threads anyway, almost all screen shots are 404, it seems hard to find much information.
I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on either what i'm doing wrong or at least explain what all the fuss with flashing/qpst is about and if that's something i need to look further into despite my phones activating successfully and being listed as compatible, just i cant get data working.

I am on Page Plus with the straight talk version of GS3, it is the same as the Verizon but limited to 3g. If you are trying to activate a 4g device (like the i535) on a standard plan or $12 monthly plan, it will not be accepted. Those plans only work on 3g devices. If you are trying to activate a $29 and up monthly plan on the same i535 model, you need to purchase a page plus SIM card, without it the data will not work. You don't need to do any APN edit or special flashing, it will work with the SIM no issues. If you want to be on the 3g plan, get an s968c, it'll work like a charm. Just a side note, on CM12 and higher, the s968c model will not get data unless you get an already activated Verizon SIM ($3 on e-bay) and have it installed. This will get the APNs programmed for you. Good luck!
