Every thing i'm reading says you can make phone calls from the galaxy tab plus in receiver mode. is that strictly for the 3G versions? Because on my wifi version I don't have that option.
Sorry but off course you cannot do that with WiFi version...only 3G works as a phone.

That's only half-correct. You can't make phone calls without a wifi connection in the wifi-only version, and it is missing a traditional dialer, but there are plenty of apps, such as Skype, Vonage, and GrooVe IP which will allow you to make calls in receiver mode even on the wifi-only version.
Does anyone know if the 3G/4G GT 7.0 Plus can be flashed to enable voice calls, like the original Galaxy Tab? Thanks to the great devs here on XDA I was able to flash my original tab & was hoping to do the same if/when an AT&T model is released. Other web sites (samsung, gsm arena) show pics of the GT 7 Plus & the GT 2 with the dialer app. I'm sure these are the European versions, as was the case with the original Galaxy Tab.
....if not, I may have to settle for a Galaxy Note.

I understood we were talking about phone function with dialer application, which wifi version is unable to offer. And off course there are plenty devices which are able to make calls through VOIP, Skype etc...but not through GSM if there is only wifi version. This is general for tablets and computers.
Does this the t869 version have the "Voice Receiver" mode?
Talked about on the Samsung site or just speakerphone?
samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/7.0/feature.html
No it does not. Tmobile variant is missing some hardware = crippled.
Sorry guys so does the 3g model work as a fully functional phone on T-Mobile?

Or does any version run on T-Mobile US 3g that can be used as a fully functional phone?

That is the million dollar question that I am trying to get answered too. I have the original Samsung Galaxy Tab and make phone calls all day long with it. Of course I am using a SIM that originally worked on a Samsung Galaxy S so I don't have just data on my plan.
If you are like me, you are absolutely frustrated that you can either have Phone+2G or swap modems and boot into pure 3G mode without phone calling ability. So, I have a couple people confirming that the Huawei Springboard can make phone calls and I believe also utilize 3G/4G on the TMobile USA network (unconfirmed on the 3G/4G portion). I want to stick to having a 7" device that makes phone calls as my phone but I want my 3G/4G ability that I am paying for.
So, here are the tablets that are out and if they work with TMobile USA network:
Huawei Springboard Phone=Yes, 3G/4G=?
Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus Phone=?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Phone=Yes according to one website
Samsung Galaxy Note Phone=No, not unless new radio is put in unit.
Dell Streak 7" - Not sure
Thoughts? Errors that you see on my info above?
From what I understand the Springboard is also missing the hardware to do voice calls without Bluetooth, speakerphone etc.
Is it possible to purchase the int'l unlocked version of the Galaxy Tab 7+ that has the voice receiver hardware and flash the modem, etc from the T-Mobile version so that tmo 3G/4G?
Or is that a hardware incompatibility with the int'l version?
Juanpv, I believe you are right about the Springboard not having the hardware/microphone to handle phone calls without bluetooth or headset.
I believe the international version of the Tab Plus doesn't do the 1700 bandwidth which the TMobile USA network needs.
I'm so frustrated right now. Does anyone know of a 7" device that works on the TMO USA network and allows phone, 3G/4G without having to reboot?
I've been using the T-Mobile galaxy plus as my primary phone for about a month now. I etf'ed(if that's not a real word,it should become one) my original number to transfer it over it Google voice,only cuz i picked up a galaxy ii as well. I downloaded the groove IP app and that was pretty much that. Now granted,its not ideal,on wifi u get a small delay,and because I live in a market without 4g...its almost impossible to use it as it cuts out either when I'm talking...or the other person on a line. My tablet has two numbers attached to it also...the Google voice one and the T-Mobile data plan. Granted...I use really only about thirty minute a month for voice...its been pretty ideal for me. It was also very easy to attach a blue tooth headset to it. Also,I don't think it allows u to call 911...but with two other cell phones in the house,I hope it wouldn't b a problem. So I've been pretty happy with this setup..playing games is great, I've been reading way more then before and I have yet to find pants that I own that it doesn't fit in....watching Netflix or other movies is great,especially on the treadmill ...and that'd really when it becomes awkward...is listening to music at the gym...but its cool to use apps like jetfit pro to keep track of your sets. Is it ideal...no...but more then functional. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
Ps. While the camera takes decent pictures...its def a drop off from the quality of the s ii I got use to before I gave it to a family member.

Thank you for sharing in what way you are using the TMO Galaxy Tab Plus. Have you tried or found any hacks to get one of the sim cards, from another phone, to utilize the phone features of the tablet?
I see on the Samsung website that it has phone calling capabilities but I also read somewhere/someone believes TMO had Samsung remove the physical hardware to support standard phone calls. I personally believe that is erroneous information as they thought the same with the original Samsung Tab.
I am just using another "data" sim card from T-Mobile...so I have two numbers attached to my tablet ...sorry...I did scour the interweb to find a trick to just use my original one...but no dice :-(

From what I have gathered, and excuse me if this has already been said (It doesn't look like it above)...
Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (USA Version) won't allow 3G/GSM Calling. No one has hacked it like you can on the original tab. I actually bought the Galaxy 7 Tab Plus in hopes I can, and sadly found out after hours of reading that I can' t
Now, the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (International Version) does allow you to! It will run you around $700 for it (I was able to find one for $460 in Australia, but shipping is expensive).
The reason the USA version can't, is the same reason why no tablet in the USA can make calls the carrier (I believe) blocks it. I don't know exactly why they do, perhaps data usage or something... there is only 1 or 2 tablets out there that support gsm calling, I don't recall what they are though, but nothing fancy like a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus.
I'm all about GSM Calling and anti-VOIP calling, but as I do more research I might migrate to VOIP phones, mostly because there is no limitation on what device you use...And I'm leaning towards the Sony Tablet P (Fold/Clamshell design)... I know, 99% of people out there hate that device, but I love the idea. Comes out in a week, so I'm pretty excited

I was under the impression that I could use my G2 sim which has unlimited data on this Tab, but that not the case!
TMO wants me to sign up for another data plan, so said KMB and send the damn thing back. As I could only load T-Mobile website on it using my sim card.
Now I am ordering EU tab thru my friend who lives in London. I will post updates after getting it

See, I feel differently about utilizing VOIP or relying on it. I personally have been using VOIP on older Windows Mobile devices, Nokia N800 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab when in 3G mode. But, I can tell you it's like having cell phone access about 1/10th of the time that you would have Cellular phone ability. Maybe it's even less but I don't want to be too critical. The amount of dropped calls, weird echoes, inability to even call, etc. is just too frustrating to rely on for a day to day phone. Plus, you'll upset everyone that you are talking too because they suffer through the same problems as you do. It's been a great way to alienate my friends.
I think I'm going to have to just give up and go back to a dumb 4"+ phone just so I have a dual core, Cellular, 2G/3G/4G capability all at the same time SINGLE device.
Damn the US phone companies! Every last one of them. At least with T-Mobile's business plan I get 1000 minutes, unlimited data (5GB), unlimited text for $39.99 a month. If I wanted unlimited everything then it's just $10 more at $49.99 as of Feb 2012.

Wow, thanks for that post I've been asking numerous people and read a few threads/articles online about VOIP, and what you said is exactly what I was afraid of, and I've been told it won't happen if you have a connection... but I thought, well what if I'm driving? That means the speed will only decrease drastically, and like most people I talk while driving a lot...
I was afraid of the dropped calls, echos, upsetting the other end, etc etc... looks like that will happen still
Sadly, I think I will also have to go back to a dumb 4" phone too :\ I really want to use the new Galaxy Tab 7 Plus as a phone, shame it's not possible like the original :\

I am using the Galaxy Tab t mobile SGH t849 7 ich that allows me to use GSM 2g voice + data and 3g data only using modem switcher.
Hi everyone. Just to start out, I am completely new to the Android world – I’ve tried to read up on these forums and whatnot but I am definitely a noob. I am coming from Apple, and long story short, I’m tired of iPhones and got myself a Galaxy S3 via Swappa in order to keep my unlimited data plan. It was previously rooted, but I requested that it be restored to stock.
I have been unable to get to a Verizon corporate store to get a sim card and activate the phone, so I’ve been using it on wifi around the house. I am having signal issues with the wif – it works everywhere except in my room. The signal shows as weak and keeps dropping every few minutes. My other devices have a strong signal. I have downloaded various wifi analyzer apps from the Play store, and they all show the wifi signal as really weak.
I searched and found numerous threads that this is an issue with some of the phones. I tried messing with settings (factory reset the phone, the router, did the *#0011# and turned wifi power saving off, changed the "keep wifi on during sleep" from always to never, etc) and nothing fixes it.
I would like to know what you guys recommend. Should I go ahead get a sim, activate the phone, update to Jelly Bean and see if that fixes the issue? I am unable to get the update since I do not have service. I tried to update via Kies, but it says current firmware pda:lg1 phone: lg1 csc: lg1 (vzw) not supported.
Or should I tell Verizon about the problem and see if they will go ahead and replace the phone? I’m not sure how that works since I am not the original owner. I’ve read that they honor the warranty based on the purchase date which is tied to the IMEI number, and not the owner’s name. Not sure how true that is… Also on the box, it says Verizon 4G LTE Certified. Not sure if that means my phone is already a certified replacement or if all the boxes say that. I haven’t been able to find that out.
I’ve read the thread about resetting the phone to return to Verizon. The flash counter screen reads Odin mode, product name: SCH-I535, Custom Binary Download: No, Current Binary: Samsung Official, System Status: Official, Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable. The android version is 4.0.4 and the baseband is I535VRLG1. Does it matter what the kernel, build number and hardware version are? I’m not sure what they should be.
I just want to be prepared when I walk into the Verizon store (which is unfortunately over an hour away), so I’m hoping I can get some opinions and maybe save myself multiple trips. I’m not sure if Verizon will work with me or not, but I figured you guys are the experts and can help me out. Thank you!
It looks like the guy who sold you the phone did in fact fully return you to stock. But it is fully stock based on the oldest stock firmware (I535VRLG1). My advice to you would be to activate the phone, and grab the OTA updates all the way up until the current version (I535VRBLK3).
I used to have all kinds of WiFi connectivity issues with this phone, until I replaced my router. Now it works perfectly. There was no real explanation as to why that was, but this phone does seem to have WiFi connectivity issues, especially with older Routers.
Try updating your software first, and see if the problem resolves with the new firmware. I believe Verizon does base the warranty off of the phone activation date, at least they did years ago in the past, but that may have changed.
Thank you, I appreciate the reply. I read that there was an OTA update issued around October to fix some of the wifi issues, but I wasn't sure if I had it. Once I activate the phone with the sim, do you think there will be any issues receiving the updates? I know nothing about rooting and have been trying to read more about it, but I'm concerned I'll end up causing more problems with the phone before I even get to use it.
The router I have is a free one Verizon gives to use with their dsl service - a Westell Model 327w. It is pretty old, although I think the firmware is up to date. The phone works fine when it is closer to the router and everywhere else in my house, except my room which is upstairs and at the other end of the house. I just figured since my other devices work fine, the S3 should too.
Thanks again.
If you are fully stock, with the stock recovery (which it sounds like you probably are), you should have no problem downloading and installing the OTAs. I believe you will have to take a few them before you get up to the current version.
I can confirm that the stock Verizon GSIII has a few upgrades before you get to 4.1.1 (the latest version)
Thanks guys.
I just remembered that I have a newer router that Verizon sent me, but I never bothered with it because the current one was working. I'll try and set that up and see if the signal improves.
I am hoping to get to the Verizon store soon, but unfortunately things keep happening that prevent me from making the trip. Can't wait to get this phone working though. Just the little bit I've played with it makes it difficult for me to go back to my iPhone.
This is how a noob post should read. Nice job, OP -- very informative and you did some homework.
Other noobs take notice -- this is how you do it. Notice how much help he got?

If its any consolation, I had wi-fi issues even with a newer Verizon router all the way up to the latest version of the the modem and rpm file (vblk3). With the last and latest (vblk3) update, those problems disappeared. So as stated, I would update the software to the latest and hopefully you should be good. Just to add, my wife had the same problems (same phone) as well so this validates for me that it was a software issue.

So I updated the ROM to the latest version.
Still have the identify unsaved numbers!!!! Yay!!
I was able to test the touch responsive on the new update.
The way I tested, was hold the phone in your left hand normally.
And try and tap a icon in the top right corner.
The palm of my hand would touch the bottom left icon activating it.
Since the update, this touch appears to be ignored now. So a good update with a little less irritation.

oh alright.
I got Samsung Pay semi-working on my G930F without flashing any rom. I couldn't access with fingerprint but with a PIN. Same as you, I can't add any cards, it says "failed to connect to server" right after I press the "next" button (the arrow). So I guess it's not even sending a ping to the server.
As a side note: the app in google play still appears not compatible and it doens't detect I have it installed. It's like if I have a whole different version.
UPDATE:
I "tapped" into SP's communication when sending the info of the card that I want to add and this is what it shows in both Samsung Pay and it's framework

It's a Samsung issue. I have the same problem on my S7E but Paypal works well with the fingerprint feature on my LG G5.
This is sillly. Samsung should release several firmwares for G930F and other variants according to carriers. For example a firmware with wifi calling and volte for tmobile US and Samsung Pay.
I think no matter if we have the app running or not. Their servers must be checking a combination of PDA and CSC and maybe more stuff and once the server realizes our phone doesn't match the criteria, it prevents the card registration. I don't know....
Android has always been about mods. We need leas root if they provide a wide enough customization and freedom for their (samsung) devices

Did anyone get a new Gear S3 update this morning? According to Sammobile, Samsung released a new update this morning. I didn't get it on mine yet.
No update for me either (TMobile). My G S3 Frontier (SM-R765T) says my current version is: R765TUVU1APJ9

It should work fine only thing you'll have to worry about is updates. I have the WiFi gear s3 classic so I only have to wait for samsung to release an update to the US while on carrier you probably have to wait for them to send out the update. Of there than that every thing else should work fine

I just bought the watch yesterday and S Voice was functioning just fine. Then I took a software update and it killed half the functionality. I can't reply to text messages with S voice unless I change my language to English UK. Then Everytime she talks to me she has an accent. There's a thread that many others have shared the same exact issue. I'm going to be returning mine. I love it except for S voice.

I just bought the watch yesterday and S Voice was functioning just fine. Then I took a software update and it killed half the functionality. I can't reply to text messages with S voice unless I change my language to English UK. Then Everytime she talks to me she has an accent.

Yeah in my opinion s voice was going to be crappy from before the watch got launched. S voice in general is crap. It needs to updated to Bixby in the future hopefully that will help if not then a different voice system
