I am thinking about buying this tablet. I have a couple of questions about this tablet.
1) Does it have Flash Player?
2) Is there a CyanogenMod build available for this device?
3) Can I get a prepaid sim from AT&T or T-Mobile and use it for prepaid data and such?
4)Does this device have the Android market?

Are there any apps that dont work with ATT that came standard with T-Mobile? Im asking because I want to delete some that are not going to be used. For instance, I noticed Mobitv, Mobile Backup, Visual Voicemail, etc. Does not work with AT&T. Interestingly enough Telenav still works for me. Odd.
Also can you download apps from att website and it work on the HD2? For instance, AT&T navigator?
I would like to ask you: how phone works? Do you have 3G or EDGE? How is speed? I'm thinking to buy one and unlock it to use on AT&T too.
Unlocked att
Im using it on att and it running on edge. I can't tell the diffrence from 3g i was running on my tilt 2. Wifi obvi. But you should get it. All my freinds on att that check out my phone want it now and most of them are Iphone users
Picked up my Tablet yesterday from T-Mobile. Connected to the web etc using Wi-Fi because I had lots of software to download. Could NOT get any data with my sim card.
I am grandfathered into a data package with T-Mobile which gives me Unlimited Data for $19.99 plus a voice package. Support told me that for this tablet to work I had to upgrade to their Web Connect package for $39.95 and I would NOT have voice. [because they INSIST voice is IMPOSSIBLE with the Galaxy Tab.] [whatever]
I didn't want to agree to their upgrade because my sim works PERFECT in my Dell Streak 5 .. I believe that there is something wrong with the Gal-Tab. I kept telling them that the internet net was the same in their web connect package, it was just more expensive. They told me I was wrong. So I said .. OK make the change. They did and 12 hours later I still cannot connect.
I contacted them this morning and got them to give me my OLD $19.99 internet package and voice back ..
SO .. Any ideas ?? I even tried changing the APN on the Samsung to the same as on my streak. My streak is epc.mobile.com .. the Samsung had it as epc.tmobile.com
I had an issue with my data when I first got my tab too - the support personnel signed me up for an incorrect data package and all I got was a redirect to a Tmobile page when trying to use the browser (and no data on any other apps).
After talking to Support they changed my data package and voila, it worked.
So what's going on - unfortunately T-Mobile US filters Galaxy Tab's by IMEI. As such, they completely block it from working on any plan other than the data plan built for it. Despite the fact that the tab is technically capable of being a phone, T-Mobile will not allow it on their network.
So your telling me when I get my galaxy tab if I pop in my wifes T Mobile sim it wont work. That is truly annoying.
Instead of getting a new data package I am going to just pay the 10 a month to add mobile hot spot to her phone which will work great (maybe even faster because she has 4G on her phone)
THANKS .. I hate T-Mobile but have been with them for 8 years .. I guess I have just learned to put up with their NONSENSE !!
Since Dell Streak 5 came from AT&T Tmo does not have records and treats it as a smartphone. The same will be true for the Galaxy Tab purchased from AT&T. You will be able to get data and even voice using other Tmo Sim after reflashing proper firmware.
But since these two carriers use different frequencies for 3G you would get only EDGE.
It is hard for us to understand rational for such decisions. It seems that they are loosing Tab sales. Why do European carriers find it profitable while US not?
there is a way to get both voice+data on the tab using a standard t-mobile sim with data+voice. 1-you need to flash an European ROM to get voice and 2-then there is the issue of the IMEI which blocks the tab from accessing the web with a sim that already has data.
the second part cant really be posted as i was already removed by the mods due to rules violations, but it can be done i am using my Vibrants SIM on the tab.
Sounds like someone failed to do their homework. T-mo Tab is suppose to be data-only device and utilizes different APN's with custom modem firmware then smartphones, hence why your SIM would not work. You need to root the Tab, flash Euro firmware, then flash a custom modem. Instructions can be found in the development forum. Also, keep in mind that flashed T-Mo Tab can only get EDGE, no 3G.

That's not correct! You can get 3g data with your T-Mobile sim card with the correct modem. Just use roto-modem switcher

I think all our posts can confuse anyone.
The question was about using Tmobile smartphone Sim with the Tmobile Tab.
Let me say this: there is no way to get legitimely both voice and data on Tmo network using Tmo Sim. You can get voice without cellular data, or 3G data with different modem and separately paid broadband service Sim not the smartphone Sim.
I put my Sim card from my MyTouch 4G on the Tablet and phone works n/p but you need to flash a Euro rom! Thats it bottom line! Flash The rom and you will have phone access
Hi Everyone,
I've searched a number of threads here and can't find a consistent or concise answer for my issue. I have an unlocked T-Mobile LG G2 (801) that I want to use on AT&T. I put my AT&T sim card in the phone and can get calls and texts, but no data. So, what I would like to know is,
a) can I use my AT&T sim card in this phone and get data (this seems totally possible, based on what I've read, but I haven't found the right settings apparently)
b) if I can get data using my AT&T sim card, will it be 4G / LTE, or HSPA?
c) will rooting this phone better my chances of getting this to work, and/or getting faster data?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Have you input att's APN settings?

I have a Verizon LG V20 and am considering going with a data only plan and using google voice - is this viable? My understanding is that the VZ LG V20 cannot be unlocked, so I cannot use 3rd party SIMs for data - do I understand that correctly?
I really like the V20 and was told that the VS996 is dual SIM and can be unlocked. Looking for suggestions...

I am trying to understand your question and please correct me if I am wrong. Are you trying to use your Verizon branded phone on a GSM network like AT&T or TMobile? If so, your Verizon phone should be already unlocked to GSM networks. It is my understanding that most or all Verizon phones are GSM unlocked. You can insert a GSM SIM card and simply change the APN settings.

My understanding is that VZ phones are unlocked for use internationally but not in the US. I could be wrong. I suppose I could take it to an ATT store and ask to try a SIM.
My goal is to use the phone for data only and use 3rd party apps for voice (Google voice, my own VoIP system, etc).

I have the LG V20 US996 version of the phone and it is unlocked, came that way, and can use either an AT&T or Verizon sim. It recognizes on booting the particular sim that is in the phone and switches to "GLOBAL" settings and will work with either sim. I happened to be testing this out to see if my crappy Verizon data speeds I had been getting on a phone at work was the fault of the phone or the network. Turns out it is the network. Getting slightly more or less than 1Mb per sec speeds on Verizon and well over 6Mb on AT&T. Trying to run a laptop internet connection with a Verizon MIFI at those speeds and with the accompanying connection issues is darn near impossible.
As to the use of other 3rd party sims for data plans and using Google Voice, I could not say. I imagine it would all boil down to what bands the 3rd party companies use and if the US996 supports.
Hello. I have an old Samsung Note3 Verizon SM-N900V. I have it unlocked running Android 10.
I want to use this with a PrePaid Card, but does not seem to be available. Does anyone know how to make this work?
The only providers I know that "Could" work are Total Wireless or Straight Talk.
Both Nt10wireless & TotalWireless when I enter the IMEI, it says:
IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Our partners are upgrading their network and your phone is not compatible with the new technology.
on Verizons prepaid activation, when I enter the IMEI it says:
Oops, Looks like your device is no longer supported on our network.
Does anyone know if there is any hope to get this working?
