samsung tab -all surf and talk on 3g (dont get your hopes up just wanted to share) - Galaxy Tab General

I came across this video on youtube and this guys seems to be running a t-mobile tab using voice+3g (i think, not sure if that's what he means): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ4EDRLaILk
Of course he just shows off the tab running web and dialing while on H/3G, he does not explain how he got it done. I went ahead and sent him a message asking how he did it. My guess is that he is running google voice not sure, if anyone else is running google voice and is exactly as this guys is showing off please advise.
Did not want to get anybodies hopes up, just found it interesting. Lets see what he says if he replies.

Thanks for the pointer. I remember that video from a while back, like November. I think he is using a voip application, not the dialer.apk, but I could be wrong.
I just got a report from a member in China who gets voice +3g data with one modem. He is using a tab he purchased in Chicago, and a China Unicom sim. Someone in Isreal said they do too, but I didn't get the sim provider.
Bottom line - it's possible, just not in the US with T-Mobile tab and sim.

Not seems to be a VOIP App... don't know!
But I just put a GUIDE of how to place and receive calls on your GT via VOIP using your Google Voice account. Also you could Forward the Call on settings to your SIP# so if you place your SIM on your tab and you could get Forwarded the Call to your SIP# and it will enter via VoIP!
It's a great solution until we get another solution!

I think it's a great option! At least I principally do it for calls when I went out of the US. And works awesome!
It don't have the same quality but works!

Hi Mark,
If you open market enabler and set a custom value of 310260 you should see paid and other unavailable apps in the market.

What do you mean it doesn't support your network? Afaik, what market enabler does is trick the Market app that you're on a specific carrier, ie. Tmobile[us]. So you can then have access to the paid apps.

It's fairly straight forward once you follow the guide (I used the giude on the Modaco site), although I did think I bricked mine when I first did it on my windows 7 64-bit machine (which I think is a known issue with win 7 ), I had no problems doing it on my ubuntu machine.
Fortunately when I bought mine from meteor the desires were unlocked so I didn't need to do the gold card step. Not sure whether they sell them unlocked now but I'm sure they are locked on vodafone, O2 and 3.

Gmail Phone Calls

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here it is anyway. My brother has gmail and so do I. He has Motorola Droid whereas I have x10. In gmail he has option to make phone calls and I don't. Not sure why? Does it has something to do with the phones we are using or something else?
thanks
Bikram
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The update of 2.1 will be here in our life time!!
I am gussing it's Google Voice.
No, its gmail phone call not google voice.
It works for me (in Canada), try going to this link and installing the voice plugin, then see if you can do it...
http://www.google.com/chat/voice/
I don't understand why this works in Canada, while Google Voice doesn't...
Edit:
I tried it in the morning on the office computer and after installing it didn't come up. I just did it and it worked at home's computer.
I thought you meant at first that you have it on your phone..
You are probably referring to this: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/08/25/MNGI1F37PS.DTL
Google announced yesterday that people can now make phone calls from within Gmail (not Google Talk). I think this only works in USA and Canada, and maybe also a 2.1/2.2 feature.

I called my cellphone from Gmail on my laptop this morning. I'm in Ottawa, so either Canada's been annexed by the U.S without anyone knowing D) , or it works for Canadian clients.
No idea how to get it to work on my X10 though. The link posted by chris_knows seems to download a Windows client plugin (or at least it does in xScope Browser), not something that can be installed onto Android.

It works for me too...but when I try calling myself, it gives me a California area code, so I think I'm just gonna stick to calling land lines haha.
But for the X10, my understanding is that it can only be done through Google Voice, which is only available in the U.S.
Works in Canada from the desktop same as Skype does. This is not Google Voice.
Since the Google Voice app is available in the Canadian app market though (don't know why) you could try going to the Google Voice webpage and creating an account if you use a VPN with a US server. That's how I got my Sipgate account.

Again, all the articles state it's only available in the US, but I (and others) have used it here in Canada (though as chris_knows states, it gives a US phone number as your source number).
Anyone know if users in the US have any way to make such calls via their Android phone, or is it purely desktop-based at the moment?

Im not sure about that since only xda seems to be giving me this problem. it's like on back on 28k modem.. actually even worse since the page won't load at all. and Im not posting this on first sight of this issue. i've had this problem ongoing for the whole week. it's just xda for some reason.
thanks for the help tho!
most times i click a link in this forum, be it posts or post or whatever, this is what i get (and yes I got it while typing the above post as wel)
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9168318/20121027_163228.jpg
I'm really sorry, I might be being dumb but what is the photo showing? - am I missing an error message? (presume you added the "help me pease" bit)
Have you tried accessing from another device on the same network and on a different network? (Presume you have, based on the other stuff on your desktop I assume u are very tech savvy lol)
I don't know why this would happen unless servers that you use are different from mine - my local network AND broadband are terrible but the site still flies (I access with Tapatalk on an (said quietly) ipad 2). I do occasionally get pages come up that say the are completely empty but a quick refresh and they return - presume that that is because of site updates/refreshes
Someone else may be able to help more, will be interested to hear the solution - good luck
thanks for the reply,
the image above is what i see when i click a link on xda... the pages won't fully load. i know it's justs XDA because non of the other sites show this. sites such as engadget, anandtech, phandroid, google news, etc, they all work fine, this is frustrating because even when I try to reply to someone, it will hang on me.
Yes i faced the same thing today

Verizon wear24 any way to unlock for use with other carrier?

I just picked up a Verizon Wear24 for cheap. I'm a Project Fi user and would like to get rid of the verizon crap on the watch and link it more completely to my phone. I'm new to Android Wear but not to android. Is there a way to unlock AW and flash a more stock ROM?

The SIM actually comes out in this if you take it apart enough. You can replace with any SIM of your choosing. The real problem is that the phone is limited on bands as it is just LTE band 13. Let's say you succeeded in adding bands, you would still have an issue entering APN settings as this menu is restricted.
Without root you cannot add any bands. i did this with my tmobile lg g3 back in the day. while complicated it did work.
Has anyone rooted this watch?
Adding bands to qualcomm you must patch rmt-storage or any modifications to the bands will revert
then you have to enable APN menu as adding new APN is disabled on this firmware.
Since this watch was available at $80, a lot of people jump in to get one. Hopefully with time we get more developers to be involve. I'm looking to replace the bands. As of now I don't care about LATE. But I wish we can enable NFC for Android pay

Would be nice to have separate forum for this model
Ordered mine for $80 and received it today. It would be nice to see the developers work some magic on this thing. Don't like the fact its stuck on Verizon and all the Verizon bloat on it. I can live without LTE but would love to see the Verizon SMS app and stuff go.

For now you can just disable the Message+ app in System apps. Also disable the cellular radio.
Interesting approach, wonder if you can still send and receive texts with Message+ disabled?

Bt is phone audio. I'll do a reset see if that helps. Hope so because it is a nice watch. Maybe we will get stock wear it soon and have the full potential unlocked.
Tried the reset but no change. Everything seems to work except the mic. Google assist also does not work for texting with ok google. Watch is solid tho.

Note 20 users all get free headphones now, limited time.

Just saw this article on Android Central. You click the link and input your phone number to receive a text then verify your phones IMEI through Samsung. This is for the Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra. The US Snapdragon models didn't come with headphones so now's your chance to get them.

Probably only for US users. In Canada it tells me my phone isn't in this warranty
Working for Canada? I am not getting the SMS.
I copied the IMEI number from the "about phone" and it directs me to a page that says that this is for Fold, Z Flip and Note 20. I have 2 of the Note 20 Ultras and it does the same for both. I guess I need a little help here.
Thanks
Who's site is that link to?
Looks plishy... never saw Samsung do that before.
