[Q] Verizon Galaxy Tab - Phone Calls

Has anyone started working on the Verizon Galaxy tab?
I know they were able to make the T-Mobile version make phone calls last night.

Well it is totally possible, I saw the Activation dial to *228 upon first turning it on. Even displayed the Phone icon in the top status bar during this process.
I guess it all would depend on getting the correct Phone.apk and supporting files. And then of course getting someone at Verizon to activate this as a "Smartphone" vs. a "Tablet" so that you can' actually make/receive calls.
T-Mo tablet was able to make calls by replacing files from the EU version and using a SIM from a active phone, but I don't think we are going to find anther CDMA version anywhere else except VZW and Sprint that supports voice like the EU versions.

Hi! I'm from Mexico and I bougth a Verizon Galaxy tab without knowing I wouldn't have phone calls, I feel like a moron I was able to activate it as a smartphone in my contry so I'm looking forward for a working firmware.

All the stuff for the phone is there, someone just has to make it work. I see the phone apk here on my Sprint tab, they are just blocking it somehow.

I bought a US Cellular galaxy tab of craigslist( even tho I'm die hard Verizon...) for $250, clean esn and everything but would be very interested because if someone can make it work on the Verizon tab I can for sure make it work on mine

my is from verizon... actually i am here in mexico and when it goes to activate it dials to iusacell (cdma carrier here in mexico)...
we just need some one to "unlock it"...

Sorry, I was mistaken. My galaxy tab is from Sprint not Verizon. Anyway from what I know both use CDMA network so Verizon tab should work in Iusacell without problem. To activate it I just called the iusacell help desk and provided my device ID. That's all, the activation was successfull but my tab still notify me that I'm using roaming.
I'm planning to visit iusacell directly. In the meanwhile I thing we can just wait for a jailbreak for CDMAs tabs.

I almost forgot....
If you go to iusacell web page. There's an activation chat button in the rigth top edge. Just click it and an iusacell employee will ask you for your tab ID (HEX number behind your tab). After some minutes your tab will be activated in Mexico. If you have success could you provide your experience? I'm still trying to register the device in Renaut without luck.

Well, I gave mi tab to some guy that work in iusacell, and is fully working in prepaid even with free internet at 1x (not sure is legal). He need it one full week to configure.
Not roaming, is in renaul (the guy from iusacell registered).
If you want the contact let me know.
Lets hope some one bring phone calls to this baby.

Of course! I want my tab working in Mexico , I'm not sure if the rules of the forums allow us to share contact information so I will go directly to tech support and I will be providing my expirience in a few days.
Do you have SMS?
I think we should create a new thread because we are really far from the main topic....

I created a thread to avoid filling this thread with no related posts.

G935FD - Dual sim help needed in USA

Hi everyone;
I really need help and input from you guys.
I bought Dual sim Edge with UAE firmware. I looked on the forums and there are recommendations but mostly from people in Europe so I am not 100% sure how would some of those firmwares perform on US networks.
I use T-Mobile as my main SIM and AT&T as secondary (with SD card mod)
Everything works fine but there is few things missing in OEM firmware. I would really like to get VoLTE, video calling on T-mobile and Samsung Pay working.
Are there any of you using same phone model that can recommend firmware that would address all these issues?
I do not mind re-flashing and deleting data if I can get what I am asking for.
Also can i flash 935U firmware on 935FD? I had it on my single sim Edge and it was great.

This thread is great for Samsung Pay. I'm in the US on T-Mobile, latest DBT firmware, SPay v2.2.02 and SPay Framework v2.4.02. Seems like some guys have it working with v2.3.00/v2.5.00. I'd love to get the latest version working for the online pay features....
VoLTE and T-Mo video calling.... eh, still haven't found a fix on that one yet. At least not one that also allows SPay. I remember a thread a while back where guys claimed success with VoLTE on the Czech T-Mo firmware, but I haven't tried it. WiFi calling would be nice, too. Until SPay is out in more countries, sounds like you have to pick and choose your features. Others here may have learned more since then, though.

Vodafone UK, unbranded S7E, any way to get WiFi calling at all?

[SOLVED]
Please see this comment for how I weirdly got WiFi Calling.
Hi guys, signal in my house is horrific - I've been trying to get WiFi calling for ages, and loved it when I was with EE.
I'm now on Voda and don't have it.
From what I've seen, it doesn't appear to be possible with an unbranded phone (why Voda!?) through any normal/configuration means.
I have the option to turn it on under settings -> applications -> phone -> wifi calling, and I've sent 'CALLING' to 97888, but only get the confirmation of the text, and nothing to confirm it's been set up. However, I don't get the little icon to signify that I'm using wifi calling.
Is there any way I can get wifi calling?
Does it require flashing?
If I'm going to have to root/flash anyway to get this feature, is there a way to do it one of the nice custom ROMs I see on this forum, but retain the vodafone branding?
Thanks all.

Easiest way is to flash a Vodafone firmware. Had to do the same to get EE WI-FI calling working. There is an option in unbranded firmware but activating it does nothing

Just flash latest Vodafone firmware that way you will not trip knox and you should get wifi calling

I suggest you check with your provider, if the unbranded phone was not bought from them.
Wifi calling may not be allowed because the imei is not registered to a vodafone branded phone.
They may have blocked the wifi calling feature.

Hey,
I've got the Google Pixel phone which I bought from Carphone Warehouse. Vodafone have told me that WiFi calling should work with it without any special firmware. I've tried using my SIM card in a friend's Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which he bought from Carphone Warehouse and it worked! I too didn't get a text message from Vodafone when I texted 'CALLING', but WiFi calling is now active on the SIM card, albeit not the phone. Have been in discussion with Google who have escalated my problem to their technical people. Hope it can be resolved very quickly, otherwise returning the Pixel, which I don't want to do.

Thanks very much for the replies guys - I have something to report back to you all too. Unsure HOW this happened, but it happened... I somehow got WiFi Calling.
I'm scared to try do anything else like switch off my phone, because I don't want to lose my new WiFi Calling.
Here's what happened:
I have an EE iPhone 5s, locked to carrier. I'd recently requested an unlock from EE. It had been switched off, and was recently hard factory reset. Unsure of iOS version.
I put my Vodafone SIM in the iPhone today to see if it had been unlocked... it hadn't. SIM was in there for roughly 1 minute.
I put the SIM back into my S7E... started getting the usual texts from Vodafone about changing SIM, blah blah.
Somehow, I now have WiFi Calling on my unbranded S7E on Vodafone!
At no point did I switch off my S7E during SIM changing.
*NOTE* I'm not sure if something has changed recently, but I definitely did NOT see the WiFi Calling symbol before I did this:
I have no idea why/how and I can only speculate.
But... there we are!
Not sure if anyone else can try/vouch for this, as I realise it's a VERY particular set of circumstances, but I hope this helps someone!
Please do respond to me if you try this out and get it working... it'd be interesting to see if it works for others, and maybe figure out why it works.
Cheers!

No signal on stock rom

So,
I was using my XT-1563 on a CyanogenMod in one of my local carriers. I bought a new phone and decided to sell this one, so I went back and installed stock rom. So far everything was ok.
The problem came when the person that was buying it tried to use her simcard. The phone didn't show any error, but it never connected to that network. Then I tried another sim from different carrier and it didn't work either (but it does work using my old simcard). It recognizes there's a new simcard, but fails to connect, only allowing emergency calls.
I've been trying all day to fix this. I have flashed nearly half of all the stock roms available, obviously starting with those from my zone, but so far none has worked.
I also tried the simcard into my new phone and it works just fine.
So, I know the following:
- The simcard is ok.
- It's not a signal problem (I have tested it in different parts of the city and zones I know have very good signal).
- The phone works using a simcard from one carrier, but not the others (and it doesn't ask me for some unlock code).
Thanks in advance for any help, it'll be greatly appreciated.

So, did you ever carrier unlock the phone? I realize it's not asking for a code, but you never said you actually unlocked it.

At this point I'm not 100% sure.
When I bought the phone it was supposed to be unlocked (I got it from someone else) and I'm pretty sure it was, because it was originally bought for one carrier (Entel Chile) and then I used it with another one (Wom Chile). By law, every phone sold in Chile since a few years is mandatory unlocked and this one is not that old (2015).
Right now it only works with Wom Chile, even tho I've installed Entel's stock rom. I think it's some baseband issue from what I've read, but I can't be sure.
P.S: Sorry for bad english.

Yes u r right
i used cm14 on xt1562, i'v feel my network was drop around 30-40% specially on Reliance JIO 4G VOILET.
Over all - rom is good for enjoy but not for stability

vowifi volte

Hello everyone
I definitely want to understand how is it possible to activate vowifi ( and I think it will be the same for volte) one op5.
I Know that first your provider has to offer it and you have to enable with your provider. For me it's done ( Salt in Switzerland)
Then, it's up to your phone to be able to do it.
And finally the software part. It's where I don't understand anything.
I know that it can be setup on op5 but I don't know how.
Will it be easier with a custom Ron like resurrection remix for example?
Thanks for your light on it

Most likely your carrier enables it only for very specific devices.

I tried the same with swisscom but without luck.
As I understood in various post on xda, Volte and vowifi doesn't work in Switzerland (salt, sunrise or swisscom) for the oneplus phones even if you force the activation by editing the build.prop the Swiss profiles are still missing in the OP5 system files
You have to wait for oneplus to add the Swiss profiles in the next updates and the VoLTE option will finally work

Where do you think we can ask for it??

We need to wait for Oneplus to add the profiles for other providers...
This is the answer they gave the last time someone here asked the same :
"OnePlus 5 hardware circuit can totally support for VoLTE, but VoLTE service also needs carrier support. Now only followed carrier could support VoLTE service:
Completed VoLTE:
China: CMCC
UK: EE
US: TMO
India: RJIO
VoWiFi:
UK: EE
US: TMO
More and more carrier will support for VoLTE soon."

volte active in Turkey but carriers not support oneplus, xiaomi, asus etc. I activated volte service xiaomi mi 5 phone that adding volte files in qpst program. may be a developer find a way activate of op5
