This is a question that was asked some time ago. (tired of waiting)
does anyone know if there will be a galaxy tab 10.1 with 4g built in for t-mobile/at&t.
The verizon 4g lte version wants you to get an additional hotspot device. Which is dumb because you have to carry two devices in order for it to work.
Kind of stupid if you ask me.
Also will it have an sd card slot?
On the initial demo version they said it will have it. But none of the 10.1 tabs i have seen so far has an sd slot.
Can anyone confirm sighting of one and if they will be coming out.
Cheers.
I have a verizon lte galaxy tab 10.1. No hotspot or additional hardware required, so not sure what you're referring to. In nyc I got 17mbs down using lte last time I checked, compared to 5 mbs down using wifi.
No idea about at&t/t-mobile versions though, sorry.
And yeah no sd card slot, which sucks, oh well.

Does anyone know if there is a way you can get a 4G tablet Verizon sim card and swap it into a 4G Verizon phone. I really want a data only plan on a 5 inch tablet. I know you can do it with the Iphone's/IPad ATT Sim cards. I was wondering if you could do the same here.

People have swapped the thunderbolt's sim with other thunderbolts, but other non phone devices...I do not know.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the SIM is a microSIM. When the Xoom comes out with 4g, currently projected to be mid september as I write this, it might have the full size SIM that you could do that with.
i thought putting your sim in another device would burn it out if the ime# numbers dont match for security reasons
I am considering moving from Verizon to Sprint (for reasons unrelated any handset I have now or could get). If I move, this means getting rid of my Samsung Droid Charge, which I like a lot, and getting a phone on the Sprint network. As near as I can tell the Galaxy S-II (Epic) is the top of the line phone at Sprint, so that's what I would probably get.
Q. -- Are there any reasons *not* to buy a Galaxy S-II (Epic)?
Q. -- It looks like there's a cagillion ROMs for Galaxy S-II. Will all of them work on Sprint's version of it (the Epic, which is a CDMA phone)? Or are some ROMs only available for the GSM versions of the handsets?
Q. -- I've never used ICS, but I suppose that I'd install an ICS ROM. Which one or two is considered the best (favoring stability over speed)?
Q. -- I've been running a wireless tethering app on my Droid Charge, instead of paying Big V thirty bucks a month for tethering privileges. Assuming that I root a Galaxy S-II (Epic), will I be able to tether from it, without getting nabbed by Sprint? Will I need an outside app to do that or will any rooted Galaxy S-II do this?
Thanks in advance.
A. Sprint may be getting the Galaxy Nexus soon. If you like the phone, that may be one reason not to buy the SGS2. New phones are coming very soon within the months.
A. All roms here in the i9100 section will NOT work the Sprint SGS2. Check out the Epic 4G section of XDa:

A. Ask the question there regarding a good rom. It may be suggested to use a gingerbread rom for better stability.
A. You can try using certain apps in google play for tether. Again, just confirm with the epic 4g section if sprint watches this or not.
Thank you, Kaze105.
The Droid Charge has one forum for its GSM and CDMA versions, so I didn't think to look for a different forum for the Epic variant of the Galaxy S-II. Sorry to post in the wrong place, but thanks for the info.
Would the Nexus, once available, be considered superior to the Galaxy S-II (any variant)?
FYI, Sprint SGS2 is actually the Epic 4g Touch. It's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
As far as comparison to the Nexus, depends on your point of view. Nexus has no external sd card slot, but does come with AOSP Android, so no TouchWiz. Screen is different as well, as well as camera. It's a subjective thing.
Yes, I should do my own research and I have done the bare minimum. Atrix is a GSM phone and I believe page plus works on Verizon which isn't a GSM network? But somewhere I swear Ive read about the Atrix being able to work with other networks. Can it be flashed to page plus and if not which networks can I get it to without hardware changes. I am trying to sell mine as I got the S2 (don't flame me lol), I got the Atrix 2 first but everything I saw about the specs said the original was a better phone so I went with the next one in line for ics. It is what it is. Now I want to sell it so I can get the S3 and be next in line for JellyBean. So who is my target customers I can flash it to for prepay? Thanks in advance!

No. If it doesn't have a sim, it wont work with the atrix since they (moto) didn't release it to cdma. Sorry
I recently bought a used Galaxy Note 2 from someone (via craigslist). The phone is in perfect condition externally, looks brand new. It has stock Android 4.1.2. When I picked it up I tested it out and everything worked great, however the area we were in didn't have 4g so I couldn't test that. Got home and switched my Sim card from my old galaxy nexus to the note 2 and it won't connect to 4G at all. It gets 4 bars of 3G, wifi works fine, making calls works fine. Moved the sim back to the galaxy nexus and 4G comes right up.
I called verizon tech support and the guy I spoke with tried to do some kind of update that involved rebooting the phone but that did not fix the problem. He said the only other thing to try is a new sim card, so one is in the mail. If the new sim doesn't work he says it's a device issue. I'm having trouble believing that the sim could be the problem since it works fine in my nexus.
FYI I've tried setting the network mode to both Global and LTE/CDMA.
Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance.
The only other thing to try with it is to flash root66 with the NAND Erase box checked in Odin to see if there is something still left on the phone causing this.

You could try the hidden settings. Force lte. Let me see if I can find a link.
If you play with the hidden settings though, be careful, and remember everything you do in there.

Dear Friends,
I have run into a STRANGE problem with the last two Sprint phones I have tried using on Page Plus and SelecTel. The problem is simple: I get speeds limited to .2Mbps on Note 3 and S4, no matter, WHERE, WHEN, AND HOW I am with the phone. This is perplexing, because, I have tested a Verizon OTA phone, right NEXT TO my N3 and S4, on the same service, at different locations, getting the NORMAL Verizon 3G speeds - that is, upto 2+Mbps.
I have been using flashed Sprint phones on Page Plus and StraightTalk for YEARS, but I have NEVER seen this issue.
I think the problem is with provisioning, because when a Speed Test is launched, my Note 3, for a brief second goes to 1Mbps+ speeds, and then something just pulls the speeds down. Now ST, may throttle, but I know Page Plus and SelecTel don't, so why is this happening? Is it the included SIM in the phones? Could that be the issue?
I need your help. If you are using a Sprint Galaxy S4 OR Sprint Galaxy Note 3 on StraightTalk (Verizon), Page Plus, OR SelecTel, please:
1. Run a Speed Test for me and report your speeds.
2. Tell me if you have the SIM in your phone, and if so, which one is it, and how did you get it?
3. Share ANY knowledge, tips, or reasons why this could be happening to me?
I am so darn frustrated from this, and am not getting answers anywhere?
Lastly, yes, the 3G keys are in fact, properly written to the phone, because in phone status I can see that the Phone is authenticated and connected and EVDO Rev A.
Appreciate your help in advance! Thank you.
