Flyer WIFI - GSM phone call - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Can anybody confirm if the trick (enable GSM phone call on Flyer 3G) listed in the Flyer android development forum works on Flyer WIFI Only?
Please advise, I'm planning to buy it now
Thanks in advance...

The trick enable phone call on 3g flyer, not on wifi only flyer. On a wifi only flyer you will probably get an "insert sim card" message. You need a 3g flyer to have a simcard slot on the tablet. Then, with custom rom, or root access, you can enable phone calls.

As the previous poster said...
Nope, it does not have the necessary hardware, that's why It's WiFi only.

The Flyer Wifi Only takes SIM cards and receives SMS (+ GRPS and GSM DATA are supported) !!!!!!! The only difference is that it does not accept 3G connections

I think you are mistaken... Where does the SIM card go?

HTC Hero 3G question

Hi,
I have a question about the 3g network. Well recently i tried connecting to vodafone and noticed that there is no 3g icon on the status bar unlike from the orange network. My question is that if there is no 3g icon, does this mean i do not have the 3 g coverage ? I tried connecting to the net, i put on the right settings APN, proxy.... but in vain. all i get is the message that i have to enable mobile connections which in fact is already enabled.
Can anyone here clear my mind please. thanks.
P.S I have no problems with the orange network. 3 g, Hspda everything works fine and fast.
You need to make sure you have a 3G SIM card for Vodafone. If you just pulled one out of an older phone (especially one that did not have 3G) then the SIM is probably only good for 2G (GSM/GPRS). The 2G and 3G SIM cards look identical, but they have different information on them.

for sure it is a 3g simcard. on other phones, coverage and data connection works fine but on the hero....
But on the Orange network are you not using an Orange SIM? And on the Vodafone network using a Vodafone SIM?
Only other thing I can think of is Vodafone don't have 3G coverage at the exact location you are trying?

well yes. i actually have two sims and 2 phones but i would have prefered to have the vodafone one on the hero. Vodafone do have the coverage cause my other phone do have the 3 g coverage.Cannot figure out where is the problem. Called the guys at vodafone and all they could tell me was that they do not have any settings for the phone, that they cannot help me cause they do not provide the pphone here.
Hmm....the APN setting and everything should be the same regardless of 2G or 3G data connectivity. Actually, that is something to check if you have not already. With the Vodafone SIM in your Hero when you go to Settings->Wireless Controls -> Mobile Network settings you might want to make sure "use only 2G networks" is not checked. Also make sure the Access Point Names is configured correctly. I don't know what they are for Vodafone, but a quick Google should tell you. Other than that, hmmm.........

Yep , i did everything right. still......
Try locking it in 3g mode. I have a rooted G1, you get to the menu by typing the following into the dialer:
*#4636#*
after entering that sequence it should goto a menu, pick the first item and scroll down and see if you can change from "CDMA preferred" to "CDMA only" or whatever your 3G equivalent is.
This is based off a G1 with a Hero ROM, so results may vary. Let me know if this works =)
Also make sure that you are switching over to the Vodafone APN settings. You can have the settings in correctly, but if you don't switch to that profile, then it will try using the Orange. This is the most common reason I have people in my store with data connection issues, they have the right settings, but didn't select the right profile.(I sell cell phone and cell phone accessories on a GSM network in the US, so I get a lot of unlocked phones in need of setup.)
Problem solved. A moderator could kindly please close this thread. thanks to all who helped. Cheers!!!

hi friend,
well there was nothing to fix as such. it was a misunderstanding.
One thing i came to know is that 3g will appear only is there is a data connection ...and if your apn is set correctly.
and another thing that was resolved is that htc hero cannot connect to vodafone live here in romania because it is only possible through wap bla bla bla a lot of crap.
This was the answer of vodafone representant: For the moment, the service vodafone live we provide cannot be accessed through new handsets with new browsers such as n97,iphone htc magic...

Check if your sim card is properly inserted.
Try cleaning your micro SIM by wiping it and then try to look for a good reception, the first time I cut my SIM into a micro SIM I had the same problem the problem lies in reception because I was inside a internet gaming cafe at the time. Remember to automatically choose your network on the settings.
Thanks ill try cleaning sim! :angel:

[Q] Using 3G network instead of 4G on HTC One

I'm wondering if I'm the first guy on earth experiencing this problem.
I got an AT&T unlocked HTC One (M7) in the US and brought it with me to Brazil. I introduced the SIM card in it and it worked perfectly for phone calls. However, I can't get the internet access through the network. Brazil only works with 3G at the moment.
I called HTC and they told me to dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the settings for the network under "set preferred network". They told me there would be no guarantee this would work, but I should try.
I tried all the options from WCDMA, CDMA, GSM Only and so on and still could not get the mobile data access.
Right now, internet works only with Wi-Fi. So, he said that I could try finding help on XDA Developers.
So, is there anyone who knows what I should do next?
I wonder if rooting would resolve it, but it seems pretty much a device problem.
André
Make sure you have a 4G sim and make sure you are in a 4G area
But also, are youtalking about hspa+ or LTE?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Reply [Q] Using 3G network instead of 4G on HTC One
I'm not in a 4G area. Only 3G.
That's why I need to change the settings. I tried also setting the APN settings and nothing so far...
André
take the same sim card in some local 3g andorid phone in brazil and try again .to make sure your sim card support 3g network , and you say you can not access network by your phone. i doubt if you have a data plan .maybe you should take a phone call to your carrier to check the data plan of your sim card
Thanks for the tips. I solved my problem by calling the provider. It was ANP setting issue. I wasn't getting it right the way it was supposed to.
Thanks again!

4G is hspa+ ... it is a faster form of 3g but still it's 3g
4G and 4GLTE are not the same thing

Tether/Hotspot not working?

I can get my device to turn on the hotspot and I can connect other devices, but I have no internet on my phone or the device I connected to from the hotspot (say, my laptop). I am on AT&T in the US and typically in the past I need root to allow hotspot, as most devices on AT&T will give you an error message to go buy a tethering package before you can enable. But that isn't happening with this device, as I can actually connect just without the internet working. So I'm not sure if this is an issue with this phone itself or if this is still an AT&T block, just in a different way. Let me know if you can get access to hotspot and if so what you are doing. Thanks!
Anyone?
I have no problem with hotspot.
AT&T was known for restricting internet sharing for user who dont have tethering plan,
So why dont you try with other sim which has tethering plan?
My carrier doesnt have that limitation, so cant really give you best answer
Go to apn and delete the bottom apn, that will fix it
I have dual sim version (L29). Two 4g sims inserted. Sim1 as main sim.
When tethering my laptop on Sim1, I cannot browse the internet on my phone. Whatsapp messages do not send or receive.
Anyone having similar issues? I'm sure this used to work fine before on my Samsung S5

Can you help me to explain how did you delete it and which one ?
Thanks

Hi i have the same problem, when my tethering is active i cannot have internet on the device, only on my computer. I tried to delete the APN and reset them but still not working. I got my phone today . Model ALP-L29.
Well I didn't get the best solution but for the people like me with the tethering issue on model ALP-L29 they can put the sim on the sim 2 slot and tethering and device will have internet. But I still waiting to find a real solution for slot 1 sim. I hope it helps

This is nuts. I too have the Mate 10 dual sim version, and had the same issue; data on my connected device but NOT on the handset itself when hot spot connected. Only 1 APN.
And sure enough, changing the SIM into SIM2 slot fixed this; data simultaneously on handset and connectyed device. But this defeats the purpose of me choosing this model as I wanted the micro SD storage!
So any further advice on getting SIM 1 enabled properly woudl be great.
cheers

wow! i have same experience. sim1 tether, internet doesnt work on phone only on connected device. sim 2 tether, internet works on both device and phone.
another huawei bug! i spent hours on the phone to my mobile provider typing in APN details!!! furious with huawei and this buggy junk phone!!!!!

I spent an hour on chat support with Huawei this morning and they confirmed this is not correct functionality and to return it to the retailer. Bit hard as this is a grey import in the UK and I don't want to send it back to Hong Kong. Would love to know if anyone has genuinely managed to get SIM1 working on the dual-sim model for tethering?

will that actually change anything though, what could possibly be changed as everyone has the exact same bug.
im so surprised more people arent complaining about the bugs in this phone.

You're right. This seems a common theme so I've returned the phone and am getting a LG V30. Same price. Huawei aren't quite there yet to be in the Premium phone category. Ok Google never worked; WhatsApp only notified me of messages half the time. Many small issues that collectively ruin the experience....

Can the LTE versions make phone calls?

I'd like to know if the LTE versions can perform phone calls.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.
yes, you can see a screenshot of it here http://www.computerbild.de/fotos/cb...MediaPad-M5-Android-8-Tablet-19812675.html#16 (german review)

You can , just like other phone.
If fact, my MediaPad thinks it is a phone, rather than a tablet, and you can set the icon management to be like a phone too.
Works well.
It works but the as there is no earspeaker, it is always in speakermode. So you need either a headset or be fine with everybody hearing your call.

A sure way to check if it *really* thinks of itself as a phone is to put a data only sim, associated with a tablet plan in it. If it identifies itself on the network during registration and provisioning as a phone device - the speeds with data only sim will be capped to 3G, like 512k only. If it reports itself as a tablet as it should - you will get LTE service.
Is the card slot suitable for dual SIM?
