I see how Samsung DIVE should be able to be set up, but I can't seem to find the ability to add it on the Galaxy S II AT&T, does anyone know of a workaround to add such, or is it hopeless and AT&T just hates any free service provided by a manufacturer?
I am trying to do the same.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
The Only thing I can seem to tell so far is it seems to be nowhere in the actual firmware. Clearly it is in the pure Galaxy S II Firmware and Possibly Sprints (don't have access to one to check) which means custom roms could have it readded if we get a spliced together or purer International ROM.
Stupid AT&T. I guess I will have to return this phone and get international version of the SGSII. International version looks better anyways.

I wouldn't do that myself, I'll just install a ROM. This way I can still theoretically have my warranty. When you think about it, a $8 USB jig and my own roms is a great option for the device to ensure that I can keep a functional warranty on my device (since the jig resets the counter apparently and makes the unit think there hasn't been a flash of unofficial firmware)

Hi,
I bought my vibrant in 04/09/2010 from an ebay store without any contract and it was unlcoked.
I would like to get my GPS fixed by either samsung or T-Mobile.
I already emailed the ebay store I bought it from and they said I could send the phone to samsung to get it fixed.
1. Do I have a warranty? Who is responsible for my phone right now? samsung or t-mobile?
2. What is the official rom version right now? KA5? where can I get a complete stock version of this rom, not deodexed, without root, somthing that I can send to the samsung service?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much
The T-Mobile Vibrant officially came out on 07/15/10, you got it in April?

I'm pretty sure he's using the international date standard: dd/mm/yy, as opposed to the american version: mm/dd/yy.

AFAIK, neither samsung nor t-mobile actually fixed the GPS issues.
the closest thing we have to a fix is the JI6 firmware update (which managed to help only *some* phones) and the hardware mod that's a sticky on the general forums.
technically, you could go ahead and see if samsung could help you out but your warranty is voided if your phone is used outside of the US (so don't let them know that you have if you're not in the US)
i'm not sure, but i think the official stock rom out there right now is KA7.
if you're looking for a stock rom, check out the android dev section of the vibrant forums.
1. I'm using the international date format because i'm not from USA. The warranty is voided if i'm using the phone not in USA in a GSM network? can you show me on samsung's site where it is written?
In any case I have someone going to the USA in a couple of days so he can drop it at samsung's service and they don't have to know.
2. I saw in one of the forums, that any galaxy s phone (or one of the US variants) made after october had a hardware fix for the GPS, and I even saw people writing that T-Mobile replaced their phone because of the GPS problem. Can someone confirm this?
Thanks again for the help

If you are a T-mobile USA customer (which I am). I called Tmobile. And they are sending me a refurbished SAmsung Vibrant no questions asked because I told them I could not get a GPS lock and that my phone was made in August 2010 (before the Oct 2010 silent fix).
It's weird. Because I originally had a 06/2010 Vibrant and GPS worked flawlessly. Never had any issues. I sold it in December. I repurchased another Vibrant (made in 08/2010) and that Vibrant had major GPS issues.
Either way, Tmobile is sending me another Vibrant. Took a 5 minute phone call. You have to be a Tmobile customer.
Yeah call t-mobile that's what I'm doing couldn't get home in the snow storm because it would lock then throw me somewhere else

I'm not a T-Mobile customer, i'm not from USA.
Do you think that T-Mobile will help me anyway?
Can someone confirm that the official rom is KA7 and not KA5 or KA6?
TMobile will not help you. You will have to try Samsung directly. Official ROM is KA6.

Samsung and T-Mobile never made any hardware changes to the GPS, despite some people on xda falsely claiming that Vibrants produced on/after Nov 2010 have new GPS hardware.
If you wan't to fix your GPS do the following steps.
1) Odin back to JFD
2) Completely wipe your phone. Format and do a factory reset by going to dialer then dial in *2767*3855#. This will format your phone and do a factory reset, so you will lose all data
3) Use kies mini to update to official KA6.
4) Then just for fun do one more format and factory reset by dialing
*2767*3855#
5) Now with your fresh stock phone, try the gps. Download GPS test from market and see how many sats it sees and locks onto. Chances are it will lock onto zero. It is ok, go back to Google Maps and leave it open for like 15 mins. Let the GPS keep searching. Eventually it will see sats and lock on. Go back to GPS test now you should see the GPS locking onto several sats. Your accuracy should be within 17-50ft, which is the best you can get with this piece of sh*t GPS.
6) After doing all the steps above, you can also optionally download "gps restore" from market, and run that while standing outside.
6) DONT MESS AROUND WITH LBS MODE, no matter what people here say.
I have been waiting a while now for the SGS2 to come to att, but now im thinking i might just be better off with the international version anyway.
Right now im using a samsung captivate. I like that the phone has so much community support, but sometimes wish i had the i9000, because it gets updates faster, and has a better modding community.
I know att's version will have support, and will probably be ok. But since both phones are gonna cost me about the same, should i just get the international version?
I hope to be able to run cyanogenmod as well.
Internatiol is better , but if you consider to use a custom rom, i doesnt matter which version do you have.

Well akaik the captivate was a different story. I9000 roms would work on it, but with modifications and bugs. Looking back on the SGS1, i would much prefer to have the international version. Is that going to be the same case with this phone though?
Please help... I did a search and didn't find what exactly what I was looking for. I'm coming over from an iPhone So I'm in the US and I just purchased the international version of this phone. I'm going to use it on AT&T. I know that the international version does not have a warranty in the US, but am I going to have trouble getting official Android updates via Kies or Odin if I'm not rooted? In other words, does the updates originate based on what country my phone was originally made for? I got an unlocked version and I don't see any carrier branding on the outside.
With news that AT&T will be bringing the S3 to the states this month, it prompts this question.
I currently have an international i9100 and love it. If I were to get the S3 via AT&T (at the subsidized price) would I be able to root, flash, and do anything "good" with it? Or would I be an indentured servant to AT&T?
AT&T locked the bootloader of HTC One X so I'm not really sure if they'll let you use it freely.
But then people found a way to unlock the bootloader so I think even if AT&T locked it, people would find a way around it.
And you'd also get 4G LTE, 2GB RAM but a Snapdragon S4 processor.
The S4 seems promising but it's only dual core.
AT&T has yet to make it so you cant root a samsung device. The locked bootloader is common with HTC devices so I wouldnt go off of that but I have had the S1 the S2 and the Note and all has been unlocked with little to no issues.
I spoke with a customer care rep in the executive's office today and was told the bootloader is going to be locked.

Of course they will say that, whether or not it's true is another story, and like mentioned it won't really matter if it is or isn't
Thanks. Once I get it I'll be back in here to get some direction with it. I'm fine with dealing with the international unlocked versions, but never tried anything with a carrier branded device.

Never actually heard of any samsung phone from at&t shipped with locked bootloader. Mostly is HTC phones, and they are known to do that even on unsubsidized phone till a while ago after getting bash from the android community.
and imo, the only real advantage to get a branded phone is you get easy warranty. if you bricked your phone for good during a flash or there is some problem with display, you can just walk in and get a replacement in seconds. LTE or not, or the 2GB ram, I dont think it's going to matter that much in daily use unless u use ur phone as a hot spot or something.
As far as development goes... usually international version is always better, may not be so obvious back in the galaxy S days since most of the US variant are still using the same backbone with minor variation. But ever since the S2 that need snapdragon to support LTE.... development pace kinda forked from there.
Hi. I haven't been able to find anything on this topic. I have an N7105 Galaxy Note II that I bought from an AT&T customer. The only problem is that I am using it on TMobile. (It is officially unlocked from AT&T, etc.) The problem now comes in upgrading to 4.3. TMobile uses Kies, but Kies only wants to upgrade me to 4.1.2, which I am already on (build JZO54K.1317UCAMH3). AT&T only updates OTA. When I check for OTA update it says it is checking AT&T's servers, but I am not so sure as it never finds anything. I think it is checking TMobile servers which aren't set up for OTA or don't recognize my phone type.
Also, I went into Best Buy to the Samsung rep, and they flashed my phone with their program and put a wonderful new version of 4.1.2 over my old one (nothing changed).
I am looking for solutions that will work for my phone to get 4.3, where I can get Galaxy Gear support, the photosphere camera, spen, etc.
My first question is, if I can find a TMOBILE Rom, will it work on my AT&T Note II (similar phone, but not the same? I have the N7105). (I would like TMobile goodies on there instead of AT&T. Any custom ROMs support that?)
Second, does the AT&T build (if I can find one) work with Gear well and does the photosphere camera work well? The Samsung rep said AT&T did not work with gear well presently on Note II and I read somewhere else where the camera was not working.
Any custom ROMS I should look at that would work on my phone and get me GEAR, SPEN, PHOTOSPHERE etc? I can't seem to find that.
Any suggestions or directions I should look would well be appreciated. Thank you!

N7105 "officially unlocked" by AT&T? LOL, funny...you SURE its a 7105? If it is, then you still have to wait, as they havent released 4.3 for North America yet as far as i know...well they did but then pulled it right away.
if you want all that extra samsung stuff to work you need to go with a touchwiz based 4.3 custom rom. It hasnt been released yet,so ergo, its not available for developers to make a custom rom out of it (stateside anyway)
sounds like keis is working fine, bc the 7105 is the UNLOCKED LTE North American version VERSION, the 7100 is the international version without LTE, and they are diffrent.
and you actually WANT T-MOBILE bloat ware? put this in the googler " Tmobile applications apk. good luck with that bc no one ever want to bundle "branded APKs" but then you say "instead of AT&Ts, are you implying that its already on there? and you went to Best Buy? they put it on a machine?
your best bet is to just sell that thing and buy a note 3 outright, doesnt sound like you need try and flash/root stuff.

Thanks. I was just so tired of using an AT&T phone on TMobile, I thought some of the related programs might be nice, but I see your point. They do have the upgrade for AT&T now, but I am told it is sucking battery life something fierce. Per your suggestion, I am looking for a good Note 3. Thanks!
Does anyone here know if the T-Mobile variant has a locked bootloader? And if so, is there any way to unlock it?
I'm wondering the same thing...I'll be going to look at it later today. Also I noticed the wifi model has the phone dialer installed so I'm wondering if the LTE T-Mobile model has phone function with the right sim installed?
I went to the T-Mobile store to look at the tab...They had no idea if the bootloader is locked or not. I'm sure it probably is but haven't seen anything about whether it can be unlocked yet. They also told me that the phone and SMS/MMS might work for a few days until the system detects it is a tablet, then those functions will be disabled. Make no sense to me why we can't have those functions on a tablet here in the US...And why even put the software on the tab if it can't be used? I told them to keep it and I'll get the WiFi tablet and just use the hotspot on my phone when I'm out and about. At least I'll get quicker updates (Maybe because Samsung) and I won't have the tons of their bloatware on the thing.
Any feedback?

If you can go into store and view the tablet go into settings and enable developer options by tapping on the build. Then go into developer options and see if there is a switch to unlock the boot loader. I just bought the wifi model from Best Buy and the boot loader can be unlocked. I have already installed TWRP and Magisk. I think maybe the LTE version may require a 7 day wait not sure.

from almost a year back-wondering was your wifi device branded like Tmobile or Verizon? sad to see no continuity in the thread-was hoping for someone to check out the lte device in Tmobile to see if it could be unlocked or if the option was there-not many resources on internet. Does Tmobile even carry this thing anymore? thanks

Unfortunately, I think I'm being held back by the whole 7-day oem-unlock hide thing. And all the ways around it have apparently been patched by samsung. So this time next week, I'll know for sure. As of right now, I believe it can be unlocked, but I don't know for sure.

thank you so much-well I will be receiving my device tomorrow. So let the race begin-ha ha kidding will see and compare. I did not know Samsung has this 7 day wait period (like Xiaomi has a 2 week period). Oh well, time will tell Thanks for keeping me posted and do let me know what you find. I did see a post somewhere on xda for the tab s6 where the poster said he could unlock the carrier device (think it was Tmobile) but he wanted to find out if he could root it. I will find the post (again it was an old one and of course, my response (recently) has not got any response. In fact, like many, he did not follow up with any posts thereafter (several months back).

Hello Arudis I got a used Tmobile variant. But I do not see any OEM unlock option in developer settings (a prerequisite before anything can be done for unlocking b/l). Which software version is yours having? (maybe it is different because you bought directly from Samsung but does not make sense if it is branded Tmobile). Could be that you have an older version of Android-appreciate if you could let me know which software version, CSC etc yours has. I might end up returning mine if there is no progress. Thanks.!
EDIT: Returned it. Great price and condition. Just too bad-did not want to take chances with it. Good luck-seems that you should be able to unlock it per that other post I sent.

Well. I'm struggling w/ it. CSC was TMB btw. This whole ordeal has been a mess of mistakes on my part. If i can't get this unlocked in the next day or 2 then i'll be returning it myself. I'd rather have a weaker tablet w/ root and a custom rom than a great tablet that i have to run stock.
Current software version is T867USQU3BTJ1 / T867UOYN3BTJ1 / T867USQU3BTJ1.
First thing I needed to know was whether or not I could unlock the tablet for other networks and in order to do that, I inserted a sim and logged into the tablet w/ my google account. I think this is where I made my first mistake as I have a sinking suspicion that inserting the sim somehow got rid of my oem unlock toggle. I know I had seen it before I started trying 2 unlock the sim because its always the first thing I do when I get a new device. But between the sim and the unlock process I ended up rebooting too many times and it auto-updated itself to the latest firmware. Since the latest firmware, I haven't seen that toggle at all. When I try to flash twrp w/ Odin, it fails.
@ this point I've decided that I will never buy another samsung device ever. I've had all manner of fun rooting every other device i've ever owned that wasn't a samsung device, however every samsung device has always been a supreme pain in the butt because I can't just do what i want w/ adb and fastboot.

I agree but this has more to do with (if not entirely) to U.S carriers playing games with dual devices for marketing-only here does this go on, where the carriers since time immemorial have blocked calls and texts on tablets (7 and above inches) giving some bs reasons (there was a time they had this tablet "plan" and phone "plans"-those have at least merged at least for Tmobile-otherwise their servers would detect a tablet and switch you automatically to a tablet plan for your 'convenience' and maybe even 'safety' lol)....so as long as they do this, Samsung (even Apple which does the same thing worldwide anyway) have tablets that do not have phone-like functions (Samsung has this call and text pairing with other Samsung phones a.k.a buy two of our devices please AND have two plans (so both Samsung and carriers win)...) on their U.S devices (Samsung at least to their credit have this :"unlocked" cellular variants in rest of the world, Apple does not even have that-yes, I know there is Google talk and all kinds of wifi-based workarounds but that is a different topic.
EDIT-if you compare the older devices like say tab S and tab s2 (the carrier variants and the international variants you will find out that even the speaker arrangements are different. I delved deep into this and found that even the boards were different-the lengths they went to do this to keep the versions distinct is amazing!) folks here on xda etc kept thinking for a while that they could simply flash the international ROMs (never mind the b/l block or hurdles) but the partitions were not even the same let alone the modems, and the actual hardware itself!
So blame the carriers-I do. So I never get these carrier devices (first time I tried my hand at it-no more)
Having to perform a soft boot tonight I noticed an "unlock bootloader command" in the softboot menu along with "cache clear" along with the always present "factory reset". Which I have to perform anyway because network mode locked to 3G only and no option to change it back so it has major conectivity issues. I'm thinking I may try the unlock bootloader command.
P.S. Mine is the tmo version

Out of curiosity which model number is your tmobile tab s6 lte? I have the verizon sm-t867v model which i re-flashed to the tmobile sm-t867u model using modified Odin 3.14. Unfortunately the bootloader remained locked down with no way to unlock it. Also what is this softboot menu your speaking of? I know samsung like the back of my hand and I've never heard of a softboot menu. Curious if this is something new im not aware of since I've been stuck with verizon brands the last 3 samsung devices I've owned...
Yes and Yes!
Can someone clarify something on the Tmobile Variant of the Tab S6?
This T867U definitely comes with the HARDWARE to text because i got it to work but it stopped.
So could this just be a matter of getting it 'Carrier Unlocked" so TMO cant decide what we do with our tab s6 since its payed for???

I have the same problem, I bought the device from eBay and now in Egypt, the device is locked to the T-Mobile network, and I don't know a way to unlock it. I cannot contact the seller to ask him about the T-Mobile subscription details, and after communicating with T-Mobile, they did not reply
