DCan someone please help me, i have the tmobile 7" 3g galaxy tablet. All the Time I try to access the Internet I get a tmobile pop up page that asks me to log in. Now I have flashed the 2.3,3 (P1000) gingerbread, plus its has been rooted as well, however its still running EDGE. Now if I flash the 3g modum would that get rid of the tmobile page that keeps asking me for my phone number and password..? Or is there somthing else that needs to be done to FULLY wipe this page of my tablet. Can someone please get back to me as soon as possible, this is really stressing me out. I'm only able to use my tablet through wifi at this point and i would like to use my 4g (GSM) sim card as well, this is why I purchased this tablet, I'm not trying to go through the trouble of constantly looking for a wifi connection when im already paying for unlimited talk, text and web. Please get Back to me at [email protected].. THANKS too everyone..
Here is my dilemma: If I am using a phone on Tmobile that has absolutely No data plan at all, but I want to upgrade to an unlocked AT&T, will it recognize that it is a smart phone and try to put on a data plan automatically? Or will it not recognize the IMEI number and let me continue to use the phone with absolutely no data plan at all?
Hopefully that was not too confusing... I need an upgraded phone for someone, but can't have a data plan at all, and they really want a smartphone.
Come on, surely someone has wondered this before and tried it out? I tried to search on google, but couldn't find anything. Don't let me down guys!

Searching would have told you the answer to your question. But I am in a good mood so Ill answer you. Unless they have the IMEI in their system then no it wont show up as a smart phone, but if they do then they will see it and switch you. As long as it is unlocked from another carrier then odds are they wont have it in their system. They have not started sharing IMEIs yet.
Hi, Might sound stupid but I was wondering if anyone has any info on whether this phone can be flashed from Verizon to Metro, and if so would anyone be able to tell me how to do this? I've flashed custom ROMs but never from one carrier to another. I understand I will also have to have the ESN added to Metro inventory before the phone can be activated. I was also hoping maybe someone could point me to a reliable (and hopefully cheap) service for doing so since the clostest Metro corporate store is over an hour away.
Thanks in advance for any and all help and info. If this has been posted/answered before, I'm sorry. I Googled and searched here and other large phone forums and found lots of posts for flashing other phones and lots of dead end links.
Also nice would be some info on restoring web and MMS on this phone. Again, Please and Thanks in advance.
to day I stated to have problems with my internet on my SGP621 LTE I'm on T-Mobile and i'm getting the connect me messages basically t-mo want's me to get a separate tablet data plan. I was wondering if there is a work around so that I can use my tablet as a regular phone with data internet access without an additional data plan which I would not pay for. is there a way to make my tablet SPG621 to show as the regular Z3 phone and not as a tablet so that I can use the internet 3G/4G LTE thank you:crying:
The only way I could think of is to root your tablet, then ask around in the custom ROMs section for your tablets model for a ROM with phone capabilities.

I don't know how likely that's going to happen. but what I can say is that this s?cks I was using my tablet as every day phone now no internet or mms just phone calls and text only, I was hoping that maybe an xposed module that any one may know about it would be much appreciated thanks
So, your tablet was a Phablet? (An almost tablet-sized phone)

well you could say that but now t-mo knows its a tablet and won't let me use the internet. I was wondering I change the IMEI with one of my old phones could it work? and if it could does any one knows of an app that can do just that
great job on the thread title! didnt even bother to read what you wanted help with. and YES, I'm just replying to tell you that you should give at least some information when choosing your thread title.
sorry for the inconvenient but for Me it is a very problematic issue no being able to use the internet. by the way thanks for your help
I have the same issue right now, and I have a feeling others will continue to report the same. I can still make calls and send text messages, but T-Mo has blocked my data. I get redirected to the 'Connect Me' page, and after I click 'Get Started,' I get sent to a page that has an 'OK' button and unviewable text hidden above it. This is not a tethering redirect, because I cannot access my e-mail nor the Play Store either.
It seems T-Mo will no longer let anyone use the SGP621 as both a voice and data device, we will have to select one or the other?
I'm too have the same problem that's why I stated this thread hopping to find a solution to this problem, I don't know if by changing the IMEI will make an effect on the identification of this tablet to a phone/phablet so that it is not recognize as a tablet, my xperia z ultra does work normal that's why I ask, if any body can help us pleas let us know on how and what to do to disguise the tablet as phone/phablet thanks
I haven't run into the same problem (though it doesn't mean I won't). I'm now also wondering who knows a work around to this.
Last I checked, changing the IMEI was not exactly... legal per say. But at this point, eff it. Anyone know how to change the IMEI on the Z3TC?
it may not be legal but what t-mo is doing is worst and I know it's wrong but if you use and IMEI from a old phone of yours that you don't use any more I think its ok? right. I just would like that some one can tell us how to do it
Possible Solution?

I work for T-Mobile and have also have the same issues with my Z3tc I, being a store manager, have limited resources available to me but i plan to submit a ticket in hopes of resolving this issue, it would help if i had multiple issues to report however. If you folks are willing to help me out with this (power in numbers as they say) i think we may have a chance of getting a fix, what i need from each of you is your T-mobile telephone number that you've been using your Z3TC on and i can submit this ticket. Email your name and phone# to [email protected] and I'll do my best
Need more help

I've got about 5-6 people's info so far, if i could get 10 or so i think we could make some headway here. I have tried SIM swaps, tried using a regular z3 for a couple days and switching back, tried rooting and IMEI changing nothing has worked thus far... this seems like the best chance here.
Changing/altering IMEI numbers is illegal in most areas.....and definitely not a topic discussed on XDA.
Thread closed.

Hi developers,
I've tried to find an answer on this forum but couldnt find it..
So.. While traveling in India i've bought an P20 Lite and didnt have any problems using it in India. 4G and good connection everywhere with an Indian carrier.
However, now being back in Europe all i have is H+ internet and terrible connection (Tele2 carrier). Does this have to with it being an 'indian huawei'? I read something that it has to do with gsm/frequency bands?(im nog advanced in tech stuff). I have an ÁNE-AL-00 that doesnt have 2600 bands(?) while my carrier (tele2) uses this..
Is there anything i can do about this? Would rooting / changing software help? Or am i fcked and do i have to buy a new phone?
Best,
