[Q] Use wifi rom on LTE tab without LTE? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I only use on wifi. It's there a way I can tweak a Wifi rom so that it works on my LTE Tab. Again, I don't need LTE to work.
Thanks

Nope you're going to have to wait until a compatible release of CM9 is available. If you apply a wifi ROM you'll most likely get boot loops. The worst that can happen is when you go back to stock LTE ROM you end up not able to bypass SIM activation leading you to have to go to Verizon to get it fixed.
I'd sit tight and wait if I were you and just use the stock 3.2, perhaps root it and run pershoot's kernel.
---edit---
I stand corrected. Look in the development section for the KANG release for LTE. It's alpha at the moment as are the other releases for wifi but you'll get to have a decent daily driver if you don't need camera support or 3G/4G.

[Q] touchwiz/ verizon help

i just bought a verizon galaxy tab 10.1 because i was gonna use 4g when i meeded it. basically i will call verizon and set up a month of 4g. but as of right now it is only wifi. how would i be able to update to touchwiz when it comes out on verizon if i dont have 4g and is there a way to do it on a verizon tab trough wifi.
thanks
You need to connect to a network with internet access. Something like a home wireless network or Starbucks. Do you have a wireless router at home to connect to?
i am connected to a wifi signal but the verizon galaxy tab 10.1 doesnt have the samsung account sync thing so i cant get the update over wifi. and when they release it over 4g i wont be able to get it that way because i dont have a data plan set up.

Can you setup an account at samsung.com with your PC then go into Settings on the tab and add the samsung account with the same credentials?
i dont even have the option to link or sync a samsung account. there is no option. i only have gmail and corporation.

To truely answer this you're going to have to wait with the rest of us for Verizon to put out the touch whiz update. They haven't even announced it. I'm in NYC and tried the Samsung "update event", but I was told that it was available for the WiFi only models and we would have to wait for Verizon to release the update. Don't know for sure if your LTE radio will need to be active to receive the update whenever it does finally come, but keep in mind that it is through the LTE radio that the device communicates with Verizon's servers...
Dang that really is a dilemma you got... Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to update via wifi since it's a Verizon model. The carriers have control of firmware updates and usually they're distributed OTA through the carrier networks. There's no official word on anything yet so don't be too concerned though. Either way, I'm sure that after it's released someone on xda will be able to provide it for the public.

[Q] Disbale Edge and G on Galaxy Note, UCLA1, OS 2.3.6

Does anyone know how to unlock RAT access on this version (it is "restricted" in the menu accessed via *#*#197358640#*#*, *#*#4636#*#* does nothing iether), or any type of hack or exploit that can disable TEMPORARILY the Galaxy Note's ability to even detect the presence of any network below 4G? My phone is an AT&T branded device, is NOT currently rooted, and running stock ROM version 2.3.6 (latest update from AT&T) I am not a newb with rooting and such, but would prefer not to root unless no other option exists. Can I use any toys in BackTrack 5 (if you dont know what this is, ignore that I wrote it here ) to access the Note's ROM by chance???
Kernel: 2.6.35.11

Cheers!
Have tried the same thing by every means I can think of ...
Sadly I've not been successful either. Including root access and 3 different roms. I've not found any method to get below 4g on my ATT note.
Edge is what I need inside my office to get basic service. But I'm failing.
Sorry this isn't a solution, but your not alone in your search.
I've pm'ed a few devs and requested a possible patch to toggle the network switches, and I'll post a reply here if a patch can be found ....g

I decided to go ahead and ROOT> used ODIN. Still stock ROM, still no joy in controlling network bands manually.
Right. Like the service menu says-- restricted
3 roms I'm aware of have these network switches ....and none of them function.
I'm not sure if development is going around them as a non-issue, or the code hasn't been cracked yet.
But I'm seriously considering dropping the note for my inspire, as no service in my office is a show stopper.
I'll give it another month ....then it's bye bye note, and hello 2g in my office that works .....g
The Canadian rom/modem for Rogers is rumored to have a working switch, but all at&t modems are RAT restricted so no developer attacks that issue. Too bad. I want the option.

well,
we have the rom...and we have the modem....
So I guess the question is...If we load up the rogers rom/modem, and set the PTA apn settings from ATT, will it run well enough to test ?
Looks like I've got my evening planned.......LOL
I suppose I could import the stock rom APN's ( all 1352 of them ) into the rogers rom, and have a fighting chance anyway....g
I always fancied a free evening to try it. I almost did yesterday, then Flapjaxxx put out an update.

A friend of mine has NFC tags in his breifcase that shuts down his SG3 and then he uses an older phone (a Blackberry) in the office.

Effective...but 2 phones ??
What a drag to have two devices every day....
now I gotta wonder, how come I can take my Note sim card, drop it into my inspire, and have every band available and a switch to pick them.
But when I put that card into my note, I'm forced to do the network bounce all day, and no switch with a RAT restriction ??
Is this an onboard chipset that is blocking this feature ?
What is RAT, and how do i kill it ?..:good:..LOL.....g
The modem.bin is the file that defines the way the modem chip interfaces with the rom (sort of). At&t has restricted access to the usual features of the modem like the band selection option.
The Rogers modem isn't restricted. But the rom developer has to include the band selection in the rom, or the user has to select from the service menu. The band selection apps in the market are just a shortcut to the service menu.
Well...
I attempted the Canada rom/modem combo last night. and to be honest, I didnt get past the setup screens.
the phone hung on those screens, and I had to power down and boot recovery to restore.
I'm very surprised that It froze with just a modem...but it's without doubt a different animal...
I'll try again on the rom only, as i've used it before without issue, then see what parts I can bleed into the rogers modem prior to flashing again....g
Well, I flash the latest from flapjaxxx. Love the ROM, and the UCLF6 modem is a bit faster. Still no control of bandwidth frequency, but I am so happy with the baked OS, that I can tolerate it for a while. Still on the lookout for working options, but I don't want to run my Flash binary through the roof iether.... Using TWRP btw, I cant stand CWM.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found out how to unlock the RAT menu for ICS?
Saurom 2.3.6 actually lets me switch between HSPA and LTE successfully, but I would like to be able to do this in ICS.
Thanks!
As long as you use a stock at&t modem it will have the RAT restriction.

[Q] what modem do I use with CM 10.1 M3?

Hi,
I am using CM 10.1 M3. I haven't updated my modem in a long time. It is I717UCLF6. Is that the right one? How do I know which one to use?

It's kinda hard to answer which modem you need without some more details. It's also a personal preference based on where you live. Some modems/radios work better in certain areas than others. What network are you on, AT&T? I'm on AT&T and heard the latest modem for our i717 is the i717UCMB4. You can flash that one in recovery. I used it and it works but for some reason the i717UCLD3 modem is working better for me. I got that modem when I used odin to install this rom, then flashing my favorite rom on top of it. Some people say the UCLF6 modem works better for them. You can get that one here and flash thru your recovery. Sorry I can't find the i717UCLD3 flashable zip. Maybe someone else has a link so you can flash between all 3 and see what works out best for ya.
No need to do any modem flashing. LF6 is the latest and greatest modem available.
Updating.....AT&T released 4.1.2 and a new baseband/modem which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261713 and is flashable from custom recovery.
I'm testing out a possible switch to T-Mobile. Had AT&T unlock my phone today and got a prepaid T-Mobile SIM in it. I'm getting H+ (LTE?) speeds while doing data transfer and then it drops back to 3G when data isn't being used heavily. I'm on UCLF6. Although I've had this phone for a year, installed tons of ROMs, compiled my own kernel, etc. I'm a noob when it comes to modems and have just used whatever worked. What's the advantage of using a "T-Mobile" modem if UCLF6 seems to be working on T-Mobile anyways? Do you get more speed out of it?
I don't want to lose AT&T compatibility yet as I just got the prepaid T-Mo to test out (been getting crappy reception with AT&T at work and tired of the expensive plan of minutes I don't use). If T-Mo improves my speeds at work I'll probably just pay to cancel my AT&T contract and transfer my number, but for now I'm just testing.
Well I am not sure about the baseband/modem issues on T-Mobile but most important would be the GSM Bands/LTE are compatible. As some AT&T phones don't support 3G/LTE frequencys T-Mobile use. If you are using a prepaid SIM it may not even support LTE for example Straight Talk on AT&T supposedly will only use HSPA+ .

When will T-Mobile release 2.17.401.1 with Wifi-Calling support?

Considering T-Mobile just released 1.27.531.8 OTA, and there are many many updates that have already been released, most recently 2.17.401.1 with Android 4.2.2 which is really nice, anyone think they will release 4.2.2 update soon? I like 4.2.2, especially coming from a Nexus 4, but I cannot use it on a daily basis because I heavily rely on wifi-calling. Many of the buildings I work in have little to no reception for any carrier lte or otherwise so wifi calling is huge.
Anyone know what needs to be tweaked in order to get wifi-calling working on 4.2.2? Does T-Mobile have any phones with wifi-calling on 4.2.2 currently?

Yes mine too -- works great on 4.1.2. Recently 4.2.2 JellyBean ROMs have come out for the HTC One. Unfortunately Wifi calling is not implemented in any of these ROMs.
I believe the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the only T-Mobile phone that is on 4.2.2 and has wifi calling implemented. Probably have to grab all the necessary files off that phone to get it working on the HTC One, otherwise we are waiting on T-Mobile to release the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One.

yes. i believe the devs on the international forum are waiting for the 4.2 wifi calling apk or whatever it is so if you can get it from someone on the s4 forum and give it to a dev over there they might be able to work with it

[Q] tmobile wifi calling on cyanogenmod 10.xx

How to get this on?
I have cm10, unlocked bootloader and am enjoying the fact that I can use my data for emails for work... but I live in LA, which apparently is rural and has no cell phone reception with this provider (t-mobile).
Is there an app that would do tmobile's wifi calling, like in previous releases of CM? is there a way to extract the files from the original build (ICS/JB) and put them on the CM?
I really need it, and it seems all the other threads on this die.
I don't believe it's possible to side load it without official support as Wi-Fi Calling is kernel related.

Maybe you can just flash back to stock if you're that desperate.

Wifi calling is a T-mobile feature/app. It is only on T-Mobile branded and modified Android phones such as TouchWiz on the Galaxy S3. You could buy the Nexus 5 straight from T-Mobile and it won't have wifi calling either because the version of android on it is pure, T-Mobile doesn't touch it at all.
So if you want wifi calling, you need to go back to stock rom or find a TouchWiz based rom such as Dandroid. Dandroid is nice because it is a TouchWiz rom but is themed to look like AOSP and even has similar features but keeps the important TouchWiz stuff like wifi calling.

wifi calling is now open source, so now its just time for someone to get a hold of it and work on it for aosp roms.
