[Q]calls and sms with 3g version

HEY ALL YOU galaxy tab 10.1 owners...
was wondering is it possibile to insert sim and recieve sms...mms and make calls
thanks...
To be very short: nope. Not with the standard firmware.
Yes, you can send and receive sms and mms messages with stock firmware. It is not possible to make phone calls.
but is there a tweaked firmware that allows to make call

As far as I know, no.
as stated before sms and mms is working - call is not supported by HC :-(
thats sad. thought with all the talent we have here on xda someone would have already figured it out... from what i have reading....the tab has the hardware for it......
ah well keep hoping

i really hope and i think it has the hardware.. as tab 8.9 has that call feature.
Is there any way to disable the SMS feature as well?
If I insert my sim into my tablet, I only want to use the data connection (incase my phone battery dies and I cant use wifi tethering anymore).
I want my SMS to stay with the provider and only be delivered to my mobile when I charge it and switch it back on.
Is this possible?
I think you can uninstall the message app, but i am not sure. But why dont you just get a simcard for data only, it will also saving you for swapping the sim

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 3G T-Mobile making VOICE CALLS
I just purchased >Groove IP from the Market for $5.99> went in to my gVoice settings and forwarded the calls to my mobile phone and gtalk> and I can make and receive calls. I have tried it over 3G and wifi and it works flawlessly and it is very clear. Good Luck and Good Calling!
Got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G here in Ireland and am wondering if this can send and receive SMS?
Cheers,

Why would someone want to use the 10.1" GT for voice - apart from being cumbersome and unwieldy even if there is bluetooth.... This is more personal entertainment and to an extent an excellent business tool alternative especially when you do not wish to lug the laptop but still need email and similar functionality.

[Q] SGS2 M250S (Korean version) Can't send SMS: will changing ROM solve this?

I have the Korean version of SGS2. I can make phone calls, receive phone calls, connect via mobile internet and receive SMS but I can't send SMS. Will changing my ROM allow me to send SMS?
The service provider I'm using has the following bands
Service Provider GSM Frequency Band 3G Standard 3G Frequency Band
Globe Telecom 900 MHz/1800 MHz W-CDMA (UMTS) 2100 MHz
Thanks!
The M250S uses a different messaging standard from what i've heard. You can try changing ROM and see if that helps, if not then there's probably nothing much you can do unfortunately.
What ROM would you recommend for M250S?
The usual reason why MMS will not send is no details or wrong details for the Message Centre Number incorrect for network .

That is a possibility although I can't find a way to change this on the Galaxy S2.
Another possibility is the "unknown" label in the Settings>About Phone>My Phone Number section but I can't find any way to change it.
Got it! It was fixed by changing the My Phone Number in the SIM card which was done via CM (on my nexus s).
Thanks for your help guys!
P.S. Is there a way to close this topic?
More details please I have the same problem!
Hello all and please help,
I have the same situation with my korean SKT carrier phone m250s which I am using in South Korea. Every time I root my phone, I lose the capability to send and receive mms messages. Can someone please elaborate on how to fix this problem? It seems like there is an answer here already, but I'm not sure how to proceed and what exactly to change.
Much thanks

Are you able to view SMS messages that are in Korean? If so, could you tell me what ROM you're on?
Most recently, I rooted the phone with the red pill kernel and flashed litening rom 1.1 ics. Again the same issue arose. SMS worked fine, but for mms, it would say download, I'd press on it and nothing would happen. Installing and running handscent took care of this problem, but I still get the stock ssm/mms message that says download and it doesn't work!
I'm wondering if skt has fixed it so that when a non-stock firmware / kernel is detected, they disable mms, or imei file is changed.
But to answer your question, yes, I can receive and send files in Korean.
U should stay stock... Only one option use thirdparty apps like GO Sms Pro or so...

Try clearing data of the messaging app in setting>applications manager. Think it should fix it.

Still no contact will appear. I even use a new sim to avoid a contact duplication.

And also the viber contacts, viber seems to do not sync with my agenda...

I don't know why... and I'm looking for this info.
Try using an aftermarket app such as "Go SMS Pro" (it's free).
Does the problem still occur?

Problem with 3G
Hello,
I have this strange problem with my SHV-E210L, when I lose the carrier signal (i go in my garage for example), and when my phone finds the signal again, i can't get back automatically the data network (3G or G). then i must use the airplane mode or switch off the phone to recover the data network. Does anybody have this problem?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you have install an app killer, which will activate to stop your data network.

[Q] SMS problem

As said in the title, i've been experiencing some problems with SMS.
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 gt-p7500, and i've always been able to send sms with it. However, last week it started giving me an error whenever i tried to send a message. It just shows "Error. Message not sent"
Moreover, i can't even receive messages anymore, even if my phone says that the message has been delivered.
P.S.
The tablet is rooted and i'm using the stock ics rom, however it started doing this before i rooted it.
are you sure that the problem is with the tablet?

The sim card actually works with other devices.
the data connection is also working, so the problem is only with messages.
if the problem started befor rooting and you are on stock than

If the problem started before rooting and you are on stock than it is unlikely that there is somthing wrong with the rom.
did you check your apn settings?

yes, it says "failed to connect, try back later"
This happens only with the tablet, if I insert the sim in the phone everything works flawlessly.
EDIT:
Checked back again, the apn settings seem to be fine.
