Hello All,
Ive been on this site for some and just got a new gear s. So here is what im working with:
ATT Note 4 with Straight Talk Sim
I originally had a rooted Gear 720 set up on the note 4.
Now I see that the Gears S is a bit different. I see that you still have all the Blue Tooth and Notifications options as the one before but to actually make and recieve them the device requires a SIM.
So the question is what SIM? I assume Straight Talk but just want to make sure. Since this is a newer Gear it looks good but my other one had no issues getting calls in or placing them.
Thanks for the help

I really need help with this one. I just bought an ATT Samsung galaxy note i717 to use with simple mobile. Unfortunately, simple mobile data speed is so slow that I decided to go with Straight Talk. I got the Straight Talk sim card last night and immediately pop it in my galaxy note. Signal strength look excellent, call quality was also great.
My excitement ended when I decided to set up my data through the APN. Unfortunately, when I open the APN tab, ATT appears but when I try editing so as to make the necessary changes, the APN cannot be edited!! I have tried everything and now am at a lost! I have called ST and they say it should work since infact my phone is an ATT phone. This phone is also unlocked. When I place the simple mobile sim card in the phone, I can definitely edit T-Mobile in the APN settings. I called Samsung Customer service, and was told that Straight Talk is not part of their support network.
Please people, I really need help configuring this problem. Any help out there will be highly appreciated!!

This looks like a duplicate post that you have in the General thread.
I have an ATT Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 SGH-i497. I am trying to see if I there is a ROM that I can install on my device to make the GSM calls functioning just as in the Samsung tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100.
Please help...
Same problem with me.
Its hurting that even loading data packages becomes tedious.
I have to remove the sim card and insert it into some phone to do that since here in Uganda, Africa, we use codes to do that eg *100#
then reinsert it back into the tablet to use the data.

Voice Call Workaround
Sorry I'm late to this party. I recently purchased this tablet on eBay in pristine condition, and it is amazing. I started right away experimenting with voice calling. I purchased a SIM from Straight Talk with the usual unlimited plan (just like I would for a cell phone) and popped it in. The tablet had no problems recognizing the SIM and the phone number on it. Based on the hardware, at least from what I can see, the tablet seems to have the physical ability to handle calls so I suspect the inability to do so is software-related. However, I'm not a ROM expert (nowhere near - just a noob who knows enough to be dangerous), so I didn't feel like taking that risk. So, I found another solution - VOIP.
Since the tablet supports both WIFI and 3G/4G/LTE, a VOIP number that can be carried on those data streams would work. I tested this by creating a Google Voice number, and downloading the new Hangouts dialer app and got everything set up. Sure enough, I am now able to make and receive voice calls using this method. The SIM would ensure that I have data when no WIFI is available. Per the specs, this tablet should support HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100, so T-Mobile's $30/mo 5gig plan seems like a good cheaper option as I don't need the talk minutes anyway.
I know that a native voice solution would be preferable, but, in the meantime, this is a decent workaround that solved my problem, and hopefully could prove useful to someone.

DO I hate this Tablet?
I got it mainly for the sim. slapped a ST sim in and away I go. See a phone app in ROM Manager See all the would leave me to believe I can make in and out calls on this thing. As of Jan 15 is this a forgotten relic and a crock of stewed crap to mess with to get working? If so Im heading for ebay or so,ewhere I want a 10.1 that I can use ST on and have 4G LTE. Can anyone reply to me where and what I need to make this happen. I just bought this for 100 bucks and I wont smash it into the wall but not real interested in it. With GO SMS it gives me a Straight Talk number and I can text with it but no dialer with a phone app running in the background? geez kick in the purse anyone?
Pls i need custom recovery for samsung tab 2 sgh i497
What's up everyone.
Quick question to see if anyone has tried.... If I put a T-Mobile SIM in the OPX and a Verizon SIM as a secondary, I'm wondering what will happen?
I have a work phone and a personal and am tired of carrying both. I need the Verizon SIM to get ONLY phone calls and text messages. I don't care about data. That's what the T-Mobile SIM is for. Also, how would the OPX handle phone calls? Will is ask me each time I make a call which phone number to use?
Will this work? Anyhone tried it? I've got a OPX on order via eBay and should be here next week. If no one knows, I'll have to post back.

I dont think the OPX supports CDMA networks... Only GSM and even that is not fully supported.
Well, I received the One plus X on Monday and have had a few days to play around. I am truly impressed. The build quality is fantastic and it the PERFECT size for me. Slightly larger than the iPhone 6 but a 5" screen. With respect to signal and T-Mobile Bands.... I haven't run into any problems here in Southern California. LTE everywhere.
Unfortunately, my simple experiment of getting verizon voice and text setup as a second SIM did not work. It does detect the phone number but no service. Oh well.
Hi, I have an unlocked At&T galaxy s6 edge plus that I am trying to use on Verizon. After some trial and error it seems that the At&T phone only recognizes some frequencies that Verizon is using making it impossible to call and only be able to use text and data. Has anyone every swapped out the Antenna for a Verizon one onto a AT&T phone? I repair phones quite often so this will not be difficult for me. Just wondering if it should work in theory so i can make calls and use the phone as usual.

I'm going to start running and I don't want to carry my phone around. I am looking into buying a used Samsung Gear S for my runs (answer calls if/when needed & play music).
I searched but I couldn't get a straight answer.
Can I use my current sim card (nano) to the Gear S when needed? Will TMO locked my sim out if noticed?
I don't plan to use the watch other than when I don't want to carry my phone (running or other sport activity).
Thanks in advance
Anyone know the answer? I also heard that it is best to buy an unlocked (AT&T) Samsung Gear S.
Any information is appreciated.
