Hey. i Just found site offering spare parts of the GTab.
I found a 3G module.
My question is if it is possible to upgrade a WifiOnly Tab with a 3G module? Do i have to solder a lot?
Or doesn't the mainboard of the wifi version even have this solder pins?
you have an galaxy tab 10.1 wifi !!!
or do you really think you can simple build in an 3g module without space problems and slots??

The slot is not a problem. I can buy the housing with the 3g slot and replace it.

Hi,
I ve read that we have Wifi-chip inside but it is not activated ! Is it true? Does anybody have Wifi on his dual touch?
Thanks !
From what I know only the Japaneese version has the wifi enabled. We don't know if the wifi can be enabled or not on european model. There are other threads in this forum where some people are trying to active the wifi, but there is uncenrtainty about the presence of the wifi antenna inside the device.
Bye!
Thanks,
The guy on another website was telling that he had opened his touch and had seen the wifi chip but not the GPS chip...

I have T-Mobile and I want to buy the International Samsung Galaxy S II. I understand that the International version does not support T-Mobile's 3g frequency band, and I would be limited to 2g speeds. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to buy an external antenna to be able to use 3g speeds. Or even better, is it possible to replace the internal antenna?
No and No.
DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR GS2.
Sorry for the bold, but despite there being no rhyme or reason for it, I came across a thread which illustrated this fact from multiple people who tried external antennas, and here's what happened. The antenna worked, they thought all was good, then they disconnected the antenna, no signal. EVER again. I guess what happens is when you plug in an external antenna it pushes some contacts apart which breaks contact with the internal antenna permanently (supposedly a few that were very handy with a VERY tiny needle were able to fix it). Don't ask me why Samsung would design it this way while leaving the plugs exposed but that's what I read. Just wanted to make sure you didn't find out the hard way
In other words, the jack is there, and you can find adapters for those jack(s), but you really don't want to, unless you want to ONLY use external antennas for the rest of time (not most people).
EDIT: Whoops, forgot to add the most important part. Antenna has NOTHING to do with the fact that the radio doesn't support t-mo's frequencies. It's like having an antenna designed for HDTVs, and hoping to get hdtv on your standard def tv. Antennas don't "translate", they're all just fancy coathangers.

"antenna has nothing to do with GSM OR CDMA bands." its the radio chip that does the work.

Understood, thanks for your help guys. Is there a way to mark this as [Solved] or something?

Yes. Edit your first post to an eye-popping "SOLVED"
Hi, im unable to use 3G on my Samsung GT-P7500, and i don't know what is the problem. Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also tried my SIM card on other smartphones and it worked, i could surf the internet wihtout a single problem.
First of all you have to tell us : Tab version is it P7500 or else? then ROM Version... and check the APN settings to match your provider.
Mine did that on the first day I got it. Problem was I stuck a micro sim with adapter in it and while removing it broke 2 pins in the sim tray. They are so small and weak I didn't even know they broke at first.
So I ordered an original replacement off eBay for $10, popped off the back cover and put the new one in. Tested with a regular sim and all was good again.
Maybe you have done the same thing. If it doesn't detect the sim then it's most likely the sim tray.

Does you table recognised SIM already, means asking for a PIN?
If yes, make sure you have right APN settings! With a network monitoring app you can check your signal, if you have proper 3G coverage.

Weird issue, I get no phone or data service unless I am in an AT&T hotspot. Anybody know what the issue could be?
Samsung Galaxy S2 i777
I've had the phone about 2 years and have had no problems until last week when I changed out the micro usb port.
Any thoughts are welcome, particularly related to how access within a hotspot is different than outside of one.
Thanks!
Steve
I've come to understand that the micro-usb port for these phones is tied to the network radio antenna, and there are different versionsrevisions of the part available. Considering that the wifi system is not related, it makes sense that you are able to connect to "hot-spots". I've read mention of people finding success after switching to a different "version/revision" (printed on the port/radio) of the unit.
I have also read that users are cutting the board to separate the new USB charge port from the useable data radio antenna.
If I find a link to one of those posts, I'll link it here, but that's my guess.

Edit: Here is the same issue, so definitely related to charge-port replacement...
- This post says that genuine equipment matters
- Here is a post citing success by separating (cutting) the useable antenna from the damaged USB port.
- This page finds success via cutting the board, or using one particular ebay seller. good luck.

Replaced old usb and new antenna -- still no service
Update: I put the old usb port in and still no service (recall that i used to have service with old usb, just couldn't charge).
Also, put in new antenna, and still no service.
Now the question is why would I no longer have service with my old usb?
Are you sure that you plugged that antenna cord back onto the board? The original should certainly give you signal if it did before.
No firmware changes? no apn changes? Was there anything else that you changed recently?
Hello everybody!
Today I have read about connecting 3G modem to Android tablet via OTG USB.
So, can't we, owners of non-4G S III, connect 4G modem to S III and make it working?
Maybe, is there a way to take a case, which will cover back of the phone, and to hide under case a 4G dongle,and connect it via cable with charging-and-OTG-in-one. After that we put one sim-card without internet to phone, and one sim-card with 4G internet to this dongle.
May we make 4G dongle working on Android, especially S3?
P.S. Yes, I know, that it's better to buy another phone, but I want to do some experiments with this device.
Sure, go right ahead and let us know how you get on.
You can buy a 4g phone, better spec than the s3 for £150 with lollipop included.

Your tricks sound like Project Ara to me! That's technically impossible!
