Samsung Galaxy Tab T-Mobile T849 - User Reviews

  • my tab does not make calls why please i really need your help

  • You are screw up, this old model is not upgradable all you can do is use what ever you see in there

  • You can force a new OS in (not an expert on ROMS, so you'll have to do research on that), but putting in a newer Android OS will most likely cause wacky effects or worse--completely brick the device.

  • Pease I need to upgrade the andriod version but how

  • sir my sgh849 not installed other aaps &not phone call why pls help me

  • Sir,pls give me by vpp one tablet samsung galaxy mobile.

  • It is a fine Tab though slow in response. How can I upgrade it for maximum efficiency? Thank you.

  • pse I need a step to step procedure on how to upgrade my samsung galaxu tablet sgh-t 849 so that I can make and recieve calls with it.

  • home del

  • link me the site

  • Upgrade ur t849 to a gt-1000 with the cyanogen software and u can make calls and have a 4.0.4 Android version

  • why i can't make call with my galaxy t-mobile t849. pls help me out. thanks

  • you know i like this product but i didn't use it cause i have no capacity to buy it.....

  • Yep, different modem drivers. One for 2G only allows calling and texting and slow data, the one for 2G & 2G allows data and texting but no calling. They are called JMF, JPZ or JK3. Never use JK3: it does not do anything. Look on xda-developers.com

  • T849 is the same hardware as GT-P1000. You can flash this firmware and so you can have a dialer. You can have your Tab even with Android Jelly Bean. For reference go to xda-developers.com This is a community page, not commercial.

  • My samsung Galaxy Tab T mobile does not have a dialer and how I make local call with it

  • my sumsung tab SGH-T849 dose not support dialer

  • i've been using galaxy tab.the problem is this that it doesn't support 3G,it is not working in dual mood,when i turn on my 3G so it loses it's signals show me a way out.thanks

  • How can I use this tab for normal phone call , do I need to install any application or what ?!

  • guys i have a problem with my galaxy tab..my mic is not working

  • Hello, I got a T849 this yeat used and there was no GSM calling possible, only texting (SMS). If you go to a page like xda-developers.com you will find how you can make your T849 a P1000 and enable calling. I also got Anroid Gingerbread 2.3.6 on it from sammobile.com. This is on your own risk but it does have to do with hocuspocus, it is just a normal update option. Hardware is the same as P1000, I also got UMTS with 2100 MHz on it, faster than EDGE.

  • UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POSTING: It is actually Samsung that disabled the GSM calling capabilities on that Tablet. Any Tablet that is designed exclusivly for AT&T OR T-Mobile will have call feature disabled (either because of APPLE or in order to rip off US costumers with separate data plans). GOOD NEW ARE: The new Europen p6200 and p6800 Tablets can definitely make GSM calls as been confirmed by two New Yok stores that sell these European versions of Galaxy Tab. You can use T-Mobile or AT&T simcards with those tablets. Just with T-Mobile you can't use their internet because these tablets have no HSDPA 1700 band for T-Mobile USA. If you want to stick with T-Mobile prepaid, then get a " Clear Internet" or "Verizon prepaid LTE" plans for those tablets!

  • DEAR GSM ARENA: It has been confirmed to me by american T-Mobile retail store staff' and by Samsung's technical support that T-Mobile USA has disabled the ability to use GSM bands of this phone for voice calls.

  • what is the specific model of this tablet?

  • yes its possible to upgrade it to gingerbread i run 2.3.6 official. its super awesome. i also run ICS RC on it. its 89% complete.

  • yes it is possible to update

  • I hope Apple goes bankrupt soon, because they stopped this perfet Samsung Tablet-Phone from being delivered to T-Mobile USA (because of the pending lawsuit in Europe against Samsung). This is the only 7.0 Tablet that has GSM Voice capabilities. Thanks God we still cqan get this Tablet-Phone from good guys like As for APPLE: Go to hell with your over-priced operating system and your eggo!

  • Is it possible to upgrade this to 2.3 Gingerbread?

  • I just got one two days back,it a beautiful peice,will get to know more after I am used to it.

  • aprox---23000 rups in delhi price...

  • bekar gatiya phn rakhna kaha hai

  • Deliberately its a good device. especially it is intended for better browsing experience and video calling. well, size is big to pack in your pocket. but is a wonderful device once you play on it. go for it when you've another mobile for your regular calls. but definitely its better than a laptop if you consider some constraints.

  • yeah i know but still lots of people wanna more features. and since it's being sold by telecom companies, it's supposed to be a tablet smartphone, just like its european cousins. (i heard that the galaxy tab sold in US is exactly same as those sold in Europe, same firmware, just because Samsung disbaled the voice calling feature for US market)

  • Pautang at ng mkabili nito.

  • please can this tab accommodate windows? I need it for my forex trading, am not sure android can do that, pls ineed to know if the tab can be for meta4 forex chat.

  • dont u hav ur own eyes its a tab pc

  • It's probably a good tablet but not a smartphone in US market. cauz it even can't make a phone call in the United States. I don't know why Samsung disable voice calling feature for US market, or maybe those telecom companies let Samsung do it.

  • Is this phone locked?

  • Here is a way to overclock your Galaxy Tab on Sprint

  • I have an android phone - (xperia) there are an array of voice recorders available from the android market. so if the tab doesnt come out with one you can easily download one.

  • dos he support video calls with skype??

  • Hi guys, I am using one and its a wonderful device. This Tab really works great in every aspect. Emails is very fast, the downloads is superfast. Gps is accurate and works well, photo quality is very good on the 7inch screen. Audio is very nice and with the headphones its pumping!Just sometimes when making calls wit the headphones the call receiver cant hear that good so you have to talk directly into the mic. This is overall 9/10 rating for me!

  • Does it have audio recorder?

  • yepp :)

  • guys, is it true that we can put our sim cards in here? thanks

  • Does de battery stay up to de required time? Wat advantage has Tab over notebook?

  • pls buy galaxy tab...cz it has incentive in our store..hahaha

  • much better if u buy laptop guys...cz galaxy tab is only for muti-media........

  • Hi. Actually, ipad has a better screen. The galaxy tab is just a normal tft. However, the galaxy tab has features that can bring ipad hands down. Why galaxy Tab is good- It has a normal sim card slot. It has 'Flash' for software It can be used to make phone calls?? Through bluetooh which the ipad cant. Unless u're kinda on skype and etc It can view documents like excel, word and pdf. The software is already installed. Not only can you view , you can also EDIT them on the galaxy tab. It also has the android market whereby you can download as many applications as you like. It's memory can be expanded through a micro SD card. Isn't that beautiful? Therefore- to me the Samsung Galaxy Tab is more of a tablet and for business use. It can replace your mobile phone. The iPad is a mere entertainment device. So think about what you need. And buy.

  • guys apple ipadand samsung galaxy tab both screen quailty same or ? coz apple ipad amoled but galaxy tft capactive with gorila glass dioisplay and video recording 720 p support or bcoz i saw the demo vide in youtube osm 720*480 but any idea abut video! and also skype available or not notifify me [email protected] i hav options galaxy tab or dell streak or apple iphone
