Samsung Galaxy Activation

Do I have to purchase a data plan to activate my new Galaxy Tab? I wanted to take it home and get familiar with it before heading out on the road, but when I just tried to activate the device at home on our WiFi, I can't get to first base.

Thanks for the help. I ended up storming into the retail store where I bought this unit and a different salesperson helped me get started before I left the store. I highly recommend anyone else do this as well if they want to get off to a little easier start than I did.

  • My husband has a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and can't receive my text from iPhone 5

    Why can't my husband and daughter who are both using Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 Active not able to receive text from my iPhone 5 and my daughter's iPhone 4S?

    I have a simple solution.
    The person who has the iPhone sending you the text messages your are not getting, has to press and hold the blue message box until the menu pops up and one option is to "Send as Text Message" tap that - have them send another new message to you, if it is blue, not green, repeat. I beleieve if you do that twice, the iPone will always send you a text message, not an iMessage.

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Active

    I had bought a Galaxy S6 just about a month and a half or so ago, and am pleased with it... except one thing... it's not exactly "me-proof" like the S6 Active: water proof, dust proof, dog proof, ect. I was wondering if I could possibly trade this phone in for the one best fit for me. Thanks.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with your device concerns!
    I’m afraid that as you are outside the 14 day buyer’s remorse period, we are unable to accept a return of the Samsung Galaxy S6. If you have purchased the S6 via AT&T Next, one option would be to pay off the installment plan, allowing you to upgrade to the S6 Active and sell your current device. Another option would be to upgrade another line on your account if applicable, and perhaps another user on your account can use the S6.
    I hope this helps!

  • Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 Activation

    Hello, im at the moment not in Verizon coverage but i have my new Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab and when im trying to first use it its asking me to activate it by using micro-sim in Verizon net. So the problem is for another 2 months im in Afganistan and all i want for now is just use it as a pocket pc , i mean just play games, reading book etc, and so how can i activate it while im out of the coverage of Verizon net?  Thanks

    Hopefully Verizon will be NICE and help you out!
    I was NOT happy when I received my S.G 10.1 (via Amazon) and learned that I HAD to visit a Verizon store in order to get the Verizon SIM and "activate" the device to able to use it for anything at all (beyond being a shiny paper-weight!)
    FYI - I was able to activate the tablet and immediate "suspend service" (no monthly fee) so the machine was working properly and could be used with a local WiFi connection, but not with a Verizon over the air signal.

  • Wi-Fi won't work when mac restarted after connecting Samsung Galaxy s3 via USB

    I've been having this problem for a few months now, and it's stopping me from syncing my Samsung Galaxy s3 (I changed from iPhone and expect responses telling me to go back, but that's not helpful right now).
    1.) I have Wi-Fi connection working fine on my mac,
    2.) Connect Galaxy s3 to sync it with Kies,  - WIFI working fine on mac still however notice Samsung modem connection appears in my network connections on mac.
    3.) Remove Galaxy s3 and at some point in the next few days reboot my mac.
    4.) Wifi is automatically switched off, when turned on, can't find any networks. Forcing me to go to network connections, make the wifi service in-active and then click apply, then remove the service all-together and click apply. Then reboot my mac and create a new wi-fi connection into my network connections to finally get wi-fi to work again. Wi-Fi automatically connects back to my wifi network.
    I'm sick of doing this every time I connect my phone. Mountain Lion 10.8.2, MacBook (alluminium unibody) 8gb ram, 2.4 ghz core2Duo.
    Any ideas how to prevent the samsung creating it's own modem in my network connections?
    Anyone with similar set up experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks
    Matt

    Try accessing the router through your favorite Web Browser and enabling Wi-Fi through there. The Wi-FI should be enabled by default on this router.
    Web Admin: http://192.168.1.1/
    The default login should be one of the following:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1
    admin/verizon
    admin/verizon1
    If the username and password is admin/password, the modem will ask you to change at least the password to something else. Once in, you should be able to check the Wi-Fi settings and network name. Finally, once you've saved the settings, take a backup of the modem's configuration file if possible, and then reboot the modem to ensure the settings stick.
    As a note, I strongly suggest using WPA2-PSK AES Encryption as the only form of encryption. Mixed mode or WEP can cause issues, especially with Apple Devices, and presents a security risk to the network. Also as a note, make sure SSID Broadcasting is enabled for the ActionTec. Otherwise, you won't see the name by simply scanning for it, and will have to manually enter in the name of the network.

  • Can't Receive Calls On New Samsung Galaxy S4?

    I'm unable to receive calls on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4. I only activated the phone two days ago. When I call my number, it goes directly to voicemail.
    Everything else works fine - I can make calls, send and receive text messages, synchronize my e-mail, etc. It's only impossible to receive calls on the phone. I've tried calling both from a cell phone and a landline. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Ashley,
    I contacted a Verizon sales rep in Bethesda on Friday and he informed me that the problem is due to my telephone number not being ported correctly (I transferred my old number from my previous carrier). I have since resubmitted my porting request, so this should be resolved soon. Would you be able to give me an estimated time to completion of my request?
    Another issue came up more recently - I am not receiving text messages from certain numbers only. Do you have any idea why this would be the case?
    Thanks!

  • Can't find hardware icons on android samsung galaxy s4?? Firefox OS 31.0 SGH-I537

    Read all the topics and there is no icon for hardware on samsung galaxy s4 active phone. There was an icon in April 2014. After April update, numerous factory resets in August/flashed and other updates I can't find the hardware icon. I signed up to be a volunteer and I received a message to activate and introduce myself which I did. I have received no reply from any mentor from Mozilla support group.

    Did you flash Firefox OS to your phone?
    Or are you using Firefox for Android?

  • How to make a video call on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and have been unable to make a video call.  The settings are set to allow it but I am missing something.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's a great feature and phone Skydiver13!
    To turn HD Voice and Video Calling ON, you can go to Apps> Swipe to tap Settings>Tap Advanced Calling> Tap Advanced Calling again> Tap the Advance Calling Toggle to turn ON.
    To make video calls, you can go to Apps> Contacts> Select a contact> Tap Call icon> From Active Call screen, tap Camera. (The caller will have to accept the change to a video call).

  • Samsung Galaxy s3 bluetooth text message

    I have the new Samsung Galaxy S III and am not able to get the text messaging feature in my Ford Sync to work.  I previously had a Droid2 and had no problems.  I contacted Ford and they said that I needed to have the Message Access Protocol (MAP) active on my phone.  I can't find that anywhere!  When I turn message notification on in the car, I get a message that says "unsupported" - anyone else having this issue??

    SYNC - Make sure MAP and message notification are both on.

    http://ford-life.com/2011/10/11/common-android-device-sync-issues/
    If that does not work, try disconnecting and resetting the phone and/or SYNC. That did fix the problem for the Droid Razr Maxx, but sadly not for my S3.

  • Anyone having problems with the Samsung Galaxy Stellar touch screen after a screen lock?

    My Samsung Galaxy Stellar won't respond from the lock screen, about once a week.
    What touch screen issues are others having?
    As a workaround, I have to remove the back cover and battery, replace, and turn the phone on.

    So far I have had 3 of these phones in as many months.  After about 3 weeks, the phone will suddenly lock up on me, and will either go into a boot loop, or just become unresponsive.  Couldn't even do a factory reset on the first one.  In both cases, I can see activity on the wifi indicator, so it's not like the phone is completely frozen, but you can't do anything with it since the screen is.  I really like this phone, but if this third one does the same thing, I'm going to throw it out the window, and cancel my 7 year old account!

    Hi Allan,
    Sorry for the rant up there..   Thanks for your quick response.  I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore.  Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone.  I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me.  I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed.  The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings.  However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out.  Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it?  I don't think there is....

  • Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2 Update

    When will Verizon approve the Android 4.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?  The slowness of Verizon to approve updates is inexcusable!  And to that I'll say, "I'm done!"  I am so disgusted with Verizon and their inability to provide updates to what is supposed to be a "Nexus" device.  It's not like they have to manipulate around manufacturer software.  It's pure Google operating system.  Load and test the drivers for CDMA and LTE and then launch the update.  At the MOST that should take no more than 2 weeks!  Since I have had my Nexus on Verizon, I have not recieved a single update prior to 2 months!  Android 4.2 update from Android 4.1 is so miniscule and, might I add, required no additional new drivers, so what is the hold up Verizon?  Where is the Android 4.2 update?  And, yeah, I know some techy out there is going to say, " well why don't you just jailbreak and load it yourself?"  Because I shouldn't HAVE to jailbreak my phone.  It's not a matter of can I do it, it's why can't I do it without jailbreaking from Verizon?  They sold this phone initially by claiming it to be a "pure Nexus" device and it's been nothing of the kind ever since!  So I say, "I'm done!"  That means that when my contract is up, I'm return to AT&T!  They have upgraded the towers in the area that I live and my friends on AT&T say their signals are even better than Verizon's.  AT&T's new LTE towers download at faster speeds than Verizon's too.  I would have happily stayed with Verizon if they would have only taken the Pure Nexus experience seriously!
    To those who have stated that I've said this for Jelly Bean 4.1, you are correct!  The only reason I'm still here is because of the hefty penalty Verizon will charge me for terminating my contract early.  My contract doesn't expire until December 2013 so it would be a rather hefty penalty to pay.  But Android 4.2 has confirmed that Verizon refuses to change their position on slow updates, so when my contract is up (as I believe I stated on 4.1), you won't see REDNIBKRAM on Verizon anymore! 
    It appears as though the Verizon "love freaks" just can't seem to get the message.  I'm not saying that the updates aren't difficult, I'm saying that if Verizon chooses to use CDMA technology over GSM and that requires them to jump through hoops to get updates completed, then they should have NEVER agreed to carry a "pure Nexus" device, or at the very least, should have NEVER advertised the device as such.  My whole point is that Verizon LIED TO ME and told me that my phone was a "pure Nexus" device when I purchased it and switched from a GSM phone company (AT&T) when, in fact, they knew that I would NOT be getting updates directly from Google as the GSM versions of the SGN do.  At the very least, if Verizon really wanted to make this right, they would offer to allow anyone with a SGN phone who was lied to when they purchased it to exit from their existing contract without penalty, so we can purchase a "TRUELY PURE NEXUS" phone direct from Google or provide us with a choice of another phone (Windows Phone, iPhone, etc.) without having to renew a 2 year contract. 
    All I'm saying is that if Verizon won't or can't update the phones they themselves advertised as a "pure Nexus" phone, then they should make it right to the people they lied to.

    I didn't go back to AT&T for JB in August because the of VERY HEFTY penalty I will have to pay for cancelling my contract early and I got the Android 4.1 JB update.  Once I received the update and because the the penalty, I decided to give BIGRED another change at the next update.  I thought, "maybe it was such a huge update that they really needed to make sure everything was done right."  So, now here we are waiting for the 4.2.1 update and I'm still getting the same response from BIGRED as I got for JB 4.0 update.  It's quite clear that VZ DOESN'T CARE about customer satisfaction.  They use the excuse that they want their network to be the best and they want their phones to operate with little or no problems, yet when problems ARE discovered, it takes them months to send out the updates that Google has already released months prior.  I have discussed updates with Verizon, Google and Samsung support personnel.  I have even contacted Verizon Corporate and I fully understand the process by which updates are done, and believe me when I say that the update process at VZ is in serious need of restructuring.  Especially when it comes to Android devices.  But as far as this Android 4.2.1 update is concerned, I have spoken with Google and they have informed me that there was NO changes made to the operating system that would affect the CDMA or LTE drivers on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, so there should be no reason why Verizon would not want to release the update.  The small changes (additions) to the operating system would in no way affect the communications on VZ.  So why hasn't VZ released this update yet.  Corporate says they need to test the software to ensure it doesn't affect communications on their network, yet Google hasn't changed anything in the operating system that would, so what are they testing?  VZ may have the better network, but CARRIER EXPERIENCE ISN'T ALL ABOUT THE BEST CONNECTION.  It's about customer SATISFACTION and not receiving updates on a pure NEXUS device in a timely manner is inexcusable and in NO WAY SATISFYING!  So when my contract is up, I will be returning to AT&T or giving T-Mobile a try on a pure Nexus device with no contract!

  • Why does Flash player not work on samsung galaxy tablets?

    Hello, I am wondering why they do not have flash player for samsung galaxy tab 3? I just recently got the 8.0 sized one and it has great features,but no flash player? To have an up to date electronic device,and older electronic devices carry it,but you won't put it on new devices? Is there a way to get it to work or download it? It has stopped me from viewing many different things on my tablet unfortunately and this may cause me to return it.

    Android dropped all support for Flash last year (June 2012).
    Going back to 2006, when Apple released the first iPhone and iOS 1, Steve Jobs was insistent that it be made incompatible with Flash Player because (in his words) playing Flash content is processor consumptive and kills batteries, and well as shortening battery life in mobile devices. Android came along a little while later, but their reason for droppiong Flash last year was the same.
    Adobe continued developing "security updates" for the Flash Player that worked with older versions of Android, but even that ended in September of this year. Adobe will not continue development of a product for an incompatible format.
    Android recommends either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" browser from the GooglePlay store (both are free). They use "server side" technology to play Flash content without taxing your tablet or phone's processor.
