Using tablets with sims

I have a Samsung Tab S tablet 4G/Lte version that takes a sim card. There are also iPads that have SIM slots for mobile broadband.
Do these new plans (20Gb Data allowance) work in tablets or are they phones only?

Locked iphones can only be used with the carrier to which they are locked.

Today I deleted a gmail account using my computer. I also added a new work gmail address. Now I want to sync my phone and tablet with the new email address. I've looked all over and can't find out how to do it.

Hi there T&P63385!
Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

HT1807 I travelled to a different country & using a new sim; with the change in sim, I have been unable to use iMessage & FaceTime. Cant replace replace the earlier no with the current one and it reads error. how to correct this?

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
Thanks for your help.

Using a tablet with Photoshop CC

I'm using Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuos tablet. I'm sort of inclined to think that the issue I'm having has more to do with a tablet setting than a Photoshop setting but I was using this same table with CS6 and I don't think I was having this problem but either way I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who's used a wacom tablet with Photoshop so hopefully somebody can help.
With the paintbrush selected if you press and hold with the Wacom pen then brush options appear in a floating box. Can I turn that off? It's screwing me up because anytime I want to draw just a short line or spec it seems to bring the options up and doesn't draw my line. I sometimes like to paint textures on whatever I'm working on by making several specs of various colour and layering them up, but those short specs are pretty much impossible cuz it doesn't seem to realize I want to paint unless the pen is moving a bigger distance.
Like I said, this seems like it's probably more of a Wacom issue than a Photoshop issue but I can't find any settings to change that seem like they would fix the problem. Anybody out there know how I can fix that?
Thanks!

I was having same problem using Photoshop cc and windows 8.1.
I first noticed when I was using clone tool. If I held down pen to start painting from clone source the dang circle appears with brush options.
Here's what I did to fix it.
Make sure your tablet is plugged in and working.
Go to Windows Control Panel
Select Hardware and Sound.
"Pen and Touch" should be listed, and select "Change Tablet Pen Settings".
A dialog opens. Look for the box that has the line inside that says "Press and Hold", and select that line.
Then press Settings button under box. This opens a new dialog box. At the top you need to UNCHECK "Enable Press and Hold for right-clicking". Hit OK, etc.
That seemed to fix problem.
It seems under windows the default way pens work is that pressing and holding is equal to a right click. So unchecking that turns this off.
I also disabled "Flicks" as well in same dialog box and I thought it may affect how my pen works when drawing.

Who was your original carrier; did you call them to ask them to unlock your phone, and are you aware of what their unlock policy is (THey may only unlock for international sims and not US sims

What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
Contact, or visit the website, whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.

I used the article "How to connect Sony Tablet with adb protocol through USB?" Article ID:474705.
Everytime I restart the computer now I get a open with window.
When I select Notepad and open it I get
0x54c Noswal\.android\adb_usb.******
How do i undo that.
If it helps the Article ID:474705 this says at one point
3. Open a shell prompt and enter the following command: echo "0x54c" >> $HOME/.android/adb_usb.******.
I gues that's what's creating the problem.
Please help.

Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3014
This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone and iPad?

I bought my iPhone 4 and iPad2 in Australia. I'm travelling to South Korea and Japan for two weeks. Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone? If so, can I still link my iPad2 to my iPhone4 with a personal hot spot?

Only if your phone is officially unlocked. Is it?

If I buy an iPad in the US, can I use it with a European carrier's sim card as well?

Yes, if you get an iPad 2 AT&T model or a new iPad. Be aware that the new iPad may not use the same frequency for LTE that is used is parts of Europe.

Using a Table PC Like a Intuos Tablet with Photoshop

I use an Intous tablet with my desktop PC to edit my photography in Photoshop. While travelling I've been using a laptop and a small Bamboo tablet.
I'd like to use a simpler travelling solution, a tablet PC if I can use it like I use the Intous tablet.
Does anyone know if this is possible? It would be great to use the tablet PC instead of carrying around a Bamboo tablet.
