Having scoured the forums with repeated searches, I have to admit defeat and turn to the gurus.
I work from home and leave my XDA2 in its cradle and Activesynced via USB. That way, I can keep it synced with MS Outlook, back it up on the fly and send SMS via Jeyo or Pocket Controller. Also, when I go out on appointments, it's always fully charged.
The one problem is, whenever someone calls, I have to disconnect it from the cradle to answer it. I can use the speakerphone, but that doesn't always work too well - sometimes my caller can hear me clearly, other times they complain that I'm too faint or that there's deafening feedback on the line.
I want to answer calls via my BT headset, but it just ain't possible. Even though BT is enabled, whenever I answer the call is routed via the speaker - the headset doesn't activate.
Could anyone confirm whether this is possible, please, and, if so, how to enact it? Thanks in advance...
In my friend's car, he can dial his contacts by connecting his phone to his car. Basically he can program the car to have voice activated dialing and etc. Now my question is, is there an app for android that allows your device to connect to your pc via bluetooth, and then allows the pc to make/receive calls? I searched this on XDA and didn't find anything, same with just plain google. Thanks!
Is it possible to connect an android phone to the tablet through Bluetooth, WiFi or even usb and make and receive calls and sms through the tablet?
tried searching, but all i can find is how to use the phone's internet connection, but cant find any information on how to connect to the cell phone part for calls and sms.
you can use a app called textab ..or sms sync ..
for sms phone calls .. only thing i know of is like google voice or like skype.
Will those work with the iphone as well? I'd love to have texts pushed to my tablet.

There is an app in the market called AirDroid that will allow you to text through your tablet. It will connect to your phone via wifi using a web browser, I am using Skyfire. I am not sure if you can make phone calls, but you can transfer music and photos. Hope this helps.

Airdroid is a very nice and useful app. thanks for that.
unfortunately, no phone function though.
years ago, i had an old "dumb" phone that i connected to the computer with bluetooth and was able to make and receive calls from it.
wonder why it is not available with the so called "smart" phones.
even to just be able to use the tablet as a hands-free device to answer calls would be useful to me. i can do it when the phone is connected to the computer with bluetooth. but when i try to connect the phone to the tablet, nothing happens. it tells me that it is paired but not connected and no other options are available on either the tablet or the phone.
They have a program called tablet talk on the market. You can make and receive txt true the tablet and see incoming phone calls on the tablet from the phone thru Bluetooth or wifi
If your on sprint, you can just integrate your cell number into google voice, with groove ip I can make calls and SMS from gvoice app

It's a very interesting concept. It's something that I would be interested as well.
Tablet Talk and Texttab allow to send and receive SMS when connected to the phone by BT.
Tablet Talk works with most tablets with a Wi-Fi connection but not with the iconia a100/500
For phone calls, there is still another problem with the a500 : it's the low volume of the microphone, anyway...
Google voice plus goove IP... your welcome.
Thanks, but I already have a voip service.
not what i am looking for.
like to have a direct access to the cellphone part from my tablet. or at the very least, use the tablet as a handsfree device.
but i guess it is asking too much and it is not possible or there would have been something on market to do that by now.
oh well...
Use phone with tablet
Hi,
I'm interested in this aswel ...
Primarily the idea is that say I have a Samsung Note, which is a bit big to hold up to your head to make a call, to be able to connect a phone to the Note and make/receive calls using the phone but through the Note. A bit like a bluetooth headset, but using a phone.
Before anyone says it, I have a B'Tooth headset, but I hate them - I don't want to look like a cab driver 8)
Cheers,
Stu
I use TexTab. I love it. It allows me to create new texts, respond to ones that come in, and even displays alerts for incoming calls. I can leave my phone charging in one room of my house while I use my Iconia in another room to text through my phone.
Bluetooth only
Here is the thing. I installed an android tablet in my car, and now i am trying to sync it to my phone in regard to phone calls and sms. I know google voice can do that but i am not planning on putting internet connection on the tablet since it will almost always be in the car. My old TomTom had a bluetooth sync with my phone and could receive phone calls from it .. is there any possible way i can do that and sync my tablet with my phone via bluetooth ???

You posted in very old thread. As an answer to you Bluetooth mic support is not available with the a500 in either direction, so it will not do as you want
MighyText
I use mightytext. Its simple.and does not need to be connected either by bluetooth nor wifi. Works like.. charm. Just download it.on both your android devices. Very simple
I have my N4 connected to an ATT cordless phone via bluetooth. I can make and answer calls, but if I call a number with a touch-tone menu (eg, voicemail), the tones for the menu responses are not passed through to the connection. If I connect my old Moto E815 to the same cordless phone the same way, the tones pass through and the menus work just fine. Also, if I make the call directly from the N4 (ie, no bluetooth to the cordless), it all works fine too. Any suggestions on how to make this all work?
I have the device paired via bluetooth, but can only send/receive files. I'd like to be able to make/receive calls through my headset.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
