The dialer is missing on the sprint version but I managed to get to it..kinda. I installed LauncherPro and HomeSmack. The dialer shows up but when I tap it, it opens Network Manager and gives the error "cannot make calls with the galaxy tab". Hopefully this is a clue that someone more experienced can use. Also there are some fishy apk's I found. If anyone wants a list, or actual apk files please message me.

How are you going to make calls (if at all you somehow get that working) when you don't have a voice calling plan attached to it? The ESN is in the database as a data only device, so i see no point. This is a CDMA Tab.
It's not like the GSM models where you swap the SIM with one from a phone that has a voice/data plan attached to it.
It's assigned a phone number, so it is voice capable. This IS possible to do... but I don't want to try anything crazy until we get Sprint's stock firmware .tar in case I need to wipe completely from a screw-up.
Does anyone know when this will be released? I need it bad!
even to get it to work via Google voice would be nice.
I have hopes that there is a way to make it work. It seems the phone stuff is there, just disabled.
Looks like a Odin package is being made for the Sprint Tab

Additionally, you CAN make emergency calls from the Sprint tab. I've done it
So the capability is there.
I'm also dying to make calls on the sprint tab...really hope someone can help us out.......

The point is not whether it is assigned a phone number (it's a CDMA device so it IS assigned an MDN on the network) or not but whether the account (in this case the Tab) can make and receive phone calls like under a normal plan.
Bump for the cause. I activated my Sprint Galaxy Tab in my country without problem but I still see the roaming icon and the legend "International". Is there a piece of sotware that informs the tablet that Im not using it in a Sprint network or inside EU?
Sorry but my knowledge of cellular networks is null.
i receive calls on spring galaxy tab
i got incoming calls on my sprint galaxy tab but i i dial a call the message comes up i did alot of changes to it trying to get it all working but i didnt realize that the incoming was working since i was only trying to make calls on it and last night someone called me and i was able to talk on it.

How do you indicate your desire to place an emergency call? There's no dialer to even punch "911" into...
My clueless-noob side is surely showing, but this is something I'm very interested in, please forgive what's probably a silly question.
Sprint Galaxy Tab and GrooVe IP
I installed grooVe IP last night on my 7" Sprint Galaxy Tab. It was a little bit of a hassle because first you have to set up Google Voice. Then you need to download the Google Voice app and go through the setup. I rebooted my phone and was then able to get more setting adjustments on Google voice website on my desktop to set up my tablet. It seems that I can now make calls from my Tablet. I tried a few different numbers. 2 things I can't get to work is the bluetooth functionality (always comes out through tablet speakers even though "Bluetooth" is the only option selected) and being able to receive calls. I was reading on Google that they are currently working with Sprint to roll out selective call forwarding but that my number is not allowed at this time. Strange that it will let me make a call but not receive one. Anyone have a work around for this. I tried to set up my voicemail but I could never dial into my tablet to enter the activation code provided by Google. If I could get it to receive calls I would be ecstatic. I love being able to do a search on google for a business and when it shows the phone number, be able to call that person by touching the number and not having to do it from my regular phone. Especially when driving.
Could someone help me out please? I want to set this up. I've tried for 2 days!!!
I rooted my Galaxy Tab and have a custom Rom on it. Do I need to install a bin? If so Wich one? Would really appreciate the help guys!

Google voice is a cloud-based visual voicemail manager and can be used as a call redirector to redirect incoming calls to one or more devices capable of receiving voice calls.
Google also supports direct phone calling from the desktop (but not currently from non-phone mobile devices).
What are you trying to set up?

Make and receive calls from the Galaxy Tab with Google Voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItTIswb1AnQ
In that video he is using a SIM card from a device with voice + data (which you can not get on the Tabs original SIM card. (Which is why is is "stuck on 2g"))
There are fixes and work-arounds that allow the 2g + voice option and they can be found in this forum as well as the development forum. Currently, there is no known way to do voice calls + 3g on the tmobile network (which I assume you are on because that's what he is on in the video)
Google voice is simply a redirector, it is NOT a program that makes phone calls. In order to use it, you still must have a number to route to and from.
Hope this helps.
What the OP may be thinking of is integrating Google Voice with a VOIP provider such as Skype or pbxes.
If that is the case, there are a number of excellent tutorials already on this forum explaining how to do that for different VOIP suppliers.

this is also worth a read.
What can also be done is, if you have your tab set up to be a phone with any of the "free favourites" plans is to have GV send you ITS number instead of the caller's original number so that all incoming calls are free.
Similarly, if you install GV on a phone, you can set it to intercept all outgoing calls and forward them to a special local GV number - which I believe can also be added as a favourite - thereby enabling free calling within the US.

Coming from an iPhone on AT&T, I'm looking for any solutions for visual voicemail on the N4. Does it only work on phones officially supported/sold by AT&T? Any solutions without redirecting my voicemail to another provider such as Google Voice?
I don't see at&t's visual voicemail app in the play store but you might be able to side load it just fine (if your on the LTE data plan that includes visual voicemail). Or, just go with Google voice. Why don't you want to use that? I've used it on many phones for a few years now and it works just fine. Never had an issue with it.
There's also apps like youmail, etc. but behave like Google voice AFAIK

+1 on the G Voice. I was in the same boat as you (iPhone 4 on AT&T) and switched to G Voice with the Nexus. Haven't looked back. Also, if you used Voice on iOS it's completely different and integrated tighter on Android.
Ah, there's an AT&T Visual Voicemail app... It didn't occur to me to check the play store first. And there's also an AT&T Messages app too that cannot be used at the same time as the AT&T VVM app. I'm not sure what plan exactly I'm on, when I called them I told them to provision my SIM for 4G/LTE (APN: phone) even though I know the N4 is not an LTE phone, but wanted to make sure LTE is available if I move the SIM to a different phone.
Based on the reviews I'm not sure I want to mess with either of these 2 apps
I'll try and live without VVM for a while and then consider using GV if I must have it.
Just use GVoice. The att VVM app doesn't work well on non-specifically supported devices. I have a vivid right now and even though the vivid is a supported device, the custom ROM I'm running doesn't like the VVM app. GVoice works great though and has so many options like setting different greetings for different groups/people.

Are you prepaid? I've heard, at least from a friend on T-Mobile Monthly4G prepaid plans that they're unable to use the conditional call forwarding settings. The network denies the change.
Can somebody point me on a good tutorial for GVoice? Can get it to work... AT&T regular iPhone plan before..

I ran into this. I had to go into google voice on the phone and disable it,?. Then the number you must call using your phone will go through. Sorry, can't remember exactly, but you must inter that mmi number before you have it set up on your phone...

Has anyone figured out a way to side load a working AT&T VVM .apk? Yes, I know gvoice is an option but I prefer to try to keep all vm's under AT&T.

I decided that I can live without VVM, I just do it the old school long press 1 now... At some point I think I will port my mobile number to GV and get it over with, which will also get me ready for the rumored Google cell service late next year.
The N4 is not officially supported by the AT&T VVM app, but it may or may not work. You'd have to find a recent apk from someone and just install it on your N4. Then you have to call AT&T as they have to enable the VVM feature for you. If you already put the correct N4 IEMI on your account they will probably not do it, they will say your unknown device is not supported. If they don't pay attention, they might enable the feature anyway. If you go through the pain, let us know what you found out.

Good news is that I have not added the N4's IMEI on the account, it still has my GS3 listed. I will give AT&T a call and have them add my IMEI and the VVM feature to my account and if all goes well, they will get it done. I saw a .apk floating around here a few months ago, not sure if that is still the current package or not but I'll report back and let you know of my experience.
I'd look for a very recent apk, the LG Optimus G is a supported device for VVM so chances are it may also work on the N4.

Upload the apk to the phone and then install the apk on the device. Once installed, reboot device. Once rebooted, open the ATT voicemail app so it can call home and configure itself. I'm using an international version of the motorola razr hd and ATT VVM app works just fine for me.
Just note, you won't be able to get the apk from google play. you'll need to search the interwebz for the apk.
One thing to note, if you're not using an AT&T branded phone, you do have to use workarounds for installing ATT VVM app.
Curious as to how to make it work. At first I couldnt even download the apk from the play store as it said wasnt compatible with my device. Got the apk elsehwere on this site and still cant get past the missing voicemail password screen.
I, too, am having trouble getting VVM to work.
Is anyone using visual voicemail?
Is it setup on your account through at&t? AFAIK, its a feature that has to be "turned on", much like a data plan, etc. if you have an "LTE" phone (so, an lte imei) you should be able to get your account provisioned for lte and visual voicemail. But even after all this, its still may not work. Worth the try though unless someone else has gotten it to work elsewhere.
Take what I said with a grain of salt, I could be wrong, but think this is how that vvm works.
Edit: alternatively, Google voice's visual voicemail works on this phone.

Att's VVM is a two step headache when it comes to android. First, you need to have it provisioned on your account and then the app only works on approved phones. It worked just fine on my vivid when it was stock, but once rooted and on a custom ROM, the app didn't work anymore. I started using GV and have been much happier with it.

You don't have to. I still use my mobile number for everything, but have my voicemails forwarded to Google voice. If you have a Google voice number, just download the GV app and let it set up your voicemail. People will call your main number, but GV picks up to leave a message. The caller will not know the difference and you still get your voicemails to your phone. You can even have GV display the voicemails right in the call log.

This is exactly what I did as well. Use my regular number for making and receiving calls, unanswered calls forwarded to Google Voice (using **004* number), then set "Do Not Disturb" in Google Voice so that all calls go straight to voicemail.
Now, people calling me hear 4 rings (the usual number of rings) and if I don't answer, it immediately plays my GV greeting and a beep for the message.
Using the integration to the phone's call log even gives me a "Play" button right along with missed call notifications. It's pretty sweet and I highly recommend it.
For those Verizon users on this phone, what so you use for visual VM? Google voice or the vzw paid service? I'm open to either but mainly just want good quality transcriptions

TBH. I think the paid Verizon app is where it's at
I gotta agree with aaronpw0621. And it's hard for me to recommend a Verizon "feature," because I think most of their stuff is bloatware garbage (like VZ Navigator).
I've tried using things like Google Voice, which forwards unanswered calls from your phone to Google Voice (for recording voicemails, and transcription). I've also had a lot of people say that they can't leave voicemail, or some glitch happens where they disconnect.
I also tried Verizon's variant of VVM, and it works fantastically well. Does exactly what you expect it to do (record voicemail, transcribe, notify you of new voicemail) and does it flawlessly. It even accepts faxes for you, and converts them to PDF.
If you're looking for a great, flawless VVM app, and are willing to pay the $3 per month, go with Verizon's VVM.
I've never had any complaints about Google Voice and have been using it for years.
I will say though, sometimes the transcripts are really wonky.
And once in awhile a message won't be transcoded at all, or just be delayed.
You need to ensure you set it up properly every time you flash a new ROM.
I'll forget to sometimes and naturally it won't work until I do.
I've never used any other visual voicemail type service so I can't compare it to anything.
I do like being able to manage my voicemails at voice.google.com too.
