Anyone get standard voice calls to work on a TMobile Galaxy Tab yet?

Money is burning a hole in my pocket and just want to confirm that it can be hacked to do standard voice calls.
Can anyone confirm that this is doable?

good luck.......

Can you install Google Voice and use your Google phone number on it?

Nimbuzz seems to work quite well for outgoing calls. Haven't tried incoming.
Tango works for incoming and outgoing but requires the Tango apps to be installed on the device being called. It's available for the Android, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
Both are free, in the Android Market and work over 3G / WiFi.

delete this post pls. didnt read the topic well

Asia (Taiwan) purchased version has full phone features. Don't know if I need to use my N1 on a daily basis now. Tab does (ALMOST) everything.

The main direction this mod is just the very thing. Make sure you do have a Google Voice Account. You can get one free at http://google.com/voice Just be sure to load the Google Voice App, There is two applications, one is the modern texting app from the Play Store, and was is an integrated VoIP app, it's from another project from Sipdroid, I am going to update the version of it as well, but after you have your google account setup with your phone, you can simply open the app and click Register PBX Account for your Google Voice, and a registry box will appear for you to setup another account. It's really simple. I hope to make a video for it later on. Also I will also include a boot animation for the phone.

Great idea! I'm definitely trying this on my old HTC Hero. Is it a complete ROM or a patch for a ROM ? Because the zip is kinda small...4mb only.

It's not a compete rom, in order for me to do that, I would have to work on each phone at a time.

What is the actual name of the two apps?

The first app is the text messaging app, created by Google developers, and is already out on the market, at no cost.
The second app is a developer made app from a open source code for Sipdroid, I have modified the application and modified it to integrate it with the mod. So it's under Google Voice as a name.

I went ahead and made adjustments to the mod, it is now once again been reupdated, so if you used it already, just reload the back and do it again. I'm also going to make a uninstaller for this.

So is the text messaging app the Google Voice app then?
Here is something to think about - and it's actually kinda a big deal to me.
One of the STUUUPID things that verizon has done to us is to strip the VOIP settings out of the native dailer. If you use any of the 3rd party ROMS (well - any of the 3rd party ROMS that are not BLUR based) - you get that feature back in the native dailer. So what would be better would be to not install the sipdroid client at all and just use the native dailer to do all this.
Believe it or not that is one of my two HUGE complaints about this phone. If you want the VOIP in the native dailer - you loose HDMI because no 3rd party ROMS support it.
Now, interestingly, my HUGE 2nd complaint is that the lapdocks totally suck and I've never had any success with any of my lapdocks/bionics getting them to actually work. Even doing a factory reset..etc etc etc - the freakn lapdocks just dont freakn work.
I guess at this point (or pretty soon anyway) I'm not going to care because when my sucky verizon contract is up in a couple of months I'm switching carriers to Sprint and getting a Galaxy Note 2. I would get it on verizon - but the stuuuupid verizon folks have locked the bootloader on it and the stuuuupid verizon doesn't have unlimited bandwith and Sprint does.
My experience with VZ has been horrific. My HDMI didn't work so they sent me a 2nd phone. I sent the first one back but they claim they never got it and charged me $600 bucks for it. To top that off the 2nd phone's HDMI doesn't work either - and the friends phone that DOES have a working HDMI still wont work with the lapdock..etc etc etc.
Basiaclly they've screwed me out of about 700 bucks and I still don't have a working unit.

Ill be ur test subject

So this will only work for people that has a Google voice account? And where Google voice is available i.e. USA?

It's not clear for me... Does this replaces sms/dialer with GV compatible ones? or it is a whole ROM by itself (very basic one just for making calls/text)?

Is it country specific ? As I lives in India where is no google voice yet , which I eagerly wanted to try on my nexus 7 which do not have calling facility.

Using microphone in gmail for conversation

Hey guys. Was curious if its possible to use the mic. For chat purposes while in google talk. I dont see it as an option in gmail or google + either. I only see the option of doing audio chat which is not what i need.
Thanks.

Yes, Google Talk has the mic and video w/ mic options. I just got off mine using the vid chat, checking to make sure they worked so I could answer your question. As a matter of fact, the video is excellent over wifi!!

I use Google Voice and Groove IP (paid) for my calls. Works like a champ too. :good:
With the paid version of Groove IP on my tablet, I can connect via wireless tether to my phone and use my 3g to make calls from my tablet. Of course I can connect via wifi to make calls too. :good:

Sorry I guess I didnt explain myself properly enough. I don't want to do an audio chat, THAT is the option they give you in gmail. I want to be able to speak instead of typing like I can do on my phone. If i can speak into the mic. for google apps and what not I dont see why i cant do the same thing in gmail but i dont see the option. And i dont see an option for the Mic. on the keyboards as well. Hope I did a better job of explaining myself. :cyclops:

When I compose a new Gmail, when the keyboard pops up, pressing the mic button allows me to do what I believe you are describing.
I use SwiftKey.

it was actually google talk as well. I see what the problem was. The stock asus keyboard doesnt give you the microphone option which is stupid. As soon as I switched to the android keyboard i got the microphone on the keyboard so im all good now thanks.

[Q] Incoming call ring duration?

Hello.
Sorry to ask such a basic question but I'm without my pc for over a week now and can't find the answer by searching from my phone.
I need to extend the duration of the ring of an incoming call, before it diverts to voicemail as unanswered.
There used to be settings in the call menu but I can't seem to find them anymore. I'm on latest stock ROM, 4.3.
Please could anyone help?
Thank you.

Did this recently and it works, but remember, the maximum is 30 seconds.

Thanks for your help. I want to keep voicemail though.
The next response will do the job, but I remember a setting in the menu from a previous revision of Android on my last phone. Wondered if we still had that.
Cheers.

Shame that there doesn't seem to be a setting in the menu.
I ran CM on my last phone and I thought the menu had a setting to adjust the length of time.

Samsung + Whitepages

One of the big features in the new Galaxy was the addition of Whitepages built into the dialer.
Did Verizon force Samsung to remove that as well?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Looks like Verizon removed this feature. If enough people tell them they are upset about it they may bring it back, but probably not

It's Verizon. Since when do they listen.
They want you to pay for their ID program

Spoke with Samsung. Verizon forced them to remove it due to the paid for ID program.
Hopefully enough people bother them that they end up bringing it back.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I found this feature by downloading "Any cut" from the play store and then scrolling through the list and finding "identify unsaved numbers" you can then turn it on from there.

Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.

Yeah there are numerous programs out there.
True Caller, Whitepages ID, etc.
I would have liked not to download an extra program when it's built into the dialer.
I started a forum in the Verizon Community.
Hopefully if we get enough people to annoy them, they will bring it back.

The switch does not bring back the program which Verizon stripped out.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

can always install it via the app store. it doesn't integrate with the dialer like the samsung version was supposed to, but it will pop on top of the default dialer and give you an alert. just a thought.

This looks really good. I"m currently using CallApp, based on pulling info from social sites, Facebook, Twitter ect. but I want something more.

It is possible to get the builtin whitepages semi working. (the caller id works but searching for local business via the contacts search bar doesn't seem to) However doing so requires a rooted phone. If you go to your system/app folder you should see a folder called SmartCallProvider. Inside is the whitepages apk. make sure it was the right permissions rw-r--r-- then go to your system/csc folder. here you want to add this line to your feature.xml file.
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,on</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
reboot phone and it should be working. I've only recieved one unknown number call since then but whitepages seems to work as it was identified as a scam number.

you also need to enable the "identify unsaved numbers" setting in your dialer, which should now be available after preforming the modification.
