Dialer app and VOIP - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there's a way to "enable" the Dialer app through a launch (just like the Camera launcher)? I wonder if it's possible to configure native VOIP on the Nexus 7.

im using talkatone myself works great with my google voice numbers .... I get phone in my office now where I dont get cell service .. <3

If you want don't to deal with Talkatone's in-app ads or want independence from your cell phone, unlike Tablet Talk, then get Google Voice plus $5 Groove IP. Free unlimited calls and SMS text within North America with a standard 10-digit number assigned to your Nexus 7 over WIFI.

I use GrooveIP with my Google Voice number over WiFi. Works decent enough.

Agreed GrooveIP works fine.

another + for GrooveIP

Is anyone concerned about GrooveIP having their google password? or does everyone use 2 step authentication?

I think you can create one-time password even when you don't use two-factor. But that is beside the point as everyone should be using two-factor, there is really no excuse not to secure your account.

Google voice call back didn't work on the n7.....

You will need to modify the framwork-res.apk to get the dialer to show up.
I did it and it shows up. To add the SIP settings you will need to change your DPI to 320, reboot, add your VOIP setting, change the DPI back to what it was and reboot.
You will then be able to use the native internet calling with the native android dialer.

How would one go about this exactly? What do I need to modify in the framework-res file and where in the filesystem is it? Do I need to be rooted?

No one knows?

I'm also interested to know this, particularly the modification needed for framwork-res.apk
Adding the dialer app would allow for
utilizing the native SIP functions
outbound calling on google voice without using GrooveIP or Tapatalk, both of which are flawed imho.

I use Talkatone myself also for Canadians there is Dell Voice.

This is a very technical procedure and not something I can guide you how to do over a post. Google how to decompile the framework-res.apk. there are a few guides online that can teach you how to do this.

So if I decompile framework-res.apk with APKtool what do I need to add to make the dialer show up?
Thanks!

Google voice integration.

Did anyone received a google email that reads as follow?
Hello, You have been invited to start enjoying the benefits of the Sprint integration before anyone else! We are interested in your feedback as we roll this out to the entire user base and have listed a link to a form where you can send feedback and/or questions
What are the benefits of this integration?

I guess I've become a total Android/Google whore. I hope they buy Sprint and just bury all the other wireless companies XD
I just did recently, however I am still not sure if this has advantages over having the app. Its either all in or not. I still prefer being able to choose which way I dial out. Whats needed is an option to check off in contacts to force google voice as preferred # to use as dailing out.
The 'integration' feature seems to take away the option to use googlevoice as a way to seperate personal and business use of a single line...?

This service renders your sms/text applocation useless.
You muat use google voice app to recieve text.
Am i missing something? Does google voice have an api for the text? Is that possible to implement that into a sms app?

Voice Plus from the market. You put your contacts into groups in gmail on your pc, set google voice to always dial with google voice (using the widget) and then choose the group in Voice Plus. This is how I call delivery restaurants in my area It works perfectly. I forget about it most of the time.
You have to forward texts to your mobile and turn off notifications for google voice. I am using handcent with google voice and its perfect once I figured that out.
I like having my house phone and cell phone ring when I get a call.

So if we use the integration (just got my invite), we will only have the option of using one phone number? Just to be clear, I have my Sprint number and a separate GV number. If I go ahead with the integration, I have to choose which number I want to keep using?
So their finally making their move. I was warned about this some time ago.

+1 for Voice Plus. It works perfectly. I have no intention of giving up one of my two numbers when this little app makes everything seemless. The only thing I don't like (and this has nothing to do with voice plus) is that any call that is in any way routed through GV right now does not count as a mobile-to-mobile.

The only problem with this is Notifications for Voice Mail is affected too. Id like to retain notifications for VM but maybe they will add this in the future to disable notifications for the 2 services

until google bypasses POTS, gv calls will always be non m 2 m. this is because of the charges associated with POTS and mandated by federal laws.

I use the Google Voice callback app along with Sprint's Sprint to Home plan (extra $5/Month) in conjunction to Google Voice to bypass the Landline to Mobile charge. Works great.

You mean you can use the Google Voice sms app. Google Talk is just IM
Where can you get the google voice sms app?
It depends on the Telephone provider, try throwing the TelephonyProvider.apk from /system/app/ in a 2.x device onto the TF, and see if it will work then.
It might need some libs too, but idk. Im at work now, cant test it
EDIT::Check /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.telephony.<CDMA or GSM>.xml
I think that would help too

What's the best way get Google Voice to work on an unactivated phone?

I have an HTC EVO (with a bad esn) that I'm using just on wifi - I'm using Google Voice and GrooveIP to make calls but without service I can't finish the Google voice setup - It needs an active # so that it can send a text.
My question is - Is there an easy way to get around this? I've looked around for answers and I've learned a little about SIP but it seems like there's got to be an easier way. The other thing I was thinking was to just flash it to cricket, activate service for an hour, activate GV and then cancel.
Anyone been through this already and have advice?
SIPAndroid might be useful. Back when I set it up it did not ask me for a confirmation SMS. I used the default provider that comes with the application.
The reason I am trying to finish activating GV on the phone is so I can text from the same GV # that I call from. Wouldn't going through a SIP service force me to use a different #?

No since you already have a phone # (your GV #), the SIP is just the connection between the phone line and the internet.
I take it your setting up through your computer? Stop what your doing. Its a pain in the butt. (I know from experience)
Just download the Google voice app and sign in using the email account used to set up your Google voice account. Takes like 2 min and no calling necessary

I just confirmed it on my phone. If you shutdown the radio but leave wifi on, GV will complain about being unable to place the call because of airplane mode. I'm using the network app to disable only the CDMA radio, all others (BT, WiMAX and Wifi) are enabled.
So yes, you MUST use a SIP to be able to use GV without the CDMA radio attempting to make a regular call.
I just remembered the name of the SIP app: SIPdroid
Thanks to fenixjn and the others in this thread. I got it going on my EVO 4g.
If u haven't figured out a way to set it up. use the internet. When it ask for a phone number use a landline number. After that u can use the google voice app like u wanted to. Hope that helps. After the activation call just unforward to that number and forward calls to gtalk or g chat. I forget exactly what the option is. I use groove IP to make and receive calls. I had sip Droid set up but it stopped working for me a few months ago. The money for groove IP is worth it. The calls are great quality. It has dropped calls on my a few times. But I can't complain for the ease of use and the low price.
Now I'm even more confused. I already set up the Google voice app and grooveIp and have been making and receiving calls just fine. My issue is having a number I can use to complete the Google voice app on my phone. The app wants to send me a confirmation text and since I have no service it cant. So now my question is how do I use SIPDroid to do that??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
By the way if I wasn't clear - I'm only trying to get google voice fully on the phone so i can text over wifi too. If there's an easier way I'm all ears.
I used my home phone number to set up google voice(it is a vonage number now that I ported to them from my old land line company). I first set up the google voice on my computers and it went smoothly. I then took my EVO 4g (which does not have service) and connectected by wifi to the market and downloaded voice, it kept prompting me for a cell number and I didnt enter one but it did load google voice onto my phone. I then downloaded Sipdroid and used my Google Voice number and it handled everything. I can send and receieve text and can send and recieve calls. A friend did try to send me two picture files via the text messaging that would not come thru. I don't know if there are limitations on what you can send but the normal text messages come thru fine. The phone service works ok but the quality leaves something to be desired. I havent started trying to tweek that yet.
Thanks, I'll try it right now...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It can be done. I did it to mine. i cant remeber how cause its been a long time. Bit i thought all i did was add another number to gvoice on the computer. Then when it asked for comfermation it made a phone call to the number i had set up to forward it to. U may have to set up another gmail account just so u can get another gvoice number. Then use a number u can receive calls to ass the primary number. I'm gonna see if I can find the link I found the info for and post it for u. Don't be discouraged. It took me a while to figure out how to do it.
Thanks for all your help so far, I haven't got it working yet but I'm closer than I was

Alright I finally got it. It was actually pretty simple, I downloaded the text plus app to get a free number and used that to complete Google voice and voila.

Hi- could you explain in a bit more detail how you got GV to use your Text+ to complete the GV registration? I am trying to do the same exact thing you did, but cannot get GV to "see" my Text+ number. Thanks for any help you can offer...
[added note] just realized my sig line is waaay out of date...sorry!
It's been awhile and I promptly forgot everything but here's what I remember - Text plus lets you send and receive texts for free and lets you receive voice calls for free. As far as I recall GV needs to send you a text? or possibly a voice message. I think I just entered my Text + number as the cell # in GV and it all worked out

Google Voice calls only

I am trying to set up my un-activated Continuum to only use Google voice for all calls. I have gone into the Voice settings and tried setting it to make all calls through Voice and set to ask. Neither way work. They all try to use Verizon to place the calls, and not receiving any. I have EC09debinged rom installed. I wonder if it is not working because the phone is looking for a carrier activiation, but I told it to use Voice only. Any ideas?
Are you trying on Wifi?

In order to make calls you're going to need a separate app called groove Ip. There's a lite and full version.

Also if you're having trouble receiving your calls go to settings on your google voice *pc* and click call forwarding to google chat. Not your phone.

Text Forwarding App?

Just wondering, is there a text forwarding app that would work for my situation?
I have Fongo, which is an app that lets you make free calls and I texting with the app (only works on wifi).
Is there a way to route that text through my service provider (which is prepaid, no data plan)?
Thanks for your help!

I don't think that's possible.
So with some work you might be able to set something up with Google Voice.
I'm in the US so can't exactly test it out for you but it would depend on GVMax (a web service) being able to send text to a Canadian number since Google Voice cannot.
1) You can setup a Google Voice from Canada by using an app such as Burner for a temporary US number and a US web proxy for the webpage setup.
2) in gmail, setup a contact group , such as "Prepaid", with just your canadian prepaid phone number.
3) login to your google account at GVMax and follow instructions for setting it up, or use the auto setup.
4) in GVMax, have it monitor your GV sms and set up a notifier by checking "Send SMS" and putting "Prepaid" (or whatever your gmail contact group is called) in as the sms group.
Now when someone writes your google voice number it is forwarded to your prepaid phone number.
Like I said, not very easy but it should work lol.
If you want just PM me for help and/or I can test to see if GVMax can even forward to a canadian number if you have one for me to use.(i can't find a temporary canadian number like Burner app has for US number)
