Call from Nexus 7 using phone over bluetooth - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So im really lazy and am looking for ways make life even simpler. Is it possible to make and receive phone calls coming to my gnex but answered/ sent from my n7 over bluetooth or something? Also I dont know much about google voice so i know it may be possible through that but id prefer to still use my same verizon phone number.
Thanks

tablet talk works great for calls and texts. i've got it on my vzw sgs3 and N7 and it works great. well worth the $3 in the play store

Unfortunately I am currently on an iPhone :-/ is there a way/app to achieve this with the iPhone and Nexus 7?

But can you make/answer phone calls? I have found plenty of apps that allow you to text but im trying to make phone calls from my N7 but routed through phone using bluetooth

there has to be a way to do this

tablet talk doesn't allow you to actually call with the tablet. it allows you to control calls to and from a bluetooth device. I believe grooveip works pretty well for direct calls but you have to use your Google voice number

Google Voice and click to call
Using Google Voice, which I use for Text messages, and the click to call feature will have your phone ring, once answered the number you called will begin ringing.

Im looking for something that modern day cars can do. You can answer a call through the cars system using bluetooth and can also make calls through your phone but using the cars system to initiate the calls. So the technology is there for the phone and bluetooth but i cant find a tablet app.

Tablet talk initiates.
Youre not going to be able to use the tablet as a blue tooth device to talk through.
Tab initiates call....phone makes the call...you talk on your BT headset.

I just tried free version of Groove IP initiating and receiving Gvoice calls, and it seemed to work just fine. Thanks for the topic! I'd been meaning to figure this out too.

BT mic connected to the tab

I guess I don't know enough about how Tablet Talk functions or how BT works so this may sound really dumb, when you use Tablet Talk does the phone call and mic pic up get routed through the tablet? If so is it possible to connect the tablet to the phone with Tablet Talk AND have a BT mic connected to the Nexus 7? The idea would be for me to be able to have the tablet's output go through my car's AUX in and use the BT mic connected to the tablet for tablet voice commands and as the phone pickup when used with Tablet Talk essentially making the tablet the only thing I have to control in the car while driving.

I'm looking to do the same thing. I just installed a Nexus 7 as my "head" unit replacement in my car. Its great, but now looking at using it as other OEM's do in the car world and simply connect via bluetooth to the Nexus 7 to make and receive phone calls through my cell phone carrier. It does seem obvious this would be an existing app. Lets hope someone is watching and comes up with an app for this!!!

I am looking for a way to do what you just mentioned "connecting android tablet via BT --> DumbPhone which is connected to --> BT headset"
when i press the Call button in my android application it should make a call using the dumbphone .
Do you have any idea whether this is actual possible or not ?

Google Voice now available on Market

Google Voice showed up on the Market and also Amazon. It's functional but does not include call-out capabilit as I had hoped. It will do voicemail and text message but you still need GrooveIP if you want to be able to do Voice over Google Voice
You have to have a GV account set up and a GV number, but it's goovy. I don't have GrooveIP yet but am seriously considering it at $5. I've got a cool pair of noise reducing BT headphones that have a mic, so I might as well.
Ive been using grooveIP on my no service DX via google voice and it works great. I can only imagine it'll work fine on the tab.
Its certainly worth the 5 bucks.
It had been available for week at least, but since I didn't find the call button, I am not too much a fan. I complaint on google's forum about the GV for Tablet. Does the GV for phone has a call button? I think it does. I don't have an android phone.
GrooveIP was on sale on amazon last week for $2....i just missed it too
When adding the widget look at the messages it shows funny stuff

I don't think Bluetooth microphones work (yet), just the stereo A2DP. I've tried really hard to pair a Plantronics Savor M1100 which does both regular hands-free microphone and A2DP audio... but Honeycomb 3.1 only shows the A2DP profile.
However, I'd love to be proven wrong! I use Google Talk / Video Chat a lot so it would be a very welcome addition.
On my Android phone it allows you to choose if you always want to use GV for calls, ask every time, never, or only for International calls. It uses the stock dialer, which is where GrooveIP comes in. My reluctance in buying GrooveIP is it would seem a natural fit for Google to include outbound calling for tablets, so there would be no need for it. My guess is eventually Google will buy GrooveIP (they buy everyone!) and it'll become closely integrated.

It has been said a lot about those mics in that thread, but the OP made 2 different opinions about using skype. The other users only used those mics with Voice Recording(Tape-a-talk app I think), nobody was able to make a call with skype.
Could you please share your experience with the 3 pins microphone? (I haven't got any of them so I can't try)

Crashes for me as well. I was hopeful given the threads about 3 pin mic support. I have extra headsets--if you dm I'll send you one.
I only tried voice calling the Echo / Sound Test Service, and it doesn't crash. However, it does just hang up after it rings.
I was able to launch the Skype apk attached to this thread successfully. It allowed me to make an outgoing call with the Fire and using the Edutige EIM-001 mic, but it disconnected the call a second or two after I picked up the call on my cell. I wasn't able to hear my voice when I called my cell since it disconnected so quickly. Unfortunately this is a mic only with a TRRS connector so the speakers are disconnected when it is plugged in. I am going to do some tests to see if I can rig the mic to work without causing Fire speaker disconnect. I still have to test with Google Voice.
I would be interested to know about it very much. So far I have no luck to make a call using mic
I been working on the mic problem all night. So far I think this tablet is missing something. Skype loads but wen making a call it does not see a mic at all.
Changing settings I have got the mic to work with a recorder for a test done a 20 min voice test no problems at all. But other apps like talking tom so on give error of no mic found.
Still working on this but not seeing what the problem could be.

I have a successful call using Google Voice but unfortunately only one direction
I mean I could make a call and the other party could receive this call. The problem is that I could hear what that party talk but I can't get his voice. It looks that it works only incoming direction ... but it looks to me that mic itself is ok.
Anyone has has better experience?

What are the changes that you made? Were you using a standard headset mic?
Sounds promising....
I did no changes. I used mic: Universal 3.5mm In-Ear Stereo Headset w/ On-off & Mic for , HTC myTouch 4G Unfortunately I don't have enough technical knowledge to resolve the issue although it sounds promising

SYNC phone and TAB2

So I have the 3113 TAB2 and an iPhone. I have my TAB2 mounted in my car. I am using my wifi tether to get internet on my TAB2 to use the Pandora and iheartradio apps. I also tether my TAB2 to my phone so that I have the wifi connect to use with my GPS.
My question is, I would like to be able to run my phone calls and maybe even my texts through my TAB2 from my phone. I always have the sound going through my car stereo and figured I would just use the mic for speaking. If anything, I will get a Bluetooth headset to use while making phone calls.
I know it sounds stupid but if anyone has tried this and knows how to get this to work then that would be great! Thank you!
Tablet Talk is what I use. The phone and tablet are connected through Bluetooth. Text show up on the tablet instantly. You need a Bluetooth headset for calls though.

make and answer calls with n7

I have the n7 installed in the dash of my truck and I want to do 2 things.
First, use my n7 to answer and place calls via my EVO 3d. Use the n7 Mic and speakers. I tried tablet talk but it routes the audio through my EVO. Tried talkatone and google voice but nobody could hear me. And incoming calls don't come through.
Second, is there any way to have an external wired or wireless Mic , while still routing audio through the 3.5mm headphone jack?
Thanks!
Get a bluetooth speakerphone and connect it to your phone. Then use tablet talk to make calls.

That's a good idea, but I want the audio to go through the tablet which us hooked up to my speakers in my car.
Still haven't figured this out....anyone?

Nexus 4 hands free problems

First post here, so apologies and let the flaming begin but I am trying to determine if my Nexus 4 "issues" are unique to me or normal for this phone.
1. Issue #1 - Bluetooth functions only for numeric dialing, no voice (say name phonetically) dialing or other voice actions seem to work. You can speak the numbers you wish dialed and that's about it. Maybe others can confirm whether this is unique to me. Android ver 4.2.1. Using with a Sena SMH10 bluetooth motorcycle headset
2. Minor issue, but also related - I can not use a stereo headset with my phone and expect the handset mic to work. Something that simply works in every other smart phone I've owned. You plug in a stereo headset (3 conductor earbuds only, not 4 conductor with mic for example) and the phone ideally recognizes the lack of 4th conductor and sends output audio to headphone while using handset mic. So, if you wish to make a call, you can do so. And if you wish to communicate with your phone using verbal commands you may do so as well. You may get "some" functionality using a 3 conductor headphone, however try making a call to someone and it simply doesn't work.
I don't think my phone issues are unique, but perhaps I got a lemon? Nexus support can't seem to confirm whether or not its a known issue.
Anyone else have these "features"?
Thanks in Advance.
Issue #1. Confirmed hands free dialing works over Bluetooth using blue ant s4. In fact I was excited they actually reworked the voice dialer to be accurate!

Well that's certainly weird. The headset I am using lists the following profiles:
Key Specifications:
• Bluetooth v2.1+EDR, Class1
• Supporting profiles: Headset Profile, Hand-Free Profile (HFP), Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP), Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
The Settings tab of this headset in my Nexus say it is paired for:
-Phone Audio
-Media Audio
I have paired/unpaired and reset bluetooth device to factory.
This headset worked flawlessly with my previous phone, an HTC MyTouch 4G running Android 2.3
When i attempt a call, I get a prompt from the phone "Voice Dialer" that says:
"Say Call, followed by a name or a number"
If i speak the numbers to dial, it works perfectly. If I say the name of any person in my google contacts list, it balks and exits right away, sometimes saying "Sorry, I didn't catch that"
HF Dialing has been horribly broken in Android for some time. You might try disconnecting it from A2DP to see if that helps. For me, since I use a moto headset, I went with Motospeak and it works pretty well.

This works fine for me. I've used it a number of times in the car, where I have a stereo cable to an FM transmitter, and I just tested it with a no-microphone set of headphones: my voice went through the phone microphone with no problems.

I understand your frustration. Hands free dialing is a feature I don't like to do without. After jumping to jellybean from ICS on my fascinate handsfree was horrible.
When I set up my blue ant with any phone it goes through a "transferring contacts" part of the setup. Perhaps this is why it can recognize the peoples names and not just the numbers.
Does your headset "transfer contacts" like the S4?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
No, the headset is strictly a phone headset as far as that goes. Not a sync device like some cars, etc. In that case, it might work since dialing could be handled by the Bluetooth device?
I'm no expert, but relying on the nexus dialer seems to be the issue. What baffles me is that when not using Bluetooth and using the Google voice search, it actually works. If pressing the "pickup/hangup" button actually launched Google voice actions... It would solve the problem as well as give me further hands free operations such as nav and music control.
Anyone know how to make that action occur with Bluetooth button?
As for #2, I actually called nexus device support, and while speaking to the rep plugged in my skull candy ear buds. He confirmed that mic sounded extremely garbled and not understandable. These same ear buds world fine on my old my touch and my girlfriends iPhone. Both of those phones recognize them as basic stereo headphones and keep the handset mic intact.
I'm going to call them back and just get a replacement today. Screen has done the flicker/vertical lines thing now at least once too.
I'm having bt issues with my car stereo. It's after market that worked fine with my GNex. I can pair it with the N4 and it shows Phone Audio, but then after a few seconds disconnects. Could bt be bad on my N4? I normally have the headphone jack plugged in through aux and can take calls that way, but I'd like to get bt working again.
Update: after powering off the stereo and powering it back on it seems to be connecting ok

Just checked... Blue ant uses its own voice recognition to pair contacts with numbers and thereby bypasses phone voice dialer. That's why it works for you.
I just got a SMH10 as well. I am able to voice dial okay as well as use google music, what I don't like is no access to Google Now without handling the phone (which would require me to stop and get my phone out of my pocket). Not sure if this is an issue with the SMH10, or with android 4.2.x.
I know it's been over a month since you posted in here, curious about your usage and if you have found any tricks to get google now to work in place of the voice dialer only. Since google now should handle voice dialing I am hoping to get that to work so I can also use the navigation when needed.
Sending a note to Sena as well to see if they have a solution as well.
Hands free out-calling issue
As of last week the bluetooth hands free calling feature was working fine on my Nexus 4. A couple days ago I went to call out using the hands free, and the display on my car stereo went blank for a few seconds and came up saying 'Not Supported'. I can receive calls fine, but for whatever reason the hands free voice recognition doesn't want to open when I ask it to now. Anyone have a similar problem?

I've had exactly the same thing happen. Weeks and weeks of working voice dialing through my Blueant S4. Now, it doesn't work at all. Incoming calls can be answered, but I can't dial out by voice.
