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.

I want Google VOICE ACTIONS on 2.1

I know voice actions is only available on android 2.2, is there anyway we can get the .Apk file for our 2.1

I want Voice Actions too. I've been pretty happy with Vlingo as a substitute though.

You can install it manually. I did it a few weeks ago and its been fine.

Google is yur friend, but here. Youll prob have to download an app installer from the market and also make sure you have have checked the phone to allow installation of 3rd party apps.

I already have voice search which is great. But I want voice actions, which is only available on 2.2
vlingo is good, but I'd rather use Google's stuff. Stupid X10 not upgrading to 2.2
And I did do a google search first and couldn't find an .apk for voice actions.
Anybody?!!!

I was going to use Vlingo but it only supports spanish on blackberrys.

What I do like about this one, is it follows through and does the action without having to click anything. Example... text, Heather, "Please call me". It actually sends the text message without opening messaging.

Video chatting on galaxy tab

Before I buy galaxy tab, can you use Yahoo messenger or skype to do video chatting?
I am always spending my time talking to my family on weekend talking using video conference using yahoo messenger and skype on my laptop

I normally ignore this but for the sake of this forum, do u know how to search?
If u dunno, u should take at least 5 min to view few paged as this question was repeated few days ago

Here I will answer it. You can video chat w/ yahoo from the tab to any other mobile device and to a windows pc. It will not work w/ a Mac yet.

Thanks for the replied, now I'l buy this tab next weekend. BTW is the cam quality good on video chatting?

I am still looking for an app that will do a video chat between my Tab and a PC.
I've tried Yahoo, Skype, oovoo and 2 others that I can't remember off the top of my head... NONE of them work.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Not for sure why yahoo didn't work cause I used a Mac w/ a windows vm installed and the video chat worked just fine between the tab and the computer. Did you install the video plugin for yahoo.

To legally use skype you have to have verizon network (can someone fact-check that?) or the app won't install.
The front camera of the tab is 1.3 mega pixels. It is adequate for the task. There is some microphone button issue - you use it like a walkie talkie, or art last you have to remember to push it sometimes. Can you please post back here your results?

I wouldn't see why skype would just limit themselves to vzw network. I will try and install skype tomorrow on my sprint tab.

I was mistaken - I downloaded skype from the market, and installed, then set up an account. But it only calls over wifi, not 3g. And you have to pay. I want to learn about voip.

That is because skype has not released a version w/ video chat for android.

Those of us with non-stock roms don't have Qik.

Tango in the market works great. My friend installed it on his ipod touch and we were able to have a video conference without issue. I was on 3G he was on wifi.

FYI - Skype calls work fine over 3G on a Euro Tab on Euro networks. If it is not working over 3G for you it is probably being blocked by your carrier.
O/T though as Skype doesn't support video calling on Android as yet.

..going back to the title of the thread, where the heck is video chatting?I installed the latest YM and the imVideo plugins but the video chat option is nowhere to be found. Apparently you can make a Video call (i tried it, it used the rear facing camera, was able to "connect" (i got this call timer thing go up) but then neither of us could hear anything over the line. This was thru 3G by the way, calling a PC.
Where indeed is video chat?

Video calling between tab and pc is working via oovoo. Install the latest oovoo for your pc and the oovoo app from the market. The screen orientation has been fixed.

I use oovoo and it has worked the best. Ive tried as many apps I could find. Oovoo works from app to app, app to pc, android to iphone, all for free unless you want to do conference calls; then you need to pay. 1 to 1 is free.

Nope! Oovoo doesn't work correctly. The orientation of the forward facing cam is 90 degrees out and there's no config to reorient it.

Short answer is Yahoo Messenger works, like crap. Oovoo works as well, with issues.. All of the other video chat (handset->pc and handset->handset) programs I've used suck, wifi, 4g no matter. I've tried on my HTC EVO, MyTouch4g and Galaxy Tab with most of the free ones available. Qik's quality is not very good at all but it tends to work between tablet and phone.
The galaxy tab's front facing camera is nice and clear though for it's purposes. You will probably find yourself in better luck using your headset as well.
Also, i'm not really sure if it was installed with cm7 or not but the t-mobile version of Qik is installed on the mytouch4g, seems to work as well as it did with the stock rom.

Sipdroid on the Transformer

Is anyone here using Sipdroid (or another VOIP app) on their Transformer? I have it set up and I can make calls out (they sound pretty good too) but I can only do it using the crappy built-in dialer in the Sipdroid app.
What I'd like to do is use Dialer One (third party dialer app I found on the Play market) and have that dial via Sipdroid. The trouble is when I press the call button, the Sipdroid app flashes on the screen for a split second and it brings me back to the Dialer One screen without making the call.
Anyone know how to integrate the two properly?

I use grooveip and it works great. It intergrates with the phones native dialer pretty well too. Although, on my tf I just use the dialer that is built into the app. I cannot speak to whether it intergrates with the dialer you mentioned, however.

I purchased GrooveIP and found the sound quality to be very poor, especially on the other end. Tons of echo on speaker phone (the only way to call on a tablet). Sipdroid's sounds much better. Just need to get it working with another dialer app...

Why are you using your speakers instead of a headset? GrooveIP was made for Google Voice. As long as it has enough bandwidth and speed it sounds good to me, even out here in Afghanistan.

I use bria well worth the price, used sipdroid on my galaxy s but was very unreliable! since using bria I have absoluely no problems!

I have been using csipsimple for a long time now. I used to use Sipdroid when it was the first and best voip phone, but csipsimple has really been much better for me.

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

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.
