Is there any way to make the Nexus 7 place calls through google voice in the same manner that you can on a desktop computer??
Skype?

I too am interested in this. I use Google voice callback on my phone.... But it doesn't work on the tablet. It looks for the phone.

Google plus $5 Groove IP app turns the Nexus 7 into a speakerphone with unlimited calls and unlimited SMS within North America over WIFI.
There are several threads on this already, but GrooveIP or Talkatone is what you want.

Possibility of an app that allows the WiFi only N7 to send & receive SMS & MMS
There are apps that allow the sending and receiving of SMS & MMS from a computer via your phone would it be possible for such an app to be created to do the same but using the N7 instead of using a computer?

Thanks, didn't know any apps were available that did that. I've gone for TabletTalk because it has call features as well.
Does the sound from the TabletTalk app get routed through the N7 or direct from the teathered phone, e.g have a wired headset plugged into phone and use N7 as the dialer using TabletTalk?

No worries, to be fair never actually taken the plunge and used either of them.
Just knew they existed !
And probably better to go for TabletTalk as its developed by an XDA member !
Have fun and glad I helped

You can do that yes. As far as I am aware the only limitation tablet talk has is that incoming audio cannot be fed through the tablet (limitation in android itself)
You can still use the mic to chat but you either need to have a headset connected to your phone (wired/bt) or you can activate your phones speakerphone through tablet talk.

Tablet Talk works great, Real shame can't use the built in mic/speaker, would use it for calls in that case.
textab lite also works well. Ive been using that today, kinda testing it out. Havent had any issues at all.
...and if you want wifi calls, GrooveIP works well.

Groove IP And Google voice are great if you live in or around the US. Sadly they are pretty much useless for us Europeans.

I like Google Voice as well for basic texting over wifi. But, you can't do mms or use the short codes in place of phone numbers.

The problem with that is you don't get replies to it, I used to use the Orange version when I was on Orange years ago.

That's Ok as I tend to take my Sony Live Key out with me for Google Music and just in case I need to make and receive a phone call, but texting seems a pain on the 4.2" screen of my Sony Xperia Arc S compared to the larger screen of the N7.
The Dev has done a good visual job with Tablet Talk as the Dialer and Messaging look like the ICS/JB Stock ones and the quick reply popup is so convenient.

I'd love to see Google Voice come to the UK as I'd use it instead of my phone in the house then use it to reply to any replies that I get when I'm out of WiFi coverage and only have 3G coverage.

Does the N7 support hands free headsets for the likes of using Google Voice or is it only headphones and the Ok device mics for that?

This lag when answering an incoming call on Nexus 4 is really annoying. Regardless of which ROM.
Could it be network related or the device itself?
I am on T-Mobile. Anyone else on T-Mo experiencing this issue?
nope. what kernel are you using.
Yep. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.

There was a recent commit to CM that may help this, it allowed for opening of the audio stream before the RIL had notified that the call was connected.

I didn't have this issue with G2 so I'm not used to answer lag. I can live with it I guess.
Used to happen on my desire HD think it is a jelly bean thing
I have also used giffgaff sim and Vodafone both do the same
Really annoying and such a simple thing should be sorted!
Glad other people have posted this cause I thought it was just me lol

Just chiming in - same problem here on carrier TDC in Denmark, stock ROM.
There's a bug report on it here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42525
So annoying, can't believe there aren't more ppl complaining about this :/
Stock rom + Franco Kernel here on rev 11
Having the same issues. Didn't notice this with my first nexus 4 got a replacement and every incoming call has a two to three second delay.
I have the same problem, it is very annoying, had plenty of smartphones before and none of them had this issue. Galaxy Nexus was my previous device and there was no delay. With Nexus 4 there is a delay and it is device related, or at least device combined with T-Mobile.
Seems like nobody at google uses this device, everyone just acts dumb like you are the only person experiencing the issue if you complain about it.
Just got the update to 4.2.2, and it seems to have fixed this problem for me.
Tested it a few times by calling the Nexus 4 from a land line, and voice came through almost instantly every time. At least as fast as you can lift the phone up to your ear after answering.
Is there any possibility that 4.2.2 update will bring GSM voice calling facility to N73G??

It's technical possible, but take a look at the positions of the microphones. They are not right placed for voice calling like a real phone, it wouldn't be a great experience to use it. And btw isn't it too big to call someone?

Maybe he wants to call add he uses it but with a headset. Don't have to put it up against your ear.. Looks funny though. my girl and I called each other with gtalk and she had it on her ear

I have the 98/33 radio with stock ROM and kernal running 4.4.4. I am rooted and have ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 in my build prop. I went to a T-Mobile store and made a call from an S5 which has the HD indicator and it did not light up when I called or when I received a call.
I am at a loss as to if our nexus 4 is capable to have this work on T-Mobile.

sure. I get HD calls all the time, on my n4 and n5. it'll only happen if the other phone is connected to HD calling as well. when you called your phone from an s5, what didn't light up? the n4 doesn't have any kind of indicator, but you can hear the difference in quality.
What radio are u running? What are your settings? I verified with a phone S5 which has an HD indicator and it was not lit when I called it or received a call.

because i use my nexus 5 mostly. sometimes I'll use my n4 as a daily, but usually its the n5 as a daily and the n4 as a WiFi device. last week I used my n4 as my daily(phone) for a day and was getting slightly faster speeds on my n4 than my n5(64mbps download/21mbps upload). and I've never had an issue with the radio, so I keep using it. oh, and I'm using KitKat, 444(lichtis rastakat).
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
try using the lte APN, maybe it'll make a difference.
I've flashed the 84/33 modem and will test it out at a T-Mobile store that has a working S5. If the HD is working, the S5 indicator will show HD. That is the only way that I can verify if it is working.
SMS/MMS
I think the question should be who makes calls anymore
After going to a T-Mobile store which has a working HD indicator phone(S5), I can report that the nexus 4 does NOT support HD voice. I tried all of the radio combinations and the indicator would not work on the S5.
Unless there is a codec that can be installed, I don't believe our phone has the hardware to support this function.
I reserve the right to be wrong and hope someone can show me how and why I am!

just like I claim it does, so do they http://www.anandtech.com/show/6594/tmobile-announces-amrwb-hd-voice-calls-active-on-its-network
I placed a number of calls between T-Mobile users last night to try and gauge any perceptible difference. I've previously heard AMR-WB demos and run loopback calls on the Anritsu base station emulator, and there is a perceptible difference. I originated a call on a Nexus 4 and terminated it on a Nexus 4 with both on T-Mobile, which sounded excellent, and then between an iPhone 5 (attached to PCS WCDMA here in Las Vegas) and a Nexus 4, which also sounded very different than an AT&T AMR-NB originated and terminated call. I need to do more testing back home, but T-Mobile's claims that this is live right now and working seem credible, calls sounded crisp and much more intelligible than some of the AMR-NB calls I've been on.

I am basing my info on fact, not feeling. You need two working phones that support HD. The S5 displays if HD is working. It did not display when I tried all radio combos. I also tried the sine wave on some of the radios with nothing to report. If someone can report that the 2nd device they are testing has an HD indicator, and it does work, we can have a conversation.

maybe the s5 can't tell if its connected to a HD call with a nexus? I have a s4 as well as a n5. Samsung has some really crappy software for sure.
One of the reps in the store had an IPhone 5S and and it worked, so the only other reliable test is the sine wave.

Just like the whole 4K TV craze and 1440 x 2560 display resolution on phones...

Nexus 4 does not support HD Voice in hardware. It had a software support for HD Voice till 4.3 , then it was droped.
So, unfortunately, you will get no HD Voice on Nexus 4 with kitkat.
According to anandtech nexus 4 supports hd voice however it isn't on the T-Mobile whitelist. The nexus 5 however is.
From the link:
" I’m actually very impressed with how well the Nexus 5 performed at rejecting noise using the normal babble distractor track I use. In addition this was a T-Mobile AMR-WB “HD Voice” call between two Nexus 5s, illustrating that the Nexus 5 is indeed in the T-Mobile whitelist for HD Voice.
As an aside, the Nexus 4 oddly enough still hasn’t been green lit for HD Voice on T-Mobile, and given its age probably never will at this point, although the hardware is entirely capable."

I remember having this working a long ass time ago, (working with N4 to N4 calls) and some kind of upgrade killed it and it hasn't worked since. I'm now testing with N4 to N5, and can't get it to work. I can test the N5 with other phones and it sounds clear as day different, but the N4 just doesn't work.
I've tried flashing these custom radios on my stock 4.4.4, even modded the build.prop, yet I can't get the thing to work. Anybody else able to get it working?
