I would like to do this for free (or as cheap as possible).
When I go to the gym I bring my 10.1 Tab in with me and I watch Netflix while I work out. I hate carrying my phone in there PLUS my tab. Is there any possible way that you guys can think of where I can somehow forward my calls and text messages to my tab to come to me over the gym Wifi????
Would love to hear your thoughts.
There are three relatively popular solutions to your question.
[-] The first is SyncSMS, by d0lph1nK1ng. It syncs text messages, using a Dropbox account (you'll need to sign up for one, but it's free for the amount of space required for something like this). You don't need the phone in close proximity to the tablet, but a network connection is required on both devices. Push notifications are available, although as a 'beta' feature.
[-] The second is TexTab, by howettl. It uses Bluetooth to make the transfers, so no Dropbox-style file hosting service is required, however you need the phone to be in the tablet's Bluetooth range.
[-] The third option, which I use, is Google Voice. I prefer the integration (no relying on phone range, file sharing sites, or polling). I receive voicemail notifications and the ability to listen to them in the same inbox. I love the setup. A lot. Phone/tablet/chrome (on my docked laptop) are all notified within three seconds of each other when a new text is received. Google voice uses push notifications on all devices (incl. Chrome, although not technically a device), which has been awesome on my Tab 10.1 in my experience.
Polling is commonly used when push notifications aren't an available feature. This is when an app repeatedly checks every X amount of seconds/minutes/etc. for new messages, instead of being notified from the cloud/other device. Receiving a normal text on your phone is a push notification. It's pushed to your phone. Facebook checking for new friend requests every hour is polling.
Ferris upon has a new app called Verizon Messages that can allow you to sync text messages between your phone and tablet if they are connected too the same wifi network.

Thanks all!!!
This more than covers the text message part of the equation. Any good ideas how to forward phone calls???

You would need to call forward your mobile phone to GrooveIP. This is backwards from what people normally do though(they forward calls from GV# to their phones). hehe
Wait wait wait
I love the Google voice idea for text messages but I'm assuming he wants to reply to his text messages from his phone carrier. He won't be able to do that with Google voice. He will have to use his Google voice number which is a pain.

Not correct, inbound calls to my Google voice number ring on my wifi tab when I'm signed into grooveIP. I don't forward the carrier assigned cell phone number.

Not if he has Sprint, which it looks like he does.
Google and Sprint have partnered to allow your Sprint mobile number to be your GV number. All texts I send from my 10.1 using GV come from my regular cell phone number. Super slick....

I use groove ip with a Google voice assigned nbr. Used to have the gv nbr forwarded to my phone (droidx). To get the nbr working for both inbound and outbound calls on this tab I had to send the nbr to Google chat. You have to do this in a full browser in your Google account options. Of course you need connection to a Wifi network.

I think people either misunderstood the question (or the answers / solutions just sucked). I am looking for the same things. When I desire, I would like to have my phone in my pocket / backpack etc, and be able to use my tablet as a phone. When somene calls my phone, I'd like it to "ring" my tablet. When some texts me, I'd like to see it on my tablet. Moreover, I'd like to be able to place calls from my tablet (using my phone number). (I know you can use google voice and skype, etc. but I want it to use my phone with my phone number and appear in my call log and my tmobile monthly bill).
1) Is this already possible? (If so, what is the software called.)
2) If this is not already possible, is it possible given the exposed APIs of android?
I use GrooveIP and Google Voice with my Sprint number.. SMS and phone work great on Tab and on my SGS2 Epic 4G Touch..
you should try skype?

It's the perfect solution and good for some smiles also.
I was sitting on the couch using my laptop PC and a call came in on Google voice. It rang on my land line, it rang on my Galaxy Nexus phone, it rang on my Galaxy Tab and it also rang on my laptop via Gmail. All 4 places had a different ring tone. My wife and I just looked at each other and cracked up laughing.

Yes. I do this with Google Voice and Grove IP.
When someone calls my Google Voice number it rings in 6 places: 1) Personal Cell phone, 2) Galaxy Tab, 3) Laptop PC (via Gmail), 4) Home phone land line, 5) My office desk phone, 6) Office cell phone.
The only downside to this is that I people always know they can get me on the phone.
This also presumes that people call your Google Voice number instead of your cell phone number. It takes a while to train people but after a few months everybody will be using the Google Voice number. In fact, I have no idea what the phone number of my office cell phone is. I'd have to look in settings if someone needed to know.
If you're not using Google Voice do it now. It's a little effort but the payback is BIG.
Also, this makes for some very humorous scenarios. For example, I was in San Jose visiting my daughter. We were in a crowd and got separated. She called me using my Google Voice number. It rang on all of the devices listed above but before I could answer on my cell phone my wife picked up the land line at home which was 400 miles away. My daughter was confused, "Mom? How did I get you? I was calling dad." "Just call again and I won't pick up the phone," says my wife. My daughter called again and this time I answered.
Here's a HUGE benefit of Google Voice:
You can put people into groups. Then you can handle each group differently. For example you can make it so those in the "Office coworkers" group never get passed to your cell or home phone after 8pm. I have a group called Spam. When a I find out a number calling is a telemarketer I put that number into the Spam group. When someone in the Spam group calls me it is NEVER sent to any of my phones. It's my own personal "Do Not Call" list. Google Voice is very powerful.
More Google Voice benefits:
- When someone sends a text message you can have it forwarded to all cell phones and tablets and also your gmail account.
- When someone leaves a voicemail message it will be translated into text and then sent via text messaging. It can also be sent to your email. And, by the way, an attached voice file is included. When you play the voicemail back it highlights the text like a karaoke machine. Very cool.
- ALL Of your text messages and all of your voicemail are stored in you Google Voice mail account. You'll never lose a text or voicemail again. You can log into any browser and retrieve them. And, if you get a new phone all the old text messages immediately show up.

How do I set it up so it still rings on both the tab AND the computer? I assumed this would be the default setting but since installing GrooVe IP, calls only get forwarded to my tab and cell phone but not google chat on the computer anymore. I have to log out on my tab for calls to go to my computer. Any ideas on how I can change that?
Cheers!

I have to admit that I have no idea how it rings on my laptop or what setting it takes to make it ring. I do know it's a part of Gmail. I don't think I'd ever answer a call there. It surprised me at first I had to look around to figure out that the ringing was coming from my laptop.
Hi Guys/Gals,
There is actually an app in the market that does just this.... its called tablet talk and connects over Bluetooth or wifi. Its not free but worth every penny. You only need to purchase it once and install on both devices, it will sync your txt messages and allow you to send/receive on your tablet. The best thing about this app is that it will notify you of an incoming call from you phone right on your tablet From your contacts and allow you to mute the call or hang it up.
Go check it out... you will be glad you did.
Cheers
Mark

It is called Table Talk. And you have to install it to your phone and tablet from the Market.
I can't believe you guys don't know this.
I purchased the N4 today from T-Mobile and upon restoring my apps I noticed that there were at least 6-7 updates for different Google apps, Google Voice being one of them. I was happy to see that considering that folks who already had the N4 reported it being broken on 4.2 and I don't pay for a text messaging plan with GV. I ported my number to GV a few years ago and while I love the flexibility there have always been some bugs depending on the device and build and a lack of updates that make it less than perfect.
After setting it up which happened without any errors or crashes I was pleasantly surprised upon my first incoming text message and clicking the notification to find that I could see an android emoji which the native voice app doesn't support. Also the threaded conversation looked different and then I realized.... texts were coming through the default messaging app as opposed to GV. Fired off some new messages and some replies and sure enough recipients were seeing my GV # as opposed to my sim #! Opened GV and found the each new outgoing and incoming message there as well.
Can any other GV users confirm this?
I use GV for texts as well. This would be a great concern if it send through the standard SMS app/Cell number. Once i receive my gnex i will be testing this
If you look at the notes for the GV app in the Play Store, it mentions this.

I'm in the US and under what's new it list:
Bugfixes.
Now integrated with Android 4.0 visual voicemail.
Direct access to folders from the inbox in Android 4.0
It doesn't make any mention of what I'm describing about the default messaging app. If you're using GV to avoid paying for a text message plan and are incurring charges because of this new change you'd want to know. In the US we get charged for incoming and outgoing.
this must only be on the n4 cause the gnex it is still coming thru the google voice app
You might want to check if your google Voice's setting is setup correctly/changed. If "Receive text messages on this phone" is not uncheck, you will get text in defult text app ON TOP of get on in GV app also. Just a guess, N4 not here yet.

Nailed it! I got a new number and did the set-up from the app instead of the Voice Portal. Thanks for the heads up that was it!
Yes i can do that on my gnex but then it uses the random google voice number as the number in the stock messaging app. Is this what you guys are getting or does it finally fully integrate?

Can some more people confirm that this is working? I am trying to decide on whether to port my number to GV or to Tmobile prepaid.
I have one other question as well. Is it syncing with the contacts actual number or does GV still assign your contact a new number through GV?
Thanks
OK, my problem is the voice update is requiring me to send a text through ATT to set up voice. I have texting blocked through ATT.
Any one know a way around this so I can use voice for texting and voicemail again???

I'm in the same spot -- getting ready to switch over from Verizon to Nexus 4/Straight Talk and would like to port my number over to Google Voice, but I really dont' want to unless the whole thing can be seemless (Phone and Text). I don't really MMS, so that's not much of a concern.
My thought at this point is to get my Nexus 4 (ordered, just waiting for delivery), install the newest Google Voice, and run some text tests with a friends phone to see if my current Google Voice number (not ported, but shouldn't matter) displays properly using the deafult text program on the Nexus 4. If (and when) all of that happens, I'll be sure to post an update here...
Everything is working as it should. The problem I experienced was because I got a new number and did the setup from the Google voice app instead of the web portal. The app doesn't give you all the configuration options such as not sending text messages to the phones default messaging app. Do your setup from voice.google.com and you'll be fine. Also if you're new to the service you can verify your number with a phone call instead of text message shouldn't be an issue if your plan has no text messaging.

I received my nexus 4 yesterday and google voice started up just fine. completely separate from my regular SMS 'Messaging' app. I haven't tried GV voice mail taking over my regular one yet.

kchino -- Just so I understand, you are able to use the default messaging app to send text messages through your Google Voice number? If so, that's fantastic...I just may current number to Verizon after all!
Yes, you can send text directly through the default messaging app using your gv #. If for instance you have the gv web portal option set that sends your incoming gv # texts to your phone, opposed to just the gv app - it works as traditional carrier texting but with your gv #. This is what confused me in my original post.
Like most who port their cell numbers to gv I don't pay my carrier for text messaging that saves me over $200 a year, I use the gv voicemail as well. The gv app uses data for messaging and you can't send mms. I typically just hide the default messaging app in the launcher because any texting from it will cost me. I'd prefer to use the default app, it definitely is a better ui but again if you use the default app you'll be charged by your carrier.

Is this what you're using?
Can you explain your setup?
I'm on the tmobile prepaid and using my GV number exclusively. Part of that means replying to texts from gv so nobody sees my tmobile number. fine, the gv text support and notification options such, but whatever.
The problem is that I Tasker to give a voice I'd for text messages. ie, incoming message from Bob. I also have emergency codes to the phone in case it's lost/stolen or someone needs to contact me ASAP. Tasker doesn't support the gv app.
I was using the gv text integration app from the play store with my gnex, but its not liking either the nexus 4 or the update to 4.2. anyone have experience with other methods?
I only want messages to go to the native app so Tasker sees them. Not to ever be actually opened and read.
ps, sorry about the bad spelling and grammar. I'm still half asleep in bed on my phone.

Bump. I have been looking for a solution to this for a long time and never found one. I didn't have much luck with that app when I used it on my GN either :/
Anyone figure this out yet? I tried to download the Visual Voicemail from the Play Store and it shows as non-compatible. I tried the older Visual Voice Mail for Nexus by Verizon and it doesn't set up, it just hangs. I've been getting these weird text messages every time I get a voicemail (900080006202 //VZWVVM:SYNC:ev....). I have to dial *86 to retrieve messages.
I set up Google Voice on mine and I'm on VZW. I haven't fully tested it yet, but I have the history of previous voicemail all downloaded again in the app, so it looks like it's working.

visual voicemail is a problem. i had it turned off and basic turned on now i get the normal voicemail notification.. i was getting the same cryptic sms messages.
I called CS and told them to turn off VVM and just leave basic. I'm still getting the cryptic text messages and there is no way for me to know if I have a voice mail waiting. I'll try again and report back.
I was on the phone with tier 2 tech support this morning. We downloaded a couple apps. Couldn't get any of them to work. He didn't have any idea how long it will take to get it. He said continue to check for updates. Eventually, something will be released. I remember it took awhile for the N6 app to be released from Motorola.
I use phone fusion now. The transcription service is much better than youmail or Google voice. The app isn't so great, but it does the trick.

I talked to another CS rep and he successfully removed VVM. With basic voice mail, I no longer get the cryptic text messages and now I get prompted when there is voice mail waiting. I then successfully configured Google Voice to handle my voicemails and now my voice mails appear in the native dialer's voice mail tab after I selected the "Voicemail display" option in the Google Voice app. All is well and will await VZW's support for the 6P.
I've been using youmail for a couple of years now. I've never used VVM from verizon. They take enough of my money.... Not giving them another dime over what I have to. Youmail is free. I've liked it. Not for everyone but worth a try
For my Nexus 6p on Verizon I had to get google voicemail, change to GV for default VM in Call settings, and dial *71XXXXXXX (GV number). The text should not appear now that GV will pick up the notification. This means voicemail will be saved in your GV and not on Verizon. Until Verizon includes 6p as a compatible device for its visual voicemail app, this would be the solution. FYI, there is a visual voicemail Nexus that we can download. That doesn't work either.

Yeah, I just chatted with CS and asked them to remove Visual Voice Mail from my line. Once She did that i stopped getting the odd texts and started getting the regular notifications again.
I managed to get the visual voicemail that I backed up from my 6. it shows in my apps but when you try to open This app is not supported on this device. I hope verizon can update it or someone hack the apk to make it work.

So, I spoke a little too soon on this one lol.
I spent all day yesterday trying to get it to work. What finally worked for me was going on my desktop to the Google Voice website, and from there, disabling voicemail for my line and then re-enabling. For some reason, the number the site had me punch in for *71XXXXXXXXXX, where the X's represent your Google number, was different than what both my app and what the Google Voice homepage on my desktop showed. Works great now. (Except I'd like to figure out how to sync the voicemail screen in the Phone app with the GV app.)

What a pain. I was also receiving the cryptic text messages. I spent about 30 minutes in chat with Verizon. They actually told me the phone was not supported on their network. They claimed "The imei number should begin with 35 or 99". "It does not work in our system. That device imei number is registered to a Huawei" I explained who Huawei was and that the phone worked fine except for voice mail. I got Google Voice setup while I was in chat. They never would acknowledge that this phone should work fine. They did finally say "If it recognized the device, I am sure the visual voicemail problems would disappear!" and "check back with us within a few days just to see if there is an update!"

The product known as Verizon Visual Voicemail is not free in my experience. They charge $2.99 per month to use it. The new Android Visual Voicemail built into Marshmallow is free, once Verizon supports it. This maybe obvious to you, but just throwing it out there for anyone else that comes across this.

Gotcha. I had to double check I did find out that there's a Premium version for $2.99. I have Basic which is Free for me. Obviously as we established currently not working on my 6P and I'm using YouMail. LOL

To sync the phone dialer voicemail screen with GV, you have to open up GV and in settings tick the box for Voicemail display.

Yeah now that I've figured out Google voice. It's great having it right in the dialer and also having the ability to get transcripts (although often poorly) in the app and my email is awesome. It just seems so natural with the nexus. Doubt I'll go back. It's free, just a pain to set up initially. Seamless now. Key is logging into Google voice on the desktop to get it set up properly.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did already have this checked, and the phone log does receive voicemails, but deleting from the log doesn't seem to delete from the Voice app itself, or move it to the trash folder...does it for you?

I use Google Voice instead of Verizon for my voicemail. You can get Google Voice texts & voicemails in Hangouts on the web and app: link for help
On my Nexus 6p, I get my voicemail in the Hangouts apps, no need to install Google Voice. Voicemail audio/transcription appear in Hangouts. I have a Pebble watch, I can read my voicemail messages on my wrist.
Hope this helps!
I have a S8 Oreo on Verizon, using Textra (have also had same issue in Android messages and Pulse), gboard every time I use voice to text via gboard it transcribes what I say and when it stops it says "Google has stopped". (Open app again Send feedback.) If I send feedback the keyboard and or voice to text won't work but I can send feedback report. In texting I can just click re open app and it will function normally until I finish my next voice to text. Any help appreciated as I would like to get rid of this error. I factory reset and still get this issue. Have had phone about a year no issues. TIA
Do what I did. ./adb that MoFo out of your phone and use Samsung's keyboard?
