Kindle Fire HDX LTE - Make Cellular Telephone Calls ? - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General

Hi,
Can anyone please verify if the Kindle Fire HDX can make standard phones calls ? When I say Standard I mean over the celluar network opposed to VOIP or SIP ?
Thanks

No. Amazon modified the activity in Phone.apk, and if you want to make phone call using that way, nothing would happen. But since I can receive the SMS (yes, only receive, will show as a notification, and no way to reply/send), I thought it is possible to enable phone call feature with lots of work.

now that it's rooted, everything can happen on the HDX, wait and try the CM11

scx110a,
Could you tell me if SIM cards on HDX is removable or not (because of T-Mobile on your screenshot it looks like it is)? If it is, how hard is it to change it and is it similar to HD 8.9 (youtube.com/watch?v=flsyBX3PUkw)?

Certainly removable, and it's a NANO SIM (the same as iPhone 5), you only need a SIM pin to eject the sim tray (still same as iPhone 5). And I think it is similar to HD 8.9.

Any ideas which version of HDX 8.9 will work with TMO nano sim card?

Can anyone confirm if the KIndle Fire HDX 8.9 will work with T-Mobile? I've been searching but can't find a definitive answer.

I don't think there is, the phone.apk file's been altered. Your best bet is to just use a VOIP service.

Video Chat (same as the TyTn II)

I have the HTC Apache (XV6700) with WM6, and my friend has the HTC Hermes (8525) with WM6 too. His phone screen has an option for video call, but it doesn't work. Is there any info on this? I don't have that option on my WM6 version.
I'm assuming AT&T has a video chat feature (or maybe will have one soon). I saw on a review site for the TyTn II (here is a link http://smartmobilegadgets.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/htc-tytn-ii-the-ultimate-mobile-companion/) The phone has a camera in the front that acts as a video chat.
Is there any way to get this working on our phones?
Here is a pic from the link above.

Even if you could get it working would you really want to? Lets think about this for a minute...your camera is on the back of the phone..so you would have to choose whether you wanted to see the person on the other end or turn the phone around so they can see you. Kinda defeats the purpose of "video chat" doesn't it? Additionally they are a 3g device that can handle data and a phone call at same time. The apache is not..it handles data OR a phone call.
Some people are just clueless. You have a phone designed for a CDMA network. NO CARRIER in US offers true video calling right now. (cingular's video share is useless if you ask me). What makes you think it would work ?!

Top Paid Section missing in Android Market for Nexus One?

My top paid section is missing in the Android Market for the Nexus One. Anyone else see this? is there a reason why??
No its there. Are you in a not-yet-supported country? Maybe your provider hasn't done the necessary paperwork. Post some info!
that's odd. I am with tmobile. I did sign onto the market initially with WIFI and then with 3G. Anyone know how to correct this? I have to totally reformat? or can I just clear my market cache or something?
having the same issue, on t-mobile, i also went on with wifi before putting my sim in
Might wanna try a hard reset this time using 3G first to see what happens.
sorry to be a mega noob but i don't know how to hard reset it, i tried holding the ball and the power button and i get this fast boot screen thing.
edit: nevermind i found it, i feel stupid
edit2: that fixed the problem
Recently is disappeared the column of paid apps from my market

}
They are present in "just in" and in the research, but the column is missing.
Is there a solution that does not involve the wipe?
I had this problem until I finally put my sim in. The market appearently uses the sim to validate your location. Could be you need a new sim from T-Mobile and there is some issue with yours.
I spent about three days setting up mine before moving the sim over and used wifi for everything. Once I put in the sim everything worked fine and it showed all the paid apps.
I have never had that Paid apps in my Market section.. I ordered my Nexus One and had my brother ship it over to me in Kuwait. It never saw my ATT sim card, only a local Wataniya SIM card.. Guess it will have to wait till I get home to be able to use that feature!
This helped me: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...daco-com/303251/paid-apps-android-market-1-6/
In special, the last part about the xml.

Thanks!!
It works!!

Does anyone know if I can use my phone as a keyboard/mouse for the MK908?

I just got an MK908 and wanted to use my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) or my Nexus 7 tablet as a wireless or bluetooth keyboard for the MK908. Does anyone know how I can do this? I would like to avoid buying a mini-keyboard.

Droidmote Client works well. It works much better than the free alternatives out there.
In the end, however, I ended up buying a Logitech K400 keyboard b/c it worked even better.

Hello
I am in the same situation.
And yes it is possible.
Droidmote is a solution.
I am trying RKremotecontrol. I just installed it yesterday evening but I didn't had enough time to test it.
It seems to work but I don't know yet it it's a good way.
I got an example in youtube but , I am a new user here and I can't post a link
Search for this keywords: "Remote control app for RK3066 on MK802 III "
N.B: (This tool is installed in a MK908 custom rom from a certain Finless)
Tell us what you try
Yes you can, there is several solutions, search the Playstore (Droidmote, Tablet Remote) or what LeTFiD told you : RKremotecontrol, a dedicated/native solution for all RK devices.

[VIDEO] Non-Verizon Nexus 6 VoLTE Working

Make sure you have HD Voice provisioned on your account https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/accountholder/services/displayProductsServices.action click on Manage Your Products, add HD Voice, should provision in ~15min
If you're not seeing Enhanced LTE, dial *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, scroll to turn on VoLTE flag, restart device or put into Airplane Mode
Now go to Settings ---> More ---> Cellular Networks and Enhanced LTE should now be enabled

Not working for me.....button in *#*#4636#*#* never changes to anything and I never have option in more settings
I think the key to getting this to work is to be on a 5.1 ROM.... I tried with 5.01 and the new baseband, but I think the settings are in the ROM.
Correct, you need to be on 5.1 for VoLTE
dissapears
i can get it on my phone but as soon as i go to use it i lose lte and then my advance option disappears. could it be possible my sim card doesn't support volte? I had to use a sim from an iphone 5 to get service. I think that sim is different from one that's in a M8 or moto x. Any input would be appreciated.
Edit- got it working by going on Verizon and removing hd voice and the adding it back. SIM card is fine..
Thanks Worked Like a charm. Finally the one major thing I wanted on the N6
Worked for me, but took about 5 - 10 minutes to provision. Thanks!
Worked for me, purchased directly from moto

S8 - Strange software

Hi there, just purchased a new S8 today form an Asian electonics market. Seems to have some form of modifled XFINITY mobile software on it as the phone boots with the XFINITY logo and the carrier says XFINITY even though I am on a local network.
I have posted some info below on the software version but would be usfull to see if anybody had seen a version like this before and if they had any issues with it.
Happy to post any other details if it helps

Download Phone INFO(Samsung app) from play store and it will have more info and also find out exact model #. By the screenshot I see it says G950U and it seems to be US model.

Thanks guys, see below for screenshots from the app:
Seems to look fine, but curious what is tricking the phone to work with another sim but still displaying XFINITY as the carrier.
Looks like you bought a phone that was originally from Xfinity Mobile(us carrier). Pics aren't loading (might be my phone tbh), so can't say much more lol.
