I got my epic recently and use it a lot for work. I have google voice installed so I can make calls over my wifi and not use any minutes. I have ALOT of minutes for work purposes working from home since I have no home phone. While the call works fine, my touch tones do not seem to go across fully. It recognizes some keys like if I press #. However, I always get invalid entry so something isnt working right. Anyone have any idea on how to resolve this?
How are you able to make calls? When I try to do this over wifi, I get an error message saying that i need to be connected to the network even though I am. Please let me know how I can use my wifi connection and make and recieve calls.
I was wrong anyways Google voice just acts as a middle man and still uses minutes. There is a way to use sipgate to use wifi but I haven't yet.

Does it exist on tis tab?
how about on
http://www.sierrawireless.com/Newsr...Wireless_4G_LTE_Mobile_Broadband_Network.aspx
which may be the card going in the xoom?
Lastly if the hardware exists on an lte device, should it be possible to make calls work by switching the sim card with a lte phone sim?
I think that if you would like to place phone calls with your Xoom using the cell radio its possible to find a way. Verizon might not be happy with it.
However, Its the hard way to place calls.
Sigh up with a VoIP provider, and use a SIP Client.
I like a provider named Vitelity. You can port your number to them if you would like. They are very inexpensive, and very reliable. (or use Skype, or anyone else.)
Then, use a SIP dialer and a Bluetooth headset on your Xoom. I am doing just that using Verizon 3g and it works great.
I have signed up for skype and have a number, but skype seems to have no interest in real BT support, neither does Google. If I could force Skype to use the mic on a BT< I could likely live with it, but AFAIK that is not possible.
This all be in another forum, however I am using CSIPSimple and it supports my plantronic BT voyager 510, (on Honeycomb)
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-510&skuId=sku4610016
And, CSIPSimple opens the default Android Dialer (Which is in Honeycomb) to send and receive calls.
Would you mind testing it to be sure?
If so, place a call, leave your pad and walk like 15 feet and see if you are still heard.
Please don't be offended, I have just had WAY to many people say the same thing as you, only to find out A2DP let them hear, and they were using the tab mic without knowing it.
Hmmm.. I will check later tonight. That is a good question.
Thanks young... anyone else use csip too?
The hardware is capable, the problem is with the provisioning. Verizon adds feature codes to block voice and SMS on their tablet data plans.
what stops us from switching sims later to make our tablets look like a phone?

So then? Any tablet outside of the us ( or Verizon) is able
To standard phonecalls?
I'm in the uk and I was planning to buy the 3g version but if I still have to carry a phone to txt or call, i'll choose the WiFi one, save 200 bucks, and tether with my nexus when needed although I'm not very happy with the idea of carrying multiple devices...
Btw , 3g version has been priced in.....600 pounds! What are they playing at? If I finally choose wifionly I'll buy for sure in the US, screw carphone and pcworld..

I think you are asking a question that no one can answer at the moment.
LTE does use a SIM card, but, NO devices are currently available on Verizon's LTE network yet, so no one knows what happens if you switch LTE SIM cards between devices.
I also think that LTE devices use a VoIP type of voice connection, something different then how voice is done on CDMA. This new type of connection allows data and Voice to operate at the same time. This functionality, this Software dialer stack would need to be included in Honeycomb, which is not a phone Android distribution.
Young dud you test the bluetooth mic with csip?
Yes. I I have found is that I do have two way audio, all on the Bluetooth headset using csip, I walked around my house, leaving the Xoom several rooms away.
While in WiFi, Bluetooth audio was sketchy at best. For most calls, I could not get the headset in engage for the call. While in the call I would press Bluetooth on the dialer, and nothing would happen, or the audio would cut in and out, before engaging, or a few times I would have to press 'Speaker", then Bluetooth, then Speaker again before it would engage. When it would engage in WiFi I did have two way audio.
While in 3G, with WiFi Off, the connection with Bluetooth was perfect every time. No issues. The call call quality overall was a bit less then with WiFi, however Bluetooth worked correctly.
UPDATE: I just had a bad Bluetooth connection issue on 3G. So, it is spotty. It might be because CSip uses the default Android dialer which might be incomplete in some way on Honeycomb.
I should try another SIP app. But Bluetooth does have two way audio when I can get it to connect.
Hi all,
I am about to buy Tab2 7", just wanted to confirm how is the voice feature of the tab, havent seen any review on the same. Can we make GSM calls in the tab also is there any other tab that has the same feature.

The P3100 version can make calls, send and receive sms just like normal phones.
The P3113 is a wifi only so you can use it to send txt and make calls as long as you're connected to wifi.

I have just unboxed mine and so far the first phone call was just normal,good sound quiality,so problems at all. I purchased the P3100 and as of now I am very,very happy with it,I think I am going to like a lot.
Something that I noticed with Gtalk is that I can make videocalls ,but when another Google user calls me I am not receiving the incoming call,so I can call but I can't receive. I am sure this is just a little issue that will be fixed or that I will be able to fix.
And like I said so far I am very happy with it.
-----UPDATE-----
Ok,so after playing with this toy I can see that the wifi signal is very weak,once I turn off or restart the device it does not reconnect to wifi,so I have to switch off the wifi feature and turn it back on.
Anybody has found a tweak or some sort of settings to improve that.

I face this issue (WiFi) only after updating to ICS 4.0.4
Great tablet worth every penny I have p3100 and it works great. some little problems (doesnt matter for me)
1. No usb charging
2. Overheating on 3G
3. Little bit less responsive touch
What do you do for the wifi signal? Samsung seems to be aware,but they are not of much help.
Does anyone have WIFI calling working with Bluetooth on HD2. I have read through the Tytung's Wifi calling thread twice and other assorted threads related to the ROMs I have tried to see if anyone has any suggestions on this. The Wifi calling app works great, but when I try to answer or make a call on bluetooth the bluetooth headset beeps like a call is connected, but there is no voice directed to it as far as I can tell. Also, when I try to use bluetooth with a WiFi call, I get Process com.android.phone is not responding. Then the phone is locked up and needs to be rebbooted for wifi calling to work properly again. It is better on tytung 2.6.32.15_tytung_gb_r16. I also tried Tytung's ICS kernal and WiFi calling was flakier. It seems to work better on GB. I am using Magloader and ClockWork Mod. I wiped all cache's, davlik, did factory reset. None seem to make it any better. I was wondering of the HD2 just cannot do that many radio things at the same time. Any have this working? I really need Wifi Calling as I am in Peru, but am a TMobile USA customer and the international calling is crazy.
Thank you,
Jay
I only had my s7 edge for about a week but my HD voice doesn't work at all oddly.
My s5 it replaced worked fine. The people I talk to can call others and HD shows but me it doesn't nor does mine.
I just not sure if that big update broke it maybe or something else so wanted to see if others are working?
I don't have a sprint store near I can go play with them at :/

Talking Sprint to Sprint. So your S7 Edge running latest update, the HD is working on?
Do you know what model phones you've talked to on the other end?
I'm calling someone with an LG G5. They can call someone else with an LG G5 and it works but talking to me it doesn't.
Not sure if it's some device compatibility issue (which would be new), my phone, my account or what.
My S5 never had issues so trying to figure out what the deal is.
I even traveled to a different part of town to get on another tower to test, still no joy on S7 Edge
Amazes me that all the S7 owners and no one could check this :/
I bet if this was about root people would be all over it lol.
That said, solved the problem.
It is related to WiFi calling. Turning it off alone isn't enough to enable HD (despite on older phones just turning off WiFi calling it worked fine.).
On this phone you have to actually turn it on and go in and "deactivate" it which also unprovisions the account. After that HD started working again.
I personally consider this a SW bug but who knows. I also think it's dumb they can't do HD while on a wifi call. It has tons more BW available yet you can't do an better codec?? Every other provider only gives you HD when you doing VOIP but sprint takes it away lol.
This may be old news too, but Google Voice cannot be activated either for HD voice to work. That said, I haven't had it work for me yet either on the S7 Edge, and I don't have Google Voice anymore.

Good call on this. I finally was able to get it to work by finding the "deactivate" option. Thanks a bunch.

In WiFi calling, turn it on. Menu drop-down in upper corner has it. Follow the prompts.

Oh I've done that still no HD not sure why

I still can't get HD Voice calls to initiate unless I am using Wi-Fi calling. Anyone else having this issue?
Now that you mention it, my HD voice hasn't been working either. I did deactivate it, I didn't really use it anyway and did a radio reset. Will have to test again see if it works. I haven't tried a call since deactivation of it yet
In this context (Sprint) what's the difference between HD calling & WiFi calling? I'd naively assumed they were one and the same...

HD voice is a higher quality call. It sounds much better and filters out background noise. WiFi calling is a way for your phone to use your wifi network to make phone calls. WiFi calling simply replaces the network with wifi and can be used for standard calls or HD voice calls.
My problem is that hd voice calls never seem to work unless I'm on wifi calling.
Me too en4cer, that's why I thought they were the same thing... The "HD" icon only shows up when Wifi calling is turned on. In what other situations *should* it show up? Sprint to Sprint calls over mobile network? Other carriers? Depending on the other party's phone & coverage at the time of the call?

Yes, it *should work when making Sprint to Sprint calls and both callers are in LTE coverage. It's not a WiFi feature, it's a Sprint network feature that also works on WiFi calling. I have not been able to get a single call to go to HD VOICE while on the LTE network. Frustrating!
This is so dumb
Sprint has issues provisioning the S7, so much like the iPhone, if you enable Wifi Calling, You can not currently use HD Calling. This also means you can not use Push To Talk.
My HD Voice has been working fine between to other Sprint callers that support it. I disabled wi-fi calling service, I don't really use it anyway. Also LTE coverage doesn't matter, none of Sprint's calls are routed over LTE yet, even HD voice uses CDMA network.
