Enabling Phone Calls - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a combination of Skype and Google Voice for VoIP on my Galaxy Tab, but the problem is in apps like Maps I want to be able to click a number and it asks if I want to complete the call with Skype. Instead it just says you cannot make or receive calls on the Galaxy Tab. How can I disable that message?

[q] sms app integrated with google voice

has anyone done it ?
how does voice work? does it use data?
i used it all the time on my G1 when i had it. but it sends from your google voice number, not your t-mobile, so make sure that people have that number or they will be getting your texts from a number they may not recognize.

[Q] GV and Skype to make calls

After reading alot of post, and still waiting on my Tab to arrive, I have a question. I wish to replace my X with a new Tab. Verizon has told me that I can give my current X phone number to my Tab.
Can I then forward my Tab number to GV, then forward to Skpye and anwser it on my tab?
Then put my tab # as my outgoing Skype number and make outgoing calls?
Am I missing anything?
Yes and no.
Yes because it should work, it's what I've been (trying) to do. No because I think the latest app update messed the app up, I haven't rec all my calls.
Pretty sure its an app problem, I've rec all calls on my PC and iphone thru skype, but I'm still checking my settings to see if the problem is there, but I doubt it.
I've got it setup by adding my skype online number as a GV fwd number, and to make calls you have to do it thru skype, as a stock tab, you cant dial from contacts, maps, etc.
"to make calls you have to do it thru skype, as a stock tab, you cant dial from contacts, maps, etc."
Good point didn't think about that. I will settle for that if I can make calls.
Yeah it's not really bad, same as using it on a pc, I'm sure theres a way to change it, just havent cared enough to look. On my captivate I can call thru skype from contacts, but the tab needs the dialer support. Let me know if you are able to rec all your calls.

No more Google voice calls

I feel like ever since hangouts was able to handle GV sms I've had issues with making GV calls. I don't want to make voip calls. I want to use the regular cellular net work with my Google voice number. I'd checked that the settings in GV say to only use GV to make calls but people still tell me my other number shows up. It's there a way to resolve this without using voip?
Thanks in advance to anyone who offers advice.
Yes.
Long press on the home screen. Then select widgets. Then scroll until you find "toggle google voice", and drag it to your desktop. Press that and you'll notice the options pop up.
I use this feature quite often when selling tickets via craigslist.

Anyone use Google Voice as their primary number?

Wondering if anyone uses Google Voice as their primary number for texting and calling. Do 3rd party SMS apps allow you to use your Google Voice number to text? Also, I don't know why but I was using it before but sometimes I wouldn't get text notifications, or there would be a long delay.
Yep. I use hangouts to text/mms.
I too use my Google voice number as my primary number. Sometimes there are some hiccups but for 99% of the time it's perfect and easier now since the hangouts integration.
Same here, hangouts works great for Google Voice SMS unless you're using Android Wear. When I send an SMS from my smart watch it won't use hangouts, using my normal cell number instead. Setting Hangouts as the default SMS app doesn't fix it.
I even take it a step further. I setup Google Voice to ring my SIP number. So when I'm on wifi I have tasker turn off my cell antenna. Saved a lot battery life on my S3, just testing it on my N6 now. I still get calls through SIP (people calling my google voice number) and I can dial out on my google voice number using hangouts dialer and use hangouts for SMS. When I'm not on Wifi, Tasker and secure settings turns off SIP calls so I don't get calls twice.

Google Voice not working

this device's Skinned OS has issues with Google Voice.....
it states "call not sent" when trying to connect using Google Voice app, and routes call through normal number
must use Hangouts for GV calling no integration with phone app,
gorgeous phone, that kills it
hopefully we can get CyanogenMod 13/14 for this thing.. :/
Yeah the lack of google voice support is a real pain with this device. As a dedicated voice user I've spent a lot of time searching and hacking around with it trying to get the best functionality I could. Here's the best solutions I've come up with
Voicemail
I have managed to get conditional call forwarding to work to push my calls to my google voicemail using mmi codes, the settings in the dialer app were useless for this. The following mmi code is what did it for me, it seemed that changing the ring delay was important too which is the last number in the code.
Open the dialer and type in the following code replacing the xyz with your google voice number. The phone should tell you it's running an mmi code, that it was successful and that the ring time was changed as well.
**004*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*25# (replace the xyz with your google voice number)
Making Calls
So far there is no true solution for this but this is the best workaround I've come up with so far. Other than using the hangouts dialer app which uses data for calls (not ideal unless you're on wifi)
1. Go into settings > accessibility and turn on the toggle for power button ends call
2. Make sure google voice is set to ask on every call. google voice settings > Making calls > Ask every time I make a call
3. make a call as normal from the dialer but as soon as the call starts hit the power button to end the call
4. the gv menu will still be up asking you whether you want to use google voice or your carrier number
5. select google voice and the dialer will complete the call with your gv number
It's not the most convenient solution but it works until (hopefully) something better comes along
hey guys, not sure if this is helpful but I flashed the stock modded GV apk (you can find it here on XDA, won't let me post links). After that, using the GV interface if you go thru history and click on the phone # through there, it will work as intended and make calls using the GV #. I guess you'll just have to use the GV app as your contacts and dial thru there.
