Will Google Talk work for phone calls on the Verizon 7 inch tab? I'm trying to avoid taking my web cam and laptop with me on trips to use Google Talk as my phone for long distance.
Thanks.

I use GV on my Sprint tab all the time, but only for texts and listening to VM, don't use GV to make calls, or i'd have tested it.
Right but what I was wondering is whether it even has a mic? Can't seem to find that info anywhere. It should because it comes with Qik built in, right?
At least on my Sprint Tab, the mic is on the side of the Tab opposite the volume rocker.
Yes I have the 7inch Verizon Tablet. And it does have a mic, left hand side near the top it should be there. also i have used my tablet several times for voice and video calls
And thats with wifi as well?

So I installed nettalk voip app on my tablet it installs but it has the same issues with voice calling with fring. I mean this app would be great for us G tablet users cause we lack phone cababilities. What needs to be fixed so this app would work flawlessly? I would love to use this app cause its like the magicjack of android... Well until magicjack releases there android app which they stated it would be released in september of this year
I tried sipdroid and imsdroid. Neither work.
Also stremfurious doesn't work. It keeps reporting broken pipe and freezing.
It's like the network is going up and down, or the connection status is not being reported properly.

I have Skype and IAXagent working, but unable to get audio to my bluetooth headset.
very possible @op. install sipdroid and let it make you a new pbxes automagically and have gv installed. i treated my viewsonic like a project and first testing requirement was "could i make and receive calls?" well i got swype plus mic and call and recieve working...but the software was still horrible. i couldnt beleive that a device like a giant epic(sgstabby) could massacre my tegra2tabby by way of speed and sheer quickness...working on phone call and receive now for my galaxy tab and i couldnt be happier....amazing what software can do...this tabby will be awesome if it gets enough dev but as it stands its going to be overlooked just because of the crap software...i used all custom roms and none had the performance of STOCK s g tabby....i hate samsung and i looked forward to this device for so long...rather disappointing...glad i purchased at staples with no restock fee
Humm, my sipdroid works just dandy... using sipgate, sipsorcery, Google voice..
Sidebar, in sipdroid you must hit menu>speaker to hear anything.. I've also found within sipdroid in landscape mode the keyboard "enter" button actually starts the call

+1 Skype works fine for me. I have a Skype number and the $2.99 unlimited US/Can calls. I can receive and make calls. I use my phone headset and it works perfectly.
Ok, so I got a Galaxy Tablet (Sprint) from BestBuy, and plan to use it only with WiFi.
I was searching around and discovered Sipdriod as a possible app to make calls over WiFi with my G Tab, but when I try to place a call I get the message "Cannot make or take a call using the Galaxy Tab."
Anyone know why this is?
I read above that Sipdroid won't work, but I am wondering why. I mean is this a limitation Sprint has put on their G Tabs? Is it some limitation Samsung built in?
It just doesn't make sense to me that I can have an Android app that should be able to make a call over WiFi, but the G Tab is restricted.
I have a moto droid which is no longer active with Verizon(that $30 a month was getting to be a bit much) and would like to use google voice to make calls. On install, it gives an option to use google voice for calls, but when I actually try to make one it routes me to Verizon's "we're sorry, this phone isn't in service" message.
I understand that this isn't really the intended use, but I can use google talk to make a call from my PC, why will it not let me use the same service from my droid. Is this a quirk of the device or a limitation from Verizon or google?
I'm using the latest Bugless Beast, if it makes a difference, though I have also tried with CM7 build 3 and CM 6.1.2.
--------------------edit------------------
Ah, nevermind. I figured it out myself. This is not possible with google voice alone, but I grabbed Sipdroid off the market. When paired with a google voice account(set to ring to gtalk as well as any other phone numbers) works rather well as a wifi phone. There is a bit of a delay sometimes in making a call, but no serious problems. call quality is quite good.
i have tested and used it to make and recieve calls thru my google voice account ...it actually rings my streak
What is the voice quality like? Can u send/receive txt and mms as well? Thanks
I've tried line2 and the quality was horrid!

Thanks for your help,
Well yeah I used GV before, it actually is my main number now, I knew that I had to DL voice and video plugin and forward calls to Gmail, but like you said the trick was to log out of all Gtalk clients, which is disturbing, If I want my phone to ring I can't use my Gtalk and if I use Gtalk my phone stops ringing, do you have any suggestions for that?
or do you have any alternative app in mind? I used GV with Gizmo5 before but since they shut Gizmo5 down this is the best app by far out there. I'm open to suggestions!
Got it, and it works pretty well. I have to run some more tests with it; my voice came through a bit choppy on the other end, but that was before I enabled the smoother calling features in the advanced settings. I have yet to play with it since then; I'll test and report back.

Solved echo prob. by using blue tooth ear peace. And incoming calls works well for me
yeah i founf a whole new respect fot the streak
It is preity sick, but mabe to big to carry in my pocket lol
i never find that to be a issue ,and i carry my ear piece for private calls but i like using the speaker it draws so much attention from low tech heads
I've found that it works great when I have it on speakerphone (after tweaking a few of the advanced settings), but it's very in and out when I'm using a wired headset. I also have experienced Pandora cutting in and out when plugged into a stereo. Could I have a bad headphone jack? Anyone else experiencing this?
Update: I'm working with the dev of the app. I get pretty decent audio in, but my audio out is horrible. My voice comes through very choppy and laggy, no matter what I do with the settings. Bluetooth is really bad, and it's not the bluetooth (tested it on my Droid and it runs great).
I'll let you all know hoe it turns out; the dev sent me another version of the app to try, which I ought to be able to try out tonight.
Anyone else having audio issue with theirs?
Ok, been using this for a couple days but only have outgoing calls. What do I need to do to make the S7 ring for incoming calls? All calls to my google voice number ring about 5 times then goes to voicemail.
Edited to add: I do get the voicemail notification after a minute.

Are you signed into Gmail anywhere else (or Gtalk)? That'll make it so it doesn't ring on GrooVe IP.
Duh, my G2 was signed in. Now I cant get my bluetooth to search for my headset. AURGH!

I'm pretty sure StreakDroid has known issues in the kernel that affect bluetooth. Try stock or stock rooted 2.2.2.
Thanks thatruth132!!!! This is awesome! i have my streak only on wifi and I am able to make/receive calls through Groove IP!
I am definately using this on my travels next week! Hopefully it works while I am traveling to be able to connect back to work and family.
Thanks again thatruth132!
i have galaxy tab sgh-t849 (tmobile) and i've installed the Euro firmware and modem switch. which means i either have hspa with no call functionality, or edge + voice.
does anyone know if there is a way to have both voice and hspa at the same time?
Thanks a lot !
use Skype to make your calls and set Skype up so that the receiving phone views your phone number instead of the Skype issued number. same thing effectively. If you can port your number over to Google Voice even better.

yea, i've though about that. but it will cost $$ to buy skype credit and seem like google voice doesnt really help much either.
thanks for the advice tho.

This is a known GV issue across devices, I know people have had this problem on the S3, so no it's not your rom.
Sent from my S3 on Sense 5 (you jelly?)
This is not only an issue with gv, this happens from android to android or from android to iPhone regardless of having or using gv. I tested with other android phones, I phones, and multiple SMS apps, anything after the @ is dropped for some reason
I set up G Voice integration, and now when i get a call and my laptop is logged into Gmail, the call rings on the computer first, and only at the end does it ring on the phone. Is there any way to disable this, and have it just ring on the phone only... Or is this a by-product of having my Sprint number as my G Voice #? I unchecked forward to Google Chat in my G Voice settings on the laptop...
Also, what happens if i do answer via Google Chat on the laptop? Haven't tried that yet lol

If you do answer through Google Chat it will not ring on your phone and it will use your speakers and your mic to answer the call. You will literally answer the call on your laptop.

Interesting, i might have to try that next time. I guess there is no way i could get charged for that?
Also, if i close my Gmail window when i leave the house, it will ring on my phone like normal? I have the box checked to forward calls to my Sprint phone..

Correct. It can be a little startling at times, but for the most part the Google Voice/Sprint integration works pretty well. I believe Cyanogenmod is working on a system-level Google Voice integration for receipt/sending via the stock messaging app, but if you can't wait, there's also a good AOSP-styled app called Messaging + Google Voice on the Play Store. I haven't tried it for a while (there was an annoying duplication bug where you'd receive messages twice in the app-- once over carrier, once over Google Voice, but they told me it'd be fixed soon).
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the integration so far. I'm fine with texting the way it is, i think, because with the integration i already text thru the stock messaging app? And i like receiving texts to that number on my other phones thru the Google Voice app.... I prefer to know where the text came from lol.

The reason this happens is that Google Voice rings all associated devices, but the ones that are on a faster connection ring first. The computer's network connection is loads faster than Sprint's cell connection. Note that Springs 3/4G is not involved in this comparison.

does this mean that calls are still coming in to the phone thru the cellular phone network, and not data? because that would be one concern for me, as i would think that a cellular phone network would be more reliable than a cellular data network. i could be wrong tho.
and how about with regards to texting... are they still coming over the phone network and not data?
thanks for the info guys! you probably know more than is shared on the Google Voice site itself.

Yes. Phone calls still go to the cellular network, but it is a much slower send than what the internet gets. Same goes for texting from your phone.
You're phone acts as usual, but your computer has a faster connection so it'll get those things first.

ah ok, and do you notice that it takes an extra few seconds to send a call from the phone, after enabling integration, or is it my imagination? maybe it has to get routed somehow?
