There is a feature on webos where you can link up your cell phone to your touch bad via Bluetooth and then use the touch pad to make phone calls.
Is there any way to do this on Android? I'm currently running cm9 nighlty build
Tablet Talk app is very near to what u r looking for.Personally i havent found anything else.
I don't think using the Touch pad for this is a good idea since the mic doesn't work with Android.

The mic works quite well with the latest nightlies. Some roms do not have the mic fix as of yet but cm9 does.

Going to try this as soon as I get time.
Edit..got it to dial phone once from TP but the audio was still on phone not tablet. I bought Tablet Talk from play store and it is pretty nice, links to contact app on tab. But it only acts as a remote dialer for your phone, I would like to test with stereo Bluetooth headset connected to both devices to see if it is possible to switch from media audio from tab to call audio from phone.
Well if you want to make internet based calls, you can get groove IP which uses your google voice account to make a full blown call. I've tested it a few times and heard the quality was good if not for a tad bit of an echo for the person on the other side.
It can be done but on WebOS only AFAIK. I've personally done it prior to unleashing the CM goodness...

Just out of curiosity.. if you have your tablet linked via bluetooth to your phone, wouldn't that mean its mostly in arms length? So why would you want to call using your tablet but THROUGH your phone? Confused!

Bluetooth can theoretically have a range of 100 meters depending on the bluetooth class. I live in an apartment when when I do a scan for discoverable bluetooth devices, my Touchpad picks up quite a lot of phones from the adjoining apartment buildings.

Hi, I've been searching if there's any app for using an android phone as a headset when paired to a computer. That would be useful for using a phone when talking with Skype on a computer since Android's Skype doesn't allow IP calls.
Thanks!
This is something I would be very interested in as well. I always figured it would involve adding the device as a bluetooth audio device... but it has never worked out for me. I guess you need the bluetooth on the phone to know what it is supposed to do (maybe an app or something.)
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
Any news?

Here's a superior solution:
ditch the inferior Skrap and use a proper SIP provider for VoIP. The application you are looking for to use this is SIPDROID.
Are there any apps out there for android that allow you to connect your phone via bluetooth to the tablet and have any calls or texts get routed to the tab just like most car bluetooth systems do? Would love to have the tab replace the entire car system. Nav and music is great but this would put it over the top!!
I know it isn't exactly what you're looking for, but if your tab has a cell number you can always configure your phone to forward texts to it...
You want yo use the tab as a bluetooth car-kit?
Neat idea
I just bought a new car stereo that had bluetooth. Now my music, nav directions and calls go through my car speakers

Can do that pretty easy but what I want is the Tab to be the head unit and pull the calls and texts from the droid phone. The tab is a way cooler and programmer friendly device than any stereo head unit. If someone could point me to any exampls of accessing the bluetooth stack I may find the time to dig in to it myself.
OHH man, i work for Vodafone NZ, and I've been playing with the tab for a few days now. IT IS AWESOME. I have been trying to find a solution to this exact thing. I would love to have the TAB and another android phone (prob galaxy 580) but only have one number, when i'm using the tab i want call and txt to go to there, when I'm not i want to use the phone... get back to me if you have any ideas, i know you can route 3G connection... thats a start...
Food for Though
One more note: is Bluetooth the best option? The tab also has WIFI....?
What does the new blackberry play-book use to connect the blackberry phone? They can reportedly do this exact thing....
Textab
Found Textab after hours of google only works for text messages... can be found on the market here's is the link to the creator http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-apps/6931-textab-sms-send-sms-through-your-android-phone-via-your-android-tablet.html
i wish i could find something like the "BlackBerry Bridge" for our android devices would be awesome
I just posted this about TexTab and our Tab 7:

There is a link in that thread to the point in the developer's thread where I discuss it... and today I posted screenshots in the developer's thread as well.

I would pay for an app like that. Essentially it would be exactly as you stated, an app that makes your tab function like a car head unit, or bluetooth headset, having the ability to control your phones call functions and media controls. With the added ability to send and receive text messages.
I remember back in the day someone showed me a program on a PocketPC (may have been an iPAQ) that had SIM card access over bluetooth, depending on the bluetooth stack on the phone it should have been able to control phone calls over bluetooth.
Would love to see something like this on the SGT.

Hi people,
Am facing a problem while connecting the Dell BH 200 Wireless headphones with My Streak, it connects fine. I can listen to music but as soon as I get calls the Bt gets disconnected and I have to manually take call using the phone...It happens every time... .
Its such a pain if you are driving and listening to songs suddenly you get a call, pullover take the call and spend five more minutes pairing it again
Am running my streak on stock Froyo Rom, Baseband is 318 and kernel version is 2.6.32.9-Dj_Steve-BFS-BFQ-OC-Vol
had this problem even before with stock kernel and baseband.
Am wondering why cause the same headphones sync beautifully with Galaxy S stock froyo and Galaxy 3 and my HTC Evo.....
Irony of the situation is this that I work for dell but no one in the Wireless or hand held department was able to give me an answer.
So my good people at XDA here I am.....
Please Help Me out!!
Peace Out!!
Sam
>>>>>EDIT<<<<<<
Finally gave up on DELL BH 200 and bought BH 503 it supports all the profiles and no pairing issues as well, not to miss the sound quality and in call quality is at par!!
I have the same problem .... any advice would be appreciated.

im just curious, why are you listening to your headphones IN the car
on the other hand, i just got a pair of Sony DR-BT101 yesterday and they paired perfectly to my phone. the only problem i can see you might have is the fact that your headset doesnt have one of the profiles that allows for calls? i can remember which one it is, either hsp or hfp but other than that i dont see why it would disconnect itself.
also, you shouldnt have to pair the headphones everytime u want to connect, the whole point of pairing is so it auto connects when the devices are on and in range. if you meant to say connect then nevermind me

Bro I listen to musix on Headphones cause I dont like thumping the car all way long..LOL
Rest as I have mentioned it before the same BT headset works peacefully on several of my other androids....
And yes sorry for the confusion I meant reconnecting it and not pairing!!
i have the same problem... I have tried various roms and nothing seems to help
I think it used to work with 1.6 ( not 100% sure )
However broken with 318, 340 and steves rom.
Edit : works perfectly though with nokiaBT headset and plantronics
Shame that dell does not work with dell .
Dell Headphones are **** mayn!! I too bought Nokia!!
Whoa! Who IS that last poster character?! Iboughtthe Motorolla motoroker sd59. Suppose to be stereo. .........well..... it was,....for one week. One of the sides burned out...
So, crappier than crappy
Leave phone in pocket.
Mount galaxy tab to dashboard of car.
take phone calls though galaxy tab hardwired into car audio system with external mic.
possible?
Leave phone in pocket. <-- YES

I use Plantronics Bluetooth ear piece, works great, also there is a free app that allows for ALL audio from the SGT to be forced out the BT.
agreed very much possible. BT headset im using is Hisense HB200S connected to 2 of my phones at the same time.
Not really what I was thinking of. I'm saying use the tablet as a bluetooth headset. So when i jump in the car phone calls are automatically routed from my phone into the tablet which is hooked up to the audio system of my car.
so it would essentially function as a really nice car stereo but have all the added functionality of a android tablet.
data through bluetooth would be super awesome, but this is kinda shooting for the stars.
Did you find any solution?
UP
I'd love to see this too. Basically have sms and calling features on my tab, going through my phone via bluetooth.
anybody found a solution?
i have a carpc an since androidX86 (4.0.3) is out it would be great to use this as bluetooth handsfree.
i agree

I 100% agree, I need this feature as well. We clearly are not the only ones. This essentially is centered around someone with development skills using the Bluetooth Headset Profile to have the tablet show up as bluetooth headset or handsfree to the phone.
With that it'd be great for it to pull contacts (if you dont sync contacts with google), receive texts, receive calls, dial, voice dial, etc. Out of all those, i really just want to be able to receive calls and have them routed to the tab. Everything else is a bonus.
Should we start a bounty?
Let's do..whatever, to make this happen! I would pay!
Pioneer navigation in my car can do it but I want to replace it with android. This is the only reason why I can't do it.
Closest thing i've been able to do for this is my phone is connected via bluetooth to my cars head unit. My tablet it mounted and connected to the head unit with 1/8" - 1/8" This way i can use my tablet for music and navigation and if i get a call my system will auto switch over for the call.

thanks for that info, but in my case I won't have a headunit to act as the "middleman". we really need the option of the tablet itself being able to exploit the Bluetooth handsfree profile

Tablet Talk 1.3.3.1 was released on 4/15 with a Call Sharing option over Bluetooth or Wifi. The feature is still in beta, but from my limited usage in the past 2 days, it seems like a viable solution to this problem. The app can be found in the market with a reasonable price tag of $2.99. For those of you looking for a carputer solution - you found it.
i actually use Tablet Talk and fully support that developer for his work, BUT the call answering feature requires either the phones speaker phone to be on or a bluetooth handsfree kit or bluetooth headset in order to work. It's not the same as the subject of this thread but it is the closest we have so far.
I've been in talks with him and he's still working on the BT stack in his spare time but makes no promises that it'll work or make it into his app.
Hi,
i 'm looking for the same possibilities, but from my iphone=>Tab=>Car-audio
TabletTalk doesn't work with iphone
What would be great is a full application on the Tab with Dialing, Contact List from the phone, the same as every caraudio BT sold nowadays...
I don't understand why it 's link to the Phone OS, because a Pioneer Car Audio BT doesn't care if it s a BB, Nokia, iphone, or an android phone : it's just A2DP/Handset server mode...
I succeeded in sharing my iphone music librairie and 3G to the tab, there 's only the phone part left :/
correction, i can't acces my iphone music lib from the tablett
i can only acces to a itune on a PC, but not directly to the iphone
I don't understand why there is no Car Audio App available, the developer would be rich !
Thank you guys, I've been looking for this for my – project for some time. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

Android only sees it as a internet source i just want to use my tablet as a speaker phone with a big key pad
Or maybe even use google contacts and have it dial my phone

Bump to keep this thread going I'll be attempting something similar in the future
This would be amazing, but unfortunately the tablet talk app will not work because it requires your car audio to be wired through your phone which would defeat the purpose. I hope the tablet talk developers can figure something out!
I can't remember if this issue has been around for a while, but I just tried using Skype for a video chat, and the audio was being ported through the ear set instead of the "speakerphone" speakers. I even tried using headphones, and the audio did not route through those either.
I was unsuccessful at finding a setting that would let me change it, but I know that we should not be limited to the ear piece because a friend's android phone sent the skype in-call audio through the "speakerphhone speakers."
Any ideas how to fix this? Apps that control audio output? tweaking some code somewhere?
