Ok i know this feature is for car kits...BUT i had an idea in the past and i never investigated it and now forgot why i thought of it in the first place lol but would it be possible to enable BT Sim Access on your Kaiser and use ANOTHER device (in my case a WM Smartphone "HTC Tornado") to act as a carkit and use that BT Sim access to use data or make calls? Is there a program out there or anything...just wondering..it might sound stupid or crazy but its worth a shot..

One day i was playing with my old N95 and found a BT Hack app or something like this. I took my mom's phone and authorize the BTR connection. I could read her contatcs, send sms'es and make calls, but i could hear and send the voice with that. So that only worked as a dialer.
Cheers,

I am pretty sure I am not the first one to think along these lines, so I am seeing if anybody has heard any announcements along these lines from hardware companies, as I would be very interested in this kind of setup.
Basically, what I have in mind is a sort of bluetooth-connected phone, with a minimal screen and numberpad that would be paired with a tablet with voice capabilites to act as a real phone while the tablet is tucked away in a bag or pocket. So basically you could treat it as a phone, while the tablet is actually doing all the work.
The advantage being you could have full tablet and phone capabilites from two pieces of hardware while being on one phone plan, not to mention the phone could be made incredibly small and light as there would be much less hardware necessary for it to function.
Now naturally as the voice and data enabled tablet space is just now reaching the market, I wouldn't expect anything to be available, but as I said before I can't be the first one to think of this, so if anybody has heard of any murmurs regarding such an idea please do tell.

Exactly my thoughts about Galaxy Tab?
@DDReaper Can one make phone calls from liveview?
I too am interested in this. Has anyone figured out how to install and use the dialer on the pad?

I don't think so, it wasn't mentioned in the initial announcement/press release IIRC.
Also, on one of the pages on SE's site about the features of LiveView, it says:Communications
Messaging - Display incoming SMS
. . . . . . . - Display RSS feeds
Social networking services - Display Facebook™ updates
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - Display Twitter™ updates
Calls - Show phone number for incoming calls
. .. . - Mute ringer for incoming phone calls
No mention of calls whatsoever.
I think you're probably as well off going for a standard bluetooth headset and maybe using voice-dialling or just dialling from the Tab itself.
I found this one that seems to be a full handset for bt:
Canyon CNP-VTW1 Wireless Bluetooth Voip Phone
This little nifty thing is cool. I had one of these earlier. They where bundled with some Acer laptops earlier. Works just as a bt headset.
Acer Bluetooth VoIP Skype Phone
Hmm, double post
This doesn't have the keyboard you mentioned...
But it is a pretty cool device... bluetooth speaker separate from the Tab...
BT receiver/ speaker with text recognition as well... and calls out name or phone number of person calling.
okay... xda won't let me post a link cus I'm new... google frommy+galaxy tab+bluetooth speaker
and it should pull up.
I have bought a QLA bluetooth for my tab, after paired, I can just use it as a mini phone. Please refer to this page. Sorry, it's Chinese page, but you can check the image, just what you want - screen, dial pad, and download contacts from Phone.

And here you can see another user (not me) used it for Galaxy Tab.

I dont know what exactly you wanne know but I dont own this one, only found it on several pages. I'm interested in the se liveview thing and gonna wait.
Liveview
Iwould like to know of the SE Liveview can search the contact list and start calls, so I could use it as a remote for calling with my tab.
If its possible one will be mine

I found this one but I´m not really sure if its possible to start calls via phonebook in the headset itself

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.
SyncSMS
Textab. From Samsung apps seems to work OK. It's sounds like its should be better/more fun than it really ends up being IMO but its a cool "LAN party" trick geek style

their is a android 4.0 double din car radio with such an app but cant find it anywhere the app the radio is on ebay . their is a rom on xda-developers forum from that radio but dont know if we could extract that app and make work on tablet ? aim sure some one could i would pay for that app too
Gravedigging here, but has anyone found a solution yet?
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.

Same here i have been wanting to do this but with my cheap pos phone
Lg VX9200 has bluetooth and works fine with my headphones with music and calls
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 just picked up ATT Note this past Sunday and I'm loving this big screen and everything!! I come from Iphone and trying to get used to Android but I like everything I see so far.
But I need some help with built in bluetooth with my 08 BMW 5 series.
Here's my issue. My car recognizes the GNote fine, downloads the phonebook from GNote and receive a phone call. But I just can't call anyone through my phonebook on the car. The only way I could call anyone is through GNote. Every time I try calling through my voice command or car nothing happens.
If this is repost I'm sorry. But it would be great if someone could help me out.
thank you

Why not take it up to the dealership you bought from or get it serviced by? BMW customer service is second to none from my experience. If they refuse you, its time to look at Mercedes hah
In my experience with a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket (which is very similar to the Note), I had to delete all bluetooth devices from the iDrive menu and the phone, reboot the phone, and start with a fresh pairing of the device. Once you have them paired, reboot the phone one more time (while the car is on) and you should be good to go. If not, you should take it to the dealership.
When I first hooked my car up via bluetooth the note asked to allow use of the phonebook.
Until I allowed it I could see no contacts in the phonebook.
