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.

i will use the sony ericcson liveview
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.

Hi Guys,
Have you used a new poweramp beta ? If yes maybe u have a problem like me...
At beta 501,502,503 after 2 calls, my microphone is broken u can hear only big *shhhhhh*, and my earphones broken too, Right channel is much silent than left... I made a support mail, waiting for request...
I downloaded it from here > http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/3189-poweramp-206-build-503/
Maybe you can help.. Or confirm (I dont wanna be alone)
I have bought poweramp unlocker, etc.
Soft u can see in signature, no root etc. All official
I have exactly the same setting and phone as you, also buy the key too. I got exactly the same problem. After i find out the problem, I use bluetooth to connect to the XL. The sound is adnormally small. At the beginning , i thought it was either the earphones or the earphone jack was dead, then, i reset the phone and going to send for service and found out it back to normal.
One additional situation is that, it will lead to the mic of the phone not pick up voice when answering call too.
Okay i did a search as well as the HTC tech i had one the phone and did not find anything that has
been discussed .
Just got my HTC One (liking it so far) it is still stock. I have pair both of my Plantonics 975 BT head sets
and the volume is is rather low in comparison to the Inspire , i would say at least a 1/3 less volume with some static .
The inspire has 2.1+EDR but from what i see the ONE is using 4.0 for BT and I am using 1.26.502.12 software. 4.1.2
With that info anyone else experiencing a similar issue ? Google is not showing anything on this, Tech support is curious as well and the engineering dept is looking into it..
If there is a thread on this please point it out to me ...
just a update incase this thread comes up in search.
I went back to the AT&T Store, paired with another HTC ONE and i got the same result ,
low volume with both of the Plantonic 975's . I did try a newer but similar Plantonics Marque 2 M165 headset and it has
much better and clear volume. So It looks to be a issue with the BT stack that the phone is currently using, hopefully
the next update in 2 months (confirmed unofficially ) will have a fix..
As a topic, either by phone or through the BT handsfree I can not play voice, or the fault of poorly expanded the capabilities of the BT module if my periphery are to anything that may need some traps for this or something, who tried such a thing ?
- BT handset Samsung HM 1200
- Speakerphone B & M to Fiat
When the handset once I did it but I do not know how it happened , I had enabled navigation and command gave the speaker phone at the same time the phone was paired via BT with the handset and someone rang during the interview I heard the command of navigation on the handset and I was shock when the caller hung up , the remaining commands on them heard in the handset , but after reaching the place and disconnected set , the next day I could not already do it again , I tried to connect analogy , but it does not work , what strange now as I turn support BT navigation is silence , even as the inclusion of a music player that is inaudible music , that is, as if gave the voice on the headphones, but it did not exactly overwhelmed , and before it did ..... any clue ?

Hi! Can you elaborate your problem description more? If I got it right, you are trying to use a Bluetooth headset on your phone. Try to see the settings for your Bluetooth connection.
Headset is working i can talk but i would like listened music and have navigation command too, BT settings in Phone arę poor there isn't much to set, only connect with other devices and time to be visible at all
OK i found problem ,my headset hasen't A2DP it's nessery to transmit music and more .

Wondering if anyone else are having issues with the bluetooth on the note 5. One issue I'm having is the connection to my galaxy gear disconnects and reconnects randomly and after a few disconnects seems like the phone just ignores the gear and manual connection only works 50% of the time other times I have to reset the phone to regain connection. Other problem Im having, which I cant figure out, is my car bluetooth stereo connects with no issue to my phone but when using calling it uses the car speakers for output audio but the phones mic for input audio. Tried my S5 and the stereo works perfectly. Any suggestions? I've tried wiping caches, unpairing repairing devices. Factory reset (which worked for about a few hours but started the same issues again). I was thinking it may be software related but no software or updates were installed between the factory reset and having issues again.
Yes I'm having the same problem with my gear s2 just got off the phone with tmobile there sending me a new note 5 hopefully it will fix it I'll update after the switch

hi,
i have Note5 stock Rom, no root. I also have a Gear watch (still on Android.. not Tizen, rooted, Null 23 Rom) Been using the Gear watch since launch with my then Note 3, Note 4 and now with Note5.
Overall no problems at all. Only replaced the watch battery a month back thats all.
My Bluetooth connection to all my devices has been overall, very good.
I am currently using my Gear with Note5. The Bluetooth connection is very, very good. i cannot recall it ever disconnecting from Note5. (if in acceptable distance.. +-
10 metres or so.) Overall Gear is working 100%.
Point i am making is according to my experience, Bluetooth connection with Note5 works fine... no disconnecting issues.
I know this doesn't solve your issues,
but good to know.
Good luck
I'm wondering if I may have a hardware issue. If connected to a BT device (eg gear) and I move more than a couple ft from the device connection is lost. I'm very confused with my car stereo though, what would cause BT to split and use my phones mic and the stereos speaker not the stereo mic? Anyone ever experience a similar issue?

hi,
futher i can add,
i use Note5 Bluetooth
with following devices no issues. No disconnecting issues or any other issues.
Polor M400 Bluetooth Hart rate watch( re smart notifications) ,
Jam Bluetooth headset (streaming music) ,
Phillips Bluetooth dock.( streaming music.)
My Lenovo laptop,( Sending of pics, apps etc)
and use it to connect to my other Phone devices etc
Never had any issues with disconnecting.
Given that the devices are normally
about 2 meters apart when in use sometimes 10...12 meters.
I would suggest you get you device checked, as yes it does not seem right
that it disconnects so easy (when so near)
good luck
This might be an odd question but how would someone go about testing the phones BT, it connects just not stable. Only reason Im asking is I dont want to send it to samsung and have to wait 2-4 weeks and them to come back and say its working.

hi ,
yes ,i understand, you don't want to wait for period of time ,w/o your phone. !!!
I would have maybe done some "little tests" , to get a better opinion of the Bluetooth issue ??
eg. Test your devices in environment/area where there is no interference , ( no concrete walls ,buildings ...an open area .No electric cables/towers )
An open area ,field or another locations than your home or workplace etc .
See what is you min. and max. distance on disconnection ,if it only occurs more at your home than another area .? Get some facts and maybe make a small video to illustrate your issue ?
and show it to "someone" in the know ???
eg ..If you bought phone through service provider show video to them ./Samsung ( i have a habit that when i have a issue ..........................
eg. broken roof tiles/wall socket /a damage car part ......etc etc ....
i would take photo's/video ,(with my phone and keep copy on my phone ) and when talking to "somebody" in the know/or send your device to Samsung ,show them photo's /video of issues. It helps them to understand your issues better ,
and maybe give you better advice on issue ?
Also ,try to compare you results with somebody with similar device ???
Google is your friend ???
Google around ..???
you might just learn something in process ,that can help ?
Above is basics of what i would have done .
good luck
Bluetooth firmware v 4.2 and older versions .

hi
further to my post above ,
i just want to add another issue you should be aware .
Bluetooth v 4.2 (Note5 firmware ) and compatibility issues with other Bluetooth versions 3.0 ,v 4.0 v 4.1 etc ,To give you a real life example .......
On my Gear watch i use to have Bluetooth v 3.0 ( ? )
i was using my Note 3 ( at the time ).Then my Note 3 was upgraded to Bluetooth v 4.0 ,
when i started having disconnection issues .Also in Bluetooth settings on my Note3 ,device my Gear would not show up in paired devices or stick in list .
When my Gear Bluetooth firmware was upgrade to v 4.0,
i found the disconnection issues was resolved and my Gear then showed up in pair devices
I am not saying this is the issue,
but you should be aware of what Bluetooth firmware your other devices are using ...?????
Is it Bluetooth L E ( Low Energy ) version 4.2 or v 3.0, v 4.0 ,v 4.1,
good luck

i've got such issues after restoring Note 5. i did reset gear to the factory settings and paired devices...
Thanks for the replies. After doing some testing and what not the only thing I can figure is a bad BT module/chip in the phone. Sent it in through my service provider today. Will post results when I gets it back. Using my old S3 for now until I gets it back, its like my phone shrunk and got sugnificantly slower lol.
update for anyone who is wondering or having the same prroblems. I got my phone back from samsung today, they replaced the main board in the phone. BT seems is working good now and the phone seems snappier than before. Thanks for the help. ☺

How the heck did you get your phone to/from Samsung that fast? I'm about to call TMO to get a replacement device...

I dropped it off at telus (my service provider) and they sent it in for me. only took a couple days, I was surprised it was that fast. I live in NL, Canada and everyhting is usually slow shipping here.
