TabletTalk

I just have to say..... Wow.. Yeah, It was 3 bucks, but so worth it. I can respond to all my texts through the tablet instead opening my phone while I'm tethered.. I bluetooth tether anyway.... Galaxy tab2 7.0 and HTC Sensation 4g running arhd 6.5.5

Also, I they have a 48 hour refund period in addition to the usual 15 minutes from Google. I really haven't taken my phone out of my pocket the whole day.

so, what's the difference with the ordinary IM?

Thanks! This is a pretty sweet app!

You are using your own text messaging. It acts as a bluetooth link (or wifi) to your phone. You can dial and read/write text messages.

How is the battery when you do it through Bluetooth?

This app is great it allows for text messaging and making and receiving calls from my tab.
If your not familiar with this app it allows your tablet to use the phone number of your smart phone.
The configuration is simple when both devices are connected to the same wifi network.
When I am on the go and my phone is acting as an AP for the tablet, I have them paired using bluetooth and my phone stays in my pocket when making and receiving calls and text messages.

Battery life is awesome. I tether my tablet through Bluetooth for internet as well. I've never had my tablet go to less than 40% so far.

Bluetooth, I can WiFi tether as well but it's a battery hog for the phone, even with screen off .

My phone is receiving 4g and then it is configured as an access point. My tablet is connected to my phone via wifi for internet access. Then the two are paired with bluetooth to make the tablet talk connection. Sorry I was not clear enough in my post.

google voice? that's what i've been using.

do you do this with the TabletTalk app?

I have't been able to make calls with my Tablet, I can make my phone call people and answer calls, but I then have to pull my phone out and use it... Anyone successfully use the tablet to make the actual call?

Hi Bark777
I'm about to buy that app. Can you just confirm to me if this is right?
Can my tablet connect and navigate on 3G (or H+) network using the connection of my phone?
Thanks!

This app is just for convienence. As far as I know it provides phone service and SMS service to your tablet via wifi or bluetooth from your phone. I get internet to my tablet when on 4G by setting up an access point on my phone and connecting my tablet via wifi to my phone. This was always part of my phones capabilities and does not have anything to do with tablet talk. When I'm in "on the go" mode I use bluetooth to connect my tablet to the phone and this allows the tablet to make and receive SMS messages and calls. My phone stays in my pocket or in my door pocket of my car. I hope this answers your question.

Oh, I see.
It does, thank you very much.
Do you share the internet only in 4G? Or using 3G does work too?

I don't think that is possible, but but it's a limitation of ics rather than a limitation of the app itself
Only way ive been able to make a call so far is via skype.

I think you need ics on your phone to make it seamless. Otherwise use pdanet for the tablet, and foxfi for the phone.

[Guide] Wi-Fi Calling Substitute!

Updated! Now works on 4.2! Updated!
Hi All-- I really miss Tmobile wifi calling, and I have finally put together a system which works for me...so I thought I would share it if anyone is interested.
It works about as well as Wifi Calling did on my Tmobile Gs2.
I have found this to have two main benefits over the Groove IP method put together by codesplice here: (note: all credit goes to codesplice--he did the heavy lifting on this..I just modified his approach)
1) the call quality is a LOT better. a LOT LOT LOT better. Groove IP sucks.
2) with this method, calls will still ring through to your gmail (assuming you have it set up that way in google voice)
Download these apps to your phone:
CSIPSimple
Google Voice
Google Voice Callback (donate) (you can get it from the amazon appstore...not on the play store anymore for some reason)
Tasker (you need the newest beta, available here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html )
Secure settings
Download this file, unzip it, and put the files on your phone's SD card (tasker profiles):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4nxPgKYHIDjbVN1b3IzNC0wd1E/edit?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1) Go to Callcentric.com and sign up for a free account. Write down your SIP number that it gives you (it will start with 1777)
2) also in callcentric, sign up for a free phone number. If you say that you live in the us, you have to pay for 911 access....
3) Open CSIPSimple on your phone. It will pop up with some questions about when you want it to work. I have mine set to ONLY be in use when I am connected to a wifi network. Then add an account. It will have an option for callcentric. Do that and sign in with your callcentric account (username is the 1777 number again).
4) Go to voice.google.com on your computer, go to the settings page, and add the new phone number that you got from callcentric (the phone number, not the 1777 number). It will call you to confirm the number...it should ring through to your phone! (note: under your regular cell number, choose 'edit>advanced>make sure that "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail " is checked)
--You have now set it up for incoming calls. If that's all you care about, you are done! Any call made to your google voice number will ring through to your phone via wifi calling.--
Now we're going to set it up to make outgoing calls
5) Open Google Voice Callback. Sign in with your account. In the settings, choose your new callcentric phone number as the callback number. That's it! you're set! now when you initiate an outgoing call, it will ring back to you, and you are good to go for free wifi calling!
--If you don't care about automating it, you can stop now.--
We're now going to set it up so that it works like WIFI calling, meaning that it a) turns on when connected to a good wifi network, b) turns off your cell radio when connected so you're not wasting battery, and c) it turns off automatically when you are not connected to wifi. We will do this with the miracle of tasker.
6) Make SURE you are on the latest beta of tasker. It is required for this to work!
You can find the newest beta here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
DL this zip file that I put together with my tasker profiles, unzip the files and put them on your SD card. Open up tasker and long-press on the 'profiles' tab. Choose import, and then import them.
Ze hu! You're done! Please let me know if it works--and I'm happy to try to help if it doesn't.
If it works for you, please click 'thanks'!
----
Note--the tasker profiles were put together originally by codesplice, and all credit for them goes to him, not me. You can find his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755
----
The advantage of CSIPSimple over the native SIP client in JB is that CSIPSimple can be set to only operate when connected to wifi.
I hope this is useful for everyone--works great for me!

Just to clarify your method works only if someone dials the google voice number?
I mean that's fine, but I think a majority of folks are looking for T-mobile Wifi calling that ties in with their regular phone number and plan feature.

Re: [Guide] Wi-Fi Calling!
Your thread title is very misleading. Change it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

edit.. nevermind

I agree, the title should be called Voice Over IP. T-Mobile WiFi Calling is actually their product name.
But the guide is great! I use Google Voice too, but for my Sprint number because it is free full integration. But that's not really possible with T-Mobile, and its not free either. I just need a fix for my T-Mobile Nexus 4 so I can get service everywhere lol.

Re: [Guide] Wi-Fi Calling!
Op,
Welcome to n4 world. I saw your same post in nexus7 forum.
Your method may work well for n7 but not for n4 because of battery drain issue. Using this method over 3g, n4 will not last 12 hours. Its because callcentric doesn't support TCP.
IMO, this is only good for WiFi as the title suggests. But I agree that the title is misleading. When i first saw it, i thought you cracked tmo WiFi calling. OTOH, there are tons of threads on free WiFi calls.
There is another side effect for your outgoing calls. The callback method is equivalent to initiating a call from gv web app. Gv calls both parties. I have found that this adds close to .4 sec lag one way. Do an echo test at 909-390-0003. You will hear your voice after 1 second.

Issue with WiFi Calling Method
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the major issue I see with this method is that it requires an active cellular connection for an outgoing call. For me (and I'm sure may others) the need is to be able to send and receive calls with no cellular coverage. Personally, with a lab/office in the basement of a building, having any coverage is not feasible, regardless of carrier.
Is there any workaround/alternate plan that would solve this issue?
Edit: At first, it was saying I needed to disable airplane mode, but once I reconfigured the CSIP and the callback app, it worked even on airplane mode. I guess the GV Callback (now called Voice+ in the Play Store) intercepts the call and initiates the callback via WiFi.
Thanks for the guide. This will work as a workaround until TMO Wifi Calling gets ported to the N4.

I use talkatone, really good sound quality

I use Skype, $3 per month for unlimited US and Canada calls. For outbound calls and text you can use your own phone number. For inbound you can not, but you can probably set up some kind of redirection. I never gave it a thought, because I never needed it

So no one has an alternative to WIFI calling?
By this I mean, being able to recieve calls from anyone with my phone number just like TMo Wifi calling when I don't have any mobile signals?

I setup call forwarding when not reachable (**62*PhoneNumber#) to my google voice/hangouts number. I don't have too many opportunities to test this, but it seems to work.

So how does that work? It calls your phone number and when it seems you have no signla and therefore cannot be reached, it dials your google voice number when then dials your phone? Have you checked to see if it works when you have no tmobile signal?

I tested this in a couple of ways. First, I switched to airplane mode and turned wifi back on. I had someone make a phone call to my t-mobile number. It came through on hangouts, the quality was great etc. I think the calling party did not see a delay in the call being answered. Of course, I knew that the call was coming so I answered quickly; but I think t-mobile system saw that the phone is not registed with any tower and forwarded the call to google voice right away. I repeated this test at least a couple of times.
The second test was a "real" one, in a building which does not have t-mobile signal. This test was only a partial one because I was in a meeting, so I could not answer. But the phone rang (vibrated actually) and the calling party got a google voice answering machine.
I also had a couple more accidental, partial tests. There is a stretch of the road near my house where the phone switches between two towers, neither tower has a good signal and calls are dropped when I drive/walk through there. So I recently received two calls in that area. The calls came on hangouts; there was no sound when I answered but at least I got the call and caller's name. I think the following happened: when the initial call came the phone was in the dead zone and the call was forwarded to google voice. By the time it came through on hangouts, the connection was restored but was not fast enough for voip call. Now that I think about it, I got another accidental test at home -- while I have a good signal at home, on some rare occasions my phone does not ring; so recently a call came through hangouts while I was at home and everything worked fine.
I should mention that when I started doing this, I was under impression that the forwarding setting occasionally resets to default (no-forwarding) on its own. But now it looks like the setting stuck permanently and I don't need to check/reset it anymore.

Yes, use Google voice/google hangouts dialer.
Make and receive calls from google hangouts.
You can setup a google voice number for free as well. you can use it to receive calla directly and/or to call from.

Wifi calling from Droid Maxx

I am going to be traveling this weekend. I guess I'll be paying $14 for an in flight wifi pass from gogo.
I guess I could use grooveip and Google voice to make and receive calls but it's never been fully reliable.
Anyone out there have a suggestion? I tried using Skype for video calling and that didn't work.
Thanks!
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.
EDIT:
After doing some research I am finding mixed answers. It seems like half the people say when using gogo vpn, voip is blocked as a courtesy measure to other passengers....but google voice texting still works. And the other half say they have quietly been able to make a few phone calls with no issue.
Interesting.

If you're somewhat technically savvy you could try and setup a VPN connection and VoIP (use a generic SIP provider) over that. If you had a working VPN (gogo is unlikely to block those, as they'd kill off their core business - business travelers), you could use a VoIP app no matter where it was blocked as all traffic would be encrypted and tunneled and not visible to the provider (gogo in this case). I VPN back to home if I'm using SIP apps anyway because I'm too lazy to set up encrypted connections and I once had someone steal my credentials when roaming with a SIP app in Europe a couple of years ago.
I'd recommend avoiding things like skype. They're not well optimized for the quality of connection you'd get via gogo. I'd recommend something like csipsimple with a cheap/free/per-minute SIP provider. The downside is the g729 codec - which is what you'd want in this case as it carries "toll quality" voice at 8 kilobits/sec - costs $9 to license due to patent issues.

Nexus 6 UK EE WiFi Calling

Okay so it's official, EE are rolling out WiFi Calling to all iPhones in the next few days with an Apple update!
What I'm wondering is, can I use WiFi Calling on my Nexus 6 if my SIM is provisioned to use it? The latter is not a problem at all, but I'm wondering whether the software (Chroma 5.1 with Franco 26) is up to it!
Can anyone advise?

google will add wifi calling to the n6 when its ready for release. until then, there are apps for wifi calling, and hangouts as well.

My understanding was that the phone and software was already up to the task of handling SIP traffic. I'm just wondering what exactly needs to be changed to allow this. Hopefully Google won't hang around.

wifi calling is based not only on making calls from wifi, but from being on the network then the call connects to wifi, without dropping the call, then can go back to the network, without dropping the call. for that kind of wifi callung, you will also need framework for it. no app will do that for you.

[Q] WiFi Calling & Texting

I was on the phone with a T-Mobile rep yesterday in regards to the weak signal in my home. I never had issues with T-Mobile and signal strength, but it has gotten pretty bad around my home, where I usually am only able to get two bars of strength around my home, three when I am lucky.
I brought this all up w/ T-Mobile, they said there has been no service changes around my area, but the representative recommended that we use WiFi Calling in areas it is available.
I know this service is free, but I never bothered trying it, does it really work when dealing with poor signal strength? Does it impact battery life by any ways? Also, does it cause any sort of delay when calling people? And lastly, I'd imagine this includes texting via WiFi, correct?
If it is all as good as it sounds, I might go ahead with it, if not, I'll just ask T-Mobile about some sort of signal booster around my home.
Thanks!

Wifi calling can fix the poor range problem. You connect to Wifi and calls go through it instead of the GSM network. It works with texting. Just go ahead and try it. You don't have to pay any extra money for it. If you wanted a signal booster, I think you have to pay for it.

I have been using it for the past few days since posting it, and it seems just fine!
Let's say I use this option and walk out of WiFi signal, would my call automatically get disconnected? Also, does HD voice work on this?

Yes, if you walk out of range of wifi, your call will disconnect. Also, one thing to note is that it cannot be used on custom roms, however, with the release of this feature on this Nexus 6, we should see it on AOSP/CM in a few months. With google's project FI, this feature could be worked on by google and improve. As for HD voice, I'm pretty sure it works.

Actually, you CAN use Wi-Fi calling on custom ROMs, as long as the ROM developer didn't mess with it's functionality. (Granted, you most likely limited to ROMs that aren't drastically altered/customized, but at least they will be de-bloated...) I had an S4 with a custom ROM and I used Wi-Fi calling frequently--just have to check to make sure it's available.

I see people are still responding here - I have been using WiFi calling for about a couple of months now, it has been working perfectly fine. I had some random instances of dropped calls, I called T-Mobile and asked them about the issue, they told me it was related with my router, they went ahead and sent me a special router that is built for WiFi Calling (To be honest, I have no idea what the hardware capabilities on the router is, but it sure as hell beats the $20 Router I bought 5 years ago )
That being said, WiFi calling has been amazing for me, no more issues. Text messages are sent, calls are received, and everything works. It is a beauty of a function.
The only complaint I have is that sometimes if I hop in my car, drive away and am still on a call, the call will get disconnected (I now just avoid making calls while I am leaving my house). Another issue is that when I connect to any WiFi network, whether at a mall or a friends house, I sometimes do face issues as there may be some sort of hardware capabilities needed in order for the feature to work properly.
Hope that helps for people considering WiFi calling!
