I did it with a tab 4 7 inch. You'll need a Bluetooth headset or will be stuck on speaker mode. Google hangouts is the solution. In fact that's still what I'm doing, couldn't port my sprint num over to project fi so I'm using it as a Google voice number thru hangouts. With an actual phone it works well.

Actualy since i recieved it i use it as a phone,with a Bluetooth headset most of the time. And i can use the phone apps as a normal phone without problem at all.
This tablet is great it remind me the first galaxy tab 7" witch i used it as phone too
And the size is not a problem for me i have big hands. And the best is it surprisingly ligh, i didnt check if its true but it feel like lighter that the note 5 of my wife.
Now im puzzel if i root it or not

I just want a 7" Android 2.3 phone

I'm attempting to replace my HTC HD2 that is running 2.3 and netbook. That is, I'm going to try using a tablet only. I'm a web surfer/emailer/texter and that's about it. How hard could this be? Here's what I want:
Android 2.3 (Honeycomb is fine, too.)
7" Screen (that doesn't totally suck)
3g
GPS
Bluetooth
I don't need speed. I just want to be able to use it like a normal phone, but with a bluetooth headset.
What's out there? I'll even consider made in China junk...if someone can convince me that it's not total junk. I'm sure others like myself (giant sized hands) would want this rather odd size for a daily use phone, no?
Right now, the closest thing that looks acceptable is the Viewsonic ViewPad 7". Mixed reviews, but I'm assuming at some point Gingerbread and overclocking will help it out.
please, please...dont consider china junk...
i totally agreed with viewpad 7" choice
hi
yes i agree..............
A non-USA Galaxy Tab?

7" phone? Wtf, you must be a giant for real...
Samsung Galaxy tab (P1000). I think it's by far the best 7" choice.
One other thing: if you want to use it as a phone, you can exclude Honeycomb tablets, since Honeycomb does not support phone functionality.
Thanks for the info!
Why non-US Galaxy Tab? I've got friends in England and Australia who visit here often, and could bring one over for me.
Its the one with the phone enabled modem.

Ouch! $600 USD for the UK version new. Yes the dollar become the peso?
I believe the 7" Asus MEMO tablet is supposed to be capable of voice calls, plus it should have better specs that the Galaxy Tab (720p screen and a dual-core CPU if memory serves).

The Dell Streak 7" does all that...
+1 on the Dell Streak, very good device indeed.
Isn't 7" a bit excessive for a phone?
I chose the Desire S over the Desire HD because 4.3" was too big, I couldn't imagine trying to take a call on a 7" screened handset =P

Exactly...
He said that he will use it with a headset so I don't see how the size is a big factor. I have the sensation with a 4.3 inch screen and while it is much better than the g1 I came from, I still wouldn't mind a bigger screen.
Hey guys, get whatever 3g tab you want, and install skype, use with a BT headset. all your problems solved.
samsung galaxy tab love it as my all in one
7" is fine for me, for a phone. I have big pockets. Non issue.
Soooooo...
I use google voice. I could use the standard phone and text, I suppose. To go to Skype would be a pain.
Does the Dell 7 really work as a phone?
Researching...researching.
I'm wondering if the Honeystreak rom here has a phone app. Couldn't find an answer.

Should I get rid of my galaxy tab 7????

Is there any hope for the galaxy tab 7', their is hardly any development for it. Its been like a year now and they only have like four roms for it....
don't do it yet me and oldmacnut are trading tabs he can't test 3g cause he had a sprint tan and he's on verizon I'm on sprint with a verizon tab were planning on putting a lot of work into this nice device.

The last update for asia was august. Pretty much acceptable for an 'old' model. If you sell your tab please inform us;-) . Anyway decision is entirely up to you.
Me when they stop overcome for the tab 7 it's time to get rid od it.

you must be crazy, the gtab is pawning all tegra 2 tablets so hard when it comes to playing hd movies its not even funny anymore, it came to a point where I wish I was able to scream and shout (with vulgarities included) at the dicko from Nvidia who came up with that incredibly stupid processor.
for myself , i bought the galaxy tab 10.1 3g , and i still have my gtab use it as a phone xD
I just bought one after lots of research into 7" tabs. I think it's the best 3G tab on the market still. What other 7" tabs can compare to it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't see what difference development makes, if it fills your needs for a tablet, why sell it? If it doesn't fill your needs for a tablet, why wouldn't you? Mine still fills it's role just fine and it still fits in my pocket...a leading reason why I still have it and my iPad was stolen.
I just bought mine (seven days ago) because still it's one of the best tablets..for me at least..
I needed tablet which will suport ALL video formats and this little guy is doing that perfectly..
Only time whan I will consider replacing it, is when 7.7" comes out.. (but I think that price will be ridiculous, so..) because of SAMOLED and as far as I can see i don't have that retarded Tegra crap..
PS.
Only thing I would like to know is - Can we expect Ice Cream for our P1000?
If the galaxy tab had a keyboard dock like the transformer, I'd keep it for a long time

As I recall from somewhere I read, Samsung / Google guarantee that android device would get at least 2 OS updates
since we didnt get honeycomb, i think even Samsung will give ICS for us 7 tab owner
especially if the other smartphone that starts with froyo with roughly same specs can get ICS maybe, why wouldn't we?

You know you can get a case that has a bluetooth keyboard, don't you? Works well and you just plug into pc/power as you would otherwise...

[Q] Galaxy Gear working with nexus 5

So I'm planning on buying a galaxy gear off of ebay today and pairing it with my Nexus 5. I've read that you can and all but I just have a few questions.
Do you guys know what works and doesnt work when using it with the nexus 5? Especially the camera.
Does it update automatically or do you have to update it manually? Because I read that if you update the gear to tizen it won't work anymore with the nexus.
When I open it from the box will I need a samsung phone to set it up at first? Or can I do it with my nexus?
And one last one, if this works. Should I just go ahead and buy the galaxy gear 2 neo instead?
These questions would solve a lot for me, so if you guys could help that would be great. Thank you very much.
Hey. From what I've tried so far, Gear 1 with Tizen should work fine with your Nexus 5. I've got mine hooked up to my G2 and it works no problem. Camera, notifications, pedometer.
There have been rumblings about what music app to use for controlling the music on your phone but, for the most part, most things do work fine.
Search around and look for the Samsung apps to install as apks.
Good luck.

Galaxy Tab A and S Pen

I just bought a Tab A 9.7 LTE specifically to use it with the S Pen. The John Lewis website showed a pen with it, but there wasn't one in the box. If I just buy one, will it work or are the S Pen versions different?
Sent from my SM-T555 using Tapatalk
Turns out that you shouldn't buy things from your phone... on further inspection the picture of a pen is a side view of the Tab! D'oh!
The question still stands - if I buy a pen, will it work?
Sent from my SM-T555 using Tapatalk
You would need to have the tab version designed to work with the s pen I think. My tab a came with an s pen, but there is a version without it too. I dont believe the s pen works with tablets without the function designed for it. I onle own Not3 series devices so cant test, but a friend has my old tab s so i will test it next time i am visiting her and post back here if noone else can answer conclusively in the meantime.
Sent from my SM-P555 using Tapatalk
You're right - and Samsung UK doesn't sell an LTE version with a pen. Samsung Singapore does, though - with a UK plug and pre-configured to UK English... Luckily I passed through recently...

tmobile note 5 i need help

Ok so im a long time tmobile galaxy user.. started with the S2 went all the way up skipping the S5 switched to note3 and here i am with the note 5..
1) on the note 4 when i used the keyboard that came with the phone if i typed the word happy or sad, dog, cat, crying, baby, love.. anything, it would suggest an emoji... i can't seem to find a setting for the note 5 to do that. Is it possible?
2) i do not do not do not like the call popup if i get a call while I'm doing something else is there anyway to get rid of that?
I love having the Spen but I'm wondering if i should have chose the S6 edge plus. The note seems to be more for business purposes now.

You can ignore the call now like before... is better now because it the popup covers up less of the screen and you can ignore it or answer it on speakerphone and continue working...

I know that but i don't like it. Its not better to me personally. I guess i can/will get used to it.
No comment on my emoji Suggestions hu? Lol. I want to find my receipt because i think tmboile gives 14 to switch. Im wondering if the s6edge plus is more like the note 4. It would be hard to say goodbye to my Spen though.. urg sometimes i don't like change.
Not sure about the emojis
