Hi. I was thinking if the Nexus 7 3G would be good as a replacement for my mobile phone. I have seen a few demos on youtube and obviously you would need a bluetooth hands free "In Ear" type, but what about whatsapp, sms messages, emails, etc does all this work well ?. Just interested to hear back from people. I think the battery would drain quick having to have data connected all the time as well as bluetooth for phone calls. Any feed back would be great. Thanks.
There is no way to use as a phone yet, as it cannot receive true mobile calls like a phone can. Read the thread on this in the N7 3g dev section. Sms is working. For whatsapp, look in the themes and apps section of this forum, as there are install instructions. All the info you are looking for is already well documented and readily available right here in the n7 forum.

I just got myself a refurbed N7 on it's way... looking to do similar, but just for wifi.
From what I understand, since google voice and chat can pretty much replace a phone completely on my PC, I assume you should be able to do the same on a N7?
I tried to get google chat to work as a phone on my EEpad trandformer, but for that device there are serious hacks involved to get there.

for whatsapp, use your n7 and go to the whatsapp website and download directly from there ~ It works for my n7 ^^.
I was hoping to user my T-Mobile sim with Vonage Mobile until I found out T-Mobile block data for this device (for prepaid sim). I will have to try Go Smart next month to see TMobile also block it through that. I don't want to use Straight Talk due to their throttling.

I use Viber instead of WhatsApp
Since not everyone is happy using non-free apps, I instead use Viber on my N7.
Just as with WhatsApp, you have to go to their website to download the apk, since it is marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Also, you can not have it active on your mobile and your N7 at the same time. Which is the same as with WhatsApp.
I also couple Viber with MightyText, so any regular SMS I get on my mobile, I can respond to on the N7. Of course, I can also send new SMS from the MightyText app on the N7, or from my computer.
Been there, done that.

What is everyone's opinion on how the call quality is using 3g I have good and bad.. a lot of echo problems and such? BC I have thinking of doing this as well but I was considering the n4
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
It depend on the app you use. I use Vonage and I don't get echo issues like with Google Voice's clients.
Also I just sucked it up and go with the T-Mobile Mobile Broadband $35/month for 3.5GB. Will just disable data on my Galaxy Nexus since I only use it to make calls now. But I also found tethering 3G from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 7 with the screen off doesn't use up much battery and can go for hours.
But can't you only call people that have vonage as well? I don't of anybody really that I would that has that... so it wouldn't be effective

I think PlayStore doesn't let you download Vonage on the Nexus 7, you'll have to download it from a phone then sideload it on the Nexus 7.
Using Vonage, can make free outgoing call within USA and Canada, it will use your actual phone number you activate the app with. It however do not receive incoming calls, unless the other side is also using Vonage.
Since the Nexus 7 do not have phone feature, when you activate Vonage on it, don't put in the "mobile number of your Nexus 7 sim card", put in your regular phone number, when you make outgoing calls it will display that number you activate it with to otherside, that way people can call you back to your phone.
Or if you want to receive incoming calls via Google Voice apps, then activate Vonage with your Google Voice number. I find that during activation process, when Vonage tries to sent an SMS text message with activation code to the Google Voice number, nothing will happen, but then you can select the option to receive the code via call, then shortly you will get a voice recording of the code if you log into your Google Voice account.
I like Vonage more because of better call quality and machines will recognize number inputs, which tend to fail through Google Voice's apps. Also Vonage allow free video calls now if both parties use Vonage app, though yet to be updated on iPhone version I think.

Google Voice or Skype is very helpful to do the voice message.But for replacing the real phone, maybe we should expect the next generation supports phone calling just like the Asus padfone.

I have the wifi only nexus. I use a wifi mobile hotspot for Internet. Call quality is good. Texting works great as well.

OK guys, we already have a thread that is a work in progress trying to port TMOBILES WiFi calling to our device. Now I would like to see what other people have done to compensate for not having the T-Mobile app. What are the best 3rd party apps that work good for you and can you both make and receive calls using them?
Feel free to post any alternative to the T-mobile wifi calling app that has worked for you.

A dirty workaround is using google talk video chat and choosing handset speaker. It sucks, doesn't use the actual phone number, but does function if you're desperate.

Which one did you get? I'm in a similar boat trying to find a cheap phone just for use when I'm at home.
Look for 2 threads started by acegolfer, these will help you the most. One is called free voip calling w/iLBC codec and the other is something along the lines of Piaf with amazon ec2 or ew2. Not necessarily these easiest ways but from what I can tell they are probably some of the best. The first thread I mentioned also has a comparison of the most popular ways. Hope this helps some.
edit: there is also the Vonage app that has ok quality but you can only make calls and not receive them.

Vonage. Can't get incoming calls unless you subscribe, but free wifi/3g calling is awesome. The codec they use is HD (speex I believe) and is the best ever.
If someone calls you, just call them right back on the Vonage app. It's the best. Avoid talkatone/grooveip and the other "VOIP" apps. They are echo/delay city.
Vonage is free. Doesn't require you to be a Vonage subscriber. Just install it, use voice/text confirmation of your number, enroll and you're done.

I was just checking out NFC on my One with my Samsung Galaxy Axiom. Everything seemed to work fine except the ability to receive pics. When the pic on the Axiom shrunk and I pressed it to beam, The HTC One recognizes it but then goes to the Play store and displays the message "Item not found...Retry"
have anyone else encountered this issue or know of a fix for this?
I experienced the same on an S4. I could send a picture but not receive one. Was sent to the play store. I installed a few nfc apps and still was unable to receive.

I may call HTC about this...they advertise it and recognize it as though you can send pics via NFC to any device, they both must have NFC and have it turned on.
This is not a big deal breaker for me, but I am a little upset about it. When I had my S4 (that I traded for the One) it worked great sending and receiving pics via nfc.
oh well, hopefully some more people can chime in...
Thanks for replying
I couldn't send or receive anything by NFC between phones until I installed and used superbeam (really any NFC app should work though). From my understanding the trouble with built in NFC apps is that they seem to be proprietary. So a galaxy will communicate very well with another galaxy, and nexus 4's are buddies, but they don't mix between brands in my experience. But again third party apps can solve the issue.

I'm going to agree. there's never a problem while sharing files with same manufacturer. I have Xperia S and I can easily share pictures and files with another Xperia device. But when I try same with Galaxy S2 Galaxy S3 or even Galaxy S4, they don't even recognise that something is about to shared.
I'm not so sure about superbeam
if your phones basic configuration doesn't allow you to share files than how would a third-party application can override and send files ?
Superbeam is a neat app, however thats not what I was talking about. With superbeam you have to be one WiFi ..this WiFi direct.

All you have to do is enable NFC on the phone to enable it, which the OP did so the phone was ready. Superbeam doesn't website anything, it's just a client that allows you to utilize NFC. The phone just needs a universal client like that.

You can't transfer anything by just NFC, it can't support high enough teacher rates. NFC is only the initial communication between devices that sets up the transfer, then either bluetooth or wifi direct MUST take over to do the actual transfer. So really there's no other way to do it, that's just how NFC works regardless of which so you use.
Also (just in case you were curious) wifi direct is not really the same thing as wifi. A wifi direct connection is a temporary private network between just the 2 devices that fits not require either to be connected to an Internet wifi network. So the transfer doesn't occur through the Internet. Think of it like bluetooth but with higher transfer speeds

Right ...I understand that. However on devices, that I used to when I sent /received pics which was Galaxy Devices and Sony devices as well as Motorola Devices. When I used those devices, I did notice that Bluetooth was automatically turned on and used in order to send the pic via nfc.
Which is fine. But what I'm coming to the conclusion of is that HTC devices do not receive pics from other devices. However they are able of sending them...which is kinda strange to me.

I can't say what the issue you're specifically experiencing is, but I can personally confirm that that my One can receive things using this. I just did it last week by using wifi direct established by NFC. I do definitely think it's weird if you really can't receive though...
Sorry, but why do you think superbeam won't work? I don't mean to push it on you but it did exactly what you are looking for.

Oh haha I understand what's going on, I had the same damn confusion you have to browse the file on your phone (outside of superbeam), select share, and select superbeam from the options. That will then open superbeam and allow you to start the transfer. For example, to share a picture browse it in gallery. And if you can line up the phones just right you can use NFC instead of the QR Code
Nope, you just have to have your wifi active but it does not have to be connected to anything. It will make is own network to connect to for the transfer. No Internet required

Psst... Remember that sending files using NFC such as photos requires android 4.1 and above. On devices on or higher than 4.1, beaming a file should initiate a Bluetooth pairing and transfer automatically.

I've just tested the NFC with One and Nexus7 and it works fine.
You don't need bloetooth or Wi-Fi to be enabled to receive or send the file.
The only thing that you have to do is not to move the devices. If that happens during the transfer then the upload will be aborted and you'll get the store message.

If you flash the unlocked tar image to the phone it will give you volte, but it wasn't working for me unless i was already on wifi calling and then left the wifi network i could continue using data, once i got off phone and made a new call on cellular it wasn't working.

It sucks that yes with all this technology, Sprint is so F behind. Volte should be available for unlock and carrier phone right out of the box. I mean for carrier S8 it came out a bit late, but not as late as the Note 8.
And why does Tmob. Is able to do Volte and hotspot. Just like that.

No not that it was never coming back. It just wasn't coming back till Sprint had VoLTE infrastructure in place and they turn it on.
I think it is still a year or two out before they get that going. The good thing is if they actually activate it our phones are compatible for it.
Turning this stuff on, on our end won't work till Sprint turns it on, on their end.
