Did you try a Google search? I found this as the leading result.
The Tab S8+ does not have a cellular modem, and is therefore incapable of placing phone calls via a cell network. You can, however, use VoIP applications such as Google Voice, which works over WiFi.

so a phone number is needed only for the data?

No...but a phone number is needed for some services such as SMS.
You can use any Internet connected device for Google Voice.

I think I was pretty clear - the Tab S8 cannot use SMS on its own, so to use SMS you must pair it with your phone.
If you don't want to do this, you can use a different messaging service, such as Google Messages

If you got it from Verizon, it does have a modem. But you have to use Verizon line. Like Verizon messages+ etc. The sms and call Iike none cellular tablets does not work on the Verizon tabs. They block it.

[Q] HTC Hero ROM to disable radio

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...
If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I did this and it worked fine. My question is, I am going to Europe tomorrow and I only want to use my phone for wifi. Its on Sprint so i don't think I will get service in London anyways. Will this do the trick for me?
actually thatll work on alll roms

You can enable airplane mode and use wifi as well.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.
I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.
16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

If you have.a Sense Rom? I believe you can press *#*#4636#*#* through your phones Dialer. From there you'll be brought to a Menu where you could choose Phone Info
and Try to Turn Off the phones Radio! Try that....
Good Luck!
now, what about going as far as actually removing phone functionality from the rom altogether? what apks and files need to be removed?
Anyone made a ROM without radio?

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

Yes, if you disable radio all calls and data (not wifi) won't work as it's not connected to any cell towers.

This is a known GV issue across devices, I know people have had this problem on the S3, so no it's not your rom.

This is not only an issue with gv, this happens from android to android or from android to iPhone regardless of having or using gv. I tested with other android phones, I phones, and multiple SMS apps, anything after the @ is dropped for some reason
I set up G Voice integration, and now when i get a call and my laptop is logged into Gmail, the call rings on the computer first, and only at the end does it ring on the phone. Is there any way to disable this, and have it just ring on the phone only... Or is this a by-product of having my Sprint number as my G Voice #? I unchecked forward to Google Chat in my G Voice settings on the laptop...
Also, what happens if i do answer via Google Chat on the laptop? Haven't tried that yet lol

If you do answer through Google Chat it will not ring on your phone and it will use your speakers and your mic to answer the call. You will literally answer the call on your laptop.

Correct. It can be a little startling at times, but for the most part the Google Voice/Sprint integration works pretty well. I believe Cyanogenmod is working on a system-level Google Voice integration for receipt/sending via the stock messaging app, but if you can't wait, there's also a good AOSP-styled app called Messaging + Google Voice on the Play Store. I haven't tried it for a while (there was an annoying duplication bug where you'd receive messages twice in the app-- once over carrier, once over Google Voice, but they told me it'd be fixed soon).
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the integration so far. I'm fine with texting the way it is, i think, because with the integration i already text thru the stock messaging app? And i like receiving texts to that number on my other phones thru the Google Voice app.... I prefer to know where the text came from lol.

The reason this happens is that Google Voice rings all associated devices, but the ones that are on a faster connection ring first. The computer's network connection is loads faster than Sprint's cell connection. Note that Springs 3/4G is not involved in this comparison.

does this mean that calls are still coming in to the phone thru the cellular phone network, and not data? because that would be one concern for me, as i would think that a cellular phone network would be more reliable than a cellular data network. i could be wrong tho.
and how about with regards to texting... are they still coming over the phone network and not data?
thanks for the info guys! you probably know more than is shared on the Google Voice site itself.

Yes. Phone calls still go to the cellular network, but it is a much slower send than what the internet gets. Same goes for texting from your phone.
You're phone acts as usual, but your computer has a faster connection so it'll get those things first.

ah ok, and do you notice that it takes an extra few seconds to send a call from the phone, after enabling integration, or is it my imagination? maybe it has to get routed somehow?

[Q] Google Voice after update

I'm starting a new thread for this as it looks like the original update thread is not the best place to ask. As with other Turbo owners, the recent update broke my phone's ability to use Google Voice for my voicemail. Anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Yep, this happened to me as well. My only solution was to uninstall it, then reinstall, and go through the process of setting it up again. I also deleted it off of the Google Voice web interface as well. When you re-add it they ask you to confirm it, then you go through a few steps which involves dialing a string of numbers to set it all up again. I had no voicemail for a couple days before I realized it was broken. Can confirm it is working again after starting from scratch on the setup.
Just noticed the issue when I read about it here. I uninstalled Google Voice from my device and then reinstalled it and reconfigured. Seems to work now...
Thank you both! Works fine now.
I just had to reforward it with *71.
Not a problem.
I've done the forwarding and set up thru google voice, then opt in for Hangouts to manage it
Enabling Advanced Calling gets rid of any call forwarding you set up. That's why your voicemail stopped working. All you should have to do is set up your call forwarding again and it should work.
As a side note, disabling Advanced Calling also resets call forwarding. VoLTE doesn't work great for me, as I don't have a reliable LTE signal at home. So, I disabled it and discovered my old calling forwarding settings didn't come back.
I have GV "working" again....however, when a number is forwarded to GV (because I choose not to answer), it rings FOREVER before GV picks up. It used to be an immediate pickup prior to the update.
This is still an issue for me, I keep reforwarding my calls and they don't stay forwarded. It seems like it's just a couple hours before it resets.

FWIW I just signed up to Verizon and got a Droid turbo for myself and a note 4 for my fiancé. I couldn't get Google voice to configure at all, on the Note it works flawlessly. So now I have a note. The techs there were obviously baffled. I'd still have the turbo if it wasn't for lack of GV.
Clear data/cache and reinstall/reconfigure. Haven't had any problems since I did that after the update. Didn't have any problems before the update either.
No one likes to use the hangouts for Google voice? Download the hangouts dialer and you're all set. Oh, go to settings and select ring this device for calls.
How I was doing it was I set GV to to make and answer all calls. It'll attempt to ring then give up. I'm going back to Verizon tonight. I like the Note 4 but it is pretty big. The only thing other than the turbo that I like is the Xperia z3v. I don't mind the incrementally weaker hardware paired with a 1080p screen. Waterproof is also a big plus.

Nexus 6 Verizon Wife and I phones no data while on a call.

As the title states my wife and I can't use voice and data simultaneously. We just got the phones a few days ago directly from Verizon. After extensive research I have found I guess HD calling has to be enabled on our plan for simultaneously data and voice to work. I have enabled this and double checked to make sure it's active, tried various stock and custom roms and to no avail everytime we make a call we lose Internet. I have an email out to a contact of mine at Verizon but does anyone else have any suggestions? Thank you.

AT&T Watch sport on VZW

Since you can't buy this watch on Google's site, or VZW's site, has anyone tried to buy one from AT&T and try to active it on VZW. Are they truly unlocked or does AT&T lock them to their carrier?
I won an att one from work and it did NOT work with my Verizon account. It has incorrect radios or something...it works through bluetooth for general notifications and such, but if you want it stand alone off the sim, then no, it won't work on Verizon's network...luckily we switched to att for better coverage in our area, so I am able to use the whole 'numbersync' thing, which is pretty sweet.

I attempted that same thing, and it wouldn't work at all, it would find the sim, and it would show it was a verizon sim, yes, but I couldnt take or make calls or texts with the verizon sim, I went round and round and round at Verizon and ATT and no dice. Tablets don't have call functionality so its a different sim is what I was told, I tried the same with my s2 sim. Glad you got it to work, I tried everything, but had no luck.

Regardless of where you buy the watch, I don't believe they have cellular radios in them, so they can't send and receive texts, and make calls like a phone. They must use LTE for that. Also you wouldn't want to have to use a separate number for calls on your watch.
That's the whole point of the sim? ATT has number sync where you get a new number/line but you can sync your current line to it...I can turn my phone off, leave it at home, and still get calls and texts on my watch. It does in fact have radios and LTE.

Well, I can send/receive calls, and send/receive texts on my tablet when my phone is powered off. It's called HD voice. Its a software feature, and works over LTE, and it ties to your cell phone number, not over plain cellular radio like phones use. The watches work the exact same way.

I had a similar problem. After I installed the same that I got from Verizon that use the ESN from a connect 24 then they will it still would not work and I had data. With the SIM in the watch and Verizon messaging installed on my phone factory reset it and the call setup.app came up and allowed me to enable HD voice and use Verizon messaging for texts. It now Functions autonomously I have data calls and texts without being near my phone I bought the watch from the Google Store and it is the AT&T variant

If you install it in your phone, it should become an option to install on the watch.
Confirmed working on Verizon. I bought the blue watch from Google, picked up a Sim from Verizon, they did have to use an LTE phone that we used to have on the account to activate the sim. This Sim had a number I never had before.
Once I put in watch, I reset "factory" the watch and in a few seconds I got a message from Verizon saying your new LG watch was synced to your phone number.
I have now made send/receive calls, and send/receive texts. It's pretty cool!

Once you use the message + app to link your watch sim (phone number) to your phone account (phone number) you can make cell calls, no issue. ..here is what I did to prove it.
linked with messenger + app, received the SMS to my phone and watch saying the number was linked, this SMS comes from Verizon, it's a no brainer that you have now set this up!
shut phone completely off.
on watch, turned off wifi, turned off Bluetooth.
opened watch phone app, dialed work number, connected, perfectly!
LTE Cell calls work just fine.
I came back to add this, that I do not have a way to test the actual connection, is it VOIP or Cell? But I can tell you this, I have spoke even to my boss for many minutes on just the watch out in the field, and we never had any problem hearing, or any bad noise on the line. It's fabulous!
fyi seems like a lot of you guys are really negative, but whatever, I have proved it works.

Once you use the message + app to link your watch sim (phone number) to your phone account (phone number) you can make cell calls, no issue. ..here is what I did to prove it.
linked with messenger + app, received the SMS to my phone and watch saying the number was linked, this SMS comes from Verizon, it's a no brainer that you have now set this up!
shut phone completely off.
on watch, turned off wifi, turned off Bluetooth.
opened watch phone app, dialed work number, connected, perfectly!
LTE Cell calls work just fine.
fyi seems like a lot of you guys are really negative, but whatever, I have proved it works.

Install the Verizon message+ app that will link the watch up to you phone number on your phone, so you can use the same number.
AT&T does the same thing with something called number sync

I know this is old, but trying to figure out how you were able to install Verizon Message+. Once I installed on my phone it appears to have installed on the watch. However, it doesn't show up in my apps folder nor does it show up under settings->apps->system apps. I see it when I go into the play store, it shows as up to date, but doesn't give you the option to open it from there. Any help is much appreciated!!
