Can XOOM 3G make Voice call like a mobile phone - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can any one advise this as its not listen in the 3G Specs..

By default no, but there has been talks about possibly getting it to work and a lot of people have success getting Line2 (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.toktumi.line2&feature=search_result) to work on it but requires you to even find the APK somewhere or download it on another android phone and copy the APK file off it.

I am looking for a core 2 Andriod 3.0 with at least a 7.1 or 10.1 screen...
Have to be able to make call.
Any recommendations..

I don't think you're going to find that anywhere.

Good luck with that, last I checked there were no tablets out there (at least in terms of Android 3.0+) that will allow you to make phone calls with them unless you use Skype (or mod it to allow making phone calls nativity.
I have heard that Samsung Galaxy Tab does allow you to make phone calls but I haven't tested myself and don't know if the newer Tab 10.1 (not sure if it's out yet or not) will support the phone features either since the Tab 10.1 will have 3.0.
I'm sure other members on this forums will step in to correct me if I'm wrong at anything I've said here but this is what I've saw so far.

I had some limited success with nettalk and my Google Talk phone number. Could connect with my home phone but my husband said it was very echo-y. I'm wifi only so it can be done. I'm going to try Line 2.

GrooVe IP works
i downloaded groove IP from the market tonite and it seems to work fine, it uses your Google voice number. No monthly fee like Line 2

I got groove IP from market and it works good enough. Thanks for the tip. I haven't been able to figure out how to receive calls with it though. Does it work for you? Anyone have any ideas?

receiving calls
you have to be logged out of Google talk on your xoom. Also, make sure that in your gv settings you have it set to google chat rather than your mobile number. Not sure if that made any sense, but they explain it step by step in the help section.

is that video calling or just voice?

How can I get the google chat to show up rather then the mobile number because I do not have that option. The only options I see are my mobile number and add this phone, nothing else. I can make calls with excellent quality on both ends but cannot get any calls on my Xoom because of this. What am I doing wrong?

That's the same problem that I was having. You have to log on to google voice settings using your web browser for the log in to chat settings.
My problem was that I was logged into google talk on my xoom.

I forgot about that. Well I am there on the web browser version of voice and I am a bit confused as to what I need to do exactly. Am I setting up a new number? I still don't see anything about google chat. I'm not a noob to technology by any means but never tried to set up calling on my Xoom until now because I never had the need for it. I do appreciate the help a lot.

Not really sure. When I go to google voice on my browser and then click on the setting tab in upper right corner and then choose voice settings, I can then click on the phones tab, that is where I am able to choose google chat.
Hope that helps, that's about all I got.
I will add that my calls work a lot better for the other party when I use bluetooth.

Dang... I just remembered a long time ago I deleted the google chat from my registered phones list because I didn't think I would ever need to use it. So that would mean I would have to add it back, but... yeah. If I try to add another phone it gives me the name to choose and I need to set a number for it, and I have no idea what the number would be for google chat. Thanks for the quick responses though! I'll try and figure out what to do next. And I have 2 nice bluetooth headsets and they do work great!

The legacy Galaxy Tab does let you use a GSM sim card and allow one to make phone calls as well as access EDGE/3G data...i helped a friend set up his tab a couple of weeks ago and can confirm this....im located in Mumbai, India...and the versions available here do allow the ability to also use it as a phone..

i believe its the kernel that is stopping it from possible.
at the momenet, honeycomb is designed to be a tablet OS, hence it didn't include the Phone's feature in the system.
for galaxy tab, (the older one), it running on Gingerbread which a Phone OS, hence it can be easily enable the phone feature.
i believe we need to wait till Ice Cream where it unite Gingerbread and Honeycomb, so that it has the phone's feature in the system and can be enabled easily.

Hey All
Just thought I'd add to this old topic. I have an Australian 3G Xoom, on the American 3.1 update, with my settings pushed back for 3G etc.
Tonight I installed the UAString/SMS mod, so that I could send SMSes (which work perfectly with Handcent, over the Telstra 3G network - just like any mobile phone would do). Then I tried calling my tablet. This also worked perfectly! The call came up, it connected, etc. I answered and this is where we hit trouble. No sound. Either way. So the Xoom doesn't have a microphone/speaker set up for sound during a call. I even tried setting the Xoom on speaker phone, but still nothing.
Any ideas? Not sure if this has been posted about before, and I thought it was pretty exciting, to be making normal calls, and SMSes (there is all this talk about Google Voice, which is useless outside of the US) on the Xoom, and this was very exciting for me.

Is there software like LowCaller (Voip>Landline) available for Android?

Hi all!
I'm virtually 100% an Android convert, putting it on my HD2 a week ago and barely looking back!
One of the few things I do need Windows Mobile for, though, is using a small application called LowCaller (lowcaller.com). This allows me to call contacts via my Voipcheap account but rather than going via the internet connection (WiFi, 3g) it calls a 020 (London) number and then directs me to the person I'm calling.
This means I get perfect quality international calls no matter where I am and I only use my inclusive contract minutes.
I've tried to contact LowCaller via their website but I can't get through to them (the damn verification code is always apparently wrong!) so can't find out if they have an Android version in the pipeline. They appear to support WM, iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian so an Android version would be very logical on their part!
Any alternatives?
Thanks!
I tried SipDroid with my SIP.
Can't hear anything on my end, maybe you have better results?
You can try Nimbuzz or Fring, and then add your VoipIP provider
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions but these apps/messengers are solely for calling via Voip directly to another party, as opposed to calling a local number which then, via my Voip account, directs to another party (meaning that I can do it from anywhere without the need for an internet connection, and with perfect results - no lag, cut outs, etc.)
LowCaller is fantastic because I've driven around towns and countryside in England while talking via bluetooth to my friend in Canada on her mobile - the quality was practically like that of any normal call!
It works like this,
I select 'Call via LowCaller' from my phonebook > My phone calls an 020 London number owned by LowCaller > The call gets routed to the number of the person I'm calling and I lose my inclusive minutes just like any normal call.
I think rebtel might do what you need
I use jajah (jajah.com) . It works like you described. Sort of. They give you a local nr for all your foreign contacts. So there is no app but you just dial the unique local nr and your friend in timbuktu answers the phone.

LowCaller
Come on guys!!
The guys is asking you about LowCaller in Android, and you recommend jahjah and Rebtel!!!!
JahJah and rebtel make a newnumber for each contact!! This is pain. You dont want to make a new number for each contact!!
We dont want to use 3g or wifi! we want to use a landline number.
So please, if you know anything exactly similar to lowcaller, please answer. Otherwise, DO NOT give bad recommendations!!
Afaik, rebtel does exactly what he asked for. I don't think you need to set up different no.s for different contacts, it just routes all international calls through a local no.

OK, I won't.
Bump!
Still no Android support from LowCaller. Any developments here guys?
Remember I'm after a LowCaller-type setup, i.e. I'm using my contract minutes to call a national number that will connect me to another number via my Voip account.
So stuff that simply makes calls via WiFi/3g isn't what I'm after (but thanks for the suggestions)
Peace

Hi keesvl55 - I've installed CcApp but can't work out how to (or if I'm able to) set it up to work with VoipCheap. I seem to be only able to add calling cards, which aren't what I'm using.
Looks like we're getting there anyhow!
I wonder if LowCaller will ever release a Droid version or update any of their current versions? It seems they never updated their WM client to work with 6.5.X, hence why I've always stuck with regular ol' 6.5, so maybe all hope is lost for them to come out with something themselves?
I guess another way would be to save the numbers LowCaller assigns my international contacts with in WM. I'm unsure, however, just how long these stay valid for before another gets assigned.
BUMP!
2,000 views so I can't be the only one after a LowCaller port / clone for Android!
I've noticed LowCaller's contact form on their website is working again now:
http://lowcaller.com/en/contact.php
Go there and request they release an Android version to the marketplace.
If you type "LowCaller" into Google now the first suggestion is "lowcaller android" or "lowcaller for android" - there's obviously a big demand so let's get harassing their developers!
Lord knows I might even click an ad or two should the need arise!

Christ! I think you may be right. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. Great spot !
Just a follow up to any one of the trillions Googling and finding this thread - as suggested above Betamax Dialer (now found on the market) looks like the way to go. The only difference I see between this and LowCaller is that with this you have to specify your Voip retailer's (e.g. voipcheap) local access number, so you only use that one number as opposed to a different landline number for each of your contacts in LowCaller.
I've bought Betamax Dialer Pro to show my support for a developer actually creating a Betamax local-calling client though I'm not sure exactly how the "call-2-call" or whatever it's called feature works. Guess I'll have a play around and see!
Under £1 on the market for Pro if anyone wants to try.
Thanks again 90180360.

The problem I have is that it doesn't integrate in the phone's dialer.
Also, if you want to choose a contact, it has to populate the contact list each and every time.
I still prefer to just save those contacts I want to call by VOIP as ACCESSNUMBER Pause PHONENUMBER in my phone book.
Works perfectly, no additional software needed.

When you put it in "InCar" mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake it up and use voice commands.

Also, it works! The new Google program is about 1/10 in getting what I say right.
Vlingo is (so far) about 5/5. I like that if it doesn't find what you're saying locally, it does a (very fast) internet search.
any word on making it work for other android devices? ie the g-1

Works great on the dinc. I appreciate the share!
thank you so much for sharing this app with the community. I have been fooling around with it for half an hour or so and it does some pretty awesome things. LOVE the in-car feature, completely hands-free and works perfectly, even reads and writes text messages for me. "hey vlingo"
Edit: Forgot to add, very accurate, even with names
Wow, the incar mode is really REALLY good. Anybody know how to have it differentiate between a contacts home and cell when sending a text message?
Say call blah blah mobile. That should work.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Google's voice search sucked at recognizing what I was saying for the first week or so, but then it got a lot better. I'm wondering if it learns your voice or something. Vlingo, on the other hand, worked well on day one. However, while it does a good job of recognizing what I am saying, it doesn't always give me the results I wanted. For instance, movie times never come up even though that's one of the examples the app shows, and it displays my exact phrase correctly (movie times near #####). It just says "No answer found". And I've also had trouble getting it to dial the right phone number for a contact. It's like it ignores when I say "mobile."
I'm having the same problem. It ignores when I say "mobile" after the contacts name. My g/f is getting irritated with the text to landline messages that repeat "test" lol
Is it necessary to install the standard Vlingo app before installing the incar pack?
I´ve been trying to download the installer but i still cant find it, it´s not in the market either.
It would be much if I ask to share the installer?

? It's in the second post of this thread.
anyway to successfully have this running in the background with the in-car? Currently it seems that the program has to be on main screen for me to say "Hey Vlingo" and it wakes...
Plus..too bad I cant say Jarvis to have it wake up
Instead of 'mobile' try saying 'cell'.

Right now the best way is to make two contacts for the person and label one cell and one home after the name. Best workaround at the moment.

Yeah, I went ahead and did that the other day, but thanks! Hopefully that will get sorted.
It would be nice if you could ask it to use your GV # by default as well.
i wonder if there is any way to train a contact that it gets wrong every time. Wifes name is tricky and unless i use her last name first it misses it every time.

[Q] Google Voice: Nobody's mentioned it, but I can't be the only one.

i.imgur.com/UAiIU.png
I am a heavy user of Google Voice, which I have on my Nexus One.
I cannot see GVoice on the Market from my Asus Transformer TF101.
When I browse to the Market from my desktop or mobile browser, it shows up of course, but says "this item is not compatible with your device" while referring to my Transformer.
Is this a honeycomb thing, or could it be an Asus thing?
I refuse to believe (unless you tell me that it is so) that Google would make Honeycomb somehow incompatible with the Google Voice app... That seems unimaginable to me.
While I have searched this forum thoroughly (I hope), I have not found any other mention of this issue, which makes me think that perhaps I am part of the problem... am I doing something wrong? Can anyone else confirm that GVoice is not available on the Transformer? Is anyone else as upset by this as I am?
(PS- I know I can browse to the voice webpage but that does not do push notifications. )
It's a google voice thing. It's dependent on telephony services, which the TF doesn't have. Google Voice team says they're working on it though, so expect something by the turn of the century.
Haha, oh how very lame! I do hope that they come out with something soon... I see no actual reasonwwhy Google Voice should not run on a wi-fi only tablet, right?
Thank you for the info!

All good, just trying to prevent duplicate threads on the same topic.. Anyways, GrooVe IP does work well, I use it on my phone so all my calls are minute-free. And, the Google Voice APK listed does work, but the main reason I mentioned searching is that on my thread I linked to the original Google Voice APK maker's thread where there are already newer versions than the one posted here.

My only issues with GrooveIP is that you have to log out of google talk to receive calls, which disables remote app installs from the market. Also, it is forced to portrait with tiny buttons.

I did not notice such an issue. I just don't log in to google talk though - and I've been able to remote install apps. the portrait thing is annoying, but usable.
This version of Google Voice that is linked, it's a rather old version and it only refreshes the inbox every 5 minutes at the "quickest". I tried moving the google voice over from my Thunderbolt to my Transformer but it wouldn't install.
Does anyone have the "new" version of GVoice that uses background data to sync the inbox instead of having to wait 5 minutes for it to "catch up"?

Free incoming & outgoing calls via your tf-101

hello everyone. just posting this little tut to help you get your tf setup to have phone funtionality. just one more way i use my tf. works great as a secondary phone when you are on tab and phone is elsewhere if you dont care to that is fine but please dont bother posting unless you are interested or care to help improve this process. THANKS!
Materials:
GoogleVoice setup and #
csipsimple or sipdroid
android device with data connection/wifis
ipkall number for free calling
Instructions:
Step 1:
Download SIPDroid from the Market Place
Step 2:
Obtain a google voice account
Step 3:
Launch SIPDroid and instruct it to create a PBXes.com account for you with your google voice account information
(attn:sipdroid cannot auto config pbx atm due to shortages so you will have to config your pbx yourself until the issue is resolved )
Step 4:
Go to IPKall
Step 5:
Go to the settings of SIPDroid and write down the first account information (should be [email protected])
Step 6:
On IPKall, put in the XXXX-200 for the sip # and pbxes.com for the sip proxy

I can't seem to get the IPKall number verified through google voice. I keep pressing the 2 digit code google tells you to use but she keeps saying "sorry, I didn't get that" then eventually saying "sorry that you're having trouble, please call back later"
Am I doing something wrong?
Shame it's only US
Should edit title to say [US-Only]
Even if you manage to activate outside of US using a US #, anyone calling that number will be charged international fees (since its a number in the US) and you can't forward Google Voice calls to your own phone outside of US.
try this...

Hey Skype is $2 a month for unlimited nationwide calling. But thanks for all the instructions though. I'm interested in sip, how's the quality compared to Skype?

great. however you must setup your delay settings and use a diff stun server if delay or feedback is present. refer to my references under stun servers if this is the case for you. i notice after extensive testing that when im testing while both devices are in the same room, you will have feedback sometimes; however when i call my friends,fam,fiance, they dont hear it.

i have made adjustments. delay for me is minimal. otherwise i would not use this as a secondary phone. it would be useless.

I keep getting this error when trying to register it with GV
+xxxxxxxxx : This number is already being used on two other Google Voice accounts. Forwarding numbers cannot be shared across more than two accounts.
Any way around it?

Not to hijack this thread but, where does it say you can forward to the same phone # from 2 Google voice accounts?
I have 2 gv #s and I have wanted to forward them to my one cell # but it tells me I can only have one gv forward to one #.

the way i use my gv account in this is to forward my sprint calls to my two tabs should i miss my primary. they can also be rang directly via my gv #.

This is similar to what I am running on my Droid Incredible. I use Sipdroid, with a Soho Pbxes account and GV. In this config I can go internationally, and as long as I have a wifi connection the calls will be free, including inbound.
Guys, I'm moving this to Apps and themes as it isn' strictly ROM DEV
Great work though, I'm hoping that we can get some sort of call / MMS support on the 3G model when released

I LOVE YOU!...So much more simple than the others. Thanks!
can you post more info on step #3 on how to do this? i'm lost at this point. dont understand sorry.....tyvm for any info
I have been using a similar setup for a while now, but minus the ipkall. If you have pbxes.org hooked into google voice, why do you need the intermediary number? And if you don't, how are you doing outgoing calls? Last I checked, ipkall was incoming only.

[Q] Google voice integration into hangouts

So this, might be a CM question, but has anyone using google voice on a stock rom seen the integration message in the updated google hangouts app "Migrate google voice to hangouts"? I've gotten the update, but I haven't seen the message as of yet and was just curious if the CM voice+ thing was interfering with it.

Thanks
I'm not using an OPO, but I do have my # ported to Google Voice. I have yet to see the message. I was reading a blurb on PhoneArena that the transition is not going too smoothly. I'd recommend to wait a bit, and let Google sort it all out.

My thoughts exactly, hoping they sort everything out as well. I have my Google Voice number and my regular number. I actually use both for different sets of people since Google Voice can't do international calling. To accomplish this took some fiddling though. I have Hangouts set to my default sms app, and Voice+ option disabled, this way the two environments stay separate. Otherwise all messages would be sent from either one or the other number completely.
Ideally would love to run everything through Hangouts with the option to choose how the communication is sent: phone's number, gv number, or hangout (the way it is now in how you can choose sms or hangout). Can't be an easy thing they're doing trying to integrate everything.
I have been waiting a long time for this. I hadn't seen that droid life article, thanks zephik. Hopefully they flip the switch back on soon. I use my GV number exclusively, so this integration is a godsend.

Hehe droid life is a pretty good site. They have some exclusives here and there. My main android blogs are AndroidPolice, droid life, and Android central. Mainly AndroidPolice though.
