Can someone tell me how the note operates as a phone? I mean, could I just pop in my SIM (tmobile or ATT) and have it accept data and voice? I guess "normally" I would just buy a data plan and it would only accept data, right?
I know this sounds like a dumb question, I guess I can't see why they would include voice capabilities with this? Who will put this thing up to your ear (I realize there might be some that would use bluetooth etc), but it still seems like this wouldn't replace your phone. I'd bet most people that have this will already have a phone. Why would anyone pay for voice on this as well?
Anyone have some insight on this?
The Note 10.1 seems to have an excellent speaker phone (at least the sound seems to be good) and yes, of course normally you will use a headset with it.
In this review they actually demonstrate the phone function - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dseMZFyf6go&feature=player_detailpage#t=343s
This is my first tablet with 3G so I ate be wrong about this but here it goes. I dint think most other 3G tablets have regular phone features like voice or sms/mms. They are ment to be used with a separate data plan. With the Notes ability to use these features I can just pop in my sim card when I want data and I will still get incoming calls or texts where as a tablet without those features would make me miss them.

So, are you saying that if I get a data plan from att or tmobile I should be given a phone number people can call me on?
I plan on getting the 3G version, and probably go with ATT. However, I have a tmobile phone. I am assuming I'd use my note for data and if I want to make calls, I will have to switch SIM cards to take advantage of the voice features.
It would be nice to know if they could be easily "joined" via bluetooth to an phone (I have an S3) and make phone calls or data that way. Basically, I am trying to figure out the best way to utlilize my voice and data plan when I get this in conjunction with my phone.
Thanks for your help.
In opposite to the Tab 10.1 (N/2), the Note 10.1 can be used for making phone calls. Similiar to the Galaxy Tab, this works either handsfree or with the supplied headset.
Of course, you need a sim supporting this. In Germany, most people have a normale sim with voice and data plan, pure data plan sims are in my eyes rare.
So in fact, you just plug in the sim and if it supports voice, you can call voice.

No. A regular data plan from att or tmobile will just give you data. I'm talking about taking my phone's SIM and using that in my tablet. I already pay for data and att doesn't care what device I use it on (As long as it is only on one device at a time). This way when I need mobile data on the Note I can have it without getting another plan, and not miss any calls or texts
works awesome as a phone, love it.
Very cool guys. Thanks for your help. Can't wait to get it.
Bluetooth S-pen ????
Samsung is also releasing a bluetooth S-pen that you can use to talk on phone .......
see here: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/300...iew-high-end-tablet-but-lacking-in-resolution
"unless you get the special Bluetooth pen also announced on Monday which you can hold to your ear during a conversation."
Your link doesn't seem to be working. It does sound cool if I could use the pen as the phone. If you find the right link please repost, I'd like to see that.

You can make and receive calls without any headset or anything. the speaker and mic are sufficient for desktop calls.

Hmm Mobile Defense looks quite interesting, im going to give that a shot.
Wave secure is better because you can remote wipe!
I cant use both because they both dont support google voice SMSs
Why pick? I use them both. Yes, I'm that paranoid.

Smart man.
I've been using Mobile Defense since it first went public last year. I haven't had to use it yet except to beep my phone to find it if I misplace it in my house.
I wanted to try Wave Secure but I thought I read something about costing minutes or something so I just left it alone.
Can you install it as a system app like Mobile Defense so it runs hidden and can't be uninstalled? Can you enable the GPS remotely from a web page?

Nah wave secure doesn't cost anything I don't think, had it for a while now, never had to use it yet though.
The first time you install it and open it, it prompts you to go into the marketplace and download a specific app which makes wave secure immune to being uninstalled.
Can't enable gps either, if your gps is not on when you lose the phone tuff luck. When I tried it without gps being on it tracked me to the nearest cell tower (which is about 5kms away from where I am) good luck finding your phone then.
Does mobile defense offer the option to remotely turn on gps? I have yet to give it a try
May be good to note that wavesecure is international whereas mobile defense is only available in america for now

Texts from WaveSecure webpage to your phone are sent from Singapore. (Check out the WaveSecure webpage screenshot in the middle in red text.)
A few days after I first was playing around with it, my T-Mobile account did indeed note texts from Singapore. Luckily, they didn't charge me extra, but other carriers may be different.
-----
I don't know if either program can turn on GPS remotely. Does anyone know for sure? I haven't seen that option.
WaveSecure though the website can tell you where the phone is.
WaveSecure doesnt send text's etc without you knowing, i.e. when you want to locate phone, wipe it, lock it. These are done by Text so I dont think it would matter if you get charged as it's only if you lose it...

Sonuva... I didn't see the whole singapore deal... since you mentioned it I decided to check and Tmobile definitely charged me for it. It's kind of bogus, too, because the number doesn't use country codes.
Bah.
I think I might jump over to mobile defense... I'm not sure what I was messing with, but wavesecure managed to send out 25 SMS messages from my phone. I can only think of one incident where it should have done it... I got a new SIM card and it sms'd my buddy list that they should notify me that my sim card was changed. Other than that, I haven't tooled around with it.

WTF? Who pays to receive texts? What does it matter where they come from? Mars as far as I care.
Can WaveSecure/Mobile Defense activate GPS if it is turned off if they are installed as system apps? I thought I read it could somewhere but I don't remember.
I go for mobile defense
Mobile Defense when you track your phone it gives you the exact street and house number of where the phone is.......Wave Secure dont!!!... Wave Secure has other tools to maximize security but at the end you just want to know where the hell is the phone to go and get it....
Mobile defense will turn on gps if your rooted
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I'm wondering why people like WaveSecure so much? I think Mobile Defense looks better, cleaner, and helps you find your phone easier, and doesn't have the Singapore texts. Maybe I should have named the thread differently asking why people like WaveSecure so much
Or does it have nothing to do with the functionality, and just that Mobile Defense is US only?
if you want to be able to voice dial, do not buy the htc sensation. the voice search doesn't work with bluetooth, and the phone is incapable of voicedialing. if you manage to get the apk for voice dialing installed,it will only force close on the phone; and other people posting in this forum will happily lead you astray and tell you to use expensive third party apps that will not work anyway. vlingo is the most commonly refered app and though it is free,it is not available for the sensation and if you manage to get it by way of work around,then it will actually ''brick'' your phone. this is a good phone, but the only option i have found that actually works is to use my pioneer z130 car stereo, which saves the contacts to the head unit itself and has its own voice dialing that does work. however, this is the only option.as a car stereo business owner and the holder of a masters degree in computer science,i have tried everything to make it work, but this pioneer stereo option was a fluke. so if you want to use bt for voice commands or voice dial period....by a different device,not a sensation.
u mad bro?

I don't use bluetooth but I can voice-dial just fine.
Just because bluetooth may not work with voice search doesn't mean the phone itself is incapable of voice-dialing.
Hold down search button
"Call 123-456-7890"
Works everytime
I'm able to use bluetooth voice dialing.
I'm using a BlueAnt T1 headset and I always voice dial without any problems while driving.

Mark me as dumb too then, because it won't work for me. I can do anything at all with the google button, from emails to texts, to google searches, maps, etc.
When I do a call command, it searches the web for "call [whoever I said]"
When I hold the call button on my bluetooth headset for 2 seconds, and try to voice dial, it calls but calls no one. no number. gives me to TMO.
I'm not ragging on the phone. It seems it works without bluetooth, but if you have it working with bluetooth, what settings are you using? because the stock android isn't working for me.

Same here, I have no desire for video chat... Absolutely none what so ever.
My question is; If this does go through and voice data is treated as data, on top of video chat, will data packages be realigned, or will it not be counted against the quota?
Still, it'll be nice to see this technology.
Got my answer:
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/08/26/hd-voice-calls-on-verizon-treated-just-like-traditional-calls
HD Voice Calls will be treated like traditional calls.
I'm excited. I just wonder which devices will be able to use the tech. My account has 2 s4s a note 2 (soon a note 4) and an s5. I'm sure the s5 and note 4 will be able to but the rest I'm not sure.

HD voice only if you're calling another verizon customer with a compatible phone. so really it won't affect any of my phone calls. Not an interest until all providers are connected.
Sounds good. But it will definitely require a serious OTA because I've heard of nothing being already developed in the S5 for this feature. Expect Verizon to mess with root.

The HD phone calls will not go against data, just minutes if you are not on an unlimited talk plan. The HD video calls will go against data.
Good luck getting it to work. If I enable HD Voice on my account, all my incomming calls stop and people get a message that the number has been disconnected or changed. Took 2 hours with Verizon to figure out thats what the issue was,. Once guy removed that feature from my account it started working again.

Hello,
I am looking to move my Verizon S3 to a Total Wireless plan. I cannot seem to find any APN settings to enter for it to work on Total Wireless.
Honestly, I cannot seem to find any info on re-purposing a Verizon S3 to a Total Wireless S3 phone. The only difference between the two versions are that the Total Wireless version does not support 4G.
Any suggestions on how to do this so I don't need to go spend $250 on another S3 from Total Wireless?

No, it won't work according to their page because it supports 4G. Hence, why I need to flash it to deactivate the 4G so that it can be activated. Same kind of thing to get a Verizon phone to activate on Page Plus, etc. Just can't find any info to do it for Total Wireless.
It will not work on the Total Wireless (sister company) network because of 4gLTE. It will work on Straight Talk. Straight Talk uses the Verizon tower to continue support for the BYOD. I have my phone on that network right now with everything working. I am running a custom ROM rooted so I can place APN's. Im running PAC-ROM, came from Mastamoon's CM. Not saying Mastamoon's CM wont work, I just decided to switch my ROM.

System Select - Im on automatic
CDMA Subscription - RUIM/SIM This is a standard mandatory change on LP Roms with the S3)

Never found anything for this. Anyone have any ideas?
I would try to query different areas of XDA (of course, that applies to your phone) as well as other forums like Phandroid, Android Central, etc...
Remember that when you query, use 1 or more keywords (sometimes you will find your lead/answer with just 1 or 2 words) and be sure to leave out the common words/letters (for example: a, or, and, the, etc...) will provide you results that can have one or more of the commons only. This also goes for search engines like Google and others.
Here's a little fun fact. When you query, using "quotes" on one key word(s) will emphasize the "quoted" word(s) in your search results. This works probably half the time (give or take).
I hope this helps!

I don't even get notification for missed calls. But it would be really usefull for me to manage and make it work.
Thanks.

Turn on Remote Connection in galaxy wearable app, give "Phone" permission to samsung push service, restart phone and turn off bluetooth it might take few minutes for it to connect.

Still can't get it to work. I'm not receiving calls or make a call from my watch via Wi-Fi. My remote connection setting is enabled. I can't give permission to push service tho, it hasn't that permission on the list.
Appreciate the help!
I have the Watch4 Classic connected to a Samsung S22 Ultra. If I turn Bluetooth off, I cannot make a call via just a WiFi connection. The watch tells me to connect to my phone via Bluetooth and try again.
As far as I know it is not possible to make calls through wifi connection watch-phone. Bluetooth only.

I was wondering this too. I just checked and cannot do it on my watch connected to my S22 Ultra. Says I need to reconnect Bluetooth.

Samsung a52s can make phone calls and receive calls via Wi-Fi. This is a friend of my who recently bought the watch.
It's disabled on LTE version. I have Gw4 lte version and can't make call using a wifi. But I'm getting text and other notifications when connected with a wifi.
GW4 Bluetooth can make call using a wifi.
Unless I did something wrong, I could not make a call via WiFi on my Bluetooth GW4.
I got NO this settings on my GW4 non LTE
Looked into my watch settings and found use remote connections. I did not set it up or try it, but it says it will work between my phone and watch. Do not know how valuable it would be to me since the phone and watch still have to be on the same network, using Bluetooth seems fine. I guess if I was outside with my watch and left my phone in the house I could still send and receive calls on the phone via WiFi if I no longer had a Bluetooth connection, but to tell you the truth, I usually have my phone with me and the range on the watch and the phone on Bluetooth is real good. Much better then my Galaxy Frontier.

The idea is cute but with mediocre battery life after last firmware update and wifi connection to be held constantly I do not think that fun will last for long
Any update on this? Thanks.
