Is it possible to use the tab as dialer for my Nexus 1

As I have only data and sms on my subscription on my Tab I would like to have a dialer on the tab which uses my gmail contacts (they are already synced to the tab) to make a call through my Nexus One phone.
Then I could keep it in my pocket or somewhere else during driving as I use the tab for music and navigation in my car.
Does anyone know of a dialer that can do this?

That would definitely be cool.

So, you want the Tab/Nexus to immitate a bluetooth headset?

Just the tab.

So. I don't recall having seen anything that remotely controls a cellphone. However, couldn't you have google voice make a call the same way it does when you use it from your pc and it first calls the number associated with your google voice account, then connects the call with the desired contact?
I know that is not specifically what you are looking for but might provide some ideas.
Otherwise, from what I understand you are saying is basically a remote controll for your phone? It doesnt necissarily need to be via bluetooth. I control my ip handset over the internet with the tie in to my enterprise im client. I can control any of the several ip phones I have attached to my profile in the call manager.
Let me know if you find this elsewhere. Looks like a great application for the tab. Im starting to have device overload!

I thought he wanted to use the Nexus for calls using his tabs data plan(?)
Just switch sim card?

But then he'd have to switch it back when he gets out the car, that would be annoying

Silly me, I didnt read that it was for his car But no, AFAIK there is an app that does this. A definate gap in the market for devs though *nudge nudge*

Voice Dialer

Am I missing something or does the phone really not have "Voice Dialer" on it? That seems kindof nuts?

Not nuts - more Tmo/HTC weirdness
Here you go
***edit 6-23-11
There are mixed reports of Voice Dialer fc'ing when trying to call. The current Voice Search will actually directly dial for me now so I'd go with that or Vlingo seems to be popular if VDialer isn't working.

Excellent, thanks. I copied the one from my Vibrant and it would not install. I thought maybe it was not compatible. Yours is, thanks again.

See Voice Dialer works for me but I can't get the Voice search to actually call any of my contacts, it just searches for numbers on google

I have an app called vlingo that has voice controlled everything. Don't remember if it's t-mobile specific though

I'm getting the same FC on the Voice Dialer app. Vlingo actually seems to work very well. What will change when we're rooted, what will make it work then, why does it not, now?

There was an update to Voice Search a day ago maybe that changed something because Dialer was working for me. The first time I used Voice Search it tried to search google but after making sure my pronunciations were better it worked the same as Voice Dialer was - note that the way Voice Dialer was working was not the same as on my N1 - no calls are getting initiated. Every time it prompts me to do what it thinks I said. I'm not sure if that's cuz it's broken or because it has learned what to expect yet.
Weirdness - just tried VSearch and it direct dials and everything - no need for voice dialer.

When we're rooted (bootloader unlocked) there is a chance that whatever dependency failure is occurring can be resolved in a modded htc s4g stock rom or we can just load up cm7 or hopefully a stock release (my preference).

New question the about Voice Search. Will it look up phone contacts? I don't save my contacts to Google, just sync with Outlook on my phone.

is there a app that I can use to make the phone hear commands through my Jawbone headset?
I just want to be able to call someone while driving by pressing the voice command button on my headset...
everything else works but the voice command... I can redial with a couple button presses of the headset, answer and hangup calls, ect.
the apk posted works but not through the headset. it hears you from the phone's microphone... not very functional when driving.
plus Google's version that's included in the phone has better speech recognition.
why didn't HTC include this function?

It isn't working as well as I thought it would. After I speak, it pops up a menu and asks me who I want to call. Isn't the idea not to use the phone while driving? No idea why it is not recognizing the speech.

Fixed: Bluetooth voice dialing intentionally INOP & OTA update update

Been unsuccessfully trying to get bluetooth voice dialing working with Jawbone Icon. Called HTC and representative said that bluetooth voice dialing was intentionally disabled on the One X.
Would voice dialing apk enable bluetooth voice dialing? Does it need to be installed as system app?
Also, the representative said an OTA update should be out for AT&T by the end of May.

The native Voice Dialer APK wasn't included. I've found a couple for ICS but none work on the One X. Vlingo works. For my BlueAnt Q2 it's a little funky. If you set up Vlingo InCar to listen over BT, you just say "hey Vlingo" to get it to respond and take your request. The first time I start it the Q2 says "feature not supported" but Vlingo's listening from that point anyway. Hopefully one of the devs on either One X forum will get a working APK out.

I use the leaked Voice Talk app from the Galaxy S III with my Jawbone ERA.
Supposedly they locked their servers but the app still works for what i need it for which is voice dialing. I get random FC's after command calls to other apps though.

The thing is Android has its own voice dial/voice search built right in the OS since 2.2.2. Why HTC disable this is beyond me. Even my AT&T Samsung GS2 has it after you removed the Voice app.
Actually, the voice search functionality is still there. You have to tap the mic icon on Google search widget to activate it. What's missing is click on BT headset button to launch it.

Found solution! I'm now able to long press the button on my Icon and get voice dialing over Bluetooth, even with screen off. Followed instructions at this thread:

Still no way to do it without rooting. Is that correct? I have contacted HTC about this and was assured that it will be addressed in a upcoming update (not 1.85.502) so I guess we wait and see.

Possible Solution
This issues has been bugging me. It's one of the few features that my iPhone 4S did well... very well. So, I set out to find the fix.
Unfortunately, I cannot root my phone. So, I had to find another way.
I happen to have a Motorola Finiti headset. I installed MotoSpeak. Which whether it works for you or not, it enabled the menu to select the built in voice dialer when I hit the bluetooth call button.
Hopefully it works for others also.

I went to the link and downloaded, told the phone to install, but it says this app is already there as a system file, but it does not work and I don't think I can uninstall. This is on the HTC One X. Any suggestions?
Jim

If rooted.......
Go to settings>app>all. Clear the data and cache for the app. Using a root file explorer copy the .apk that you want, go to /system/app, and paste it. It will ask about replacing the existing, say yes. Reboot and enjoy

wired issues!

I have couple of wired issues with my Samsung Galaxy S 3
SMS Notifications:
Sometimes, not always, only sometimes, I get an SMS but no notification is given. No statusbar notification and no sound/viberate notifications.
Nothing at all.
When open my SMS app, I can then see there is one unread message.
I even have reminder of unread messages which it remindes me of unread messages every 10mins., not even this notify me of these messages.
Does anyone have this issue?
Bluetooth headset:
Sometimes, when I start talking using my Jabra headset, all of sudden, there no more sound on it, then I need to press the button on the phone saying headset to switch back to phone and again press headset to switch again to headset, then it works.
Sometimes I have to switch between phone and headset once to get it to work, others, It happens every minute in a conversation so I need to switch between phone and headset everytime.
Anybody have such issues?

A bit more information about your setup would help us help you. Are you stock or running a ROM? How long has the text message thing been going on?
I bet the messaging problem is a network issue. It will probably go away in a day or less.
BTW wired means something uses a cable, opposite of wireless. Weird is synonymous with strange or bizarre.

About the SMS part, go to message settings, and see if Notifications is on

hehe meant Weird, typing mistake, but this is not my problem right now
info:
I contacted my network and they could see that the phone failed to retrieve few messages, so they could see that the problem is with my phone.
Android version: 4.1.2
I am using the stock sms app.

I guess i should.
But it is not rooted.
I am suspecting browsertexting app that does something. So I have now removed it and trying again.
But that for the SMS, not bluetooth problem.

I followed a tread about this issue last year which never got resolved; apparently a lot of folks are having this problem, still.
I too have tried several wake-up commands but, like you, not of them worked. Like you, I can give commands as long as I touch the mic icon.
Did you ever get an answer to this question?

Sadly not no. Google Voice works perfect tho.

If you turn off google voice activation it will work. That's how I fixed it on mine anyway. Edit. Just checked and turning off google voice activation still makes s voices come back on.
