Does anyone know if the LTE model has the necessary hardware for voice calls? IE: Does it have a microphone, proximity sensor, and appropriately located speaker?
I know it does not currently have the software support, but that can theoretically be added if the hardware is there.

Someone on Geforce forum has taken the back cover off and exposed the battery but not enough to see any of the detail that you ask for.
The other question is just what exactly does Nvidia mean by this "There is a version of the international SKU that supports voice on compatible networks, available for purchase in select regions."
DOES THE SHIELD TABLET LTE SUPPORT VOICE?
http://shield.nvidia.co.uk/tablet-faq/
I have the 32GB LTE version without a data plan, Wifi Only, and technically as long as there is data you can make VOIP calls on the Nivida Tablet using Google Voice/Hangouts or many other various VOIP applications available in the market. The Nvidia Tablet has a mic and speakers, but you can pair a bluetooth headset and use that for the calls. I have tried it with Hangouts and a bluetooth headset and it works making calls out using the tablet.... But I guess if it can be used as a phone with the built in hardware, it would first need a dialer app for you to be able to dial out calls.

Can u guys recommend me which is the best ROM for VOIP to work properly? Does the front speaker issue still exist in WM 6.1?
I understand using headset is the only option to get the voip working , but was wondering if there's solutions out there already?

What service do you have for VoIP?

SIP based service..I use www.pennytel.com
I am already using voip on my kaiser with official WM 6 ROM, but sound comes from the rear speaker
Front speaker issue is device dependent not WM version. AFAIK only a few devices work correctly. These devices had native VoIP at one time too. My latest VoIP cab (located here) can also connect with the GSM610 codec (kudos to dridders for figuring this out) which is much more efficient over a 3G connection. It also eliminates the one-way audio issues.
As an added benefit, the installation will work over a bluetooth handsfree as well. I've actually connected up over 3G then handed the phone functions off to my car handsfree w/o issues. Audio quality doesn't match GSM of course but its usable. For the most part this is a technology demo however. The only time I've found it really useful is when I'm in WiFi coverage but have no phone service.
I use asterisk with some providers such as pennytel ( Australia ) and other european providers. I'd really love to have my Kaiser working properly over WiFi (I didn't try over 3G yet).
I use to have a Hermes that was working properly (Ear Speaker) - though there was a lot of jitter - I now moved to the kaiser and VoIP (SIP) is finally working properly (no jitter) but only through the loudspeaker. I now have to use a headset...
I'd really like to have this finally working. I'm currently stuck to two stage dialing through asterisk (with unlimited plan to a few numbers) to use VoIP from my Cell.
Does anyone have some background info on how the VoIP plugin should be talking to the ear speaker (does it have to go through the "radio rom"? is it seen as a secondary speaker? etc.) and if anyone has ever fixed such an issues with other WM6 handsets?

As you are on the same boat, can I ask you which Bluetooth headset are you using? There are quite a few headset recommendations out there, but I wanna know from someone who is using it for voip. Thanks

Hey Sleuth, does your cab include the schap's setupvoip program?
Hi guys,
I use Sleuth's WM6VoIP and Schap's Setup VoIP version 0.3, had no problems getting it to work, tested both WiFi and HSDPA. Only thing is that I have to use the headset or BT cause of the well known WM back speaker issue.
I have no problems connecting to company's PBX thru WiFi using VoIP Setup, can register and make calls.
When I use the OpenVPN to tunnel to corporate network my SIP softphone application keeps registring using the WiFi network card IP address, not the TAP VPN adapter's one. Therefore voice can't be routed correctly
1. Is there a way to choose which Network adapter to use when using Internet calling and VoIP Setup?
2. Can anyone recommend any other application that's 'smart' enough to have the option of selecting the network adapter to use?
Thanks,
T.
VOIP while connected via USB?
Is it possible to use voip on kaiser when the device is connected to Internet via active sync USB method? sounds stupid, but if there's this would b a good solution to use voip in office where certain ports are blocked in office wifi.
I read over at cnet today a feature on FROYO.
"Froyo highlights
Of the significant changes in Froyo, the new Bluetooth an app-saving capabilities stand out. Drivers using any version of the operating system prior to Android 2.2 are unable to initiate phone calls through their Bluetooth headsets, a vast inconvenience for those who strive to go hands-free. In our tests, pairing and voice dialing were on point."
I have my phone hooked up to my Nissan Altima and when i press call on my steering wheeling, My captivate makes the call just like every other phone i've had. Same thing with my other car, the Benz's B67875878 BT module.
Why are they saying this about 2.1 when it's not true?
I have 2 different blue tooth headsets ( a blueant, and a plantronics ) and neither of them allow for voice dialing.
ahhh. that answers it. It's voice dialing. that's what they meant.
The article said "initiate phone calls through their Bluetooth headsets". That's what was confusing me. I guess most cars i've had, use an internal voice command that stores a digital number with a voice. So when i tell my car, "CALL HOME", it only is transmitting the number, not the voice data.
I think most articles are exaggerating the lack of this feature, most cars come equipped with voice tech that is internal to the auto or GPS device.

Cars come equipped with Bluetooth systems are still a minority. For most of us that can't afford a luxury car, BT headset is all we can afford. So, yes, BT dialing is an important feature. And I'm glad Android finally get it.
i dunno know about that. The benz is luxury, but my altima sure isn't. And nowadays, every car can get handfrees calling. Every ****ty ford has 'sync' which comes with it. Most newer cars have the bluetooth handsfree, it's the iphone sync to media player they it expensive.
I think I uderstand exactly what they are talking about. I have a Ford Edge with the Sync system. With my windows mobiel phones I was able to download the phonebook from my exchange account into the sync radio. I than could voice dial by saying Dial followed by the contact name.
Since getting the Captivate, my first Android phone, I have lost the ability to do this. When I tell the sync system to download the phonebook it seems to do so. But than I an unable to dial via voice. When I navigate the phonebook from the sync radio It seems all I have are the dumb AT&T information numbers that come with the phone.
I believe this has to do with the way the two differene OS's handle the contact synchronization of exchange accounts. With Windows Mobile it actually downloaded the cantacts from your exchange and synchronized them with your local phonebook. Android seems keep the contacts from the different sources seperate so the Exchange contacts never make it to the "local phonebook" that systems like "Sync" interact with.
This is just a theory as I am not a developer or anything. What bother's me is that my buddy bought a Droid X and is able to use his with "Sync" type systems. I don't knwo if this has something to do with the Blur software or not but it kind of made me think my theory didn't hold any water.
About time! I miss this feature from my blackberry!
Does Asus Garmin a1o and m10 support Garmin cityxplorer pedestrian or city navigator voice instructions through mobile phone Bluetooth headset?
Is it possible to keep the same BT headset on the same time connected to mobile phone, to answer any incoming call or dial out?
I don't know which one to buy except that a10 seems to be cheaper more then 100 Euros.
Is there any difference in a10 and m10 BT support capabilities?
PS. I mean to use a different BT supported phone for calling, because usually there are different sim cards for voice phone and high speed Internet and in abroad I use cheap local prepaid Internet whenever possible.
I have successfully paired a Blueant s4 bluetooth speaker with my Lg Connect cell phone. I am able to answer calls through the bluetooth and voice commands are working. When I place a call using the bluetooth, the number is dialed , however, to hear through the bluetooth I must first turn the bluethooth off then on while on the phones call screen. Defeats the whole purpose of "Hands Free Calling". Will I need to root my phone and download an app to fix this? Metro and LG blame the bluetooth devices. The bluetooth companies blame the phone. I have tried two different bluetooth devices. Can someone please help me?
With Android, is it possible to answer WhatsApp voice calls using bluetooth earbuds or headsets?
I have tried various bluetooth earbuds and headsets that include a mic and with several Android phones such as Xiaomi Mi A2 and a OnePlus 8T and nothing seems to work.
I can answer normal cellular voice calls using these devices with no issue. Just WhatsApp is the problem. It's frustration because most of my calls are via WhatsApp these days. I have to get the phone out of my pocket or bag and hit the answer button. It's a pain and inconvenient.
My friend with an iPhone does not have this problem using Apple earbuds.
Is this a limitation of WhatsApp?
I have some Jabra 85t earbuds paired with a OnePlus 8T - both powerful and modern hardware and yet this stupid simple software issue seems to let me down
You might also experience issues with WhatsApp calls if you use a battery saver or Bluetooth connection. If your battery saver or Bluetooth is enabled, please disable them and install the FM Whatsapp APK if you do not install it yet in your mobile. Because FM Whatsapp is the modified verison of official whatsapp which somes a lot of features which you must like them.
Thanks for your reply.
Firstly, as mentioned these are wireless devices that use Bluetooth so disabling a fundamental component is definitely not going to help this issue.
Secondly, asking people to install an app from an unknown source is very dangerous. Personal chats can contain sensitive information. I definitely will not be installing FM WhatsApp. Who knows what organizations the author is linked to.
Just an update that I changed my phone to Google Pixel 6 and the Jabra earbuds work with WhatsApp nicely, I can answer calls with one button press just like regular cell calls.
My conclusion is that there is something in the OnePlus 8T that prevents this.

It is recommended to troubleshoot such issues by checking your network connection, updating the app to the latest version, and ensuring that you have sufficient internet bandwidth to make the call.
