I tried with GrooveIP but no luck.

No luck with Csipsimple or Sipdroid. I figured one of these would be the first to get mic/headphone support.

I have tried Skype but when the person who im calling answersthe call it force closes, havent tried any other app.

the only thing the mic can be used for right now is the built in nook functions and voice search. i don't think we will be able to use the mic for anything else until we can get a custom rom on it

I do all the time, download groove ip from the market, it links to your google voice account

I agree with you, though i will give obion a try too, i already have an android smartphone for voip calls but it would be awesome if we could have it in the nook, in fact is one of the reasons i bought the NT and not the NC. It is definitely a must have feature, at list for me .

Can you tell us more about your set up?
..OS version, root method, other google apps, non-google contact apps, etc...
Thanks!

No, it's surely can be used in any app. Because it's working in Hi-Q MP3 Rec (Lite), for instance. BTW, the sound quality is very good.

I can confirm that as well, I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from the market to record notes, and it works. What gives? if some random app can get access to the microphone, why can't the VoIP apps do it?
I'm trying to figure out how to make a call somehow as well.

Has there been anything new on this front yet - just bought and rooted a NT and would love to make calls with it

I used skype on mine and it worked well.

The closest I have gotten is with Skype or grooveip.
Skype FCs when the party being called answers. Each version I've tried has acted a little differently so I am still hopeful that an update will work some day. With the proliferation of tablets I know they are working on it though not necessarily for the NT.
Everything about grooveip seems to work but the microphone doesn't seem to be recognized and the speaker does not work. The speaker plays the ringing sound while trying to connect (and the volume is adjustable) but upon answer it does not play and the volume function is Xed out just as it would be when you are muted at the lowest setting. Volume buttons do not respond. Other than that there is definitely a telephony link between the NT and the phone being called. This is version 1.1.8 I'm trying.

Would you mind sharing? I am quite interested in getting Skype to work. No success as yet.

Here's a basic (possibly stupid) question. Is the NT headset jack a mic/earphone jack or just a headset jack? I couldn't tell from any of the teardowns.

im not sure but it could be a lib/s missing or existing one that need to be modified, ill try to look into it ask some devs i know and report back

I downloaded textplus and it is SO ClOSE to working! I can use it to sms and I can receive calls and make calls. The person on the other end can hear me BUT I cent hear them!

Also there is twin thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363215&page=10
and one interesting comment
I also have success with iPhone mic + talk-a-play. I note /etc/astound.conf shows both mic channels ON. Could this be part of the problem? Linux Alsa doesn't work with Skype unless you turn one channel off because the 2 channels cancel each other out. Someone who really knows Alsa needs to have a good look at this file. I don't really understand it, but it definitely gives a description for a mic.

I'm playing with asound.conf now, and it seems to be the right place to look. I managed to break HI-Q recorder from working, make 'fring test call' be heard (not me), and even make device stuck from full boot (removing asound.conf from adb shell saved me) =)

[Q] Call recording?

Hi,
Has anyone tested whether call recording works? In case you didn't know, there IS an API for recording calls, however it silently fails on most phones. Apparently on some it does work:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117
According to that bug report the Galaxy S can do call recording, so maybe the S2 can too...?
we had one working on the s1, really hope we can see one here soon

I have installed total recall on my galaxy s2 and it works but I can perfectly record with loud voice the opponent but i don't hear my voice.. very strange, it is the opposite of Galaxy s..
I have tryed also Call recorder widget but it doesn't record anything.
Some other experince?
Just wanting to keep this alive. Total Recall records the remote voice great but not the local (phone mic) voice.
I did see on another thread with the S1 replacing some system files, from a Taiwan ROM? Is this not possible with the S2?
Thanks for anyone attempting to fix this. Otherwise, I'm happily surprised by this phone everytime I look at it
There is another thread on this already.
'callrecorder' from the market (green android icon) records both sides properly.
It doesn't use the speaker phone to record so it s great quality

Callrecorder By Dsoft works great, yes the one with the green android
Thanks guys, will test tomorrow!
Another +1 for Callrecorder By Dsoft. Installed it and works great.
Great news! You just pushed me to buy this phone
Yessss callrecorder works good so it means with galaxy2 you call record perfectly both direction, but it is too simple as software missing of many settings... Is there some more complete call recorder for our galaxy s2?

Hi.
Just today I founded this app: VoiceRecorder and works perfectly for my SGSII.
Different from Calrecorder is that this app don't show any icon when ready for recording
and also is for free
DarkyRom2 XXKI3 Base ( 2.3.5 ) comes with an in-built call recorder which works very smooth , you can hear both sides very clear and it has a button in the call screen so it's very easy to use ..
it works!
one more app that works!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ohc.phonetapper
so which is the best? any of them work on bluetooth?
also WHERE is the callrecorder by dsoft I can not find it in the market. anyone have a link or an apk if no longer on the market?
found the dsoft one via google search.
odd he has 3 that all appear the same 2 free 1 $3 but support appears lacking and apparently it has issues with file corruption you won't know about till you find a file it did not record.
consensus on which is the best/most reliable. I don't mind a pay app especially if the quality and transparent (record all calls to sd) automation is good.

As far as I know call recording will not now nor will it ever work over bt. The drivers don't support it
Hmm it must not be accessing the hardware directly like it does on the touch pro2 - since on that unit it records no matter what I use to make the call speaker handset or bluetooth.
Pity
Is this a hardware limitation or a software limitation?

I think both. They tend to remove it as it is illegal in many areas unless you tell them it is being done before they say anything. I used to use it myself till a buddy of mine found the recording while we were looking over my phone files to troubleshoot an issue and as a lawyer he adviced that I stop using it right away or I could be sued lol

Will GrooveIP work?

I'll have to look into those ones, I installed Tango video calling, and I can see the other callers video, but no mic or video on my end. I wasn't expecting it to work, and I'm ok with it not working just yet, hopefully it will get fixed when full release comes. Other than that, this thing rocks!

I used Groove IP to call my self, I could hear my first word, then it went dead. Def has potential in coming CM updates.
Same thing here
Gtalk with video - video works but no sound from to
Skyupe video - neither video nor audio work (audio seem to start OK)
Sipdroid setup with Google voice - calls go thru but no sound from tp

I used grooveIP with google voice disabling the 3g/4g option and also enabling google chat under GV settings. I was able to make a call but the sound was either delayed or not there. I can see this working with updated versions of CM. I can also receive calls but same sound issues.
I've tried sipdroid Cm7 but audio doesn't work.. Hopefully cm9 will be a different story.

GrooVe IP

Hi, I am trying to get this to work for the Nook Tablet, anyone have any suggestions?
The app works but it doesn't use the mic, so when I call people they cannot hear me.
Description about the app: "GrooVe IP - app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It works via Google Voice." Quote by Explore3.
Thanks so much!

Suggest messaging the app develop to support nook tablet.
I couldn't find any similar app that works...
I don't know which ones I tried offhand... 5-10... none of them worked. Most often the mic didn't work
I tried another app that did use the mic (some voice changer) and it worked with the mic. Just FYI.
I also tried a couple google voice vop apps including gvoice and grooveip with the the same results--no outgoing voice via mic. It seems the mic is not captured by the app, maybe its protected by the proprietary kernel idk. It works with voice recorder and i can blow out the flame on candle, but thats about it. Voice via mic also registers on a db meter app. I guess voip is "locked out" right??
Update after installing CM7 via CW backup. Grooveip is the same--no outgoing voice, but speaker works fine for incoming voice. However, it's the opposite for the other phone apps. On the native phone app provided with CM7 and on gVoice the mic works great, but alas no incoming sound via headphones nor speakers. Also, voice search and voice dial work pretty good, although there is room for improvement on the voice recognition for the dialer.
ps Good job on the CM7 port--its amazing--many thanks!
Has the fix for the mic problem been found yet? And if so what is it??
Google voice search works with the mic now w CM7~! So does gVoice (and also native CM7 phone app), but arrrrg without speakers. I have no idea why the mic won't work with grooveIP, and instead the speakers work. weird how the results are opposite for these voip apps. its soooo close to working I can taste it...
Is there anyone else trying to get this to work? GrooveIP works except for the mic. when I try it. I think it has to do with the mic Device settings.
if gVoice works with mic (but no speaker audio), and in contrast GrooveIP doesn't work with mic (but has speaker audio), its only a matter of getting either app developer to take a look at their app with CM7. just a matter of time.
FYI...I'm running the latest CM9 nightly(20120527) and grooveip seems to be working with both a wired headset and also just using the built in MIC...
Same experience here.
I have a Nook Tablet 16GB custom rom - using Liquid Smooth v2.4 official.
Groove-IP wont even sign in.
even tho on a stock unactivated SGS3 on the same network works like a charm.
After a few minutes it reports no valid network available....
You have to set it up on your PC first.
Won't let me use my mobile number, so I guess I won't be using it on my Nook16, running Android 4.3.
I've had no problems with mic or speakers using GrooVeIP. I've been using Android 4.1.2 20121208 succulent acclaim rom 10.1 running from bootable SD card.

is there any voip app working?

my NT is rooted on 1.4.0. (I haven't upgraded yet until I need to or see a useful advantage.)
I've tried the latest version of skype and also groovip. both seem to have a microphone problem. groovip had secial submenu in settings called trouble shooting which handled the inbound voice and got it working but the outbound like skype has mic problems. mic works fine in other apps. possible permissions problem or device mapping issue? I'm not that tech savy so any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. (or a referral to another app similar to groovip)
thank you for retina-refraction-time.

until custom roms are out, there is no way that the microphone will work with any voip apps.
i think the reason behind it is because the nook os is forbidding the microphone to be used with anything other than what it was meant to be used for.
read and record your voice for children's books and the like. this is probably the reason why some apps that use the microphone do work such as google voice search, hi-q mp3 recorder, etc.
the common thing between those two apps is that they are used to record your voice, where as voip does more than that.
so until custom roms are out, voip apps will not work. installing a custom rom means installing new software, in this case installing a new OS.
hope this helps. we are getting real close to CM9 so just hang in a little longer!
I tried out the new beta of Evi (siri altenative on android) it seems to work great. I haven't tried the headphones/mic jack. does it support mic through headphones and has anybody tried it?
I have used teamspeak and ventrillo.

[Q] Wifi Phone Calls

Has anyone used the NT to make a phone call in CM7? I've been playing around trying to add pbxes in the phone settings but I can't get it to take. Anyone had luck at this?
nope, wont work
you have to specifically contact the app developer and tell them to add Nook Tablet as devices to be compatible with
because the voice recorder app works and many other games work
Really? Neither Sipdroid or the native phone app that has voip included in the setting won't work no matter what? I haven't tried Skype as of yet but I'd imagine that and things like Fring would work. But you say not to bother and because they will not?
sorry, forgot to mention i am on the CM7 rom
and before when i was on the stock roms, no they would not work.
in cm7 though, most voice apps will work, except for calling ones since...(i dunno)
my experience is with groove Ip
I have tried everyone I could find (with a decent rating) and results were no mic or no speaker. Could not get both to work on any voip/sip app at the same time.
