I tried viber, mypeople to make phone calls. None of them worked since these apps dont recognize NT's microphone. I also used earphones with mic but they dont work as well.
Hope there is voip app that works on NT
I tried viber too. Such a shame it doesn't recognise the mic. Maybe possible to tweak a setup file for it to work. Anybody have any ideas which?
I was lookin forward to it too

I have the same problem with Skpye
When I dail somebody,but always failed
Only One time,when I did "video call" to somebody ,it worked,both voice and video
The annoying thing is that if you download google voice search that uses the mic!
I have seen a few reports of people using google voice with groove Ip... also seen reports of it not working though
I have groove ip, I can call out and people hear me, my only problem is hearing them. I might try using the speaker phone setting or headphones and see what happens. hopefully once we can load custom kernels well can find a way to unlock and utilize the Bluetooth enabled chip giving us the option to use a Bluetooth mic and speaker
What about Gvoice app?
I have both gvoice and grooveip on my NT. I have incoming sound but no outgoing on either. How did you get the mic to work or did I misunderstand you having outgoing voice??

Could you share which version you're using? I connect but neither the mic or the speaker seem to work? Did you tweak the mic gain any? I tried a few setting but it didn't seem to make a difference.
cm7 alpha final and no mic with voip
I am using the latest cyanogenmod7 and have used groove ip, line2, and a few other apps without success. Everything works except the mic. I use groove ip now and then to call my phone when i cant find it around the house with my nook. I really need this service to work though. Voip is pretty important to my oj this nook. Hopefully a fix will come along.

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) =)
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.
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.

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.
Has anyone gotten groove IP or talkatone (or any other app) working well on their player?
I installed both and they both work, I just can't get the delay to a minimum. I set google voice up so that if my cell misses a call, it forwards to my SGP. If it's not on WIFI or gets ignored, it drops the call to google voice voicemail, transcribes it and emails it to me. Pretty cool imo, especially for free.
I tried playing with all the settings in both programs.. with a good wifi signal and my home router the call is clear but there's a good delay to it. Every once and awhile the call gets kinda choppy like you're losing service too. My computer that's connected to wifi right next to me tests 20mb down, 2mb up so it shouldn't be a connection issue?
Anyone else played around with this and gotten it to work well?
Groove IP
I use Groove IP with GTalk.
I can only get acceptable sound quality on their end when using a bluetooth headset. For some reason when I use the built in mic the other side always complains about quality.
It certainly isn't as good as using my laptop from the same chair on the same network with the same headset. Laptop is crystal clear and no complaints, on the Samsung it is 'ok' with minor complaints.

Ok so it's not just me then. Other end always complains of an echo for me, and if I adjust it to fix that then you either can't hear the other end or they can't hear you.
I'll have to give the bluetooth thing a try, that sucks but does make some sense. I do wonder why it's an issue though, skype works in phone mode brilliantly from my SGP with no echo and great call quality. Might have something to do with google voice's codecs.
I've tried GrooveIp and Talkatone and both have the delay. I've read a couple of places that this is due to the method Google voice uses to connect - kind of a patch between two systems or call forwarding if you will. I also thought maybe my router wasn't fast enough so I just bought the top rated (www.smallnetbuilder.com) router - Asus RT-N56U. We'll see if it helps but I kinda think the delay is due to how Google is routing the calls.
I tried Skype but the sound comes out my speakers instead of the ear speaker. @exodus454 - did you get yours to work and if so how? Or are you using ear phones /headset / bluetooth with it? I find Skype software to be crap on pretty much every phone I've tried it on - Windows phone and Android.
I also just saw that Vonage has came out with an Android App but I don't know if it will work on the YP-G70.
