use g pad as a phone? - LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers

Is it possible to make and receive calls ?i tried installing google dialer but it does not work?

Maybe with root we can? I dunno if the hardware will allow it.

GSM Voice and Data capabilities are disabled in the radio firmware. Teh device may not even have an amplifier for GSM. Even with root we wont be able to change that unless someone knows a lot about Qualcomm radio stuff and can add/modify the proper settings in QXDM/QPST . This is VERY unlikely.

Fongo works, so does csipsimple with a sip voip account.
I expect Google Hangouts will be fine too.

Same **** as the Nexus 7. What a scummy move.

Surely works but only on wifi (won't work on 4G LTE). Tried using it with my Ooma mobile app to place & receive calls without any technical issues.

I know it's not the answer to the question but, Hangouts works fine on LTE.

What about SMS?
I tried using Pad X to receive SMSs from my bank. I inserted a SIM card into it, installed Google Messenger SMS app and tried to get any SMS. I didn't see any notifications, but when I opened the Google Messenger once, I briefly saw the SMS appear in the program, but it disappeared quickly and again I saw an empty list of messages. Do you know if there is some service in this firmware that deletes any incoming SMS?

SMS works

Phone App

While looking through the Astro file manager app, I came across the "Show process" feature under the Told menu. The first process to my surprise was a Phone app. Opening the app, it allows you to add SIP accounts for IP calling. I don't have a SIP account, but maybe it's time to figure out if there is a generic Internet service. I know T-Mobile has wi-fi calling, but I don't think those servers are publicly available.
Still not sure if there is a dialer or if your dependent on the app... If lucky it could be associated with contacts.
Not sure if this is going to differ much from a Skype number... If direct dial through contacts is possible, that would be interesting.
Sorry if this has been covered. I've been away and this was an interesting revelation to me.
Sounds interesting. I am still looking for a possibility to do phone calls with the device. Everything I tried using dialers or apk's from different devices failed. Is there actually a radio rom inside the flyer?
I didn't have the 3G version but is it not possible to receive and send SMS? Therefore you need also the phone api. And selfs if not so for I know handle this app also the data connections for a 3G connection.

Yes because we have also WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS,... but maybe it is possible one day to make calls. The Quesition is here if the Flyer have the hardware and not the software.
This was definitely interesting. So far I've been able to get the device to make and receive phone calls using Sipgate as my SIP provider, Sipdroid as the SIP client, and Google Voice as a forwarder. So it's definitely possible to use the Flyer as a phone using third-party software.
When I try using the same setup with this native phone app, however, the Flyer just instantly gets a "missed" call" notification. There's also no way to make any outgoing calls yet using this native app as far as I know. Anybody else have any luck?
I played with this for an hour or so with some public SIP gateways, but didn't have much luck. The contacts app doesn't seem to link directly with the phone app so a dialer app would still be required.
The best integration (with contacts) is GrooveIP which was suggested onthe forum earlier.
i have the rom
i have the rom
PHONE APP is possible according to this thread !!! ( I saw the video it really works)
But you need a S-OFF Flyer ofcourse

This can be done for free on Webos , How to pair(almost) any phone with TouchPad to send and recv SMS/Calls!!! Like Pre3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290274. i have done this myself and it works perfectly.
Also if you install SMS Backup+ on your phone you can link to any Gmail A/C and Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone.

Hope this is of use.
yes i know that this can be done in webos, i did it there and i was exited to find a way to do it in cm9 too cause its sooo cool feature not only about sms but for handling calls too. So now i have another reason to get anxious for microphone fix
anyway its an easy and unique app that i was looking from the first time a got my tp so i thought to share it.

[Q] Cant send/receive texts thru stock, only can with Google Voice

Hello everyone,
I am rooted and locked runinng MOF 2.3.5 ish v2.0.
Yesterday AM I started receiving an error (unable to send text) when trying to send texts through GO SMS. I also received the same error when using the stock messaging app. Then I discovered I was also not receiving texts. I can send and receive texts through Google Voice. I integrated my Google number with Sprint several months ago. I had made no changes to Google voice settings, or my text settings in several months. This just came out of the blue.
I tried restoring a backup from Titanium, that did not work. I tried de-linking Google voice from my phone and that did not work. I uninstalled GO SMS- still nothing. I have since re-linked Google voice to my Sprint # as it is the only way I have of receiving my messages.
Today I called Sprint. After a few tests with no luck, they instructed me to accept the OTA 2.3.5 update. They claim that one of the issues fixed in this OTA update was a fix of this "known issue with SMS". I told them I did not want to do that because it would perma lock my boot loader. They also suggested having them de-link Google Voice from my Sprint #. They said that if they de-linked Google Voice, I would not be able to re-link Google voice to my number later and that was a "known issue" with Google.
So, I have 3 options...
1) Keep it as is until upgrade time, but of course Google Voice does not have MMS support. And Google Voice leaves a lot to be desired with SMS threading and customization.
2) Take the OTA upgrade and "hope" it solves my texting issue, but of course that opens another can of worms with the bootloader.
3) Have them de-link Google Voice and hope that works. However, I enjoy having one number when I travel, etc. And if it doesn't work, according to them I wont be able to re-sync and then I will not have any access to my texts.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? I didnt see the exact issue in a Google search.
Thanks in advance
I also use Google voice to manage/backup my voicemails and texts remotely. I hate the google voice app. I only use it in it rare situations where I have no signal and no roaming available, but have wifi.
This has happened to me a couple times, I'll notice my gvoice has texts that my phone never received via SMS.
What is your preffered network set to? I've noticed my prefered network mode changes mysteriously on this phone. I'll just set it back normal and all my missed sms come flooding in.

Thanks for the reply. I normally set to automatic. I just checked and it was changed to any cmda. I will play with the options and see if that helps. Thanks again.
type in *#*#4636#*#* on the phone dialer

Hello, it was on CDMA Auto (prl). What do you generally set yours on for domestic use?
Your answer got me thinking. Saturday afternoon I removed a sim card from another country because I was here in the us and didn't need it. So when I got home I put the sim card back in and switched network to automatic and then all my texts arrived. Thanks again :thumbup:

[Q] "Message not sent" only on SMS

I have recently purchased a new i605, rooted, unlocked, and installed TWRP through Casual. And flashed CM10.2-20130827-Nightly-i605. I finally received my SIM cutter in the mail today, and pulled the full size Straight Talk SIM out of my Skyrocket that I have been using with no issues for almost 2 years, cut the SIM, put it in the Note 2, and entered the APN settings. It is receiving good signal, showing the "H" and "H+" the majority of the time. I can make voice calls, receive voice calls, send/receive MMS, and have good data sending and receiving. My only issue is, I can only receive SMS, and when I try to send (or reply to one already received) I get the "Message not sent" error. I saw a possible fix, of updating your SMSC, but I have no clue how to find what my SMSC is in order to input it, and haven't been able to find it either. I tried editing the way the telephone numbers are stored from +1 250-250-2500, to (250)250-2500, +12502502500, +1 (250)250-2500. I also saw where someone found a fix for their situation, where they had accidentally set Google Voice to send text messages. I went into the settings on my Voice app, and that setting was turned on, so I turned it off. But I am still having the same results when trying to send an SMS.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I can find what my SMSC is, so that I can try that fix for the issue?
Did I post this in the appropriate subsection of the Verizon Note 2 forum?
I'm in the exact same situation you are. Send/receive calls, receive texts but can't send texts. I received a new note 2 through insurance two days ago and did the same process of rooting the phone, except I flashed jedix17 on it. So I'm guessing the problem lies in the roms? I haven't had time to switch roms to see if that fixes it though. I'd like to see if there's an easier alternate solution as well.
Ok, I got to playing with the "fixes" I had already attempted, for a second time. Google Voice was set to send SMS, and I would change the setting in Voice to make the messaging app send SMS. Well, I noticed that after closing Voice, then going back to the settings in Voice, it would be set to Google Voice sending SMS again. So I Force Closed the Voice app, and uninstalled it, and the issue cleared up. I have no idea why the app would be automatically changing it's own settings back, after closing it though.
I see. Then it seems you and I don't have the same root problem. I don't have an alternative texting app, so I guess I'm off to reflash my rom.

Did you figure out your issue? If you flashed Gapps, you may have Voice+. Check in your app drawer just to make sure.
Yeah I have fixed it Thanks for asking (and yeah I did check and I did not have voice). Reflashing the rom did indeed work

Voice call LTE tablet

Hey,
I am using an ATT Sim in the Verizon tablet. However I am not able send or receive messages/calls. Tried different dialers and message apps. Is there anything I need to enable for this?
Thanks in advance .
Your sim card has to be provisioned to tablet. I tried the same with an older tablet and couldnt get anything to work. You'll have to call att. I had tried all of the things you mentioned as well
I dropped my SIM into a T715 with Lineage 16 on it and both Google Message and Facebook Messenger worked fine with both SMS and MMS. Didn't try the phone aspect.
Tried same thing on Verizon 827 and it won't let me past "Do you want to change default SMS app."
