I want to completely disable my facinate from being able to make phone calls. I am wondering if I remove the dialer .apk if that would do the job.
I am going to give my facinate to my child to use for games and Music player... but want to ensure that she cant make any calls, text etc...
Wifi for internet is ok...
Thanks for any help !
Just deactivate it.

Deactivating it will ensure that calls won't be made but 911 will still work and that could get expensive.

Delete DialerTabActivity.apk
Airplane mode?
This doesnt actually fix the problem of having a child smart enough to re-enable or make 911 calls.
Deleting the DialerActivityTab is the solution. I can always add it back if needed...
Thanks!

I currently flashed the Team Whiskey Bionix-V flash (Froyo) and have some issues with it, well more so with Froyo apparently. Firstly, I'd REALLY like to disable geotagging. Disabling GPS and Wireless networks does not disable geotagging, anybody have an app to do this when taking a picture? Also, does anybody know of an app that will fix it so that the Call log history will allow me to toggle between ALL calls and SMS? I can do missed calls, received calls and dialed calls, but not _all_ calls and it's driving me nuts. D:
As for ur second request what I do is contacts >history > menu. It allows you to choose what to see.

Is there app or a way to be able to use google voice to make calls while in airplane mode? I get a cant make calls in airplane mode. So the phone is holding me back google voice looks like it wants to in background but pop up windows stops it.
My idea is i want to be able to when in low signal area with good wifi like work or home, be able to switch to airplane mode, forward calls to google voice, and be able to call out if needed like normal.

Airplane mode turns off all of the phones radios, which includes the mobile network. No data or voice can be sent/received.

Google Voice does not currently support voip. Gizmo5 is the native, legacy voip support vendor, purchased by Google, that you could have used until earlier this year. We are all waiting for Google to announce services to replace Gizmo... There is definitely something big in the works. In the interim, you can subscribe with an alternate Sip vendor (callcentric) who will change your caller ID for your outbound calls if you ask them to over the phone. I am not up to speed with which sip client works best on android and would imaagine google will eventually release their own.

yea mean over wifi only, when you hit airplane mode, all turns off, but you can turn wifi on in airplane mode. or maybe even if there is a turn cell radio off mode. and i can use forwarding app to google voice.

Wifi or mobile internet for signalling and visual voice mail. cellular for calling.

Skype now works with Atrix at 4.1.83 (Android 2.2.2) and above. You can configure your Skype accont with Outbound Caller ID to match your cell or Google Voice account. Inbound calling is another thing of course.
Does anyone know of any apps that allow you to send texts from your phone through your tab other than SyncSMS. Sync is great and all but the interface is terrible and I'd like to have the ability to only sync sometimes. Additionally if it could also receive phone calls that'd be awesome.

TabletTalk ,(I use this one myself, work great) it will also have a popup telling you who's calling when your phone ring. Just can't make calls using your phone's number. I use GrooveP to call back.

I am on the Saurom 7/7.1 on my ATT Galaxy Note I717 and whenever I turn WiFi on the 4GT cuts out (at least the icon disappears from the status bar). Is it possible to have both on simultaneously? Is this only on Saurom or is it normal for any GB ROM? And, is there a fix?
I was unable to find anything in search relating to the GNote on this subject though I did see one post for a Galaxy sII but on Tmobile and there was no fix.
Why would you want to waste battery on 4G when you're connected to wifi?
It'll turn on when needed, i.e. picture messages, visual voicemail. Like the other guy said, why would you want both and run your data up?

What I'm Concerned About is..
I'm a fireman and I receive text message alerts via SMS and/or I need to call Fire HQ in order to let them know that I am responding. So if I'm on WiFi, can I still do the following even though I don't see the 4G in the status bar:
1. Get SMS text messages
2. Make phone calls
3. Receive phone calls
:facepalm: ...
Sigh

As long as you have bars of signal and not a circle with a slash you're good to go. 4g is strictly data type stuff, like picture messaging, downloading visual voicemail and googling stuffs on the inner webs. Signal bars software whether or not you'll get texts and phone calls

Any time you enable wifi it will disable 3g or 4g it overides the system to save provider data,since using wifi dosent use your data plan...wifi is also the fastest data I believe over anything,as I understood from many techs but but quote me I could be wrong...though it is fast...
3g,4g,lte,hspa wifi. However you would like to call it. Is for DATA transfer (interent)... Voip is kinda like phone calls in laymens terms...You could technically disable data and wifi and still get phone calls.. hope it helps a little bit

Sometimes when I receive a call, I'll answer it and it will play the person's recording of their name and say "press 1 to accept or 2 to..." What's going on? Never had this happen on any other phone... I'm completely stock. Thanks.
Do you use Google Voice? That sounds like your calls might be going through GV. Just a thought.

I didn't think of that... But... I only use it for voicemail and it has never happened in my other phones. I don't use google voice for calls.
Hmm. Well maybe when you set up voicemail, somehow it also set to have your calls go through GV? I might would double check the settings just to make sure. I know one time I had a similar issue and checked the settings and saw it was set that way. I don't know why... as I didn't purposely set it that way... so I apparently did something on accident.
