No. System was not designed to work as a phone. Maybe VoIP apps like Skype could work

The answer is simple: No!
The Archos 3G stick is a data modem without voice support.
The firmware inside this stick simply does not support these features.
There's no app that could fill this missing part...

Answer is simple: YES!
Set up your google account with google voice. make sure your assign yourself a phone number.
Install the following apps:
-Google Voice
-GrooveIP
Use GrooveIP as a dialer and Google Voice for texting and voicemail.
Congratulations, your tablet is now a fully functional smartphone

This is still VoIP solution, not a 'real' phone

best GPS app that doesn't require data connection?

I'm wondering if there is a good application for my droid that will use the GPS to get me around with a preloaded map database so that it doesn't rely on me having a data connection.
Edit: did some research, looks like osmand and mapdroyd are the best choices. Any user opinions on which is better and why?
Thanks,

Google maps works well for a *basic* map,newer versions can cache the map.
Thanks but I was looking for something that could do TBT navigation as well.

Are you using the Android Market app to try and download google maps? If so try accessing the android market from your phone's built in web browser instead. Download google maps from your browser onto your SD card and install it manually.

I think Copilot, also
Copilot works without any data connection right? Just like TomTom for iOS? And does anyone know where I can find a cracked version without having to pay 20.00 ? Thanks

Does ask others on a development forum to help you be dumb and disrespectful toward software developers. $20 is cheap.

[Q] Make a call or send a sms via external modem?

Hi there, I planning to buy a wifi-only 7" tablet, but the tablet support some external 3G/EVDO modem to connect to the internet. So, is there -by any chances- a way to make a call or send a sms via external modem?
I've seen this possible on "ipod to iphone conversion" with custom dialer and sms app...
App
I do not know ur tablet model do i do not know connections ect...
But if you look around there are some apps that let you send SMS's on your tablet that then sends it through the phone via the app on both devices
Look at TexTab, is is in google play/market, i have not tested it so i cannot guarantee it works/safe
Also you need to check then android market works with your tablet, the app is around £2 in UK
Most tablets cannot call or text by them self, only with a android phone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I helped Please Take the time 2 press on the thanks button under my post
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you have on play store app VIBER
u can send sms and make calls via WiFi for free
BUT only with your mates that have this app also installed

[Q] Samsung Link.apk working on Cyanogen Mod 10.1

Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

[Q] Urgent office solution? Tablet managing a phone

Hallo,
There is an office request and I know his iPad is incapable of
so I turned to my favorite forum for help
My boss needs a tablet that can control (view - accept - reject) calls and sms from his dual sim phone.
Is there any solution using an android tablet with his (nokia) phone?
Cat it work with a dual-sim android phone + android tablet?
The point is NOT to be distracted from the phone while working,
everything needs to be controlled by the tablet (phone held in pocket)
Thank you very much
it is important for me to find any solution available.
PS. I know there are dual-sim boxes to use with BT on tablet
but they require sim-cloning and turning off the mobile in order to work.
We need a seamless procedure, thus, using the phone as the call router.
no ideas?
The best android-related forum and no one bothered to reply?
nice.
You can check out Tablet Talk.
It's an app on the Play Store.
Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m_term=calls+and+texts+to+tablet+from+android
I found it just with a little Google searching.
Don't curse the forum.
Hit thanks if I helped.

[Q] How to open a support ticket to google?

Hi guys,
I have created a tiny app to automate my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) to do a simple task of my daily basics needs.
Basically it turns ON and OFF the bluetooth radio of my phone when I drive my car so it connects to the hands-free device of my car.
The application works great on my Android 4.3 device, however on Android 4.4 (KitKat) it doesn't work because it uses Google Play Services API for driving recognition and they (google) seemed to have changed the API on KitKat!
So my question is, can someone help me open a ticket to google to question about that changes on the API?
Google only allows tickets from anyone with one of Google Apps for Business, Education, Government, or Nonprofit accounts!
BTW: The app is named "bluetooth drive link" and is available at Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ferfig.bluetoothdrivelinkdemo
Anyone?!
