So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone
Try...
Tablet Talk
Routes calls and texts.

it routes the audio as well?
edit: My bad... that's the app I have.. lol I dont know why I thought it was Tablet Text. I dont see a way to route the audio though. It just activates the call on the phone
Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though

can anyone else connect their HP touchpad to their phone via Bluetooth I have an evo 3d and neither of them find each other
I have an Epic 4G running SFR 1.2 and I can't get either device to find the other. It doesn't matter what setting I have type of device I have the touchpad look for.
Anyone else have luck hooking their phone up to their touchpad running android?
Bump - anyone had any luck? Can't get my TP to see my SGS2 or vice-versa.

I've got an... just check the sig.... anyways I was able to get the TP and the Inspire to pair but thats it, no calls, no texts. I didn't spend to much time on it cause the Inspire is actually recognized as a Desire HD (cause of the ROM) and thats on the list of not working. Good luck!
If you have Preware downloaded, Download an app called freeTether. This app allows you to make the TouchPad visible via bluetooth. Then on your phone find the TouchPad and pair it. Then accept the the link on the Touchpad and your good to go.
PS- you can also get the text messaging to work on the Touchpad with most Android phones if you use this method. You just need to make sure you allow messages to be sent via bluetooth in your phone. It should be in settings under bluetooth advance or something like that!

Texting works on my Desire HD. I get an issue with calls but I have yet to really dig in to it to try and get it working. It triggers the phone dialer but then drops saying the device doesn't support audio. Will post again if I get phone audio working.
Worked here, thanks.
Same issue with calls, it initiates it and then gives up. Texting works fine, and it appears to be receiving files from my SGS2 although I can't see where it's saving them. (EDIT: It saves them into the /tmp folder)
Now. Any way to get the TouchPad to access the WiFi connection of the SGS2 via either USB or Bluetooth somehow? (My SGS2 connects to the office Enterprise network, the TouchPad won't despite several hours of hackery to try and get it going ).

It does NOT make the touchpad visible......
Just flashed MIUI-2.1.13 after having experimented with UnNamed. As per topic title, I'm using the latest SiyahKernel. Aside from the custom kernel and flashing MIUI, I haven't customized anything. I don't really know much of anything about modems at this point, so I haven't bothered to mess with them yet.
Since I just flashed, I'm downloading my apps through the web-based marketplace. Normally I'd use MyBackup Pro or some other backup/restore app, but sometimes the apps won't work when I install them that way; they will repeatedly force close. I'm downloading and installing from my computer to my phone because I live in a 2g area, and the Market app will always timeout, so I can't use it.
I can receive calls normally when I'm not downloading an app, but if I am, my phone will neither ring, nor show any evidence that someone tried to call me. I can make calls, but not receive them.
Once I get all my apps back on my phone, this won't be much of an issue as I won't be downloading a bunch of apps at once. For now, however, I would hate to miss a phone call because I'm putting some apps on my phone. And since it takes forever over EDGE (no, I don't have wifi in my room), it creates a pretty big window of time where I can't receive calls.
I searched and didn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure what to do. Rebooting hasn't helped anything either, so that's out.
Edge can't do voice and data at the same time. So that's your issue there.

Yup... remember all of those commercials with ATT boasting that you can call and surf the web on its 3g? (using two separate signals, one for data, one for calls)
Ah. Guess that explains that then. Thanks.
I just got my new EVO LTE and still have my old EVO 4G. I've been doing some searching around for a good app to use on my old EVO in order to turn it into a security cam for at the house. Everything I've come across will only let you use it as such if your on the same network, I'd like to be able to access it away from the house. Also wouldn't mind being able to have it turn on only when I access it. Anybody have any good idea or thoughts? I've tried phido, ip webcam, droidcam, nothing allows me to use it away from the house.

Not sure exactly how much video u want, or if you want it realtime, but Cerberus anti theft can take a minute or 2 of video and email it to u.
You might be able to use tasker also to help trigger the events, (like auto answer of video calls).

This.
If you have a router, just forward a port and hit your home pc from where ever to monitor the cell phone.
Anyone else use this? I just found it and its awesome. Once you download the app and open the site in your desktop browser, your phone automatically forwards your messages to your desktop, and then back through when you send one back. Its almost like iMessage for android

Let me know how you like it!
I've been using it for a couple months now. It's pretty fantastic, and I haven't noticed any significant battery drain due to it.

I've been using it for a few months as well and absolutely love it...both to text from my computer and my Nexus 7.
Due to the security of my work network, if my phone is on wifi, texts are received but will not ever send. So long as I leave wifi off, it works like a champ. Just FYI in case anyone else runs into a problem.
i've used this for a few months. its very handy during class so i don't have to be on my phone.
Decided to try it after reading this...
Works great. I like seeing the phone's battery % on my tablet, and the notifications come through on my tab before the alert sound is even finished on my phone.
what the its not compatible with the galaxy tab 2.....
FC' :/
Every now and again my phone won't make phone calls. When I hit call it pops up "call not sent" and goes back to the previous screen. I thought maybe out had something to do with WiFi calling but even if I turn off the Wi-Fi I have to restart the phone to make a call.
I have the same problem , requires a reboot to fix as well...

Have you tried updating profile then prl?
Settings>System updates
Maybe after those go to "Activate device".
Been there done that ... It doesn't happen often , only 3-4 times since I have owned the phone.

I'd love to figure this out soon. I only really have small gripes with this phone other than this.
Same issue, fairly rare. Thought maybe it was bluetooth related. But then it did it another time where I don't remember being connected. It is annoying when it does happen though.
Same thing happens on the M8 when we got the update with wifi calling and its enabled. Since i left it disabled i havn't seen it again. I think it is caused by wifi calling.
Try rebooting the phone.
I had the same problem, cant make calls or receive them, what worked for me was go into settings>network>mobile networks>network mode>prefered network WCDMA only
dont know if i have a faulty device or maybe it depends on the connection of my carrier...
Wifi calling is my vote.
