Haven't seen much mentioned re: the mic

Has anyone tested it and the quality, curious about things like Skype, or voice apps etc?

As far as I heard Skype won't recognize the mic yet.
I have tested...
I have used it with b&n childrens books.
I have used it also with voice notes in jorte works good.
I have made samples just using the recorder app and works good.
I have made voice notes in Note Everything Pro. and it works good.
I have not done any comparisons to other recording apps.

I'm rooted and can't get voice search to work, can't even find it in the app market. How did you get it to work?

I downloaded it on my Android phone, backed it up, and then uploaded it to dropbox, and finally downloaded and installed it from dropbox on my Nook Tablet.

Best Text Messaging App?

Using Google Voice for text messaging. Have noticed that there are several others available and wondering which is better? Whatsapp, Voxer, Viber, etc.
Any thoughts?

Honestly, the best one would probably just be Google Voice (as your probably used too, considering you use it). I've had absolutely no problems with it, and the texting online from your computer feature is also a huge plus! It seems to be the best of all the other ones I've tried.
I've been using textplus but have been really disappointed with it. It works but it's slow and clunky.
Im using textfree its better than the others go to 4shared.com and look for the apk and install it it actually gives you a number based on your zip code

Google Voice gives you a number based on your area code as well. I find TextFree only good on iOS, the Android version is quite slow.

Try bobsled calling from the play store
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Does bobsled allow you to make free phone calls over wifi/ data? I checked it on playstore and web but it doesn't say much about calling, it's more about texts (which people are complaining that it's not free) ?

Viber? I use it for calling a lot
Plus it's absolutely free.

Well, I don't know what that means, but...
GrooVe IP + Google Voice
If you already have a GV number, then just install GrooVe IP. If GrooVe IP hasn't fixed the "keep WiFi on" issue yet, then you can solve that with Advanced Wifi Lock. I also use Llama to manage WiFi, because the battery will drain very fast if you keep WiFi on.
Thanks to all and especially MechMan! I got groove IP happening! Would love to stay n chat but I gotta go dig into all my new settings

Google search voice

This may not seem like a big deal but is there any way to change the voice I get from Google's voice search? I can't stand the way the female American voice sounds and I used to have the English one which I preferred but it disappeared on UltimaROM.
Any help?

Texting on the tab

I know I've seen it before but I can't remember where, but I am looking for an app that can send and receive text messages via Bluetooth or WiFi I don't really want to use Google voice due to the voicemail portion always sucking. The ones I've found on the play store always seem to have tons of bad reviews. Thanks.

I use MightyText and it works really well. I can send and receive text and picture messages immediately. Some other ones I tried take really long before I can send a message, but this one is quick!
Mighty text is great

AT&T had an app called AT&T messages for the tablet. It allows you to access all your messages and when you send a text it shows up as coming from your phone.

Never used mighty text, but tablet talk has worked great for me in the past.

I just set this up using DeskSMS / TabletSMS. The text messages send via my phone (and are also visible on my PC via a Chrome plug-in). I am very happy with it.
Of course it requires the phone to have an active data connection as well as the tablet, so that might not be what you are looking for.
Is there way to use tablet talk without the headset? Talk through the tablets microphone and hear through the speakers?
