Any app with a Playbook-like function?

I'm looking for an app that I can put on both my thunderbolt and a100 tablet that will foreward my texts to my tablet (maybe through wifi or Bluetooth) and would be able to reply to them with my tablet, and when someone calls, I would see the caller I'd, but not necessarily be able to answer and calls on the tab. As I'm sure that technology is impossible to incorperate at present time.
ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

For the text I use textab between the tablet and my G2X. It works over bluetooth.
Sorry for Caller ID I have no idea.

GoogleVoice, my friend. Takes some setting up (and getting friends to switch over), but once you do, you'll never look back.

Google voice is cool but it only works with a WIFI connection. With my suggestions you can use your tablet with a bluetooth connection to your phone while away from a hot spot.

This is true, but my phone is my hot spot. I still have the unlimited data (and I hate that for alot of others since July) so I just use wifi tether from my rooted tbolt. Can't wait for my area to get 4g, haven't hard the pleasure of using it yet, seeing as I don't get out much
But I'm still loving this tablet though! Just wish alot more games were compatible with Android 3.2. Like Dead Space.

How to disable annoying notification beep while using mobile data

Hey guys apologies if this has been asked before just I couldn't find anything in a search.
I have a nexus with ics 4.0.2 and I have noticed it will make an annoying beep/notification noise while using mobile data (ie Google maps, browser etc). Its really annoying when I'm listening to music on the nexus and the track keeps cutting in and out for the beep/sound.
I have looked in all the settings and can't find anything which would disable the noise, though I don't know where to look exactly. I did have a mobile data cap in place but I have not used anywhere near what the warning or limit caps are. I have even removed caps entirely and it still does it.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Mind explain more on how to reproduce the beep,notification sound?

hard to describe haha. It has an ascending dual tone then a descending three tone like 'doo do... doo do dah'. Whatever it is its damn annoying!

That's not normal... is it random? Or when you make selections or choices in apps? And specific apps? Why do you think its tied to mobile data?
It has to be another app sending a notification...

Haha... Then can u make a video and post it on you tube? So that we can have a clearer picture..

As far as I know, I enabled that feature when I was going to Austria for two weeks, simply to make sure I didn't roam/use any data (because that would cost me a lot of money). however at the time I had a HTC stockrom. I don't own a galaxy nexus but I think the general features of android remain the same. So go check your roaming settings, maybe that will help?

You could have just disabled data rather than using that feature though, y'know?
Haven't ever come across a setting like this on the Galaxy Nexus. Just going through all the settings now and see nothing of the sort.

I know, but I had an internet-bundle for 25MB outside my country. So I had it on, but it was just nice to keep track of my phone and know when it was going online.

Phone with A101?

Hi all,
is there really no way to use the A101 as a phone? (with the SIM! - not Skype etc)
I'm wondering why other tablets (Odys, Galaxy Tab) are able to do so

You could use text+ from the market.I tried it before and worked pretty good to turn this to a phone tablet.but wwsnt sure how I would eventually need to start spending money.but tot turn it into a phone,try that app.
Sent from my A100 using XDA

don't know if you understand me
I need to make and take calls with the tablet - SMS and UMTS is working, but there's no way to make or take calls
I wasn't able to find a app called text+ / plus in the market

No. The A501/A101 doesn't have the hardware for making calls.

The closest you can get that I am aware of would be to use either Skype, or Google Voice GrooveIP combo which could be used over the access provided by the SIM and associated provider, however it would still be VOIP and not the type of phone you speak of, BUT it would allow you to send and receive normal phone calls from/to real phones/mobile phones. SO I don't see any reason to care. GrooveIP is like $6 and then the google voice number is free. don't knock it lol

I used text+.
It worked as a phone.
I understood,don't know if its still on the market,but it works as a phone for your tablet.its not like Skype.
It makes your tablet a phone,and it gives you a real phone number.

T mobile note 2 will not sms with Ford Sync

I had a Verizon note 2 and it would read text messages from my phone. I just changed to t mobile and I connected my phone to my car. I thought all would be fine since its the same type phone. I can't figure out why its not working. I have unsynced and resynced my phone several times. All of the times I have allowed my phone too map. Can someone please help.

Its tmo service which is causing the issue. They dont allow devices to access their network through phones.
I have an acura with acuralink, been researching for literally a year to get this stupid acura link to work and i cant figure it out. Another guy on the acura forums has a verizon phone he said it synced up without him trying to.

When I had the Verizon phone with hacked APN my SMS Sync read out worked. I changed phone because if I wasn't on wifi Google play, email, and some sites wouldn't work. Plus I didn't have a frequency that T Mobile uses.

My T-Mobile Note 2 is working fine with Ford MyTouch Sync... SMS messages come through just fine. Have you updated to the latest firmware for your car? Another thing to try is to power cycle the car... delete your phone from the car, delete Sync from the phone, power cycle the phone, and pull the car's battery cable for a minute.

It just didn't work. Everytime I got a text my phone would give the alert noise. It's like my phone would think that somebody had already read the text message. So when I picked the phone up I didn't even know that I had received a reply because I had the radio on and couldn't hear the phone. So its like the radio was trying to get the text but couldn't all the way. I would check and neither device would say I had a text. The phone would have the text but would say that I already read it. My Sync system wouldn't even receive it.
When I started the car up the other day I heard music but the display was all black. The first text I received after that it started alerting me and giving me the option to read them. So my issue fixed is self.
Ido believe that unplugging the battery may have fixed this issue. That is as long as the regular old school car battery was the one that powered this device. As my car is hybrid.

Had my Gear S3 paired to my Pixel XL for a couple days now. For the most part it works as advertised, a couple glitches so far.
Yesterday I dialed my wife from my phone and it passed the audio through my Gear S3, then I hung up and tried it again and this time it routed the call through my Pixel.
Today my alarm went off and only the phone notified me, then later on the day another alarm went off and this time the phone and watch notified me (which is what it's supposed to do).
Another glitch today was I received a couple emails, the watch made the notification sound but no vibration. Then the next few email notifications it notified me via sound and vibration (which is what I set it to do).
Don't know if it's a glitch with the Gear S3 but its only happened a couple times. Still LOVE THE WATCH.
Oh by the way if you get the Frontier, the bezel feels loose and it almost drove me crazy until I went to Best Buy to try out the demo they had and it felt the same.

Samsung pay actually works for me. It's weird cause everyone online says it doesn't I have 5 cards paired and have used it at sheets. I had no issues. Maybe the app was updated today as I just got mine today... But that was the one thing I hated to let go from my note 7 now I literally have the best of both worlds... This is thee best smart watch I've used right down to build quality.

Have you guys gotten text messages and responding to work or is that Svoice and Samsung messaging app only?

I've had both paired for over a month now (since the S3 came out) and love it. The biggest feature for me was Samsung Pay since the S3 has MST support. The Gear app updated about a week after having it which worried me because I thought it would work right out of the box. Even with the Pixel XL rooted, running a custom kernel, and an unlocked bootloader, Pay works fine. You just have to sign back into the Samsung Pay app through the Gear app after every few purchases (which can get annoying when you're trying to be cool.). Anyway, once you set up S-Voice you can send texts through it. I am using Textra and it works fine. I would imagine it would work with stock messenger as well. I can also use S-Voice to make calls through the stock dialer. Haven't used it for emails yet.
There have been a few things on the watch that have bothered me. If I turn off the call feature (because taking calls through the watch is most times inconvenient) then turning the ring doesn't work to answer or reject calls. It would be nice if you were to turn it and the phone would answer in speaker mode. Also, my watch always locks on me. I think with the factory strap the watch rides up too high on my wrist and a tattoo there messes with the sensors and the watch thinks i'm not wearing it. It's annoying to have enter my pin everytime I want to look at a notification. I'm am ordering another strap which I hope will hold the watch closer to my wrist and tighter to the skin which I hope will help.
Battery life has been great with me, but I don't have LTE, Wi-Fi, or the AOD on. Through regular use from 0700-2200, I put it on the charger and it has 87% life left on average.
At the end of the day, I love it. I just wish Samsung would ditch Tizen and go with Android Wear. I'm sure they could make Samsung Pay work with Wear.

The only issue I had was that Hangouts would not allow me to reply until I installed Android Wear. Counterintuitive I know, but it seems there are some parts in Android Wear that Hangouts needs to work with Samsung Gear.

Hi
Most annoying issue for me is when im trying to answer incoming call using phone call is passed via gear s3 anyway - all the time
Anybody has same issue? Any suggestions?

Samsung Pay wasn't working initially but around a month ago I updated the gear app and up it popped. No other issues to report as yet.

So when you answering phone call using phone call is passed via phone or via watch?

Will Android Pay work on the Gear S3? I know, it sounds counter intuitive to use AP instead of SP but I've ran into situations before that no matter what I did, I couldn't get SP to work on an NFC payment terminal. Honestly, it's still so hit and miss I'd only really feel like messing with mobile payments via NFC which for me goes back to Android Pay.

Is there still those problems available with the s3 or everything is gone cause am planning to get one if everything is fixed!

I'm considering buying one of these. I would sometimes want LTE capability, but would mostly want to turn it off to preserve battery. It sounds like you've got an advanced setup. Also, you mentioned being able to disable LTE. Is the option to disable LTE available to regular (non-advanced) folks like me?
Thanks in advance!

The device has a smart network function that disables the mobile radio while the Bluetooth connection is active. Then once you don't have a Bluetooth connection for like thirty seconds it enables it

In my first attempt at setting it up, it looked as though the "bluetooth only" model SM-R760 wasn't going to support text msgs with my Pixel XL. I reset the watch and did the setup again, and still no messaging app. Later discovered it DOES support text messaging with my Pixel, but only receive and respond. You cannot originate a message on the watch. A small compromise. It was confusing at first. But glad I don't have to pay more for a carrier supported model to have SMS on my Gear S3.
