Video Call

Quick question, can anybody tell me how to use video call, i been trying over and over, but it never works, please help......thanx

are you in the US? If so, no US network supports video calls.
i'm gonna assume you installed a custom rom or which has a dialer from a european rom that has the video call button. Again, its not supported in the US so sadly you cant do it

AT&T's network supports video calling. You have to add it to your monthly plan however, and it's pretty expensive: 35 cents per minute. And you have to be in a UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ area to use it.
T-Mobile's network does not support video calling.

well thanx for the speedy reply

[Q] 3g video calls on desire hd

How to make 3g video calls like regular 2g calls. other than voip softwares (which uses internet to make calls) is there any app or other dialers which enables the video calling option directly from regular dialer screen. I use htc original firmware not yet rooted.

lol if you need an app then it would be through Voip as long as my knowledge is involved...maybe someone else knows if it's possible...also did you try googling? lol

Can u suggest one to make 3g calls that service provider has given

you realize there is no front camera so the video call wouldnt work very well lol. Ya you need to use something like skype. it wasn't built into any of the software because of the desire/inspire not having a face camera, the demand isnt there.

but, where as viber has an option to make 2g calls over network if user doesnt have viber installed in his handset viber will ask us can we make calls using regular dialer mode. is there any thing of that sort for 3g.

[Q] SMS/Phone support on LTE version?

I've heard the original 3G Nexus 7 could send/recieve texts so I was thinking about replacing my nexus 4 with my 6 because I don't make many phone calls these days - just need a device for texting, browsing, and reading.
Could someone with the LTE version try installing the sms/dialer app and see if they work?
Thanks!

WELL. If you wana get fancy, you can use a voip app if you wana make calls. Google voice will let you send text over wifi/data. It just doesn't do mms messages.

the cheapest data plans here are also more or less the same as the equivalent data only plans - especially with promotions/loyalty

kinda wanted to skip the also-own-a-phone part

So, my plan is to purchase the lte version of this tablet on Verizon. Then use Google Voice to make calls and receive texts(replacing my SGN2 on occasion). Does anybody have any idea how much monthly data I should purchase(I will also be streaming music, browsing the web and social networks regularly).
And if anyone knows the rough amount of data used to make a voice call(to another phone) using Google Voice, I would love to know!
Thanks!

From google/nexus/7
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Europe:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
So more than just 4G. Although I'm not sure where the no texts/calls on 4G comes from. If you could provide source I'd love to see it.
Unless you meant the Nexus 7 4G is Internet only and no text/calls:
If the cell chips are the same as the Nexus 4/Optimus G I'd love to see someone enable the calling features on the N7 2013. Although as We've seen with the N7 2012 that might be a difficult task.
HERE's HOPING!

You know - it's really frustrating when someone answers a question with what I'm sure to the person writing it seems to be a relevant and helpful comment - but has completely missed the point of the original question.
For example: the question here is essentially: The old Nexus could send texts/SMS - could someone install the dialer/message app on the new model with LTE and test this. A related question is 'can you use the cell model to do voice calls?'
In both cases, it should be clear that a part of the question is implied: 'in the same way you can do with a regular cellphone'. In fact, the guy actually SAYS this.
The actual correct answer is: no one has a Nexus 7 2013 LTE yet, so we just don't know.
"You can use application X to do VoiP" isn't actually a valid unless you start with "no - you can't do voice calls using the 3G or LTE radios, but..." because the question isn't 'is there ANY way to make a regular phone call on a tablet that doesn't support voice calls'.
Similarly "You can use application Y to do something kind of like texting/SMS" isn't a valid answer unless it can actually text or SMS to a phone that doesn't run a special app, or receive a text/SMS from a phone that's not running that app.
Or.. "Can you attach a USB Stick to the Nexus 7 2013 using an OTA USB cable?" It's safe to assume the user means 'without completely rearranging, rooting or flashing the Nexus'. So the actual answer is "no, no you can't." You could THEN follow up with "But if you're willing to..." Not everyone wants to put custom roms on their system or root it... so that's not an 'obvious' answer and it's really annoying when someone says 'yes! you can!' and then moves onto a page of instructions on how to modify your stock device to install all sorts of unknown and potentially dangerous software to get this one feature to work.
Oh and before someone says it - because someone will - yes, XDA is targeted to developers and experimenters - but XDA has become a trusted place for people to come and look for help even when they're not developers and experimenters. You can generally tell who these people are because they ask questions like 'can you use your Nexus 7 2013 LTE as a phone?' The regulars here already know that you can't use the 2012 model for that - and that the odds are low that the 2013 will let you do it either and so wouldn't be asking that question.
So at least try to make the answers match the audience or perhaps hold off answering until it makes more sense?

I called my phone number from my friend's iPhone and my mobile number was ringing when listening to the iPhone ... but nothing was happening on the nexus 7 LTE.
I tried to do this to get a dialler "install QuickShortcutMaker and make a shortcut to it. Search "phone" in the app. It should be the first result, under contacts."
But cannot find a dialler

I'm thinking of selling my n4 and buy a N7.
If that works I'm in
If not I'm gonna buy a Wi-Fi N7 either..

I tried again using quickshortcutmaker ... the following shortcuts are possible when searching for 'dial':
Heading = Mobile Data .com.android.phone
Mobile Data - Emergency Dialer .com.android.phone/com.android.phone.EmergencyDialer
Mobile Data = Fixed Dialing Numbers .com.android.phone/com/android.phone.FdnSetting
Mobile Data = EcmExitDialog .com etc etc
Emergency Dialer - did permit me to try a local call
Fixed Dialing Numbers - had a few options = disable FDN, change PIN2, FDN list

Mine isn't working either and I'm in a live VOLTE market and it's worked on other devices.

Mine works fine

Mine works some days and doesn't work some days. It's annoying.

Is it possible the other person does not have volte? I remember only able to use that when i was calling other T-Mobile users.

Correct! In order for volte to work BOTH phones must be enabled, and in a volte market.

Ditto. Read some papers on how VoLTE works and called up T-Mo to confirm, they said because of how the connections between the phones are established, both phones must have LTE and live in a VoLTE market. VoLTE actually uses a higher quality coded than HSPA+ if I recall so the other person has to have the ability to receive and decode properly.

Before i did factory reset,i could not get volte, but now i have volte( they show hd in contacts) after factory resetting the phone. Two things i hate about this phone are battery life and chrome browser lagging. And now i just found out a new issue is touch screen sensitivity. It is less responsive than my old galaxy s4.

Has this been recently changed? I had an Xperia z3 and any time i was on lte, my calls were routed volte. I'm 100% positive this is the case, my mother has an M8 without volte, my Xperia still used volte when calling her.

It's not new. Are you sure you had VoLTE? The basic requirement of VoLTE requires both users to have support of this.

Positive, it was only "HD" if i called another volte device, but it was always used on my end. Dead give away was that m phone stayed connected to lte while in a call, if i turned off volte in settings it would drop down to hspa while in call. Also, there are areas around me that seem to only have edge and lte, no hspa. In these areas it would drop to edge when making a call with volte disabled, with volte enabled it stayed on lte.

HD voice is when both devices are connected to at least HSPA when you are connected to TMO's network as far as I'm aware. There are some old articles that you may find if you do a google search, since HD voice is still a rather new concept to TMO.

I know, its a little odd, when volte was not enabled it would display the hd icon whenever i called another hd voice enabled phone. However, when i had volte on, it would only display it when calling another volte device. I know my phone was always using volte though because it would stay connected to lte while in a call with it enabled.

So if you're in a Band 12-only area, and VoLTE is literally the only way for you to make a voice call, you can only call other VoLTE-enabled devices? I find that a bit hard to believe.

No native video calling in asus zenfone 5z

I just bought this phone and i got to know dat it doesnt support native video calling from dialer.
you have to use any 3rd party app

I hope ASUS enables it in the future update., currently I don't see any option.

Native video calling is sometimes dependent on the service provider, on my LG v20 using Jio SIM I get Video call option, using Vodafone I do not get that option
