How do you transfer calls?

As it's quite needed for my line of work, I wanted to know if there was either a way to transfer calls with the stock Phone.apk, or if there was a more advanced one that's been developed which supports it. In the past I've had to, pardon the expression, host an embarrassing three-way, to work round it...

Does your carrier allow transfering calls? Weird, never heard of such thing being available to regular customers.

As a business customer, our network does allow transfers. Owners of the Galaxy S II in the company are able to transfer calls without a problem. However, Galaxy Nexus owners lack the luxury...

[Q] Miracast on gnex once we install 4.2

I am just making sure i understand things right.
Every device with wifi and android 4.2 will support miracast correct?
So once 4.2 drops we will be able to run miracast from our gnex phones correct?

I think it will. The Galaxy Nexus does support Wi-Fi Direct which is necessary for Miracast but we'll only know when the OTA update is released.

what does OTA have to do with it.
Once AOSP 4.2 drops we will have all sorts of roms to test with.

Wifi-Display™ by TI is necessary for Miracast, from what i remember.

I am bumping this since AOSP has dropped.

So i am running 4.2 now. I do not think this is working as everyone was hoping.

Are there even any Miracast hardware (hdmi dongles or something) available to the consumer that support Miracast? I dont know of any, yet.

Kind of.. That does say it's Miracast. I saw on G+ where Phil from AC was going to do a review on it, but he said not to buy it yet. And these Amazon reviews agree that it's a pass. The price point is right for sure. Too bad.

Any Miracast boxes/dongles that actually functions correctly I guess would have been a better question.

I have one in hand.
It does WiDi and miracast
You flip between which you want.
I cant get the win 8 tablet to connect to the widi and none of my android 4.2 devices have the miracast functional :/
Some of its the devices fault some not.
They are saying they will update the firmware to support win 8 by the end of the year or something. not sure when android miracast stuff will be working.
*EDIT*
this amazon review
"This device says it will work with Miracast, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and an Asus Nexus 7"
this isnt the fault of the PTV3000
even with android 4.2 it isnt enabled yet.

So back to the main question, does gnex with 4.2 have miracast function?

Oh well damn you know better than any of us, you must have started this thread before getting 4.2 or the ptv?. Anyways. Disappointing 4.2 Miracast feature doesn't work on the only box available with Miracast (to my knowledge).

I know that feel. They say allot of stuff they think we want to hear, maybe they PLAN on actually doing what they say, maybe they make it up 10 minutes before announcing it. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Android Update Alliance? Sure. Right. I'll hold by breathe for that one. [email protected]? The lightbulbs controlled by your phone.. I'm sure Google will be able to complete this task before seven companies on kick starter do right? That's pretty much every damn announcement from last years keynote, all just a big show that they never made good on, and never even mentioned again. Did they even release the accessory developers kit they were talking about that year? I never read anything else about it.
Oh well. Guess I'm sticking to DLNA and AirPlay.

Got the Android 4.2 factory image on my Galaxy Nexus (yakju JOP40C) and there's no Miracast option available.
I guess only the Nexus 4 is the only certified smartphone for it right now.

Hi.
Are there any news on this?
My Galaxy Nexus has Android 4.3. I just got access to a Miracast dongle (I work at an online retailer) and it doesn't work.
WiFi Direct connects to the dongle, but it lacks the Miracast support. There is no option to enable "Wireless Display".

This, plus the fact that I've seen multiple reviews now that suggest that the actual hardware is the same as the AT&T phone and therefore will not be able to connect to T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. Which I would think would be a total dealbreaker for any T-Mobile customer. Sucks I waited over a month for this phone and am now just considering buying the regular T-Mobile version and putting AOKP on it.
EDIT: The Anandtech review (which I should have read before posting) seems to invalidate my concern above. Sorry!
Now my biggest concern is that the phone doesn't come in black.

I was so close to giving google my money. But they chose white as the only color i could get? bah.
Also, judging by the review you posted, it seems i should be able to go out and get any US tmobile s4 and just transform it into a Google Edition. That is, once the rom drops and their are proper instructions. There are some things i don't understand, such as whether or not we'll be able to completely change the model number from SGH-M919 to GT-I9505G, but i'm sure someone will figure it out.

Must have missed this part where it says it works on LTE
Anyhow the layman's translation is that the SGS4 GPe and HTC One GPe work out of the box on AT&T and T-Mobile LTE. The SGS4 GPe will work on all of T-Mobile and AT&T HSPA+, HTC One GPe will work on all of AT&T HSPA+ but only Band 2 (1900 MHz) T-Mobile HSPA+. The HTC One GPe will not work on T-Mobile's Band 4 HSPA+, only its Band 4 LTE. If you're on Sprint or Verizon CDMA/LTE and care about having Nexus phones you're again on the wrong side of the fence and probably will be for the foreseeable future. I tested both T-Mobile and AT&T personal SIMs in both devices, and had no issues with them attaching flawlessly to LTE and HSPA+ on the respective networks.

Yawn.
It's all getting pushed where it belongs. Who needs new hardware?

So has anyone had hands on with this thing yet? Or seen a VERY in depth video of all features? I need that photosphere! Does the GPe have it?

Yes, but I haven't seen anyone get photosphere to work because the camera is different in the GS4. And since Samsung has it's own "photosphere" app coming, and these updates have to go through them first, I wonder if this feature has been left out.

Not true... The fact the Google Edition HTC One comes with Beats by default should tell you there will be some differences between these phones and the Nexus... Like, for instance... I like the fact that the updates go from Google to the OEM and then to the phone... That allows for the OEMs (Sammy and HTC) to add their own drivers (ESPECIALLY for the camera, my goodness can Google EVER throw a decent camera on their take of Android)
Is it VANILLA Android like it is on the Nexus 4? From the review, I KNOW it isn't. Imagine it more along the lines of a Cyanogenmod or a P.A. AOSP with tweaks.... You don't GET that on Vanilla Nexus... The fact it works like it should with the S-View cover (yes I have one) is a plus in my book. So, when I flash it whenever it comes out, I won't feel like I have no use for the cover I spent TOOOOOOO much money on..

But the google play page said it doesn't support AWS HSPA+. That's so weird.

The link kind of answered the question for you. Samsung is going to make it available for devs to include within their roms

This looks really interesting; I found this:
http://pocketnow.com/2014/11/13/new-s-pen
It seems that the advances spen and all its benefits already comes bundled with the new note 4. Now, I dont know if those benefits come from the pen or the sensor behind the sceen on the tablets, or both, so only someone with a note 4 and an older device, and maybe the new pen sdk, could really prove that we can enjoy the new features.

Note 7 help

Can i please get some advice? (sorry a bit long but thought i need to provide the background info).
I have been given a Samsung Note 7 as a compensation-related gift by my network operator Vodafone and to cut a very long story short i have almost exhausted all possibilities with Vodafone and Samsung to get it exchanged for a different model or a credit.
I am currently looking at the possibilities of keeping my Note 7 if i feel i can assess (and possibly repair) it privately to confirm the safety implications and any other issues that may come up.
My questions are as follows:
1. Has anyone had success changing the Imei and model number? The reason is to protect myself from network barring and to retain app support. I have a previous Note and can use the imei. My plan was to change the model to G935F that of an S7 Edge. (There are some sites i came across but I wasn’t sure the guides were tested)
2. Can i root it and will i be able to update it regularly from core android?
3. Will the Wifi-calling feature work? Sounds like a small thing but its quite important. I have this feature on my Note 7 already and activated on my account and its very useful to me.
I live in the UK and I am an Engineer by trade. I worked for a cellular phone repair centre a number of years ago that specialised with Samsung and Nokia phones.
Whilst i have some experience and contacts in the industry, my knowledge of the current software/ firmware platforms on the market is limited so i would greatly appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks in advance

not too sure about how you would transplant the hardcoded iemi number mate... are uk note 7s actually confirmed being banned?
You can root it and from that you can add features from the xposed library that will surely extend the life of your note 7 for years.. by which time the note 8 should be out in some form.

I read on maybe this site, or another, that someone had their Note 7 thinking it was the S7 yet still fully functioning as a Note 7 (Grace UI, etc)

Thanks for info. I'm not sure if they will fully inforce a ban but the procedure for returning the n7's is pretty much the same, minus the fire proof boxes (read into that what you like). I want to see what needs to be put in place if they do.
Any idiots guide for rooting and where to download files would be appreciated.

If you do that would be great.
I'm trying to stoke up some support in the uk to appeal to Samsung to at least reassess the n7's already out there but there's only a few interested. I believe there is more support in the US which may provide a much stronger case.

The official release date in the UK for the Note 7 was next week, October 28th, which ironically was the same date as the Note 2 release, Note Edge release and Galaxy View release, just different years.
Call me crazy, I recognize a pattern here.
I am a serious Note user, so instead of following the crowd I will either consider the LARGE 18.4" Galaxy View or the 6" Curved Screen Huawei Mate 9. Hmmm, Mate, Note?
For some strange reason there aren't many Samsung Stylus Devices available, can't find the Note Pro 12.2 on sale anywhere. Something is definitely up. All I know is I feel sorry for those Pixel, iPhone 7, V20 blinded sheeple.

Samsung can't help because I didn't buy it direct and Vodafone said it was giving to me as a gift and not linked to my account so I need to deal with Samsung. I know this sounds ludicrous but Vodafone are a nightmare and I was ready to book myself into rehab after the effects of previous issues.

The recall is voluntary. Do not believe those people who say your IMEI will be blocked or barred. It will only be blocked if the phone was purchased in a payment plan and You fail to return it. Or if You fail to keep the payments. The recall is absolutely VOLUNTARY. Do not be afraid. Many of us are keeping the phone, because we know the risk is now minimal.
All electronics have the possibility to fail. All batteries have the risk of catching fires. This risk is a lot greater when the device begins their lifecycle. So now the risk is minimal. Samsung did not take "probability" into consideration before sending those replacement phones. Meaning if you had 50 in 2 million to catch fire with the original. Now you had 50+30* of catching fire in the replacement. (*More o Less)
Samsung has a great opportunity to collect data and usage information with us. Otherwise if people panic they will just scrap the Note Series all together.
Good Luck! ?

In short: No you can't change your IMEI, but that is not needed. If you don't want Samsung to directly know that your device is a Note 7, you need to change your device name in build.prop (but to do this you need root) and to deactivate software updates.
But I recommend you to not use the device. Samsung may not release any software updates, and the risk of exploding is still there. Even if the risk is very small, it can happen at any time, and the more time you spend with this device, the bigger is the risk.

Although Samsung wont provide updates will I be able to semi - regularly update it manually from stock? Eg nougat 7 was originally in the pipeline for the n7.
Also would wifi - calling get carried over/ integrated in the build?

You only can update it manually if some rom developers port firmwares from other Samsung devices to the Note 7 (if Samsung doesn't release updates). But that mostly is only possible for the same Android version, so there might never be a Nougat rom for Note 7. So then the only possibility to get a newer Android version is to use a AOSP / CM(14) based rom, if a developer created one for the Note 7. But without proper drivers by Samsung, that's difficult. And I think, the most developers are going to use other devices instead of risking a burning N7.

I'm staying factory. I did not disable the 80% battery option because we ran a study and found overcharging to be 1 of 3 factors in starting fires. If Samsung sends the Nougat update, then I will just update. The customs ROMs I'm not a big fan of, because it seem one always looses some cool feature like heart monitor, Samsung Pay or scanner. I got a Note 3 that I plan to use as my flying phone and my Note 7 will be my daily driver

Unless they have a Sprint Note 7 60% otherwise you can bump up to 80% charge. I recommend you get advise from an Engineer rather than a Sales Rep
I no longer have the pictures but click:
1.- Settings
2.- Device Maintenance
3.- Battery Icon
4.- Advanced Settings Menu
5.- Disable the "Limit maximum charge to 60%" tab

I'm not from the UK however I did purchase the Singapore (Same as UK) version and I'm using it on ATT Mexico.
Please refer to the Voluntary recall at: http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/
As of today the recall is only mandatory in Germany. Note 7 is banned on all flights in the US and part of Mexico. The mandatory recall will take time as the Consumer Product Safety Commission has to run a full investigation on the matter

I just want to be clear about something. You guys are from the UK, yes?
Is the recall not the same as the US or elsewhere where the recall is mandatory and not voluntary?
