I have been using the original Tab 7inch as a mobile office since it came out. It runs my trading programs and phone quality is great enough for business. Can the ATT Tab 3 (7 or 8 in) make phone calls? It appears some international versions can but the ATT model does not have a phone icon. Not sure if just adding a dialer is the solution or if hardware is missing.

I use an app called "Spare Phone" to use the tablet as a phone. It requires you also have Google Voice .
I use earbuds for the calls.

Thanks Unreasnbl. That appears to be a voip solution but I am looking for native cellular voice calls. I guess I'll stick with my first gen tab for the time being.
Thanks again
Was this project never undertaken? I am also looking for a way to make phone calls that will not count towards my data (i.e., I want to use my own phone number), but so far I only see the old GTab information. Can anyone point in the right direction? I have used hangouts dialer to make calls, but it is only showing up as private, and I cannot receive calls (when they call my number it goes to voicemail immediately).
I've got unlocked Note 10+ and I flashed the U firmware because of video calling that's missing on U1. Now I found that on T Mobile version there is no Smart Call and it is replaced by T Mobile NameID, which I consider inferior and I'd have to pay for full functionality.
Anybody knows if there is any way how to get the stock Samsung dialer with Smart Call back? I'd hate to flash the U1 ROM and go through the restore process again. Even with Samsung cloud, Google and SD backups it took me almost half day to get it set as I had it before.

My past experience with Samsung Smart Call, was that i found that even though, its baked into Samsung Firmware, it is Service Provider depended. to "activate /work".
I might be wrong, but i personally believe so, based on my experience.
Just to recap, my experiences with my old Note 8 and my Note 9 (both devices not rooted)
I also flashed Stock Samsung firmware .. different CSC onto these devices.
I found on both occasions i lost the function of th Smart Call.
( Hiya services), also Volte function etc etc.
I could see the Smart Call settings in firmware, but it was greyed out.
Could not enable it at all.
When i flashed my old Samsung Firmware (Service Provider CSC) Smart Call (Hiya services), was enabled again and working.
I'm sure in your case, you'll will find it's Service Provider depended.
Good luck.

The thing is, after I purchased and set up the phone on stock Samsung firmware, VoLTE and Smart Call worked perfectly fine. But stupid me wanted to try the video calling. I found that the video calling is not different than Google Duo and I will NEVER use RTT texts. I see no real advantage from using T Mo firmware in comparison with stock Samsung (provisioned for T Mo of course)
Actually quite the opposite. For me, the signal strength and battery life is practically the same on both and again, FOR ME Smart Call is much more useful than video call and RTT.
If anyone knows any benefits from keeping T Mo firmware over stock, please enlighten me. I really don't want to go through the flashing the whole thing and restoring dance again, but I'm afraid I will have to.

Ha, your post reminds me,
that when i flashed
my branded Samsung Firmware ( Voda CSC) with the Samsung unbranded Firmware,
The reason, was also to get video calling working.
As my branded device did not have video calling option on dialer.
I could only activate video, if someone else, video called me... only then the video option, would appear.!
I then afterwards, realized that i lost my Smart Call functions. and flashed back to the branded software.
This was on my Note 9.
So i had no video call option on dialer ,but Smart Call.
Now...
again, with my branded( Voda CSC) Note 10 +,
i see that my device has video calling on dial pad.....!
So, the Service Providers, chop and changed.
A year back, they disabled video calling option, from dial pad.
Now video calling is back on the dial pad plus Smart Calls is working fine.
Good luck
So.... I bit the bullet and flashed back the U1 firmware. The only thing I lost is the video calling. I still have RTT button on my dialer. Whether it works or not I haven't tried yet. I know it wasn't there on the original dialer when I purchased the phone. Maybe because I didn't flash USERDATA? Who knows.
I'm happy I've got Smart Call back.
CSC N975U
Good afternoon, I have the n975u model, my question is what firmware should I install, to get the smart call and video calls by duo?. Or is csc the one that has these functions active?
Thanks!!
excuse my english, google translator.
I have a Verizon Note10+ running Android 11 (3.1) I paid my cell off 4 mo ago. Verizon confirmed for me that my cell is carrier unlocked. I've tried everything to get the Smart Call app on my phone to work. The only thing I haven't tried is rooting it cause I don't know how. I have 3 versions of the apk and can't make them work. Can anyone help?
I had the option when using my unlocked Note 10+ to call and text from my Tab S6. However when moving to the Galaxy FOLD, I no longer see that option available under the advanced features in the settings menu. lNot sure if it matters, but I have the AT&T FOLD variant. Any ideas?

AT&T adds (lots of stuff) and takes stuff out. Samsung call and messaging continuity competes with NumberSync which is why it's not on AT&T's Fold. Neither is Hiya's caller ID or spam protection. I have an AT&T Fold and the first thing I did was flash the unlocked Samsung U1 s/w on it. It's not that hard and there's a thread on it in this forum with the files to download.
Hi all,
TL;DR: can I port the original Samsung dialer (with call recording) to a custom ROM?
Long version: Ok so... I'm completely depressed because I've been trying to upgrade my now well overused S9 for a while, but I just CANNOT find a good replacement which has all my requirements and works properly in Canada. After trying out a few phones (and returning them all) I went back to my S9. But... I want to go the ROM route since the stock one is arguably dated. However, I have the dialer with call recording enable and I'd like to keep it on say, LineageOS. Reason being it can record calls while on Wifi Calling, which I am regularly, as opposed to other call recorders.
So... any advice for me? I'm spending too much time on this...
Mostly for built in call recording.
I had a S22/U1, I like the formfactor but it has no recording, so then I got a S22/E (snapdragon, india) version which works in the USA on verizon but sometimes signal just drops, and sometimes texts don't go through among other issues (recording is flawless).
I was looking into it and apparently the 'best' solution for S22 with recording (that works in USA) is to somehow get a rooted S22/U1 (USA version) and with root access you can manually edit the CSC file to turn on recording. But the challenge is getting a rooted U1, which can only be done with a paid service like sam PWND (as far as I know) and they are on pause now anyways....
So then I was thinking if all it takes is editing CSC then can I instead somehow load some files to my S22/E and make it have access to /U1 features (so calls don't drop etc.), and then take advantage of the root (which /E has with unlocked bootloader) to subsequently edit the CSC and turn recording back on?
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts? I read that the modem is the same so in principle this can work?
