[Q] Nexus 7 2013 with LTE and 4G

I have got the Nexus 7 2013 with LTE. I have inserted a SIM with full support for voice calls and SMS etc. However there is no default dialer application on the Nexus 7 and there is no link to dial or send SMS from the "Contacts" application.
I have read a bit and it seems that the problem is that the stock operating system and default configuration that is installed on this tablet does not see it as a "phone".
Is there a way to use this tablet as a phone with full support for phone dialer and SMS and is there a way to do this in the least invasive way so that I can return it to the shop if it does not work ?
Thanks

It seems there is a whole other thread discussing this issue.

Question...Are you rooted with the bootloader unlocked or are you just running stock? Then we can go from there,,, I got your back man! lol

No, this is standard Nexus 7 2013 LTE from the shop. I have done NOTHING to it so far.
I have installed a few "dialer" and "SMS" applications, but there is no way I can make a voice call or send an SMS. When these applications try to make a voice call there is an error message "voice calling not supported" or "voice calling not allowed" or something similar.
There is another thread here in these forums where a few guys have tried make it dial but no luck so far.

You need a room installed with a native dialer built-in. I'm sure there are other ways but this is the easiest. I have Cm 11 4.4.2 rom installed on my nexus 7 lte and I'm able to make phone calls.
First off, do you want your tablet rooted? It's the only way I know of to allow you to make calls. If so, there's an easy way to unlock your bootloader, root, and install a recovery. But you must do this first in order for it to make calls. You can install dialers all day long but they won't do a damn thing if you're not running the correct software. Again, I'm sure there are other ways but this one is about as easy as it gets and I know it works.
Have you ever rooted a device before? If not, it's not that hard but you must follow the steps carefully. Just let me know what you wanna do and we'll go from there. I don't wanna spend the time explaining everything if you're not interested! Lol..

Are you saying that you have got the Nexus 7 2013 model to make ordinary voice calls? yes I am very , very interested.
So far I have tinkered with my other Android phone, I have "flushed" a new ROM on it, there is a Windows application that connects to the phone and then you can format it and then download a new ROM to it. The trickiest part was to get the USB device drivers to work right, Windows is a bit tempermental.
Given proper instructions I think I will be able to flush some other ROM onto the Nexus 7, if such a ROM already exists.
But first I would like to know that we are talking about the same thing: Nexus 7, 2013 model, with LTE. And we are talking about making and receiving normal phonecalls and SMS, using a phone's SIM - for example when someone dials my number it should ring and be able to answer the call on the NExus, like on an ordinary phone. I am *NOT* talking about making voice calls over the internet, like Viber or Skype or anything.
Edit: It seems you already said you have the Nexus 7 LTE - I presume this means Nexus 7 2013 LTE, the newest model.
I am looking forward to instructions on how to do this and be able to use my Nexus as an oversized phone!

Unfortunately not. The quick summary is that out of the box the Nexus 7 2013 LTE does not have a "messaging" application or a "dialer" application, so you cannot send SMSs and you cannot make phonecalls. You can however receive SMS messages, they flash on your screen and all you can do is acknoweldge them, but there is no history, nothing.
If you download and install CM 11 or better they have enabled SMS so you have the default android SMS application and you can send and receive standard SMS messages. I was unable however to send MMS.
You can also enable SMS by doing some other tricks, modifying some framework configuration files. In both cases you need to mess with the bootloader, the recovery and so on.
The main point however is that there is no possibility so far for making or receiving phone calls. Therefore the ability to send/receive SMS is vastly irrelevant : who in their right mind sacrifices a working SIM into the Nexus just for SMS messaging? Until I can make and receice phone calls, my SIM will stay in my phone!

thx for your fast answer. im interested in buying the nexus 2013 but not sure wether the wifi or lte version. Too bad you cant phone with it

Actually I would steer clear. There are thousands of posts in various forums about the defective screen. I am 99% convinced it is bad hardware design and not random bad tablets. There are two huge issues:
1) I believe ALL the tablets have grounding issues so that the screen does not register touches properly, ie it misses touches, or it "clicks" in a different place to where you clicked etc. This happens when the tablet is not connected to the USB and when it is resting on a surface. For example this morning I was in bed and had the tablet next to me and tried to reply to a post, and I realised I had to press on each letter two or three times before it would register, it was because of this problem. This is not a "once in a thousand" miss-click issue, this is guaranteed to happen unless the tablet is held in your hands, in which case you are the "earth", or it is plugged in!
2) From Amazon reviews it seems the screen matrix is very fragile and very susceptible to tiny cracks, almost invinsible, however when it happens the screen then stops registering touches and you must replace it. It has happened to many people who claim they have not dropped it and have not mis-handled it in any way.
So I am returning mine today and will wait for a quality product like a Samsung to come to the market. In the meantime the Samsung Note 3 is smaller at 5.6", but it does have the HD resolution 1920x1080 and it is a phone!!! and it does not suffer silly quality issues like this.

Hi,
I understood from your post that's possible to make GSM calls from Nexus 7 2013 LTE. If so, could you tell me the exact version of CM 11? I'm asking this because I can't make calls from my CM 11 4.4.4 snapshoot version.
Thanks for your time, Sasho.

Firstly making a phone call needs hardware support. They provided the SIM slot so that you could use the LTE / 4G / 3G / 2G data plan and not for making calls. (This is because the entire development team did not like using WiFi :cyclops: and thus used a second SIM card for data usage )
Anyways, now no matter which software you install, there will not be any voice calling (except Skype / Viber) for sure!
Such a waste!

It's actually not quite that clear cut. Most 3G/4G (LTE) tablets have all of the hardware required to make it happen today. There have even been reports of some folks getting SMS working on certain tablets, and at least on Verizon, it's known that they block SMS/MMS and voice on tablets specifically. There just isn't that much difference between a Samsung Galaxy Tab and a Mega, for instance, except that the Tab is considered a tablet and the Mega a phone. The N7 uses a different chipset, but that chipset is also used in phones...
When VoLTE finally becomes a thing, this will get a lot more interesting. While tablets technically have the hardware to place calls and texts now, once we get VoLTE support, it's going to be a lot more obvious that it's a carrier issue.

nexus7 sms app
Hi,
I was able to make an app that can send SMS from stock android on Nexus tablets that have a SIM (still can't receive though).
No luck with GSM/USSD yet though.
I'm not able to post the Play Store link, but you can find it if you search for "Nexus7 SMS"

Yea iknow about it but i want to use the Samsung VVM app. So i im trying to get into on how to make it happen ?

MetroPCS used to charge 5 bucks for that, is it free now? Possible all you need to do would be call them and have them push out a cfg file.
EDIT: I just realized that it's not showing on my phone. All I had to do was call Consumer Cellular and they enabled it on my phone. I was told that they enable it by customer request because many customers like myself just swap sims without calling in and they don't know if the customers phone supports it.

After doing some research it looks like the visual voicemail on the S9 has major problems. Many people are talking about this on the Samsung Forums. I downloaded the AT&T app and it works well though. I get a pop-up when a voicemail is available and it works seamlessly.

it's possible but about the cfg. i know thats the case with the iphone.
But to correcty you on the SIM, they marry sim to the IMEI so you have to call in order to swap.

You may have to call to swap on MetroPCS but I don't. I called and got it enabled but like all those folks in Samsung Forums, it's not available in my dialer but the AT&T app works perfectly.

I called metro and just told them it wasn't working. VVM. they didn't fix and actually after 10 minutes of being on hold the customer rep hung up on me
I used nova launcher to look at someone of the hidden/dormant apps and such so i know it exists. maybe this is something that would take some grunt work to unlock on our devices lol

I guess I'm lucky the app works because that is my only option. Apparently if you purchas an unlocked phone to bypass some of the carrier junk you also don't get some of the carrier features. Samsung has this to say about unlocked phones and visual voicemail in particular.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support.
We understand that you want to know why Visual Voicemail is not available in the phone. We will provide you with available information.
We are unable to speculate which model phone you are referring to.
If you are referring to latest Samsung US model unlocked version phones, the Visual Voicemail option will not available in the unlocked phones.
If carrier provides Visual Voicemail services for unlocked phones you can use them in the unlocked version phone.
As you are referring to AT&T carrier you cannot use the Visual Voicemail service in the phone as the AT&T will not provide Visual Voicemail for unlocked phones.
Carriers like Sprint and T-Mobile provide Visual Voicemail for the unlocked phones.
We cannot include Visual Voicemail feature in the phone.

It possibly should for you. Actually I'm glad I'm not forced to use Samsung's dialer. I like the Google dialer much better and since AT&T isn't going to let me have VV on the default dialer, I can use the AT&T app along with the dialer I like.

I can confirm that my regular Sim is also not getting it as well. I know RCS is supposed to be available on TMobile either now or soon, so I just can't wait until it's fully implemented. I'm sick of iMessage being the only decent first party messaging service ??

No RCS on pixel phones with T mobile. TMO only supports Samsung devices and I believe one LG phone.

Very few US carriers support Universal RCS and it's usually just a few devices if it is available. The carriers publicly state their support of Universal RCS, but clearly there is little to no motivation to switch. Right now texting uses the carrier's propriety technology and they don't want to give up that control. I doubt Universal RCS will ever reach the masses even though it is clearly a better user experience.

In a timely development, it's being reported that Google will be taking control of rsc rollout by giving uses a choice to opt into a Google service. Not in the US to start, but we will see where it goes.

Is VoLTE possible

I have a Singapore variant of the tab S4 it makes and receives calls just fine over 3G but wont make them over LTE is VoLTE even possible on this? I travel the country and have ran into a few instances where I have LTE coverage but not 3G

It looks bad
Samsung has disabled VoLTE in every tablet that supports it, tab s3, s4, s6 and s7. It won't comment on this. I suggest contacting Samsung and asking for an update to address this issue. I understand there is a complex hack to accomplish this, but it involves editing a binary file.

If Samsung won't do it, maybe the carrier firmware can enable VoLTE?
AT&T says its Tab S4 variant will continue to work after their 3G shutdown.
Tab S4 (SM-T837A) is listed in their compatible devices:
https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf
Maybe this means VoLTE is enabled for calling? Or they might mean it will keep working but only for data LTE.

There is no carrier tab s4 that will work for calls, and I don't think sms either! The carriers have a system in which you can have data/talk/text on a samsung Tab 3,4,5,6,7,8 if you also have a samsung phone.
Samsung also has a setting you can enable to make calls on your tablet if you also have a phone, if both devices are logged into your Samsung account. No security flaw there! Not sure if the phone must be Samsung too, but it would seem so!
I'm not going to say what I think about a manufacturer going out of its way to reverse a setting, intentionally crippling its flagship products, so customers need to purchase more stuff to obtain the expected functionality!
I did write to the CEO of Samsung Electronics, Co., Ltd.. I asked for a firmware update to enable VoLTE in the Tab S series beginning with the S3.
Earlier Tab S don't have compatible hardware. If you clear your browser data, so no one can tell you're a hacker, and google 'Samsung investor relations', you can find his name and address.
I'm not going to dox him here. But if anyone wants to write him, please be very civil, clean, upright, and simply ask for an update, followed by, "I only ask for Samsung to live up to its reputation! I think my request is more than reasonable! Thank you for taking your valuable time to read my message. Best Regards, name"
Don't use spinglish--words and phrases that mean one thing implied to mean something else. And example in reverse is when Dell dubbed one of its laptops exploding into flames, 'a thermal event'!
Just be direct, brief, polite and honest.

Samsung chat says:
Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Care. I’m D-- ....

‎8:36 PM When do you think the update will be?
‎8:37 PM Profile SEA Digital Messaging We don't have the exact information. Hope it will update will release in couple of weeks.
‎8:38 PM This is due to the 3G shutdown? That will work then, with the update I'll be able to download a phone app from the app store?
Thank you
‎8:38 PM Profile SEA Digital Messaging It is not about the 3G shutdown, the feature is not available on the tablet. Carrier have not permitted to use this feature on Samsung tablet. You can use caling feature on third party applications like WhatsApp ETC.

So maybe it'll be soon I'm hoping to use VoLTE for my tablet soon. Otherwise Singapore firmware might allow VoLTE calls currently? Why is that? I can't download or install or side-load any phone app currently.
edit update: I flashed to t-mobile using odin and that lets me send and receive texts just fine using messenger app. I use tello so I can place outbound calls over wifi too, so I can just use google voice for any other phone call inbound. I've heard other versions outside usa might be able to place calls though?? Suppose we'll get an update here soon anyway hopefully.

There will be convoluted ways to get data/talk/text on the Tab S models without adding VoLTE compatibility.

Like calling on other devices, if both a phone and tablet are logged in to your Samsung account, you can use your tablet for Data/talk/txt, because it's actually using the phone.

Question [HELP] Call Screening Setup Issues

I'm having issues getting past the "Download a language update to finish setting up Call Screen", been trying for the last 48 hours.
Clicking it returns "The update isn't ready yet, wait a few minutes and try again"
Phone: Pixel 6 Pro
Google Phone Version: 72.0.406921769-publicbeta-pixel2021
Service provider: EE
Country: UK
The odd part is, using the Public Beta version on my Pixel 5, I set up Call Screening without any issue, downloaded, followed prompts and done.
I've had a look at a few threads referencing Call Screening and I've checked the following...
GBoard Language: English (UK)
System Language: English (UK)
Google Assistant Language: English (UK)
Google Account Language: English (UK)
I've tried deleting cache and storage for the Phone app multiple times yet still fails with the above error.
I've tried doing it on WiFi and on 4G, end result is the same.
Any ideas I'd appreciate...

is there a public beta on the Pixel 6 Pro? Where is that from?

Just enrol into the Beta via Play Store and that's the version you get. (On Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro)
Default version is 72.0.406921769-pixel2021
Public Beta version is 72.0.406921769-publicbeta-pixel2021
I don't think there's any difference between these two versions, it's just that I was enrolled into the Beta on my Pixel 5 and it carried across.

Thanks - i was on Beta on Pixel 5. assumed it would have rolled that over .... assume nothing

My issue is still open for anyone new to the thread. Hoping someone can help.

Have the same issue on Pixel 6 Pro in Ireland. Pixel 2XL worked fine before moving to 6.

I don't even see the option for Call Screening - Pixel 6 Pro, UK, ID Mobile.

Forgive my ignorance, but is this related to the automatic call screening or just manual call screening - or all of the above? According to this article Google rolls out Call Screen to seven more countries — but there's a catch:
Google Pixel owners in more countries can now filter out robocalls, albeit manually.

@OP, sorry for small OT, but can you tell me if you can see the Caller ID (company name showing instead of number) when you are on 5G/4G? This is not working on the Pro 6 for me if I'm not of WiFi. It's like the phone cuts off any Internet access when it has call incoming...

Haven't tested it yet since I keep resetting Settings in an attempt to get Call Screening working.

I spoke to Google tech support yesterday, they kept claiming this is still not available outside US, Canada and Japan...

I suspect its a slow roll out.
I still not got it working.

Manual screen calling is working fine with my phone, central Europe. So the rep is definitely clueless. But all Level 1 reps are clueless, you could also say useless, but don't do that, that's rude.

I fairness, this also applies to 90% of the users

I spoke to them and confirmed it was and they told me what to troubleshoot and if it didn't work then to wait 48 hours.

Works fine for me in the UK but I has to set all my languages to English UK and then clear cache and storage on contacts then reboot and it worked after that.

Call Screen option has been updated recently to this now. The 'Voice' option appears but still fails to download the language pack when I click it.
When I receive a call the "Call Screen" option appears but clicking it doesn't do much, doesn't transcribe what they say and the Accept/Decline call buttons don't work at all.
Does anyone have any idea on how to complete the setup so the feature works correctly?

I am experiencing exactly the same problem as you... did you find a solution for this?

As of a few days ago it was magically configured.
My suggestion to you would be not to reset the app/cache, be in the beta and just leave it.
After 1 to 2 weeks it should configure. It takes time... I don't know why, but it took me a while.
