Actually, Google added voice dialing via BT since Android 2.2. I think the issue is that Android 3.0-3.2 (HC) was made for tablets only and all tablets, besides the non-US Samsung 7.0, 7.0+, and 7.7, don't have voice calling so they may have left out that feature from HC. It might be yet another thing we need to wait for ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] clubtech:
No it is Samsung who for some reason ommiting this feature side the OG galaxy tab which was running 2.2 and 2.3.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] scarytas:
Hmmm...Just had this response from Samsung support here in Australia.

The galaxy s2 has voice dialling option:when you touble tap on home key, and turn on driving mode , voice dialing option turns on autometically. The bluetooth version for Galaxy S2 is v3.0+HS and for the tablet (Gt-p6800) is v3.0 with A2DP.

If you would like to purchase any bluetooth headset please visit samsungmobilefulfillment.com

Now, to try and find a Bluetooth headset with v3.0 with A2DP. That should be fun :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maconsultant:
So the HM5000 is bluetooth 3.0 and the 7.7 is bluetooth 3.0.. Although im not sure if the HM5000 supports A2DP although it is a mono device..

Call Mynah

If this thing it had an lcd screen to see who is calling it would be the best accesory. But for now my Call Mynah is the best! Call recording and big screen and keys... and it is really small with great battery life.

To shame samsung didnt put an lcd there :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Justin^Tan:
concluding that we cannot make calls on this thing unless voice dial actually works, which i can reproduce using bluetooth headset on the original galaxy tab, can i ask if this thing vibrate or anything to let you know if there's a phone call coming?

sorry if i miss this on just a few page :D

I'm thinking of getting this for my original GT. is it compatible? since probably most of you who bought tab 7.7 came from the original GT owner ^^

The future is getting closer:

Perhaps this stylus/headset and the MeMic will not be restricted to only Asus devices.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] speedofheat:
I bought the HM5000 today from a local Samsung store. It works very well with both the 7.7 and the BB Bold 9900. The audio quality is clean.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] RipplingHurst:
I bought the HM5000 too. It works great but the range is kind of limited. When I'm around the house I have to find a more powerful BT device to connect to maybe my phone line? I mean, if the 7.7 is in the kitchen it won't connect in the living room, or in the hall, not to mention upstairs.

But otherwise the connection is great. I have also connected the 7.7 to the car's BT, and it connects to the car without issues, and will reconnect to the HM5000 too when I leave the car.

However, I can't seem to reject a call from the HM5000. According to the manual I've downloaded, you'd have to press and hold the call button, but that's only turning off the headset...any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] jkrell:
What app are you guys using to make calls?

I'm confused, what app are you guys using to make and receive calls? GrooVe IP?

I've got Google Voice installed, as well as GrooVe IP. I'm just not sure what app is being used on the video in this thread. I want to do this, if not with the HM5000 then with something.

The thing I'm not thrilled about with this thing is holding it up to my ear. The whole point of Bluetooth -- at least for me -- is handsfree, whether via speaker (in the car) or on-ear (when working or walking about).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] burhanistan:
Standard Touchwiz dialer app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] jkrell:
Is that available in Europe only or something? I'm in the US and I do not have a native dialer app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Paten:
If you have the Verizon 7.7 tab, it probably doesn't have a dialer as Verizon only sells it with a data plan. If you have an International tab, it should have a dialer.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] TeeeJaay:
i believe you have the wi-fi only version, check your model no.

GT-P6800 = 3G + WiFi

GT-P6810 = WiFi only
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] jkrell:
Yep, I've got the Verizon 4G version.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] burhanistan:
That version doesn't havet the forward facing phone speaker nor any dialer apps. So, yeah, if you want to make voice calls you'll need an app like Groove IP that will use your Google voice.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
US carriers generally don't like devices that do everything all in one. That's why for tablet devices which, around the rest of the world, can make a normal phone call (without having to do anything special, or use 3rd party apps), when those "same" tablets make it here to the US of A, it's a gimped version of the device which has been stripped of its normal phone calling abilities. That's why some of us (myself included) import from overseas, while giving carriers the middle finger in the process.

So, why are carriers over here opposed to a tablet that can make regular phone calls? Simple: money.

If you have a tablet which double's as your phone, then you only have to pay for one line subscription. But if your tablet has had its phone calling abilities stripped away, then you're forced to carry a phone with you. Now, either you're now forced to pay for a line subscription to BOTH your phone AND your tablet, or you're forced to pay for the one line subscription to your phone, plus an additional fee to tether your tablet up to the phone. Not to mention, you've had to buy two devices instead of one.

Either way, you're forced into a particular buying behaviour, by being offered strategically limited choices, and the carrier profits more from it.

So, screw the carrier's profits, buy unlocked overseas, drop your 2-year slave contract, and port your number to an unlimited everything pay-as-you-go plan for about $50/month instead! (GoPhone and Straight Talk are both ideal options for unlocked GSM devices for 3G compatibility)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] adinis78:
A quick correction Jade, the GoPhone $50 unlimited plan does not work on smart phones, actually the data part of this plan won't work, should know, you will still need to get a separate data plan. Right now the best option is to go with Straight Talk for those that do not want a ATT contract. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] RipplingHurst:
I think Go Phones are also speed limited to 1Kbps, while with 3G they could go to 4-5kpbs (at least my iPhone used to get that easily).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I know of several people in the Note forum using GoPhone unlimited with no issues, and they're getting pretty much the same kinds of speeds as regular contract folks. Just FYI.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] adinis78:
Really? Wondering why I was not able to use it when I got it, but pretty happy with Straight Talk so far.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] brehon1104:
this is what is baffling me about this post. why would you choose this stick thing over an eared headset? namely the HM7000. its now only $60 and supposedly the best headset on the market.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Personal preference really. For me, it boils down to this:

On my 7.7, 99% of the time, I am not using it to make or receive phone calls (or any smartphone for that matter lol!). So, I see it as somewhat impractical to wear an over-the-ear headset for that whole time, not to mention my ear gets kinda sore after a while anyway.

With the slim stick, it's always on (even while charging), always in my shirt pocket, or discretely tucked away under my shirt collar, and it's always ready to go without fatiguing my ear.

To put it another way, if you think about just a regular phone, it's always ready to take a call by simply holding it up to your ear. Technically, so too is the P6800, but it looks ridiculous holding a tablet up to your face to take a call, even if it's for just long enough to tell your caller "Hang on a second while I put on my Bluetooth headset..." Not the case with the slim stick. Like I mentioned, it's always on and ready to go. Of course, you can just have a headset always on and ready to go too, but either it's on your ear (which fatigues me after a while) or, due to it's shape and size, it's getting all caught on stuff in your pockets and such and just feels awkward to carry.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] brehon1104:
I see. i ordered the HM7000. waiting on it to get here. it has a really neat carrying case that doubles as an extra battery (charges the headset while in the case). I strongly considered the stick though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] jonathanacohen:
I just got the HM5000 in the mail from Ebay...with a Korean user guide :(

Can anyone provide a link to an English PDF? Thanks very much in advance!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Paten:
I went to the Samsung US website and they don't have the item listed there. I then went to the Korean site and they had the manual available for download but only in Korean. I then went to the Taiwan site and they had it there and the manual was available in English in the back of the manual behind two Chinese language versions. I then went to the German site and they had four different versions of the manual with English available as the first language in the manual. So go there and pick one of those.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
You should start an HM7000 thread when you get it! Would be nice to see how it is ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Here ya go!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] jonathanacohen:
Thank you very much, both of you! :) Got it and now can figure it out...

Intermittent Disconnects

Has anyone experience random disconnect issues with their HM5000? I've been having intermittent bluetooth drops where the call would go back on the tab and reconnect after a second sometimes up to several seconds. Tried other bluetooth devices and it only happens on the slimstick. The odd part is, it works perfectly when paired to my Sensation 4g. Any input/help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] XDSaint:
I think I might have figure it out. I re-paired it using active paring instead of manually letting the tab scan for the hm5000 and now it doesn't lose connection anymore. The funny thing is when I was trouble-shooting last night I thought it was the case that has a magnetic flap causing interference lol. Well, hopefully this is the end of this problem, on to getting doubletwist to sync to the sd card next.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
too bad they don't make these anymore:

That's an LG HBM700, as you can see - LCD screen for caller ID, BUTTONS to dial with, and even a 2.5 port to connect a headset to. They just need to make an updated version of that w/ the newer BT 3.0.

This type of product came up in 2010 when a bunch of us were getting the original Galaxy Tabs and trying to figure out this use case of a mini-handset to take/make calls w/ a larger tablet.

Here's a link to the original XDA thread:

Also found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Bluet..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334871163&sr=1-1

Ultimately, I may just try a Sony LiveView watch to track incoming calls and just use the audio w/ my LG Tone headset.

Looks right to me. I ordered one on ebay, waiting for it to arrive (also waiting for my Tab to be fixed/replaced under warranty).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] vegaman:
The HM5000 I ordered on ebay has arrived and looks legit. Shipping took about 8 days.

I really like it and it's a great addition to the 7.7 if you're using it as a phone. I quite like the vibrating feature too, and didn't actually realise it had that before I ordered.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Does the earpiece on yours have the metal grate with lots of tiny holes like in the photo, or is plastic with three slats?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] vegaman:
It's plastic with 3 slats. How about yours?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] dotvoid:
Hey, my hm5000 wont keep up the connection. The LED still flashes but it just says paired in preferences and not connected :-(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Yeah same here. Was kinda hoping for the metal, but I suppose that was a pre-production thing...

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I get that with mine as well. I think it's some kind of power save feature. I find that it still responds even when the phone rings, or when you press the call button.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] dotvoid:
Unfortunately I need it to vibrate. Is there any way?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
It should vibrate out of the box by default. If it doesn't, there's a way to enable/disable the vibrate function explained in the user manual, which you can find here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] dotvoid:
Yes it does vibrate but only if it says connected in the preferences. When it just says paired it doesnt :-\
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] vegaman:
Yeah, power saving could be right. I noticed mine doing it when I hadn't charged it for a while. I charged it sunday night and so far it's stayed 'connected' though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] acidlung:
I'm wondering if this device can be used somewhat hands-free. Has anybody tried using the HM5000 in their shirt pocket and having a conversation? Is the mic sensitive enough for that sort of use?

i also have one but when i pair it, it shows the a different name all the functionality is gone. can someone enlighten me? is it possible to reprogram it? how?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] skrallanuk:
The problem Iam having with normal hands free head sets are that I cannot have it in my ear all day, in case somebody calls, and at work I have my work hands free plugged into my ear all day, and my tab sits on my desk with the hands free next to it. When I leave work i throw the tab and the head set in my hand bag, and later find out my tab has been dialing my mum constantly, bashing around in my bag and pressing the redial button.

I could consider this pen in case it is easy to keep in my jeans pocket or throw in my bag so that I would not be constantly make these dummy calls. So has anyone had any experience of this? Is the button on the pen located/shaped so that this would not happen if i e.g. keep it in my jeans pocket?

Mine has arrived this morning from Hong Kong. Everything seems fine but I want voice activation dialing to work.

I am unable to reflect the experience of this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a8UDIjCRIQ

Mistakes are made, wrong number and so on, but the reviewer gets info and feedback from the Pen so there is an effort being made on the part of the Pen to achieve the result. However the reviewer is using a Nokia N8 (whatever that might be:laugh:) and that may well be significant.

Also in this video the same reviewer says that he couldn't get it to work with a Samsung Galaxy Tab

All went ok and the phone works fine now apart from the camera - which crashes every time I open it. Same result with any app, one app said it couldn't connect to the camera and then closed, so I guess I've done something to it.

All looks ok, no loose connections, but camera still fails. Any ideas?

I'll open her up again for another check, just hope I can fix it. Mightily annoying having no camera.

[HTC Sensation] e4e5nf3nc6:
Also check to see that no wires get crimped or smashed down when you put everything back together. I replaced a friend's iPhone digitizer and had something pretty similar happen. The connection was there but stuff wasn't working right. Took it apart and saw wires were sort of smashed so was more careful the next time. No wires were damaged or anything and after doing it again everything worked perfectly and still does.
[HTC Sensation] trstn:
Good tip thanks, will try that tonight.
[HTC Sensation] newbroman:
Hi all, can confirm the same problem, on the same phone, and the same sort of solution, thanks to your suggestions.

It came down to the black lock block on the ribbon connector being askew. Very fiddly to put back but now the camera works....Hmmm better check the front camera now.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Hi,

I have been flashing new firmwares quite a few times, using both Odin and CWM. I have a few questions regarding what actually happened to the filesystem when we flash the rom. Maybe some knowledgeable people here can help answer these:

1) When using Odin to flash the rom, I assume that when using .pit, the filesystem will be reformatted, especially if the partition size got changed, am I correct?

2) what about when we flash the rom using Odin without using .pit. Is the filesystem wiped clean first (or formatted), then new files added? or some old files will be left lingering?

3) what about using CWM, flashing ROM that has "NoWipe"? This I assume, as it was called, no wipe happens, just files being replaced and added, and old files may get left behind

4) what about using CWM, flashing ROM that is "Wipe"? This formats the filesystem, then add new files into it, so no lingering old files?

5) can overcome GB-Stock-Safe-V5 be flashed from CWM, say over overcome 4.1 rom that already have the same .pit. Will it revert the filesystem to rfs? I know I will lose CWM if this can be done.

6) if CWM can't do it, do you think Mobile Odin likely can do it?

I'm currently running CM7(from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390773) and tried a few video apps (fresh build of VLC, MoboPlayer, Rock Player). Hardware acceleration does not seem to work. I get errors saying "format is not supported with the system player"... and they switch back to software decoding which works, for low-bitrate files.

A couple of 720p show I had (all around 3mbps) would slutter or unsync after a few seconds. I haven't really dug to find out why it's doing that (x264 file?).

Anyone else could help here?

I have not been able to find anything that will work unless it's an x264 encoded MP4 stored on locally on the KF. It's easy enough to re-encode .mkv using Handbreak, it's just time consuming and kind of a pain due to the amount of local storage. I use Emit to stream over WiFi either at home or anywhere I have a WiFi connection and it works pretty well. It does have issues time to time with 1080p but 720p for the most part is perfectly fine.
