[DEV] GSM phone calls on Nexus 7 3G

[Joshbone]

We are still waiting and looking for the good news. were you be able to get the phone.apk working on the nexus 2013.

And the N7 1?

 

[Synman]

Guys this is not a "can we please have an update" thread. It will be ready when it's ready.

Regarding the last question I have no idea what you are referring to.

All we are ever going to get for the original N7 is in my existing GwT ROM.

Current focus is on the new N7LTE and is slow. I have exposed MMS and the dialer but no voice capabilities exist given the OOB drivers. I am also having a hard time getting my provider to forward MMS bidirectionally.

As time permits I will continue to focus on it but my time is limited and spread across multiple projects.

Unfortunately I'm on the verge of throwing in the towel on my n7lte ever doing anything other than sip, SMS, and tethering on the att network.

They've got the entire razor imei block locked to their broadband apn.

I tried getting a rep to honor my full phone plan with the device and they simply can't honor my request... Their network won't let them provision the device any other way.

Sadly I'm considering dropping my Sim back into my tilapia tablet.

I've removed all framework restrictions to no avail.

Do you think this is limited to att or all SP?

It seems like the carriers play a big role in blocking gsm calls for you, have you had someone test it on a european network? They are often way more liberal and don't have many of the restrictions the US carriers have

 

[Synman]

I have some pretty fuggin good news... I finally figured out how to work around AT&Ts MMS lockdown... it appears to be much more so related to the retirement of cingular than anything specific to the N7 LTE.

First, proof of MMS functionality:

Next, what ended up being a very trivial change to the ATT Broadband APN entry:

And lastly I chose to pick back up with Kit Kat... am very happy with the state of this build and am now faced with the challenge of figuring out what to call this ROM once I get the apn's updated, hybrid mode applied, figure out what happened to deb's camera, and add my extended shutdown menu:

The Kit Kat phone app properly manages its settings menus so need to hack code to expose editing SIP providers.

And please don't ask... GSM voice is non-functional.... nor do I think I'll be able to crack it with software alone.

This is some excellent news Synman :good:

I still didn't get this part though :

And please don't ask... GSM voice is non-functional.... nor do I think I'll be able to crack it with software alone

Is it a confirmed hardware limitation ?

Maybe it is as said before that US carriers blocked the full range of N7 IMEIs from voice calling

I found something today that looks like a hidden menu from "Tests" option in Battery Monitor Widget

I live in Egypt and my netowrk is called Mobinil

I hope this can help

What I've seen thus far indicates no audio.

Here it is .... I'm happy with it as an initial release http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515884

Please don't ask for an update.zip... I'll package one when appropriate.

Please don't ask why you can't place GSM calls.

Please don't ask why the Google Experience Launcher is hosed in landscape mode.

Please let me know if you find our Camera app

It has never been possible en nexus 7 3g (2012). Only data (sms) works. You may only use SIP ability to make phone calls.

so wait.. i can send text and picture messages, without google voice?

 

[Synman]

Text is easy.. You just need root long enough to install MMS.apk.

MMS requires a full recompile of the framework with a number of source and configuration changes... Hence GwT.

Request 4.3.1 framework-res with phone.apk showed

I got my nexus 7 3G 2012, I've tried decompiling and compile it again, but it's failed. Do we have frameworks-res.zip that we can use for 4.3.1 ?
