Anyone know of a way to receive calls on the n7 2 with Google voice and groove ip? I've followed the directions on both apps and I'm still not able to receive calls. Thanks

I know I've been able to place calls with Groove IP but I haven't tried receiving. What happens? Does it just not ring?

No I got out working finally. Had to make sure groove ip stayed running.

Glad to hear you got it to ring through. Yes it has to be running for this. There are also several settings within your google voice account for forwarding and such.


Has anyone used a Bluetooth head set with your GrooveIP yet? I had a problem of the app sending the audio and mic to my bluetooth head set even after it was paired with the N7 and I had tapped the bluetooth toggle on the GrooveIP dial pad screen.

Anyone able to make or receive calls using Mighty Text and a bluetooth headset? Every time I place a call, my phone dials and the call is placed from my phone instead of my tablets? I thought Mighty Text allowed calls to an from your tablet, no?

I used to use groove IP but I use talkatone now and it is a better app in my opinion. Works better too.

Ok I figured out the problem with a simple setting toggle.

In the settings > Troubleshooting> make sure you uncheck "WiFi Tablet"..it is for wifi tablets without voice processing ability.

I am using a Plantronics Discovery 975 and it works pretty well as I have it also paired with my dumb phone and going back and forth between them is very easy. But I will add, I have perfect sound quality using a wired set of earphones and no one can tell that it is a VOIP. I have the Basic Echo Canceler on.

I have not yet figured out if a headset with a mic is fully used where the mic on the N7 gets turned off and the inline one on the headphones is used. I know on the old N7 this did not work, but not sure the N7 2013 is any different. Anyone have experience there?

Now I'm back to a great working app! I was tempted to try Tapatalk.....but some said they had better luck with GrooveIP. I like the interface of the GrooveIP better though. These 2 apps are probably close in performance.

so many of these VOIP apps to use! but they all suck! i can hear the person talking to me but they CANT HEAR ME!!!

viber,vonage, dell fongo, talkatone, grooveIP , all same chit different pile

im connected on fast wifi too, over 20Mbps
Have you tried the newest update by fongo? Works fine for me. You need to un-check low bandwidth codec

No, it initiates the call from your phone, that's all.
