Hi guys, I've got a Note 8.0 and I'm happy with It because I can use It as phone (3G version).
Does the LTE version of the note pro support the phone functionality? Can I use it to make phone calls? Of course I work with bluetooth earphones.
Thank you
Antonio

How do you use it to make calls and text?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-P907A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
With the stock dialer and message app... And a bluetooth headset or earphones with mic.

See attached screenshots.

Does anyone have any experience using this and SideSync with a Galaxy phone? I just realized a couple days ago, while watching an LG presentation, that we probably had a feature that was similar.

Beyond human comprehension
Can you please give me a run down of how you accomplished this.....
The LTE version of the Note 12.2 has basically the same phone dialer, text message, browser, etc. that's found on all Galaxy phones. It's just displayed on a 12.2 screen. Wanna make a call? Tap the phone icon and dial away like you would do on any modern cellphone. Rince and repeat for text messaging, email, web browsing, etc. That's the point of getting the LTE version. It turns the tablet into a giant cell phone and you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, instead of the Samsung Exynos processor to boot.

note pro as a phone

- Buy the tablet
- Start the tablet
- Open the app drawer.

That's it.

This is full 100% unaltered stock. These apps came pre-installed out of the box.

This is the p905 4G edition, not the p900 WiFi Only. The WiFi only model doesn't have a 3G/4G radio.
I have the at&t version 907 and I dont see a dialer or a message application

The dialer and message apps are already on it you just have to find a way to get them to work. I have the Verizon variant and downloaded a dialer app and when I tried to run it the tablet asked what app to use at default and the dialer app was one of the choices. But it wouldn't run. It is also listed in the app manager under all apps.

This is true. Other downside of SideSync: no word gliding for you.

I did discover some upsides, including being able to drag files from my file manager onto it, and opening a movie from my phone that played on my tablet (instant media streaming).

And like an idiot, I still haven't tried placing a call.

Help, no Phone

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I just had major surgery and some problems concentrating
I just purchased the Verizon Note Pro 12 today and there is no phone icon anywhere..
I have searched through every spot on that thing and cannot find it. I have the Note 3 phone and other samsung stuff so I am pretty used to their systems..
..Is there something I need to do special to find this because I am about to having a multi-hundred dollar discus. :confused:

Yes it is 4G, yes i have the Sim card inserted, yes it told me my phone number, but no phone or dialer icons exists, and I am supossed to be using this on a trip in a day and a half so would like to know its functions.


Thanks everybody..
