The only problem with this is Notifications for Voice Mail is affected too. Id like to retain notifications for VM but maybe they will add this in the future to disable notifications for the 2 services
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
As long as GV using my mimutes instead 3G I'm not impress.
[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
Even better google has a pretty good video about the service and different ways it can ne used. Its pretty bad on the evo forum as well people dont understand that you do not need the app on your phone to use your phone normally.
[Epic 4G General] sherm420:
until google bypasses POTS, gv calls will always be non m 2 m. this is because of the charges associated with POTS and mandated by federal laws.
[Epic 4G General] lloydcabraham:
I use the Google Voice callback app along with Sprint's Sprint to Home plan (extra $5/Month) in conjunction to Google Voice to bypass the Landline to Mobile charge. Works great.
[Epic 4G General] GucciPilot:
In the invite email, it says that if you use your sprint # as your GV # then you can still take advantage of any mobile...
[Epic 4G General] DTgreat:
Untrue, I use it, and I use GoSMS pro, all you have to do is follow the instructions. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] DTgreat:
I get voice mail notifications just fine.:)
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
I was wondering just the other day if that would work. Glad to see it does!
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
So what settings do you use to get the texts to come through the native app? Do you still get voicemail notifications if I uninstall the app?
[Epic 4G General] chevyfan061:
would sure like to know this as well... i wish i could use the standard messaging app and have it still be backed up online like how it is when sending texts through google voice.
[Epic 4G General] JohnnyEpic:
I figured it out. I was early tester and there wasn't much instructions at the time.
[Epic 4G General] DTgreat:
I have my native messaging app notifications off (Auto Retrieve on)

I have Google Voice installed for Voice Mail with text notification off, and text message forwarding on(Which once sprint voice is activated no longer asks what phone you use)

I have GoSMS normal settings on

What I've found out through trial and error:

You need the native messenging app installed

You need Google Voice as your default voicemail provider (Or else there isn't really a point in using the fowarding)

You can only have one device listed as the "Cell Phone" (I used to have my Nook Color as my cell also, but texts wouldn't come through)
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
just got the switch today. so far my inbox is a mess of double text notifications.
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
I enabled this the other day and had been getting MMS via Go SMS and normal texts in the GVoice app. However, on the webpage, if you click "edit" under your mobile phone (with the sprint logo next to it) under the phone settings, you will find the option to have texts forwarded to your phone, and thus your android sms app (for me, I use go sms and have the stock notifications turned off). You would also need to turn off the notifications in the google voice app.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
THANK you... i've been going nuts looking for that

also that call screening was driving me nuts. i ported my number then went out.... and every damn phone call i was getting was a disaster till i got home and turned it off
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
You're welcome, glad to help. I've been looking for that for a few days myself! Call screening was bothering me, too! I thought I had disabled it but then again this morning it seemed to have re-enabled itself. Hopefully that stops happening as when it was on the call was lost before I was able to hit 1.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
ugh... i have no idea how to make my phone stop double notifying me with sms pro and voice. i've tried every combination i can think of
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
Did you go into the gvoice app settings, click sync and notifications then uncheck the "inbox notifications" box? (assuming you want go sms notis and not gvoice...) Warning tho this will (most likely) disable notifications for new voicemails as well.
[Epic 4G General] Aneirin:
I simply uninstalled the google voice app. If you aren't dealing with two separate numbers, why bother with the app? Everything goes through google voice as it should. SMS and MMS have been perfect and lag free. All this despite the fact that sms gets logged etc through google voice and mms does not as google voice doesnt support it. If you uninstall the google voice app it becomes transparent. Maybe I'm just missing something here, but some people seem to be over complicating this.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
what about voice mail notifications?
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i have "syncronize inbox" and "notifications via text message" i have no idea what they really do as the explainations are vague. i tried different combinations of the 2 but they seem to be turning themself back on at random.
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
Two reasons why I didn't do this, one is for the voicemail. If gvoice voicemail is still properly setup on the phone, then you could probably just enable voice transcriptions to be texted or emailed to you and that MAY remedy that. The other reason I kept it because I'm a student and while I am in class or at the library there are many areas that have absolutely terrible Sprint service, yet my school has WiFi available so I could now send and receive texts through the gvoice app over a WiFi connection. I actually think that wifi texting and calling (assuming there's a way to do that on the phone) as well as web texting and calling from your own number is the biggest perk for the whole integration!
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
There is a third check box "inbox notifications", make sure that one is unchecked to prevent gvoice text message notifications. The synchronize inbox will just log all of your texts and voicemails by background synching, you can do with that what you like. I'm not entirely sure what notifications via text do but my GUESS is that it will send you a text message when you get a new voicemail ?

Again, my settings are to have those two checked, and the inbox notifications unchecked. Then I have the notifications on in my normal text message app (Go SMS Pro for me). Hopefully this works for everyone else!
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
ok got it... i guess i'll wait till tomorrow for some phone calls to test it
[HTC Inspire 4G] OCMarkW:
I have a new AT&T HTC Inspire 4G. Thinking about rooting. Plenty of info on it and I'm sure I can do it. But there are some questions I can't find covered.

I would like to know the end result. For example, I see most of the software is labeled as HTC Desire. Although it's only be a couple of days, I kind of like my Inspire. Besides the obvious 3G / 4G difference, is there others?

My questions are:

1) Will I lose the HTC Sense stuff?

2) Will I lose the AT&T stuff?

3) What other customizations will I lose?

3) Will my Inspire be a Desire with 4G?

4) What other differences will I notice?

TIA
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
You don't lose anything in terms of features, you gain a ton of possibilities though in terms of customization.

[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Oh that made me lol.

Anyway Op in a sense (no pun intended):

1. No you don't lose sense unless you flash a gingerbread rom

2. Yes you lose ATT stuff (bloatware) which equals major goodness lol

3. You don't lose any customizations only gain

4. You can notice increased battery life, faster phone, run smoother
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Gingerbread has sense, I think you mean MIUI, and CM, or senseless roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
And there are quite a few senseless ROMs...:D

But what do I know...in sticking with a fast stock ROM. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
You don't lose anything. You gain function and have the complete choice to run whatever you want.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Yep I meant those two hehe:p
[HTC Inspire 4G] bahairus:
You can root with the stock rom and still keep all the AT&T bloatware... though, I am not sure why you'd want it! One of the best part of rooting is that you can unload that crap.

You can keep sense (or lose it). You can still get all the same apps.. and more, since you can enable the option to download non-market apps!

DO. IT. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] OCMarkW:
Thanks all. Been a long time since I've been a virgin at anything. LOL. Funny, you all have only good things to say about rooting. The only negatives are warranty, picking the wrong ROM / radio, doing a ENG S-OFF rather than RADIO S-OFF (for us regular users).

So the last question is, if I have Andriod 2.2.1, Baseband 12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06_M , Kernel 2.6.32.21-g3c08447, Build 1.80.502.3 CL318736 , software 1.80.502.3

which ROM / radio do I use to get back as close to stock?
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
The roms that I know that are closest to stock are twopumpchump's, ClearD's, and the one I have in my sig.

Big ups here to twopumpchump's ROM. Optimized stock, everything works (for me), speedy, stable, definitely a good first ROM to flash. I'm sticking with it until I can no longer suppress my hankering for Gingerbread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
I'd like to mention one thing everyone here seems to have forgotten - you do lose all your data, contacts, apps, etc. The phone will be as if it were brand new. This is actually the one thing that is keeping me from rooting myself. I'm just too lazy to go through doing all that stuff again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] OCMarkW:
Tacos indeed. So the thread I just read titled "Desire HD >> to >> Inspire 4G Patch" is moot? Or old? Or just there to confuse us Inspire folks?

All the comments about "sound issues" after rooting an Inspire with a Desire ROM are moot too?

Arg. Clear as mud. CHEESEBURGER! LOL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
No offense, but it seems that you are too lazy to do some research.You know there are programs that backup that info? Contacts don't get lost if they are synced with gmail.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
you can keep sense even if you flash a GB ROM. CoreDroid has GB and a newer version of Sense (2.1)

I'm loving CoreDroid, so you might want to give that a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] OCMarkW:
And what backup tool, WITHOUT BEING ROOTED, would that be?

I am under the belief there is no current program(s) that will backup your phone "as is." If you've rooted than you can create custom restore images (essentially complete backups) but w/o root you are very limited in backup ability.

Is my "belief" wrong? I surely hope so and you can point us in the correct app direction...

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
DO IT...DO IT....DO IT... :)

I think you'll be happy once you root your phone and install custom ROMS. It opens up a whole new world!
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I guess that's what you have to lose. I just always re-enter my wifi and bluetooth stuff. Lol. As far as preferences throughout the OS, you'll lose that every time you flash a ROM. Wallpapers will be saved if they're on your SD. And by"some protected apps and data" you mean?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
This. It's so much better than leaving your phone stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
right but you only lose this one time. once rooted, everything can be backed up, all the time, and bouncing between ROMs you can restore data with ease etc. remember you dont "lose" anything, contacts get backed up to google server, etc. call logs and texts are the main thing that gets lost. even then you can back up texts etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
the stock google backup feature remembers wifi points and the password, your wallpaper, etc. this is on stock ROMs so i dont know if sense disables googles backup. but when you first turn on your phone, the setup askes for "google backup". i chose yes. then anytime i flash a ROM, my wallpaper is automatically restored along with my wifi access point and password, all my settings, contacts, etc.

I believe so also. You've posted 2 topics in this forum, which is a development not a questions forum.

Yeah it was in a panic

MODS please move these 2 threads by my
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
Wait... what is everyone on about?

Are you just saying that your phone isn't recognised by your PC anymore, i.e. ADB and similar programs don't work. By the sound of it you've actually done nothing at all to your device. You simply need to uninstall Heimdall's drivers, which can be done from zadig.exe, i.e. the same way you installed them.

Assuming the information you gave is correct then your device is absolutely fine and nothing at all on your device has even been changed.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Ok so let me maybe ask this question. When Heimdall installs drivers does it only install things onto the computer or is a driver installed on the tab itself?

If its only on the computer I have removed that, in which case the issue lies with SuperOneClick.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
Cant you just uninstall the hiedmill drivers then re-install the samsung ones?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
ok well I think this might be the problem. When I unistalled the drivers I think the problem is that windows wont reinstall them now. Im at work so ill have to wait to get home and try this.

Anyone know where I can download the drivers for Windows 7 for the galaxy tab?

Just saw the New Sense 3.0 on the newly announced Sensation. Will our Desire S going to have a taste of that new UI?

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] davebugyi:
It depends on how the hardware can cope with the new sense. Probably, but not likely :)
[HTC Desire S] TheUndutchable:
So indeed the answer is no... Have a look at engadget website (I am not allowed to post links yet...)

"HTC Sense 3.0 will only support Sensation, EVO 3D, Flyer and newer devices, older hardware left behind"
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Okay, I've already read the article. But what would be Android's next version? Will it have hardware specifics too?
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
The Desire S has 2.3.3 Gingerbread, which is currently the latest version of Android

for phones

. As for Ice Cream (of unknown numbering), there's no telling what hardware requirements Google may impose, so we won't know if Ice Cream will make its way to the Desire models.

That's not entirely true. In their first tweet, which everyone is quite well aware of, HTC said that Sense 3.0 won't be supported on their older models (including the Desire S) due to the limitations of their older hardware.

However, in a later tweet, which many people may have overlooked, they mentioned that while they can't port the whole Sense 3.0, they have been trying to port other improvements that aren't so performance-dependent to the older models.

As a result, while older hardware may not be able to run Sense 3.0 to the satisfaction of their QA division, there are other features that can be brought in. In fact, from the leaked HTC Desire Gingerbread ROM, we know that HTC is trying to bring, amongst other things, the very useful Fast Boot feature to the old HTC Desire. Fast Boot does not eat up additional CPU cycles or occupy extra RAM in order to realise its benefits, so it is an ideal candidate for them to bring to their older models without hampering their performance.

Lastly, if it helps you sleep better, rest assured that the developers at xda are working hard at porting the inevitable leaked ROMs to the old models, though the quality of the experience is anyone's guess.
[HTC Desire S] j2kquest:
The guys in the desire hd forum have a leaked sense 3.0 rom....stumbling block seems to be the screen resolution.

Im sure sense 3.0 will be unofficially supported on most of the 2010/2011 htc devices
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Whether it gets it officially is one question.

But this article shows that people are already trying Custom ROMS on the Desire HD with it.....so once our device is unlocked/rooted it will only be a matter of time

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/desire-hd-gets-the-first-ever-pyramid-port-yes-sense-3-0-too/
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
the hd2 with old outdated hardware even got the port. so clearly htc is lying abt compatability. they just want the new sense on their latest flagship phones so ppl will buy it.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
The reason for haddware capability is that the sense takes up 3gb storage, the sensation has 4gb rom, but 1gb accessible; the 3gb is used up by the rom + sense
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
This has been discussed ad nauseum on xda, but it always bears repeating to note that the HD2 is anything but outdated. A 1 GHz single-core processor and 512 MB RAM is a very common spec in the current range of phones. By the same yardstick, we would be calling the Galaxy S and HTC Desire 'outdated' as well. :D

I won't discount the possibility that they're doing this to increase the appeal of the Sensation, but let's keep in mind that Sense 3.0 has only some incremental updates. People won't go for the Sensation just for some cool 3D animations and a fancy lockscreen, and for the same reasons, a lot of us won't miss it too. Besides, they do need some differentiating factor for their flagship model that takes advantage of its hardware. ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
well the reason i consider the hd2 outdated hardware is that it has the 1st gen cpu snapdgragon, which has been suceeded by the mich more powerful effiecitne 2nd gen. S if htc ae limiting the update on the dhd for

'a weak hardware'(2nd gen cpu) than the hd2 (1st gen) gets the update working smooth

so clearly it isnt much of a hardware requirement!
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
I agree with you. There's nothing to stop us from running Sense 3.0 on our current phones, but to my knowledge, the Sense 3.0 port isn't always that smooth on the DHD, let alone the HD2. The obvious problems with screen resolution aside, it's true that it's working so far, but such tests have so far been done at a low level of activity (fresh boot), and without all the cached programs and background processes one would expect in a typical Android phone that is used on a daily basis. When you start factoring in the demands of placed upon a phone to complete everyday tasks, lags and other issues will start cropping up, especially with an interface as heavy as Sense 3.0.

I mean, you could run AutoCAD on your home desktop now, and it might even work with something simple like drawing a rectangle, but that doesn't mean it'll continue to work so smoothly when you're using it for a normal workload, like designing an automobile. Sounds somewhat exaggerated, I know, but hardware does matter where a smooth user experience is concerned. ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
good point. anyway, at the end of the day, it really depends what the user prefers; the latest best software to compromise for a slower, slightly laggy phone, or for the official updates.

IMO, i will be quite happy with what htc have to bring to the Desire S (their version of 3.0) I'm not to bothered about the fancy 3d spinning cubes, but i'd like the new lockscreen, and weather widgets (we should hopefully get the new weather thing as the WP7 HD7has it on a single core 1st Gen Snapdragon CPU)
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
Definitely. That's why we love xda. There's just so much choice and freedom to do what we want to our phone that suits our tastes. :) I hope the devs here manage to hack Sense 3.0 so that everyone can flash it to enjoy. I, on the other hand, have to be content with what Samsung gives me. Cheers. :D
