Is there any way to view Blackberry videos emailed to you or any videos for that matter? It's extremely frustrating that I could download and save videos sent to me when I had a blackberry but now I can't with an Android even though the Google client on Android is superior. This is like 2006 technology. My girlfriend has a BB and when she emails me a short video, I can't view it or save it. I can't believe this is the case and there is got to be a solution. Has anyone found a workaround for this? And does Google know this is the case? I mean for god sakes, this feature should of been on the cupcake update for the G1.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Use Opera or any other browser to log in to your email and download the attachment. Not a big deal really.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
download in the market the app "download all files".
[Vibrant General] seanp666:
Holy ****, I could kiss you. It worked.....Thanks so much for your help! With all the apps and hackory in the android community, I knew there had to be a way.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Hi

I've been doing some reading on this forum since I got my phone back from the "repairsman" due to malfunctioning speaker :)

So, now I've falshed the latest Modaco release, but however, the phone really get's laggy when you fill it up with apps. I get around 30mb of free RAM when everything is installed and set up.

I also experienced great improvement of my old Desire HD when I flashed to CM7 (gingerbread ROM).

So, now my question is, even though Paul did all his fantastic work on optimizing the stock ROM, are we going to experience the same "laggyness" in the future?

You might call me a bit of an app freak, but I never had these problem with my former HTC, and You would think the O2X should do at least as well.

Im aware that the O2X has lesser RAM, but shouldn't it be enough?

Could it be solved with the 2.3 release, or perhaps a CM7 custom ROM in the future?

I would really like to use all my apps and widgets as on my DHD.

What's your oppinion?
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
Well future isnt the future if you knew it. But my guess is that the potential of this device is by far not reached and will be greatly improved with the next update.

Since this device is so easy to root i would also say that the dev community will support it for quite a while.

Looking forward very optimistic. But as this tegra device is the first of its kind on the market we might have to live with the fact that upcoming devices use their potential better.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I guess the problem with the MoDaCo ROM is that's at the end of the day, it's still built on LG's effort.

I suspect CM will be a whole different kettle of fish.
[LG Optimus 2x] PykaTux:
Download MinFree Manager from Market and set different values. I set "Aggresive" settings. It changes value when apps are killed from RAM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
So I got a brand new MT4G last week, and today T-Mobile sent me a new one since the front-facing camera on the original did not work.

How can I switch all of my contacts/apps/settings/music/sms/etc. to my new MT4G?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
MyBackup Pro
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
Any free options?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
MyBackup is like a 30 day trial of the pro version so if you only need to do it once I recommend that. I tell customers to use it all the time for device replacements. Other then that titanium if you are rooted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
Awesome, thanks... I'm downloading the trial now. Does it just save all of that to the SD card and I put it back onto the new phone? Or do I have to redownload the app on my new phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Between Titanium and MyBackup, I recommend the latter because it's much more simple and easy to use.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
You'll have to re-download the app in order to restore the backups made on your previous phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Apps and contacts will transfer automatically once you sign in to your google account on your new mt4g. Pictures are stored in your memory card. So all you have to do is swap the memory card from one mt4g to the new one.

And why would you want to transfer text messages? Delete them. They take up space.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
Agreed!

Tis' true, it saves all the info to your SD card and then you swap over the SD card to the new phone redownload the app and click restore. It will find the orginal back up on its own. Doing pictures is redundent though if you are keeping the same SD card from the old to new phone as the will auto transfer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Because some people like to keep them. I always back up my texts before a wipe.

Not all apps will not be backed up because they are not associated with your Google account (only paid apps are).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
This didn't happen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
I just did this and it won't let me...

It says "In this version you can only restore/view/manage what you have backed up from this device. To restore/view/manage backups from other devices, please upgrade to the Pro version."

Dang. Trying to determine if its worth paying the 5 dollars for. I have a good amount of contacts, which are linked to there twitters and facebooks, all my pages are fully customized, and I have a ton of apps. It will be such a pain in the but to do all of this manually.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
It's more than worth it in my opinion. You only have to purchase it once, yet from then on you'll have the ability to back up and save whatever you want. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazen37:
So I used Backup Pro to switch my contacts over, and besides the contacts I had it added the contacts of every single Facebook and Twitter account I was friends with or followed... I deleted the contacts for which I had no numbers for (300+). I then noticed that when I went to link the contacts I did have to there Facebook or Twitter accounts they were not there, I guess because I deleted them from my contacts?

Anyone know how to make it so I can link them again? The contacts are also classified as "Google" instead of "T-Mobile" like they were be for, which is kind of annoying.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
This is not true. All my apps are free except xda app and rom manager. I've done plenty of factory resets and they all always come back after I log in my account.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I've been wiping and flashing custom ROMs on Android phones for years, and never once have any apps been backed up after re-signing back into my Google account. It's the exact same way for almost everyone else. If you're going to tell me I'm flat out wrong, maybe you could provide some info like what settings you use?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Settings I use are simple. One that came with the device. Have everything saved to google checked. I've never backed up anything with any back up app. Everything is backed up to google with me.

I factory reset my device when I first flashed cm7, when flashing iced glacier, going back to cm from ice glacier, going to royal glacier and back to cm and to honey and back to cm. Every single time my contacts and all my apps came back. Except one or 2 apps that I didn't download off the market but 3rd party.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Are all your settings backed up as well?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
System settings do not get backed up. I have to set my settings again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Isn't there an option you can check when first signing into your Google account called something like "backup/restore Google settings..."? Way back when CM4 was the latest and geatest, Cyanogen said not to check that box because it could cause problems of kind, so I never have. If you have that checked, that may explain why your apps are returning. It's just weird that your apps come back automatically, when it doesn't seem to happen to hardly anyone else (that's why apps like MyBackup and Titanium exist in the first place).
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I signed up and got the email just now! Check your emails if you signed up for it!

Here's the email:

Hello,

You have been invited to start enjoying the benefits of the Sprint integration before anyone else! We are interested in your feedback as we roll this out to the entire user base and have listed a link to a form where you can send feedback and/or questions.

There are two ways to enable the integrated service:

1. Option 1: Keep your Sprint number (all the benefits of porting without the need to). In this case, your Sprint number becomes your Google Voice number so that when people call your Sprint mobile number, it rings all the phones you want.

How to enable this: click on the "change/port" link next to your GV # in the settings page, choose the option to use your existing number, enter your Sprint number and select the Sprint option.

2. Option 2: Replace your Sprint number with your Google Voice number (all the benefits of the app without the need for one). In this case, all calls made from your Sprint phone will display your Google Voice # natively (same for SMS).

How to enable this: click on the "enable Google Voice on your Sprint phone" link next to your Sprint forwarding phone. If the link does not show, click on edit and use the link to verify whether your phone is eligible.

In both cases, Google Voice replaces Sprint voicemail (pressing one on your phone links you to your Google Voicemail) and international calls made from the Sprint phone will be connected by Google Voice. Integrating your account with Sprint means you will still get the benefits of Any Mobile Any Time if that is included in your service plan.

Important Notes:

The integrated service only works with a valid Sprint mobile number.

For this early release, Sprint support channels will not be available for support, including Sprint Retail Stores, Sprint Customer Care, Sprint Telesales, Sprint Direct Sales Reps, etc.

If you need support, or have feedback, please fill out this form

If you use the Google Voice app on Android, you will need to log out and log back in to make sure the app stops using call interception.

Thanks,

Vincent Paquet, on behalf of the Google Voice team

I'm trying to follow the instructions but I'm not seeing the options in my GV settings. I guess I have to keep playing with it (that's what she said).
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
I just got this email as well, I can't quite figure out what to do with it though. I went to the settings page, but I don't see a change/port link.

I see the "get a google voice number" next to the already listed google voice number, but when I click it and then click "I want to use my existing mobile number instead" it says there's a $20 charge.

I think that's attempting to port my number to google and will result in a sprint ETF. Any idea where I'm supposed to go to?
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
That's the same problem I'm having dude. I'm going to log out of my GV and log back in after 10 minutes.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I want to know how it is going to handle MMS.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I can be a test dummy when I get it to work. I'm wondering that also.
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
Same. I'm in as well but it appears it isn't turned on yet for my account.

From the email: "How to enable this: click on the "change/port" link next to your GV # in the settings page, choose the option to use your existing number, enter your Sprint number and select the Sprint option."

I have no "Sprint Option".

They sent out the emails a little early it looks like.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Or they could be pushing updates right now to our accounts. I'll check every hour. This is going to be perfect for the no service areas. Fire up wifi and still be able to call and text.

Here's another question I hope you guys could answer. I have $15 credit left on Google voice. Will I be able to call international with my credit or will I be charged through Sprint? It would suck to lose that credit and money.
[EVO 4G General] *JC*:
google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1207074

You may want to check these step by step instructions to set it up if you have not already done so. (address to instructions above, just add prefix to it if needed, post count to low to post link)

per the faq's:

MMS is currently not supported by Google Voice, so MMS sent from your Sprint phone will always display your Sprint number and won't appear in your Google Voice inbox.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
They flipped the switch guys. I just completed the process and set my Sprint as my GV. Will test features now.
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
THey just turned it on. Log back into GV. I'm in.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I just tried to dial a friend in Guatemala and it's saying my account is not set up to call the number. I hope this won't disrupt international calling. I'll play around with it some more.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Yep, I'm all up and running. Going to test sms n ****.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
SMS works fine, with one caveat: It doesn't work with handcent. Instead, texts just appear through google voice.

I don't really mind this myself as I have no further use for handcent ever since fixing the phantom voicemail problem I had with AOSP.

You can however use handcent to send SMS, just not receive.

EDIT: Found a fix for it, see next post
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Weird, when I go to voice.google.com, I don't see the option to use my mobile number. I am not a current GV user.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
For Handcent users

For Handcent users:

Go to google voice, under Settings (gear icon on the top right) > Phones, under your cell phone number at the bottom click Edit, then check "Receive text messages on this phone" your text messages should now come through handcent or any other text messaging app for that matter.
[EVO 4G General] Tiffany84:
How do u sign up?
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Nice one! I was confusing people telling them to text one number but call another.

BTW I don't think the switch has been flipped, I still don't see it.

Log in with your gmail credentials.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Did you get your invitation email?
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Not yet, I was responding to the comment that the switch had been flipped (implying for everyone)
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
If you dial your own phone number, it announces your messages and then asks you to press 2 to make a call. I wonder if this will let you call landlines while counting as mobile to mobile minutes?
[EVO 4G General] :
I would imagine it would be unlimited since it's using GV to place the call.
[EVO 4G General] Tiffany84:
Okay. I logged in and it shows me my voicemail but there isn't anything to sign up?
[EVO 4G General] aph:
No, because calling your own phone number is like calling voicemail, it's anytime usage rather than M2M.
[EVO 4G General] :
Click on change your number and it shoul give you the Sprint option.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
So I didn't see the "use your own number" on the google voice signup page. I clicked to just use GV for my voicemail. I guess that ability has been around for a while now... I just had to dial a long *number to 'activate' GV voicemail on my Sprint phone. When I installed the app on my phone, it asked if I wanted GV to take over for international calls/etc. I'd have to guess that I am not seeing this new functionality yet.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Ooops! This number appears to be from an area we don't currently support.

Anybody else getting this type of message? I have been getting this message for months when trying to port my number that I have had from Hawaii for 21 years. I wonder why certain areas aren't supported? And, will they be on the 26th? Weird.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
I even double-checked by going to the settings and asking to "get a google voice number," and supposedly I should be able to just "enable google voice on my sprint phone," but that option doesn't exist.

What did you guys do to get these emails? I am pretty sure I clicked on notify me about a month ago when I saw the Sprint+GV article on Engadget.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
probably have to wait a few days to find out google voice lets you make calls and sms to canada free of charge is sprint going to let us use this for free?
[EVO 4G General] :
I think you have to wait until they send you one. I'm sure they have to enter your gmail credentials in a database before you can start using it.
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
We did what you said, used the "notify me" thing and gave it our email address.

If you didn't get the email you don't have the new functionality yet. For everyone else it turns on April 26th. We are beta testers at this stage.

I've been testing it for the last hour and it works as well as I'd hoped.

The ONE issue I have is with the Android app. There isn't enough granularity with the options regarding notifications. I want different settings for a text notification vs a voicemail.

The real problem is you need to decide what app you are going to text with from now on. Do you use the GV android app or your normal SMS messaging?

I'd be inclined to use the GV app but the main issue with that is that you don't get the text notifications if you don't have a data connection. I like being able to turn data off and still get my texts.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Go to settings > phone > edit on your mobile number > receive text messages on this phone.

If you do that, text messages work exactly as they normally would.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
handcent all the way
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I got the beta test email but I haven't decided if I want to give up my GV number. I've had it since it was Grand Central if any one remembers that.

Any one who took the plunge post back and let me know what you think. My delima is that I've had my cell number for about 6 years and every one I know has it. But I have had my google voice number for 3 to 4 years and I use it for credit card crap / any one who might telemarket me.
[EVO 4G General] justibasa:
Confused, from where???
[EVO 4G General] justibasa:
From where, the app???
[EVO 4G General] justibasa:
Nevermind.
[EVO 4G General] flying_low:
I debated this all day because I like my google number. But i've also had my sprint number for 15 years so I ended using that. No reason to have a 2nd google number when you get all the benefits with only one.
[EVO 4G General] flying_low:
Also it never did give me a new option in the change/port section, instead when I logged out and back into GV on my computer it popped up a dialog window asking if I wanted to change
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
It appears as though dialing your own number to reach voicemail, and then pressing 2 to make a call to a landline, does in fact count as mobile to mobile minutes.

So effectively, you can use google voice to get free landline minutes.

I'd like somebody else to confirm, but basically what I did was check my minutes on sprint.com, and then I placed a call to the local cox communications number (623-594-1000) via google voice, and sat on the line for a few minutes. I didn't use my phone for the rest of the day. My mobile to mobile minutes increased by 5 minutes, whereas my anytime minutes are still the same.

EDIT:

BTW What set me off to figure this out was that they mention that by making your GV number your sprint number, you still benefit from mobile to mobile, so I don't know if the above applies if you don't have your GV and Sprint numbers as the same number.
[EVO 4G General] :
Did you check stock or GV app?
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
IMO the best feature of having google voice is having a separate number. I don't see what are the benefits of using just one number? My voicemail already goes to my google voice number.
[EVO 4G General] :
If I'm in a "no service" area and fire up WIFI would I be able to make/receive calls or does it not work as a VOiP?

Is it possible to have another GV account coexist with this new Sprint GV thing?
[EVO 4G General] fortcollins:
Open your eyes. You have one number, that can be funneled where ever you like. The point of GV was not to have a separate number for your business purposes. It was to have one number that would ring several different phones depending on where you were or how you wanted to be contacted.

The way you have it in your head was a result that came about after the release of GV apps for android, and gv browser functionality. However the intent was never that. Google wants to be your primary phone number.
[EVO 4G General] fortcollins:
i dont have the gv app at all on my phone. there is no real need for it that i can see.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Its not VOIP still uses/u

needs voice network for calls.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Its a better interface to access your voicemail. Plus it has instant switches to filter calls, etc.
[EVO 4G General] fortcollins:
thats great.

im concerned about a solution for the sms syncing problem.
[EVO 4G General] shad0w77:
how do u stop the duplicate google voice sms notification? I receive the notifications in the htc sms app and google voice...
[EVO 4G General] UnlnvlslblE:
It does not sync sent messages from your PC with a messing app on your phone that's not google voice.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Blast! Of course I never signed up for the let me know when this rolls out, email thing. ;( As many google products as I use though...I feel like I should have gotten one.
[EVO 4G General] :
Go to your messaging app. Hit menu, settings and there should be an option there to uncheck receive notifications.
[EVO 4G General] UnlnvlslblE:
You can also disable text message forwarding in your google voice account settings.
[EVO 4G General] shad0w77:
nah, i want to use the native sms app... not google voice... there is no setting in google voice to stop it's own sms notifications, but allow voicemail notifications...
[EVO 4G General] shad0w77:
then u only get the sms in google voice... i want it in the native sms app...
[EVO 4G General] jickey:
That's exactly my line of thought, and what I did.
[EVO 4G General] bucketheadmn:
Only way for the sent messages from the web interface will sync to your phone is through the GV app. They will not show up in the GoSMS app at all because all that is doing is receiving the texts.

Anyone have any idea what will happen when someone not using GV on Sprint tries to forward a voicemail to you? I am afraid I had that happen last night and got these text messages (although not 100% sure what they are for):

both from 9016:

//ANDROID:Provisioning successful CFGv320c.0=07cX+wj0LM///CM

//ANDROID:${from} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call ${callbackno} to listen
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Well said.
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
Go into the Google Voice app settings on your phone and uncheck "inbox notifications".

You don't need the Google Voice app for voicemail notifications. In fact, it's worse to rely on it for them - because if you do, you'll only get voicemail notifications if you have a data connection on your phone.

Instead, go into your google voice settings on a PC and tell it to send SMS transcriptions of the voicemail to your phone. That way, the SMS transcriptions that get sent will alert you that you have a new voicemail, and then you can just open the Android app on your phone to listen to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] silvaizlegiit:
No it's not my call volume I can here that fine. But ringtones, media, speaker phone... None of it has sound.. :( Help me??

Oh yeah, I have already tried new roms and tiny audio fix. Idk what else I can do. I don't want to have to unroot and restore my phone and get a new from my insurance...
