Goolge integration kept stealing my text messages and not delivering them to me for hours. Goolge needs to fix this BS quick, because it sucks taint!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oubravs2b:
I didn't have that problem. The thing I hated was having to switch between Voice for SMS and regular Messaging app for MMS. I wouldn't mind the integration if Voice handled MMS as well.

I've found that using a third party VVM (HulloMail) app and uninstalling Voice is a great setup, IMO. I also tried Visual Voicemail Plus from the market, but I kept getting two messages for every one left for me. HulloMail is great. The only thing I really miss from Voice is having voice to text sent to me. A lot of the time I'm at a client site and can't listen to messages but can read them.

You have to skip integration when you set up Google Voice.

I also would like a way of getting Sprint's VVM working.

I tried Google Voice for awhile and ending up having serious problems with it.

If there is a way to get Sprint's VVM working, thatd be great!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soultraveler:
spoke to Sprint advanced level support today and there was nothing they could do for me.

The way VVM works is that a text message comes in from 9016 that the VVM app picks up and then it goes out to download the voicemail. Without that text message coming in, the app will not know to retrieve any messages.

When I loaded my first cynogen rom on my htc hero, my account wasn't provisioned correctly and they weren't sending the text message anymore. I had called into advance tech support and they reset my voicemail to make it work again.

Now, on my Nexus S, I have the app loaded and it even sent back a text message saying it provisioned correctly. I guess the problem is that sprint knows I have a nexus and because of that, my account is on a different "platform" now. That platform does not utilize the messaging system for VVM and thus the notification does not come to my phone letting the VVM app know there is a voicemail to retrieve.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greefus:
Thanks for the tip about Youmail. I wish I heard of this earlier. This is by far the best replacement for Sprint VVM. I hate Google Voice where it always shows you your SMS messages.

I tried Better Youmail at first since it seemed to get better market reviews. It was driving my nuts how when you put the phone in airplane mode it keeps telling you how it can't connect and I couldn't find a way to turn that off.

So I tried the regular Youmail and that worked great so I don't get the "can't connect" messages, and I could easily find a way to turn of the additional text and email notifications. There's two versions of regular Youmail on the market. The one I like best is the Youmail EOL (end of life?). The interface is black and simple just like Sprint VVM which I love.

The only thing that isn't perfect it has ads and suggestions to sign up for message transcriptions every time you play your VM. Youmail Pro disables the ads but it's $20 per year, and who knows what it looks like.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greefus:
Youmail wasn't as nice and reliable as I thought.

I gave Google Voice another try and it no longer shows new SMS messages. I just installed it from market and didn't do any special Sprint integration. Not quite sure what I did or why it was so easy to turn off the SMS integration this time, but I really like it now: SMS on the messaging app, and VVM via Google Voice only, no dual notifications, no SMS going to Google Voice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The111:
Thanks for the tips. After an hour of screwing around with the 2 Nexuses (Nexi???) in my house, sending dummy texts and VM's back and forth, I finally got it straightened out.

For those starting from scratch on a new phone:

1) If you have a VM notification on your taskbar, log into sprint voicemail once the old fashioned way, or else the notification will never go away. once it does go away...

2) Install updates to google voice from market

3) Launch GV, skip the integration step (or else SMS will be hijacked), set all the minimalist (my term) options in GV... don't let it make calls, etc... ONLY use it for VM's (I had to call a special *28 number for config but it might be because my GV #is different from sprint#... although in the end that is transparent to people calling my sprint # which was my goal).

4) In GV settings in your phone, turn on taskbar notification, but turn off SMS notification. In GV settings on PC at google.com/voice, turn off SMS notification AND email notification... but leave on transcripts (my preference... this is one place where GV is superior to sprint VVM... getting transcripts is pretty damn cool!)

When all is said and done, it seems to be mostly equivalent to old Sprint VVM, actually slightly better with the addition of transcripts as said above. My SMS works 100% normal. I don't have a lot of real world use yet, but from my tests the GV for voicemails only seems like it will work great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imekul:
Curious if anybody has figured out how to get stock visual voicemail working on Nexus S 4G. I'm hoping so!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMostToys:
According to Sprint it is not possible to provision the Nexus S 4G to the Sprint Visual Voicemail system. Choices are GV and regular voicemail.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The111:
By "stock," you actually mean "Sprint," which isn't really stock in the sense of Google stock or Android stock.

Give GV a chance, you will see it has everything the Sprint app had and more.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imekul:
Oh, no, I actually like GV myself. The only problem is I'm having an issue missing phone calls with my NS4G, and I'm thinking GV might be to blame.

That sucks. Hasn't happened to me yet.

Ironically it DID happen from time to time on my old Moment, which DID use the Sprint VVM. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
Does this device have a way to do a screen copy? The Asus Transformer had it's own built in app to do a screen copy. Am I missing a method to do that on this device? I tried loading the ASUS app. I was able to load it but there was no configuration option in settings to configure it so it didn't work.

There's an app called Shoot Me but I think it needs Root, not sure if there are any others that don't need it though.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ikon8:
Neither ShootMe nor drocap2 worked for me. ScreenshotER seems to work well, you have to pay for the full version though, the demo version has a large watermark on your pictures.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
Thanks. Screenshot ER seems to be the best of all of them although it needs root (which I have).

The only thing t hat annoys me is that a utility like this should be "standard" in the HC O/S. The one included with my (former) Asus Transformer was nice and simple. But for a $1.49 I can live with Screenshot ER.

I had the same issue when I tried to manually change the icon of an apk using winrar. I think it happens with unsigned apk's, or if they were modified in some way from the original.
[General Questions and Answers] n.Klug:
The app may not be signed properly or you may be having trouble with apps moved to SD not being read correctly. You could try moving the app from your SD back to your phone or even copying everything from your SD card to your computer, formatting the card, and then transferring everything back to the card as a last resort. I've had to do that before and it solved the problem but it was a pain.

Here's one solution that worked for me:

I installed Android Market 3.0.27 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166152

I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893538

Then the trick that did it was to disable app2SD under settings/applications.

I still am missing some apps in the market (Skype, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.) but at least I can install them from apk files now.

I hope this helps.

I have an HTC Evo Shift 4G, with Mikshift v1.1. I got a message on my phone today about system update 2.76.651.4. But I read on message boards, not to do it on a rooted phone.

I'm currently downloading x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4.

I'm having WiFi issues and need to replace it but all the walmarts that did have the sensation where I bought it are sold out.. can I get a replacement from tmo?
[HTC Sensation] Tylormde:
If you bought it at Walmart you can't ever do an in store exchange in a TMO owned store. If your past the return period at walmart, you can do a warranty exchange through Customer Care. It's still new enough you may get a brand new one versus a refurbished one.
[HTC Sensation] nabzilla1990:
Wow I had crazy WiFi issues with mine too I ordered an unlocked on for my wife and tried it and WiFi is flawless bought it from expansys USA

Anyway if ur past the 15 day thing u can't return it at Walmart
[HTC Sensation] wadill:
Actually you can.. I work at walmart and yes there is a 14 day policy but if you read the fine print it is actually 30 days. Also if you complain enough at any walmart they will work with you. You can return anything at walmart.
[HTC Sensation] jonyang:
Htc customer care or tmobiles?
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Call htc technical support they will send you a box to send your phone and send you a new device . I bought mine from wall mart and sent it back no questions ask with my previous phone. As long as your phone is not physically damaged for a entire year you are covered for a replacement. I had the htc hd2 replaced four times and I didn't pay nothing.
[HTC Sensation] jonyang:
I called htc they said they only repair phones and they don't replace phones.. I talked to them (tech support) for an hour ..after they said that indeed I did need a replacement he transfered me the warranty and repair and they said what I stated above... Hmmm? I'm confused..
[HTC Sensation] jonyang:
I bought the phone at walmart under contract then cancelled after 14 days.............. Walmart won't exchange it.. havnt tried tmobile.. will tmobile replace it even if the line was cancelled?
[HTC Sensation] jonyang:
Htc said that I could send it in to be repaired.. not replaced.. but I wouldn't have a phone.. so that's not an option...
[HTC Sensation] gclawson:
I am a department manager at Walmart and you don't have 30 days. On Verizon and att you have up to 30 days to exchange. T-Mobile has always been 15 days no matter what. To the user who's store is doing different you are eating the cost and taking money out of your my share check. Each store will be different but at mine I do not do returns after the time period. I give them the number for manufacturer support.
[HTC Sensation] bilbo6209:
T-MOBILE SUCKS!!!!! I have spent 3 hours on the phone and in store this evening trying to replace my Sensation that is eating SD cards.....

I went into the local T-Mobile store and was basicly told by the rep there that he couldnt help me at all, due to the fact of me purchasing the phone through Customer care..... I called customer care and after almost an hour (and getting disconected 2X) they agreed to ship a new phone out.... but it wouldnt be here till Tuesday at the earliest.... well this is the reason I went to the store, I am going to be gone for the next 1.5 weeks..... the reps solution was to ship it out and let it sit on the front step for about a week!!! When I complained I was transfered to an "Account specialist" who proceeded to interupt me several times, and say there was 100% nothing she could do.... I asked to be transfered back to the lady who was going to order the phone and she hung up on me!!!!

After calling back for a 3rd time the only thing the rep offered to do was to log my complaint.... no offer to place order phone, no offer to see if there was any way to allow me to pick it up in store etc....

T-mobile will not allow you to even pick up a replacement phone in the store if the orignal was purchased through customer care.... So I would HIGHLY DOUBT that you could exchange the phone at a t-mobile store if you purchased it at Wal-Mart! As long as you bought the phone T-Mobile DOESNT CARE about you, you are already locked into a contract so you dont matter to them!!!
[HTC Sensation] Utorrent76:
Its also 30 days @ t-mo if you buy the phone off contract. I've gone through five sensations before I found the perfect one. So far so good.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
#1 Each location (call center, online, corporate store front) Is alotted a specific portion of devices with traceable by location imei numbers.

#2 Having to return the device to the place you purchased it was included in the contract & receipt IN BOLD LETTERS. Try reading it again.

#3 Walmart purchases their devices directly from HTC or the OEM. NOT FROM US. This is why they can sell them cheaper.

#4 Eating a SD card seems like something you are doing, like buying cheap cards online. That is NOT our fault.

#5 If you are going to be leaving town we can ship replacement devices to where you are, not just your home. So your story makes littls sense.

We do care and i am sorry you had this type of experience. I don't work in customer care but if I did i would have suggested you ship to wherever you are going.

Bought mine yesterday at Walmart. We noticed on the forms it says 14 day, but 30days in California.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Ok, here's my story.

Purchased an upgrade from Vibrant to Sensation through Customer Care. Phone arrived last Wed, so I'm within the 14-day remorse period. This morning the phone died. Door nail dead. Won't turn on at all, no lights with charger plugged in. Went to TMO store, swapped batteries, nothing. Guy says since I ordered through CC I have to call them for a replacement and they would "ship me one over night" (his words).

Over an hour on the phone with CC, transferred to 3 different people, the best they will do is have me ship my dead phone back to them, once they receive it next week I have to call and they will undo/redo my upgrade deal, and ship me a new phone.

CSR told me all TMO stores are privately owned (not actually T-Mobile), so that's why the store wouldn't replace my phone unless I bought it at the store.

This is not what I would describe as great service.
[HTC Sensation] bilbo6209:
Elvis,

If T-mobile can ship to any address why did no one at tmobile suggest this??? Maybe the phone reps need to be instructed of this.

Patriot memory is not a "cheap" memory, Kingson is not a cheap memory, they are both well known brands with excelent track historys.

If I test the SD card in a PC, and copy data to it, power off the phone, pull the battery, insert the SD, insert the battery, and power on the phone and then I receive a message stating the card is not formatted, click OK to allow the phone to format it, and then receive a message stating the phone can not complete the format.... how is that me doing anything wrong??? On our other phone I didnt even power off the phone when I put in an inexpensive SD card, and it is still working great.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
That's been procedure though. Many times on my non-employee line i have to call in just like you do and if i am traveling they always ship to where i am going. Most outsource agents are not always trained the best like that and i am truly sorry for your experience.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
WWW.LIES.COM if we don't own it it REQUIRED to say "Authorized Dealer" by law. You probably purchased yours or tried to return it to an "Authorized Dealer" but that is completely FALSE.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
So, if I do a search for stores here:

http://locator.t-mobile.com/

what tells me it's a real T-Mobile store versus an "authorized dealer"?

If the one near me is a real TMO store should they have replaced my dead phone?
[HTC Sensation] mylexon20s:
So what your saying is that you did FRAUD to get the phone. Activated a Line and then cancelled it within 14 days and kept the device.. FRAUD man
[HTC Sensation] :
Riiiiight? I just noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out. My conversation with him is done at this point. Im on to the next thread.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Answer All questions..? I cant find anywhere in what you posted that says anything about a 30 day buyers remorse on new activation... Where please :)
[HTC Sensation] :
Go back and re-read please. I will post it one more time.

You have 14 calendar days (30 calender days in CA) from the date of purchase to return purchased equipment to the point of purchase where you purchased your device from. Equipment must be in good working condition with original contents and packaging to be eligible for a refund of the purchase price. This return policy applies to the purchase of new equipment from T-Mobile or its authorized dealers. Proof of purchase is required. We may charge a restocking fee. A different return period may apply to accessory purchases. Prepaid cards, software, or games are not refundable.
[HTC Sensation] alucardunit1:
No why would you. if i get a head set from best buy can i return it at walmart?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
How did you get replacement phones? My Sensation died and TMO's replacement policy is going to take over a week for me to get a new one.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Fraud is "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain."

What criminal or deceitful act was committed here? If a contract says you have the right to cancel within 14 days and keep the phone, where is the deception if you abide by those terms?

If he tells T-Mobile he bought the phone from them to get a replacement, then I agree it's fraud. If the phone is defective and he asks HTC for a warranty replacement that's not fraud.

If Walmart doesn't want people doing this they need to modify their contract. But being truthful and playing by the rules the vendor sets is not fraud.

Hi,

I'm stuck trying to decide between the RooCase "Multi-angle" or the "executive". I try listing some pros for each folio, and I understand it's kind of a personal usage thing. But maybe through the power of the forums, others can offer some insights on non-obvious advantages of one over the other?

EDIT: Video reviews posted on A*mazon reviews for both products. Follow product link.

"Multi-angle", $24

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi-Angle-Leather-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B00547IQCS

"Executive", $34

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Executive-Portfolio-Landscape-Transformer/dp/B00547IQ3C

I've never used a tablet before, so the weight I give to some of the +'s and -'s may be due to my inexperience. Anyone want to chime in?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SoCalTiger:
I think you can fold the cover of the multiangle back to hand hold it.

Executive would be awkward to type on in landscape mode
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] coachclass:
From the video reviews on Amazon (Thanks PCmicrostore), you get more info.

On the Executive, the picture frame leg that makes the 45" stand has a magnet on it to keep it closed when not in use, so it won't flop around.

However, on the Executive model, the two large velcro circles might be kind of scratchy...not comfortable on bare skin.

I'm unsure if the multi-angle can be folded all the way over to hand hold. The Executive can be taken off the folio quickly via the velcro, so transforming to hand hold is quick. But I'm also leery that it might come off the velcro if you don't zip it shut while transporting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] tonyz3:
for me neither. It seems these cases don't accommodate a good typing angle.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] coachclass:
For me, the ability to type isn't as important...I haven't seen any folio type cases that allow you to type...and I'm not sure what you would ask for? Would you want the ability to put it flat on the table to type? Or are you imagining some other way?

That is, if you could design one, how would you design it to allow you to type?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] tonyz3:
yikes.....Where is the love. :cool:

I am referring to the an angle comparable to the original Asus official case. It doesn't seem that either of these angle down enough to type comfortably- not sure who can type flat on the table....

Just my opinion.

I did not opt for the keyboard dock as i feel it would have been an option i would not have used much so i wanted to put the extra funds into a good case - which needed to accommodate a good typing angle.

I like the price points of these cases; however the angle is not there.

I ended up shelling out alittle more than i wanted to for the Pdair. Which is a great choice for me. - I know this is not the thread for an review of it.

These roos cases are a great choice but just not for me. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] coachclass:
lol. Yeah, I was kinda harsh. I see what you mean about the Pdair. I guess for the two roocases, they would be more for reading. I agree that typing would be difficult, having to rearrange things.

In general, I'm beginning to think that the ability to do portrait orientation is a big plug...might trump all the rest.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Underwater Mike:
I ordered the multi-angle because I wanted something as low-profile as possible, while still protecting the tablet from scratches and giving me something a bit more substantial to hold onto.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SoCalTiger:
Check out the Case Crown Bold. It only has 2 angles effectively but one of them is a typing angle.
