[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
Since I switched 2 phone over we've used zero minutes on our plan, except for the any mobile to any moible minutes, this seems more than enough reason to stay using it and not care about the quirks. It means I can drop to a lower plan and save money!

Using the google voice app for texts isn't that bad. Now that I'm used to it I like how everything is sorted by time received and then grouped into conversations, plus voicemail thrown into there. Its a one stop shop.It is great for work, we use just our personal cell phones for communication, I only have to check one place.

Call screening was the first thing I turned off, it was such a horrible idea. It's like they forgot we had that newfangled fancy thing called caller id on our phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] aaron130:
Excellent!! Thanks for this info I found it and now deleted gv app and its SOOOOO much better!! Just get a text when i get a voicemail
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
I stopped that issue way before I bought an E3D. I used it on the OG Evo for seperating calls by dishing out Google number instead of my real cell number. Its kind of annoying how Google voice works though. I kind of see it as a privacy issue especially when it comes to texts and voicemail. Open your eyes people. Google isn't are cell phone company, so why give out such privacy.... To each is own.

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown1205:
i set mine up manually instead of the quick integration step. GV is my voicemail and i use my regular number to make calls and text. if i need to text or call using my GV number, i have a widget to to do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Yea once I re installed google voice and is asked permission to take over my voice mail I exited out then went back into the beginning and selected to skip integration. I am not interested in google taking over my sprint matters as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
Gv does not want to take over your life or your phone. Most problems come as the OP stated - people signing up for it wrong or doing the initial setup wrong - all user error (yes there were some screwups by Sprint with initial integration but they fixed that) .

I've had Google voice since it was called grand central. Separate phone number that goes to two Sprint phones, does not mess with the Sprint phones SMS, and does not mess with their voicemail. I've set it up the other way too and then easily switched back. I've setup brand new GV accounts with Sprint integration and then disabled that too.

All user error. You have to understand the difference between using your own number with a separate GV number, using your Sprint number in a GV account, and using a GV number completely. Once you decide which is for you, then you need to set it up properly, understanding the limitations of each setup.

Read first, choose your setup, then run initial setup right and GV is awesome - it'll do whatever you want however you want it to do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] neodarksaver:
yea, you gotta set the settings on ur google voice on ur computer to send text to the phone. and the go to the google voice setting on ur phone to make google voice not give notification to a text. then you will be back to normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] charlie hustle:
well, gv ****ed up my voicemail also. To the point where every VM i received i just got a text from sprint telling me to call a number to check my VM. Instead of going to my VVM. With that being said, i had to do a factory reset on my phone just to clear the issue. I dont even tough my GV number anymore. I liked the old integreation on the og evo better.

BTW i read everything, and you have only two options, to let your sprint number GV number or let your GV number be your sprint number. I really didnt want either, i just wanted to use my GV number when i wanted to use it on my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
There is a third option. Sign up for google voice as a separate deal. Get your separate google voice number. Then set it up so that your sprint number forwards to google voice when your phone is done ringing and get voicemail only from google voice.

So three options. Google voice number as Sprint number, Sprint number as Google voice number, OR separate Sprint and Google voice numbers with voicemail forwarding only (or not you don't even have to do that). I do the last option, use my GV number as my forever permanent "home" number, which rings both my cell and my wife's cell. Or if I want I get my own voicemail on my phone by toggling voicemail forwarding. I have it however I want it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mama Luigi:
Thank you for the useful advice! Wife's phone got messed up when I installed a new ROM, couldn't figure out how to get the settings just right. I must have reinstalled GV and set Handcent as the default five or six times before I found this thread.

I like that GV gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want, but their interface and wording of the setup could use some work.
[HTC EVO 3D] littlerockant:
The privacy issues are what scared me away from google voice...Who knows if they're held to the same standards with regard to our data as Sprint. We just saw how easily Sony was hacked the other day. I realize the same thing could happen to our phone companies but at least with out gv there is less opportunity...I'd just like to see more discourse on the issue, because the service is definitely tantalizing:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] dablackface:
thanks will give it try
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEIf_Ndwzcg This is exactly why I love my Sprint Google Voice integration.
[HTC EVO 3D] cooolone2:
That is the way to do it... I've had my GV# for quite some time and use conditional call forwarding (not answering call or on call) from my Sprint line to the GV which then does what "I" want it to. The Sprint integration thing although nice, seemed a bit much to me.

Also, unless things have changed, MMS does not work via GV to the handsets... if that has changed maybe I'll re-install GV, otherwise, I'll wait.

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] bigjoe7757:
Hi guys, I'm going to try Gv out and wanted to know if anyone has been using land line mins when integrated sprint with Gv. I understand that the phone dials a land line number and then connects you through and that also how you receive the calls. Just want to make sure I'm not going to go over my mins
[HTC EVO 3D] bkertz:
Not sure if this is a GV related problem or not. Sometimes when people call me, my phone never rings (all through it does in my google voice account on my laptop). Other times it rings for a while in my google voice account on my laptop and finally rings my phone once or twice before going to voicemail. And then sometimes it rings in both places at about the same time. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do about it?
[HTC EVO 3D] superchi:
Or under settings you can check off "Receive text messages on this phone" to continue receiving texts to your phone, and turn off call screening so you don't have to press 1 to accept calls. Finally, and this may be the hardest part, turn off the notifications in the Google voice app so they don't pop up in the notification bar. After all this, you will continue to have standard voice service but get the awesome integration features of having texts backed up and having all the Google voicemail features.
[HTC EVO 3D] RobertVanHagar:
Had the same issue on my Evo for the past 3 days. I just needed this step and presto! My initial issue was not being able to place or receive calls using my device. The message I'd get when dialing from and to the phone was the "We could not complete your call. Please try again." Since I was working w/Sprint TSS, I called in yesterday after so many days of Data Profile updates, Data Profile restore, Manual Programming, Hard Resets & deleting my Sprint phone in Google Voice, and asked my fellow associate to remove the Google Voice SOC (Service Code) from my account in the CSM system. Didn't have to do the OTA.

The second issue that followed was not being able to receive text messages on my Evo's stock messaging app. Downloaded Google Voice, and spent the last 3 hours messing with it until I came upon your thread. YOU DA MAN!

[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
In this case buy a JIG £4. I've bought it from eBay from a British seller. No advertising allowed here I'm afraid, but if you search you'll find.

Do it yourself!!! It only cost 10 € cents (4 resistors: 3x100K, 1x1K) and a used micro usb cable.

You can make one in less than 3 minutes.

close odin reopen and attempt to reconnect and flash your Froyo Bootloader. if that don't work you may want to consider a new phone. there aren't any samsung repair centers here in the usa to my knowledge. and your warranty is far gone. Sorry can't help more then that but Bootloaders aren't to be trifled with. Goodluck.

When u do a gingerbread bootloader the method of download mode is very different then froyo so u will have to look that up but its not holding down +,_ volume its something different for gingerbread. But once u figure that out!

power off phone

pull out battery

turn on odin

attach phone to pc with usb cable

now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.

now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!

make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.

Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
late to the game here... can you boot up the phone? I guess not, but if you could, turning off USB debugging, connect to usb, drivers install, then turning debugging back on would have done it i believe.

have you uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers?

have you trid multiple usb ports?

have you removed other usb items and rebooted the pc?

all of these things sound odd but have proven to help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
I can no longer get android to run on my HD2. Here are the details to my problem. Please I really need help, will make it well worth the while of anyone that can sort this problem out for me.

First off, I had been running android on my device for about a month. Then it started just going off and freezing at the android boot logo. Nothing I did would work unless I reinstall the rom.

Then that just stopped working and even after reinstalling a rom (nand) it would never get past the android boot logo after the go go go screen. It would just stay there then restart and the restart loop continues.

I have tried

- task 29

- flashing an official stock rom

- trying different radios even though the one in my sig worked with android just fine

- reflashing HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR and recovery

- formatting my SD cards (over and over again)

- trying different roms....etc

Nothing works. And I have lost count of how many times I have gone through all this.

Please take note that I did have android running on my EU HD2 with the HSPL, radio and rom in my sig on this very phone so I at least know what I am doing.

I just dont get this issue, cause windows mobile runs just fine on my device every single time. My cards read fine too. And even when trying to run an SD rom build, after haret starts up it cuts to the HTC logo and just hangs there too. And I am assuming that if it was my battery or my battery pins it would at least affect the phone generally and not only when trying to boot android.

Please, I really need help as this phone is practically useless to me now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Have you tried running a CLK build or just MAGLDR or SD builds?

As far as i know (sorry if this is nonsense :D ) the HD2 runs natively on ppp not on rmnet, magldr (and sd?) pushes something in the radio so that rmnet can be used, maybe something in that direction went wrong with your phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Well I have only been trying MAGLDR and SD roms but never CLK. Guess I can give that a shot. But assuming something weird is going on with my radio, shouldn't it have fixed itself considering the amount of radios I have used and the amount of task 29s I have done?

Thanks for the suggestion though, will give that a go today.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Well before i get flamed by those who know better, i would ask you to look for threads covering this topic, i.e. the difference between ppp and rmnet and which one is used with which one etc.

I have read in another forum that the hd2 runs natively with ppp, but magldr pushes something "in" the radio rom while booting, so the radio looks like a desire, so the android builds can run on rmnet...

Or something like that, what i have gathered from this is, that there is a difference and since it sounded like you were running out of options, i thought i´d propose installing a clk build :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Can you elaborate "formatting my SD cards" a little?

As in how, which tools, were was the partitioning done if any?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Sometimes boot loops occur when the battery pins are out of shape.

Make sure all your battery pins are aligned and see if that helps.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Looking into trying a CLK build now. Actually just finished downloading one.

Ok, i have a total of 3 SD cards. One 16GB, one 4GB and the last one 2GB. I have used both gParted and partition wizard. Did full 30 mins (approx) wipes on the cards and had them formatted to fat32. For the 16GB card I try that with the ext3/4 partions. Tried using both 4kB and 32KB cluster sizes.

And again, I had actually got android running on my phone before. And even tried different roms at that time so I have some idea what I am doing. I don't have any issues reading my cards either from a card reader or through the phone.

Yeah read about that, I have tried straightening my pins and all that but nothing changes. And I would think that if the pins are the issue then I would at least hav some issues running windows mobile 6.5 too. I have never had such issues running WM ever. Android on the other hand just refuses to run.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

The only thing I can think of is maybe some corrupt software along the way.

May I suggest using KSUBEDI's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him).

Run through the whole process using his toolkit.

It worked for me.

Start from

HSPL 2.08 HSPL

Task 29

Radio HERE

Magldr

CWM partition for the ROM you intend to use

ROM

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Just did all that (again). And exactly in that order. As always, it installs just fine but it always hangs on the android logo right after the go go go screen for about 20-30 secs then it restarts. Over and over again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

What ROM are you installing, and what CWM partition are you using?

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Didn´t mean to let it sound like you don´t know what you´re doing, just trying to narrow it down and the sd cards can be the culprit for so many bugs, so it was worth a shot :D

Especially the NAND partition used in flash.cfg would be interesting, maybe there´s something wrong with that, that would be consistent with the failure to boot, wouldn´t it?

Other than that, i have to admit, slowly but surely this leaves my area "of expertise" :D

I sure hope you get your phone running again! I´ll keep my fingers crossed!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
I am installing HyperDroidGBX-v12[GRI54-2.3.3][a2sd+][TytR8.3] and using the required 150mb partition size. I had got this very rom and RAFDROID rom (though with a 400mb partition) to work on my phone previously.

I also got the a couple of SD based roms to work on my device before nand roms became available now even those dont work too.

Just tried CLK for the first time and flashed the CLK version of the aforementioned rom. Been on the white HTC screen for about 10mins now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Trust me, no offense taken what so ever :).

I am aware that SD card errors could be the issue, but all three SD cards? even stranger since I have never used 2 of those 3 for any android install.

What really puzzles me though is that regardless of whatever issues i seem to be having... windows mobile runs just fine every single time. My only guess now may be that teher may be something wrong on the hardware side with how my SD card and phone syncs so something always goes wrong during the install. If that is the case the only possible solution would be if it was some how possible to install a rom directly from my PC without using an Sd card at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

That would mean making a DAF.exe file and install it the old fashioned way.

Sadly,beyond my level of expertise.

Good luck.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Sorry but i am at a loss for any further possible advice for you. I would propose the build i am using for you to install.

It installs with the according daf.exe and after that you can install the zip file via cwm. I never flashed another android build myself, what with all this nand partitioning (i have heard of it, but never had to set it up myself), so i don´t really know how the nand partitioning is done without daf.exe and the according flash.cfg file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Thanks, will try. I have given up though. been working on this thing for too long. Guess its time to buy the galaxy s2. I really loved this phone. And windows mobile just doesn't cut it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Just before you bin it,how have you been formatting the sd card?

Have a look at this:

"You should also properly format your sdcard with Panasonic SDFormatter (Full+Overwrite+size adjust). Then in recovery>advanced>sd partition (1GB+0MB swap) If you have a EU HD2 and need the extra data storage/rom requires it. "

Worth a shot.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fuuunkdat:
Dont give up!

Might be a long shot, But have you tried turning off your antivirus software during the installation? Ive seen a few of your posts about and i hope you get it to work again. Bet your sick of the sight of task29 lol :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
:) yeah I have tried that too. Still leaves me hanging at the android logo right after the go go go screen. Truth is that I have come to the conclusion that nothing i am doing will actually work. Cause all these things mentioned now I have already done and didn't even need to do half of them at one point when i was actually running android on my phone.

The fact that I cant even run the SD card builds of android just goes to show that something must be very wrong with my phone now. It could be battery related or something but that doesn't make sense either cause WinMO 6.5 roms work fine every singel time.

I just dont get it really.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lorddeff07:
Lol.... you have no idea lol :)

Its sad no doubt, but I am actually happy for the amount of help offered by a lot of ppl here in the xda community.

So at least I am taking it all in good spirits. Oh, I have probably tried that at one point too....

The only thing I can think of now is to flash my HSPL back to spl 1.66 and revert back to factory setting, then try and reflsah the 2.08 HSPL. Though I dont know what difference taht will make considering how many times i have reflsahed the very same 2.08 HSPL so at least i know I have a clean fresh one on my phone now lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
Not saying it will work, or you haven't already tried but as your willing to try things out try the rom in my signature Typhoon, and re download the task29 etc that are on the typhoon thread in the order they are posted, and also download the clockwork mod recovery that is also posted on the site, get minitool partition wizard and SD formater, put your sd card in reader, do a full format which will take around half an hour to 40 mins, open minitool re partition the sd card Ext4 1GB, REFLASH YOUR ROM... see what the results are

good luck
