[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenchi71:
I just went through this a couple of times this past year. Went from two full contracts with iPhones to an Atrix and then the Focus... I LOVED Visual Voice Mail, thought it was one of the several "killer apps" rolled into iOS from the get go, and so I miss this seamless experience dearly.

Can't do it using ATT's Visual Voice Mail system. The phone reports it's model info to ATT. If you left your account alone and just move your SIM from an iPhone to an Android or WP7 phone, you loose the ability to use VVM. Move that sim back to your iPhone, and VVM works again. All you need to do to see this is log on to attwireless.com after you move your sim, and you'll see that the device reported has changed.

Right now, the only phones that can access ATT's VVM are iPhones and BlackBerry devices. Nothing we can do about that other than complain. I tried calling ATT about this, but nothing the CSRs can do about it. We have to wait for ATT to flip the switch.

Now Andoid phones have a real option... using Google Voice for VVM. And I have to tell you, it's killer on those devices, and almost as seemless as ATT VVM on the iPhone! I'm still using it on my Focus for my VVM needs. Unfortunately, none of the GV VVM WP7 apps work anywhere as well as what Google has rolled into Android. It's a very disjointed experience. The only hope would be for Google making a killer GV app for WP7. If ever.

An better option would be MS rolling in FULL GV or any third party VVM support into the OS, which is highly doubtful. I can see MS releasing their own, and at first, most likely inferior GV competitor.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I have never used VVM before and it works beautifully on my T-mobile HD7 :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
I'm kind of lost here, can someone clear this up for me ?

My Carrier, VerizonWireless in the US, does support Visual Voicemail, I had it for a while on WM 6.5 (Touch Pro 2) and my wife has it on her Verizon iPhoney.

It does not show under Settings>Applications>Phone on my HTC Trophy running Mango beta (it's currently not enabled on my account because the app sucked under 6.5)

Is this a just disabled for this phone or do I have to enable it via my carrier for it to show up ? Or is there something else I am missing here ?

I'd like to see how it's done built into mango and if I have to call them to enable it (can't see the setting on-line), I'll give it a shot.

Anyone know for sure ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elitemikes:
I am wondering the same, although google voice with goVoice is working good enough for now
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Not going too far off topic (I really want to know about Verizon/VV) but, I have been using "Free Talk" for google Voice calls on WP7 (verizon, fav 5, google voice as one of my favs=free calls outgoing and incoming), is goVoice that much better ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenchi71:
I'm not 100% sure about Verizon. From what I've seen on the boards, basically three things need to happen:

1) Your carrier must support their VVM on WP7 specifically.

2) You must have VVM enabled on your account.

3) You must enable VVM on your Mango phone to use VVM.

If your carrier supports VVM on Mango, AND you enabled VVM use for your account, then it should appear as an option under phone setting somewhere for you to turn on. If your carrier doesn't support WP7 VVM.... then you're out of luck.

In my case... even though ATT has VVM, they don't support it on WP7 devices. BlackBerry and iPhone only please... So while I'm using my Focus or Atrix, I can't turn on or add ATT's VVM service on my account, online or over the phone. Since I can't turn it on at the account level, I don't see the option in my phone settings.

To use Google Voice as your VVM, the setup is completely different and requires a third party app to use properly. And currently, this experience isn't very seamless.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Ok, I called up Verizon, they said they DO support VVM under Windows Phone 7, so I said, Windows Phone 7 supports Visual Voicemail in the OS (other people confirmed that), so I said I wanted to see how the interface was for the metro IU of WP7. He enabled the feature, about 10 min later, no option in Settings>app>Phone.

Only thing that they did was attempt to point me to their site to download a 3rd party app for WP7, I told him to forget it.

No Go for Verizon Wireless HTC Trophy with mango (unless it can be turned on in the registry or something but, I would need to unlock to even do that)

If anyone else has luck, post back...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Its also possible that since this is a beta, that VVM may only be working for specific carriers and don't support them all yet (even if those carriers support visual voice mail). It could also just be broken entirely on your phone and you may need to do a hard reset to really get it working. So far, I haven't read anyone from Verizon having any success with VVM. Sorry.

Clearly the person at Verizon you were talking to had no idea what he was talking about.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
hahha, That is nothing new...I've been with them almost 11 years now and I could almost write a book on how many reasons why you SHOULD NOT be a Verizon customer

Anyway, if anyone has it up and running would love to see images on what it looks like.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
You'll need to clarify, you can't get your homebrew app to work with VVM on Mango or you can't get the built-in WP7 Mango VVM feature to work?

VVM is working on my HD7

Guyz.. I'm on T-Mobile USA HD7 and my Visual Voice mail is working just fine.

All I did was went into my account on T-Mobile.com and enabled VVM for my number. It is basically free with T-Mobile USA.

Once I enabled the feature I gave it an hour or so, and enabled it on the device phone settings.

BAM... All my saved messages are downloaded on to my device with the Play symbol before the number.

AWESOME! Just wanted to share my experience.

Were you able to get visual vm to work on Mango. I've enabled it on my T-Mo USA acct but it still fails to provision on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VizagDude:
Yes, its working fine for me. In the phone app, I have History with all my call logs and you pan over to the right, I have Voice Mail with all the saved and new VMs. It shows up the numbers or names I have VMs from, with the play button to the left of each #.

Make sure your VVM feature is activated for sure

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Awsome interface, fits right into Windows Phone 7 perfectly.

Just wish there was a way to manually turn it on (via registry or something) once enabled by verizon...

BTW. Verizon Wiress wants $2.99 a month for Visual Voice mail. I asked them if they were nuts.

Nope. I still don't see the option on T-Mobile Germany :(

I really want VVM!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjxg:
Yea, I'm hoping VZW gets on the ball and starts supporting VVM for Windows Phone now that it's on there. If they want WP7 phones to start selling, I think this will be a huge selling point for those who enjoy the VVM on the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yipcanjo:
Looking for any suggestions...

- LG Optimus 7

- T-Mobile USA network

- Mango 7712 build

- Visual Voicemail enabled on my account *and* on the phone

Basically, it appears that my visual voicemail is configured properly, but I never hear any audio when I play a message from the visual voicemail interface. The blue bar scrolls like the audio is playing, but no sound comes out -- via the earpiece, speaker, or on bluetooth. Strange. The voicemails are fine when I manually call the T-Mo voicemail number.

Thoughts? I'm guessing that a "hard reset" is my best/first option?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devGOD:
everyone who has Visual Voice Mail working with Tmobile do you have a pin set on you voicemail account? I have visual Voice Mail on my account but it's not working on my phone
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yipcanjo:
Did you do a straight upgrade to 7712 (Mango RC), or did you do a hard reset? Does yours do the same thing as mine: basically "plays" but with no sound??

I don't think I have a PIN for my voicemail -- maybe I do -- but usually it bypasses that stuff when coming from the associated IMEI#.

Anyhow, I'm about ready to try a hard reset and see if that works. Ugh :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
IS it possable to enable VVM on the phone on a phone that does not support it ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yipcanjo:
I'm not sure what you mean. In this case, the newer builds of Mango support visual voicemail, not the phone itself. That doesn't really matter.

If you're referring to "enable vvm on a network that doesn't support it", then NO.... I don't believe so.

Personally, I would love to see VVM support for 3rd party providers like YouMail, etc.. That would be *AWESOME*.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yipcanjo:
Upgraded to 7720 (retail Mango) and performed a Hard Reset on my phone. Still unable to "hear" any voicemails that I play thru the visual voicemail interface. Otherwise, the phone appears to be support visual voicemail normally.

Anyone else?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Well, they haven't announced anything yet. So neither a yes or no as of yet. Plus, I'm sure they'd only announce it once they have Mango ready for their WP7 devices and not sooner.

That only means we gotta wait another year. Joy.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Exactly. Considering how long it took AT&T to "certify" an update as small as NoDo, I can't even begin to imagine how long it will take them to approve Mango.

AT&T users just might get Mango about the time most other people start getting Apollo.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimmo2:
Inverse problem

So I have a complex VVM issue on Mango.

Before installing Mango, I used to get SMS notifications when any of the following happen:

1. Someone leaves me a voicemail message.

2. Someone calls, is diverted to my voicemail but hangs up before the beep so they don't get to leave a message.

Since installing Mango, I no longer get the first notification, but the second one works fine. First I thought it was a carrier (Telstra) issue, I called them and they reset my voicemail service multiple times. Then it occured to me that it could be to do with VVM.

Telstra don't officially support VVM on ANY DEVICE.. even on the iPhone.. but they have said that they are working towards offering it eventually.

Could it be that my phone has reported to the carrier that it is capable of VVM and hence the notifications have been turned off? If so, how do I enable VVM on my phone, even if through a 3rd party app..

I tested this by taking my sim card out and into a HTC Touchpro 2 and immediately started getting both notification types.

I now have to manually call the voicemail number a few times a day to check if i have any voicemail messages, otherwise I wouldn't know.

I have T-MO US ad this was working perfectly for me in the beta build. After the update to RTM it stopped working. SUUUUCCKKS!!! Im gonna try a hard reset now. Will report back.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamburg:
Interesting... I have 7720 on my HD2 and it doesnt work. I was thinking it might be a problem with the HD2... now I'm starting to think that its an issue with the 7720 build. I wish I tested it while I had the 7712 build, but I'm not going back at this point. Too much work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dannstarr:
Ok, so I've a newly installed 64bit ubuntu, and I've just downloaded the android SDK.

I managed to run the "android command the first time round whereby I successfully downloaded android versions 2.3+

I was very clever and did this through the terminal, by going in to my android SDK directory, and then tools (for me cd /android/tools)

and then I typed android, and the gui came up..... all good.

I then decided I needed to add this directory to my path, I did some jiggery pokery here, not too much, but I cant say exactly what I did, but now, when I try to run the android command, from the correct directory all I get is the following:

dan@dan-HP-Pavilion-dm1-Notebook-PC:~/android/tools$ dir
adb_has_moved.txt dmtracedump	hprof-conv	NOTICE.txt	zipalign
android	draw9patch	layoutopt	proguard
ant	emulator	lib	source.properties
apkbuilder	etc1tool	mksdcard	sqlite3
ddms	hierarchyviewer monkeyrunner traceview
dan@dan-HP-Pavilion-dm1-Notebook-PC:~/android/tools$ android
android: command not found

I know this must be down to some kind of path error, but i'm lost as to how to correct it. I've googled all over, but every explanation seems geared towards someone with more linux knowledge than mine. Please may someone explain really simply how I fix this? thanks

So currently I'm using Nameless v4 on my Fascinate, before that was the GB Leak, so far I haven't had any SD card issues, but I've been diligent keeping it backed up. I'm loving the Go Launcher on Nameless, so I'm wondering if it's possible to use other Launchers on custom ROMs? Mainly, I'd love to use it on CM7, instead of the default Launcher.

[HTC Sensation] heq78:
I've owned my T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G for about 10 days and I've noticed that the Google Maps Navigation does not completely speak the turn by turn directions through my bluetooth headset (Jawbone Icon) when connected. For example, if a diretion is supposed to be: "Take Exit 148 in 1,000 feet" all that I will hear is about 1/2 the sentence: "in 1,000 ft". This happens all the time when the Sensation 4G is connected via bluetooth. It happened to me the 1st time I used it and it happens all the time at every turn voice prompt.

When the navigation is through the speaker phone, it speaks the complete directions just fine. However, I use my bluetooth most of the time while driving because in Washington State it is illegal to drive while talking on your cell phone, unless you have a bluetooth.

Is this issue just with the HTC Sensation 4G? My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the Google Maps Navigiation directions worked fine with my same Bluetooth headset. I've tried a phone restore and I also updated the Google Maps app (6/30/11) and I am still experiencing these turn by turn bugs via bluetooth. Anybody else experience this or can anyone please test the Google Maps Navigation with their headset?
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
Out of curiosity, is it the same voice? You may want to try re-installing the text to speak app.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
The device is establishing an a2dp connection which takes a second or two. This causes the start of the directions to be missed. This is designed to save power by only connecting when audio is played. One workaround is to play music through Bluetooth from the player in the background. Music will be silenced while the directions are announced.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
What he said. By default it appears to want to use the telenav lady voice. I had to install/update the e-speak app for it to work properly.
[HTC Sensation] heq78:
Thanks for the reply. I did notice that when I played music through Pandora that the Turn by Turn directions did speak just fine. I just find it annoying that the start of the directions are missed on the Sensation 4G when it worked just fine on my Galaxy S 4G.

The voice I hear is the same and it is the lady.

As for the post that said to try and reinstall the TTS. I only have Pico TTS on my phone and I couldn't find the option to uninstall it. I looked in settings & applications and also in the Market under My app, but it doesn't show up. I'll give eSpeak a try tonight on my way home to see if that works.
