I've been using youmail forever. I didn't like how Google voice did my phone calls and texts. Youmail is the ****.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] KaLiBLeeK:
I haven't used YouMail since I had a BlackBerry back in 2008. Haha.

Do they still charge for voicemail transcription? Because that would be the dealbreaker for me. Even if Google Voice does a poor job transcribing...it's free.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] steviee7:
No.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paleryder:
You mail seems to be the pre cursor to voice, it works well but they do charge for transcriptions
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] oubravs2b:
Left for youmail months ago and haven't looked back. Voice integration with sprint was horrible (no mms killed it). Love you mail, but do miss the transcription.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fergie716:
Sprint Integration is optional. When you first set up GV just press "skip" and use GV for voicemail only. If you already did the integration, goto google.com/voice and cancel the integration and start over
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paleryder:
I have 2 quick questions about gvoice. When I recieve a voicemail and go to the phone app it is in the inbox and the voicemail folder as well is this correct?

also im getting voicemails that are unable to be transcribed also is this also to be expected ? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cresco299:
I've searched and search and found nothing, so I need a little help with this one.

On my computer I run portable apps from a flash drive. I also like to connect my Android phone. The problem I have is that while either one works swell by itself, the computer fails to recognize one or the other when both are plugged in at the same time. Preference is always given to the device that is plugged in first.

As I'm always using my flash drive, it's a hassle to disconnect it just to plug in my phone. And it's even more irritating to know that I can't access my portable apps as long as my phone is connected. The best I can do so far is to plug the phone in and choose charge only which allows XP to see it as an Android ADB device. This assigns drive letters to the multiple drives android uses, but all drives are listed as being empty. I should also note that I do have a printer connected via USB but I never have any problems with it.

What I've tried to fix the problem:

-Utilize the USB ports in the rear of the computer - No Luck

-Manually assigning drive letters - No Luck

-Search for alternative driver for Flash Drive - No Luck

-Downloaded HTC SYNC for an alternative driver to my phone - No Luck

-Downloaded and "Unsuccessfully" attempted to install Android SDK USB driver. - I don't know if this would have solved the problem or not but the installation of SDK never seems to give me the driver the phone is looking for.

So I'm at a loss as to whether or not there is a fix to my problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Computer - XP SP3 / Pent 4

FlashDrive - 8Gig Corsair Voyager

Phone: Rooted HTC Incredible running Synergy RC1 ( I throw this in there just for an FYI but the problem was present on other ROMS I've tried so I'm not led to believe it's a Rom issue)

I'm not sure if this is a Phone issue, or a computer issue so I've cross posted this with the folks over at Tech Guy Support
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cresco299:
MOD - Problem Solved please feel free to delete if you don't think it's useful to keep this around.

Problem was solved (Credit to Rockn over at Tech Guy Support). My PC is underpowered to run my USB devices. I plugged the phone into a Powered USB Hub and it works perfectly now.

okay so here is my issue i flash 1.5 and ill get lots of FC's at the begging get past that try to install the Fix but it will not recognize the OC kernel or the fix

i put them in the place designated /.upgrade/directory and /data/UrukUpdate and i just bootloop everytime i put them in their how do i fix this? any ideas? ive did this thru open SSH and USB and neither are working any advice is appreciated thanks guys hope we can get this figured out
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gersto:
don't know what to tell ya about the FCs, mines been rock solid thus far. Extract the kernel files from the OC package and flash them directly using the Archos SDE menu. That's what I had to do as it would not install via the methods you tried either.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franzferdinan51:
Wouldn't that make it re install uruk droid I fixed the force close problem by starting at 1.0 then just using the update but most of my apps don't work and force close almost immediately
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gersto:
If you are flashing the OC kernel no it wont reinstall UD because its the actual kernel you are flashing not a setup routine. If you are still getting FCs id recommend redownloading the 1.5 install package again, do a fresh install, then flash the OC kernel directly afterwards once you verify everything is stable.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yinxzon:
just wondering:

can all android devices with a sim card slot be hacked to have the phone function, for ex, the acer iconia a500? or is it only certain 7 inch android tabs such as samsung galaxy tab 7?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurocutie:
bit of a strange question... an iPad can have a SIM but cannot be hacked to have a phone function (no mic for one). It is clear that it is possible to build an Android device with a SIM, but not all the hardware required for a phone to work. The Acer A500 certainly looks like it would have what is needed...

You guys Probably Didnt have a look at this.. Its even cheaper than our Desire...:D

The Xiaomi Phone packs stunning amounts of power for its price - a Qualcomm 8260 Snapdragon chipset with a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, Adreno 220 graphics and 1GB of RAM. The battery packs plenty of juice, 1930mAh to be precise. That should be enough for two days of real life usage (real real life Xiaomi say).

In my opinion maybe it's better wait the next generation phones based on Ice Cream Sandwhich (2.4?)
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Ice Cream Sandwich is version 4 and not 2.4. Honeycomb is version 3.

Yeah i know that honeycomb is 3 lol, but heard also some rumors about 2.4 as Ice Cream..Honeycomb is an exception (tablet only)..But probably u are right..we will see

Woah, this phones pretty amazing for the price! 8mp camera to on it! and a really fast processor on it! 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM! Woah. Although my worry is for that price is it all really up to all good quality? Eg like is the camera any good and touchscreen and that.

[Desire General] ujjwal321:
amazing

you can get 2.5 xiaomi phones for the price of a galaxy s II with similar specs ( except for a 1.5ghz processor vs 1.2 ghz).. how cool is that?? value for money is definetely an understatement.. I mean even galaxy ace costs more than this beast.. 800 mhz vs 1.5ghz dual core.. that is 800*4=3200.. so nearly 4 times the speed, 4 times the RAM, 8 times the ROM, 1.5 times the battery, 2 times the resolution.. value for money has a new meaning now..

[Desire General] alien.46.uk:
Hotmid seems reliable ...

Been around a while ... Good amount of blog data and youtube data. Lots of good reviews online when they send out tablets etc ...

I'm tempted to order from there.

Been watching this phone for a while. Huawei are bringing out almost identical spec for less but no ETA and probably much lower quality!

These are Foxconn made and show to be rather well made!

Also, they arn't shipping anything until released (pre-order) so no worries on the fakes front lol ...

The GPS signal is free. :cool: There are plenty of free gps apps too, so it's all free as the breeze.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasin12:
Ummmm the best option would be to download a offline gps navigation app because you dont have 3g. Do a google search for something along the lines of 'best offline gps app for tablets'. Some of the apps cost though but its not very much
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selection16:
It depends on your needs. Navigation I take it? Google Maps is the best I've found but you do need a net connection for the navigation part. I have a Nook Color (no 3g either) and use a mobile wifi modem. You can also tether your phone for internet access I believe.

If you have no internet and don't need navigation, ie: you're happy to just see your point moving along maps which you've stored on the device, Google Maps lets you cache map areas and do this to some degree. Locus is worth a try too.

And yasin covered the "no internet but do want navigation" angle. I haven't tried any of those.

Hope that makes sense!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
I've used OSMand a couple of times and while they offer a paid version now, the free version still works very well. It lets you download maps for offline use while you're connected via Wifi. Only problem: Routing doesn't work while you're offline.
[HTC Inspire 4G] f308gt4:
I will be travelling to Europe in the next few weeks, and have some questions about using my inspire.

I have already unlocked my phone by calling AT&T and getting the code, then inserting another SIM, and entering the code. So I am good to go in that regard.

When I get to Europe, I just buy a SIM card and put it in the phone, which will allow me to make calls. What about overseas calls?

What about data? Do the SIM cards allow you to access data? Will I get 4G, or be restricted to Edge?

Honestly, I am more interested in Data than voice, as I am more likely to send/receive e-mails that call.

Would I be better off signing up temporarility with one of the AT&T international plans?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bluizzo:
Research the area you are going and find which the carriers are and see who's related to who. If you find a carrier thats somewhat related to att you may get 3g or 4g, but T-Mobile you'll get edge. Also call or get in contact with carrier and see what they have, dunno how it works overseas cuz i never really been overseas with my phone. Hope it helps and if anyone see anything I mentioned that's wrong you're welcome to A) correct me and B) call me mean evil names =D

[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Bluizzo you ninja turtle you. Lol just a slight correction. Europe uses different bands than us. So no 3g, just good old edge. Though I think I saw someone post that their country used our bands somewhere. But generally they use the 900/2100 for 3g.

I would get a prepaid sim from a euoropean carrier. They have way better deals that put our prices to shame.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bluizzo:
Lol hey I was close shweet jebus

[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:

[HTC Inspire 4G] f308gt4:
Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be picking up a SIM when I get there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyclingmike:
Hopefully my reply is not too late.....

I have been travelling to London for work for the last several months and have used O2 as the carrier on my Inspire. I was able to get a pay as you go SIM with a data plan. You will need to manually enter the APN information get the data and MMS working properly. I found the APN info by doing a web search.

And yes the service was Edge and not 3G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] f308gt4:
THANKS!!! I am in Ireland, and picked up a vodafone SIM card. Could get voice, but not data. Did a web search for APN, and found the APN on the vodafone site. Now I've got working internet. It is EDGE (I've got a G with up/down arrows), but is fine for what I need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
EDGE should be an "E". "G" is GPRS which is like 1G or worse, but hey, if it works for you, then great, but you should be able to get EDGE with the proper APN.
[HTC Inspire 4G] f308gt4:
Can't seem to get EDGE, just the G. Which is OK, since all I am doing is checking e-mails.

However, my battery life has improved dramatically. I don't even need the powerskin case here. Battery lasts all day, no problem.

It's incredible how much battery is used by a fast network.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Indeed. Especially if it needs to boost the radio for reception. I was camping a few months back on the fringe of coverage area. The first day, I left mobile networks on and it kept going in and out of coverage and my battery was dead within about 14 hours. The next day, with a fresh charge from my car, I turned off mobile networks and I still had 80% battery by the end of the day.

I just flashed synergy rom on evo 3d. I think something is not rite though. I am only hitting 2100 on benchmark and under system information I show my processor as ARMv7 Processor rev 2(v71) it showes cores : 1 I am thinking their should be 2 cores. Am I missing something?

Yes. LOL A just followed step to flash today's update.
[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
Are you using the default system resource to see the cores or using a aftermarket app?

Did you just root before or coming from another rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] gbeal10:
In my default system hardware I show the right processor but in quadrant its a messed up I came from Viper rom with test kernel 5
[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
In Quadrant mine says the same thing. Try setting your OC a little lower than the highest setting you can achieve. Also make set DConfig to "Performance" (maybe just for benchmarking purpose).

Benchscores are subjective and do not reflect real-world applications so worry if you do no get high scores. Many of us don't.

If you can finalize settings that result in lag-free operation and good battery life, this is ideal...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggie cheeks:
Hmm. If and when it comes, could someone tell me what will happen for the s-off diNK? I've read weird stories in the past about excepting ota's while running a rom. Maybe we no get but if it does come in the notifications what should I do? Thanks in advance:)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
If you're running any of the latest ROMs, most developers removed the notification for the OTA. Don't accept it, as it won't install. In order to get it, you'd need to be S-ON and running the official VZW 2.2 stock ROM. They are releasing the OTA in small batches at first, then more and more over the next week here. You will lose root, and currently there is no gaining root back if you accept the OTA. You'd need to wait for Unrevoked or AlphaRev to gain the root exploit for it.

You're best bet: wait for a developer to put together a flashable zip of the official OTA when it comes out, and they get their hands on it. You keep root, and have the official release all in one nice zip.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badogg:
This might be mis-information as I have read several posts about NOT putting S-ON back. Basically leave it as S-OFF, do the OTA, then reload custom recovery and superuser.

At this point being that I've read both, I'm just going to wait until I see what other's are experiencing with their rooted phones. I don't want to lose root, and there are already a ton of Gingerbread ROM's out there if I want one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm not seeing how that would work because the kernel lacks root. You could install SU, but it won't do anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I've seen the same thing too. But going back to stock 2.2 you need to first S-ON then either RUU or PB31IMG.zip, you can't just run the RUU or PB31IMG.zip file with S-OFF. I would think that the OTA would check that security flag to make sure it's S-ON before flashing, and error out/not update if you're S-OFF.

Maybe I am wrong, but waiting never hurts! Someone will get a flashable zip of the OTA, so there's no need to risk losing root over it. Chances are the flashable OTA zip will be available the same day the OTA drops, whenever that'll happen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badogg:
Yep! Exactly why I'm waiting to see what happens with other people who are willing to try it. ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggie cheeks:
Waiting for dev build seems like best/safest/easiest route. Patience wins again. Thanks for replies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribbey:
to be honest i wouldnt even worry about the update if your rooted i would just let the devs do their thing and run a better version of 2.3.4 every dev will most likly use it as the base anyways.. also youll have to wait for root if you update and there probably wont be a way to downgrade android after you instal the OTA
