I am new to all this and completely lost. I am trying to be able to access adb shell through command prompt. I have done everything here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=500196

And it still doesn't work. I'm lost. :( I'm not sure where it was downloaded to. I can find it in my program files under Android. But when I try to put C:\android... it doesn't actually come up. But if I go to explore and go find it, it is... so I think maybe the path isn't set up the same or something. i dunno. I dont get it lol.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks,

Hi,

So after you downloaded the zip file did you unzip / install it? as you will need to unzip the file. So for example you may have downloaded it to your download folder so double click the zip and unzip. The you should see a Android folder like "android-sdk-windows".

Once you know where it is you can then either add this to the envrioment varables or could can navigate to the adb program via the command prompt and run it there.

I.e. cd C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\

then type adb shell

There is a guide here: - http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

So have a look in your C drive (Go to My computer, C drive) then look for a folder called "android-sdk-windows"

C:\android-sdk-windows

It works flawlessly, with no slowness etc. My phone is on stock rom, and unrooted.

The only thing I don't like is that you also get notifications for sms, even though I prefer the stock sms app, so I end up with double sms notifications. I consider it a small price, since I've been dying to have a good visual voicemail app for a LONG time.

I have used google voice in the past, but had several annoying issues with it, and honestly just didn't like it.

Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I had already thought of that, but the problem is that if I turn off the messaging notification, it disables the slide to missed text on the lock screen, which I love.

When you set up google voice, you tell it when to use google voice to make calls, and then it uses it from the dialer, like a regular call. One option is to "Ask every time I make a call" so you could start with that to make sure it's working, and then go under the settings in Voice to change it to what you want.

Send an SMS with Menu->Compose from within the GV app.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

BTW, once you start using GV for your voice mail, you can go into the google voice settings from your computer via browser, and set up groups. Then you can set different voicemail messages to be played based on which group the caller is in.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

I'm still thinking that's the problem. I connected another gmail account to my phone, and when I tried to set up google voice to use that account instead, the setup options were very different than when I connect to my account that already has a google voice number. I didn't go all the way through the setup, because I don't want to set my phone up to go there for voicemail, but I'm thinking that that is the difference.

What do you get at http://voice.google.com/ on your computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I think I see what you are saying. If I go there (link you provided) on my phone I see my google voice inbox. If I select settings it says "My Mobile Number: Not Selected", if I click in that I get two radio buttons, one with my att number (selected) and one with my email address.

I'm afraid to mess with this setting incase it messes anything up. But, I think that may be why I cannot calls through the app.

What is the benefit to using Google voice to make calls? Doesn't it still use minutes?

Sent from my SGS II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jetarpon:
Yes, and it has the disadvantage of using anytime/N&W minutes instead of mobile-to-mobile minutes.

If you are someone that has a google voice number that forwards to multiple places (phone, home, computer) and that's the number you want your calls to appear to be coming from, then you would want to have it make calls using google voice so that it has the right caller ID. Or, if you are using GV for texting and want both your phone and texts to come from the same number.

I have mine set to not use GV except for international calls (which I never make).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
I still got nothing. gv looks to be set up correctly. This also happened on my last phone too. Maybe an account problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Well, I figured out the reason behind the Google Voice SMS and calling options that were missing on my account. I'm posting in case it helps someone...

I had an old school Google Voice number, back when they were all 916 #'s. This was a crippled number that could only do voicemail.

Basically, I had to log on to voice.google.com and go to Settings -> Request a new phone number. After a few minutes of trying to find an available number in my area code, my account was upgraded.

After a screen refresh, the voice.google.com website now has a "TEXT" button next to the "CALL" button, which was missing before. Within a few seconds, my phone alerted me that it has added a new phone number to my account, and now I have the option to send text messages from the Android application.

Google should at least tell you that your account is crippled. Since I was always missing all SMS options in the app and on the website, I thought I was going insane, trying to figure out what everyone was talking about...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
When you first setup your GV, there are two options: one without google voice number, one with a gv number. You need the second option (with a GV number) in order to send and receive text. You will not be able to send receive text from your cell number using GV unless you port your number to google.

This may have been true previously, but its obvious now that BES and similar services have been compromised due to the recent messaging debacle. As far as the States are concerned, Blackberry is toast. Certain third world countries will most likely continue to use BB for BBM, and for the ability to purchase older devices at a much lower rate.

As far as business is concerned, Android is taking over! The low price of the devices and business functionality has surpassed blackberry by far. The only reason for small business to stick with BB is for BES, which isn't anything fantastic to begin with. When your encryption becomes seriously compromised, why go out of the way for it?
