[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
Actually, my understanding is for Hangouts to use Google Voice for calls and/or messages you still need the GV app installed and logged in.

Agree on Google's lack of support. It is platform wide, they just do the in favor and out of favor thing too much. If/when they kill GV I will be killing my g-apps and moving to O365 anyways, only reason I use Google-sphere extensively is GV. Everything else can be gotten elsewhere and is generally better elsewhere at that.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juggz143:
I had actually uninstalled the GV app a few hours before we were talking about this, been working fine for a few days now.

I still don't like being locked into the hangouts app exclusively tho but hey it works ?.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] cloudybw:
I have Mi Note 2 Global Edition with stock ROM MIUI 8.0.13. Using phone dialer with Voice+ app to initiate call back doesn't work either:(

Of course I can call using Hangout with data, but I prefer call via cellular tower due to sound quality and price (free incoming call). I have found a workaround:

(1) Open google.com/voice with browser (such as chrome) on the phone. It should be redirected to mobile version.

(2) Specify a callback #

(3) Call a # using the dialer in the browser

After (3), it will initiate a callback to the # in (2) :D

add me to the club...picked up the Mate 9 yesterday and now, not being able to use GV on the Mate 9 is a show-stopper for me. this is a great phone, but i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to dependent on my GV number.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Thorin78:
I "migrated" over to Google Hangouts for my GV #. I've downloaded Hangouts dialer app and it's linked to the GV #. I'm able to call from the Hangouts dialer no problems.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
Thanks for the suggestion...Just tried this out and it seems to work well. Do you know if this is a VOIP call or cell call? I can at least test for 2 weeks with this option...[emoji106]
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Thorin78:
sure, glad to help. It should be a VOIP call. You'll note that it says that you're calling from your VOIP number. Check the settings in hangouts on which default number it uses. Also, if you switch over to hangouts for texting, you might notice your contacts not "syncing". That's actually not what's going on, it's just the way the phone is reading the stored numbers. If you have questions, I can put in the steps to get that converted fairly painlessly.

I have other issues w/ google on how it's handling hangouts in the past and future. When they abandoned GV, hangouts was the only place to go for the VOIP #. Messenger, Duo and Allo do not have integration w/ the GV #. Hangouts used to be better. But you don't have a hangouts web portal (only for text and MMS) to put in a phone number and have it call you at your cell or elsewhere. But the GV portal is still available for the time being.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
thanks again for your feedback. i've been using Hangouts for everything that it can be used for except Hangouts dialer. now that i have this workaround, the Mate 9 will be my daily driver for the next 2 weeks. the least of my concerns will be battery life. appreciate your replies to my slightly off topic questions, :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
Why not switch to GV in hangouts? It is better in every regard... and you can use the hangouts dialer.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
I do to an extent as I have too. But Hangouts is annoying in a few ways, that is why it failed and is being retooled as Enterprise app.

Hangouts Dialer Report

So I've been using the Hangouts dialer for both incoming and outgoing phone calls. I have an unlimited data plan (Well, not technically, but Straight Talk fails to tally data usage properly, and as such one can expect to download many gigabytes of data with ST reporting some number of MB's used), so I'm unconcerned with data usage. LTE makes crystal clear VOIP calls, and obviously, WiFi makes for great VOIP calls.

Personally I prefer the quality of phone calls made with Hangouts with this phone's piezoelectric audio delivery. Additionally, whenever I'd phone home, on all of my previous phones (with which I'd use GV outbound dialing, and phone forwarding for incoming calls), my mother would ALWAYS complain about my voice quality (and how quiet I sounded). However, using the Mix with Hangouts Dialer, actually garnered praise from her on multiple occasions ("I can hear you so much better").
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
the problem still in the newest UE rom v7.1.19 but somewhat fix. the newer version does work even with the xposed google app, it even wakes up the phone when the screen is off but it wont initiate unless the phone it's unlocked, better than before though, just waiting for it to work as intended.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
New Google Voice app, seems to work better, though not perfectly. Sure is nice to have some GV love!

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Thorin78:
Looks like the Goog is trying to breathe life back into GV and steering people away from hangouts. So who knows. I wish GV would use GPS location to determine when certain phones ring. I like the fact that there's a schedule, but if I'm out of office, it would be great to have GV automatically disable ringing my office phone.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juggz143:
Hey guys I got Google voice to work properly.

I just wanted to point out that after upgrading to the EU 7.1.19 rom I can install Google phone and Google contacts from the play store (these 2 apps didn't show up for me b4).

Once installed go into settings>apps>default apps and set Google phone as your default dialer and then...

You can set Google voice to "use with all calls" again.

It should work as intended now!

Then remember to use the Google phone icon and not the original phone icon and you're all set.[emoji6]

Hope this works for others

Unfortunately this method only worked for about a day or so, trying to figure out if I changed something to break it or what...

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] sohampratap:
Is the rooting process and flashing a custom recovery similar to that of OnePlus 3. If not how do I root and flash TWRP on OnePlus 3T
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] someone0:
The process itself should be the same, but the question at the moment is whether the recovery and ROM are cross compatible. Since most people here won't get their hand on it until at least tomorrow or next Monday/Tuesday, I think it's a mute point to speculate at this point.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] LMcR92:
Well don't hold the device as of yet but I suppose so, once we have a TWRP recovery (OP3 version may be compatible). Step's probably be unlock the bootloader, boot into fast boot flash recovery.img then boot into recovery (backup optional) and flash SuperSU. I see there is a tool to do this on the OP3 forum so not sure if it will work on the T.

Lenovo K4 Note: Rooted

Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2

Android Version: 6.0

Stock Rom

a7010a48_s219_160810_row

I want to encrypt my phone, but when I do it nothing happens. Screen goes black, I waited for 5hrs .. still black screen.

I rebooted normally & saw in settings that device is not encrypted.

I am guessing this is happening because of TWRP.

Can anyone please upload stock recovery for above mentioned Android version?

Thank You.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skng:
Just want to see if the design engineers at HTC read these forums...

The universal is pretty much perfect for what I use it for.

- video

- music

- ebook

- Internet (including streaming youtube over UMTS, nice!)

- a bit of gaming (scummvm is great with it's bigger screen)

I don't use it as a day to day phone as it's too big to carry in most occasions. I prefer to carry a small phone and use it as a phone!

My feature wish list for the Universal successor is:

-The look of the Omni rendered picture (perhaps thinner)

-Don't make it too much big than Universal please!!!

-3.5 to 4.0 (absolute max!) inch screen (I think 3.7 is ideal)

-VGA to WVGA resolution (VGA is good enough, iphone only has half-VGA!)

-HSDPA (should be easy)

-Full size SD slot (I don't understand why they keep using micro SD, you don't save much space on a 4.0 inch PDA!)

-3.5mm stereo audio (no 2.5mm, no USB!)

-Built-in GPS

-wifi and bluetooth (should be standard anyway)

-Physical Keyboard (obviously)

-Half decent cameras will do

-USB host

- Video out (maybe, not a big deal)

- Make sure it doesn't need a different cover for extended battery please! (should see how Toshiba e800 does it)

So basically, just a bit better than Universal, not exactly hard, is it?

With that, why would I (and people who like to use their pda to the fullest potential) want an iphone, even if it has 3G radio next year???

Just imagine with a couple of SDHC cards, you have the ultimate mobile and entertainment device!

I do hope HTC read these forums from time to time...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] akpe:
Although I doubt it will happen, I'm still looking forward to the Universal successor.

Now, What I thing should be changed? Lots of things:

Built in GPS: prefferably SiRF Star III

256MB storage/128MB of RAM: /me drools

WiFi b/g support, bluetooth 2.0 support

2/3MP camera

MMC/SD slot: with decent transfer speeds

WM6 or 7: fully integrating the Uni's features, videocalling for example

However, there are some things that I'd like to keep from my precious Uni. Those are:

Looks: I believe the Uni's shape, colour (black) and size are perfect

Screen: Present screen size and VGA are fine imho

(in a few words I'm looking for a VGA version of Kaiser inside the Universal mold :p)

just my 2c :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Timeshell:
OH, and yah, quad band GSM or at least a version that works in North America's region! I use the 1900 PCS band here in Canada, but I lose coverage where 850 has better signal than 1900 :(

I love the Uni the way it is otherwise, but more RAM would definitely be a plus. And I vouch for the SD rather than Micro SD. It gets to a point where small is too small. I have no problem with the size of the Uni itself except that it's hard to find a suitable belt holster for it.

Oh, a more power friendly too would be nice. That or make the standard battery last longer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Tbaba:
My Universal has only SD slot.. are there some models with MicroSD?

My Wish list

- I also want the new Windows Mobile to be able to edit numbers in the call history before dialling

- 256MB RAm with 1GB storage

- support for 8GB SD Cards SIO

- inbuilt FM Radio

- 3MP Camera (at least)

- more buttons in front (where the screen is) maybe 4

- longer battery life
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skng:
I do get relative good battery life out of my Universal in comparison to other gadgets like ipods, MP3 and MP4 players. No complaint at all.

With standard battery:

Music: 14-16 hours (with screen off)

Video: 4-5 hours

Reading ebooks: 9-10 hours

I have a second standard battery and that's quite enough for a long train of flight journey.

I hope HTC doesn't cripple the "Universal successor" with just a micro SD slot. I need full size SD slot! I can imagine 16GB SD will be at a "reasonable" price in a year's time. I can then a whole series of Heroes, 24, Lost, etc. with me. ;-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
Erm, what do you mean the Universal has "only" SD slot?! A full sized SD slot like the Uni has now is far better than those tiny MicroSD on other phones!

- We don't need 256MB RAM, 128MB should be plenty. Because any increase in RAM size uses more battery power, and you are very unlikely to notice the difference between 128MB and 256MB on any Windows Mobile device.

- The Uni already supports 8GB SDIO cards! In fact it also supports 16GB SDIO cards, you can get these right now from eBay!

- An FM radio would just be a waste of space IMO, using valuable battery life and circuitry which could be used for much better things. You can have FM radio on your Uni already over the internet with UMTS!

- I agree about camera. We need 3MP+, with a very powerful flash led, something like the Luxeon Rebel. It should also be able to capture smooth video in at least 640x480 at 25fps+ with decent quality sound.

- Why more buttons? Already the Uni has more buttons than most other phones! I think it has enough now :)

- With ALL mobile phones, you can only get really longer battery life by getting an extended battery. You can get these for the Uni now, they are very cheap, but of course they are much larger. It is always a trade-off between battery size and battery life - you cannot have both!

- And Uni needs built in GPS (SurfStar chipset), and HSDPA (much less important, 3G is already mostly fast enough). Then it is a perfect device ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rudegar:
i doubt they read what is written in forums

i think Athena is the product they wanted to tak

over for universal

the reason why i doubt they read it and even if they did

then this is an enthusiast forum and PM's who deside what products

are developed not engineers have to think about how big a market

there is and enthusiast market is not that big
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Tbaba:
I was refering to the other post where da guy said his universal had microSD

So the 16gb supported cards dont have to be partitioned to 4GB parts? The new Universal shouldnt support the cards as 1 partition.

About the FM radio, I beg to differ. In MANY places where there's no UMTS or its very expensive, havng an inbuild radio would be good. And I know a whole bunch of other devices with radios that dont affect battery life that much.

They should also include better Power amangement in the universal to improve life amidst all these addtitions

I personally would prefer more buttons so manipulating the device without opening the keyboard could be possible... playing games... accessing menues... running programs etc. Basically you should be able to leave you Universal in portrait mode forever...

I definitely agree wit the inbuilt GPS

Ciao!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rudegar:
if one really want a fm radio you can buy headsets to use for the pda

which also have fm radio build in
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skng:
Some companies build personal video/media players. Some other companies build mobile Internet surfing devices. The Universal can do both very well with decent battery life. It's also a PDA and a phone!

After 2 years, I still use my Universal heavily. I always feel good about just having to carry one device for all the entertainment I need. When I am bored with what I've got on my SD cards, I can watch the full youtube (not just the subset catered specifically for mobiles) over 3G! Also, you can't beat the keyboard for online chat and text messaging.

Is there not a market for something like the HTC Omni? A pocketable mobile Internet device with rich multimedia functions.

Is there really a market for the 5 inch Athena. Who are the target consumers?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rudegar:
"Who are the target consumers?"

Andre the Giant :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
Prolly the same as with Nokia's Internet Tablets.

(BTW, the Athena sales are pretty lowish - MUCH lower than any current HTC models. No wonder, I'd say - they contain, in addition to a very bad thumbboard, already outdated hardware. For example, the old, ppower-hungry and not multimedia-friendly PXA-270 instead of the PXA-3XX)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
Yes, you're right. They should have equipped the athena with much reliable flash drive of 8GB too for that price. Also, HTC, please do away with those magnets(if plan for Athena II)! They formatted my friend Laptop's HDD too(the way it did for Midget_1990)

freaking magents. Just due to the magnets, microphone and HDD, I did not get the athena, otherwise, its such a nice device. They could have lowered the screen size to 4.0' and put-in a microphone too. May be then, most of the universal owners would have jumped to it :)

nah.. its Great Khali now. Andre is dead guy now :p
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] cptkian:
I accidentally stumbled upon this today, wasn't sure how I did it, kept tapping and swiping till it happened again. In addition to this, I've also found that swiping up from on or below the nav bar hides QS and/or notifications with just one swipe. However I can't seem to reproduce this 100% of the time.

Edit: ...The reason I went with "double-tap + swipe-down" was mainly due to a few popular apps using the term for gestures and that's how they word it. So yeah - 2 short rapid fire tap-swipes(down) on the status bar will produce the same outcome as "double-tap + swipe-down"....

Thanks to nednednerb
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
Nice find. Quick pull down was a special feature on many ROMs on my Nexus 5. What I found when playing:

You can do it slowly in two full swipes:

Pull down notification. Pull down QS tiles.

Or quickly as you've discovered:

"Throw" down notification with a quick downward tap and quickly lift finger, land on the QS bar and down slide the tiles.

If that is easy to understand, maybe you can make it work more reliably. It is more like two short slides for me than two taps..

Longer sentence but actually very quick...settings!

:good:

Update: I find two taps does work but it does seem a bit more prone to not working
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] cptkian:
You know, how you described it is exactly how I do it...just 2 quick little swipe-taps on the status bar! and I'll be honest, I'm really glad this is a thing now. I didn't enjoy the long swipes, twice for QS. Plus the 2 finger stuff is awkward and unnatural, I usually use my thumbs instead of fingers

The reason I went with "double-tap + swipe-down" was mainly due to a few popular apps using gestures and that's how they word it. So yeah, 2 short rapid fire tap-swipes on the status bar will produce the same outcome as "double-tap + swipe-down". I might edit OP and add this... credit where it's due, right? Thanks for this!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
Yah, "2 short swipes"

Hah, sounds like a comedy sketch
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] MikeDaGeek:
I have used the 2 swipe method on the finger sensor to get to the QS menu. I also realized a 2 finger swipe will go directly to the QS menu also.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] danaff37:
Quick Tap then swipe is the fastest way to QS. No need for double tap, and the first hit doesn't need to be a swipe.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] cptkian:
I mentioned this somewhere, but I didn't really mean double-tap and then swipe-down. That's just how I've always seen it worded, so I went with what I thought the masses would get...I'm starting to think that wasn't the best way to go. And you're right, and I've actually been doing what you are saying the entire time, tap, then kind of a tap swipe all on one motion. But I'm only swiping my thumb down less than 1/10" for it to recognize and open QS. There is more on the Pixel XL. It appears to be way more active in all categories over there. It'd be nice to merge the two. I think a lot of info gets missed between the two threads that would benefit each other.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] nednednerb:
ElementalX already has a dual Pixel/ XL installer.

If ROM development can do a dual installer as the most usual standard, I would think combining forums is good.

Otherwise, I think separation is the was to go.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] cptkian:
It pains me to say this, but I think I disagree. I have read a lot of useful information on the XL forum that I have applied to my phone, information that wasn't even mentioned over here, and vice versa. It appears to be twice as active as this thread. I'm actually surprised how much more the pixel xl sold compared to the pixel. i'm losing focus here.

is there a way to combine forums here like you can subreddits on reddit just by typing in a specific url? two birds, one stone.
