I just wanted to post this even though some people know about it already. But I was also on this quest to get quasi-native mms/voicemail on my Hero. The problem was the mms handling in the google voice app (v0.2 since im on 2.1) sucks. The only thing I liked was that when someone left me a voicemail i could listen to it right in the Google Voice app (sort of like VVM and I thought a lot faster.)

I turned off notifications in the HTC messenger and stuck with google voice while having all my voicemail's in a filter sent directly to my phone with a script I wrote running on my web server at home. It was pretty cool because I could be watching TV and get text messages and voicemail notifications pop up on XBMC, I would then look down at my phone and notice the filtered email just arrived with a link... all tagged with a filter called "voicemail". I won't go into this setup unless others want it, but this all led me directly to something even better.

gvmax.com. It was the answer to everything. Now, I don't have to worry about any text messaging service. I just use a chat client. All my texts and voicemails come through gtalk, and I don't have to wait 15 freaking minutes for the google voice app to check for new messages, or worry about dual messages in multiple programs.

gvmax routes them directly to my web server INSTANTLY so I still get the notifications while watching tv. I can actually see a teaser of the text message. voicemails go to gtalk with a tinyurl, voicemails also go to my email, mms comes in as a new chat, and I can reply to the person directly over gtalk. To be honest, there are times I am chatting with someone for a several minutes before I realize they think they are text messaging me. OHHH and it doesn't cut you off in size to 2 mms (320 characters) at a time. It is an UNBELIEVABLE setup, and you can route your mp3 voicemail downloads wherever you want. I am guessing you could put them in any folder on your SD (including vvm) and have it come up just about any program you like.

It works, I think, better than the gv app as you can still call people directly from gtalk. You can even email or @reply them on twitter and it will go right to their phone.

Anyway, I discovered that free service from someone on xda and figured I would bring it up again because I know a lot of people missed it. It may not seem like it at first, but routing your mms/voicemail over a php script (http-post) with gvmax has changed my life. Since I use a chat program for everything now, it really is sort of like the messaging on the pre or iphone.

Anyway, try it out if you have time. It is really easy to setup. I can tell you I haven't missed a call or voicemail since because every computer/tv/phone I have all receive the messages. So when I have my daughter wants to play a game on my phone and I am waiting on a text I just pick up my laptop and start chatting with it. Saves a lot of time arguing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flexgrip:
Sorry, I missed this post. You are right, I always forget that google voice is not open yet. Well I tell you what. Go put your name on the invite list. Hell, sign up a few email addresses. They usually come in a week or so.

Until then I think I have 3-4 invitations left. Keep in mind, gv users cannot invite you. we had to sign up our email addresses to get these just like you would. It is not like we get a gv account and then can invite 10 friends. So signing yourself up is probably just as quick as finding someone who has extra invites left. They are like $5 on ebay but like I said. It takes a week MAYBE two to get an invite.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fesstech:
I would send you an invite but i dont have any yet.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
You dont need an invite if you want to use it for voicemail. As was discussed on one of the other Google Voice threads, all you have to do is download the app from the Market. You have a phone running on Google software, your invite is installing the app. After the that just follow the directions to set it up. I have never been invited to use GV, and I successfully use it everyday. And thanks to the OP's idea, I have it set up perfect now. Good idea on the blacklisting, I was using Handcent already anyways. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blampars:
bought my invite on ebay, cost $1.30 and paid through paypal.

Didn't feel comfortable asking anyone here for an invite as I haven't been active (lurker) for too long.

bought the invite and setup GV in under 10 minutes this way.

no waiting for invites :D

if you're desperate for GV for the voicemail, I'd say this is the optimal way to go.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] RTessi:
maybe you got in before they changed things, but i just tried to use it, and i get the error that my email is not setup for google voice...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fesstech:
i discovered an issue with my GV app (original poster's) method.

When phone is asleep, an GV sms is blacklisted, you will not get an instant GV notification/blinking LED. You will however be notified as soon as you wake your phone up. Moreover, you will be notified/blinking LED, when the phone is asleep, as soon as GV app refreshes the inbox (at best, a 5 min interval depending on your setting).

But i noticed you also dont get a blinking LED for the missed call when the phone is asleep. So this may be correctable outside of my method.

Someone else may be able to verify this. thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
I tried g v with chompsms and handcent .

Both I do not see the option in g v to send sms .

I am getting a notice from 9016 that I have a v m .

But have to call Google to hear it .

Also I have a .1 charge in my account ... does this service cost? I have a Sprint Google hero .. thought it was free

BTW.. I am on damage 2.1 100%.. it is great
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
who has extra google voice invites?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
am I missing something?

I just downloaded it in the Market... why do we have to get invited??
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
You're not missing anything. I tried to explain that in my previous post. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] RTessi:
and you missed the fact that i tried your method and it still requires an active account as i tired to explain in my previous post... :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] RTessi:
you are not missing anything... you can download the program, but you still need to have an active google voice account, but because it is in beta it requires an invitation to join to get the active account.

R
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] entropism:
Consensus in other threads is showing that if you try to sign up inside the app, you don't need an invite. Perhaps Google is giving preference to Android users.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Thats called operator error, buddy. Did you open the app and follow all the instructions before running to your computer and trying to log in?

EDIT-See above post as well.^^^^^^
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chippillie:
For the people not wanting Handsent download afirewall and just blacklist sms from your Google voice number. I have handsent and blacklisted in both no SMS building up in the stock app and still get the VM notification in a bought 30 sec. You still get a flashing led it flashes for missed calls also.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
I think I am still confused....

because.. no one invited me to anything.. (never was that popular :cool:)

downloaded it....

signed up...

and I was connected...

But.. I will admit, It is not working properly.

Got the voice-mail from Google that I am setup.

But my phone is not getting me my messages yet.

Running Damage 100% ROM
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Go to google.com/voice. Log in and go to settings. Choose enable(or somethin like that) and it will tell you to dial *28yourgoogle voice number. After that it'll be set up.:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] entropism:
Folks running a 2.1 ROM: You have to realise that this ROM was taken from a Verizon source, this is why a few things don't work correctly when flashing to a Sprint phone. For example, the visual voicemail and the system updates. The reason Google Voice might not work correctly for you is because the GVoice app thinks you're running a Verizon phone, and tells you to dial *71xxxxxxxxxx to set up call forwarding. For SPRINT, it's *28xxxxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxxxx is your google voice number). Please, keep this in mind and set yourself on Google Voice's webpage before getting the app set up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] RTessi:
i wasn't running to any computer to set anything up...

i must have a different version of google voice than everyone else... belo is an outline of exactly what i see/get

the first screen i get when i open the app is a "Welcome to Google Voice" with brief description of what it does... i have 2 choices, either hit "Exit" or "Next"...

the screen after i hit next is "Sign in to Google Voice" which gives me a few options:

1. use my gmail account email address for Google Voice

2. "Use a different account"

3. "Back"

4. "sign in"

if i choose my gmail account and choose "sign in" it gives me a "Not Subscribed" prompt telling me that my google account is not yet enabled for Google Voice

if i choose "use a different account" it asks for the email and password for the google voice account

there are no other options, even if i hit the menu button

please explain to me where i can sign up or do anything other than the options i have outlined above...

not trying to be a naysayer, i'm just telling you exactly when i am seeing and have seen since downloading the app... i would be thrilled if you could explain where in the program i can "sign up"

there is no user error on my end ;)

I'm running Pancake, although that shouldn't make a difference afaik...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tipharet:
Im not sure what you guys are trying to accomplish here. GV out of the box functioned with its own VCML notification and did not dupe to SMS or Email. If it is duping to either of those check your settings in Google voice for fwd to SMS and Email.

One other thing I did when I first got that SMS when receiving the very first GV message was call that number. It was a automated system that asked if you recently upgraded to a device with SMS and would be receiving voicemail though SMS. I hit the number for yes and went on about it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fesstech:
You are missing the fact that GV alone only notifies every 5min at that best. With that, it will sync every 5 mins and use battery. by duping to SMS, you can be notified within 30 seconds of a voicemail and yet set your GV sync to 60min refreshes and save battery. Then by blacklisting the SMS you dont receive dupe notifications and needless SMSs but still get a quick GV notification.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tipharet:
I get a notification from GV right after a call leaves a vcml, I have watched it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fesstech:
whats your refresh interval on?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
i have tested it too...

and it can be a long wait.

with the sms trick.. you get the notification faster.

and the phone spends less time.. not every 5 mins checking to see if you have a vm.

so.. I agree.. the sms trick is a good work around.

but if you dont like it .. or need it.. dont worry about it..

for others.. like myself.

It is good! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tipharet:
Hey, dude I wasnt trying to cause trouble. Clearly my GV functions a bit different than most peoples. Just like the stock keyboard didnt kill my mult-touch.

Who knows, I was just wondering the point of the thread cause obviously my reference point was from the perspective of how its suppose to function...lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dmitriandsnow:
Also, if anyone wants instant SMS notification with 60min refresh rate AND doesn't want to have their proper "emails" mingle with "sms emails" just register and dedicate one email address say, mysms@gmail.com, entirely to SMS by checking "Forward SMS messages to my email". That way, you can use your Gmail app for your legit "emails" and use, say, Mail app for your instant GV SMS. :) Too bad my number is already registered to my original email :( might have to ditch it for a new one and leave this one entirely for SMS:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kirby Baker:
I've been looking at upgrading to a 2.1 ROM and obviously need to use my GV for voicemail if I want a "visual" voicemail solution. Question I have is, after I do the *28 forward (assuming this is the no-answer transfer thing) does GV then have a series of rings before it gets into its voicemail? So lets say right now using all Sprint, it take 6 rings before it goes to VM. By using the GV setup, does that extend to a lot more rings? My fear is that people might just hang up rather than sit through 10+ rings or something to get to voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
GV in voicemail mode adds about 1 ring.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flexgrip:
For instant sms notification, as I mentioned before, use gvmax.com + gtalk.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fesstech:
why not just check the GV setting, 'send sms'? why use another app to notify you of something GV app / GV account already does?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Thanks for this! I just set it up as per the OP and it works great. Yet another way to save some battery.:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dmitriandsnow:
i feel weird having some other party having access to my gv though... i'd rather get notified through email immediately and either answer right there in the Mail app or go back to GV to write a new message to someone new...(you can pretty much only reply to people in Gmail)

So i just have one extra app that does the job of what gvoice should do essentially...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Bielinsk:
This tip worked perfectly. Blocked google number in chomp. Set google voice to 60 mins (just in case)

Now when I get a new voicemail, GV pops up an instant notification on me phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] energizer1389:
Dude, thank you. This is great. I wonder how'd u figure this one out??
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] qngds:
Thanks!

I was running a gumbo rom that just would not boot today. I ended up wiping everything to get it to boot. So I figured, if I had to wipe I may as well just try the damage 2.1 Rom and see if I could make this vvm work around work for me. (Yeah, the VVM is a deal breaker for me, minor, I know, but I'm addicted!) The directions to set up GV voicemail worked great. So glad I tried it. Thanks for taking the time to post directions! And thanks for the tip for afirewall, I think it was the first program I downloaded when I got my Hero :)

These problems started appearing after I fitst flashed over the original ROM that came with my phone(why didnt I take a backup :mad:),

It actually started I think when I messed with the EXTRom, I feel this cos now my extrom does not auto execute after a hard reset or after a flash... :(0

do u mean SIM card contacts??? or phone contacts?

I don't really have any contacts on the phone memory cos I dont use that phone now, for obvious reasons..... but the SIM card works perfectly on any other phone...

And what do u mean by 'cleaning'? As in just delete all the contacts or sumthin???

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] RadikalRat:
:D

well it does detect the SIM card so I dont think theres any problem with the contacts of either SIM or phone..

The problem is it just says 'phone is off' with no option to turn it on...

The reason why I know it detects the SIM card is cos when I remove the SIM card the network icon says 'No service', and when I insert the SIM card I get the message 'The phone is off'..... So that obviously mean it detects the SIM card on the phone but its not able to turn on...

Any ideas?

Hi,

I've a problem : everytime open the gallery (I've in storage card 150 pictures) the phone stop and the only thing to do id pull put battery.

Firstly, and thread title of HELP ME is one off the biggest turn offs imaginable and NOT the way to get indepth response from the members.

All new members please note!

That said, we need more info.

Whats running/installed?

What type and speed of mem card do you have?

Did it react that way on the stock ROM.

How long did you give it to open? etc, etc.

I have just opened my album of some 60 images and it was there immediately!

So there are other factors at work here.
[HD2 General] jonata:
sorry ...

my sd is a 6 class.

my problem is that the gallery stop to work and th ephone il blocked

my rom now is axlor

the gallery open immediatly but when I scroll images, after 4/5 pictures hang ....

tks for reply
[HD2 General] dashrink:
The ROM isnt the problem. The gallery is building up cache, so it is working in the background. This is due to manila, and therefore u will have this issue in all roms.

Give it time to work...

When I had this issue I opened up the gallery and went through all the pictures, restarted the phone and opened the gallery again. Try this a couple of times.

I hope this helps you....

Btw did u hard reset after flashing?
[HD2 General] jonata:
no, didn't hard reset ...

you think I need ?
[HD2 General] dashrink:
After every Custom ROM flash u have to do at least one hard reset, otherwise u can get a buggy rom. There is a better tech explanation to why, which im sure would be easy to find if you search the forum. Oh and it is a very good idea to delete the application data folder on your sd card before the hardreset. beware the hardreset erases the phone data, so its a good idea to do a backup of your contacts, messages etc etc... Good luck bro

RADIO version for cellcom: there is no version for cellcom. try anything between 1.09 and 1.17 and see what is best for you (there might be no difference). the Gen.y rom recommends 1.13 and up. latest official radio is 1.09.

you must read tutorials and "how to" before upgrading to a cooked rom.

I think you mean a 16 GB microsd card, not a 16 MB...

however, there are many brands...I recommend you a well known brand such as sandisk, a-data and so on

But the very important feature is the speed...the fastest is a class 6 microsd

I've buyed a class 6 A-Data 16 GB microsd

greetings
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
actually, if you check the benchmark thread, you see that speed of the card is not that important for daily usage. (even not while transfering data by using the usb cable and the phone) only real benefit you will see is when you use a card reader to transfer data. just my 2 cents ;) but I too advise buying from a renowned brand like Sandisk or Kingston.
[HD2 General] qllkevuoi:
I think that if he needs a 16 gb card, he wants for multimedia usage

so If he needs to transfer and replace and overwrite, cancel, copy, cut, paste, a lot of mb of multimedia files, I think the best solution is a fast card

perhaps not much needed for reading from, but I think it's always better if you got a faster thing, than a slower one (even if this rule is not so good with women :) )
