I just wanted to point out that you guys without an invite are not really experiencing google voice. It is a service not an app. It just happens to have an app. So without the service your missing the whole point of what google voice is....

With that said GV would not be a good replacement for VVM without the entire package.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crash447:
I was able to get the Whole Service without an invite. It initially just set up as voicemail, but I logged in online and requested to change it to a google number and it all went fine. Now I have a google number instead of the general # that only works for voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] halcyon_22:
***CONFIRMED THAT THIS WORKS***

come get ur google voice account, i have used all the features i know how to use including multiple greetings for different groups and getting a personal google voice number that Im able to foward calls from that # to my cell.

just install the app from the marketplace and follow the setup instructions, then go to google.com/voice and sign in with the email you used and setup your google voice number! BAM!

What is it that makes Sprint VM better than Google Voice voicemail??

They both have an app for your Hero

On both you can click and listen to your voicemail

Oh, Google voice transcribes voice to text for free.

I think using google voice for just voicemail is still better than Sprint VM.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] deadonarivalry:
I prefer VVM from Sprint. It's quick and painless. Google's transcription has been pretty poor in my experience, plus I don't want Google mining through my life via SMS (which I have turned on actually for craigslist ads that I don't wanna include my personal number in) and voicemail. I've actually yet to use the VVM via Voice, but I'll give it a shot because I really miss VVM. Can't wait for an official 2.1 Hero leak to get it back.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
I definitely prefer GV to Sprint's vvm. Got in back when it was still called Grand Central. I must say Google has definitely made some nice additions since they bought it.

I like the fact that I get to keep my number even if my "real" phone number changes. I now only give out my GV number. Nobody has my actual cell number. I've been doing that for over a year, and have yet to run into a situation where anything would have worked better if I'd given out my cell number instead.

One HUGE advantage is the ability to set how calls from individual phone numbers are handled. I have one client who gives me a lot of easy work and pays well, but he drinks WAY too much. I don't like to deal with him when he's drunk. With GV I set his phone numbers on a schedule so if he calls Monday thru Friday between 8am and 3pm his calls ring through. Any time outside that window and his calls just get dumped straigh to voicemail.

The way I see it, this is MY phone and I pay the bill for MY convenience. Not everybody else's. I've not found anything other than GV that allows me such fine-grained control over who gets to call me.

On another note, does anyone else thing that the combined acquisitions of Grand Central and Gizmo point to Google eventually offering a complete phone service? The pieces are already there, just a little integration work and I'll be able to use the two of them together and use nothing but data service from my phone carrier. On WiFi, I could bypass Sprint 100%. One of these days when I get some time I should play around with linking the two together and see how close it can come in its current state.

EDIT: Looks like I have one GV invite left. First person to PM me gets it.

I tried setting it up from the app in the market and got to the point where it said To setup Google voice as the voicemail provider on your phone you need to enter a special provioning code. Please dial *718505830466 When I dial it, I get beep beep beep....beep beep beep..........beep and it hangs up.

thank you
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] koricua74:
Dial *28Your Google Voice Number, then make sure that your phone is "activated" to do that log into you GV account click the settings tab and check the box next to your mobile number. After that make sure that you set GV as your voicemail options under setting>call>voicemail service
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] deadonarivalry:
Also, if you wanna use the app to set up a GV account and the "invite request" method to login doesn't work, just sign up and use the same account. I did it. Still waiting on an invite from Google and still got my GV number/SMS/VM. I'm pretty sure you'll have to login to GV on your desktop/laptop to really configure it though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chfields:
That did the trick!! This is very cool........
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crash447:
Is there a way to have two different voicemail messages for whatever number the person calls. I know I can set up different messages for my different groups in my contacts, but I want to have one message for people calling my cell and another for people calling my gv number.

Cannot Verify Phone Number Error (Possible explanation)

Ok, got the same problem tonight. Here was the problem:

I'm using DarchLegend 4.2.2. I managed to find this GV backdoor on my own when I was just trying to see what the app was like, so I decided to try to set up an account for a friend of mine. Unfortunately, he has an iPhone, so he can't get the actual app. So I NANDroided my phone, fully wiped, and recustomized my phone with his gmail account settings (The look on his face at how quickly I could wipe and recustomize was classic!!!:eek:)

When I went through the GV setup process, I got the same "Your phone number could not be verified" error. So I thinks to meself "Self, you never entered a phone number for the app to verify. I wonders if Google is sensing that the phone number tied to your phone is also tied to another GV account?" Well, when I talk to myself, I normally have to listen, so I changed my GV forwarding number to (Not my cell phone), and voila! I let me set up a GV account for him. Transferred his forwarding number to his cell phone number, transferred mine back, restored from NANDroid, and I'm back in business.

All that in the time span of about 15-20 minutes. SIDE NOTE: My friend make some pretty good money unlocking and jailbreaking iPhones. When he saw our custom recovery and the fact that we could restore from a backup just by rebooting, or flash from our SD cards... He's starting to wish that he had it so "easy"!!!:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blankd3ckskat3r:
I don't really understand what your saying. I came from a fresh wipe and tried it. And I dont know what you mean by making gv forward to a different number
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nahrwoldinternet:
Phone Not Recognized Error

When I've seen GV give the "Phone Number Not Verified" error is when the number for the cell phone the app is on is already in Google's database. If you already have a GV account, and are trying to create another GV account, change your forwarded number. Otherwise, if you just got your phone, maybe the person who had it before you was registered with GV.

But it basically means GV doesn't like your cell phone's number (They pull the number from your cell, but call to verify a landline phone or one without the app).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
I have it setup with one of my google accounts and it works....However I just tried with a different account and it would not work..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
well...you're right! i was trying to set my wife up with google voice (loaded up android on her sprint diamond), but each time i'd try to set it up, i'd get the "unable to verify phone number" message. turns out that i had put her cell phone as one of the forwarding numbers on my own google voice account.

so... i logged in, deleted her phone number from my account. then tried again. it verified her phone instantly and set her up with google voice access. i just have to get a google number for her. sweet! thanks for the solution!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] deadonarivalry:
Seriously? Well, I quoted the wrong post, but talking about the website... go to voice.google.com

Takes me to the login page. Matter of fact, here's the whole link I get when I type "voice.google.com"

Google Voice Login Page

Try that. It should definitely work though. Things went off without a hitch for me. And I had emailed google about an invite long ago. Just use your Google credentials (if you've installed the app) and login to GV to set it up.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] R2D2-AKU2:
Hi, guys. I read this thread very carefully - however, I should have read it before installing GV. :(

Here's what I did:

1) Installed Voice from the market and signed on using my google APPS email. I can receive voicemails, but the other features you guys are talking about don't work.

2) I can NOT log in to GV using my google APPS email address.

3) I read this thread. ;)

4) I uninstalled GV, then added a regular gmail account to sync on the hero, then requested a GV invite using that gmail address, then installed GV, setup gets to verify number and it won't verify the number.

5) I cannot log in to GV (on computer) using either google APPS email or gmail email.

I understand that if I can somehow delete my number from the prior install (APPS), then I should be able to get past the "number not verified" and be able to log in using my gmail account and get access to the other features.

Anyone have an idea on how to get around that?

[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
Hi,

I have done the fix to allow Opera to allow my HD2 to use BBC iPlayer via WI-FI, but when I try to view over 3G or H, I receive a message on the BBC iPlayer page in Opera stating "Change to WIF-FI. Only available to '3' and Vodafone customers".

I am a Vodafone customer, but my HD2 is unbranded - bought from Devicewire. Is there a fix to allow me to stream TV via 3G/H?

Thanks.

Graeme
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
There is, do a search something to do with using Voda's WAP settings as this gets recognised and thus allows you to use the service but forget all that rubbish, just use Myplayer far superior in every way.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501131

But if you really want it straight from Opera, try the following (taken from Voda forums):

Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connections/Add a new modem connection

Enter any name for your connection (any will do) and choose Cellular Line (GSM) as the line.

Access Point Name: wap.vodafone.co.uk

User: wap

Pass: wap

Then select this new WAP connection as your default connection and it should work.
[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
Thanks!

Thanks xavierdemon,

I should have realised that BBC would have been looking for a link with Vodafone, hence WAP.

Yes, I did install myPlayer & Coreplayer last night and they are very good.

Now that I have resolved this issue, I agree, I will stick to the myPlayer and Coreplayer.

Thanks again.

Wouldn't open up a thread for this question but any custom ROM (RECENT EDITIONS) I've tried (NRGZ's, Sergio's, Ark's, Athine's and some others) for several days now have the "dead aka black" screen issue. Tried to find an answer in the original ROM-threads but haven't got any substancial responses. It seems like only few people have these issues. This would make me think the problem is my hardware (German Generic TP2) but the older ROMs of same chefs then run normal and without the dead screen issues.

Please any ideas, solution suggestions or experience share?

Thanks! Ibster

Edit: confirmed solution method described in post# 10 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5934002&postcount=10 . Thank you agent 47 big time for the tool you provided!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Is this the same as the "Sleep of Death" (SOD)? In which the phone won't wake from sleep/suspend state and has to be soft-reset?

If not, what's the symptom exactly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ibster:
that's exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't know it was called the "sleep of death". I jusst have to softreset the phone all the time. The phone becomes just unuseable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BABA MAI WUDIRI:
i also experience it on my Tilt 2 AT&T unlocked, so i reverted back to Sense 2.1 Euro 1.86.401.0. any solution there, i bought mine from Negrielectronics USA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BABA MAI WUDIRI:
i also exprence it on my Tilt 2. is there any help out there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
It's because chiefs have updated their XIP. Ask them to cook a rom for you with the old XIP from stock HTC WM6.5 Sense 2.1 rom.

Ach, that's just my theory based on my experience. I might be wrong, so keep that in mind.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ctbear:
I have a similar issue, but not exactly the sleep of death

A lot of times when I unlock the phone, Sense would not show up, only the taskbar and occasionally the bottom bar

Everything is responsive, the taskbar notification works, hardware buttons works, but not the sense part in the middle

This usually happens when I'm having an SMS conversation

I run this setup most of the time:

WM 6.5.x

Sense 2.5

HD mini lockscreen with Smartlock 2.0F or Lockdevice 1.6
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Apical:
Same here on the SMS black screen

I just started having this problem with the newest Leo Cell Pro, I have not had it with any NRG or Deep Shinig ROMS though but I do like The cell pro details and the others are not without there faults. I like your screenshots and I can hardly wait for that new white theme to come out. I think it will make my phone so much better outdoors and enhance the Windroid look I am workin on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ctbear:
Yes....interesting that I've never had this issue on Energy's...my guess is he doesn't cook in the latest HTC SMS client which can be unstable at times

Are you talking about Elcondor's GTX theme? Yes that is a very awesome theme

I couldn't wait until 201x version comes out so I made my own :D Not as good as GTX but I'm half satisfied now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ibster:
like i mentioned in the the post#1 I had these problems with almost all recent (last two weeks) custom ROM releases, ROMs of different chefs. Because others or the majority of people don't have any problems with that I thought the reason must be hardware issues. yesterday I saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191 opened by agent_47 where he provides a modified tool:

Well I used it and have flashed to Sergio's Leo Cell Evo 6 and I can confirm that I haven't had any "sleep of death" issues, well still haven't and hope I won't have this "SOD" issue anymore. And when I tried this same ROM before I wasn't even able to make a proper configuration and set up the phone because the phone always froze or as soon the screen went off I wasn't able to activate it back without soft reset.

So maybe this is a solution and could help others who also are having this issue of "sleep of death".

Please if you try the tool from the mentioned agent_47's thread, let know us here because it will be very useful for the rest of the users to finally figure out "the dark side" of their phone and fix it. :)

Cheers, Ibster
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] challenger150:
Solution :-)

I had this just recently. Funny side was that I installed an official new ROM from HTC which I just updated. Somehow the phone just didn't want to turn on and show the screen. So just like you guys said, hard-reset did the thing but just when the screen went off, same thing happened.

So what I did was wipe/clean or any other name. Practically did the installation of the rom again. Now, the device works normally and without any problems.

Maybe this happens because some old files of older ROMS sayed on the device itself and started making problems. Anyways, check this thread too, maybe it will explain something more: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191

Or, final explanation. Our Rhodiums have soul inside their little chips and they just simply fu.k with us :-) They tell us they're too tired of so many ROM changes. :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rk73:
I have also had this problem with my two latest official swedish roms (manilla 2.1 and 2.5) cant remember if I had it when I used 6.1. Now I use a cooked rom and still have the issue several times a week. The only thing I had done with my Rhodium before using cooked Rom was flashing hard spl for future use. If its not an inbuilt hardware/software problem from the beginning the only thing I can point at in my case is hard spl?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johng75:
back with my kaiser you always had to flash back to stock before going to a new ROM no matter what, for just this very reason...

could flashing back to stock be a 'best practice' that we as users should start doing to help with this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrip777:
I - have had some xperience with the issue in a few ROMS. Im a loyal flasher of Agent 47s masterpieces. And a month or so ago he had like 2 or 3 builds that had this issue. From what I remember he said that he thought it had to do with some sys evrybody was using to cook roms. and after her came out with this diagnosis and "fixed"(i dont know the technical part of what was fixed) this problem it has never happened since. But a good thing I would say to try is in Agents thread about 4 or so pages from the last page(maybe more or less) but close to the last page he posted a .zip file for this mitty fix. and you essentially flash this zip just like a rom then reflash which ever rom you had or a new one and ta da. Ive also heard of people reflashing a stock rom with results from doing so but from what Agent said is flashing a stock rom then back technicaly "shouldnt" do anything and to definately use mitty. But one of the other frequent valkyrie users that I chat with all the time Mcbrian who posted here on the first page has used the stock rom and did have whatever issue he had cured dont remember what that was tho.

UPDATE- Oh I guess that Agent has a thread for Tool29 so you dont have to search through his thread to find it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aichemist:
I can confirm agent 47 method is working for me. I no longer have the sleep of death. But its only been half a day. I will report back in a few days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ibster:
Great! I'm glad to hear your confirmation. I now on my side haven't had a sleep of death for three days on the ROM (Cell Leo V6) that previously, before I used the agent_47's tool, couldn't even start normally at all or had extremely many "sleeps of death". But I also noticed overall improvements even though the speed slows down but there are barely any freezes and stability is much better.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kienkham:
I did tried agent 47 method at least three times this weekend. I did exactly what agent 47 instructed, flash Energy ROM 23547 with MaxManila = failed to initiated. Flash Tool29 again, reflash Energy ROM 23545 from MicroSD = Failed. Flash Athine OS XTreme = Worked, install MaxManila 3.0 on top of Athine OS Xtreme = Corrupted the manila display. Reflash stock ROM. Flash Deep Shining X.23544 = Worked. Flash Deep Shining X.23547 = Failed.

Look like I can get my phone to work but can't move on from now on! Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ibster:
I'm not very clear about what you mean by failed. Do you mean you can't flash some of the ROMs or you get screens of death with them?

What I did was this: I took out the SD card. Ran the tool29 modified by agent_47 (see post 10 of this thread). After the tool finished cleaning all internal memory the phone went back on but got stuck in loading. I took the battery out of phone for few seconds and then put it back in. Then I connected the USB cable to the phone and started it in the bootloader mode by quickly pressing and releasing the switch button and then hitting the volume down. On the tricolor screen then it shows USB. Then I just flashed my ROM of choice normally with USB without need to flash from SD. I've done this several time with several ROMs without problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kienkham:
Thanks for quick response. Yes. I did exactly what you spelled out in the message. i.e: Remove the memory card, Run Tool29, remove the battery, got into the bootloader mode, then flashed with USB connection. The phone went to the initial setup, I clicked the T-Mobile connection ....etc... then it restart - then stopped at "Launching HTC Sense...." This is = failed for me. i.e: Failed to clean the internal memory!

By the way, if the internal memory is cleaned, shouldn't the Start->Setting->Device Information->Software Information: Incoming Call & Outgoing Call reset to 0?

Thanks
