The transcripts are provided by Google. I've noticed they have gotten more accurate since the service launched, and hopefully they'll be perfect by the time GV comes out of beta.

Skynet is learning. ;)

Are your error messages about "messages.xml" or an mp3 file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amw1972:
Googbook (Google/Facebook) will become self aware by 2016 :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancnpete:
still getting the "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

with the new build but now it is showing new messages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Does it show you a message ID now when you get that error, or could you look at your account online and figure out which message gets skipped?

New version up on the first post, now with contact names!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hoash:
GVV 0.3

I installed V0.3 It work OK for me, but in the about it say Version: 0:1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xyphan:
This app is exactly what I was looking for. Is there any chance to separate the SMS from the Voicemail? The icons look the same for either one, and it will even try to play the SMS back like a voicemail sometimes (I didn't think that was possible... yet, anyway).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Lol, I knew I was forgetting something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Sorry, I don't want to bother anyone, but if you happen to have an extra Google Voice invite kicking around, could you please send me a PM and I'll provide me email address. I'd love to give Google Voice a try.

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Just sign up for it and they'll send you an invite within a couple weeks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] torremitsu:
Give this man a cigar. THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SinisterJunkie:
Installing the 0.3 update. Thanks and keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CeLlgUy:
So far this app is working pretty well. I do get a few errors every now and then but once I click okay it seems to work fine. Also, for some reason it is only pulling one of my phone contacts and the rest jut show the number. My only real complaint so far though is that the app takes a while to load on the touch pro 2. Hopefully you find a way to reduce the load time.

I read a few pages back that you were trying to find a way that using the autoupdate would put up the voicemail icon on the taskbar but you couldn't figure out how to map it to opening the app instead of calling your voicemail number. You could just make your own notification similar to the way palringo does it. I have no clue what that entails, just a thought.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Yeah, the notifications are doable, it'll happen eventually along with the autoupdating, but I'm not sure how I want to implement that yet. The long load time is due to the log-in and update process. GVV will probably get a sign in screen or something to amuse you during the wait, but the most I could do is not update, still gotta load and log-in.

Weird on the contacts, are you getting international calls or something where the number should start with + like google provides it? Are you somehow putting numbers into your contacts with special characters like ( and )? Or maybe it's a problem of saving 1AREA### vs AREA###?

See if you can tell if the problem is any of the above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CeLlgUy:
I checked all the basic stuff with my contacts. No "1" and I have the area code on all of them. Ill mess around with it some more though. Maybe just try deleting the contact and putting it back in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
No 1 you claim, that may be the issue, I'll look into it, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] perasite:
Yeah, I'm not getting contact names either. And none of my contacts have a 1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rs1990:
Same issue here. My contacts are stored exactly like they look in the app, but no names show up. I am using this on an HTC Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
New version is up, GVV has been updated to 0.4.

Lot's of good stuff this time!

Make calls via Google voice.

This version includes a very simple dialer (look in the menu) and an option to return calls via google voice.

You must set the number of the cellphone you're using in the settings menu for this to work.

Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.3

Latest and greatest, should be more stable all around.

Separation of Voicemail and SMS

I originally didn't realize that the default view would show sms. Rather than taking it away from you guys, I've separated sms from the default view. (Sending sms will get done when I feel like it.)

Semi-Automatic Updates

GVV now calls its update methods every so often on it's own and caches your Google Voice account. Configure frequency under settings.

When GVV downloads something by itself it puts up a notification to that effect.

Updates do not run while the device is asleep, sorry, looks like I'll have to break caching out into a discrete service, but now the framework is there. (The alternative is to kill your batteries.)

Fixed

No parse error for empty folders.

Xmldocuments are unlocked manually, you should no longer see errors about xml files being locked.

Removed update from startup, it should drop you into the UI a bit faster, but you'll have to run an update yourself.

Clearing the cache first checks if you have a cache.

SMS should show full thread now as on GV.

Numbers are checked against outlook contacts without a 1 in front. <-- CeLlgUy, perasite, rs1990 tell me if you still have problems

Deleted messages are now removed from the main list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
with the addition of the dialer, this program just went from awesome to amazing. great job buddy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sid0101:
hey, i just tried out your application for the first time. I really do like the UI. Very simple, extremely usable, and stable. Would love to see future implementations with sending SMS.

I made a test call with the dialer and seems workable, although not ideal just yet. Maybe a setting where I won't I have to tap on whether I'm sure If i want to connect the call - like an automatically connect calls. Also, a weird phenomenon occurred with another test call; I asked to connect the number I dialed via the dial-pad and when the connecting call came through to my cell phone, I decided that I wanted to cancel right there and then, so I hit ignore. However, the call still went through to the phone number I dialed. Anyhow, I know this is only the beginning of something great, so good deal - good deal.

Also, I am not sure where I can grab my contact list from the application. Or is the application simply not there just yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
This is shaping up to be a great all-in-one GV tool. Since you're going the direction of having a dialer... it would be sweet if you added a contact selection interface. It could either use synced contacts at Google or the phone's contacts. It should allow you to send an SMS or dial with GV.

And obviously, SMS would be nice. Check out Matt Sullivan's open source GVEasySMS. He's basically already done all the leg-work with handling SMS for both incoming and outgoing (though incoming is in beta testing only but I'm sure he'd share his source with you before it's official release). Implementation of both programs would be ideal.

Great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
That's a Google Voice issue, not something this program did, FYI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] perasite:
Unfortunately, mine still does not show the name of my contact. It only shows (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have that contact stored in that same manner in both my phone's contact database as well as in Google Voice. So far, I'm really enjoying the updates, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htc-ppc:
The error I got says "An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device. Please install 'NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab' for Windows Mobile 5.0 and above or 'NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab' for other platforms. Restart the application to see the message."

As far as the transcriptions, the ones I've done come out perfect and a few friends, too, but most people I know mumble or speak fast so it's just a train wreck reading them. Kinda funny though. The only reason I keep it on.

Trying .3 and .4 today.

EDIT: Tried 0.3 just now. The errors with clearing the voice cache are gone and only get the same message when the cache is clear already and try to clear it. Also tried storing the number 3 ways and still no contact info. Tried the default +12223334444, the way it looks in the app (222) 333-4444, and without the "+1" 2223334444 and no luck. Trying 0.4 now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Sl4sher, are you planning on making your application send / receive SMS as a full suite? If so I'll probably just turn over my current source to you and let you run with it, since you seem to have a very cool thing going for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htc-ppc:
I'm not really big on the "full suite" with dialer and sms app. I was originally looking for just a visual voicemail app to work with google voice. If all this will be increasing load time or changing the focus away from the visual voicemail interface, could there also be a basic version focused on checking voicemail?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
I was planning on doing that but sms is still a low priority. The JSON parsing should work just fine with SMS, just gotta write the sms creation page now. I'll shoot you a PM if I get stuck, thanks ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htc-ppc:
OK, checked version 0.4 and had one contact recognized. Noticed it doesn't check how it's stored on Google Voice, rather how it is stored in your phone. It doesn't detect any number stored in the (222) 333-4444 format which is the default way my phone stores numbers from the call history or at the end of a call. However, numbers stored as 2223334444 will show up with the name stored in your phone. I find that a little odd since everywhere else, the (222) 333-4444 format is used. Is it possible for the application to recognize it?

Otherwise everything else I tested works well. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CeLlgUy:
All of my contacts are now recognized! Thanks for the fix. One question on this autoupdate. Does the app load automatically when you turn the phone on and stay running in the background or do I have to load the app and leave it minimized or (lol) once I load it can i close it and it will stay running in the background?

EDIT: The app does load pretty quickly now so thanks for addressing that. I'm guessing that this means it is always running in the background?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
The number that's being checked is the one gvv sends to the dialer when returning a call, ie. +12223334444 with +1 stripped off. I'll try to reproduce and correct your case for the next build.

You guys need to start the app yourselves for now, the improved load time is because I dropped an initial update from the startup. For now just start the app and leave it minimized. This will get improved as time goes on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I think he's saying that it's stored in his phone with the parenthses "(123) 456-7890". It would need to strip all special characters to prevent this from happening. I noticed that in my phone as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Yeah any time you do number comparison you need to first strip out any characters other than 0-9.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Yup, you guys are right, I just did it in a lazy if statement. I didn't know you could get special characters into outlook phone fields. Live and learn :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancnpete:
love the progress being made here, this app has made GV actually usable on winmo looking forward to continued improvements.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lmf:
hi by any chance will this work on non touchscreen phones i.e tornado 6.5 standard? it gave me a vb error / resource not found - opening the app after its installed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
SenseSDK does not support non-touch devices as far as I know. So unfortunately that means that non-touch devices will never be supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adoute:
Auto Update - disable?

Great app - thanks for the time and effort you've put into it.

With the addition of auto updating in v0.4, the settings only allow for a time range of 1 to 99 minutes. Is there a way to disable auto updating? If not, would you consider adding an option to disable it in the next release?

Thank you -
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lmike0056:

Unable to login

I have a tilt2 running EnergyROM 21903 and cannot log in. Continue to receive "Could not login".

I input my user information hit save and then hit update but continue to get error.

DISREGARD, after a soft reset it is working fine now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Not in there now, it will be in the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazgiz79:
headphone

not sure if this is related but i listened to a voicemail earlier with headphones and now my phone thinks the headphones are still plugged in. I've tried a soft reset and if I plug headphones in they still work but no sound will come out of phone because it thinks I have phones plugged in. Anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance! I have a sprint touch pro2 with the stock 6.5 rom.

Edit: I'm sure it's not the software now as I've done a hard reset and it still thinks a headphone jack is plugged in. I don't have tep so wish me luck the sprint store can get whatever's stuck unstuck. fml

Anyone ever seen an app like this for the Palm Pre for winmo phones?

http://forums.precentral.net/homebr...set-those-us-handsets-stuck-headset-mode.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisw05:
so i was thinking about the updating thing and thought maybe you could make it check to see who each new txt through the phone cariier is because google has there own number they will send you voicmail notification and if it theres a text from that number have your app update then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
I've had that happen to me as a hardware problem with my tp2, i guess the bit that detects the audio jack likes to get stuck. I blew in mine and it poped out, if that doesn't work take it to your provider, if you're on sprint with tep they're real nice to you.

Chris, that's a clever idea, I love it, push updates! If I can do it, it will be in the next version.

I assume some people still want timed updates?

If I can do it, do you want the sms removed from the inbox or leave it alone?

Quick Poll:

Anyone using this on a square (320x320) device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ttkyles:
GV user

Nice app. thanks so much ! Text would make it complete on my TP2. But nice interface !and the sliding action slides seamlessly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christopher L:
You app is great I really like it.

I think removing the text from google or atleast marking it read would be the way to go if, there is a notification from GVV of the new message.

Is there a way you can add an option to auto download there voice mail.

Keep up the good work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazgiz79:
Second Edit: Not sure how this fixed it and hard resetting didn't fix it but I made a call into voicemail with my activesync/usb plugged in and headphones plugged in and then pulled them both out during the call and somehow it released whatever was stuck because I was able to hear through phone again and turn on speaker phone. I would still like an app that could force what mode the phone was in though in case this issue comes back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Colombia81er:
One thing i have noticed that it won't update my new Voicemail nor SMS when i hit the update there from 3 weeks ago =/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] typester:
Dream come true!!!

This app is GREAT! i have been just as sick and tired of not having a visual voicemail app for google voice. i use GV almost exclusivly for all my calls and no one has my actual cell number making my life so much easier, but no VVM was bugging me.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

hopefully we can get it close to as complete as the android app at some point, its the ONLY thing i envy about android.

if i can be of help in any way let me know, i burn though about 7000 minutes per month on my phone and 85% of that is all Google Voice so i'm a good tester i think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pjdj:
Just got the latest version:

When updating, I keep getting a JSON parsing error. Keeps happening until I hit OK and close the app.

Great idea, has a lot of promise. I'm a programmer. Anything I can do to help - PM me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Yeah, that's not on the first page of xml from gvoice, I'll add pagination support at some point, but at the moment it's not a priority, sorry.

Do you get an id or just a json parse error?

This is done, great idea.

I can either delete the sms or leave it alone, which do you guys prefer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joeonsunset:
AWESOME! I've been waiting for this FOREVER, and even tried to come up with kludgy solutions on my own but could never get there. This could be a KILLER APP to bring visual voicemail to the WM world.

SUGGESTION:

Ever think of using a listener to perform an update on SMS/Email from Google Voice? Then, you could delete the SMS. That'd be push-voicemail.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAD_Matt:
I received the JSON parsing error as well, it had an ID but I didn't get it. I soft reset my phone and it hasn't returned, if it does, I'll be sure to record it.

Additionally, this app is pretty awesome and has GREAT potential. I'm a very technical person, but do not have a programmers mindset, otherwise I would offer assistance. I can however run tests for you, I have TP2 that I use to test apps on, that way I don't mess up my HD2 :D

So if need any beta testers before you release, I would love to help!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisw05:
I wouldnt mind it getting deleted but some otheres might want it so maybe be able to turn auto delete on/off!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I didn't even know that was possible but it sounds amazing. I'd want it for push-SMS more that I would for push-Voicemail though. I've been using Matt Sullivan's GVEasySMS to send SMS and push-Gmail for incoming SMS but if it could be all handled (and "Push"ed) all in one app, that would be pretty sweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pjdj:
I get this every single time the program updates either manually or automatically (updates still seem to come through correctly).

Here you go:

"JSON Parse error.(ID: 56eb2744ed500b6534422a9ed7f31a6a3 ..." rest looks like it may be cut off.

Also, am I stupid or is there no way to go back through the menu, like, say you click on a VM, then decide you want to go back without doing anything to the VM, you have to go to the drop down on top and select SMS, then select Voicemail to get back to that screen.

[Edit - Yes, I am stupid as I was trying to drag my finger the wrong way. I see you an go back with a finger swipe now]

BTW, what are you using to make this? I've messed around with the Google Voice API for Python before so I'm pretty familiar with that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0unds:
thanks for the hard work.

does the app rely on the user's email address being @gmail.com? i've got my gv account paired to my non-gmail address and i've gotten nothing but "login failed" messages, even after a soft reset.

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Colombia81er:
So how can i look @ my new stuff ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Log into Google Voice on your computer and take a look at:

https://www.google.com/voice/inbox/recent/voicemail/

That'll send you your messages as an xml file, you should be able to find the offender by ID. If possible, please PM me the JSON data and div container for that ID, otherwise you can delete the message and the problem should go away.

I don't follow you ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAD_Matt:
Here is a screenshot of the error:

[EDIT] Here is the id 9ab7dc712b0158acb53272abecd91302a4214960 pulled from the xml link you provided
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisw05:
Any new progress?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
Thanks Mat, I'll try to figure out where the problem is.

Chris, I've got a couple of things up my sleeve, but nothing huge.

I've been busy with work and re-factoring the code so it can take command line parameters and run as a scheduled task. (Along side of doing updates when the GV sms comes in, that's done, though broken by the restructuring right now :P)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAD_Matt:
No rush! Great work so far!!

Running on Touch Pro2. After putting in the settings for my account (fully qualified e-mail address) and saving it still gives me the error about 'Error: Unable to login"

Already tried reboot and re-installing. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
I just got a message in my account that doesn't parse, so that just put that bug at the top of my list. ;)

Edit, looks like it doesn't like not having a location given? Are the messages you're having trouble with missing a locale as well?

If so next version will fix the JSON error.

Edit 2: I'm seeing the specified argument was out of range exception as well now. It looks like there's a problem getting rnr_se when that happens. I'm looking into why this happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] extreme_blue:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values

Am I the only one still getting this message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sl4sher:
This should be fixed in 0.5, give it a try from the first post.
