I searched this, and was surprised not to find any threads on this topic, as I'm sure it has been answered already, but anyways...

I'm travelling in the US for the next 2 weeks, and I want to avoid roaming charges on my cellphone. I do have wifi where I am, and I want to know if there's any way that I can use this to avoid roaming charges.

I know there are SMS apps that send texts over your data connection, and I just wanted to see if this would help me evade roaming charges.

On a side note, if anyone knows, does rogers charge roaming on incoming and outgoing, or just outgoing?

And, can I get both my incoming and outgoing to come through wifi?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PurpleFries:
Just wanted to bump this one up as I would really prefer to know the answer soon
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hipditch:
I have textplus on my phone and that does allow me to send messages through wifi and I can also receive them. When I send a message it uses a really funny number (like 1001-2223202) But you select a name to be shown when the person receives the message. Also if you want to receive a message the sender has to reply to the funny number not your typical cell number, If the sender send you a message and you donèt have wifi on, the message shows up the next time you open the app.

Hope this helps....

I dont know why your are going out of your service area but another option is to pick up a SIM card for a local network when your away. You can get a cheap SIM and get a pay and talk type plan while your in that area, this way you can make local calls and message without worrying.

I guess it all depends on you situation.

Google voice works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PurpleFries:
@designerfx

I don't have an american number to tie Google Voice to, so I can't use it as it is exclusively for the states.

@hipditch

Thanks, I'll try that. I'm out of my service area because I'm on vacation
[Nexus One General] Incredible_Culp:
This might have been a thread in the past, but i'm not sure... feel free to direct me to the thread lol.

So anyway, i just wanna know what all of you have as a facebook app.. what facebook app has the most to offer that you choose over the others?

I personally use the facebook for android and bloo 1.5

The reasons: facebook for android- I just like the widget because I can publish my status right on my home screen and see the news feed real fast..

bloo 1.5- I use this because of the real good notification updates and of course, the facebook chat..

I know "to my knowledge" that there really isn't alot of "complete" facebook apps out there, i just wanna know what all of your insights are about using facebook.. thanks guys :)
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
I'm happy with the Facebook app. I use Nimbuzz for FB chat.
[Nexus One General] Ryjabo:
I don't mean to pee in your Cheerios, but Facebook sucks.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
It sucks so bad there's like a billion people on there lol. :P But I personally don't use Facebook either..
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Only if you have no friends.
[Nexus One General] unknownrebelx:
lets not start a flame war. If you don't like facebook, don't use it. If you do like facebook, use it. Some people like iPhones over Android. To each their own.

That being said, back to the topic...

I was wondering this too. The stock facebook app sucks at getting notifications. I was thinking about trying bloo. I don't necessarily need chat (ebuddy for that), just notifications.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Removed due to my stupidity...
[Nexus One General] rookie1082:

[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
itd be nice if we could port the iphone's fb app over to android... its wishful thinking :p
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
HUH? My wife says the Android Facebook app is MUCH better and a lot faster than Facebook on her previous phone, ipony 3G.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Facebook app on android is trash.

The good news is that apparently zuckenberg has recently begun using and android phone. Maybe he'll be offended enough to get a proper app built.
[Nexus One General] Ryjabo:
I'm sorry, everyone. I guess I kinda did start flames with my comment... I just loathe Facebook a.k.a. MySpace 2.0

It's not that I don't enjoy interacting with friends, but I do that with text messages, phone calls, and real life. I mostly don't like Facebook because of:

1. Bloated, ugly interface

2. Constantly changing (not for the better)

3. Completely bullsh** privacy settings

Anyhoo...

Yes, it is complete trash. Not all posts show sometimes, your own posts don't show sometimes, posts you've commented on would disappear sometimes, the links to videos and sites don't open most of the time, you can't do a lot of the things you could do on the site, and... I don't feel like going on because I don't use Facebook at all anymore, anyway.

I say that having never owned an iAnything, too. Well, I had an iPod Nano once, but I can't stand iTunes, so I sold it.

Hopefully Zuckerberg will improve the Android app for those that use it.
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
as the previous posts above mine state, android fb app is trash. the iphone fb app allows you to tag photos, ability to view profile photo properly, swipe through fb photo albums (as opposed to the ****ty arrow buttons for android), event viewing, favorites tab, cant think of the other stuff off the top of my head.

they chose to develop the fb app for iphone more thoroughly than the one for android
[Nexus One General] MvP77:
i use a combo of android FB for widget, Bloo 1.5 for notifications and Go facebook chat pro.
[Nexus One General] tariqgibran:
The best Facebook widget I have used so far is Friendstream which is contained in the Desire Rom port. I have yet to find anything as complete in the market for stock Android. I had high hopes for the app Pure Messenger but it still has a ways to go as it currently does not indicate important info within the title of each post. For instance, a post like "thank you, blah blah blah" will lack the beginning tag Susan>Lisa giving no indication who the post is talking about. The other cool thing about Friendstream is that if you open a post with images, they open directly without going to the web site.

It's really hard to believe that there is nothing decent in the entire market for stock android.
[Nexus One General] jsapp:
I just use a short cut to the touch site, and fachat for chatting. Haven't cared much for the apps, but don't use facebook as much as others either.
[Nexus One General] hdomingu:
Just downloaded the new update for the facebook android app and its a little better. I still hate that when you click on notifications it sends you to the browser
[Nexus One General] unknownrebelx:
Yeah that it does, but at least now it tells you if you have any notifications. That's one thing fixed

I think in order for it to be usable though, it needs to stop sending users to the browser. If I wanted to use the browser, I would (and actually do have it bookmarked for when the app gets too annoying).

I would like to have integrated chat and a better picture uploading interface now. Baby steps haha.
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
i hate that photo bar down the bottom!!!
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
The Aim app is the best app for chatting on FB I have seen none better. Also this new app is okay, is there a way that I'm missing to save pictures from the app to your sd?

My desire from hungary and its unlocked, im in the US too, I installed the update this morning over wifi.
[Desire General] citizenkaine:

I have an unbranded desire from Germany I'm using stateside. I didn't want to lose root so I waited for a rooted update from the development forum, but everything is working fine on T-Mobile US with the update installed.
[Desire General] hugo_ramirez@cox.net:
I hope this isn't a silly question, but I just go to settings-about phone-software updates-refresh?

Yep, got my unlock desire from Spain and updated this morning as well. On AT&T plan, works well so far.

I'm not able to download attachments in webmail (for work) in 2.2 browsers dolphin or stock. I used to be able to download them in 2.1. For example exel sheets or pdf files. I'm on cm6 nightly but also tried leaked 2.2 and neither worked. Anyone have a solution?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
What exactly happens? It never prompts you for a save as location? or?

Edit: I just sent myself a blank excel file, logged into Gmail with dolphin, and was able to download it. I am using the newest version of cm6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobrakes:
When I click on the attached file in webmail, it will download the file but says download unsuccessful. It worked fine when I was on stock 2.1. I'm running cm6 and tried leaked 2.2 with no luck. I'm going to flash back to stock 2.1 and test again. Thanks

Ok I just flashed back to stock 2.1 and it didn't download. Must be something with my work server.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
If you want to test more, try logging into gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc and see if you can do it there vs. your work webmail.

However I have tried the PC36IMG image copying and that didnt work. It would keep telling me that the main version is older and tell me to reboot. When i tried to use the RUU exe it would tell me that it

Please get the correct Update Utility and try again.

I dont understand since im using the HTC Evo 4g one. I also already had the Htc sync connect.

Any ideas?

i have been trying to get MetaMorph to work on my Nexus One to get themes on my phone and i have had no success whatsoever. I keep either getting to the install screen and getting stuck there or it gives me an error message that says "the theme you selected in invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly writtten (contact theme creator). Anyone have any idea what is wrong??

I was going to post images of the error messages but my account has to be approved by the moderators first
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
This should be in the q&a section.

The error you're getting means you have an old morph and it needs to be updated in order for the latest metamorph to use it. (i.e. the new .xml config file is missing)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] blackout182:
Hey people. First time post but first time problem:

So i installed a manila 2D rom last night and i thought it was working quite well... Then it became unstable and restarting and reinstalling itself and freezing until it just now comes onto the HTC Windows Mobile splash screen and does nothing.

So i hold the top two buttons in and reset to get to the three coloured screen and try to flash a new Rom to it and it brings up the progress bar up to two percent, and then restart.

Is there anything i can do or is this phone a right off? Cheers guys :o)

Im a physician and need to use my EVo to be paged by SMS, can someoen recomend a setting or hack to ensure when message is recieved, I get notified every X mins till I acknowledge, this way I dont miss any messages
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
I like handcent SMS. It can do all sorts of stuff including reminders.
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
Handcent does not have the option
[EVO 4G General] Faxman:
I beg to differ docsboard... It has many different reminder settings. I had the same need and it does extremely well. Try it and dig into the settings.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
handcent does have the options for reminders.. can't tell ya where exactly it is in the settings, but it's there.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Handcent does have reminders. Open Handcent, on the main screen hit menu and open Settings > Notification Settings > Notification Settings and scroll down to Reminders.
[EVO 4G General] UrbanMuppet:
Also try Tasker. Great app. ;) Tasker > State > Received SMS > Sender >

Can set alerts, like flash led, vibrate, notify, etc. Can use it to call a number (home phone, pager?) play a sound, or anything else you can think of.

It's free on their home page, I recommend buying it from the market if you use it.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
The good doctor must not have time to check his thread or thank people for their help, even when he overlooked Handcent altogether. Or he's just rude. Maybe he needs to get an e-mail reminder (assuming thread replies send him an email).

Kidding, kidding. :D

Has anyone managed to install a certificate to encrypt email?

I need to use secure email for work, came from WM6.5 where I was able to install a Comodo email certificate

TIA
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
no takers?
[EVO 4G General] LalalandUK:
Hi,

I've managed to obtain a Comodo certificate and install it on my Desire.

I tried requeting the certificate on the Desire but it failed to install no matter what I did. So I requested it on my laptop instead, installed it to my laptop then exported it in PKF format. Copied the PKF file to my Desire and then renamed it to have the extension of PK9.

Put the PK9 file in the root of the SD card and ran the import certificate option from the security menu in the phone. This worked, the certificate was installed on my phone and I can see it.

Now here's the problem - Despite the certificate being installed I cannot find any way to use it to sign or encrypt emails on the email client on the Desire.

I guess I'm in the same boat as you :(
[EVO 4G General] ISSMER:
I am still trying to figure this out as well. We use IPSec based VPN to connect to the company network. Once authenticated at the firewall, we use our domain account credentials to authenticate to the microsoft exchange server.

Are you guys able to access internal websites that require certificates?

I am logged into my company wireless router and I am able to connect to non access controlled internal websites (i.e. http://). However, I am have been unable to connect to access controlled internal websites (i.e. https://).

Linpack is roughly 37-40..running stock CPU speed, right out of the box, FPS2D is at about 29, WIFI works, front and rear camera work, fron camers goes to 8mp, Blue-tooth works, lookes like wirless tethering works, allthough I don't actually have anything to connect to it and test it, but it starts and runs without any errors. So far so good! Oh yeah, and very quick and stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] samrozzi:

[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzoads:
Thanks for the hard work. I'll probably flash this tonight to test.

For those who have already, how is the battery life? I've used Hero's Hero's 2.1 ROM before, DC 3.2.3 (with the "battery saver" profile), and Baked Snack 9.7. Battery life was much improved on all 3. I want to update to Froyo, but not at the expense of getting 2 days out of a single charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Well it's been good so far....ill be keeping an eye on it while I'm at work today.
