I've used Google Voice since it went public and love it. At first, I just signed up so I could get the phone number I wanted (my name) in case I wanted to use it in the future. But I started using it for everything. The pluses have already been stated and reviews are all over the web.

Some things I want to see in the next version:

Ability to separate voice messages from texts (as mentioned above).

Account Configuration from the phone not just the computer.

Ability to send MMS

Most importantly, I want the ability to fully integrate it as a replacement for the standard messaging app so the system and other programs (i.e. vlingo, swift keyboard, etc) can find and use it.

Right now Voice Search does not find Voice messages (major oversight by Google in my opinion).

HTH
[Android Apps and Games] Tynen:
I love the capabilities of it. I love having text messaging for free. I hate the app! it's so slow and needs MMS.
[Android Apps and Games] SplinterMM:
I signed up last month. I don't use it much. I wanted it because I had been thinking of switching to a NJ phone number since I moved here from PA 4 years ago. This way I didn't have to tell people my new number who have my old one already. I tried to get my first name as my number, but couldn't. I was able to get a number with the same last 4 digits so it is easy to remember. I Also got it because I wanted to be able to drop text messaging from Verizon. I don't know how to use google for sms instead yet though.

One thing I really like that I didn't expect was using the google voicemail. I love how it transcribes your messages. This way a lot of times I don't even need to listen to the recording. The transription is fairly good. You can figure out what it gets wrong. I also like how I can delete it right from th message screen and not have to use key prompts. I guess it is like what visual voicemail is kind of like, but for free.
[Android Apps and Games] MercuryTangent:
It works, you just have to manually configure it. Go to your settings, voicemail, select "Google" for your VM provider and make sure your VM number is in the ph# field. Go onto the Google Voice website and select the option to make Google Voice your primary VM.
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
Great capabilities & having free text messaging is cool :cool:. As mentioned already, the app needs alot of work!

For some reason I can't get it to work on Sprint...

Texting via Google Voice is free???
[Android Apps and Games] ShaunMichael80:
I downgraded my sms plan with tmobile and strictly have been using google voice to send all text messages with the google voice app. You will need to send the texts with your google voice number and not your tmobile number...but texts are unlimited as i send like 200 a day and saves me 15 a month.
[Android Apps and Games] iynfynity:
does the free text applies to when you text to other countries?
[Android Apps and Games] dmbfan36_23:
For anyone using GV, I highly recommend "Voice Plus":

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/communication/voice-plus_lfmm.html

...it lets you set dial rules (use GV # vs use regular #) based upon area code and/or contact group. This is one of the two major features missing from GV in my opinion (the other being MMS).
[Android Apps and Games] zekers:
I absolutely LOVE google voice. I have been using it ever since I got my invite in July of 2009. I'm currently outside of the country and I use it to text all my friends and family back home. I even have it linked up with a gizmo5 account which enables me to make and receive calls from the USA. Absolutely brilliant utility! I recently bought a Nexus One and I use the Android App a lot. I also have Sipdroid on my phone and I have Google Voice call me so that I can make free VOIP calls on my Nexus One.

Anyway, I'm curious on the changes to the Google Voice app version 0.4.0 and onward. After 0.4.0 Google added a "fast dialing feature" which uses a unique number for each Google Voice contact rather than the call back feature. This is a major drawback for me because I want to get a plan which includes "Favorite" numbers and add my Google Voice number to the list so that I can get free incoming and outgoing with it.

I have been using the most recent Google Voice App, mainly because I can't use the call back feature being over seas. But, I have archived the 3 last versions before 0.4.0 here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880539 if you want to download.

Anyone else using Google Voice with "Favorite" numbers on their cell plans?

Is there a way I could use the HTC Ozone as a USB keyboard and monitor for a computer? I'm considering making an embedded system, and repurposing my old phone for a display and interface for it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbaltzer:
As the topic says, the twitter app doesn't want to sync with my contacts. It flashes a red warning too fast to read then does nothing. Running stock/unrooted FRF91.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbaltzer:
Nevermind, I just had to clear the app data and try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
looking at the graph on juiceplotter, there are some terms i dont understand.

what does radio: APN and scr 10/10 mean?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
radio:apn (access point name) means you're connected to sprint's data network at that time as opposed to radio: WiFi (which means you're connected to wifi at that time), and scr 10/10 means you're screen was at full brightness. What I want to know is what that fps is when you scroll to a time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
only when i slide the graph left or right does it show fps, and its usually between 3 and 6. does that mean anything?

and I have the screen set to automatic brightness, how come it would be at 10 of 10? its pretty dim most of the time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
not sure - mine stays around 2/10. And I wish I knew what fps means - it only shows when sliding, and mine hovers between 11 and 13.

What rom/kernel are you running? That might account for the differences.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
running fresh 3.1.0.1, and stock kernel, 2.6.32.15.

ive been thinking about switching to a different kernel, just not sure which is right for me. maybe something that can break the fps cap. only problem is i dont understand half of what they say about the kernels lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
hmmm - I'm running baked snack. maybe that does come into play, because I'm using his kernel. and although I don't understand what fps means in relation to juiceplotter, his kernel has the fps fix, so that would explain why my fps is higher, and he underclocks his kernels which could account for the lower scr values.

don't worry about understanding what they say about kernels - once you try a few of them and use them for a while, you'll start to get a feel for how they're different, and what they do. If you want to get your feet wet with kernels, you can't go wrong with netarchy. Stable as all hell, and you'll really appreciate the fps fix after a few days. He even has one tweaked especially for fresh. Just don't forget to nand first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
im about to go to bed, but if i may ask you a quick question... does that netarchy kernel have any problems with it as far as camera, video camera, mms, etc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Couldn't say. I haven't used it myself since I went to BS. Go through his thread though, you'll be able to find all that out there.

Supposedly Clockwork recovery works on the milestone according to the developer

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

I was wondering if it is true or did he just assume that it does because the milestone is essentially a droid
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsixda:
Interesting. Regardless, it's only a matter of time before the exploit for the Droid X gets ported over to our Milestones!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsixda:
I just tried the Clockwork Recovery, but the Milestone doesn't accept it because the signature was not correct.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Silico:
Cool that be fixed?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsixda:
Probably, I haven't tried resigning with the usual testkeys.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Silico:
Could you give it a go? ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsixda:
I can confirm it starts up now, you have to move it to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates, then in your OpenRecovery menu, launch it from Miscellaneous-->Apply update

It's the same as OpenRecovery almost, I don't know what else to do..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Silico:
Well that's interesting that it actually works! Got further than me :D

But could we not flash this as the default recovery rather than having to apply the update.zip and then updating via the recovery?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
Sorry to resurrect, but can you confirm that Clockwork works on Milestone, and subsequently ROM Manager as well (since it only works with Clockwork).

Also, what are the differences btwn G.O.T. (which I'm using now) and Clockwork, and which do you prefer?

Thx
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DAGr8:
essentially its only the same concept , afaik clockwork uses sprecovery we use 'adb recovery' so what we call nandroid backup is not compatible form one another .

essentially they are no benefits of using either ..except for the fact that Openrecovery was built for the milestone . ie there is no reason at allto try and use anthing else .

Got ' OR is not the only one around , they are a few , its only a question of taste witch one you prefer , although the recovery loader built in GOT's allows you to load any recovery you want from within GOT's witch makes it my favorite choice ..

Not big on the ads down on the bottom. Havent noticed much change from another battery app I use. Nice look to it and icons are noce.
[Android Apps and Games] Isabella02:
Read the comments on the martket and i am sure l will try it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] acke2008:
This app is absoloutely fantastic increased my battery life from 6 hours to 20 hours+

I love the widget

Problem is it is stopping my alarm going off each morning. Does any one know how to make your alarm still work with it installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
Update

Battery Booster (Free) just update to Version 1.7. Please read more information about this update Here
[Android Apps and Games] Isabella02:
great app. would be willing to pay for it if you could remove the adds at bottom of screen !!! JUST A THOUGHT !~!:D
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
Suggestion:

Display the percent remaining as well as an estimated time left on the widget

Questions:

Could you go into more detail about the task manager...Does the task manager function similar to autokiller which allows the user to set thresholds as to when the memory manager starts cleaning up various apps.

What is battery calibration?

Will any conflicts occur if you are using other battery tweak programs such as collin_ph's battery tweak for example
[Android Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
I'm gonna call BS on that. It *might* be able to increase battery by a small amount (unlikely, as the very act of monitoring the battery so closely WILL drain more power), but 14+ hours? Absolute BS.
[Android Apps and Games] mortuus82:
Yeah stuff like this dont do magic lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
First thanks for your suggestion.

As for your question:

1. Smart Task Manager: Save more battery by smartly killing idle processes running in the background (Based on Memory Booster - Android RAM Optimizer).

2.A battery calibration means ‘Give your Android a full charge, then let the battery run out. Then recharge it to full'. A complete cycle is counted as a calibration. This is goog for your battery and maximum battery life

3. I don't use battery tweek, so I am not sure. But I will test about this question and post later :)
[Android Apps and Games] landwomble:
Probably need to see some stats. I've tried lots of battery optimisers (ultimate juice etc) and in the end I've removed them all as I get best battery life by doing the standard stuff like turning screen brightness down, setting wifi to turn off after 15 mins inactivity and running an undervolted kernel. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I'm sceptical.
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
You can have a try of Battery Booster, It's totally free. Please leave your questions or suggestions, we will improve it for better use. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] acke2008:
Works pretty good. Notice my phone is running faster. Would be better if the icon displayed the battery level.:p
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
There is a question from TG:"I’m interested in getting the memory booster for my x10 mini pro. I currently have the battery booster installed, and I understand that it is based on the memory booster module.

Question, how much of an improvement can I expect if used together with the battery booster?"

The answer is:"If you install Memory Booster, you can save more battery. We suggest that you disable the Battery Smart Saver in BatteryBooster if you used together with Memory Booster."

Thanks for your question TG. Hope you have a wonderful experience.

[Android Apps and Games] vecchioni27:
I am simply UNHAPPY right now with this app. It looked cool and was very happy to start using it and the first thing I noticed was I could lower my screen brightness so I put it to 0% thinking that was simply the lowest it could go....well NOW I can't even SEE MY PHONE...its simply black...what do i do now?

Assuming I have to wait til I get home from work to plug it in the computer and delete the app manually...

Thanks, have just downloaded and installed this on HTC Magic. I'm a heavy data user so hopefully this app is able to squeeze more juice from the stock battery.
[Android Apps and Games] cyruz1:
This app made me register, heh. Great work, just installed it and noticed that the built-in task manager already freed up about 40mb at least, which is great.

I am curious where it gets the resources from though. Could you shine some light on that? I've been using a task manager already and hope that Battery Booster won't kill any background tasks I actually do want to have running. By signing up here I found out that GMail is working fine. Battery Booster is not going to kill any of my regularly updating widgets, is it?

Anyway, great work! Thanks for sharing this application.
[Android Apps and Games] fooghump:
Lol this made me chuckle out loud!

Looks like yet-another-inefficient-unintelligent-battery-saver with ad to another app by same maker app to me, with a auto taskkiller that is also not really needed in android os.

Am I right that you are praising your own product via another user account as you are doing on other android app websites. or am I to suspicious?

Do you have any statistics and proof of its claimed efficiency?

Coz we don't need no manipulation into using and buying inefficient apps. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Superpower is the app you should use to save battery life. There is 60+ pages on xda forums of tests being ran by users. I have it set to simply control my 3g and wifi turning off when the screen is off, and I noticed a small improvement. The fact is, that's all these apps can really do.

Having an auto task killer built in that can't be manually controlled is ludicrous. Too many things that people shouldn't have killed (alarm clocks, etc...).

These battery savers are analogous to virus scanners on apple products. They don't actually do anything.

And if you say you see more then a couple of hours difference (which is great and why I use superpower), then you're straight up lying.
[Android Apps and Games] emtan:
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the app.

Battery Booster Issue With Bluetooth Headset

When I turn my EVO Bluetooth on and pair my Jabra BT530 headset it only connects to media audio and not my phone. If I turn it off and on again it connects to both the phone and media audio. I also have a Jabra Extreme headset and it also takes two times to connect to the phone. I think the Smart Battery Saver feature in Battery Booster is causing the problem as it only happens when the phone is idle for a period of time. I disabled the feature. Anyone else having this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] cyruz1:
Thanks for updating the app.

Is there a way to keep it from making a sound when the phone's fully charged though? I usually charge it overnight and waking up to a sound notification in the middle of the night is not fun. :)

[edit]: Thanks for the recent update!
