Google Talk on TMOUS HD2.

I have a question to all HD2 TMOUS owners.
It's been stated on the HTC web site that this version of phone will have Google Talk™ software. Can anybody confirm that this is true. And the second thing I would like to know if this software works similar like on Nokia N900. I have friend of mine who has N900 and we just checked that Nokia IM soft can use front cam and you can make a video call. So attractive feature. I was calling him from my home pc via GTalk web, he was using his mobile phone on WIFI and I could see him. Can we perform that on HD2 as well?

The Gtalk is part of the OZ IM.
And is chat only, no voice, file transfer etc.

And I think it uses your SMS quota, so sucks if you don't have a plan.

And the application is horrible. I started it, and the status of the people on my list never changed, I never got IMs unless I initiated them myself, and it seemed like the application would never reboot itself, even with a cold reboot of the phone. So it always said I had 2 conversations going and the people were offline, when they were clearly online on my PC. So far I've been pretty unimpressed with the software on the HD2 and have called TMobile about returning the phone. It's such a shame too, its a damn sexy phone and so fast... I'd just rather have android.

I'm with you on this one, but don't have an equivalent android phone to upgrade to. I don't want what t-mobile considers to be the top of the line, and I can't afford the nexus one.
All I need is fully functioning GMAIL and GTALK and windows mobile can't supply either out the box. I don't want to have to pay for apps to do something everyone else gets for free. I'd be happy with GTALK if it just told me when I get an IM. That's right, I don't get any notifications from it at all . If I'm on the phone I'll hear a beep but don't get anything on the status bar. I looked at it today and noticed I had 2 new chats that I missed. And don't even attempt to switch between 2 chat windows...the first window is never selectable

Use Palringo or IM+ I'm using Palringo, and you can set it up to have two GTalk accounts online at the same time (not that anyone would ever have more than one gtalk account ).

But have you looked at your blackberry? cause, I tried to use my blackberry last night after having HD2 for 7 days.
I do not miss it anymore.
I mean, the screen looked so tiny, I couldn't read anything. haha.
But all in all, I do miss the keyboard.

I don't know what you're talking about, I use GTalk all the time and have never had any issues with contacts updating and conversations work flawlessly inbound and outbound.

Is it possilbe to access Google apps with wifi but no data?

I've done a lot of searching and left messages on various forums with no results--hoping someone can help. I have a G1 running CM5.08. I gave the phone to my grandson after I got a Nexus One. I did a reset and activated the phone with my sim card, and then finished the setup using his Google account. Then he put in his sim card. Now he can access the net over Wifi with no problem, but he can get to any of the Google apps including Gmail (to keep his contacts updated) or the app market. Is there something else I have to do to get it to work, or is my grandson SOL without a data plan. Thanks!

First make sure ur wifi is connected
go into settings then accounts and sync, make sure everything is checked on...
including the Google account itself is green (on) and not gray (off)
press on the google account and check all the boxes (in case they weren't checked off) --- if there not there
Restart the phone,
and try these steps again
remember with wifi on
hope this helps

Thanks but that was a no-go. I just get a sync error on gmail. When I try to access the market. the screen opens and then immediately closes back to the home screen.

I just did this with my wifes phone. She got a G1 from her brother but we dont need or want to pay for 2 data plans especially that she is always home so as long as your G1 is rooted here are the steps, oh and by the way this has worked on 1.5, 1.6, 2.1 and now 2.2 she wanted to try each flavor of android before she made up her mind on which one to actually use, and you can do this with his sim card in the G1, so the steps right:
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Wipe All
3. Repart SDCard or Repair EXT
4. Flash Rom and Gapps if needed
5. Reboot....Wait
6. Wait...Wait
7. Ok once the Android shows up click the android
8. Skip Tutorial
9. Skip Sign in
10. Accept the settings it offers you
11. Once at Home Screen, Click menu and settings
12. Click Wireless & Networks
13. Turn on Wifi
14. Connect to Wifi network
15. Click Home and open settings again
16. Now go to accounts and sync
17. Add Account and sign in with his information
18. Now you should be golden and he should be set up with a G1 using Wifi.
Also I would recommend that you download the app APNDroid from the marketplace. open it up un-check all the boxes and then click the 3G/Edge/GPRS button at the top. That will shutdown any and all data coming in from Tmobile so there wont be a chance at all that he could possible receive a data signal and get charged. Thats what I did with my wifes and it works beautifully. She loves her G1 and She gets all the benefits of a G1 without having to pay data. If you run into any other issues with this and you need help let me know. just send me a Private message and maybe we can chat through Gtalk while you are doing it.
Hope it works. Also in the above post, which Rom are you using cause it could be an issue with the rom with the market?

Thanks for the reply. To answer your question, the phone is running Cyanogenmod 5.08.
I'll see if I can get my grandson over here thid weekend and we'll give it a try!

After doing the steps provided by royalknight you should be fine, just follow these exact steps.

My sister is using a moto cliq with a $15 prepaid plan with wifi with no problem. I didn't have to do anything special to it other then activate it with my sim card. I haven't tried it on my phone though.

mejor ---
pretty funny pic you have there -- also i hope the grandkid doesnt see this! unless he's passed the NC-17 test. Ha.
grandma(pa) - i just tried Royalknight's move on my other 3 G1's (each running a different flavor of Android) and it worked beautifully, but I had to repartition my cards differently per each flavor. So yeah, that works like a charm but leads to OCD when I am trying to decide which phone to take to work each day.
Cheers

Best way to migrate iOS text messages to SGS3?

So I'm finally getting an android phone and I'd like to keep my iphone text messages if possible. I've found some paid apps through web searches but I'm wondering if there's any good free way (preferably without losing imessages being associated with a phone number) or at least some feedback from actual users on which paid app is best/worth it.

I read online that samsung kies will do this, but Im not positive as I dont have my S3 yet. I have a 4S atm.
There are also ways online that show how to extract items from your most recent backup.
Hopefully there is an easier way.
Im interested in moving my calendar over as well as I have already updated my contacts at google.com/contacts

I think I saw that comment about Samsung Kies but I actually have no idea what Kies is and the only thing on the S3 about kies is Kies Air which starts looking for compatible devices. Guess I'll have to check it out.

Samsung Kies is an app for your PC/Mac. Kies Air is an app for your device. Make sure your are looking at the right application.

Well Kies did transfer the messages to my S3. It took freaking FOREVER, like 2 hours for 5500 text messages and it lost a little bit (MMS images were lost and it seems like some imessages came through fine but I'm fairly positive some were lost, no idea what was the determining factor but the majority seemed to work or at least well enough).

The guy at the ATT store told me he could do it, i don't know what they actually use but i said id just do everything myself.

They use a Cellbrite machine, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Personally I like to remove my texts from my phone but I have them back up to my gmail with SMS Backup+

Looks like your problem has been solved by an app, also brings over itunes:

Which apparently isn't available for the AT&T S3. I freaking hate AT&T sometimes.

You can just sideload the apk

Carrier removed Phone!

Hello,
I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, and from some reason, the carrier I bought it from, installed their own ROM and removed the Phone function from the tablet and I can't dial, only use the internet for browsing, so I was wondering, is there a way to bring the phone function back?
Thanks !

If you just bought it - and it is not what it should be - bring it back. Just my .02 cents

I don't think it's only the wifi model because I have a SIM card in it already and I'm using the network mobile. But maybe there is a model with SIM but without Phone?

because of some tax issues, some carriers remove the phone option, when the device has cellular phone calls options, it a "phone" and not a "media device" or "computer tab" and the amount of the tax that the carrier (and you) need to pay goes higher, so they remove it to keep the price fair and not to start **** with the government office that in-charge on the mobile phones.
you always have the option to install stock rom with the phone option, it WILL damage your warranty and its on your own risk.
good luck!

Thanks for making it clear! I know I'm a bit late :laugh: but I forgot about it.
In order to install stock rom you have to root it first right? is there a guide to do the whole process? (rooting + installing stock rom on galaxy tab 2 10.1?)

or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number
or, you could activate google voice, get issued a free phone number, thats what I did on my wifi only model, it would use your data plan instead, and works great, that way you could give your google number to all the gumbahs and your real number to the real folks in your world. Their are a number of apps that you can use and they work seemlessly with your native app and I had great conversations on voip with no noticeable lag.
Their are a number of 3rd party apps that intergrate with google voice, sign up for the service first, I made a deposit on it years ago and make and take calls on it, no problem, with no charges. If they leave v/m the service transcribes the voice mail and sends it to me via email, which is very nice option, along with spam/call block type features it beats the hell out of what the LEC's offer.

Google gives me a phone number and I will be able to call other phones? or it is more like Skype or Viber - that I can call to people with Skype or Viber only? will the people I call to need to pay something?
**Edit : I searched for "Google Voice" in Play Store but I didnt find it, I think it's not available in my country.
I guess I will need to root and install stock rom, is there a guide for doing it on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?

So is it possible to make VoIP calls on a wifi only model? Like with GVoice over an internet connection? Or is there a better app?

sprint voicemail on the 935U software

Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you

This is simple through titanium backup. No one?

The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.

Thanks again seems to be working

Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.

Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.

It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?

Yeah I couldn't get it to work either

Didn't work for me either

Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...

It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back

If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?

Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse

Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.
