Voice Calling / Contacts Voice Tagging for the HTC Magic?

Hello everyone
I have recently bought the HTC Magic, moving from HTC P900.
The reason I did that was because it has seamless sync with Google apps, which I am using extensively.
However there is an issue. I used the P900 in conjunction with my Nokia / Bluetooth handsfree device in the car to place calls, simply by touching one button and saying whom I wanted to call.
It was very handy, and most importantly safe!!
I searched a lot to find the voice tagging feature in contacts in the HTC Magic. I couldn't find it. I couldn't find any app in the android store that would add that feature to my phone. I find it very hard to believe that P900 had that feature and the Magic doesn't.
Is there anyone out there who has any insight to this matter?
Thank you all for your time and help.

A good VOIP for the HD2?

My wife and I are getting ready to go overseas and we both have HD2's. Is there a good free VOIP app that we can use?
Thanks in advance.

Skype for HD2 still works.
Download the cab, install it.
I haven't tried with Wi-Fi, but it works great with 3G.

I also used Skype, but only one bad issue occurs when run on HTC HD2 - output sound from rear speaker. Now I use fring, which supports Skype, plus some other communication protocols.

Skype is *not* really a voIP.
You can use fring - however it doesn't have DTMF support.
Might want to check into this:

...or you can simply use the native dialer and the windows mobile voip - but getting it installed & working properly is a little tricky so the agephone one (although not free) might be your best bet.

[SOLVED!!] Visual Voicemail - HD2 Mango 7720

Now that I have 7720 Mango on my HD2, I'm trying to get Visual Voicemail to sync on TMOUS. I know that people with HD7s have it working on TMOUS, but it doesn't seem to work for me on my HD2.
I have the VV service activated with the carrier. It came free when I first bought the HD2 and it worked fine when I was running WM6.5. Then I upgraded to WP7 7004, but without the OS support, it just came through as a SMS. Now that I have 7720, I don't get the SMSs anymore.
I assume that's how VV works... It sends an SMS with a particular code, which the OS or VV app intercepts and interprets, but early builds of WP7 didn't intercept it, hence the message in my inbox.
Anyway, do different OSs use different codes when sending these SMSs? Do I need to contact TMO and tell them that I have an HD7 so that they then send the correct type of SMS?

<Bump>
Has anyone been able to get Visual Voicemail working on ANY carrier??

MANY THANKS TO oakleymandave, who PMed me the solution which he found on T-Mobile's Forum

Apparently sending a text to 122 actually changes a registry setting rather than sending a message. It worked instantly.

Help VVM ORANGE
Sorry, it's 21101 for orange in france and "STATE"...
Don't work for me, vvm djerman work fine, so what's going on with orange ? why did they tel us that it's not activate and since today many hd7 owner clams it work !?
----------------
Hi Guys !
Since today in france it seems like hd7 owner (branded htc) have the visual voicemail working but the operator clams that it's not activated.....
So, I have a HD2 MANGO, with operator package, do you think, there is a workaround like your fix ?

I contacted TMO US and asked to enable VV. No questions asked about phone model. You can also enable online, but it appeared to be changing my monthly fee even though the option is free.
Enabled it in Settings > Applications > Phone and it was working immediately.

When I read a message it's directly on speaker, no way to listen it normally
Is someone has the same problem?

Everything work fine for me.
HTC HD2 ORANGE, WITH MANGO UP TO DATE...

I am on virgin in uk my calls do not forward to voicemail when i dont answer the phone just says not available.
If i put call forwarding on it automatically puts every call straight to voicemail how can i change this so my voicemail works normally.
Cheers

now if we only had tethering we'd be jammin' !

Is There An App Like GrooveIP For WP7?

Iim looking for an app like grooveIP for windows phone 7. groove ip is an app that uses google voice's servers to place free calls using 3g/4g/wifi. i tried freetalk and others arent like it. this is the only thing stopping me from switching over.

There is, sort of... The one I use is called GoVoice and its not as tightly integrated as GrooveIP but it works for the most part over 3G/4G. I'm really not sure if it works over wifi at the moment but I'm sure others will chime in. You can pin the dialer as a live tile and you can also take advantage of text, etc.
Like I said, its not that tight but WP is brilliant and if that's the only thing stopping you, I'd definately give it a go.
Good luck to you whatever you decide

Hi, has there been any development on IP calling that supports google voice on WM7 or 7.5?

Yes. Windows Phone (WP7 - WM refers to Windows Mobile and that O/S ceased development after version 6.5*) has come a long way over the past year. I would not say that voip calling is still as integrated as other platforms are yet but it is certainly doable and easy. The Skype app will do everything you need. You have voip from 3G/4G and wifi. You can send text messages over wifi as well as a new feature where you can send video messages too. It should accomplish everything you need it to do.
Good luck.

Thanks Mobi.
I am primarily interested in UMA-like functionality, seamless operation between wifi and cellular. Basicall there are two reasons for this. One is being able to get signal where there isn't a strong cellular signal, places like storage facility and company's offices that are way inside. The other is while traveling overseas being able to make calls as if I am still in the states. This is another huge advantage if the phone supports native wifi calling. Even if that's not possible I was able to do it with GrooveIP and still use my own number.
Skype is a totally different ballpark, for starters, you would have to pay for that service. Skype to Skype probably works the best on Windows Phone nowadays. No matter which other platform I tried, nothing beats Skype on Windows Phone. I have nothing against any other platforms (I am a blackberry person myself) but I surely hope Windows eventually gets to a point where it is one big system and total operation between desktop & mobile. Making it an extension of your desktop.. Remember Windows Smartphone and WM5? Pocket PC with Cellular service? To date, my favorite "tablet" is Dell Axim.

WiFi Calling

T-Mobile has an interesting app that switches calls and basic texts (SMS not MMS) over WiFi when you lose cellular coverage. There's not too many interesting things in there, but its something that can be deployed to an ATIV S for those of you who are using T-Mobile. This is only the T-Mobile USA version. The T-Mobile European devices might have something similar.
This app has some hooks to RPC Server, so I have no clue what it completely does (as RPCServer.dll can't be actively decompiled easily), so I can't test this. It also has a PROVXML included as well, so I'm not sure how you deploy that on Samsungs. I pulled the app from the GDR2 ROM available for the Lumia 521.
The link below is everything I extracted of use from the CommonFiles, so it includes a few other T-Mobile apps in there too.
The name of the file is CommonFiles.7z and is ~100mb.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays!
EDIT: Here's the Store URL too for those who might want to try playing with the isAvailableInStore setting.
WiFi Calling

It installs on an interop-unlocked ATIV S, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. The app can't remember its settings between launches, and turning the feature on doesn't do anything.
The manifest says it requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, and XAP contains a RPC native component. My guess is that it requires an RPC service only available on T-Mobile-branded phones.

Hmm. Is there anyplace in the registry or something that has a list of available services? I can look in the ROM for it, or I guess that could be its own thread/discussion for another time.
Anyways, users who reviewed the app in the Store mention that they are billed for the usage of minutes and texts using the app, so I'm not sure how they authenticate with the SIM or something.
EDIT:
Here's a good note for those who didn't go to the WP App Store:

Works great on Nokia Lumia 521 except for an outgoing SMS glitch (certain SMS character lengths that end in a punctuation, number, or other special character WILL NOT send over WiFi calling but send fine over cellular). Make sure to update your 911 address online with TMo or it won't work! Also call 611 if you're on a grandfathered plan with actual minutes, and have t-mobile add WiFi calling feature to your plan for free so that calls made using WiFi calling won't count against your plan minutes. If your Lumia didn't come with the app from the factory, you have to hard reset (erases all personal data) after installing app to get it to work.

Hmm, that last part is awkward. No way I'm hard-resetting if I don't have to, although it *would* be convenient for international travel (SMS are free on T-Mobile but calling from overseas still costs a little bit unless doing it using WiFi calling).
You can indeed find the list of all installed services in the registry. They're under HKLM; you may need to dig a bit as they are in a few places. (I keep meaning to provide a registry search feature, but alas, this has not happened yet.) Of course, most of the registry entries for them aren't very informative; these things aren't supposed to be user-visible, so I'm not sure if you'll recognize a WiFi-Calling-related service when you see it anyhow. Also, it might not be available on other (non-T-Mobile-branded) phones anyhow, and we'd need root or a custom ROM to install such a thing.

you are missing two additional parts...this xap is just the "front end" to the whole Wi-Fi calling mechanism. You need the Wi-Fi calling dll and the certificate. It "forgets" the settings unless everything is in place.
If you really want to get it working, get the Lumia 810 FFU and extract it as a vhd. It has everything "baked in" including the certificates and the necessary "ims.config" file.

I guess I didn't get a good look at it.
What else do I need from the ROM and where is it expecting them to be located?

Not sure if everyone knows this but, there is a App in the marketplace that will make calls over WI-FI or your data plan using your Google voice account. It's called "Spare Phone"
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/spare-phone/9508dd56-e881-420f-9185-96ccba768463
I left the US for a business trip, I used this app with the hotel's Wi-Fi for the entire week. No extra fees when Verizon said it would be almost $0.80 a min to make a call and $2 per MB...Wi-Fi only for a week.
It is $3.50 tho...

It also doesn't use your tmobile number. That's the big draw of WiFi calling.

I guess I need to sit down with the T-Mobile app for several hours, it might be using a sip server or something along those lines for the main cellular interface. I'll need to see what all this does too. If anyone want to help, just download the Lumia 521 ROM with NaviFirm+
I believe the product code and the model number is in the 521 thread in my signature.
