Has anybody else noticed that with each new update, texting works less and has more fing bugs than you can shake a stick at? Some days...it really drives me nuts, and I think its sprint's crappy 3G, but the issues are the same when on wifi or 4g, too.
Which version was the best (I think one before the current version); does anyone have that .apk?

Hmmm, no, haven't had any issues to be honest. Don't know if it's location based or what, but just to offer another data point I'm in downtown Chicago and rarely stray out to the 'burbs. Could possibly be different somewhere else.
No issues with Google Voice here whatsoever, except for the occasional (<1%) time when a call doesn't get routed to me, or the (<5%) chance that the person listens to about four extra rings before my cellphone starts ringing.
I have even fewer troubles than drmacinyasha and I'm in a small town in Iowa.
You are so lucky.
My texts get hung up, wont send, freeze the whole app, then the other person gets it 5 times, ect. Doesn't matter 3g, 4g, or wifi. Its all I use for texting because I'd rather type on my computer, but when I actually have to text from my phone...its a different story.
what rom are you using? how do you know there isn't another app causing the problem?

Myn's RLS 5. I've uninstalled the app and other apps several times - happened on other roms too, like Fresh's.
mine lag as well. Same ROM. maybe its time for a switch
Are you using the anonymous voice feedback? (whichever thing it asked about opting in to when you search for the very first time) I noticed when I said "no" on stock Sense it worked poorly, then better on Warm 2.2 RLS5 and CyanogenMod7 when I said "yes."
What you are describing used to happen to me but it doesn't anymore. The latest version actually fixed multiple and send failures. Other than I've seen once or twice of deleting something then it comes back later, is the only thing I've seen that isn't working right. What's funny is that occasionally, like right now, I use the evo and not the evo shift. I notice lag in the old evo that isn't as bad or isn't there at all in the shift. On both phones I'm running stock rooted.
The only thing I've noticed is that one time I didn't get a text from my girlfriend. Phone calls work great. Texting works great. Maybe I'm the lucky one.
I had the same texting problems with the any rom with the stock messaging.

They need to update a lot of their apps. Google Voice needs multiple recipient texting. Google Reader needs a "mark as read" feature implemented. Google Reader needs bookmarks. And the list goes on. Instead... they put out Androidify. Don't get me wrong, I made one. But still, there are more important things they could be doing.
Hey there. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have Line2 working on my rooted Motorola Xoom. It works on 3G and I am making calls and texting. It requires another Android phone that can download Line2 and App Saver to package the .apk file, but viola, it works!
Props nice find
Line2 apk
Hey radiogodd30. Do you happen to still have the apk file? The Xoom is the only android device I have a this time so I am unable to download it from the ap store.

Looks all but perfect. I'll probably wait around for an official Android 3.x supported release, but it's good to see that something like this works. I'm sure I'll subscribe once that's the case.
Works on my wi-fi zoom too, in case anyone is wondering.
Of course you have to be around a wi-fi hotspot to make/receive calls, but I'm pretty much ALWAYS around a wi-fi hotspot, so it's a viable option for me.
On a side note, this is COOL! Making calls from a xoom!
radiogodd30 is awsome
That line2 apk worked perfectly. I am now using line2 on my xoom. Thank you
Its cool and all, but not something I'd pay monthly for. I wish text free would update their app.
I use Line2 on my Thunderbolt, ipad2 and zoom. Find that it works best on IOS devices.
Charlie
correction on perfectly
My xoom is only working for wifi. the dialing section of the settings tab is not there. I think it is because the app thinks I am a non phone tablet so doesn't need the option. I am guessing on that. I haven't found the configuration files that I hope exist on the xoom to make that change manually.
I know found tjat groove ip is a better solution to make or receive calls using Google voice so no monthly fees just the one time free of 3.99 to buy the app that's ot

Could be, but with line2 I get a ring even when my screen is sleeping and texting built in so it works like the cell phone I am trying to replace.
Anyone happen to know where settings are kept for line2 on the phone? apparently xoom is not at the top of the list of devices they are moving to support so tech support was not really helpful. from the conversations, it sounds like the app thinks my device is wifi only so does not show the dialing (use 3g/4g) section on the settings tab. I am assuming that there is only one app that is hiding that part of the configuration instead of maintaining two versions. IF that is true, there is probably a 'don't use 3g/4g' setting stored on my phone wherever they keep the configuration info.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RE-UPLOAD THE OLDER LINE2.APK file. I had to reset my Xoom and lost it and the newer one DOES NOT allow you to make calls on the XOOM!

I've got the 1.0.5 version, but am having speaker issues. It will work fine for a week or two then it will be super quiet. without any specific action that i can identify, it starts working again. Then there is the no phone on my 3g connection. only wi-fi.
Does anyone know what the 1.0.8 version fixed? And does it effect the Xoom.
And of course the obligatory demand for the apk to be posted. Does anyone have it. and Thanks in advance.

As we all know Gingerbread has been in the oven... And I was one of those people who could not wait for it to cool off. As soon as I saw the leak early saturday morning, I was already downloading. what could go wrong, right? I odin'd the ef02.tar, started her up and wow, she's beautiful, save the extra ugly 4g symbol in the window sill (notification bar) that looks even worse now than previous desserts.
Keep in mind this is a stock .tar. No root. No cwm. No nothing. Except bloat. Low and behold my beautiful lil girl had a very serious functionality flaw. After my first reboot, no more incoming phone calls :^(...
So I've tried everything, I gained root, installed cwm 3.1.0.1 wiped data, cache, dalvik multiple times. Re odin'd the .tar. Flashed Decad3nce's odexed and deodexed roms. Updated modems. Tried frozen on ec05, took a shot at simply AOSP, odin'd a stock ec05, even went all the way back to eb13, with cwm 2.5 (changing file systems when needed) now I'm back to a bone stock ec05 from the stickies in development... Still no incoming phone calls. I called sprint technical and they were unable to resolve the issue.
Funny thing is I can make calls, I have data (3&4g), I can text, just won't receive.
Has anybody else seen anything remotely close to this. If so please comment, if not, comment anyways. I wanna get some opinions on my situation.
P.S. feel free to laugh at my short comings, lord knows just thinking about it brings chuckles to my mind...

You know, i did install google voice. But ive installed it multiple times until now, so i figured it was unrelated. But this past time it did take my texts through there, which had never happened before. thats why i uninstalled it. Im gonna check that out and see if it fixes it. Good luck with your issues.
Sounds like you clicked yes to Sprint integration (ports your number temporarily to google). So they go to your google voice account, however you can check an option to have them sent also to your phone as well (although if you do this with google voice installed you will probably get 2 notifications per 1 sms). Also call screening is an option that is enabled by default, option in google voice (desktop web interface). I had to turn that off too (the press 1 thing). Hope this helps, its just options. Also you could go online and disable the integration and go back to normal.
EDIT: Also make sure your phone is listed to receive calls in the web interface (via a desktop). I know it should do this by default but maybe it didn't for god knows what reason?

I had disabled it, it just took a bit. but its all working again Thanks so much man.
I remember when I did that... Sat there for an hour pulling out my hair before I realized I needed to click the number on the right side of the GoogleVoice Page to change the settings. Not my proudest moment.
Yea, I think if multiple people on smart enough to flash a rom get confused I think google needs to make thinks a bit easier to understand. Glad I could help.
The GV set up options really suck. i already have a gv number and always have to go into the desktop voice application and disable the integration.

I just came back from the sprint store, and none of there techs could give me anything in depth about google voice.

I had to use a pc at the store while I was warranting my samsung dock (fyi don't use desk dock with any charger other than tge one provided)
I want to use the built-in dialer for sip, which is inaccessible in stock. part of the reason I want this is I want to use bluetooth and still haven't found a voip/sip app that supports bluetooth. Others say grooveip works fine, but I'm Canadian so no use.
Or is there an easy method of enabling in stock now? I read before of some method where you had to change the dpi and do some other things and then add your sip credentials and then modify the dpi back.
But I'm curious to know if most custom roms have it enabled.
I'd also be interested getting the stock dialer for sip. Preferably in Stock rom.
do you mean the phone.apk ?

This post describes the method of enabling the sip dialer. A little clunky but doesn't sound too hard, haven't tried it yet though. He mentions bluetooth is a little shaky which is disappointing. Does bluetooth just suck in general with android or what?
But anyone who is running a custom rom, can you tell me if the dialer is enabled, if so, what are you running?

4.2 has really irked me and I'm looking again at installing a custom rom, probably cyanogen as that's what I ran on my old nook color.
So can someone running cyanogen or any custom rom tell me if the dialer is enabled?
I've ran lots of custom roms and haven't seen a dialer once. We've never had 3G.

Thank you for answering! Now at least I know custom roms don't have it, but it's disappointing. You mention we don't have 3g I know that, and that's probably the logic why google disables it. But carriers also disable things like that to prevent voip usage, so it's kind of irrating, and surprising that custom roms wouldn't enable it either. Especially since I know it was there on cm7 on my nook which didn't even have a mic. I put in my sip creditentials in cm7 just to test a call and it worked fine, but again obviously it had no mic. I thought oh well, next tablet. Well now I have the next tablet and I was somewhat hoping google wouldn't do what the carriers typically do. I think it also avoids confusion because people think it's a phone as well, but why not at least have a developer option to enable sip dialing or something.
I may request on the cyanogen mod forrums if they could please enable it.
Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!
Marc
I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.
