Release notes
Power saving mode (”Turn off screen” menu option). When you select this option device screen turns off, while Loudtalks keeps running so you can receive messages and respond to them using central navigation key.
Vibrate option (if supported by device). It’s turned on by default so when you set your status to Away or Busy your device will vibrate on new messages. You can turn it off in Settings.
Report a problem… menu option. If something doesn’t work you can send us a report right from the software.
(Hint: even if everything works please use it to send your feedback or suggestions!)
Activate contact list, when switching to Loudtalks from other applications. Now you can use push-to-talk without tapping contact list first.
Automatically select the contact, when new conversation starts. That way when you hear “New conversation” alert, even if your screen is turned off, you can respond immediately by simply pressing PTT hardware button.
The website Loudtalks.com will automatically detect Windows Mobile device browser and display a mobile-optimized page so the easiest way to get the new Loudtalks is to visit Loudtalks.com on your device

Loudtalks works great over WiFi and 3G, and even could be used on GPRS and EDGE. ..

Yea it will it's an OTA app it's not as responsive as say Nextel but works pretty good. only problem is if you leave it runnign it eats your battery because it keeps the data connection open while its on.

Yes you can.
slide out the keyboard press on the first contact (with stylus) push the CTRL button and select another contact or contacts and push the send button.
PS you english is not that bad.

thanks
but with diamond can not make it , this app would be awesome if could be minimized and the battery issue cause the conecction always activate.
thanks great program

My first post, new user to Windows Mobile 6.1 have a HTC Touch Pro on Sprint. I like the idea of 2-way, as I am a former Nextel customer, and used to sell 2-way public safety radios.
Will there be plans to create an app for non-Window devices? We have a Samsung Rant in the family as well as we are Mac users. Be great to see this grow into a decent wired/wireless arena. Lot of nice possibilities.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Belsj,
I was wondering if there's a maximum range it covers since it's a walkie talkie application but it uses the internet e.g. wifi, 3g etc so I'm assuming it can connect to anyone?
Can you please confirm?

Range is WORLDWIDE.. and if there is a internetconnection in the ISS spaceconsole, then it's even "space"wide

Just got Loud Talks works absolutely awesome all work computers and 6.5 phones work

Stock Dialer "Video Call"?

Im getting my 7.7 Tuesday and a question about the stock dialer.
Will it have "Video Call" option?
My GNote does.
My previous P-1000 did too..
Although I could NEVER get either to work.
I would dial someone and my mug would appear on top for a second then disappear.
The the call would disconnect with a "Unable to make Video call" message or something to that effect.
Has anyone gotten the Video Call to work?
Do you have to call some-1 who ALSO has Samsung's dialer w/vid-call?
Thanks for reading.

There is a "Video call" button on the stock dialer, yes.
I never tried it though.

Me too

The reason this doesn't work over here in America is that essentially, way back in 2003 or 2004, when the rest of the world was well on their way to rolling out the then new UMTS (aka 3G) standard, part of that included a sub-layer protocol integrated into it's data services that allowed for QoS. Basically, bandwidth priority for video calls. Yes, people over there were making full fledged video calls on their cells phones, 8 years ago, with no WiFi needed. True story. (And Steve Jobs made it sound like FaceTime was something "new" and "revolutionary..." Heh, bite my metallic Android @$$!)
Anyway, long story short, Cingular/AT&T Wireless, for whatever reason or another, never decided to implement the protocol stack necessary to make video calls over UMTS. I know they briefly experimented with instant video messaging (where you could be on a call, take a video, and then send it as a message), but supposedly that never caught on. THEN, when video calling really might have caught on, they still had an exclusive deal with Apple, and of course it wouldn't have been in Apple's best interest if every phone could make and receive video calls... I mean, what would be so special about FaceTime then? Nothing...
Finally, today, AT&T still hasn't implemented video calling. Why? Who knows... They'll probably spin the whole "spectrum shortage" spiel as an excuse for not implementing a standard which has been available to the rest of the world for nearly a decade...
Then again, maybe they'll roll out this feature once they've rolled out LTE--wait a second... Chuck Testa is calling...

[Q] How to test if Wifi hardware works

I bought a HTC INC2 from a guy last week. It is unlocked so it works perfectly with my ATT sim and I managed to get 2G running. Then I checked the GPS, Camera and so on, everything looks fine until I wen back to home. Because there is no Wifi network in my work place so I didn't find the wifi seems not working. The phone cannot found any wireless network at all. I am sure I made the ssid is broadcasting. I was thought it probably not happy with my wireless router so I closed all security setting. But the phone still cannot find the open network. So I drove to our library where have public wireless access, still nothing. On my way back, I use my other phone as a hotspot, nothing happened even I put two phone together.
Here is a list of things I did in next couple days, went to a office building which hosted a lot of company. Almost all of these company have some sort of wireless network, my other phone in my right hand can found at least 10 networks while the INC2 which in my left hand can find none. I flashed the ROM to CM7, nothing. update radio, nothing.
Flashed to skyrider, nothing. update radio, nothing...
The guy who sold me the phone said the wifi is working perfectly when he is using it with verizon. He updated to iPhone month before so he didn't notice if the phone stop work with wifi after his update. He seems to me a honest guy.....
Now I want to test if the wifi hardware works. I really want to learn something from this frustrating thing. any idea?
TIA

Probably the wifi is not working. I do not own a HTC INC2 but can flash another radio/modem/wifi driver?
Also there is a hidden menu called Field Test Mode. It may have something about wifi. From wikipedia:
There is a hidden "testing" menu on the device that can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* aka *#*#info#*#* on the phone's keypad. It will bring up 5 categories: Phone Information, Battery Information, Battery History, Usage Statistics, and WiFi information.
Other hidden menus from dial pad: (1) ##debug+call, (2) ##program+call enter six zeros example: 000000, (3) *#*#7262626#*#* - Field test menu, (4) *#*#2432546#*#* aka *#*#checkin#*#* - checks for updates, (5) ##778 (+call for Epst menu), (6) *#*#8255#*#* - Gtalk service, (7) *#*#8351#*#* - voice dialer logging enable, (8) *#*#8350#*#* - voice dialer logging disable

You could try a wifi teathering app check if it transmitting.

check the wifi setting properly if this is not working then i think you should let some phone professional check it

It would seem that the OP resolved their wifi issue months ago.

[Q] How do default my radio to LTE only?

Since I use GV exclusively for my talk and text, I don't need their voice radio anymore, and the only calls I get to that number are spam...so just disabling it sounds just great to me....but setting tghe radio to LTE only manually every boot is a pain in the butt to remember. So here's what I'm looking for....I'm hoping there is a way to set this up easily....possibly a build.prop entry? similar to this one, but another network number??
ro.telephony.default_network=10
I've tried but I can't find one that defines LTE only. Can anyone please help?

I got it...build.prop editing wasn't enough for some reason. I had to do some database editing on the settings storage for it to work. For reference, here's what I did:
download sql lite app from the play store here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
open settings storage > global

find the line:
preferred_network_mode
change the value to 11
reboot
open your stock phone dialer and enter the following or open phone testing menu another way.
*#*#4636#*#*
verify under phone testing LTE only is selected.
this is now your default setting. you can change it back manually if you need to and a reboot will default back to LTE only.
THIS WILL DISABLE YOUR VOICE SERVICE THROUGH YOUR CARRIER!!! THIS INCLUDES 911 AND OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
VoIP and VoLTE will still work!!! You just won't be able to make or receive calls through your sim card's registered number.

or, you could have just dialed *#*#4636#*#* and set it to lte only, which would do the exact same thing. and instead of dialing, there are apps that bring up that menu as well. btw, no voice on lte because our radios are not capable of it, even if our networks supported it.

yup...but the point is it resets when I reboot. This sets it to LTE only and keeps it there
and no voice was literally the entire point of doing this. I use VoIP exclusively and the only time my Tmo number rings is for spam...no joke I get at least a half dozen spam calls every day and not one other call.

Verizon VoLTE Problem with Solution

Hi all,
I installed the 5.1OTA and could not get Verizon Enhanced LTE (advanced calling, VoLTE, etc....) to work. I tried what everyone else suggested and nothing made it work (never showed the enhanced LTE setting in the cellular menu). Here are the steps I took in case anyone else is having the same problem.
1. Re-Install radio and bootloader from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540313
2. Enter the hidden menu using *#*#4636#*#*
3. Go in to Phone information
4. Click the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button (wont change)
5. Click the TURN OFF RADIO button
6. Wait a few seconds (for radio to turn off) and then click the TURN ON RADIO button.
7. Observe that the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button has changed to TURN OFF....
8. Go in to Settings>>...More>>Cellular Networks and make sure that Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is enabled.
I did all this and I still did not have data while making a call. I had to go to VZW site and go into my account and tell it to activate a device on my current line. I entered the IMEI and it gave me a warning about softcard and then went right back to same screen, When I clicked next it gave me a warning that it was unsupoorted device. After this it all worked perfect although the phone is still not recognized on the VZW site.

I can confirm this works. I had the hd voice already added to my line so I had to remove it and then add it back. That seemed to do the trick for me. It hasn't disappeared as it did originally. I'll update if I lose it. Thanks OP

I installed the OTA too and I didn't see the VOLTE switch immediately either.
What I had to do was to log into Verizon and add HD voice to the lines that supported it. After I added them and checked the mobile network settings, I saw the VOLTE switch pop up.
Hope that helps.

o its under free products.. i see it now.. thanks guys.

I added the service to my line then rebooted the phone but still no sign of the setting. Maybe I should have been more patient.
No matter, this solution worked perfectly. thanks

Same here played around in dialer and no go

So..... My problem is that when I enter the settings menu inside of the dialer by dialing *#*#4636#*#* it does show the option to turn on volte provisioned flag but it does not change. Ever. I hit the button, turn off radio, let it turn all the way off, then turn it on, and it still doesnt change. Reboot, still no advanced calling options.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am on Chroma ROM so I'm hoping this isn't an issue, and if it is, does anyone recommend a good stock rom until Chroma gets updated?
Thanks guys!!!

Same problem here. I was using Vanillipop and it worked on that one but not on Chroma

I tried this and got the feature and all on my phone but tried to make a call and got an error then it turned off the features and back to square one.

I did the following and it worked. I had to turn on HD Voice in my verizon account. I did not have to activate my nexus 6 on my line.
type in *#*#4636#*#*. When you hit that last *, your phone will jump into the hidden settings menu. Choose “Phone info” and then scroll down until you see an option for “TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG.” Tap that and then reboot your phone (I had to reboot twice for some reason to get it to work). Once booted, head into your phone’s regular settings menu, tap on “More” under “Wireless & networks,” then “Cellular networks.” You should now see an option for “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” and it should be toggled on.
Edit: There is a chance that you may need HD Voice added to your Verizon account. To do that, you will need to sign-in to your Verizon account and add the feature, which is free. http://goo.gl/eKFV5E
