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.
.......cks!!! Just about every time I go to check my visual voicemail, it will stop in the middle of playing a message. Couldn't figure this out and then I realized that when I click on play in the silly Windows Media Player and then move the phone to my face so i can hear, the pause or stop buttons must be activating. Not only does the above bother me but I'd really like to use another program other than Windows Media Player. I've gone into the registry and couldn't find a way to change what media player Visual Voicemail uses. I've also looked into other visual voicemail apps because the stock version is not too pretty to look at. Any ideas? Anything? .

I agree that t-mobile's version of VVM is very disappointing, and I stopped using it after 2 days on my TP2.
Have you tried google voice? It's a great alternative, and it'll send you text message transcripts of your voicemails, in addition to archiving them as text AND audio files, off your phone....and you can always listen to them just like regular VM by dialing your gvoice number. I highly recommend it.

Thank you! I may give it a try even though I'm not a big fan of the Google cloud world. Just now trying something called Fusion Voicemail and it's UI looks much better than T-Mobile Visual, so we'll see.........

yeah, I believe Fusion is among the most popular of the 3rd-party solutions. I don't care about having an app on my phone so much as ease and convenience of message managment. gVoice isn't for everybody, but it's filling the role perfectly for me
Youmail works good also.
Thanks guys! Going to try them all, while also trying to figure out if it's possible to just change which media player the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app uses......
T-Mobile Visual Voicemail is horrible for me since the screen stays on when I put the phone to my ear. Then my ears like to tap on various buttons on the screen..
I'm looking for a way to assign a custom notification sound to a specific contact. Like assigning a custom ringtone to a contact so that when they call you know who's calling without looking at the phone. I want to do that with text messages, specifically for one very important business contact.
Want to know this as well. Haven't seen this option since I was on sprint with a sanyo phone, about 6 years ago.
Sent from my HTC Glacier with ultimate droid ROM
Try RingoLite in the market. I had it for a lil while and it was great, it does both ringtones and sms tones.

why did you get rid of it? just curious..

The person who I assigned the tone to saw the app & she was like "damn, so that means I'll never be able to surprise you?? Get rid if it!" So I complied.....lol

that's hilarious. good story.
Why oh why can't I see unread counts in sub folders on my active sync account? This is utter madness!!! Phone ending madness (no I don't want to pay for a separate app, it should be a standard function in the stock email app)
Why Google/Android are you forcing me to get an iPhone for work!!!
Anyone have a non rooted stock ROM work around? This really is the most annoying bug I have found with any phone!!!

I`d rather buy a email app then an iPhone, much cheaper (and better)
Quote: Thanks, but this has not helped.
A: Getting another email app because it misses one option makes makes more sense than changing to another OS imho.

Thanks, but this has not helped.I have owned an Android handset since the S2 so there's no need to troll
Simply put, how can they have possibly missed this utterly basic feature
I'm searching for a way to assign a custom MP3 ringtone for each contact on my 6P, just like I did for my Galaxy S3 & my Note 3. A free or paid Play Store app (doesn't matter which because I have that $50 Play store credit) would be ideal!
It's really bumming me out that the latest & greatest Nexus 6P just doesn't have that capability, or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?? For example, on my Note 3 when my Sister calls, I would hear Weird Al's "White & Nerdy". When my mother calls, I would hear "Like a G6". And when my boss calls, I would hear Cheech Marin's voice knocking on the door saying "It's me, Dave...D A V E!" His name actually is Dave, so that just fits! You get the idea.
Any suggestions for an app that would watch for incoming calls, then play the ringtone I would assign to that person? I've already transferred all of the MP3's, notifications & ringtones from my Note 3 to the appropriate folders in the 6P AND they are selectable for a default sound, but no custom contact ringtones or custom notifications sounds for each event.
Not rooted (yet, but most likely will in time) so still all stock with build MDA89D
You help will be greatly appreciated. And if I'm missing the obvious here, please feel free to laugh at my pain!
I use Light Flow for that. Other folks here have posted that it works for them without root for LED customizations, but I haven't received my 6P yet to test it myself... If it works, it should do both custom LED and sound notifications.
If you go to contacts and edit the contact you want once you hit edit touch the 3 dots it should show set ringtone in the options thats just for incoming calls only not for messages

That solves the custom ringtone problem. How did I miss that one?? I tried to edit the contacts as you said, but I completely missed the three dots menu. [face palm!]
But Light Flow sounds as the way to go. I'm used to having a blue LED for missed calls, green for text messages & red for voicemail. If the 6P has those options already built-in, then a lil customization of those couldn't hurt!
On that note, it is *ridiculous* that Android doesn't have the possibility of individual text tones.

Use Rings Extended in Play Store...can assign any ringtone or notification, ANYWHERE
If you use Hangouts for SMS, you can set a custom tone for each conversation. I still prefer Light Flow, though, because it lets me change LED colors, blink rates, and durations per notification type/person. It also allows similar options for custom vibrations.
I may get the anti VZW hate on this one....but I use Verizon messages. Can use individual text tones on that. I like the app as when I switch roms, it syncs all texts and pic messages for me. No need to back them up and they are also on my tablet. However, I agree that it's BS that google does not make this a feature in the stock messaging app. I used to use Hangouts before switching to VZW messages.

Just tried this with no joy. Only the stock ringtones seem to work. Will we have to root to assign custom sounds?
If you go into the default messenger app
click on the thread with your contact
Hit the 3 dots in upper right
Select People and Options

Got my 6P on Friday, and for the life of me couldn't find how to set this, even though I had it set on my Nexus 5. Thank you!

Then you don't know Android... Try again.
The solutions for messenger & hangouts are temporary. If you delete the conversation, they'll reset next time you get a message from that contact. If you want permanent solutions, you need something like textra or handcent.

I don't think it should be necessary with a third-party app to do that. On the iPhone the feature is build into the OS.

That's the stupidest argument ever! If you're gonna compare every feature to what the iPhone can do, why not get an iPhone?

Well, I'm just comparing ideas and that happens to be one that I like. I don't get why you react so aggressive to me saying that I would like it to be a core feature of Android. After all, you could do this on a Nokia 3310. I don't get why it is a bad thing to request these much more sophisticated devices to do the same. I won't ever get an iPhone an have been using Android for years - but the ring tone thing - I *personally* think that iPhone handles that better.

No one's being aggressive. I just think it's stupid to compare features that way. Well the iPhone has it, why can't I? Do you want a big round button on your phone too? Do you want an apple logo? The iPhone has them. And I'm going to assume you're semi intelligent, being that you are on these forums... Making a request, as you put it, will get you nowhere here. Messenger & hangouts are Google Apps. No one here is going to add those features for you. So your request here is gonna get you a 3rd party app. But since you already said you didn't want that, guess you're out of luck. Enough on the that. Good day & good luck in your search for a 1st party app that has those features

I know all those things. That's why I've been a Handcent user for years.
Here is the solution.
Download a file explorer app such as ES file explorer.
That's it.
Now where you chose to select ringtone, you will be ask to chose from..
1. ES file Explorer
2. Media Storage
Choose ES file explorer and find the song you wanna put as ring tone or alarm tone.
That's it.. Work done for free.
This even works for individual contact tone.
Open the contact in the edit mode..
Click on those three dots for further options.
Set ringtone and then chose the ES file Explorer option.. ?
Why do my custom ring tones and notifications reset themselves sometimes? I'm using stock, locked, unrooted N6P.
