ok... i can honestly say, that my phone is significantly more feature robust than the iphone. ever since i installed Jongma's wifi router, i have the coolest phone that hawaii has ever seen.
...but...
visual voicemail is very very very cool. i want it on my machine, are there any kaiser options?
thanks a lot!
Don't know if there is something free out there, but SimulScribe and Simulsays is the closest thing I've seen.

I was looking into visual voice for myself as well and I came across this post. Hope it helps.

They have technical problems such as very, very low volume on playback, and very buggy mobile/web interface. Their tech support could almost care less.
Not very good up-selling to their paid-version I think.
yeah, att sucks $200 out of me each month... .an additional 10 for that service is kinda not so appetizing... id rather pay 50ish up front and have it all on my handheld.
also, i dont really need the transcriber. i guess its cool... but... only kinda
re: marijuana... it has vitamin c in it... its good for ya right ?
the visual voicemail is cool, but i dont think its worth the extra money, i rarely used it on my iphone. I rarely use voicemail as it is. I hate it when people leave me voicemails.
i hate it just as much if not more... thats why i want to be able to pick and choose which ones i listen too. its a very useful feature if its your "thing"
in the biz world, speedy response is imperative to success. viz voicemail is a great tool.
i saw the link above, i havent tried it yet but i acctually have a evoice account. so ill give it a whirl when i get some time.
does any one know if someone has tried to make a program for this ? ill bet companies like evoice would offer a residual / discounted program for someone who brought this to the market
the major advantage to me for this would be, when i get off the plane and see i have 4 voicemail messages i can see who they are from. if trhe message does not come thru clearly, i will never know who it was, it also helps prioritize who to get back to first. i wish there was something like this, callwave and simulscrybe really are not the same at all. there must be some file out there similar to the iphone that allows you to do this.

I'm with you - my voicemail is usually full because I hate checking it so much. I asked about V V back in October when I first got the phone! AT&T obviously has the capability, I just wish I could take advantage of it...
I had to set my voicemail on the primitive phone system at my new job, and I realized that things hadn't changed in years, and my cell service is no different. V V is pretty much necessary to move things forward...

In the interm try using www.youmail.com
One you go youmail you will never go back
callwave works great for me
I use callwave (www.callwave.com), another free or paid service, depending on your needs and desires. It will send text, e-mail, or you can just call in to retrieve your messages (the free text and e-mail service includes a not-very-accurate speech-to-text; the paid version options are much higher quality speech-to-text for those that require it). I have mine set to send both a text message (so I know if I am interested), and an e-mail with the voice mail attached as a .wav file. This way I almost never actually dial in to get any messages, as I can fully delete them or keep them via my computer.

I can never find the free link for callwave. Do you have a link for me. I go to the website but they keep wanting me to pay.
OK, OK. Just to clear things up. Simulsays is FREE!!!!!!!! Simulscribe does cost if you want your messages transcribed and sent in text format. But, all you have to do is set up your account which will ask you to choose a plan. But, all you have to do is go into your account and change the option to have your messages transcribed to not having them done. If you want to make sure just call customer service and verify. The program has not been buggy for me at all. Hope that helps.
Yikes - they have changed their business model

AllTheWay - sorry for the misleading entry - I had not gone back to the entry page in so long that I was not aware that they no longer offer the free service, only a trial period. I have used it for over a year, and hope they continue to grandfather us existing users.

Just wanted to say that I've had a great experience with Callwave for months now. I believe I just signed up and selected the free service. I never call in to check my voicemail either now, but I think you can go on line and listen to the old ones in addition to having them emailed to you as a .wav attachment. The .wav files play through the phone speakers (like music) rather than the speaker you put to your ear on a call, but you can always call and listen to your VM like any other VM if you desire.
Also, they automatically gave a week-long free trial of their pay service where they transcribe your VM a couple of weeks ago. The free transcriber is pretty useless, but that one was excellent. Don't really need it so I won't pay for it, but I've missed it since the trial ended.
Hearing voicemails live
Hey is there something out there that will let you listen to your voicemail live as its being lefted. You know like on sprint pcs phones?
Another option is to use grandcentral..
I'm like most of you.. I hate voicemail. I strongly dislike listening to my messages not knowing who they are from.
So, someone here awhile back suggested Grandcentral, I got an invite and am still willing to share a couple with people if people are willing to share them with people and so on..
GC gives you a virtual #, this then forwards to your cell or other phones. In my case my office, 3 cell phones and home it does this all at once. If I dont answer or just somedays I dont want phone calls I then switch it to VM only and just get the VM's.
Now how does this help us? Well very simple. If you want your calls to go into it you can just change the VM # on your phone to just dump it to there. (note call forwarding costs with some plans)
Then, set your phones browser to http://www.grandcentral.com/mobile
When you get a text message saying you have a message on your GC account then you open your browser up and check your messages. If the person is in your addy book already it will show up who called with what # and how long the message is. Then you can choose if its an important call or not.
I've been using it since the tilt came out and love the option. I also have GC send a copy of the VM to my email so I can listen to it on my laptop with out even logging in or picking my phone up.
If you need an invite. I'll start a thread for it and set up the process.
Think this one is like Callwave
Heres another one http://www.fvmplus.com/ , just started trying it today so don't really have an opinion on it yet. Seems like has some decent options though. I think it is like callwave but, not entirely sure since I missed out on the callwave sign up too. So far it works ok but, only have gotten a couple voicemails today.
After messing around with this one more noticed it has a couple of drawbacks. Doesn't sync with contact names so it only shows the phone number that left the voicemail and not the name. The only other thing I noticed was that it doesn't pop the voicemail icon up but, it does have a sound notification whenever a new one comes in.

If I understand correctly, If i have ADP1 installed I will not have Myfaves on my Phone. Does this only mean no Icon, or will it mean I can no longer use myfaves? I would like to have ADP1 for the future, but i currently have 1.3 Installed. Would I still be able to use myfaves without the myfaves icon?

First there was no need for this post. You can find this info searching. But if you have myfaves setup on tmo website then it will still bill you correctly regardless of whether the app is installed on your phone
Thank you for the info.
I have been following all the posts closely. Unfortunately I am pretty sure it only states that you will loose myfaves. The post does not specify if this means the ICON or the Functionability.

Without the app installed you lose the functionalilty. Billing is different than software and apps
I think what he means is will he lose the ability to call 5 people at the rates that MyFave has.
While I am speculating, I don't think this would do anything except take away the fancy schmancy app. You "should" be able to call those people for free still.

Without the MyFavs app you can still make your myfavs calls and they will be rated as free if they are in your contacts. You can actually have a myfavs plan with any phone but if you dont have the myfavs application installed on your handset, you wont be able to change your favs on the handset. The calls will still be billed correctly as long as you have a myfavs plan.
I think momentary understood me best.
Yeah, I wanted to know if I would still be billed correctly. I did however. Forget about adding/changing contacts. This puts me back at square one. I will check to see if they can be added @ their website.
Any idea if the myfaves can be added to the dev phone as an option? While cheezy it is. I also like the function. Unlike a lot of G1 and Anti-G1 owners I find the phone to be attractiive and functional. I like well built programs with nice gui and I think the myfaves is a good thing.
Is their any reason other than building my own versions that woul neccessitate ADP1 over version JF1.31 currently or in the near future?

You can manage your myfavs contact online at my.t-mobile.com
Doing your contact management this way allows you to phones that aren't "myfavs compatible" according to t-mobile.
Hi,
I'm trying to install Mobile Defense, but I'm not getting the activation email. i checked online on mobile defense's website, and I believe it's b/c now with the DC ROM, it thinks it's a verizon phone, and I don't receive the activation sms.
Anyone else get this working somehow?
I've seen the same thing, so I just switched back to Wave Secure. It has a lot more functionality anyway, but it does send its SMS when you do things and they are from Singapore or something. That can result in charges depending on your plan.
..As long as you sign up by the end of March you get a free lifetime subscription.

and you were able to activate wave secure on your DC 2.1 ROM?
How did you activate it? via SMS?
EDIT:
Never mind, I just signed up successfully on Wave Secure with my DC 2.1 ROM. Weird though that I can activate Wave Secure, but not mobile defense. It does also bother me that the sms comes from gateway is in singapore, so any command texts I send to it will be an international charge.
I just also found out that international texts are 20 cents each.
http://www.nextel.com/en/services/worldwide/intl_txt_msg_from_us.shtml
I'm having the same issue.
I'm going to e-mail tech support and see what they say. Judging by the forums they seem to be very friendly/helpful.
I've been using wave secure for a while now. Yes, they do charge .20 for texts... small price to pay if you ask me. It has helped me find my phone on more than one occasion.
$500 for a new phone, or a buck or two for some texts...
Besides, you can always complain to sprint and I'm sure they'd refund it. Just play dumb. Sprint is begging to hold on to every customer they have anyways. I however dont mind a few .20 charges from time to time.
I'll keep the thread updated if I get anywhere with Mobile Defense.
There is one big reason I'd love to use mobile secure though. If you are root, mobile defense will turn on GPS if it is off. With wave secure, if you leave GPS off it will only send the location of the tower you're connected to. Not much good really.
EDIT
Here is the post over at Mobile Defense's Forums...
http://support.mobiledefense.com/viewtopic.php?pid=3857#p3857
I use Lookout ...I think its better than wavesecure and mobile defense...
remember that wave secure sends you text messages from Singapore ..Sprint will charge you for those text messages..
I tried Lookout... very buggy. Did not like it at all. That and its bloated with crap I dont need. Antivirus on android???? Yeah... dont think I need that.

Well, there we go... I saw texts from Singapore on my bill and was like WTF??? glad I know where they're from now lol
So... there is a workaround but I'm not sure exactly how to do It (reading this from my phone in bed at 1am lol.)
http://support.mobiledefense.com/viewtopic.php?id=996
So here's how all I needed to do running Damage Control...
I pulled the build.prop
(either copy using Root Explorer, or via ADB)
Only thing I changed is:
Code:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric [b]310120[/b]
To do this, the steps are:
1 . adb pull /system/build.prop C:\"where ever your sdk is stored" --> example of mine --> adb pull /system/build.prop C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2. used wordpad (don't use MS notepad) to edit build.prop with the following:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric 310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha Sprint (should be this already)
3. save as build.prop in tools folder of sdk
4. adb remount
5. adb push build.prop /system/
6. reboot.

The only thing I had to do differently is uninstall the application, then re-install. Open Mobile Defense, re-login with your account, then you should get the activation text.

The web exception most likely indicates a problem communicating with a web server (not definitely - just most likely). This problem may just disappear after a while, but it may not. I'm afraid getting in touch with the devs is the only thing you can really do, since this problem is specific to the software.
Just make sure that you can browse the internet okay before trying it again, then be 100% sure that you're using the correct username and password (try logging into the twitter site first, to be sure). Other than that, there really isn't anything you can do.
Although, saying that, since you've only spent £1.69 (or there-abouts), I'd recommend getting Panoramic moTweets instead. It's much better
Found the solution
I from the Netherlands and there was a change in the Internet settings. I need to remove the portal.mmm and now it works good again!
Can i intall TT 1.6 again after a hard reset? I heard something about that Marketplace removes the .cab after install. But there was a solution for that. But prob it's too late now. Or not?

Despite the many knocks that marketplace gets, when it does something right, it really does do it right. You just go back to marketplace and you can reinstall any previously purchased apps from the front page. I have to do it quite regularly. Just 1 click and it installs all the crap I've bought from them lol.
Haha ok thank u very much!
I have the same problem
Where are the file that you have removed?
A new problem.
TouchTwit is not working anymore because of an update of Twitter wich was better for some security parts or someting.
Code:
The email from Twitter:
Over the coming weeks, we will be making two important updates that will impact how you interact with Twitter applications. We are sending this notice to all Twitter users to make sure you are aware of these changes.
What are applications?
There are over 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you first authorize the application to access your Twitter account, after which you can use it to read and post Tweets, discover new users and more. Applications come in many varieties, including desktop applications like TweetDeck, Seesmic, or EchoFon, websites such as TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications such as Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for Blackberry, or Foursquare.
Update 1: New authorization rules for applications
Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.
What's OAuth?
• OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.
• Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.
What does this mean for me?
• Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.
• If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.
• Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.
• All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.
• You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list.
But TouchTwit has not done an update. I have already e-mailed to them but i dont get any awnser. Anybody knows if there comes an update for TouchTwit? I payed for it...
same goes for me... I'm using v1.7...
Touch Twit have announced a while back to stop supporting wm 6.5 (they consider it a dead OS) and looking forward to WP 7 (bah!). While Twitter changed the way you login, TT didn.t (and probably will not) release an update to fix this. So the chances to see TT work again on wm 6.5 platform are pretty slim.(you can always bug the developers to fix it...who knows). I suggest you switch over to Panoramic moTweets (they still support the app currently 1.8.5) - payed app or PocketTwit (i.m not sure about this one if it still works) or just use HTC Peep (although it kind of slows down the whole system)
Cheers!
Edit: In my opinion, if you paid the app you should get support for it ( i mean it.s not that hard to change the login procedure on the current version)
Well, still no reply from touchtwit devs, after lots of mails.
I can accept a "we will not support blah blah" answer from them, but I absolutely won't accept no answer.
And to think that I recently bought this app... and it stopped working less than two weeks afterwards. Really feel stupid for something I paid which I could use for free. Pun intended. That's why I'm so damn furious.
I gotta rethink my "try & buy" policy really hard I suppose...
I also bought it a few months ago but still have no awnser to my emails. I don't think that there is comming an update or something.
Using the free version of MoTweets now.
So, we are going to ask the developers or not? There just 2 members in this topic who have the problem
I asked the developers to resolve this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793754
touchtwit market place cab removal
kinda new at this ,but i thought that if you have sktools there is an option were you can create a cab file from a program installed on your phone. so if someone were to purchase this tt1.8 you can recreate it using sktools. anyone can correct me if i am wrong
Hi,
OK, so I have a company blackberry with all the data I can eat but limited text messages (company dont wanna pay for those). My wife has a HTC Touch Cruise running WM6 that she simply will not part with and has 250MB data usage per month.
To solve my issue I think that we need to start communicating by an IM app. I love BlackBerry Messenger and would love to keep all the features like knowing that the message was delivered, read and that the receiver is typing a reply would be a bonus too if possible. My research tells me that BBM is not available for a WM6 device so I need something similar that will install on both devices.
I tried GoogleTalk, well sort of I got foxed with the app for the WM6 device, basically I had to pay and I wanted to try first before I buy or at least have a recommendation first.
We moved onto Messenger Live, well thats rubbish, at least 4 messages today did not make it with warning to the sender and the latest version from Microsoft crashes the device if its reset and only a hard reset will do after that.
What other options do I have? There seems a lot of apps out there but nothing seems to match BBM's features.
Cheers
Kev
