Is google voice down? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Is anyone else having trouble with google vvm right now? Usually it's flawless and was actually working this morning but now it's telling callers "the number or code you have dialed is incorrect.. blah blahblah" on both mine and my girlfriend's phones atm...
Anyone else having trouble with it?
This will also serve as my useless thread for the week

possibly. Gmail on my pc is painfully slow today. maybe some google internal issues

I got a message through google voice, however, I didn't get a notification in the taskbar......

I got 2 VMails this morning, both came thru fine with notifications.
Now I can't even leave a message on either of our phones.
I'm gonna give this 45 more minutes then I'm calling a lawyer

Hope this is just a glitch......I can't have this not telling me when I have a message. Luckily, I heard the phone ring and let it go to vm(working). I waited a couple mins and checked and the message was there. Until now, it has been great, I love the transcription, that is the bomb!!! Perfect feature while working....can let it go to vm and then read the message.......

This happened once before and I spent over an hour trying to fix it and gave up and it just started working later that night.
that's pretty disappointing that it's not more predictably dependable.

And for the record, of course I'm not all bent because gvoice is down, I just like it a lot and if this becomes a weekly thing then I'll have to find an alternative which would suck because I very much dig gvoice vvm.

Lol gvoice probably works better.
Anyway, i use youmail only because sprint vm app wasnt working on some roms n i cant figure out how to unforward.
If u would pay for gv then youre ok, those who wouldnt shouldnt complain, carry on.

I wonder if this has something to do with me removing Sprint_Core.apk?

1) GV is working just fine for me. Placed a call out using it and left a message on both my number and my wife's. Got the message and the notification. It even transcribed it correctly!
2) I pay good money for high speed internet, cellular phone service and satellite television. All three have failed me on more than one occasion.
3) I pay absolutely nothing for Google Voice and it has yet to fail me.

Haha I wish I was having your luck with gvoice, it's been 24 hours and still not working at all.
So it's not Sprint_Core, I put it back on and my sprint vvm works fine but after removing everything, dialing *38 and starting from scratch to set gvoice back up from scratch, same deal. Gvoice just doesn't want to be my VVM provider
Oh well.

REQUEST: Sprint NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile - Please.

I have a rooted phone. Im going to the Daytona 500 this weekend and thought it would be cool to listen to the drivers and such. When I try to download the app from texting NASCAR to 7777 it says I dont have a compatible phone. I suspect due to the root.
Anyone have this app I can download and throw on.

Does that app even work? I tried installing it and it just said "loading" for about 5 minutes.
But I guess its not a question of if it works or not its a question of getting the .apk

The app worked great today. It allows me to listen to drivers and team chatter from the different cars.
Its a great app for Nascar fans, albeit, Im not a huge fan. But being at the Daytona 500 and being able to listen to the teams is fun. Its was a great race.
Thanks!

No, it doesn't work or at least it is extremely buggy.
The app is sort of a portal for NASCAR news and also provides telemetry, scoring and audio feeds on race day. Its actually a great app if you're in to NASCAR (which I am) but its basically un-usable on android. It was slow on my blackberry but at least everything worked.
When I used it on my hero, the backlight would time out and the app would not update data. Also, it was just plain buggy with some screens not even loading.
I wish they would fix these issues.
Wow! I just upgraded to dc 2.1 and downloaded the Sprint cup mobile app and its running like a top. So fast and everything seems to work so far. Most functionality doesn't kick in until the race starts so i'll report back later but so far I'm just blown away. This is the way stuff is supposed to work!
I just wanted to follow up: the audio did not work during the race yesterday. No audio, no options, no nothing. Everything else I tested worked fine except there is no keep-alive option and the leaderboard is a little flakey when the phone wakes up. The audio may have been a Sprint problem. They are just as flakey as their software. Have to try again next week at Martinsville.
any way too?

Probably not. I'm guessing that data must pass through a Sprint proxy to prevent that. That's just speculation, though.
Yeah
Yeah it installs fine...but wont even run before sayin im not sprint or nextel. This is friggin stupid id pay sprint to use it. VZ had this app for years until Winston gave up the NASCAR sponsorship
Any clue what may be wrong with that apk thedudejdog? I have installed many apks and never had an issue. I install this NASCAR and it installs...but when I open it, the app just stays on the main screen and says its loading for 3 minutes or so...then it reboots my phone.
Any help?
Well if your not on Sprint it wont work. That's the issue some of us want fixed.

Wave secure free lifetime account

You have until tomorrow to download wave secure for android and get a free lifetime account for whatever phone (sim) you put it on! Go and get now!
I'd love to but I still cannot activate because I dont have text messaging on my phone, it does not work with google voice messages
Posted on their forum, its a known issue.

Thanks, planned on signing up at some point but just did it now while it's free
Thanks for the heads up. Just signed up, it was easy as pie. Already have my SMS backed up and tried the remote location feature - it was accurate within a block, which was impressive. Can't beat the price, too!
Had it for a while.. cannot stress how awesome it is, get it while you can!

everyone I know with android devices went and signed up after I gave them a quick demo.
If you uninstall this, then you're screwed? Can you ever get it back?
as far as I know signing up on the site sets up an account that is good for whatever sim you registered.
Also there is a an app on the market now that locks down your phone if wave secure is uninstalled! even more protection for your device.
You may not get the phone back but at least whoever steals it cant use it either.

If you mean as far as the free account goes, as long as you have created your account on phone and website, should be able to reinstall at any time.
Well they can hard reset, but a random thief/finder may not know that.
I have the uninstall protection.
AWESOME.

wouldn't that be the same as a remote with wave secure? I guess if they wiped the phone as soon as they stole it before you had a chance to lock it down. Once its locked they can't reset, or is there some other way to reset that I am not aware of?
Reset via the bootloader, indefensible.
How does this program compare to Mobile Defense? I have that installed on my N1 right now, but if people here like Wave Secure more, I might make the switch over. Thanks!
Get it while it's free and decide for yourself... you don't have to use it if you prefer Mobile Defence

Pull the battery?
Thanks for letting us know. It would be shame to miss a life time subscription on this.
That being said... i'm a bit disappointed with it. Location service is really bad... all it does it show your phone at the closest tower. It showed my phone almost a half a mile away. No way I would ever find it. Also, any command issued seems to take forever, or, as I just saw, not work at all "Your phone failed to lock". The first time it locked but took an abnormal amount of time (their words). I'm guessing its the fact that its a Singapore SMS coming into AT&Ts network.
None the less, it can only get better. Thanks again.

Sounds like it couldn't get location from your GPS and failed back to cell tower location. When I do it sitting in my house it shows a a circle no bigger then my property centered on my house on google maps!

Modified IM app

I have been testing different IM apps, but all of them have some issue that makes them less than Ideal.
In actuality, the old stock IM app from the G1 always worked best for me. It was reliable, didn't disconnect constantly, and didn't seem to kill the battery as fast.
Is there anything like that, or a mod'ed version that will work on the Nexus?
I've searched for and apk, and asked over in the general section, with no luck.
Enomther's rom comes with it.

It works well, but I can not change the notifications; and the sound is based on the media volume for some reason. Plus it can not use the proper names for yahoo contacts.
Well I pulled the IM apk from the ROM and it installed fine, but it will not sign on. It force closes when you try to sign on, though still remains running on the screen, and you can interact with the program.
Guess it would need Mod'ed to work on non-root, or maybe pushed to the system partition. Can't push with locked bootloader, so would need it to be Mod'ed.
Any devs out there know if this app needs to be in the system partition?

Another reason I want the stock IM app. It uses sms to work, so after the initial login, there is no or next to no data use; being that sms is a push type service, it does not need to poll for new IMs.
I posted this in the dev section for a reason, but they moved it... ah well. Maybe a dev will pop in here and give it a shot.
i did an im.apk search here and found the original and have been running it for a while now.messenger doesnt always want to sign in but yahoo works fine

since it is based on SMS, you must be charged for SMS by your telco right?

Yes, but I have an unlimited plan, so I can send as many as I want.
And SMS are the biggest money makers for these companies. A recent study showed that the cost to actually send an SMS is zero. The only costs the companies have is the cost of setting up the software needed to operate the SMS functions in their systems and the cost of some servers and storage needed to hold the data as it is being sent to users (like if you send a SMS to someone without signal, they must store the info until it can be sent, and its only a few kb) I think the costs of the setup was recouped within a few months and now its pretty much all profit. Sly dogs they are (some places charge $0.25 per SMS out of plan)
Sorry had to rant...
Ouch. Thought I'd be able to use this wonderful sounding app that you've been talking about but I don't have an unlimited sms plan lol.
SMS tends to be my main form of communication on the phone, so I got the unlimited plan. The tmobile everything plus plans are not that bad price wise; more so when you don't get unlimited airtime as well. I don't need a lot of airtime because the people I talk to most just use SMS.
I'm thinking the new radio in 2.2 is not letting the IM app work properly.

It's about freaking time. The BRUT hack is awesome but it's nice to have the official stuff work.

Not sure about everyone in the world but my X10 here in Canada came with the google Navigator app pre installed.
well, the app is installed, its just won't work lol.
it's too late now but before when you try to navigate it will not find a route.
Brut is awesome tho, so I am just glad that it works now.
However, I am messing with Brut's caching function so I might still use brut's map for general map search.

I don't know what you guys are talking about but it works here in Victoria, BC Canada. I just did a test from my house to Wendys =). It gave me turn by turn and was impressed with the accuracy of the route. It was quite smooth when turning too. I purposely made a different turn and not follow and it would automatically re-route. Nice

Does it show you the street view all the time? Mines only shows the pic when you need to turn. that's it.... Don't know why.
Hmm. Mine still says navigation is not available in my area (south western Ontario). Anyone else getting this?

For those trying to find the "new" version on the market. IT DOES NOT EXIST.
Canadian navigation has just been unlocked on Google's end. The 4.2.0 version that you have, that has been out for awhile, will work for navigation now.

Sorry to drag this old post back up but I just got my X10 last night (coming from HTC Magic) Simple question (most likely dumb) does this use your data at all or is the same as using a standard GSP? I seem to hit my data limit every month just don't want to push it over.
Thanks
Clinton
Yep, is using data.
Thanks, guess it wasn't a stupid question after all. That's interesting, guess I'll be using the GPS instead. Not much of a feature then is it.

[Q] Sprint VVM or Gvoice for CM7 that works??

That's probally the main reason why I use YouMail... And for me at least I rarely ever have any problems getting notifications... But another reason why I use it is that Google voice tells me that my device can't be configured. YouMail does it with one button push... So idk, lol... Plus i like the nifty caller ID thing and stuff
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
i have to agree it is nifty. BUT one issue i have and idk if its youmail or if its CM7 or if its the Cyclonic rom im using. but it becoming annoying is when i receive a call no matter what if they are in my contacts or not. it says would like to accept this call press 1 now.
Hmm... That's interesting... I'm gonna play around and see if i can duplicate that.. Ill edit in a bit
One quick question. Do you get the rotary answer call thing or does it just say press one to answer?
I'm still a noob at a lot of this, I'm just trying to help, if someone more knowledgeable knows, lol, they're probally better off helping... Ill still look around though, I'm trying to learn everything
Edit: well it isn't CM7 I can't even find a setting to make that happen.. And YouMail can't take calls... I'm gonna check out Cyclonic but idk, if it really is that annoying you could also do a fresh install of the rom, wipe everything, would only take maybe 10 minutes
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
It has to do with the provisioning or some such wording. Try to dial one these numbers, I can't remember which is the newest that will fix your issues: *282678861049 or *282679540127 listen for the stutter and then try a test call. Sorry I can't remember I'm old! LOL

yeah that second number is for sprint it tells sprint to forward your voicemail to youmail that why you get the dial 1 msg. Man been a while since i had these probs,but if you go to the youmailsupport and search there are issue fixes . Sorry to be longwinded and disregard if you don't wanna use it.
Ahh, i think i understand, i misunderstood... OK, dial 1 for voicemail... From the YouMail app hit menu-help-forward to YouMail... Maybe that will work?

Are you sure you're not already using Google Voice? Because the call announcement is a feature of Voice. Try going to google.com/voice under Settings -> Calls and see if you've got Call Screening enabled.
