New to android, and was wondering if there is an app that will do voicemail like iphone? I think evo has it.

Yeah, if I had to choose one thing I miss about my iPhone, it would be visual voicemail. Would definitely like to see a mod for it.
Google Voice
Google Voice is the best/free app that comes to my mind (works great for me), however I'm sure if you Google or just look for apps on the marketplace they shouldn't be hard to find...
the best visual voicemail app ive found is called youmail
I use Google voice for visual voicemail.

Duh, I completely forgot about my Google Voice account. I need to set that up haha.
Visual voicemail by Fusion
There is an app called visual voicemail. It is made by Fusion. Works great for me. I used it with Windows mobile. Had an account back then. I even get faxes to my cell number. All free when I signed up with Windows Mobile.
I don't think this belongs in the development section
this definitely belongs in general. keep the development section open for roms and fixes etc.
Anyone else think we need a q&a sections like some of the other phones?
Unfortunately for those of us that use Google Apps they left us in the dust on Google Voice.

Yes, Google Voice is pretty good. Its about as close to iphone visual voicemail as you're gonna get on the Captivate.
Plus I kind of like the transcribed voicemail emails.
How do I use that instead of att
voicemail?
Sorry for a noob q??

Log into your google account on your computer. Find google voice on google's site. There is an option to use google voice for just voice mail. There will also be instructions for setting up your phone to forward voice mails to your google voice account. When you are all done wth that, download google voice from the market and go through its options.
I did all that and google voice works seamlessly for my voice mail.
Just open another google accountunder the same email. Problem solved

Damn. I didn't know you could do that. I started another account under a different name because the market wouldn't work with my apps name.

Problem NOT solved because it's still a different account with a new contact list.
Your google voice account does not have to be the same as your primary account. I have a google apps account that I use as my primary account for contacts, email and calendars. I have a second account that I use for the market and google voice. It works fine.

But none of your Voice stuff syncs with the main account.

Can anyone out there make a google voice app so you can call through your google voice number or the actual phone number. I had a android phone and that was the best app available? Any GV users out there?
there is one already called iDialer, gooogle is your friend
thanks
yes google is my friend
invite
do i need an invite or can someone post a link
hmmm
the idialer doesn't quite work how i thought. need something closer to the google android app. anyone out there have any answers?
There is also another program that works along with iDialer called iContacts. Though I don't really remember what the android version is like. I guess it's time to boot XAndriod again on the Fuze to see what it looks like.

This is not a google made program either. The program is made by a person on this board I believe. No you do not need an invite to get it try searching got it and you'll find it. If you have a google account just follow the instructions and set it up.
GV Dialer
Any luck on a google voice app
Browser version is available...
I've used Google Voice through the web browser. It's not "pretty" but it works.
So far every app i've tried all require me to input my login credentials which i don't feel safe doing.
Does anyone know of any applications that uses Google authentication to tricker a GV call back? im trying to use this with Sipdroid for true VOIP calling over data.
Thanks guys.
Does any one use google voice with sip gate here?

AFAIK you cannot trigger a callback with and unauthorized client since the clients spoof the GV webapp's callback feature (not entirely certain on that one.). So you will have to trust one of the current apps, use the gv mobile website or wait for/request a client to use OAuth or some other protocol that does a similar method of authentication.
Thanks guys.

I am have that exact setup: GVoice->Sipgate->Sipdroid.
Works great on wifi but kinda sucky over 3g. But hey it is free...!
Yeah ill just have to create a throwaway account for this since i dont feel safe passing my credentials to a third party app.
First off, I thought Google apps would be easier to find on the Android market... my god was it not. Second, I notice this phone has a visual voicemail feature... but then you can go and setup google voice. I was able to enable Visual Voicemail, set google voice as my primary voicemail... but now when I click my voicemail tab under Phone its just a white screen...
Do i actually have to use the Google Voice app? I thought Android would have more voice integration than this...
any assistance on making Google Voice my primary voicemail?

Visual VM app will only work with Tmobile VM, so in order for you to use Google Voice VM you need to use google voice app and if you like you can use one of the google voice widgets but you can not use Visual vm in sense with google voice
hope this helps
What are you ranting about!
Go to the market, search for "google", pick any app that is from "google inc", slide down & click on "view more applications". How hard is that!
As for VVM, first and foremost, it's a carrier-side service. Go rant there.

You don't need VVM with GV. The voice app gives you transcribed VM and highlights the words as you play it. I put a shortcut to GV on my homescreen and viola.
Just change your vm number to your googlevoice number and u will be good to go

I used to use syncsms and while it was good it sometimes would just not work, and it utilized dropbox which I wasn't a fan of. This is awesome and uses google chat or email. All I did was create a new gmail just for this purpose and keep google talk logged into it on my tablet. Just wanted to share the wealth and all props goes to Koush who also developed RomManager, man that guy is awesome.
i love this app with the Chrome extension, but found that it was cluttering up my gchat contact list with people's phone numbers as contacts. To fix I set the app to only send emails and filter them in Gmail. I like the idea of setting up a separate email address to handle that issue.
I take it you have to side load on the TF? Market shows incompatible for TF but good for my N1
You install the app on your phone, then i use google talk to receive the messages on the transformer. The app just forwards the messages

Ah OK, got it thanks.
I use textab for this feature. Works very well.
I dont like using Bluetooth, and this way they don't need to be near eachother to work in case I forget my phone
TextTab does work well when I was using the beta, only thing I wish it did was enable upon boot. I always forget to enable it after phone or tablet boot up.
I use SynSMS except like mentioned it's not always reliable.
I like this DeskSMS so far. I can get rid of Mighty Text and SyncSMS and replace with one app.
Also with this as with SyncSMS, I can leave my phone home and on while out of the country and still get my SMS.
I use the google voice app on my transformer. It is the same as on my ATRIX. I can text and read and listen to voicemails.

Nothing is install on the tablet, it forward your sms to Google Talk.
It work for me at first but now it does not forward amy sms to my google talk.
It does sync with my Chrome extension
mine still works, I also have the google talk desktop program and get it through there too
So if i use google voice there's no reason to use this right?
nope..not really
edit: as long as you sideload google voice onto the tablet

Yeah I have a seperate email address, but the thing is i have to log out of my main account to use desksms which seems annoying as everything google is the phone's email and i have nothing but email setup. how did you setup your filters?

Just started playing with Google Now. You can say things like, "note to self, clean out refrigerator." only problem is, I don't know where these notes go! I've looked far and wide, searched google everywhere looking for this answer. Anybody know? It's probably something really easy to make me look stupid. LoL
Just tried this out...apparently it sends you an email saying what the note is

Thanks, figured out what was wrong.
I use MailDroid for my email and I had the Gmail software disabled in play store. I just enabled it and it sent me an email this time.
