Is it available for this phone?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

goto phone, select voicemail on the bottom, then go to settings, enable

Its weird I found it but I accidentally turned it off. Now when I go to phone then voicemail and hit the settings button nothing pops up! How do I get it back?

[Q] SMS shows received time not sent time

Hi,
I have a question.. is it possible to change the settings so that text messages that we get show the time as the sent time instead of received time.
I did a search for this on the forums (and google) and i believe someone worked on it for the galaxy s I9000. Is there anything we can do for the Nexus S. I also saw that there is an app called SMS Timestamper fix which adds the correct times to the texts, but i just wanted to know if its possible to fix it in the phone settings itself?
Thanks,

the SMS time fix is only to show received time, not sent time
the sent time should be recorded properly as it uses the time you sent out on your phone

Im not sure if you are thinking the same as me. I dont have any issue with the time being an hour behind the correct time (which is what i understand the time fix is for, but correct me if i am wrong).
The situation I have at the moment is, say i am in an area without reception and people send me smss. I do not receive them, but as soon as i go into an area with reception, all the sms's arrive on my phone. However, the time associated with the sms's is that of when they arrive on my phone (ie when i have just moved back into an area with reception), and not the time they were sent (which would be much more useful).
Hope that makes sense, and sorry if you did understand my problem already.
I have searched in the default messaging app, but i cant find the settings Use original timestamps. Maybe I am missing something.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just checked and use original timestamp is there indeed. Check it again man.

very odd indeed... i checked again, i went to messaging app (the default one with the green bubble icon with smiley face), settings, and definitely not there for me. I see settings for delivery reports, but not a "use original timestamp".
I am running the deodexed stock rom with voodoo kernel, posted by master, perhaps this is causing the issue? (i actually believe i have never seen this setting on my phone even when i was running 100% stock with normal kernel).
Is there anyway i can reinstall the default messaging app?

Tasker APP Question

Hi Guys just wanted to ask some settings regarding Background Data and Market.
What I wanted to happen is I want to Setup Background Data to permanently OFF, then when I use Market it will automatically Set to ON is this possible with Tasker? how should I set this up with Tasker.

Yes this is a basic one. Do you mean all data off, or merely auto-sync off?
Start a new profile, with the context being an app, and choose market from the list.
Then when asked, choose new task, and select 'net' then choose mobile data =on, or wifi =on, or autosync = on, or all 3 depending on what you are after. Then create the profile.
With the new profile now in your list, touch the right-hand side, and select "add exit task" then basically do the opposite of whatever you turned on in the first step.
Now when market is opened, your data will turn on, and when you exit the market, it'll turn off.
If you get stuck I can create that profile and export it and post here for you to download and import.

Ah. Apologies it appears that Tasker is very very broken right now.
I've been beta testing ROMs like mad recently, and have not put Tasker back on for a while. I have just tried putting it back on, and none of the App related contexts are working. I have e-mailed Tasker support to see why. I'll let you know what the response is. In the mean time, I have tested a work-around which does work. We can use a Tasker widget. Those still work!
1. Open Tasker, and select the lightning icon to create a new Task (we are not creating a profile here). Name it "Market".
2. Create the following task:
Net> Mobile Data = On
Net> Wifi = On
Tasker> Wait = 2 seconds
App> Load App> Market
3. Before hitting the tick button to save it, select an icon for the widget. Do this by pressing the button that looks like a small multi-coloured chess board. Select 'App Icon' and scroll down to the Market and select it.
4. Now save the Task.
5. Back out of Tasker and back to your home page.
6. Long-press in an appropriate space to add a widget like you normally would. Scroll down the widget list and select 'Task'. It'll have the Tasker icon by it.
7. Select the 'Market' task you just created. It'll give you a quick preview of the settings of the Task. Hit the Tick button.
8. Now your widget is set, and it'll look very similar to the Market shortcut icon. Press this, and Tasker will turn your data on, wait 2 seconds (for a connection to be made) then open the Market.
9. If 2 seconds is not long enough, edit the Task to bump the wait up to 3 or 4 seconds. 2 seconds worked for me.
The only downside to this over a Profile, is that you'll have to manually turn the data back off afterwards. You could either use the HTC widgets, or create another widget using the above steps and just set it to turn off 3G and wifi in one go when pressed. Call it "Data Off" or something.
Hope this helps for now. I'm keen to see why Tasker seems to have gone wrong as I'm one of it's biggest advocates. I'll be sure to post back here when I've gotten to the bottom of it.

Done it. but I couldn't try it right now no Wifi Im outside the house lol will try this when i get home.
Hope tasker will get fixed soon I tried your first Instruction and I think I followed it correctly.
Thanks a lot
One more thing when I add the Widget an Error appears "Warning: couldn't save data, making backup on SD" is this Ok?

Yeah that's fine.
And I've had progress with Tasker not working on my phone. I changed the kernel I was using and it started working again! MDJ's Unity V4 Kernel works perfectly with Tasker.
What are you running? Are you s-off/rooted? I rooted my phone almost straight out of the box, so have never run Tasker on a stock kernel.
Thank you for your post as it has helped highlight something that I had missed in testing! Ironically I thought putting Tasker on a beta ROM would interfere with the bug finding process. We live and learn!

wow cool
Oh mine's S-OFF and Rooted too, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity 2.37 I'm not sure if this is the Kernel I just looked over the "About Phone" it's 2.6.35.13-UNITY-V4-g4796564
oh it says [email protected] #2.. so I think we have the same Kernel? I'm not well aware of this stuffs or maybe I just need a working Wifi Connection still outside Ill be home in 5hrs..

Ah. It was putting unity v4 back on that fixed it. Perhaps try reflashing it.

Tasker dev emailed me back. They have confirmed reports of app recognition failures on certain custom ROMs. Yours must be one of them. Have you asked the dev of your rom about it? Perhaps he could help.

yeah maybe that's the right Idea

I believe you've all misunderstood the OP. (or maybe I misunderstood him)
Tasker doesn't support turning OFF the Background Data setting under the Account & Sync option.
I am looking for an app that could turn this OFF and ON as well.. Don't know if AutomateIt supports it.

Yes unfortunately tasker can't yet turn this off, but with auto-sync turned off (which it can do) then battery drain and data usage are minimal. I don't think turning off both makes for a greater advantage.

[Q] number above message envelope won't go away

Hello everybody, I usually hangout over at the HP Touchpad forums,but just got this new SG3 that's begging to get rooted.Anyways,the little number that shows up above the messaging icon on the gs3 homescreen won't go away for me.I delete all the threads and however many number of threads that I had going disappear from the messaging app, but on the home screen the number still stays there. I can reboot and it goes away.
Any help would be appreciated.I printed out the 200 page manual but haven't gone through the whole thing yet.Most of it though.Is it something that I am missing to clear the number, or is it something with the phone ? Thanks.

I would clear data for the messaging app and see if that resolves the issue.

Update : I figured it out.Under settings/ developer options / apps/ do not keep activities: destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it. I had a check mark in the box. I guess it was killing the app right after I deleted the text then I when back to the home screen it would still show a number above the messages icon. Maybe it didn't clear the messages number? WhenI leave the box unchecked and go back to the home screen after I delete the messages the number would disappear above messaging icon. Weird.
Thanks for the suggestions.

--- Enter your Google username without the "@gmail.com" domain name with your password.
--- Enter your Google username without the "@gmail.com" domain name with a null password.
--- Use another phone to call your Android. Answer the phone and push the "home" button followed by the "menu" button without hanging up. Sometimes, this combination will open the phone's settings so that you can disable the pattern lock.
--- Use another phone to call your Android. This time, hang up and immediately press buttons randomly as fast as you can for 30 to 60 seconds. Hit the "home" button last. This is another way to get into the phone's settings to disable pattern lock. Timing is key with this workaround; it might take several tries to get it right.
--- Gmail.com offers a password recovery routine. Most users report that it doesn't work for them, but it's worth a try. Start at the beginning and follow each step carefully.
--- As a last resort, set your phone back to its out-of-the-box condition using the factory-reset function.

And yes, resetting to factory defaults will erase his personal data. That's the security idea, because phones security are not meant to be bypassed for someone to be able to access the user data.
Previously there has been a few ways to workaround the imposed limitations by shoddy ways, but I don't believe they are possible anymore.
If the person is rooted, there is a way.
