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.
Anyone know if this is possible?

Nope, Google Voice doesn't work anything like texting, it operates more like GMail.
I was looking for this online and couldn't find anything.
Basically I want to be able to make phone calls via Samsung Galaxy S 4G using an extension within Chrome.
i.e, I want to click on an extension (within Chrome), dial numbers on my computer keypad and have my phone call it.
And I want to be able to see my contact list AS WELL AS have the ability to dial numbers.
Is this possible???
Thanks!
Theres one for your body called your arm. It also has a hand that you can pick up your phone and dial/view contacts with.
For google chrome probably not.
Google Voice yes. Not sure if its exactly what ya want but it works.

Sounds like you'd benefit from using Google Voice

Log into the google voice page, pick the contact you want to call and select call, it'll ask you which phone you'd like to connect with and you can use your sgs4g or even gtalk if you want to do it directly from your computer (you need a mic).

i tried that but it doesn't work.. if i click on the contact list, the only thing i can do is check the box associate with the contact.. nothing more..i then tried to sign up for google voice and I had to port my number to it. I tried the lite version but i'd rather have my voicemail goto my carrier (Tmobile) than to google..
Just kidding man ill look at google voice after class and see what i can find.

I'm trying to find a way to dial without unlocking my phone. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Standard google voice dial and voice search support that.
Somehow google doesn't offer voice dial on google market anymore, and it's also missing from the Samsung ROM, but if you find the apk here on this forum, install both and it works beautifully.
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

Hmm, really? I'm not receiving any emails and I checked my sent mail too. I wonder if it has to be configured somewhere.

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.
You're talking about Google Voice Search, not Google Now.
