My friends have the option to make calls with Google Voice...but I do not...even Sipdroid does not have the option to set it up with Google Voice like a lot of my friends have...the option is just missing entirely from the Sipdroid app
I have checked Voice settings, its certainly sync'd with my phone number, and I receive voicemails via Voice, but no option anywhere to make calls....
Wow no help at all? Lol

When u installed did u select the option to ask whether to use google voice automatically? Also don't move app to sd cuz I sent wasn't able to use widget. So either move to phone internal mem or uninstall and reinstall. Hth

I'm not sure about Google Voice, but SIPDroid works great with my company's SIP gateway. To call via SIP, as I remember, you need to either set SIPDroid as your preferred calling method, or suffix the number with a "+"
You might also want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548405 which came up from a Google search for "sipdroid" as the second listing, right after http://sipdroid.org/
How can I save my contacts address with Google map link and use it directly through the contact information
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
When you 'star' a place, maps will give you an option to save it as a contact.
Yes that's right but it save it as a seperate contact and it just name the area not the exacted place with longitude
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Well Google Maps isn't accurate enough to give you a specific address based on GPS fix. Google's Contacts have a field for postal address, which can't be mapped accurately by GPS/Google Maps. So there's really no field in Contacts that can be mapped to a location specifically.
The best thing to do is just type the address in.

You can 'Join' it to the contact you want or add it to existing contact. It won't do longitude but will point to the place when you click on it from within a contact.
Clever idea.but there era two problems the first I lost that address if I lost the internet connection for long time and the second that link is usabile for one time only. Thx for help.I am asking if there is a way to make the longitude as a link to Google maps. Thx again

What do you mean one time only? I can use a few I've saved. And how would you use maps without an internet connection, anyway?
I searched and I don't think this has been covered here yet

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?
Textab FTW

This uses bluetooth right?
New to android coming from an iPhone4. I set my email accounts using the email app but URLs in any email I receive are not shown as hyperlink and they ate not clickable.
What setting should I change so links in email are shown as hyperlink and can be clicked without having to copy and paste.
Thanks

If I recall, Apple apparently sued HTC for using hyperlinks in emails. I'm pretty sure you can find some articles on it through a Google search.

I found out that the emails is defaulted to the smallest size so they all come in as text only with no html. Have to change it to a larger size in settings then they work. Don't know why that's the default. Lame.
Thanks for your feedback. I tried all different font sizes but i still get URLs as plain text.

check your mail account settings and confirm that the Format setting is set to "HTML" (without the quotes). links in my 3 exchange accounts are clickable.
Thanks for the tip. I checked my exchange account and the format option is disabled. Not sure if it is a server setting.
My gmail settings does not have the format setting at all.
I downloaded the k-9 email client and it does not have this issue the. Html links are shown as hyperlink in the email.
Btw I have Samsung galaxy tab2 and it does not have this issue.

Its not the font size, its the mail Kb size. Increase to 1mb and you should be fine.
@mactruck _ thanks for the tip. I set the size to maximum. Restarted the phone bit the problem still persist. It did help a little. Not sure if it will fix mails that are already downloaded. Let me retest with a new email.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I was able find the cause so if the link starts with http...... Then it will be displayed as a link but if the link starts with www.cnn.com then it will be displayed as plain text.
BTW: the size settings needs to be set to 1MB or maximum also. This is required.

Same issue
I have tried making the setting to maximum size, but that didn't change it either. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks!

Are you using gmail app or the HTC mail app.
The gmail app never recognized links on my EVO, I then added gmail to the HTC mail app and it worked
Sent from my Synergized Aggressive Lionfish Evo using the XDA app
Same here. With any maximum size setting, links are not parsed. Even links that begin with "http://" are not clickable.
This is using the HTC mail app and only applies to plain text emails (sent or received). Full HTML messages (such as newsletters) display links fine.
Any ideas?

If you're referring to a Gmail account setup in HTC's mail app, had to configure mine as an exchange account to get clickable links. Now when I receive notices from XDA I can access the forum threads via the link.

Thank you. That is interesting.
This is happening across all my accounts: Gmail, professional, personal. They are all IMAP. Unfortunately several will not work as Exchange. I did not know Gmail would and will try that.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
Just got an HTC one x and having the same problem. Seems like a stupid issue to have with such an advanced phone. I have to select the link text with those 2 green bubbles that are not easy to bring up, copy, open internet, select address, and try to bring up the edit menu and paste. I increased to max size and it seems to have fixed the problem for some emails but not others. There must be a permanent fix for this.

Thanks for confirming. That's what I do as well, and I agree it's ridiculous. I guess we should all probably try reporting this to HTC.
Going off topic a bit, I had a Moto Atrix previously and I have to say HTC's email app is way better than the one on that phone, which had major issues. Maybe this is due to ICS vs. Gingerbread. At least this app is reliable. I previously had to resort to using K-9, which is very full-featured but has a few issues of its own.
I would be willing to bet that this is why we cant click links...
Weird. I have no troubles at all clicking link. I click them everyday and they open the stock browser/chrome no problem...
I even have it on the smallest font too.
Weird, it works fine for me in stock mail app. It seems like some people are having problems with links in mail AND text messages but I'm not having those issues. Every link that I get I can click on and it opens whatever browser I have set as default. I am having problems adding invitations to my calendar when I accept them from the stock mail app though, and that's a big problem for me.
Well, but simply having a link take you to a browser certainly isn't patent infringement--or every email client out there would be in trouble! However, you could be right that the HTC app originally offered a variety of options, which would appear to violate the patent, and that they somehow removed the simple ability to click at all...
To those whose links are parsing correctly: this happens even in plain text messages? For me, newsletters and other fancy HTML content works just fine but all plain text links remain unclickable.
(Re. font size, I think someone said it was increasing the max. message size, not the font size, that resolved the issue for them. Neither helped for me.)
I searched and couldn't find the answer but I was wondering if anyone knows a way to add contacts to Google voice side only. I know Google voice is attached to your primary email. I tried installing a different gmail account in the google voice app but I ended up with all my contacts merge in both gmail accounts.
