Here in Holland we have to pay to listen to our voicemail messages.
I was wondering if there is an app that does the following:
Auto picksup after 15-20 secs, then plays a message + beep, and then records a message on your phone locally.
This would save me alot of cash.
So does anyone knows an app like this?
Thanks!
I have recently started using Tasker. It can completely (almost) automatically. It can auto answer calls, play files and record calls. It can be fiddly, but is powerful and should do what you want (and more).

Hmm, it's kind of pricy.
I would like to try if this program offers what I want before I pay this much for it
I suggest Google Voice, its great for voicemails and whole variety of other features. It also has the ability to convert you voicemails into script which you read from your home screen what using any minute's. Here's a link for a demo

Hope its what you need.

Sounds great, but not available in my country yet
Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future.
That blows, is your phone rooted?

That has nothing todo with it, I can install Google Voice on my phone.
But I need to connect it to an gmail account, I have one but I have set all language settings to Unitaded states and I still get the message "your country is not supported"
I understand, the only other app I can think of is YouMail.

Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks
looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.
I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho
Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?
Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.
Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?
I have a Charge and a Ipod touch and wander if you can video chat between the two. I've tried searching but I can't find squat on it.
Tango works between Android and Apple. Droid Charge supported.

Is there an app that can text messages using my cell phone number for Amazon Kindle Fire?
If u have sprint and Google voice u can do it.

Desk sms

Desk sms doesn't really work that well bc it just gets sent to your email and what not.. I would personally recommend tablet talk. Just make sure both phone and tablet are on the same wifi, run the program and sync. I use it a lot when I'm away from my phone

Google voice on everything.
Desksms works perfect. It will notify via google voice. This allows you to send and receive texts anywhere you have access to google voice as if it were sent from your phone.

Desk sms notifies to gtalk as well, look under notification options to change it. Best tablet to text app imo

Any other alternatives besides Tablet Talk and Desk SMS?
is there something in particular desksms doesn't do for you?

It costs money.
Not in the Android Market??
mightytext new version might do the job
i've signed up for the mightytext web beta which supposedly works in any browser... current version works only on chrome extension, but their web version is in private beta. maybe u can ask the dev for invite?
It is in the market. And it cost what 5/year I think it was, to cover his server costs... hardly spend for a solid app that adds such versatility to your phone

Desksms doesn't work. I don't see where to go with it. In fact, I don't think it can do any sms. Also google voice requires you to have the Kindle Fire to be able to hear your voice. That obviously do not work because the Fire doesn't have a mic.
I use it daily. It does work. And its the only solution I've seen for sending a text from another device that will appear to the recipient as though it came from your cell number which is what the original post specified.
You need google talk on your kindle and desksms on your phone. Set desksms to notify in google talk. You will then be able to send and receive texts in google talk. What its doing is forwarding and then sending from the phone. So your phone will need to be on and in service. This works for any device that has access to google talk

Does anyone have any ideas regarding alternative applications (besides sms/texting) that require a phone number working on the Fire?
Someone said in a different thread that you could have Whatsapp working by doing a Titanium restore, but it received messages on the Fire or the phone at random.
I am using desksms and it works fine. I use mighty text from the market and it works very well on my laptop. Hopefully they develop it further for tablets.

Lately a lot of Google software is morphing into confusing overdesigned buggy bloat. Hangouts, Google+, Music, they are all got worse. Probably because Andy Rubin is gone and that guy is in charge. They really should kick him out.

Uninstall Google Play Services. When you launch Hangouts, it will say that it's missing a needed component and you need to download it from the Play Store. After you download that version, it should work.

Thanks, it worked. Sadly I don't like it. Seems like Google is Making changes to things that don't need to be changed.

I just had a transatlantic video call using Hangouts.
As ugly and un-user-friendly as it seems, it was the best quality video call I had in years, so I guess technology wise they did make some improvement.
