anyone using this free service w/ the g2x? do you recommend it?
I used to use it. Then I discovered Google Voice and haven't looked back.

I use it in the rare instances I get voicemail and I have no problems so far on the g2x. You have to call T-Mobile and activate it on your account (it's free) .

Huh, I just checked it out in the market.. Check out the last dozen or so comments.. "Doesn't work on the g2x". Obviously it's working for you..
Working here.
I use Yap (search for it in the market). It's free and simple and works well. Very good speech to text recognition too.
youmail. love it, and it freaks my friends out when my voice mail knows their name...
Working fine here as well! The T-Mobile app that is.
I don't see why it shouldn't work?
For me it works out of the box, no activiation needed.
Just verified again that it works. Called my phone left a message and it instantly downloaded into the t-mobile visual voicemail app. I had to activate it a looong time ago with my G1. Only had issues with it on Nexus One.

+1 for Google voice. Not only does it work great for voice messages but also to send them to you via email. It has pretty good voice recognision and I also like that I can use it to call out over my Google Voice phone number, which I use for a personal business.
It's especially nice for calling someone who you know is avoiding your calls (lame friends) so they don't recognize the number.
Guys, how can I make a video call with the Sensation?

I would imagine it's no different than any other phone... Just use a video calling app. Qik, oovoo, tango, yahoo, et al.

Thanks mate! I thought that the function is integrated within HTC dialer.
It would be nice to see a way to make regular 3G video calls. I mean these video calls every non-smartphone device with a front camera can do over 3G. The only known android phone that implements this is the Galaxy S.
Yes, that would actually be great. Is there a way of making regular 3G video calls?

No video calling and Microsoft just bought them out. I doubt we'll see it soon unfortunately.

I downloaded Skype and I haven't figured out how to make a video call yet (just voice). I'm guessing I have to use the Qik app that came with the phone...problem is not many of my friends use Qik...they use Skype. Kinda disappointing

As stated above, Skype does not support video calls for mobile yet. I heard they are working on it, but who knows how long it will take with Microsoft taking over. It'll show up on WP7 before we see it at this point.

You sure he doesn't have a custom Rom on his mt4g? Cause tango for me works perfect.

If you go to Skype's website it says that mobile video calling will be available for Verizon's LTE 4g network soon. I hope it's not exclusive just to Verizon users.

What's the difference between this and Skype? I've made alot of videocalls on Skype and at least I can call friends on PC. What's the benefit of having Fringe installed? It's something like Whatsapp but for video calls as I see.
I understood that OP wants to make a 3G Video call...not a video call through whatever data connection it's active on the phone(including 3G). From my understanding that is a video call service that's depending on the operator. Vodafone is offering that in RO, I belive it's available for other countries/operators as well. And that means you can video call someone by his phone number
The service is described better HERE
Exactly rapier......
I meant the video calls through mobile network..... Not through internet....... Evn many java phones does this...... Y cant our much much advanced smart phones do this....??

I find gtalk smooth.
Think you can install gtalk with videocalls for desire s if you're rooted

Other option is if you both have the viber app
Plus Skype and fring as others have mentioned

I am in the same situation... I want to use this service too, but I started to think that is impossible with android phone. I had three phones with Android so far, but none of them have this option.....
As I saw, phones with 3G video call have a dedicated buton for this. This is not the case with our Android phones.
I called my operator now (Vodafone) and I got the confirmation. Android phones are not compatible with this service. Only phones that have a dedicated video call buton and are listed on the operator's compatibility list can use this service

Can some1 develop sumthing like this?????

3G native calling is not supported by Android. Only Samsung and LG android phones support it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I was searching for this some time too. Unfortunately only apps like Skype or Fring are making this possible on my Desire S, but the client has to be installed on the other person phone too and this is a bit limiting. This is my only dissapointment of Android so far but I am finding it strange to have this service natively supported on my 2008' Nokia but not on my 2011' smartphone.
I truly hope that someday someone will suddenly share a nice way do make videocalls through the mobile network with Desire S
Tango is a very good video call app

olyloh6696, you just opened this thread. Could it be exactly what the OP here wanted? I just recall, when I was using Edymion ROM, that I had that video camera buton but never tried to use it. It could be the equivalent of the hardware "video call" buton on some phones for making 3G calls. Someone with sense rom could eventually try it

I have it on Virtuous too. But how can we add recipients there?
You shouldn't add recipients...sorry cause I don't have the ROM installed to try, but I suppose that button works identical with the normal "call" button, just that it is a video call instead. The person you are calling should support the video calling feature and have the service active from the operator in order for it to work. The way it should be used is by selecting a person from your contacts, then call using that video buton instead of the normal call button
Ah thanks! That clears it up! Cheers

I love my Inspire 4G and I run the RCMix3D Runny 4.0 ROM. It is fast, I like the fonts and the icons and love Sense 3.5. I also ran a UV script and another script I am forgetting. I have a few issues and the ones I have found are minor, however, just recently though I discovered I can not make outgoing calls with Google Voice. I am in the US on AT&T and its not even an option in the Voice setup to make all calls with Voice. I flashed another ROM to see if this was a ROM issue or some other phone setting issue. The other ROM I flashed (Android Revolution) I had the same issue. No option to make calls (other than international) via Google Voice. Short of flashing back to stock any one have an idea? I was thinking maybe there is a setting to do with location or carrier that is not right. I am using the RCMix kernel. It reports in the 'About Phone' to be a 'HTC Inspire 4G.' I have uninstalled Voice several times and reinstalled without any luck. A previous ROM flash showed the phone as Desire HD so I wonder if I am stuck with a phone that is reporting to be a non-US phone and no-us market Apps?
Use groovy IP if you are trying to make data calls. If you just want people to see your GV number and use your plan minutes in settings you should see

That is what I am getting at. If I posted a screen shot I only have three choices and the first one is not make all calls with Google voice. I have a sip account where I can dial out with my home VoIP but I want voice to work so I can port my number.

There should be no reason why you have only 3 of the 4 choices. Make sure you update google voice to the latest version. But your posts are confusing. In first post you say you can't make any voice calls. Your last post says you can at least set it on "ask". So which is it?

You could be more clear on how you have this sip account setup. If it is set to make all calls, that could be the reason you are missing that option with Voice. If your intent is to port your cell number to Voice for use with the sip account, that won't work. Voice requires you to have a cell plan.

I thought I said it only gives a choice toake international calls. I have three options, Use for international, do not use and ask me everytime I make INTERNATIONAL call. I have the newest version . Like I said its like I am getting a non-US apk from the market since free voice calling is US ONLY. I am in Kentucky. I think a version of ClearDroid reported my phone as a Desire HD. Maybe my market account is hosed.

Does not matter because before I setup the sip Voice would not work. I have VoIP at home and they provide sip settings for softphone use.

Does not make a difference on my phone but on your phone it might since you have a sip account set up. Homescreen > menu button > settings > call > Use internet calling and try changing your setting to something else.
If you think it might help here is the google voice from my phone.
Thanks. I think it is something deeper because I flashed a different Rom yesterday and same issue. Flashed Rom, booted, download voice run setup and same issue. Nothing else was configured. Tring yours!

No luck. I removed the sip account too. Uninstalled voice and rebooted then tried yours. Was hoping there was a system file I could dig into to check device type and or location. Maybe I am off base thinking its something like that. I could flash back stock I guess.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
In your settings for google voice, do you have the area code listed in "This phone's number"? Try "add this phone" again and see if that helps. On the same note I have heard that google voice cannot send voip calls from certain area codes. Have you been able in the past to use google voice with the area code on the phone?
Yes the area code comes up. I believe at one point when I first got the phone the missing option to make calls was there. I've done all sorts of setting changes on the phone and via a browser on the voice side and nothing works.

I'm doubtful that it is rom related. Cleardroid is and has always been based off of the stock Inspire roms. Also, I am using a non US based rom that has been modded for the Inspire and Voice has all the options and works as it should for me.

I agree as changing ROM had no effect. I am on RcMix3D Runny. I think I will flash stock and see what happens from there.
