[Q] No Voice Dialer with ICS - HTC Sensation

So the first thing I noticed is that for some reason, there is no more Voice Dialer after the ICS OTA. Bummer since I use this all the time in my car.
I called HTC and they told me that they are looking to fix this but in their original ICS, that feature was still there. That leads me to believe that the carrier (thanks T-Mobile!), for some reason, got rid of it. Maybe it was one of the issues that kept them from pushing out the OTA.
At any rate, HTC said they are working on it (I guess with the carrier) to issue a fix for it. For the time being, they suggest Vlingo.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

This was a huge fail in my mind on the update.
So I started trying out all of the various ROMs... and come to find out, the ones that have bluetooth voice dialing dont have support for WiFi Calling... those that support WiFi Calling dont even allow a Bluetooth headset to connect...
Makes me believe that there is more than meets the eye on ICS and WiFi Calling...

Already confirmed with HTC that it was taken away with the T-Mo OTA push. It's a known issue. Not sure if it's happening only on SOME devices though and you just got lucky...
Are you on TMo?

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile. People are also reporting not having face unlock, but I have that also, and it is working.

I don't have any of those problems. Bluetooth and voice dialing work just fine on mine and I use wifi calling 98% of the time.

make sure you guys get compensated from HTC or Tmobile, when you get a driving violation for physically dialing.

Hmmm, that's really strange...especially because HTC themselves said it was a known issue......haven't asked TMob yet though. Maybe I should...
In any case I know I'm not the only one without the default Voice Dialer that worked so well under GB.
Currently using Vlingo but not as easy to use as the old Voice Dialer...*sigh*...

Hi masondoctorjt!
Do you think it's possible for you to get the Voice Dialer off of your phone and either post it (to help people like me) or somehow send it to me? I'd like to try it and see if if works on my phone.
Thanks much!

T-Mobile USA was made aware of the issue and has confirmed the T-Mobile ICS update removes BT voice dialing and they are in discussions with HTC over this issue.

I am sorry for not responding. Just finally came back to this thread today. I am now using elegencia tmous ROM and I no longer have the suck tmous ROM. Also I must be thinking if something different. I thought you meant that you press the Mic on the call screen and say the numbers you want to dial, which I had/have. But apparently you guys are talking about something else.

I got the inspire 4g early

I got the Inspire 4G. It really is a nice device. It truly is a re-badged Desire HD. HTC has forgotten to change some of the BT menus so they even still say Desire HD.
The software set is fairly decent and unrestrictive. There is a fair amount of AT&T Bloatware that can't just be uninstalled (normal).
I have been up all morning trying to find a version of SWYPE that hasn't expired that has a matching screen resolution for the phone. Even being part of the beta you can sideload the swype app but then the app itself wants to install a separate language pack which the phone blocks.
Feel free to PM suggestions or post questions.

how did you get it early
pics or it never haappened ;D sweet. So who was it that thought they had a rroot procedure?
I got it early via an HTC Release party for the phone. I work for AT&T.
BTW--I FOUND A FUNCTIONAL SWYPE PACKAGE. SWYPE IS WORKING!

This is an easy fix fortunately with the Telus radio. Stupid on their part though. At least its fixable by us on the Inspire, unlike the atrix.

HEEEECCKK yes, hsupa FTW Man reading these posts has me stoked, I think I am more excited about this phone than when I got my iPhone.
Early reports have suggested that the RUU downgrade (in order to root) is causing sound to fail on the Telus Desire HD. So tread cautiously with your Inspires. Maybe they changed the audio hardware and the older firmwares don't have a driver for it?

One person who got the sound bug just got his DHD replaced and won't try again until it is safe. Another user who got it too - has said he will try reflashing the Telus RUU when he gets home in a few hours. If that succeeds then at least we know there's a safety net.
The sound bug is fixed already. i'm running a euro rom on mine with working sound. Everything will be available shortly.
Btw flashing the att ruu fixed any issues i had with sound so there is a safety net.

No this is about the USA model called the HTC inspire 4g. It is a Desire HD but with a couple different hardware modifications. I need to make sure a script we've put in this rom sets up both versions with the correct audio/GPS requirements.

We are going to push changes to the CM7 DHD device before then, probably tonight. You can test anytime you like, but before the changes are introduced would be far more helpful and beneficial - to you.
I'll give it a try tomorrow hopefully, and I'll report back. It's pretty late at this side of the world so I can't really call anyone right now.
music through speaker = yes
music through headset = yes
Calls through headset / speakerphone / regular phone =yes
mic = will test in a minute when i find some to call that is up

EDIT:
mic working fine in all situations
GPS appears fine (i get a lock in GPS Status)
I have both an inspire 4G and a Desire HD.. here in the US, the Inpsire I just got running on AT&T with CM7 and the cm7-inspire-audio-gps-fix patch from the inspire CM7 post.
My Desire HD was from my trip back to Hong Kong when I bought it there, currently I have a US t-mobile Prepaid sim in there.. its running the RC nightly #6
I'll up my desire to #8 and give this a try, and report back, is there any additional information you need, aka Radio info before I start testing?

[Q] WI FI Calling on HTC sensation

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been discussed but i am new and not very tech savy so forgive me.
I have a HTC sensation that I am using on tmobile USA network.
The phone is working great but it does not have the WI FI Calling app that comes with Tmobile branded HTC senations.
I need this app to work on my OEM/Unbranded HTC sensation because parts of my office has no connection from tmobile and this app will be priceless for me!
Please direct me to an easy way to get this app on my HTC sensation.
THANKS
Is that stock firmware? Is your phone rooted?

if your running a stock unbranded sensation, you need to root the phone to even start the process. I have a thread where you can make sure you have the RILs, the APK and the line for support in your build.prop, but you could just flash one of the good roms since most of them include wifi calling anyways
Please tell me one of the really good ones that you know off that works without glitches as being a physician, my phone HAS to work.
Please. thanks.

As far as ROMs with WiFi Calling, you can take your pick of any threads in the Sensation Development forum marked TMOUS**. Personally, I've been using MT_S4G (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201972). I can confirm that WiFi calling works like a charm.
Just make sure you've backed up your important information (Call Logs, Text Messages, etc.) before you flash a custom ROM. Sorry if that's old news, just wanted to make sure.
And one small side-note, I'd personally hold off on telling people you'll donate when asking for replies. I know you meant it kindly, and to communicate your urgency. But it might get taken the wrong way by some folks. We're all on here to help each other out because it's fun, not necessarily because we're looking to make a couple bucks :]
Good luck!
**Actually, I just realized that you're on an unbranded phone. Duh. If that's the case, I don't know if you necessarily HAVE to use a custom ROM marked TMOUS. Maybe someone else can confirm this for me.
No you dont,Leedroids rom has a flashable zip to install it and it works fine on my unbranded sensation if i smash a TMO Sim in it

Just entered internal testing phase at TMO. Won't come this month. HTC said they would release it by end of this month and THEY did! They released it to TMOBILE. It is now up to TMobile to verify, test, and push out, and I'm sorry to say they have promised nothing in the way of time frames. IF all goe well with internal testing, look for the release in the second half of April to first half of May.

What you have to remember is, when HTC promises a timeframe, that does notnjnclude the timeframe it takes the US carrier to release and update (phones that have the same model, but sold both internationally and in the US).
So as to when T-Mobile will push an ics update, well it's really impossible to tell.

T-Mobile ICS upgrade
My suspicion is it's going to be a long time, if ever, before we see an official T-Mobile USA ICS upgrade for our Sensations.
Reasons being:
An ICS OTA upgrade will result in a huge bump in calls to T-Mobiles support lines. Having worked in a call center the last thing they want is more calls as more calls mean more $$ going out the door.
An ICS upgrade for the Sensation might undercut sales of the upcoming HTC One, which T-Mobile definitely doesn't want to do.
It would not surprise if the upgrade doesn't come before the fall or even if they blow it off completely. Just my opinion.

Yeah, what you said is not gonna happen. T-mobile upgrades phones all the time. They upgraded the mytouch from froyo to gingerbread, so why would they not upgrade the sensation from gingerbread to ics. They will get more calls to cs for not upgrading it than If they upgrade and have problems. But it will take a little longer, because they gotta get their bloatware working with it.

I think he was just referring to the other guy above, no quote just a bit confusing!
You people are so positive! I think that they are simply working to make their bloatware compatible with ics. The first thing I would do is delete that junk.
The tricky thing might be getting Wifi calling to work on ICS. I know some of the Rom developers were having trouble getting this working.
HTC Confirmed that the "Sensation 4G", which is T-mobile's branded version will get ICS, so I certainly think it is coming.
I am just worried their marketing team will push it off till after HTC One and Galaxy SIII launch so they get a bunch of people upgrading/renewing for pre-installed ICS phones...

Yep, my Sensation just updated to the newest Play store - v.3.5.15 along with a slew of apps that needed to be updated - some good, some bloated; among them Flash player 11 and slacker radio. So maybe these updated apps push may have something to do with ICS incompatibility.
Regardless, T-MO will eventually send out an ICS update. I'm hoping next week, but realistically, sometime in April. May would be a complete joke.
No ICS anytime soon...
Today T-Mobile started replying on Facebook to inquiries regarding ICS on the Sensation with variations of the following "T-Mobile USA Oh you're sporting the sensation, nice! right now we have done some tests with what HTC has provided us for ICS on the Sensation and the results were not exactly what we needed so HTC is currently working on fixing the bugs so we can roll that out. ^KM" In short they are saying they've run into problems and sent it back to HTC for review. Don't see this coming out anytime before the second half of the year.

USA ICS release - T-Mobile/HTC update

Full article from Android and Me
HTC has delivered a ROM to us however it is still having issues the reason that other sensation types have the update without issue and ours did not come out that way is because every ROM must be adapted to the hardware of the device because we use a different radio than other providers and also have applications such as wifi calling it also has to be compatible with those. What the HTC rep told you is most likely correct because once a ROM is delivered we have 2 weeks to test it and then approve it or send it back they then have 4 weeks to fix the bugs and return it back to us, where we are exactly in that process I do not know but that is how a ROM is delivered to the customer.
The original ROM was not delivered to us in November, we started testing it just recently but I think it has been longer than 2 weeks so at this point HTC most likely has the ball.
You bought a phone and it has been announced that you are getting ICS you have every right to know what’s going on with it and when you can see these awesome features. I did go into a lot of detail about how a ROM gets to the end user (you guys) but that wasn’t to point fingers only so you would have a better understanding of why you don’t have it yet, the bottom line is the Sensation has T-Mobile’s and HTC’s name all over it and both companies want to make you proud to be a Sensation owner so we are working as fast as we can to deliver it but also want to make sure that it stands up to your expectations.

It seems that HTC can't get the Wifi calling to work within spec. It didn't work the first time and TMO told HTC that they needed to work on it some more. It's going back and forth between TMO and HTC.
And no offense to our devs here, but lets be realistic. Our roms here aren't without their issues. Ie. wifi calling still crashing, mms not working, proximity sensor issues, wifi issues, bt issues, etc. but the positive is that the roms here get better than their respective base.

I don't think it's fair that the devs don't have access to the same resources that tmo and htc have either. If they did we would probably also have perfect 'native' ports of Samsung's, Sony's, and Moto's UIs, lol. it is what it is. the devs have improved on what's been released (although, I would like to see a rom that emphasizes stability instead of tweaks - Maybe I'll take a crack at it if I can find enough time, we'll see).
As far as free help is concerned... I don't know how much work they actually take off XDA (although, i'm sure it's happened, i feel like it's little). The X10 (in which I had a little previous experience) had a number of things fixed that's never (and never will be) fixed in any official rom.
but the original point was to contradict this statement: "our custom ROM chefs don't seem to have a problem" and "So T-Mobile can't get their WiFi Calling and ...". There are issues and it's not just TMO but HTC can't fix wifi calling in a timely manner. Just trying to dispel inaccuracies (IMHO).
I would rather have a clean ROM straight from HTC without T-Mobile adding junk to it anyway, including WiFi calling...
Well what it is that tmobl locked the phone up so it can't use att making HTC redo there **** its out everywhere but here in us
Looks like a corp had a hand trying to block the progress of something with hardware changes and bloatware I would love a Rom from HRC or google with out tmob trash but I am not on tmob now so I have no bloat lol

So. The devs and chefs are doing a FANTASTIC job, especially with these kernels.
Just like i tell everyone in every single rom forum for the sensation. T-Mobile's Wifi calling is just useless bloatware that is a program easy as hell for, supposed amazing techs of their caliber to make and now we have to wait for official Ics due to an app that don't work stock or rooted. Everytime i use wifi calling, and yes on stock, all i get is" HUH,WHAT DID YOU SAY, I CANT HEAR YOU",. And thats why it also rarely works in roms. It's not HTC's fault T-Mobile has a shi%$ program that is useless out the box. Wouldn't be useless if it ever worked. And now we have to wait for Ics because of it.

I would rather have a clean ROM straight from HTC without T-Mobile adding junk to it anyway, including WiFi calling...

Yep, this would be the best scenario!

Ditto. I've been on ARHD for three weeks and I have not looked back. I haven't found anything that doesn't work.

Wifi calling is a great feature. I never have problems with voice quality. Maybe your interner sucks.

I agree Wifi calling is not perfet but for me it is a must. I use it when I'm overseas and in basements where I can't get reception. My friends who have iphones are jealous because they have to go to the first floor to get reception and make calls.
We are not getting the official update until tmobile makes sales on the one-s ..it will probably be in May when we see the update..good thing I have a nexus with 4.0.4..**

^ Likewise I depend on wifi calling. I'll pass on the other bloatware, but this isn't an optional app for me. I'm afraid that I've had no consistent luck with the ROMs available here.
I suspect that will change once T-Mobile has released their ICS update with a working configuration and (possibly) an updated app. In the meantime, I am content to wait.
It's based on my opinion.**

WiFi calling is not bloatware to people who use it. I use it everyday at home. There's no way I can make or receive call without it. I also use it every time I'm overseas. For me, WiFi calling is a must. That's why I don't dare play around different roms for fear of messing up the WiFi calling feature. I can also wait for the official update with a working WiFi calling.
