TiKL for Android is a Push to Talk app that uses Voip. Just found this today on the market and have been playing around with it with some friends. Has great potential! I cant post links yet, (if someone could help me out and post one) just do a search for TiKL in the market.
Great app love it has g great potential. Love waking my wife up in the mornings with it. Needs a contacts widget so all you have to so is click on their person to chirp them

Ok
someone please explain to me the usefulness of push to talk. I really never got it, and seriously want to understand how it is used and why it's different than calling someone? And I'm not being sarcastic. REALLY I AM NOT!
Is it just a "doesn't cost minutes" thing? Just a real world scenario where you would use this instead of calling would be great.
We run UPS and Generator tests at my job and there are like 5 of us that need to stay in constant contact with each other while the tests are going on. Some of us are on the first floor of the building, some are on the fourth floor and its way easier to just push to talk rather than dialing every time.

i have had this app for about 2 weeks now and i must say i like it alot..great potential and yet easy to use..i can see this app being around for quite some time with the amount of downloads and 4-5 star ratings from tons of users that have downloaded so far...
two things it needs
1. widget
2. some type of contact list instead of the pop down menu
thanks OP!!!!!!!!!
any way for me and my buddy to communicate with push to talk? he is on WM and IM on android.
Not at the moment. TiKL is only for android.
great app but kills my battery!
this is a nice app, and i dont want to scare anyone away from it but one time a friend of mine was still transmitting to me long after he stopped pressing the button and had put his phone down with the screen off. He wasent able to stop transmitting until after using a task kill

Havn't had that problem yet. It is still in beta remember.
So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!
Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

I have the Evo for sprint which should be similar. Open your People/contacts app, hit menu, and you should see an option that says 'View'. Select view to choose which contacts you want displayed and deselect your Facebook account.

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.
I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

You are, with the Inspire 4G. hahaha
I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

I really, really like this phone. My ear speaker is great, although the external speaker is a little weak. Not a huge deal though, just had to select the high pitched notifications to be sure to hear them.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?
Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.
This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).
The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

Would it be possible to make the hard keys flash for notifications considering the fact that we don't have a real one?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
It might be possible, but I don't know how useful it would be. Those lights aren't very bright so you can only really see them in a dim environment. Some people have been using NoLED from the Market.
I don't really find myself needing this, and don't see where I'd find it that useful, but I've never had a phone that had notification light, so it may just be a matter of not understanding what I'm missing.

Full answer is there is nothing as of now, and it would require a dev with the time and the inclination to work on it, if it is indeed possible. For now, NoLED is the only real solution if you really want the notifications.
There is a guy named neldar in the Samsung galaxy forums that has a modded kernel with backlight notification enabled and you download his app from the market to control it. I tried to put him in touch with imnuts about getting his code and mixing it into his kernels. I'm not sure what the status of that is. I don't actually know either of the guys but neldar said he could provide a patch for dev who wanted to build bln into a kernel. I would love to have bln and am also disappointed that Samsung left that basic led notification out of their design.
Will have to check that app out. My wife used to have all phones that used to have a light. That way when at work she can have her phone silent but see when a notice comes in. One of her only complaints about the charge so far. That and the GPS issue.
Glance is another free app - turns on your screen for a few seconds when you get a notification.

Downloaded and havent used it much but seems to do What we need it for.
OK, this may be an odd question but here goes...
My phone's been playing this weird Sci Fi type sound at completely random times. I have no idea if this is due to a system function or an app. I've used ES File Manager to scan the SD card for all media files and it's not on the card. It won't scan the system directory and Root Explorer doesn't seem to have a scan function either. I've only noticed this happening once every few days and when I check the phone afterward I don't see any unfamiliar alerts or messages.
Took me a while to track down a reasonably facsimile... It sounds similar to the last sound in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPOU-AUuxKw&feature=related
(skip to 2:08)
What ROM are you using?
It's rooted but it's the stock ROM. I got the phone right after Christmas because my HD2 just up and died. After rooting and de-bloating the phone I haven't felt the need, yet, to try a custom ROM.
Also, I've disabled the bootup animations.
Wow, that's freaking creepy!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Definitely creepy. No notifications or anything, eh? I'd probably make a backup of the contacts (if you're not synching them with T-Mobile or Google already) and anything else that's important, then do a factory data reset to see if it continues to happen.

Hahaha... Right?! It played at 4:30 this morning. The phone was just sitting on the night stand. So it's got to be some sort of system function or application that's being run by the OS. I've double checked all the ring tones and notification tones for all email, messaging and calendar apps and can't find it anywhere. If this sound persists I'll just have to go with the "my phone is possessed" explanation.
After some more investigation, I've found this sound is made by a musical instrument called a blaster beam. (Of course, if there is a Blaster Beam App, it's not installed on my phone. ) And it actually sounds closer to the sound of the seismic charges from Star Wars II. The two sounds are compared here:

This is just really freaky.
Yeah, weird sound. LOL. I can't fathom what would make it do that.

No, nothing out of the ordinary. When I heard the sound this morning I checked and there was nothing but a couple gmail notifications. I checked the gmail and email properties, of course, and there is no such sound in the list.
Yeah, if I can't figure out where this is coming from I'll do the factory reset. Not quite ready to do that yet, though. Got to admit... My curiosity is getting the better of me.

Huh. Good suggestion but that's not it either. I don't have a twitter app installed and though I do have Facebook, I never stay logged in. Checked it anyway, though, and none of the notification sounds are the right one.
But thanks for the suggestion.
I posted a couple examples above in the thread but this is as close as I can find to the sound (as I remember it). http://www.thepickofdestiny.com/temp/BlasterBeam2.mp3

Restore to a stock ROM with either odin or heimdall, and reinstall are your apps one by one... Do you have any kind of av program? Try running a scan to see if you got some kind of virus...

Still on the factory stock ROM. Never loaded any custom ROMs. The only thing I've done to the OS is root. And that was primarily so I could install Titanium and lose the bloat that Samsung & Tmo put in.
Currently running Lookout AV. If there's a better one out there I'll try it. I've only been playing with Android devices for a couple months so I'm still pretty new in this arena.

OK, question answered. (And now I feel really stupid.)
The reason I couldn't find that sound file anywhere on the phone is because it wasn't coming from the phone. (DUH!) The sound file is called "Radon" and it was coming from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 which was sitting nearby. It was an alert notification coming from the built-in email client. I only found it because I was checking my Tab this morning when an email came in and I saw the notification flash in the status window. I probably hadn't made the connection before because I usually have the sound off on the tab so as not to disturb the wife while she's sleeping. (I can sleep through anything.)
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
I'm going to go lie down in the street, now.

Hey guys,
Could someone please explain to me why the HOX is so inferior to the iPhone 4S as far as sending and recieving pictures via mms and email. I very rarely am able to actually recieve pics sent by text, and I have to send pictures individually over email versus 2,3 or even 4 pics per email on the iPhone. Video's are totally out of the question on the HOX. This is really the only complaint I have with the HTC. Is thee anything i can do, or are we just screwed?
I send and receive images all the time with no issues. Perhaps you're misplacing blame?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It's not that hard to add another contact in the "To" line in the Gmail app.
And are you using a different SMS app? Maybe it's AT&T, I only get EDGE on my HOX cause I'm on T-mobile.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X
Yeah I've never had a problem with mms messages either, and I can also attach as many pictures to an email as I want. I think you've got something else going on because these definitely aren't HOX related issues.
He probably doesn't know how to use anything besides an iPhone, I just sent an email to 3 people without having to remake the same email.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X
I don't use the stock mail app, but gmail allows me to attach plenty of pics. My brother has a 4s, even he can't send large vids via email, we use YouTube for that.
Are you stock or rooted or ....can you be more specific?
No problems here bro. Stock messaging app and gmail work fine too... So does k-9 mail..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Not receiving sms/mms probably has to do with the carrier and not the phone. I've never had any issues sending or receiving picture messages.
As far as sending multiple pictures per email, this isn't that hard either. Open gallery, press the share button and chose your method (example Gmail), then select the pictures you want to attach and hit next. Gmail will open with all the pictures attached and all you gotta do is enter email address (one or multiple).

Pretty easy to see how you got to 2,000+ posts. Do you ever add anything constructive?
Misplacing blame? What a bunch of over sensitive girls. I asked some simple questions and asked for advice. I have never been able to get a video to play from gmail on this phone. I am constantly having people ask me if I got the pictures they texted me. Several times today I tried to email 4 pictures at once. Every time it failed. Finally had to end them individually and they all went through. I'm on AT&T. Handcent SMS and the stock ICS email app.
Metalhead, you seem to be the only one mature enough to give a straight answer. What do you suggest I look at to fix these problems?
I have had the same problem with the mail app connected to exchange on wifi, it wouldn't let me send an email with pics. It might just be the stock rom causing issues.

"Misplacing blame" was a fancy way of calling you an idiot. You didnt ask specific questions as much as you did complain and compare the one x to the iPhone.

Coming from an iPhone, I definitely recommend the JB Messaging (formerly ICS Messaging) from the Google Play Store.

OP, your scenario is strange. I haven't had either of the issues that you are experiencing since I've had my HOX. MMS messages send and receive just fine for me and I have no problem sending multiple pictures via the Gmail app.
In the past I have had these issues on other phones, but it was usually due to AT&T network issues. Have you tried holding the power button down for ten seconds? This is supposed to simulate a battery pull. Beyond that, maybe a master reset?

Thanks for the heads up! JB Messaging is awesome.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL on Rogers.
As far as the email issue, some more info would help. Is it gmail, exchange, hotmail, or what?
You have to remember that you're sending what can be large files, and you can end up with a size limitation there, which largely depends on your email provider and what they allow/tolerate.
As to the MMS issues, do try stock. 3rd party apps have been known to not always play nice on various devices, particularly brand new ones, and especially brand new ones running custom ROMs. So it could be that, or carrier issues, or the other party's carrier, etc.
Finally, before completely knocking the phone and pissing off people who a) like said phone and b) actually know a few things that can help, check the attitude and tone it down. Don't get pissed at the responses you get when you march in the door and, quite loudly, let your ignorance show.
