Visual voicemail

I tried looking for the tmobile one on the market but couldn't find it.
Is it available for this phone?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

comes preloaded/integrated with the phone app.
goto phone, select voicemail on the bottom, then go to settings, enable

Its weird I found it but I accidentally turned it off. Now when I go to phone then voicemail and hit the settings button nothing pops up! How do I get it back?

Tasker APP Question

Hi Guys just wanted to ask some settings regarding Background Data and Market.
What I wanted to happen is I want to Setup Background Data to permanently OFF, then when I use Market it will automatically Set to ON is this possible with Tasker? how should I set this up with Tasker.

Yes this is a basic one. Do you mean all data off, or merely auto-sync off?
Start a new profile, with the context being an app, and choose market from the list.
Then when asked, choose new task, and select 'net' then choose mobile data =on, or wifi =on, or autosync = on, or all 3 depending on what you are after. Then create the profile.
With the new profile now in your list, touch the right-hand side, and select "add exit task" then basically do the opposite of whatever you turned on in the first step.
Now when market is opened, your data will turn on, and when you exit the market, it'll turn off.
If you get stuck I can create that profile and export it and post here for you to download and import.

Ah. Apologies it appears that Tasker is very very broken right now.
I've been beta testing ROMs like mad recently, and have not put Tasker back on for a while. I have just tried putting it back on, and none of the App related contexts are working. I have e-mailed Tasker support to see why. I'll let you know what the response is. In the mean time, I have tested a work-around which does work. We can use a Tasker widget. Those still work!
1. Open Tasker, and select the lightning icon to create a new Task (we are not creating a profile here). Name it "Market".
2. Create the following task:
Net> Mobile Data = On
Net> Wifi = On
Tasker> Wait = 2 seconds
App> Load App> Market
3. Before hitting the tick button to save it, select an icon for the widget. Do this by pressing the button that looks like a small multi-coloured chess board. Select 'App Icon' and scroll down to the Market and select it.
4. Now save the Task.
5. Back out of Tasker and back to your home page.
6. Long-press in an appropriate space to add a widget like you normally would. Scroll down the widget list and select 'Task'. It'll have the Tasker icon by it.
7. Select the 'Market' task you just created. It'll give you a quick preview of the settings of the Task. Hit the Tick button.
8. Now your widget is set, and it'll look very similar to the Market shortcut icon. Press this, and Tasker will turn your data on, wait 2 seconds (for a connection to be made) then open the Market.
9. If 2 seconds is not long enough, edit the Task to bump the wait up to 3 or 4 seconds. 2 seconds worked for me.
The only downside to this over a Profile, is that you'll have to manually turn the data back off afterwards. You could either use the HTC widgets, or create another widget using the above steps and just set it to turn off 3G and wifi in one go when pressed. Call it "Data Off" or something.
Hope this helps for now. I'm keen to see why Tasker seems to have gone wrong as I'm one of it's biggest advocates. I'll be sure to post back here when I've gotten to the bottom of it.

Done it. but I couldn't try it right now no Wifi Im outside the house lol will try this when i get home.
Hope tasker will get fixed soon I tried your first Instruction and I think I followed it correctly.
Thanks a lot
One more thing when I add the Widget an Error appears "Warning: couldn't save data, making backup on SD" is this Ok?

Yeah that's fine.
And I've had progress with Tasker not working on my phone. I changed the kernel I was using and it started working again! MDJ's Unity V4 Kernel works perfectly with Tasker.
What are you running? Are you s-off/rooted? I rooted my phone almost straight out of the box, so have never run Tasker on a stock kernel.
Thank you for your post as it has helped highlight something that I had missed in testing! Ironically I thought putting Tasker on a beta ROM would interfere with the bug finding process. We live and learn!

wow cool
Oh mine's S-OFF and Rooted too, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity 2.37 I'm not sure if this is the Kernel I just looked over the "About Phone" it's 2.6.35.13-UNITY-V4-g4796564
oh it says [email protected] #2.. so I think we have the same Kernel? I'm not well aware of this stuffs or maybe I just need a working Wifi Connection still outside Ill be home in 5hrs..

Ah. It was putting unity v4 back on that fixed it. Perhaps try reflashing it.

Sad
Still didn't work tried both methods and Reflashed the Kernel but to no avail , but thanks for the effort and interest in helping me though
must not be compatible with my current ROM
Thanks
(Pressed Thanks)

Tasker dev emailed me back. They have confirmed reports of app recognition failures on certain custom ROMs. Yours must be one of them. Have you asked the dev of your rom about it? Perhaps he could help.

yeah maybe that's the right Idea

I believe you've all misunderstood the OP. (or maybe I misunderstood him)
Tasker doesn't support turning OFF the Background Data setting under the Account & Sync option.
I am looking for an app that could turn this OFF and ON as well.. Don't know if AutomateIt supports it.

Yes unfortunately tasker can't yet turn this off, but with auto-sync turned off (which it can do) then battery drain and data usage are minimal. I don't think turning off both makes for a greater advantage.

Widgetlocker problem

Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....

I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

I presume you have set the lock screen to "none" in the actual phone settings too?

Hi, chrcad,
Finally, the someone else who's been having the same problem.
It IS really irritating. Sometimes it's OK, but other times it just comes on.

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.

chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?

you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?

I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.

Start "loading" when returning to the home page from an app???

Recently, when I returned to the home page from an app, the screen would show "loading" for a few seconds during which all icons on the home page, like clock, weather, phone, internet and everything disappeared. It became more and more annoying because the occurring became more and more often. Do you guys know why this happened and how to fix it? Have any of you met this problem before?

This is because Sense is being kicked out of memory and then having to reload. Try a restart and don't keep as many apps running at once.

Then I have to say 1GB is too small memory, 'cause I do not open many apps. I installed a lot though, maybe there are some apps running at background that I do not know.
Seriously how to close apps completely? just wipe them out at the "recent apps" page or do I have to go to "applications" in settings and close the running apps manually...any good apps to recommend to manage the running apps? Thx

I just use the Task Manager app that comes pre-loaded with the HTC One X. Works great.

Go into SETIINGS > DEVELOPER OPTIONS and Uncheck DONT KEEP ACTIVITIES.

I am using the Task Manager app, too. But it seems that it can only terminate some apps temporarily at the moment when you optimize, after a few seconds, some apps will be started automatically again. Is it me or how it actually works?

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Stop using the task manager, you're defeating the point of ICS in the first place. Let the system manage it on its own, and just kill apps from the task switcher.
That being said, you shouldn't be getting Sense redraw so often, try a reboot or a factory reset.

When I bought mine, the AT&T store had three HOX's on display, and EVERY ONE OF THEM had the "loading" screen, and it lasted for almost 20-30 seconds. Salesman said it was becoming a problem because people are expecting it to be fast and fluid, and this was tarnishing the phone's reputation. He said the issue with the display phones is the AT&T "demo" software that runs on them to display the features keeps killing the Sense process and it has to restart, and that this wouldn't affect anyone in "real world" usage. Haha!
Sad that the simple AT&T on-sreen demo is enough to kill off Sense.

Is it another confirmation that we should not use any task management app other than letting ICS do the work by itself?

Did you even try this? If this is checked, when you return to the home screen you are seeing the loading screen because your phone is killing ALL running applications.
If you uncheck this option this will NOT happen.

No, it's confirmation that either 1) the default memory management is way too aggressive (it is), 2) Sense consumes way too much RAM (it does), or 3) Both (ding ding)
It's only a small, marginal fix, but I've noticed less of the memory management intrusion when I've switched to a less bloated launcher like Apex or Nova.

Try Using Nova Launcher
I was sick of 'loading' home screen too. I deleted the default htc's weather widget and it was a lot better. Still there are some apps that take up too much of ram and sense needs to reload.
I started using Nova launcher and its a lottt better new.

+2 for using a different launcher.
I almost never have this problem with Nova.

My AT&T HOX has the default weather widget, a TON of apps, no task killer running, i'm running 1.85 rooted and unlocked. i NEVER get the Loading screen when I go to my home screen.

nvm mis understood post. thought you were saying to check the box. it comes unchecked by default it should never be checked.

Got this for a while but only when switching between launchers (and when using Sense)
Didn't happen with Nova but did pause a few seconds going back to the Nova home screen.
I just rebooted and it seemed to stop ( plus I grabbed the OTA 1.85 yesterday. I thought it was already rooted)
It's frustrating to have a new top of the line phone and get issues like this because they seem to be over tweaking power management.
