Google Talk on TMOUS HD2.

I have a question to all HD2 TMOUS owners.
It's been stated on the HTC web site that this version of phone will have Google Talk™ software. Can anybody confirm that this is true. And the second thing I would like to know if this software works similar like on Nokia N900. I have friend of mine who has N900 and we just checked that Nokia IM soft can use front cam and you can make a video call. So attractive feature. I was calling him from my home pc via GTalk web, he was using his mobile phone on WIFI and I could see him. Can we perform that on HD2 as well?

The Gtalk is part of the OZ IM.
And is chat only, no voice, file transfer etc.

And I think it uses your SMS quota, so sucks if you don't have a plan.

And the application is horrible. I started it, and the status of the people on my list never changed, I never got IMs unless I initiated them myself, and it seemed like the application would never reboot itself, even with a cold reboot of the phone. So it always said I had 2 conversations going and the people were offline, when they were clearly online on my PC. So far I've been pretty unimpressed with the software on the HD2 and have called TMobile about returning the phone. It's such a shame too, its a damn sexy phone and so fast... I'd just rather have android.

I'm with you on this one, but don't have an equivalent android phone to upgrade to. I don't want what t-mobile considers to be the top of the line, and I can't afford the nexus one.
All I need is fully functioning GMAIL and GTALK and windows mobile can't supply either out the box. I don't want to have to pay for apps to do something everyone else gets for free. I'd be happy with GTALK if it just told me when I get an IM. That's right, I don't get any notifications from it at all . If I'm on the phone I'll hear a beep but don't get anything on the status bar. I looked at it today and noticed I had 2 new chats that I missed. And don't even attempt to switch between 2 chat windows...the first window is never selectable

Use Palringo or IM+ I'm using Palringo, and you can set it up to have two GTalk accounts online at the same time (not that anyone would ever have more than one gtalk account ).

But have you looked at your blackberry? cause, I tried to use my blackberry last night after having HD2 for 7 days.
I do not miss it anymore.
I mean, the screen looked so tiny, I couldn't read anything. haha.
But all in all, I do miss the keyboard.

I don't know what you're talking about, I use GTalk all the time and have never had any issues with contacts updating and conversations work flawlessly inbound and outbound.

Google Voice

Has anybody else noticed that with each new update, texting works less and has more fing bugs than you can shake a stick at? Some days...it really drives me nuts, and I think its sprint's crappy 3G, but the issues are the same when on wifi or 4g, too.
Which version was the best (I think one before the current version); does anyone have that .apk?
Sent from my Carbon Fibered EVO.

Hmmm, no, haven't had any issues to be honest. Don't know if it's location based or what, but just to offer another data point I'm in downtown Chicago and rarely stray out to the 'burbs. Could possibly be different somewhere else.

No issues with Google Voice here whatsoever, except for the occasional (<1%) time when a call doesn't get routed to me, or the (<5%) chance that the person listens to about four extra rings before my cellphone starts ringing.

I have even fewer troubles than drmacinyasha and I'm in a small town in Iowa.

You are so lucky.
My texts get hung up, wont send, freeze the whole app, then the other person gets it 5 times, ect. Doesn't matter 3g, 4g, or wifi. Its all I use for texting because I'd rather type on my computer, but when I actually have to text from my phone...its a different story.

what rom are you using? how do you know there isn't another app causing the problem?

Myn's RLS 5. I've uninstalled the app and other apps several times - happened on other roms too, like Fresh's.

mine lag as well. Same ROM. maybe its time for a switch

Are you using the anonymous voice feedback? (whichever thing it asked about opting in to when you search for the very first time) I noticed when I said "no" on stock Sense it worked poorly, then better on Warm 2.2 RLS5 and CyanogenMod7 when I said "yes."

What you are describing used to happen to me but it doesn't anymore. The latest version actually fixed multiple and send failures. Other than I've seen once or twice of deleting something then it comes back later, is the only thing I've seen that isn't working right. What's funny is that occasionally, like right now, I use the evo and not the evo shift. I notice lag in the old evo that isn't as bad or isn't there at all in the shift. On both phones I'm running stock rooted.

The only thing I've noticed is that one time I didn't get a text from my girlfriend. Phone calls work great. Texting works great. Maybe I'm the lucky one.

I had the same texting problems with the any rom with the stock messaging.

I just tell people to get with the program and send pictures through email. And if their phone doesn't have email, get with the program and get a better phone.

Only on the web app. They need to add that. There hasn't been a update to the app in while.

They need to update a lot of their apps. Google Voice needs multiple recipient texting. Google Reader needs a "mark as read" feature implemented. Google Reader needs bookmarks. And the list goes on. Instead... they put out Androidify. Don't get me wrong, I made one. But still, there are more important things they could be doing.

My week with Gingerbread :^(

As we all know Gingerbread has been in the oven... And I was one of those people who could not wait for it to cool off. As soon as I saw the leak early saturday morning, I was already downloading. what could go wrong, right? I odin'd the ef02.tar, started her up and wow, she's beautiful, save the extra ugly 4g symbol in the window sill (notification bar) that looks even worse now than previous desserts.
Keep in mind this is a stock .tar. No root. No cwm. No nothing. Except bloat. Low and behold my beautiful lil girl had a very serious functionality flaw. After my first reboot, no more incoming phone calls :^(...
So I've tried everything, I gained root, installed cwm 3.1.0.1 wiped data, cache, dalvik multiple times. Re odin'd the .tar. Flashed Decad3nce's odexed and deodexed roms. Updated modems. Tried frozen on ec05, took a shot at simply AOSP, odin'd a stock ec05, even went all the way back to eb13, with cwm 2.5 (changing file systems when needed) now I'm back to a bone stock ec05 from the stickies in development... Still no incoming phone calls. I called sprint technical and they were unable to resolve the issue.
Funny thing is I can make calls, I have data (3&4g), I can text, just won't receive.
Has anybody else seen anything remotely close to this. If so please comment, if not, comment anyways. I wanna get some opinions on my situation.
P.S. feel free to laugh at my short comings, lord knows just thinking about it brings chuckles to my mind...

Something kinda similar is happening to me. It was after flashing marcusaunts i1 rom, i lost the ability to receive texts, i can send them though. Im not sure if i can make calls, but i can receive them. i have to press one to accept every call though. Im calling sprint soon, its been like this for 3 days.

Have you tried reprovisioning under Settings>About Phone>System Updates>update profile

You know, i did install google voice. But ive installed it multiple times until now, so i figured it was unrelated. But this past time it did take my texts through there, which had never happened before. thats why i uninstalled it. Im gonna check that out and see if it fixes it. Good luck with your issues.

Sounds like you clicked yes to Sprint integration (ports your number temporarily to google). So they go to your google voice account, however you can check an option to have them sent also to your phone as well (although if you do this with google voice installed you will probably get 2 notifications per 1 sms). Also call screening is an option that is enabled by default, option in google voice (desktop web interface). I had to turn that off too (the press 1 thing). Hope this helps, its just options. Also you could go online and disable the integration and go back to normal.
EDIT: Also make sure your phone is listed to receive calls in the web interface (via a desktop). I know it should do this by default but maybe it didn't for god knows what reason?

Uninstalling it won't do anything. You must deactivate it via voice settings at voice.google.com frm a pc. (Or dolphin w desktop ua)

Well well well my friend, seems like i'm the idiot, and your the genius. I tried doing it on opera and the stock browser and could click on the gear on the top right corner, but never get into the settings section. Just did it from dolphin and boom. Going to the xda site right now to say thx

I had disabled it, it just took a bit. but its all working again Thanks so much man.

I remember when I did that... Sat there for an hour pulling out my hair before I realized I needed to click the number on the right side of the GoogleVoice Page to change the settings. Not my proudest moment.

Yea, I think if multiple people on smart enough to flash a rom get confused I think google needs to make thinks a bit easier to understand. Glad I could help.

The GV set up options really suck. i already have a gv number and always have to go into the desktop voice application and disable the integration.

I just came back from the sprint store, and none of there techs could give me anything in depth about google voice. They just said it was beta and somewhat "finneky" however my phone works perfect now. I had to use a pc at the store while I was warranting my samsung dock (fyi don't use desk dock with any charger other than tge one provided)

sprint voicemail on the 935U software

Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you

This is simple through titanium backup. No one?

The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.

Thanks again seems to be working

Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.

Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.

It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?

Yeah I couldn't get it to work either

Didn't work for me either

Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...

It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back

If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?

Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse

Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

Phone lags when receiving text messages

I guess the title is pretty self explanatory. I'm not rooted and running the latest updates from Tmo. This has been a issue since the first day I bought the phone but I guess now it's getting to me. I've tried the stock messaging app as well as Chomp, Textra and Handcent and it's the same thing. No matter what I'm doing, when I get a text message the phone freezes/lags. I can pretty much predict when I have one coming because of it. This is first phone I can remember having this issue. Old gf of mine used to have the S5 complained of the same thing and this is my first Samsung device in a long time. Wanted to know if it's my phone or just the way TW handles incoming messages.

Doesn't happen on mine.
