TEAM,
I have been looking for answering machine for my HTC, Imate unfortunately I never come across this. I any one in the forum or developer of software for mobile can develop this or is it not possible. We have many software in market and many developer but I don't see why is not been develop.
Looking forward your comments and wishing every one in this forum
Happy New Year and All The best
It's called voice mail and it comes with pretty much every phone plan on earth. That's why there's no development for such a product - there is no need for it.

answering machine isnt like voicemail, with answering machine you could listen to the caller leaving a message, just as you would on a home answering machine, then pick up if you wanted, I had that option in my old sprint flip phone sanyo 4500.

Yeah and with every phone plan on earth, it is very restricted unless you are willing to pay a fortune to the provider.

Restricted how? I have AT&T and VM is included for free. I can check it from anywhere very easily. It does exactly what I want it to do.
with htc there seem to be a pretty steap deviding between pda and phone when it comes to speakers
do a search for requests for recording conversations
do a search for answering machine
do a search for getting the "phone" speaker to work with skype and other VOIP
it seem to be a hardware design issue

Canada for instance, don't know about other countries, you either pay $7-10 for three VMs or pay 15 or more for a few more, so no it is not always included in the plan.
here voice mail is included in all subscriptions i believe
never heard of anybody having to pay extre for it

Unlike other countries where little competion exists but carriers are intent on providing the maximum services, Canadian providers are exceptionally greedy. They've got the cash cow all to themselves and milking every last drop out of it. Hopefully this will change soon...

Unfortunately not all countries are built the same (mind you prices have gone down - but still not included), all providers in Canada are about the same, see below:

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here it is anyway. My brother has gmail and so do I. He has Motorola Droid whereas I have x10. In gmail he has option to make phone calls and I don't. Not sure why? Does it has something to do with the phones we are using or something else?
thanks
Bikram

The update of 2.1 will be here in our life time!!
I am gussing it's Google Voice.
No, its gmail phone call not google voice.
It works for me (in Canada), try going to this link and installing the voice plugin, then see if you can do it...
http://www.google.com/chat/voice/
I don't understand why this works in Canada, while Google Voice doesn't...
Edit:
I tried it in the morning on the office computer and after installing it didn't come up. I just did it and it worked at home's computer.
I thought you meant at first that you have it on your phone..
You are probably referring to this: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/08/25/MNGI1F37PS.DTL
Google announced yesterday that people can now make phone calls from within Gmail (not Google Talk). I think this only works in USA and Canada, and maybe also a 2.1/2.2 feature.

I called my cellphone from Gmail on my laptop this morning. I'm in Ottawa, so either Canada's been annexed by the U.S without anyone knowing D) , or it works for Canadian clients.
No idea how to get it to work on my X10 though. The link posted by chris_knows seems to download a Windows client plugin (or at least it does in xScope Browser), not something that can be installed onto Android.

It works for me too...but when I try calling myself, it gives me a California area code, so I think I'm just gonna stick to calling land lines haha.
But for the X10, my understanding is that it can only be done through Google Voice, which is only available in the U.S.
Works in Canada from the desktop same as Skype does. This is not Google Voice.
Since the Google Voice app is available in the Canadian app market though (don't know why) you could try going to the Google Voice webpage and creating an account if you use a VPN with a US server. That's how I got my Sipgate account.

Again, all the articles state it's only available in the US, but I (and others) have used it here in Canada (though as chris_knows states, it gives a US phone number as your source number).
Anyone know if users in the US have any way to make such calls via their Android phone, or is it purely desktop-based at the moment?
Still waiting for Google Voice in Canada... hopes this brings it soon.
I tried from the same computer, but my account didn't work whereas my brothers account works. Still didn't get why its not working

Manage to call my x10 from my laptop gmail account in Singapore. Wonders if there is anyway to call from the x10.
Looks like to call from android phone, you need to use google voice application. Too bad google voice not available in Singapore yet.
I'm using GV on the X10 now from Canada. Bit of a work around to set it up but it's working great.

Lookout. It's a Anti-Virus app that has a device locator in it. Download to their device, create a joint log in and remember the user name and password. Then go go to lookout's website log in and look away.
you can also down load prey. you can even remotely control the tab via the website
Nothing wrong with google latitude. It's built into your tablet and works well.

Is their TF using just WiFi?
Google Latitude works great. That's how I stalk my friends. And if they don't have GPS' in their devices, or you don't link it through bluetooth to their GPS, you won't get a very accurate location. Your best bet is to tell the HLS that you saw one buying a large amount of fertilizer.

He would probably use an android phone. I would would my TF. I hate to say this on this forum but he traded his TF for an ipad.
Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

D'oh. I missed it, I went straight down to the pictures. Either that or the page didn't load completely the first time. Either way, thank you!
That's not a bad price point at all... maybe a mini server or media player...
Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.
Is it ok to say that it looks kinda...ugly?
Or is it just me?

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/
You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?
I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.

I just picked up a Verizon Wear24 for cheap. I'm a Project Fi user and would like to get rid of the verizon crap on the watch and link it more completely to my phone. I'm new to Android Wear but not to android. Is there a way to unlock AW and flash a more stock ROM?

The SIM actually comes out in this if you take it apart enough. You can replace with any SIM of your choosing. The real problem is that the phone is limited on bands as it is just LTE band 13. Let's say you succeeded in adding bands, you would still have an issue entering APN settings as this menu is restricted.
Without root you cannot add any bands. i did this with my tmobile lg g3 back in the day. while complicated it did work.
Has anyone rooted this watch?
Adding bands to qualcomm you must patch rmt-storage or any modifications to the bands will revert
then you have to enable APN menu as adding new APN is disabled on this firmware.
Since this watch was available at $80, a lot of people jump in to get one. Hopefully with time we get more developers to be involve. I'm looking to replace the bands. As of now I don't care about LATE. But I wish we can enable NFC for Android pay

Same here, working android pay would be great!
Would be nice to have separate forum for this model
Ordered mine for $80 and received it today. It would be nice to see the developers work some magic on this thing. Don't like the fact its stuck on Verizon and all the Verizon bloat on it. I can live without LTE but would love to see the Verizon SMS app and stuff go.

For now you can just disable the Message+ app in System apps. Also disable the cellular radio.
Interesting approach, wonder if you can still send and receive texts with Message+ disabled?

Bt is phone audio. I'll do a reset see if that helps. Hope so because it is a nice watch. Maybe we will get stock wear it soon and have the full potential unlocked.
Tried the reset but no change. Everything seems to work except the mic. Google assist also does not work for texting with ok google. Watch is solid tho.
