Hey Folks,
I have found a annoying bug in my HEROs call application:
Actually I maintain all my contact with google mail contact so my hero sync them. There are many contact which are only company numbers, so I use only the company field not the name field to identify them. Google contacts manages that well, also the phone book application of my hero shows that correctly.
But if I want to use call apps fast dial it will not find the contact. So I have to search all contacts over phone book. Thats okay, but the call app also shows this contact as anonymous in history...
Can someone tell me a good way to submit this bug to htc?
Thanks,
Christian
EDIT: My HERO runs with MoDaCo 2.2 Custom ROM but it also appears in stock rom...
Let's say my wife is calling me with her iPhone.
But i am busy or have no network. So my wife decides to hang uop without a speaking a voice mail.
I will get a notification that i have an unanswered call. However... thic call is always logged to the wrong (same) person.
So I get the green 1 in my Favorite Contacts Widget but with the wrong person ?
Is there anybody who knows what i am talking about ? or even better has a cure ?
I had similar problem, at least I think it is similar, because I did not understand you completly.
When you have a missed call while you are unaviable you normaly recieve a text message from your service operator.
Are you trying to say that, every text message you get from your service operator is displayed as if you have recieved it from one (always the same one) contact in your adress book?
i never knew what the green "1" is, i never linked it with missed calls because for me its completely random. for me anyways.
@ bookworm...
That,s exactly what i mean
Does the contact have something stupid in the phone number field on facebook? If you turn off Facebook contact syncing, sign out of facebook and friend stream, restart, sign back in (This is optional), the problem should be solved.
TheOriginalKi is correct. Exactly same thing happened to me.
One of my friends, lets say "Contact A" added "xxx/xxx-xxx" to facebook phone number field. After I linked Contact A from phone to Contact A facebook account, every service message I recieved from my operator was display as if I recieved it from Contact A. After canceling Phone->Facebook link for Contact A, all service messages were adressed correctly.
So your best option is to ask your friend (the one whose name appears in service messages) to edit his facebook phone field correctly, or simply cancel phone-facebook link for that specific contact.
Hope that this helps you with solving your problem.
Cheers
Well now that you mention it.. This person had something weird in his contact. I deleted it (he had a weird telephone number. it was set to unknown) and now everything is fine...
Great phone this desire....
Love it really !/ Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than WM....
Wish i could alter my signature here at xda .... ( but for some reason i cant)
I would like to do this for free (or as cheap as possible).
When I go to the gym I bring my 10.1 Tab in with me and I watch Netflix while I work out. I hate carrying my phone in there PLUS my tab. Is there any possible way that you guys can think of where I can somehow forward my calls and text messages to my tab to come to me over the gym Wifi????
Would love to hear your thoughts.
There are three relatively popular solutions to your question.
[-] The first is SyncSMS, by d0lph1nK1ng. It syncs text messages, using a Dropbox account (you'll need to sign up for one, but it's free for the amount of space required for something like this). You don't need the phone in close proximity to the tablet, but a network connection is required on both devices. Push notifications are available, although as a 'beta' feature.
[-] The second is TexTab, by howettl. It uses Bluetooth to make the transfers, so no Dropbox-style file hosting service is required, however you need the phone to be in the tablet's Bluetooth range.
[-] The third option, which I use, is Google Voice. I prefer the integration (no relying on phone range, file sharing sites, or polling). I receive voicemail notifications and the ability to listen to them in the same inbox. I love the setup. A lot. Phone/tablet/chrome (on my docked laptop) are all notified within three seconds of each other when a new text is received. Google voice uses push notifications on all devices (incl. Chrome, although not technically a device), which has been awesome on my Tab 10.1 in my experience.
Polling is commonly used when push notifications aren't an available feature. This is when an app repeatedly checks every X amount of seconds/minutes/etc. for new messages, instead of being notified from the cloud/other device. Receiving a normal text on your phone is a push notification. It's pushed to your phone. Facebook checking for new friend requests every hour is polling.
Ferris upon has a new app called Verizon Messages that can allow you to sync text messages between your phone and tablet if they are connected too the same wifi network.

This more than covers the text message part of the equation. Any good ideas how to forward phone calls???

You would need to call forward your mobile phone to GrooveIP. This is backwards from what people normally do though(they forward calls from GV# to their phones). hehe
Wait wait wait
I love the Google voice idea for text messages but I'm assuming he wants to reply to his text messages from his phone carrier. He won't be able to do that with Google voice. He will have to use his Google voice number which is a pain.

Not correct, inbound calls to my Google voice number ring on my wifi tab when I'm signed into grooveIP. I don't forward the carrier assigned cell phone number.

Not if he has Sprint, which it looks like he does.
Google and Sprint have partnered to allow your Sprint mobile number to be your GV number. All texts I send from my 10.1 using GV come from my regular cell phone number. Super slick....

I use groove ip with a Google voice assigned nbr. Used to have the gv nbr forwarded to my phone (droidx). To get the nbr working for both inbound and outbound calls on this tab I had to send the nbr to Google chat. You have to do this in a full browser in your Google account options. Of course you need connection to a Wifi network.

I think people either misunderstood the question (or the answers / solutions just sucked). I am looking for the same things. When I desire, I would like to have my phone in my pocket / backpack etc, and be able to use my tablet as a phone. When somene calls my phone, I'd like it to "ring" my tablet. When some texts me, I'd like to see it on my tablet. Moreover, I'd like to be able to place calls from my tablet (using my phone number). (I know you can use google voice and skype, etc. but I want it to use my phone with my phone number and appear in my call log and my tmobile monthly bill).
1) Is this already possible? (If so, what is the software called.)
2) If this is not already possible, is it possible given the exposed APIs of android?
I use GrooveIP and Google Voice with my Sprint number.. SMS and phone work great on Tab and on my SGS2 Epic 4G Touch..
you should try skype?

It's the perfect solution and good for some smiles also.
I was sitting on the couch using my laptop PC and a call came in on Google voice. It rang on my land line, it rang on my Galaxy Nexus phone, it rang on my Galaxy Tab and it also rang on my laptop via Gmail. All 4 places had a different ring tone. My wife and I just looked at each other and cracked up laughing.

Yes. I do this with Google Voice and Grove IP.
When someone calls my Google Voice number it rings in 6 places: 1) Personal Cell phone, 2) Galaxy Tab, 3) Laptop PC (via Gmail), 4) Home phone land line, 5) My office desk phone, 6) Office cell phone.
The only downside to this is that I people always know they can get me on the phone.
This also presumes that people call your Google Voice number instead of your cell phone number. It takes a while to train people but after a few months everybody will be using the Google Voice number. In fact, I have no idea what the phone number of my office cell phone is. I'd have to look in settings if someone needed to know.
If you're not using Google Voice do it now. It's a little effort but the payback is BIG.
Also, this makes for some very humorous scenarios. For example, I was in San Jose visiting my daughter. We were in a crowd and got separated. She called me using my Google Voice number. It rang on all of the devices listed above but before I could answer on my cell phone my wife picked up the land line at home which was 400 miles away. My daughter was confused, "Mom? How did I get you? I was calling dad." "Just call again and I won't pick up the phone," says my wife. My daughter called again and this time I answered.
Here's a HUGE benefit of Google Voice:
You can put people into groups. Then you can handle each group differently. For example you can make it so those in the "Office coworkers" group never get passed to your cell or home phone after 8pm. I have a group called Spam. When a I find out a number calling is a telemarketer I put that number into the Spam group. When someone in the Spam group calls me it is NEVER sent to any of my phones. It's my own personal "Do Not Call" list. Google Voice is very powerful.
More Google Voice benefits:
- When someone sends a text message you can have it forwarded to all cell phones and tablets and also your gmail account.
- When someone leaves a voicemail message it will be translated into text and then sent via text messaging. It can also be sent to your email. And, by the way, an attached voice file is included. When you play the voicemail back it highlights the text like a karaoke machine. Very cool.
- ALL Of your text messages and all of your voicemail are stored in you Google Voice mail account. You'll never lose a text or voicemail again. You can log into any browser and retrieve them. And, if you get a new phone all the old text messages immediately show up.

How do I set it up so it still rings on both the tab AND the computer? I assumed this would be the default setting but since installing GrooVe IP, calls only get forwarded to my tab and cell phone but not google chat on the computer anymore. I have to log out on my tab for calls to go to my computer. Any ideas on how I can change that?
Cheers!

I have to admit that I have no idea how it rings on my laptop or what setting it takes to make it ring. I do know it's a part of Gmail. I don't think I'd ever answer a call there. It surprised me at first I had to look around to figure out that the ringing was coming from my laptop.
Hi Guys/Gals,
There is actually an app in the market that does just this.... its called tablet talk and connects over Bluetooth or wifi. Its not free but worth every penny. You only need to purchase it once and install on both devices, it will sync your txt messages and allow you to send/receive on your tablet. The best thing about this app is that it will notify you of an incoming call from you phone right on your tablet From your contacts and allow you to mute the call or hang it up.
Go check it out... you will be glad you did.
Cheers
Mark

It is called Table Talk. And you have to install it to your phone and tablet from the Market.
I can't believe you guys don't know this.
i have started using my S4 at work
im a cable technician, when i call customers im blocking my number using #31# before the actual number of the client for obvious reasons- its a big company, anything has to go through their customer service center
the thing is, when i call a client using that prefix, its gone in the call log, so when i need to call him again( which often happen) i need to dial the number again which is very uncomfortable as im calling dozens of customers everyday, my older work phone was a simple J105 sony ericsson , which used to saved the number in the call log just as it was, smartphones for some reason, dont...
is this a setting i can change or some other dialer i should use ?
please? anyone?
Maybe try other dialer and contact apps...
