hey guys,
Apparently, since all of us stock Telus Desire owners are on 2.1, there is a problem with HTC Mail connecting to Hotmail through exchange (m.hotmail.com). Not sure if Telus is planning on fixing this when 2.2 is out (if ever, tabernac).. But what have some of you guys done to get this to work in the interm?
Some people were able to switch to Android mail which apprently works.. How do you get that exactly? I'm new to Android and still finding my way around..
Other people have tried third party software like K-9 and what not, apparently they work too.
Any feedback would be great!
anyone? this is really stressing me out..
I have my gmail account pick up my hotmail emails and use the gmail app (which uses IMAP).
otherwise, is there a problem with using the mail app and pop3 rather than exchange?
I would tell you exactly how I set it up, but I lost the friggen thing a week ago. New one on its way *thanks insurance*
with pop3, u wont be able to see the other folders or synch your emails to your mobile (ie, if u delete an email on mobile, it wont in your inbox..)
Use gmail its pretty good but sometimes 3rd party apps are good too.

It doesnt really help when someone says they want to use hotmail then the solution you're proposing is to use gmail.. :\
I'm not telling use gmail, I said it was good but if you really wanna use Hotmail just get a 3rd party app.

Install IMPROVED EMAIL from the Market. Works brilliantly.

Cant find improved email in the market.. is it because I'm still running 2.1 and that is a 2.2 app?
I thought 2.2 resolves the hotmail issue anyways without having to make any changes?

that would be awesome.
British english is pretty great *shrugs*
What is strange is that if you don't have one installed, the voice is perfect, but it's limited, and miles are km, etc. I was surprised it worked without installing voice synthesis, but it did.

Loquendo TTS Susan, Is about as good as you can get right now. It's availble on the market, but it does cost.
i think she's foxy
There was an eSpeak voice that was pretty amazing, but even set to American English it would use metric units.
Somehow I've buggered it up though, and can't seem to get it back. Now for eSpeak all I have is this horrid robot voice.

I automatically tune out the voices of women when they speak, especially when giving directions, so its difficult having only a woman to choose from with android.

I really like svox. The main app is free and the voices are a couple bucks each. You can get US/UK/(maybe) Australian English, male and female. It's on the market. Works well for navigation and other stuff, like reading your email aloud in LauncherPro.
How did u guys get the voice to talk in nav. Mine won't talk just shows directions
Is there a way to receive texts and respond to them on my N7 without using a new number? I think there may be some way to do it with Google Voice, but I'm not entirely sure. Help would be greatly appreciated, I don't like this new number thing.
Why don't you try tablet talk it pairs right up with your cell phone via Bluetooth or wifi. The best part is that you don't have to get a new number either.

Google Voice works fine (as long as you have a GV number).
I'll check out tablet talk.
I could use Google Voice, but I don't want to have to give my Google Voice number out to everyone instead of the number everyone already has.
Thanks guys, I'll post back once I've tried this stuff.
EDIT: Tablet talk is great. Everyone that wants to text/call from their tablet should get this (granted that they don't use GV already).
Is there any free app that does what Tablet Talk does?

theres also DeskSMS from Koush that sends your texts to Google Talk. Doesnt use the extra battery that bluetooth would use

I probably will but I'm trying to save as much as I can for stuff that I can't otherwise get for free.
Tablet talk is amazing
SyncSMS has been my choice for the last year or so, but i'm trying DeskSMS out.
You can also use the Facebook messenger app or Google+ messenger. Works just like texting.

DeskSMS is good, but don't like having an extra app open to look at my SMS...works well on my laptops, easy to use etc
MySMS was hit or miss, UI is laggy and sometimes SMS wouldn't sync right away.
SyncSMS worked well when I tried the beta, but I didn't get around to purchasing the full version since I didn't use it a lot.
Going to check out TabletTalk later today, since I have been using my I/O N7 a lot lately

You simply cannot go wrong with Tablet Talk, it is the go-to app for everyone looking for that "text/talk from tablet" functionality.
going with tablet talk myself. its been amazing so far!
With the release of Google Hangouts yesterday and the talk of it eventually becoming an SMS app as well, does this mean that Google Hangouts basically is Google Babel lol? Thanks!

It's not uncommon for google products to have different names when in the initial design phase. I wouldn't be surprised if Hangouts incorporated all of the leaked features of Babel. Hangouts is already a relatively-established product and Google has had issues in recent history of introducing new products (look at Buzz, Wave, and the first 6 months of G+).
On a side note, when I mentioned the name Babel to my wife, she said "They named it after the city that God smote for their arrogance? That's bold of Google." I laughed.
I would assume so. I'm using the Google Hangouts app right now and so for, it seems like Google Babel and all of its incorporated features that was mentioned.

Hmmmm interesting. Thanks guys.
Now on other note... what exactly is Google Hangouts? I never used GTalk so I don't really know the point of it lol. Is it basically like kik or like an instant messenger? Thanks.

Think of it as a whatsapp for Google. Anything Google puts out is useful in some way some how.

Thanks for the info. It looks like an issue with ICS on ION. Maybe the update will fix it.

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.
I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.
I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.
