VIP Call List?
First, thanks OP for posting this. Seems to work great. Long pressing on a contact brings up options which includes "add to VIP list". When I select it a pop-up says that the contact has been added to the VIP call list. What does this actually do? I didn't notice anything different after adding a few people to it.
you need my favs on your T-Mobile account. they dont offer it anymore ...

Thank you for replying. I have MyFaves on my account. I just never used a MyFaves app. before and I never payed attention to MyFaves because I have an unlimited minutes plan.
If you still have a my faves account.. THEN you need need to get a google voice number.. and put that as one of your faves.. and you will never use your minutes up..
Not true, the new google voice app sets up a new number for each person you call or text.

It was posted sometime back that tmobile has already address that issue and thus fixed it... no more free minutes.
I have myfaves and google voice... I have been trying to do that but the tmobile site will not allow me to edit my myfaves anymore.. need to call them and have them change/edit myfaves over the phone.

This is not the myfaves app we all know.. its just an app that puts contacts you choose together for easy access.. it shares same name as myfaves that you have 5 ppl you can call for free. I extracted the real myfaves apk but will not work on my G2 even though I do have a myfaves account.

You should still be able to get the MyFaves unlimited minutes to contacts through google voice but without using the Voice app. You have to actually call your google voice number and then use the menu to place a call (a pain but should still work).

That's weird because I just Edited my MyFaves on their website last night. I took my Google voice number off and added a different one (on unlimited minutes plan).

I got this last night as I was expecting to only be able to add the five numbers I already had chosen and could clearly add more.
So by any chance does anyone know what the VIP call list feature is or does?
When I looked at the rom I extracted both apks.. one read faves.apk (which is the same one posted here on this thread but has been around the forum for few weeks now) and another apk titled myfaves.apk I tried both and only one worked wich was the faves.apk, the myfaves.apk didn't work and said something about network issue.

so... this is not the myfaves app? ok...cuz i really dont see a need for that app.
Faves is what? like a secondary contacts list of just people you call most/ choose whos on list?

I usually sign in and out of google voice on a daily basis. It used to offer a "Skip" button when I would get to where it asks for the voicemail setup. Not seeing that option any longer. It's not a big deal or anything.. just requires me to go into settings and switch my voicemail options back over to my carrier.
Haven't found a way to remove frequently called or contacted from the phone or people app. Kinda sux seeing my ex's info right there every single time. Temps me to text or call. And yes drunk texts apply here so it'd b nice to be able to remove these on demand lol

Oh sorry. I misunderstood you. You could try clearing data in the contacts app. Not contact storage.

Hold down on contacted and then hit the 3 dot thing and tap remove from log. To remove favorites you gotta log in and click on contact and then find the find the setting to remove starred contacts but it didnt update on phone. I dont know how to proceed with that part.

Clearing data in contacts storage works on mine, and it must on yours as well.
Only thing I can think of if that doesn't work, is if you store your contacts on phone or sim. But can't understand why you would do that.

Sadly that clears even the call log. I want to clear the frequently called list or some specific numbers from that list but maintain my history.
I don't mind the frequently called list to be hidden since I can manually clear the history. Frequently called list however does not allow deleting some numbers.

This really is annoying.
you could just install exdialer from the market. you can delete individually calls from call history (incoming/outgoing/missed). and you get T9 dialing with it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff missing from the stock dialer.
doesn't consume much resources, very fast, and you can have it look almost exactly like stock dialer with its ICS theme.
If you want to have the same stock dialer icon you can use desktop visualizer (free) and link it to the stock dialer icon.
Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

Google it my man, found mine within 20 seconds of reading this thread... even came with a QR Barcode, used Google Goggles and didn't even have to mess with the SD card
To save a few bucks I use Google Voice exclusively. One thing that I hate about GV is that the ui is lacking and the text messages are treated like emails not like text message in the sense that I can have 20 conversation with my Mom or Girlfriend as opposed to the stock messaging app where they are all together. Another annoyance was that I couldnt get the GV notification/notification on lock screens. This app basically uses your stock messaging app to send GV messages. You still cant send mms. You can choose to send either native message or Google Voice. This is a trial version. The developer says this May not work for all roms. Oh yeah you have to be rooted.

GTalk & GVoice aren't designed to "send" media (say a picture) in the same way MMS goes about it.
You could always just use your GMail app and tap labels, to switch to the chats/gv label & read your sexy messages to your mom.....errrrrrr my bad, girlfriend I meant to say.
I save my contacts number. Then I text them Through Gvoice and when they reply I get their Gvoice number and I just save and edit that into their contacts. And I just text them thru the stock messaging app and receive messages there like normal.

I pay about 60 for unlimited data and 500 minutes plus free wifi calling, nights and weekends. I got tired of having only 100 minutes paying for. 10/minutes.

After using this ap for a month I can say this fails. At first it was too good to be true, then people started not getting my text, I wasn't receiving theirs, I would get duplicates randomly, sometimes my whole GV inbox would start crouding my text message inbox.

Initially it cost me $20 to port my cell number to GV. Unfortunately, when I switched from Sprint to TMO, I could no longer use my cell number as my GV number.
Although since I have a 808 area code and now live in 843 area code, my new GV number is 843 area code.
I can only find the pay visual voicemail app. Sprint had an app where the voicemail would be sent to your phone and you could listen to the sound file without calling your voicemail. Does AT&T not have anything like that?
Before anyone says it, I don't want to use Google Voice since I want that to be a separate phone number.

Doh!!!!
I have used this AT&T Visual Voicemail App since the Original Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Before opening it for the first time you need to call Customer Service and have them completely reset your voicemail.
Once they reset your voicemail open your AT&T VVM App and go through the steps.
It works for me every time.
Good luck
Sorry guys. When I said free, I meant completely free. No app cost, no monthly cost (don't want to pay for visual voicemail).
To those that suggested Google Voice, did you even read my original post? I want to keep my Google number separate from my regular number. Am I missing something here as to why people suggested it despite my OP?
Anyway like I was saying, Sprint provided a free voicemail app that would allow you to listen to your voicemails without calling it up. It would send the voicemail to the app whenever you got one.
