[Q] Visual Voicemail / Orange UK - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an HTC Desire HD on the Orange UK network. I notice that in the "running services" I have the following:
Code:
Visual Voicemail
Process: com.orange.vvm
ProcessService
Started by application: touch to stop
This looks to start automatically with the device (judging by the up time) and would indicate a visual voicemail service being available. Orange specific presumably?
However, when I have a message left I just get the normal notification, clicking on which just dials the normal voicemail service.
Is there a visual voicemail service available on the Desire HD from Orange? If so, I have do I use/activate it? If not, then what on earth is this service that is running?
Thanks,
Simon

I have spent a lot of time googling the same thing and this is the only reference to it I can find on the internet. Weird. Did you ever find out what it is for?

Nope. Still not a clue. Did consider going into an Orange shop to ask. But TBH they will probably have even less of a clue.

I don't mind Orange but the extra stuff should be removable I think. Next time I'm going to Carphone Warehouse and getting something standard.
Tonight I tried to get a goldcard working so I could change to the standard build but no joy...

Here in France, I do have access to the visual voicemail option with Orange, however I have to download Orange's visual voicemail app on the market, this one :
https://
market.
android.
com/details?id=com.orange.vvm&feature=search_result

Oh this is great. Not only do Orange load our phones with crap. But they load it with crap that has no relevance to the country of purchase/operation. We have this service running by default and we can't stop it from starting up and it is not even usable in the UK.

ok, i have have the next step, but it just leaves me in an even more frustrating situation! might work for some of you though...
when on homescreen, press the search capacitive-hardware button, and start typing Visual Voicemail. it finds this hidden app, and u can click it, taking you to this screen...

it then proceeds to a screen asking you to click next to set up the service/app, but when I do this, it just sits there loading for about 15 seconds, like this....
then the please wait prompt disappears, leaving me on the "press next to setup", in an endless cycle of nothingness...
let me know if it works for any of you's, and if you can help my issue?
thanx

Problems/bugs

Well I'm also the happy owner of the TP2... But if have some issues/bugs that maybe some of you have a solution for.
When I restart my phone, sometimes manila doesn't start at all.
So I start it up manually, but then it seems that parts are not working. Like quantity notifications of the messages...
Also the device sometimes gives a message that it cannot connect to the gprs, while I have a network connection and other phones have no problem with the same provider. And then I notice that the H sign is very weird and there's no info about it in the manual.
Here you can see an image, the red arrow points to the weird symbol.

You can only modify the total sound volume and not ring or phone volume. That's not handy because my sms sound is too low.
Is there a tweak to change the soft touch buttons? Like Phone - Camera buttons to change to contact - sms or something else...
Greetzzzzz
pfffffffffffff
This is really ennoying... My battery was low and phone shutted down.
So I connection the power supply, started the phone and yeah AGAIN... stupid Manila doesn't start. No feature started.. I feel like throwing it away now.
Hope someone has a solution to it?
One issue solved...
Well I uninstalled SPB gprs monitor and now manila starts up fine.
I also set a delayed startup for S2U2 for about 20s, so that manila starts up first.
these have nothing to do with htc touch pro2 itself dude!
it's about the rom you installed in it,so pls return to your technician to get a good rom!
it's like you have super good pc,but the windows xp you installed is crap,then your pc will always get this problem and that......
FYI: rom means: OS(wm 6.5 for example)+Radio(GSM etc)+Extrom(touchflo 3d etc)
hello everyboby,
For the strange color of the "H" icon, it's mean you don't receive grps correctly in the place you are.Try to move to see a change.
For your problem of the TF3D's starting, i have the same problem when S2U2 was installed, see in the forum you can find a special version modified for TP2.
Hope, it can help you.
PS: excuses my english, i'm french
PS: nokiadashi, please change your font size and color. And try to answer with a different explication that's a problem with ROM like the differents reply that you post
bye to all

Tilt2: Empty notification, won't go away

Stock Tilt2. Every now and then there will be a bubble notification on the top of the screen, and when I tap on it the Notifications screen that comes up shows (underneath Medianet and battery) simply an exclamation point inside a circle, with no accompanying text. Clicking on it does nothing, and Dismiss All doesn't remove it. I have to soft reset to get rid of it.
Any ideas? (Other than flashing a new ROM! I'm actually perfectly happy with the stock ROM.)
This problem is happening on two separate Tilt2s, both with stock AT&T ROM; any ideas? Screenshot attached.

They're multiplying:
$40 to whomever can figure out what is causing this.
Give this a try ..
You should find a use for them, let them breed and then corner the market and sell them.
WarlockW's post should help you out.
If that cab does not fix it, are you running ActiveSync with Exchange?
I had a similar issue with my old phone. It was a problem with my account on the exchange server. I had to have my profile recreated.
No I dont use exchange. I have read around here others having the issue as well though.
I've only experienced with issue with cooked roms. The stock Verizon 6.1 rom never displayed that issue. Unfortunately, I've yet to find the cause.
Thanks for the help with this. I actually am using Exchange. I was using 2007 and updated to 2010 since posting (which involved rebuilding my mailbox), and haven't had the problem since. So perhaps it was that, but I'll post again shortly with an update after I've had some time using it.

Dagordon,
I think its a defect on some of the phones they rolled out. I called HTC support, and they did not have a solution. Good thing for me is that the phone was less than 30 days old. The guy at the dealership took it back with no questions asked when I showed it to him.
I would think that your only option is what you mentioned above (flashing it with stock ROM).
Damn. The problem persists, even with a new Exchange setup. And the fixunreadcount program doesn't fix it -- it'll run successfully but the empty notification will remain.
So rfrancoi, you're saying that this problem only happens on some Touch Pro 2/Tilt2s, as in a different one might not have the problem?

Since when was Google Wallet not supported on rooted devices?

Welcome to the forums! Have a look around, try out the search button.
As WiredPirate mentioned, this has been discussed a few times.
The good news is that it's more of a "not officially condoned" as opposed to a "not going to work" type of support. Continue to use Wallet to your heart's content, just understand that there are certain risks on a rooted device - and Google won't be responsible if you run into problems.
Yea I can confirm that it still works. I only saw that message once... then never again. It just means that if you run a Rooted rom, you won't get support if something goes wrong or your money becomes missing.

This is not true. I spoke with Google CS about this and the man I spoke with assured me that the message meant if the app doesnt function in the way it should, ie. not transfering data via NFC or pressing a button doesnt work, that Google is not responsible to help you troubleshoot it. Not that you cannot cancel your card or retrieve your funds if you loose your phone. The phrase he used repetitively was "Your money is still your money", if for some reason your cash 'disappears' just call and they will straighten it out. But if the app is not transmitting or if it is spazzing out, do not expect them to help you troubleshoot it and get it working properly again, which I imagine they would initially try to do anyways or atleast give you suggestions on things to try but would eventually say "we are not responsible" if you are taking up too much of their time.
I hadn't planned on replying to this question since it has been covered several times but I had to clear up the misinformation.
Today was just the first time I ever noticed this warning in the app like that. I've been rooted forever, but I thought it might have been due to a recent update (and no topics showed up in the little "topic title search" thing).
Been like this for weeks. Its effectively a "user beware" notice.

Galaxy Nexus Voice Recognition changed?

Has anyone else had the talk-to-text voice recognition features change on their phone without them doing anything?
The voice recognition used to look like the first screen shot below when used in any application. After speaking it would recognize that you stopped talking and then give you 3 options to choose from for what it thought you might have said.

This second screen shot shows what the talk-to-text looks like now. It just appears at the bottom of the apps its called in. However, it also doesn't recognize that you've stopped talking and it no longer gives the suggestions.
Has anyone else had this issue with their phone? Anyone know how to fix it or change it back to the way that it was when it actually worked?
I certainly hope it's not the new way it's going to be because it blows pretty hard.

Did you just upgrade from ICS to Jelly Bean? I never used speech-to-text in ICS, and the speech-to-text popup in JB has always looked like the second version for me. In Jelly Bean, it will still sense when you have stopped talking, there is just a longer delay. You can also tell it that you have stopped by tapping the microphone symbol again. If it recognized your words incorrectly, you can tap the incorrect words if they are underlined. Alternate words will be displayed.

[App Proposal] What do you think? -On the Edge of the World-

So, hello everyone it's been a while.
For those who wonder what the heck is this guy,
I made this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/themes-apps/edge-navigation-bar-button-t2950486
Anyhow, let's get to the point.
I've been around making this app... called 'On the Edge of the World', or 'the Edge of the World', or 'World Edge' to shorten a lot.
For now, it's quite simple. It basically works in three steps.
1.When loaded,(that is user swipes edge panels and World Edge shows up), it checks gps location.
2.Then it retrieves google maps image from online and shows the image on the edge panel
3.Also, it writes down the address of current location.
I have fooled my phone so that it thinks that I am at the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.
See the image below of the prototype I have worked on.

GPS locations are not re-called automatically after once it's loaded due to battery issue.
You can refresh your GPS location manually by clicking that Compass icon below, though.
(Yes, it's the icon from Safari. Sorry Jobs, I have always been shameless about stealing great icons.)
So that's basically it, at least for now.
What do you think? Too gimmicky?
What kind of functionality does this app need to become a killer-app?
Let me know.
Reserved just in case
Good work again. And what about battery use?
Possibly a GPS navigation system using just the edge with voice prompts. It can display an arrow when you need to turn(flashing arrow for a hundred meters or so) and have the voice telling you where to go. Make sure it has downloadable maps so it doesn't cost using wireless internet.
Good enough idea for you?

Similarly to the Google Maps micro on Wear? I could get down with that!
Love the idea, can't wait to see it in action!
