HD7 Visual Voicemail - Windows Phone 7 General

Are any of you using this on T-MoUSA? If you are, does your HD7 play your voicemails through your handset? Or through the back speaker? Mine ALWAYS plays through the back speaker, regardless of the option selected at the bottom.

Yup I noticed this or is it the voicemails are really loud :S

This drives me NUTS. I was hoping this would go away after upgrading to the final version from the beta, but no dice.

It definitely appears to be a bug as there's a speaker option which we aren't even enabling. The first beta did not do this to me, the final done & RTM did, & now the official release

Be thankful yours works. Most of us T-Mobile US HD7 owners don't have Visual Voicemail working. T-Mobile and MS are clueless on what the problem is. Shows how bad their beta testing is. Many of us have been on T-Mobile Tech support for hours and they don't know where to start to get it working. Was hoping the blogs would start to talk about it to try and get more prioritization by MS to work the problem.

Agreed, When I first updated to the Beta back when it was first released. It worked perfectly. Now on the Official release, I keep getting an error message. It just won't setup. I even had my Voicemail reset. I truly believe it's on T-Mobile's end as it was working before & now it's not.

Well it doesn't actually work if I can't use it lol

Try texting "Activate:dt=6" to number 122 without the quotes.
It should say you have a voicemail and should work. Make sure you have the VVM feature on your account before doing this.

T mobile tech fixed my vvm issue a few days ago I was having the same issues. Obviously someone over there knows what's going on and can fix it..
This was my only real issue with mango. Along with some very minor issues that can be ironed out

When you use it though, does it play through the external speaker as though it's on speakerphone? Or through the receiver as though you're on a call?

Mine plays where I expect it to with and without a headset plugged in. Also switches to and from Speakerphone properly while playing.
Not sure what the issue is Fiya.

I think it has something to do with the beta/RTM builds tbh. You went straight from NoDo... I went through every dev build (legally lol) and I'm having this issue... I'd love to see if the others in this thread who have the issue went through the dev builds...

Same issue here. Had the leaked RTM, VVM has been working ever since, but only plays through the rear speaker. I have no idea how to get this thing to un "bug" itself so it plays like a regular call... Toggle for the speaker does nothing.

Definitely sounds like an RTM issue

Hmmm. Didn't do a darn thing on mine. I'm running an LG Optimus 7. Is this an HTC-specific hack?

I have the same problem on my T-Mobile US HTC HD7. After the text trick, all of my voicemails play through the rear speaker, regardless if it is set to play through speaker or not.
I can also confirm it is not related to upgrading from the RTM. Though I had the second beta and the RTM on my phone at different point in time, I was using NoDo when the official release was pushed.

thanks,it really worked.. AMAZING,.. the tmo reps had no idea how to fix it.

I was having the same issue, was on with T-Mobile 6 times, finally one tech said that it was a network issue on their side. They said it would take a few days. Woke up this morning and it was working. They did remove and reset my VM which triggered the whole fix. Good luck.

Problem with Sirius App and EVO 4G with Froyo?

For all of you that updated to Froyo 2.2(OTA or leaked) and have the Sirius App, might notice a problem with your app. There is a looping problem and skipping problem. You will be listening to the radio and all of a sudden you will hear it start over again, or it will just skip forward. It seems everyone with Froyo, on any device is having this problem.
I just got off the phone with Sirius. Supposedly, they thought they fixed this problem which started with Nexus 1 and Froyo and has now continued on to the EVO 4G. The Sirius Rep said he wasn't sure what they reported, but this is what the Tech support told each caller. They told everyone that called to go to application in settings area. Go to the Sirius App. First, clear data or clear cache(most likely data). Then, uninstall the Sirius App and then reinstall it. See if that fixes the problem. Of, course, by reading the other forums, it didn't fix anything. But, for some odd reason, not many people called back to tell Sirius that their fix didn't work.
So now on to me. First, like everyone else, we all have the looping/repeating issue, with skipping also. Everyone has had this problem since updating to Froyo 2.2. I told tech support this and they have now escalated back the problem. Before I called, I did what was told to do, clear data, uninstall the Sirius App and then reinstall the Sirius APP, and still got the same problem. This is important. Everyone now needs to call Sirius and let them know about the problem. You must first try the clear data and uninstall and reinstall first before you call, because they will ask if you tried this first. The more people that call, the faster it will get fixed, because it will become more of a priority. I also mentioned to the Tech Support for Sirius that I was on the EVO 4G, and we just got Froyo, 2.2 yesterday, and the Droid is getting it today and Droid X and Incredible soon afterwards. They better correct the problem before they get flooded with calls. The Tech guy said for me to go onto the forums and tell everyone that is having this problem to call Sirius.
So, if you are having the looping/skipping problem with the Sirius App since installing Froyo, call Sirius now and ask for tech support.
You are telling me that no one with the EVO 4G with Froyo, and has the Sirius Application installed, is having any of these problems?

If your rooted you can apply the following.
Code:
adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false
Once applied you will have to reboot your phone for it to work.
This probably cause some adverse affect on YouTube streaming..

Epic <-> PC Video Calling?

What's the best way to go about doing video calling on the Epic with a PC? I don't think Qik can do it, from what I understand Fring used to support Skype, but Skype has since blocked them. What's the next best?
Qik In Touch is what its called. This is why the whole front camera movement has taken place. I run it on my MAC and Windows via boot camp. Google it, it will take you to their website. Or click on the website link for them in the market.
Another thing, I have an Evo, I will forwarn you, the epic's screen is what makes it crisp but the quality is not all that different. Enjoy...

I downloaded Qik In Touch - it appears to me that it will let someone view your videos live, but not interact with you like a video call, correct?
i have the epic 4g and cannot get any video calls to connect. got a friend who also has an epic 4g and we cnanot seem to connect to each other. ideas?

If the the both of yall have epic's use fring from the market. It should work great.
I tested fring from my evo to another evo and to a pc via the fing app. I assume my Epic will fare as well.
Worked well, but had the delay you should expect.

What did you use to video call a pc from your evo? I hear skype has blocked fring. Is there another program that accepts fring video calls on a pc?
Sorry for the bit of thread necro, but does anyone know how to go about this? I was excited about the video chat, but no one I know uses an iPhone 4, Epic, or Evo, and I was expecting to be able to talk to PCs with webcams.
i found 2 versions, qik video and qik for HTC evo 4g, 2 different apps, but i didnt found wik in touch.
i was really hoping to do video chat with a pc, hopefully skype will get this thing going ASAP.
I been using Movicha... but is not real good... and I think is a issue with the Epic... only works good with the Evo.. I think the Evo had more develoment interest on developers than the Epic.. so I thinking in retuning my Epic for a Evo..

As far as I know, the first Android phone with a front camera was the Evo (correct me if I'm wrong), which was released a solid three months ago. If it was just a matter of there being existing but currently incompatible software, it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal, but as far as I can tell there's just nothing to fill this need. On top of that, this is all assuming that it should be left up to third party developers, when I think this should have been available in the first place (at the very least, given us a Windows or Flash chat client for Qik).
i can get fring msging and voice calling to work but it says video is not supported when i try with aim or gtalk
yahoo video messenger works. Kinda sucks though. Hopefully they'll improve it. But If you really need phone <-> pc then this is it.
for video from phone <-> phone, I recommend Tango or Fring. I like Tango the most because its super simple and the video seems a bit better. Tango occasionally has an issue with the mic, usually toggling the mic of and on again will get it working.

And that is because it does not exist or it is not out yet, correct me if i am wrong.
Yahoo just announced the other day that an official messenger app with video for Android is coming out soon, so watch out for that.
Plus Skype is going to release a Galaxy S compatible version of Skype soon as well (other Android phones work with Skype right now). :-(
So for now, it's only phone to phone (via Tango, not my favourite but it works) for us Epic users. I just completed a Tango test call from my Epic to a friend's iPhone 4.

T-Moble Video Chat by Qik

I didn't see a thread about this, so just wanted to point out that there is now a Qik Video Chat app unique to T-Mobile, presumably for the MyTouch 4G. I did try it on my G2 though, and I can confirm that at least the live streaming works.
I don't have anyone to video chat with, but I have been hearing from other comments that video chats do work on the G2 as well, albeit without the front facing camera.
But for me, I think the live streaming is what is the cool thing here. Glad it works!
Check out Tango. It works and has one for iphone users too.

I put this on my wife's and my G2's and when you try to place a call between them, the one initiating the call appears to work, and when you click answer with the other, it kicks you out and back to whatever screen you were on before. but on the initiating phone it still looks like you are connected, the call timer is running, you see can see what you are 'broadcasting' to the other phone in the top left, but there is no voice, or video or real connection between the phones. i tried it vv both ways, my phone to hers and hers to mine.
it doesnt work.
It does work. I got to video chat with my cousin with a evo4. it worked pretty good just some audio lag but its better then i expected

did you try to mimic what jskash said? try placing the call on different phones and see how it works.
how does broadcast to web work? is it to another phone or is it leterally a website people can access when you are connected and broadcasting?
I can back up that I've tried it also with a friend in KC and it does work. It was awesome because we don't get to see eachother often and my kids have never been to her house. She walked all around the house and even showed off the dogs. I got a call and was momentarily paused until I rejected it but it immediately started back up and we continued on for about 20 minutes. The only thing was the sound on my end was a little low, I could hear her but it was a stretch if background noise cameinto play. But yeah, it does work, at least from a G2 to an evo and both ways because first she called me but I had to leave a noisey room and plug in my phone to charge, then I called her and it worked also.

[Q] What is the best video chat app for Evo?

What is the best video chat app for Evo?
My vote goes for firing. My brother lives in Mesa Az. And I've had good luck using this program
Tango, your always signed in and doesn't waste battery at all, fring you have to be signed in if not no video call, qik is annoying for people receiving calls because half don't know you have to press the Mic button to speak and its not.cross platform.
Tapped on XDA Premium
Tango, by far. Like the guy above me said, takes no battery life, cross-platform, always signed in, and is all-around kick-ass. Plus, you don't have to make an extra account, AND it can work with your Google Voice number.
Fring? Eats your battery alive, has bugs every other day, looks like a toddler threw up on a screen, and requires you sign in every ten minutes.
Qik? Jesus Christ, it's worse than Fring...
Even though the general consensus is Yahoo sucks for most things, their messenger client on the phone has worked VERY well for me. (besides being a HUGE apk)
Phone to phone video over 3G worked perfect for me, (Well, roughly 2 months ago before Sprints network went to shambles) along with phone to computer.
The best part is a lot of people still have some old lame Yahoo account from 10 years ago that still works. Bonus not having to sign up for any BS
by far i would say tango
Tango Hands Down!
Best luck with Tango and Yahoo Messenger. Fring is horrible. And Qik works on and off

Yes you got the app when it was first being developed. The devs where quick to listen to the people and resolve the problem. I have had it on my phone for a month now and its been flawless and battery consumption has been next to none, except for when I use the app then of course it uses some battery

Cool.....I'll try it again. I also tried it when it first came out and it was a battery killer and resource hogger. I've sworn by Fring since then.
The best videochat i have found, dont laugh, is to use my Hotspot and use my IPOD touch and facetime. For some reason i get better video and voice then anything i can find on the EVO. But of course, the other person also needs Apple's Facetime, as my girlfriend does.
We tried Oovoo and its not bad, video is slow and audio always seemed to get out of sync and the annoying bug of it never leaving the notification bar.

Mine did that but eventually it started working after like an hour. It did this on both 5.0 updates. You can try turning off google now and then back on. If that doesn't work, just keep asking it questions, I did this on wear messenger, text replies, and Google now. And it eventually worked.
