Hi all,
I've got a few quick questions that I was not able to find the direct answer to in other threads.
1) I'm using an unlocked international HOX on AT&T. I'm on firmware version 1.5 and am unable to get the phone to update. Do I have to do something out of the norm for the phone to see an update?
2) I saw the answer the other thread about Google Wallet being disabled in the States. Is there an APK or something I can load that will allow google wallet to work?
I'm coming from an Iphone 4S and this phone rocks!
Thanks for the help guys!

1. No, updates are pushed out in batches so your batch must not have received it yet.
2. If you have Google Wallet it will work just fine, it does on the Nexus.

As stated in the other threads, I'm able to download Google Wallet but it says that it is not available in my region (SE United States). I'm wondering why the Nexus and other phones are able to use Wallet on AT&T but the international/unlocked version of the One X isen't.. Strange..
In regards to the update, has anyone in the US been able to upgrade past 1.5?
Thanks all!

Yes. Do a Google search as that's how people got it working on the VZW GN early on. A word of caution. Using the hack leaves all of your GW data open to any apps you have running on your phone. I want GW but, IMHO, it's not worth the risk.
just tried to download. installs, but won't open - not yet certified on device/carrier. i'm on at&t prepaid. wonder if anything will change once at&t lte is widely sold? not a biggie for me personally, but something to think about when it comes down to deciding on which version of the one x to purchase.

i am too much of a noob at this to have truly useful info. i'm in hawaii. i bought a micro-sim off amazon and signed up for the minimal $2/day when used unlimited talk/text plan plus a small data package, because i don't talk/text very much and i'm usually at home, where i have my own wi-fi set up. so having at&t is a fallback for when i'm out and about. that being said, phone calls are clear. checking email and, for example, pulse news service via at&t has been excellent. the one x is notably faster than my acer tablet. haven't tried mms, but i think it should work pretty well; email with a downloaded file that had been pdf'd whizzed through to my laptop, as did a screen cut of photos using dolphin, though that was off home wi-fi. don't see why at&t wouldn't work as well. what i'm waiting for now is to find out if i can get a good bluetooth headset to work (voice commands and all). if so, i may move to another plan so i can use the phone more extensively and downgrade my landline service to the absolute minimum.
All right. Sent a couple of photos via mms from my net10 phone to the one x w/ home wi-fi off. Net10 is running off Sprint in Hawaii. No problemo. Everything came through fine - and quickly.
Looks to me like the big issue for some of the non-techies like me who aren't about to fumble with rooting might be accessing U.S. only apps. Hoping that won't apply to bluetooth headset usability too.

Thanks for the heads up. I got my One X directly from a contact at HTC and it has been in a closet for a while I think... I have firmware 1.15.401.1. Should I include a screenshot or am I on some beta ish? It still won't let me manually update.

i updated the other thread re non-availability of certain apps on non-us htc one x, but for those on at&t like me with unrooted phones, i will add the info here as well. i managed to download google voice on my one x (at&t prepaid) by using dolphin hd browser to google search "google voice." when the results page came up, i clicked the link that took me to the play store and downloaded. the app opened and seems to be working fine. i was unable to download it by going to the play store directly, so the browser may add some kind of filter which makes this possible?
i can't be totally sure that all google voice options will work, because i chose to install the "lite" version - i only wanted my voicemail kicked back to my phone to avoid having to use the phone to check voicemail. (i'm on the $2/day unlimited text/talk plan and if i have to use the phone only to check a random voicemail, i'm throwing my money away.) called my one x from my landline phone and a still-in-use net10 phone and left messages. seems to work. i used my gmail account as the voicemail recipient. no google phone number.
additional info for anyone planning to use a sophisticated bluetooth headset like blueant q2. i purchased one that was at&t branded. does not function completely. the most critical features - voice commands, voice dialing - are not supported in ics, so while the blueant will pair and one could presumably answer an incoming call, the other key features are unavailable. this appears to be a function of ics and not of at&t, though i assume at&t could tweak its own branded htc one x's to overcome that? i have a jawbone era coming in maybe next week and plan to purchase one of the apps available in the play store to test both headsets at the same time. the app's developer told me he has been trying to get his app to work smoothly with ics. it already handles the blueant in other versions of android.

I'm using a Q2 also. The problem isn't ICS; it's HTC. They left "voice dialer" out of thier ROM. I found APK's from other ICS devices but they don't work. Either a dev has to create one or HTC has to include one for native voice dialing to work. In the meantime I'm using Vlingo. When you use the "in car" mode the phone listens for commands over BT after you say "hey, Vlingo." You can also dictate texts and have incoming texts read back. When you activate it on the Q2 by saying "phone command," it starts up and is listening even though the Q2 says "feature not available." It's not too battery friendly though. Not perfect, but workable.
thanks for the info. is your phone rooted?
everything i found on the net elsewhere says it's android that is the problem re voice dialing - that development was dropped even before ics. does vlingo support announcing incoming caller id on the q2? and follow through on the answer/ignore response? (really, for someone who doesn't use the call function much, i am being very picky. but sophisticated means it should do all things well.)

I'm stock. Vlingo lite is free in the Market so play around with it.
mine will hopefully be here Fri, Mon, or Tue. i didn't think to try to get on a free phone's plan, so i'm getting robbed every month paying $70 (7% student discount wow thanks) for 2 GB, 450 mins (over 400 of which i don't use), and zero text. as soon as i can, i'm switching to Red Pocket. i also thought there was some way ATT was catching people with smartphones on gophone cards and turning their data off or something, to force them to come in and get the 4G sim and pay more. if not, good deal. i stay on wifi, but if i'm out and need data and it's too slow, then i won't be happy.

im new using windows mobile and im looking for an applications to make calls international any information about that
uhmmm, not sure where to start with this.
I could go with:
You just dial the number you want with the country and area code and push send. Talk and then pay the bill when you get it.
or
Get Skype and use Internet based calling. There is a cost to this as well I believe.
or
It is a windows based phone. There is no hack to allow free phone calls to other places without the carrier allowing it and thus billing you for it.
Maybe a little more information on what you want to do would be helpful. You sort of said " I have a new car so how do I get to Vegas?"

The questions was vague and poorly composed (just like your subsequent responses). That's why you didn't get a proper answer to your question.
So I got the update on the leading edge. Still no VVM under phones on ATT. Called and they say the phone doesn't support it... Of course none of them even know anything about the phone or that there was an update today.
Should we all call in and make them think about this?
I think ATT only supports VVM on the iphone. I don't think it's even on android phones. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
They support iPhones and... Get this RIM Blackberries!
What is their issue?
if they do it for us it will cost us
I wish they had it, I have to use youmail and gv, youmail for visual vm and gv for transcription. Wish I had an all in one.
I used those products in the past and it kept getting out of sync, so I just gave up. How simple could it be for ATT to just "flip a switch".

I did that and now have the RTM. However how do we know this is the AT&T matched firmware with the Focus? Since that hasn't been released yet according to the wheresmyphoneupdate website.
Also would you mind running a test on your focus? Download the application called "Bandwidth" and run a 3G test. Let me know your best results. I'm getting terrible results even with the new RTM and Samsung update package.

Programs which relied on Samsung specific drivers are updated and working (compass, etc), which shows this is a carrier ROM. Also, the phone update website has been updated since 10 AM PST to show that the updates are being delivered - I updated at 10:15 AM PST.
Also, sooo many variables affect bandwidth that that isn't a very definitive test on how the update is. Especially with the new network ATT is putting in place.
Please wait for a chat representative to respond.
Welcome to AT&T Chat. My name is 'Kathy Williams' and I’ll be happy to assist you today.
Kathy Williams: I apologize that you are having problems with your Visual Voicemail, Mr.
Kathy Williams: I will be happy to assist you.
: thank you
: I looked everything up on how to set it up but for some reason it is not showing up in settings
: i was informed that I need to have ATT do somethign on their side to "turn on" VVM
Kathy Williams: Please allow me one moment to pull up your account.
Kathy Williams: Did this new update include Visual Voicemail for your phone?
: yes
: All windows phones were updated today and the update includes VVM
: all i need is the "switch" or whatever turned on so that my service allows access to it
Kathy Williams: I apologize but we do not show Visual Voicemail available on your phone at this time.
Kathy Williams: I do not show that we are supporting that feature on this phone yet.
: do you show the Samsung Focus S in your system yet?
Kathy Williams: Yes sir. It has been in our system for awhile.
: does that phone support VVM?
Kathy Williams: No sir.
: ok...
: ATT states they are the premier carrier for windows phones but doesnt offer visual voice mail yet?
: is there any way to find out if they ever will?
Kathy Williams: No on that phone yet. We only have it on the iPhone and Blackberry at this time.
Kathy Williams: I am sure we will offer it. However it is not available right now.
: and there is no way to find out if or when though?
Kathy Williams: We do not have any information at this time, Mr.
WTF!!!
Tom Warren with PC Mag reported on twitter a while ago that hes hearing from sources that AT&T will offer VVM for our phones within the next 30 days, lets hope that is the case!
Anyone that forced Mango today on ATT just got the same RTM Mango version that has been available for awhile with a manual install. You may have got a firmware update from Samsung that enabled the Compass, but you didn't get the ATT Carrier customized Mango yet.
Once you get that if it doesnt have VVM and Mobile Hotspots then feel free to complain.
Um, im on at&t and got it legitly and i dont have vvm yet. at&t is not supporting it yet...

I forced and my firmware is AT&T (as labeled LG-C900AT) and there's no VVM option.

I don't know how many times it has to be said. AT&T does not currently support Visual Voicemail on Windows Phone 7 or Android, only on iPhone and BlackBerry. It will take upgrades on their back end before we see Visual Voicemail.
Have you guys used Dell Voice? Being a Canadian, Google voices limitations have left a lot to be desired, but I came across the app Dell Voice and have been using it for several days with much success. The best part... You get a free Canadian number . This alone puts it ahead of Skype.
I'm not getting voicemail notifications through it, however, but I think that's just a bug they need to fix. Audio on wifi is top notch. Haven't tried it on my regular data plan.

i see to the free calling cities, thats awesome tho, i call home to victoria from vancouver all the time.. this is wicked!
Yes I signed up for the service as well and am happy with the call quality and options. With the number option you can forward your calls to the number of dellvoice and get service without changing your number, where its difficult to get signals. would recommend this.
Just installed and tested a couple long distance calls.... Good call quality! A keeper for sure
Dell Voice kicks ass. I am going to call my provider (rogers) and drop my voice to the lowest plan the have 40min for $13 and cancel caller id and keep my 6 gig of data. Then I can use this for all of my calling. No more long distance calls and the best part is the call quality is actually good. better then I ever got through Skype. And receiving calls to your own assigned number. Only thing it is missing is SMS which they claim is in the workings and will be added in the future.
I heard about it earlier but installed today
Its working great but I am using Wifi connection at the moment
will test with 3G mobile network..
good stuff, thank you

Pretty cool service considering Google Voice is technically not available to Canadians.
Anyone knows more about their future plans? Bait and switch from free to paid services? Turn off service if not well received within the next few months? etc.

SIP accounts have been natively supported since Gingerbread.
In ICS go into phone -> Menu -> Settings -> Internet call settings.
You can set up your SIP account there and call settings (when to use, receive incoming, etc).

Anybody want to recommend a good SIP service and say a little about them? Currently I am using GrooVe IP + Google Voice but who knows what is going to happen now that Google has screwed them over..
I was recommended sipgate.com and terrasip.com by friends. Not much experience with them yet but I was told they are good.
From my own experience, avoid voipdiscount.com, awful call quality.
SipGate is not going to work for me, at least for the time being.
Thank you for your interest in sipgate!
Due to the increased volume of new registrations within the last few weeks, we have unfortunately ran out of free numbers in your area and we are currently not able to offer you any alternative free phone number at the moment.
We have ordered a new batch of numbers which will be made available very soon but we're afraid we can't give you an exact time frame for this yet. Follow us on twitter and we will let you know when it will be possible to sign-up for an account with us again.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.

Few people know about this provider because they mostly sell to other companies but their quality and rates is second to none. I pay $6/monthly and use the native sip feature. works like a charm.
Can anyone explain in a few words what is the difference between DID and SIP and VOIP.
I live in Thailand. I'd like to be able to let people call a number somewhere in Europe or US and have that redirect to my mobile here. Obviously with as low cost as possible.
I'd also like to be able to call people worldwide without spending an arm and a leg. That is what a SIP provider provides, correct?
I guess to get a number somewhere I need to find a DID provider able to provide the number in that country, right? And I'd still need some way to carry the call from the DID to me? Do I understand this right?
Unfortunately the international Internet connectivity from here isn't too good, so I thought perhaps it would be best to get a SIP provider here? Or does that not make any difference?
Sorry if this is going somewhat off topic, but since you guys seems to know this stuff and the OP (my) question has been answered I guess it's ok
Anyone know of a way to set it to only use internet calling when you are on wifi? It is pretty pointless for it to use 3g or LTE for internet calling...
Thanks

SIP is a protocol for VOIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
A DID is a direct inward dialing number (a telephone number).
Normally with a sip provider you don't get a DID. You receive calls at [email protected] This does not allow a standard phone to call you, just other SIP clients.
There are various services (and some SIP providers) that will allow/grant a DID to send a call to a SIP service. You can get a DID with Sipgate or use a service such as IPKall to get a DID and forward the calls placed to that DID to your VOIP/SIP provider (which will then ring your phone).

I can confirm that my regular Sim is also not getting it as well. I know RCS is supposed to be available on TMobile either now or soon, so I just can't wait until it's fully implemented. I'm sick of iMessage being the only decent first party messaging service ??
No RCS on pixel phones with T mobile. TMO only supports Samsung devices and I believe one LG phone.
Very few US carriers support Universal RCS and it's usually just a few devices if it is available. The carriers publicly state their support of Universal RCS, but clearly there is little to no motivation to switch. Right now texting uses the carrier's propriety technology and they don't want to give up that control. I doubt Universal RCS will ever reach the masses even though it is clearly a better user experience.
In a timely development, it's being reported that Google will be taking control of rsc rollout by giving uses a choice to opt into a Google service. Not in the US to start, but we will see where it goes.

I just saw some articles referring to that... I really do hope that they deliver on their word and it isn't another failed attempt like Allo was
