Hi, I´m not certain that my issue is limited to the Desire but here goes...
Am I the only one experiencing that when I Start up endomondo tracker that after about a second or two my desire opens android market and shows search results as if I had searched for speechsynthesis data?
Well it is difficult to answer, when i dont know the exact app, but the speechsynthesis data from the market is for use with the android tts(text to speech). Is it possible, that this app uses some kind of text to speech to give messages through the speaker?
It is probarbly because the app needs this data file, and it should be fine, if you just install it.
Hope it helps
Yes it does. I use this app. I already have installed the voice to text IME mod which is available in this site somewhere. The app gives you pep talks amd has an audio coach built into it.
Try and install the IME mod and see if that works, as I haven't come across this problem.

(Here you go this is the thread for voice mod)
I have been using the app now for a long time and have text to speech installed, try downloading and installing tts from the market place and then re-launching endomondo
Many have had issues with their visual voicemail apps disappearing, and not available in Market. Thanks to the folks below for providing the APKs for manual install.
2 Versions attached.
tmo-vm-1.0.12.apk - props to bmozaffari
tmo-vm-1.2.19.apk - props to chewy106
There was an app update available, and after the update the original icon on the screen didn't work but was still there, I had to use the icon in the drawer.
I heave an update available in the market but get an error when I try to d/l. I also don't have the icon in my app drawer.
Sent from my DETHFONE (G2)
initially i had to download it from the market to even have access to visual voicemail cuz it wasn't already on my phone by default.
in the market, look under the t-mobile tab at the very bottom. there's 2 other T-mo apps avail. caller tunes & something else.
and after the update i was able to activate Visual Voicemail from within the drawer.
and just as an FYI, here's how Visual Voicemail looks after the UPDATE:
That sure looks nice. Wish I could update mine. I went and looke in T-mobile tab and all I saw was caller tunes, ringtones, and my account. Tried to update mine again and it said my request could not be found. Then I tried to uninstall it and that force closed the market. Guess ill just have to stick with the original for now.

Can someone please post the .apk? It doesn't show in market for me at all.

sorry for the late response.
i'm down to post the APK file.
anybody care to instruct me on how to do it from my phone with no desktop interface?
i have:
~temp-root
~gScript Lite
~root explorer
~android terminal emulator
I don't know how, but I would love it when you figure out how to do it.
I'm on my second G2. First one rebooted all the time...hung on the 2 screen.
Second one incoming and outgoing calls are silent...great when someone I don't want to talk to calls, but not so great when an important call is coming in.
Guess I will have to go back to the G1.

t-mobile visual voicemail
I myself came here looking to find out what was up with the update... For those of you who don't have any version of the app, it's attached to my message here. I got an update notification and also get a "not found" error when I click on it in the Market.
My G2 didn't even include Visual Voicemail. However, I did already load up the .apk
i heard there was some issues with vvm, so that is why it was taken off the market. my original pre order g2 had vvm. but since i got my replacement it did not come with it and i try looking for it in market but nothing. =(
thanks for the upload...i'll try to see if i can install it.
I use YouMail. A lot nicer IMHO
looks like it works...but i want the new version...not sure how to get that one.
Newest VVM
Attached.
If it returns "unauthorized" errors, make sure the Visual Voicemail provisioning is on your line (it's free). Seems to be working fine on my 3rd G2, though it lost one of my 2 previous saved messages from before I returned the 2nd one earlier today. Though the update says it will delete all old messages, so keeping one of the two is a bonus I guess
I wondered what happened to the VVM app too. Couldn't find it on the Market.
Finally just gave up and signed up for Google Voice on my G2 and have been getting my voicemails that way along with the transcripts.
I'd like to go back and try the VVM app from TMo though for comparison.
Hey guys, new to Android and G2, my G2 just arrived today and I'm in the swing of things. Been doing some app picking up on the Market and it's really just awesome.
A few questions though.
What's with Browser? It lets me select a homepage but when it opens, the Homepage doesn't load. Instead it's the last page I visited. Not a fan of that.
What's the best Video Player out there? I'm using RockPlayer, it's great, but I'd like to lose the ads. If there's no alternative, I wouldn't mind paying the ten bucks, but... if I can avoid this, I'd rather do that.
Also, the Music Player is okay, but I can't seem to get the music to stop. I can pause it, but it doesn't just close out completely.
Thanks for your help, sorry about the noobish questions, but please go easy on me, I'm new -.-
The browser goes to the last page visited because you haven't closed out of the browser completely. You might have just pressed home to get out of the browser, unless you pressed back several times to go to the original page from all the pages that you have viewed, then it will finally go back to the home screens. It will go to the new home page if you press menu, windows, and new window.
I don't have a problem with the stock video player, so I have been using that.
Also, I'm not sure since I don't have a stock rom, but on CM6, if you hold the back button, it forces the apps to close out. You could give that a shot.
The question 1 & 3 are the same actually. The browser and the player still runs in the background, like u just minimize them. They are not closed yet.
To close them the simplest way is to install a thread killer software like ES series or some others.
Q2, I found no better video player [email protected]@
I'm sorry, stock video player? Where's that at? :/
And thanks for the answers on 1 and 3, I'll give both a shot now.

You know, if you have a video file in your memory card and you click on it using a file browser or if its in a directory where the gallery app picks it up (folder named 'videos' etc), it plays automatically.

I'd recommend u root the phone and install "Ad Free", it solves the annoying ads on your phone
There are a ton of video players in the market. I've tried the ones that seem to be most commonly used by XDA folks: ArcMedia, Rockplayer and vplayer. Rockplayer is my favorite so far. It is able to play every video I've tried (might have to toggle hardware decoding to play a few) and has the most usable interface of those I've tried.

Is that a function somewhere? Or is that just on the Home Screen and applies to all Apps?
I'm not really trying to stop anything from running, as opposed to having a certain webpage open everytime I open the Browser and no music playing when I open up Music. For those two Apps, I don't want to be where I "left off."
Also, I did root it and put on CM 6.1.1. For the first time doing something like this, I think it went rather well.
Thanks guys, for any help provided.
Dolphin browser is the one I use and I have no complaints.

Android decides for itself whether to leave an app running when you move away from it, or whether to close it. It usually does a pretty good job.
Most people want the browser to stay at the page they were using so they can go straight back to it. There are task killer apps for Android but it's normally recommended that you stay away from these, since they can cause their own problems.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Right, I'm not looking to close any apps really. I guess it'd be nice to be able to close an app out, say a game, Browser or Music, but only if you wanted to. If you instead just pressed Home, those apps would stay open so you can go back to them later. But if you were finished with say, surfing the web, you could exit out, it would take you Home like normal.
I don't know, I understand totally about Android and it's ability to multi-task. I'm not really even looking to close things out completely, but if that's the distinction between opening an App from where you last had it to opening an App to it's "home screen" then so be it.
Yeah, it's kind of a different mentality. Pressing the phone's home button is really more of a "show desktop" than an exit. This means a better user experience for the average user though (since as was said before, everything is back to the way they last had it and the programs will load faster since they weren't removed from memory to begin with). Whenever I want to leave the browser on its home screen, I simply close all of its windows before leaving the app (just like opening a new window, closing the last open one will make it go to the home page).
With a custom rom, you can do more of what you are saying. I know with CM, you can assign a long press of the back button to exit out of the foreground program (so now pressing home will leave the app running and long-pressing back will completely exit out of it). I believe the MIUI rom allows that as well. Alternatively, you can use a task manager to do the same thing (though maybe not as conveniently---not sure if any of the task managers have a similar shortcut key feature).
Thanks. This is what I was looking for. I have Cyrogen 6.1.1 on my phone now. Could I ask for some assistance in setting up the long press of the back key? Thanks much!
Sure. It's under Settings->Applications->Development. The last option in the list.
Thanks again so much Quinn. I am very happy now! Just a few more questions and I think I'll be good.
1) I'd like to be able to set my Quickkeys to Back, Foward, and Home. Is there a way to do this, preferably without an App? If not, at least a way to clear out the Quickkeys area.
2) What does the Google App package come with exactly?
3) How do I uninstall some of the Apps like Twitter and Facebook? I don't see a way to uninstall those the normal way.
Thanks for all the help!

You can do this by editing your keymap files. An example of an edited one can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837002. The QuickKeys are mapped to user1, user2, and user3. I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but there is a simple one to use called ButtonRemapper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464). You may be able to install it, use it to quickly edit your keymap file, and then uninstall, but I'm not positive on that. That app page also has a link to a great guide about how keymap files are structured.

I'm assuming you are talking about Google Addons for CM6? You can unzip the file and look in the apps directory, but here's a listing for convenience: CarHomeGoogle, CarHomeLauncher, Facebook, GenieWidget, Gmail, GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter, GoogleFeedback, GooglePartnerSetup, GoogleQuickSearchBox, GoogleServicesFramework, googlevoice, HtcCopyright, HtcEmailPolicy, HtcSettings, kickback, LatinImeTutorial, list.txt, Maps, MarketUpdater, MediaUploader, NetworkLocation, OneTimeInitializer, PassionQuickOffice, SetupWizard, soundback, Street, Talk, talkback, Twitter, Vending, VoiceSearch, YouTube.

You can delete the appropriate APK from your /system/app directory. Alternatively, you can simply disable the app with a "pm disable" command in the terminal (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231). This is usually the safer route---disable the app, make sure your phone is still running properly, then uninstall it if you still want to. If you want a nicer interface for doing all this, you can download TitaniumBackup from the Market (I believe the free version allows both uninstalling and freezing/disabling apps).
Enjoy your new phone!
Dude... open market, click the search button, enter "firefox". Install that. Yes, genuine firefox. Its in beta and still has a few glitches, but ITS FIREFOX!! DO IT!
Hi All,
I have upgraded my HTC One X to 4.1.1 (HTC pushed down update, stock ROM, not rooted) and since doing that the "share" option available in most apps is very light on with the apps that I can share links/videos/etc with.
The two I use the most aren't there - messages (sending SMS) and gmail.
When I first upgraded the only for options were AndSMB, AndFTP, Bluetooth, and Download Manager HD.
Since then I have factory reset the phone, including formatting the storage, I installed the bare minimum of apps I use everyday and tried it again. Whilst the situation has improved slightly, in Youtube when I share a video I now only get: Bluetooth, Drive, Dropbox and Facebook.
Does anyone know how I can add the system apps back to this list, such as gmail and messages?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jason
$2 Fixed it!
Well after some more googling I found about an app called AndShare with fixed the problem. I didn't bother with the free version, I just went straight to the Pro and it worked an abosolute treat.
This is not spam - I just thought i'd update the thread for anyone else who discovers this same problem in future.

I have the exact same problem! I can't find the app you mentioned though, happen to have a market link for it? That'd be much appreciated!
I have the same issue. In my case it's just the Gmail app I an missing. It is out of the share menu in every app... Is there a solution yet? Where can one find this Andshare app? Thank you
I know this should go in apps/themes but will probably get most visibility here, plus this thread will die quick enough anyways. Mods, move it if you want, not that you need my permission.

Anyone know if SMS is part of it? Seems silly for it not to be, but doesn't look like it's part of it. So not actually unified messaging yet.

Just installed it, and people's numbers are listed. What happens if I send a message to one? Bearing in mind that Google Voice doesn't yet exist in the UK!
Really does seem like an huge gap. They talked about getting technology out of the way so you can get on with communication, but I still have two apps to send messages and pictures to other people!

It verified my # first?. But didnt migrate my sms list and the hangout message I sent didnt show in sms. I agree it would be cool if that was a feature, maybe in the future.
Didnt want to make a new thread for this but since we are talking about apps and stuff announced at Google I/O. New updates for Google Play music and Google search are in the play store. Google Play Music looks COMPLETELY different.
It tried to verify my number, but I think that's a WhatsApp style link for others to find you.
However, my SIM reports my number as something else entirely because I ported a number over. So it couldn't verify me. Trying to talk to my network now, they're not answering...

I like the improvements too! I figured as much of a hot topic as Hangouts has been I might as well post the thread just in case someone forgot what today is lol. Like I said in the OP, I'm expecting it to die quickly - just a friendly PSA. But you are correct, probably didn't warrant a new thread but I've seen worse.

Mine said it was going to send a sms, but I never received one, instead I received a notification that my # was verified.
Yeah, but the number my SIM reports is not my phone number, and Hangouts picked up the number from the SIM! Trying to get the network to reset it...

This is transitioning Talk into Hangouts so it may take a little time for everything to line up. At first I was being directed to "Hangouts (replaces Talk)" that just said "open" on my device, and it looked like Talk. But then, after a dozen impatient refreshes, "open" changed to "update". Now Talk is labeled Hangout and has the new UI, but the icon is still Talk. Messages I am sending in Hangout on my phone are appearing in Talk in gmail on my comp right now.

If you are using a ROM where Talk is one of the system apps, you may need to uninstall it. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then downloaded Hangouts from the Play Store.

If I'm understanding you right, you're trying to access Hangouts via the Gmail web interface. The Chrome Hangouts plugin does NOT replace the Talk box in Gmail. It adds an extra app, which is accessed by clicking the Hangouts icon on your Chrome toolbar.
The Gmail web interface will be rolled out later and will be upgraded from within Gmail itself.
