google voice receive multimedia messages now?

So I remember reading that sprint would be getting pic messages update for google voice where the pic would be forwarded to your email but I never heard about that update being for all providers. But just now I got a pic message where the pic was forwarded to my email. Does anyone know if this update has come out officially. I would like to read update notes. (Also mods, if there is a better forum for this plz move. I just consider this my home forum)

You can receive mms now. I wasn't aware the functionality was expanded beyond Sprint until a couple weeks ago. It sends to your email just as you said so I'd say it's rather official.

I thought you could only receive MMS from Sprint customers still? This should've made headlines...

That's what I thought up until about 3 weeks ago. I was actually surprised. Lol, I guess I didn't miss the announcement.

Just tested this out. Sent a pic from my regular T-Mo number to my Google Voice number. Didn't work for me.

Issue sending Video MMS to iPhone

Hi,
I have seen this issue in other forums with other devices, but I thought I'd mention it here.
My Girlfriend has an iPhone 4s. I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM). When I send her a video MMS, she never receives it. Other users seem to be able to receive them fine. After doing some testing, it appears that she can receive them if I use GoSMS or Handcent from the Android Market, but it will never work with the stock app.
I'm assuming this is some kind of compatibility issue on the iPhone end? The stock SMS app encodes the video in some format the iPhone can't recognize? This is kind of an annoying issue. While I have found a workaround, I kind of like the stock SMS app on the Nexus and I just hate it when stuff doesn't work.

I'm gonna say an issue with the iPhone. I was at a party recently & about 6 of my friends (no iPhone) were complaining that my other friend (iPhone user) would answer them back super late or not at all. Turns out she wasn't getting their messages or getting them really late, or getting duplicates when she finally did receive them... (no issues between non-iphone users)

Okay, as an update, I don't think we can blame the iPhone. I just tried to send a video mms to a friend who has a MyTouch 4g running Cyanogenmod and he doesn't receive it either.
So, the messaging app is formatting videos in some way that isn't supported by other phones? Anyone else having this issue with the Galaxy Nexus?

Nope, I send my girl a MMS video when I was on 4.0.1 and it worked on her SGSII.

That's Samsung to Samsung. I'm not at all surprised it would work, even if it's some proprietary format that the phone is recording the video in for MMS messages.

ive sent MMS to my fiance and her thunderbolt no problem.
i remember hearing about that you had to change something in iOS so it would not use some apple application to send/receive texts/mms

You're probably thinking of iMessage. That is disabled on her phone. I don't know what else it could be. I even created a new MMS APN to test it and it's still not working in the stock app.

I have no issues sending mms to my girlfriends iphone 4s .
I did initially simply because I also had an iphone at one point and I message was getting confused . But once she turned that off ..sent me a pic and turned I message back on ..everything was good to go .
I have had no issues on any rom I have tried.

I can do pics just fine. It's video. If I click the attachment icon and select video and then "record video", she never receives it, nor does my co-worker running Cyanogenmod on his MyTouch 4G. It seems like it's a file format compatibility issue. Whatever format Handcent uses for the same function works fine, although the video is flipped when the iPhone receives it.

Mm that explains a lot I thought it was a att or sprint thing that you couldn't receive MMS from some android phones. It happened to my 4S when a friend send some pics but when I switch phones. They re send that pictures and it work... the sucks tho. My wife might not get my MMS sometimes then

Yeah, sorry about that. It was pretty disappointing to me, as well. The good news is that we can still send video mms if we use Handcent, ChompSMS, or GoSMS. And if it makes you feel better, Windows Phone 7 STILL can't send videos that way.
I'd still like to know what the problem is. I reported it to Samsung and got a generic "talk to AT&T" response. AT&T is NOT the problem here.

Actually ..I have a wp7 trophy ..the recent tango update brought mms with it thank god ... so we really do just suck . I HATE using 3rd party SMS apps .
I'm going to dig a little deeper and see if I can find a work around or maybe even a fix

Well I updated my radio and bootloader last night to the official 4.0. 4 and the test videos I sent to my girlfriend days ago were pushed through to her at like 3am.
So she told me a out it this morning.. I went ahead and sent a new video and she got it no problem.
That seems to have fixed that issue... As well as data and voice signal drops

Want to know what's ironic? My girlfriend received the videos I sent her several days ago at 2 am this morning, as well. I haven't changed anything on my phone. I wonder if AT&T did something to their system on the backend. I'm going to do some more testing?

That's crazy man Haha

Confirmed. Tested it this morning and she now receives them right away (though the video orientation is always flipped if I record it in portrait). Looks like AT&T did something and it's working from the stock app now.
Weird coincidence, huh? Maybe your update fixed AT&T's delivery system!

Call and text forwarding to tablet?

I would like an app that allows calls and texts to be forwarded to my tablet when I'm at home. I would like to be able to send and receive texts and receive incoming and make outgoing calls. I know that tablet talk supports the texting, but what about the phone calls? I would like to receive them at my verizon number, and it would be nice if both my tablet and phone ring when a call is being received.
Like I said, I would only like this to work at home when both phones are on the same wifi network.
EXIT: If there is no simple way to do the call forwarding, or if that would not work well, it would be great if someone could recommend an app to me which notifys me when my phone misses a call.

I recently found the app tablet talk and it is awesome.
Works with wifi in your home or even through blue tooth and also does call forwarding. I just use it as a caller I'd to see if it's worth getting up to pick up my phone even.
Exactly what I wanted and I don't even carry my phone around in the house anymore.

Is there a way to connect Tablet Talk to both an N7 and a Transformer? I've only gotten it to connect to one or the other.

One device only right now. I think Dev is trying to work on multi device support.

tablet talk costs?

When I tried to sync sms on my Galaxy Nexus with the Nexus 7 via Tablet Talk, it locks up at 8 percent. I've tried removing cache, uninstalling then reinstalling,using Bluetooth AND WiFi. It always fails at 8 percent. Wtf?

They synced instantly for me. 4.1 Galaxy S and 4.1 Nexus 7.

I wonder is the different os versions is an issue. One wouldnt think so with so few devices with JB on em. I'm spoiled by aokp on my GN, so I've been reluctant to flash JB as a daily driver. Everything else works great, controlling the dialing of the phone, caller id, any new SMS received too. Its only when I try and "sync all SMS from phone" and it fails at 8 percent every time. I've emailed the developer.
I just got a response from the developer. They emailed me a copy of the app, labeled "TabletTalk143_synctest", and it worked beautifully over WiFi and Bluetooth. Extremely rapid response!

Agreed. I don't mind paying for a good app either. It helps out against the stigma that android users don't pay for apps.

Apparently my N5X is ineligible for the Beta program?!

So to give my phone the hurry up to get updated to N - was going to do the Beta update method via https://www.google.com/android/beta?u=0
Only to have it tell me my Nexus 5X isn't eligible?!
What the hell?

Don't worry too much. As since of yesterday, Android Nougat has been released.

Welcome to the club. Android device manager doesn't work either. It's an account thing that Google is refusing to fix for about two years.
If you really want in, use a different Google account.

That is why I am trying to get into the beta - since their taking their sweet time pushing the update out. Registering your handset for Beta pushes the OTAs out almost immediately.

I seen this trick in another thread, and can confirm that it has worked for me also, but make a second throwaway Google account and register that account for the beta program. You should receive the OTA notification instantly.

Just made a new account, and still shows as ineligible. Google HATES New Zealand it seems... We don't even have a Language option.

SVLTE? Does the note 4 have it?

I'm running into a lot of road blocks trying to find the latest phones that had the svlte. I know the galaxy s5 from verizon has it. But want to know if the note 4 for verizon has it? Also if you know of any other phones that have it. I have asked this question in other places but no one seems to know since I NEVER get a reply.
And if you are unsure what this is you can still test it for me if you want and have the note 4.
1. turn off your wifi.
2. call someone.
3. open chrome or other internet app and see if you can go to webpages like google etc to search for things.
4. if it tells you that you cannot use data while in call then it does not have svlte. If it lets you use data while on a call then GREAT!

Yep, I can make calls and surf at the same time
