Anyone give this app a go? Looks like a great idea, as sending a voice message when in areas with heavy background noise makes voice to text cumbersome.
Cant seem to get notifications to work without actually opening the app though
With push enabled this would be a great addition to the watch.

Since YouMail have released their API with documentation, I was hoping someone would be able to whip up a nice Windows Mobile client for this service. I can't be the only one who uses YouMail and would love to have it on his phone without going through Opera. Anyone interested?
I use youmail too, but I never really felt the need for a separate app. My wife has an Iphone, and I've seen the app on hers but wasn't impressed. I just set it up on the favorites panel. And I get emailed with a link to the message anyway, so I dont even launch it that way very often.
I'm not trying to discourage you, just giving my point of view.
I actually have an iphone with the youmail app on it and I find it invaluable. It's a far better solution for me than having to open up safari to go to the mobile site. The program sends a push notification rather than clogging up my email inbox with useless junk, and it's just all around a much more pleasant experience. Considering they felt the need to make clients for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, obviously a lot of people agree with that sentiment. But to each his own I guess. I'm still hoping someone with some programming talent will be willing and able to whip something up.
I use and love you mail. I'm starting a project for a WM client. Dont wait up because I wont have much time to work on it. Once it progresses enough I might ask someone here to do some graphics for me. It will work by intercepting you mail sms messages. When it catches a message from youmail it will sync with the online acct. It will also feature a chome plugin to replace the existing missed call and VM plugins.
If possible I will also suppress the system missed call notification and show my own. Currently it annoys me that i get a text from youmail for notification of missed calls and I still get the built in missed call notification. I would like to disable the built in one. One advantage of youmail is that if someone calls you and your phone has no signal or is off, you mail still sends you a missed call notification. On the other hand if someone calls and hangs up before it goes to voicemail the system will show a notification but youmail is never aware of the call. Therefore I will suppress the system notification and show my own notifications if the system gets a missed call or if youmail gets a missed call (and each time I will need to check to see if they are notifying of the same call or if a different one occured). Better get coding.
I hope you get some time soon to work on it. Sounds great! I did a mockup of how I envisioned such a program and made some rudimentary graphics. Feel free to PM me if you are interested in them.
I'm interested too!

i hope you get some a chance to work on this i would be interested in testing this it would be nice to have a more functional youmail app it would be nice if this could work with google voice also as far as the notifcations system
this is a quick little app i whipped up like a week or two ago its nothing special but it works for your basic youmail needs. this is a quick easy solution to my needs so im sharing it with you all.

doesnt store number
works on acer neotouch but doesn't store the login info. Better to just use a favorites link on desktop and use that instead. thanks for trying though.
Hi,
I keep reading threads about using Google voice on the evo instead of the sprint visual voicemail. How are you guys using it (I hate to ask a really basic question)?
Do you just get an email in your inbox & check it? Is there a way to get a notification of an email? Is there an Evo app to use it?
I hate how I keep losing my voicemails when trying out roms.
Plus the new Cyan Froyo has that visual voicemail bug which keeps a perm notification. So if I cant beat them, how do I join them?
Thanks,
Rich
It integrates really well. The only thing missing is mms support.

I'm an Android AND Google Voice newb, but I use it for voicemail and love it. As you described, your voicemail is totally independent of Sprint and you can flash ROMs to your heart's content and always be able to read and listen to your messages from any PC with hiccups or issues. I also love the fact that you can have different greeting for different callers. You can send specific callers straight to VM, dial numbers from your computer, and other stuff I haven't really had the time to discover yet. Since it's free, why not give it a shot? You have nothing to lose.
Is there a specific app for it on android? Does a new voicemail pop into the notification area?
Have not set it up on my EVO, however on my Nexus I had Google Voice transcribe the voicemail and text me. Transcription was marginal, but 90% of the time I could get the gist if not I just listened to it.

Yes and yes. There's a Google Voice app in the Market which is free (Check the publisher, too) and integrates perfectly with Android. It gives you notifications for SMS, Voicemail, missed calls, the works.
The only downside, is if you're using AnyMobile AnyTime, incoming calls from cellphones show up as cellphones and are then charged as cellphones, BUT, outgoing calls go to a Google Voice access number, and are then charged as landlines. My work-around has been to use Sipgate ONE with Fring or another softphone; set Google Voice to ring your Sipgate number, then add your Sipgate account to Fring's SIP profile. Since Sipgate ONE has unlimited free incoming calls, and even Google Voice outbound calls are really billed as incoming (GVoice makes a call to you, and then makes a call to the target phone number), you get free unlimited calls over VoIP on 3G, 4G, and WiFi.
The only downside to this method, is you have to use a computer to initiate the Sipgate/GVoice calls, as the GVoice app for Android *only* manages Google Voice for the Android phone via normal calls, and not other phones, and unlike the iPhone, there's no web interface (you just get a web page telling you to download the app from the market).
I have set up Sprint to forward to Google Voice instead of my Sprint VM. I don't use it for making calls but more as a forwarding and management service. I like having a second number to give out to people other than friends and family where I can screen calls easier. The only downside is that Sprint rings like 6-8 times and then forwards to Gvoice which rings another few times. People get tired of waiting and often don't leave a message.
The Google voice app is awesome. You can also send/receive free text messages on the phone.
Google Voice is one of the best apps you can get on android. it completely replaces your text/voicemail apps. you can READ voicemail messages, have custom voicemail greetings for every caller, text from any browser, and so much more. It is a must have if you own an Android phone in my opinion
I am using Google Voice on my Epic 4G Touch. I am not using it to get free calls and am not using any program like "sip droid" in conjunction with it.
I am partial to it mainly for the online logs, the ability to send texts via web browser, and the transcribed voicemail.
Phone: Epic 4G touch
Rom: StarBurst v1.9.8r
Kernel: LoStKernelExp+ 1.0.0.8
Mods: None.
Problem/Question:
Google voice will receive my text fine and show them on both the phone and browser. BUT, Even though GV is set to also notify the native E4GT "Messaging" app, sometime the Messaging app receives them late or not at all. Is this normal with GV and I have to live with it? Or is there an alternative messaging app that "jives" with GV a little bit better?
Thank you in advance for all of your help.

I know others use GV...
Do you not have any problems?
Do you use GV to generate and reply to text or, the native app?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you number is ported to Google Voice is that it essentially intercepts all of your text messages, and then sends you a duplicate SMS. One possibility is that there is a "hitch" in this process at Google which causes a delay or total SMS loss.
However, I'm guessing the lag most likely has to do with poor reception or LOS on your phone. If you have airplane mode on, and then turn on wifi, you will receive all of your text messages in Google Voice and none in the SMS app. Concurrently, if you were on wifi and had poor or no cell signal (LOS), you would receive a text in the Google Voice App, but it would not arrive in the native messaging app until you had signal again. Do you live or travel through poor reception areas?
A suggestion. If you go into Google Voice in your browser, you can deactivate "Receive text messages on this phone" on the settings page. Messages will not be forwarded to your native SMS app at all, and then you can just rely on the Google Voice app for text messaging--and not receive two notifications for each text. This is what I do because I do not mind the Google Voice app, and there is no cell signal at my work, yet wifi is available.
The downsides to this are:
a) you may not like to use the Google Voice app, and/or
b) you must have a data connection (3g/wifi) to receive text messages--this might not be ideal if you travel in poor data signal areas
Note that using a different SMS application would not provide any different result as the problem occurs before any message actually reaches your phone.
Thank you for the reply.
The odd thing is that if I am texting 4-5 people, I will not receive the texts from one of them... It is always a different person and does not happen very often.
I would like to strictly use the GV app (wish it had more setting options and skins) but, it does not appear to support MMS.
Overall I am happy with how it works. Didn't know if there was a third party texting app that actually logged into GV texting.

I'm looking for a new Text-To-Speech app that announces the name of who's calling and who's texting me. I just uninstalled Voice Alerts because it doesn't announce names without cutting out and worse, it doesn't stop announcing caller's names long after you've declined the call. I also used SMS Alerts and some others, but each one ends up failing.
Does anyone else use an app like this on their GN2?
Hmm... guess no one like to use TTS announcements instead of ringtones like I do. I did find and am trying out "Call Announcer". I had a minor problem at first so I contacted the Developer who replied fairly quickly. It's working so far.
I've used Full Screen Caller ID for quite a while: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree&hl=en
Besides the bigger contact picture, it will announce calls and read text messages.
Turn on driving mode under touchwiz. (You will find it under the quick toggles in the pull down notification screen.)
I am not 100% it works the way you want it to, but it does announce who is calling and who sent you a text message. Play with it.
I was wondering how that was happening on my mom's note.
Essentially I’m looking to have someone build (you would be paid) an application for Android that acts like a mix between WhatsApp and Google Voice, but instead of being restricted to the United States like Google Voice, it uses a number provided by a service like Twilio or Nexmoto send and receive calls and SMS. I'd prefer Nexmo because inbound SMSs are at no cost.
This wouldn't be for a large scale roll-out/business/money making thing. Just as a little background, I have a friend in the UK that has a terrible data plan and constantly has to disable their data, so an app that uses data (WhatApp), the conversation goes on pause.
On my end when running the app I'd be using data/WiFi to send/receive calls and texts using the number/account I have on Nexmo (I also have one with Twilio), and when I sent a text using the app, it would be to their phone number and would be received by them just like a typical SMS message.
