[APK] T-Mobile Visual Voicemail

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.

i used 'backup for root users' to do this on my MT3G, i'd hope it should work for this too.

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.

Letters in main menu.

Hello. I just discovered a strange thing and I don't know how to get rid of it. So i was adding some music and I deployed "Sound enhancer" and after that my phone grouped all my apps in menu like it is done in people tab. So i have a huge letter above all my apps which makes my menu longer and it takes more time to find an app. It also doesn't look eyecandy. So i want you to ask how to get rid of those letters and bring my menu back to normal state.
Regards
okey~

It's not a bug, it's a feature. After a cetain amount of apps this is added to your menu. When you touch on one of the letters in the menu it will bring up a screen of letters. Touch on one of these and it will take you to those apps starting with the corresponding letter. This was added to reduce scrolling when you have a large amount of apps. If you do not like it I believe that uninstalling enough apps to bring you below the limit will disable the feature.

I know how it works. But is there no way to bring it back without uninstalling apps?

Not sure it goes away even if you uninstall apps.

Nope.
Surely it makes scrolling faster, not longer? For example, rather than scrolling all the way down to, say, 'Skype'...two taps and you are there in the 'S' section..
Either way, it cannot be disabled (except perhaps if you are fully unlocked, and edit the registry?)

You are right, and think only a fool might want to disable it! I purposefully installed 4 apps more that I won't ever use just to get those indexed letters on!

Use voice instead, it is the fastest. Hold windows key and say start "app name"

I had no idea you could use speech recognition to open apps. Sweet. I'm still enjoying sending SMS while driving or doing the dishes via my bluetooth headset.

It gets better - say find "whatever address"
It will give you directions also (right above the web search)
or find "Store name" it will show that store closes to you.
and try find "movie name"
It will show theaters near you playing the movie
and find "weather in san fransisco" for example will show 5 day forcast via bing in websearch
Then find an iphone user that has siri and show him opening apps. Siri doesn't do that yet i use find flashlight all the time to use htc flashlight. it auto comes on when the app opens and it great for opening car or house door in the dark
enjoy!

Stock email app -- Gmail archive feature

I would like to use the stock email app to manage all of my email accounts including my personal Gmail. Is there a way to ARCHIVE a message in the stock app? Coming from an Iphone.. this used to work just fine.
Thanks!

I use the Gmail app and also cannot figure out how to archive vs. just trashing. Anyone??

The latest version of gmail 4.2 has an option for swype message which states archive or delete but when I swype a message it always deletes it. There are no other options that I can find unless you set this on via the web browser. Point is that the option is there so perhaps we may see another option or a popup for the swype action in future builds.
However, also in the 4.2 app if you select a message with the little checkbox you get a file-cabinet icon popup at the bottom of the screen - Archive! Not sure if this exists in the older version as no longer have it on my phone.

Thanks for the info.
Not sure if this is how it's SUPPOSED to be done, but....if I remove the INBOX label from the mail, it disappears from the inbox, and magically goes to ALL MAIL, and at the bottom of the screen reads "1 archived." Only took me four hours to figure that out! I'm sure there must be a tutorial somewhere...I went onto the Google Help site, and there was no reference to this at all. Maybe I'm just a little too picky.
How do I update to GMail 4.2 and/or find out which version is on my S3? As you can tell, I'm new to Android.

In all honesty I am not overly familiar with gmail as have other accounts that I use, I also did not realise that a message without a lable is an archived one!
For 4.2 follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933273&highlight=gmail+4+2
I would use the .apk to install it as you are new to android. Take a read through the thread to make sure you understand everything but it is pretty simple.

GV Integration Free

I finally got GV Integration Free onto my N7(WiFi only model). Here's how to do it. First you'll need a GV account and the GV app on your N7. Then follow the instructions below.
1. Download and install "MMS.apk"
2. Download and install "com.mdrtools.app.gvintegration.free-1.apk"
3. Open GV Integration Free and enter GV email and password
4. Select "Enable Integration" and wait for device to reboot
And that's it.
Enjoy!
EDIT: GoSMS also works with GV Integration.

It allows you to use the native messaging app or GoSMS to send text messages via Google Voice. I personally didn't like using the GV app to text and since you can't install this via the Play Store on a N7(WiFi model) I decided to share the apks for those who wanted to use something other than the GV app to send/receive texts.

This is awesome
GV doesn't group all the messages from one sender into a single thread and the interface is not attractive to me. I use GO Sms, and this allows me to use my favorite SMS application on my tablet. Thank you very much.

How did you extract the apk?
Great work! I have been using the apk you posted and have purchased the paid app on my S3.
On the Nexus 7 tablet, I keep getting the nag screen each time I get a new message, and I can't upgrade because the app is not compatible with the device in the market.
So my options (as far as my limited thinking allows) are:
1. Figure out a way to disable the nag alerts.
2. Extract the paid apk from my S3 and install it on my N7
How did you extract the apk? From Googling, it is supposed to be in /data/app/com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration-1.apk and I should be able to pull it using adb, However, the apk does not exist in /data/app/ on my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

You could do a Titanium Backup of the app on your S3 and transfer that backup to the Nexus 7. Then restore the app only (no data) on your Nexus 7.

Thank you. This worked perfectly.

I had to use this attached MMS apk (see link below) on cm10 stable with a GV integration apk that I can't upload here because its a paid application. The GV integration APK in the OP saying it was pirated.
Download MMS.apk: http://d-h.st/jmf

Not sure why it is saying it's pirated, it's the free version that I backed up on my GNex and transferred to my N7. So if you have the problem of the app saying it's pirated and have a device compatible with GV Integration then you can back it up with TiBu and transfer the apk to the TiBu folder on the root of the "sdcard" and restore it through TiBu.

Could someone please post a screenshot of what it looks like?

Will this work for Canadians?? I installed everything and the messages say they have been sent but no one is receiving them. I can make calls via gv no problem but this is my first time trying to text.

Thanks for this info. I got it to work with an inverted mms.apk, same one I use on my phone, but I'm not getting notification of a new message on my notification bar. I have it set in the GV Integration to "Always" for Notification Bar Icon. Are others that are using the AOSP apk getting it to show on their notification bar when you receive a text?

So I tried this out and it worked great!
I haven't been able to get chromp or go sms to work on top of it but just the default messenger app itself isn't that bad.

[APP] HANGOUTS - NOW LIVE! (Play Store link)

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.
LANDING PAGE
PLAY STORE LINK :highfive:
Hangouts replaces Talk.
Also, the Search (Now), Maps, & Music updates are avaiable.

The Chrome version is there and pops up a window overlay
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.

Hangouts for android is live!

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!

deleted, repeat message

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...

When I open up the play store link, it says installed but when I open it, Google Talk opens up...any ideas?

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.

In my phone I have the Hangout installed now, even started a group conversation, but still getting the old Talk interface in chrome, hence not seeing group messages, and not getting either the new emoticons, nor the new interface, nor the smileys, even when I click the new Hangout button in the toolbar. Maybe it will be implemented after some time in the future

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.
