ATTN: Anyone with their Eris on Cricket -
Has anyone here successfully set up Google Voice on their Cricket flashed phone?
I'm attempting to get my ex-gf's set up with Google Voice. As you go through the setup process, and hit 'Activate', after a short minute or two, the activation Fails, with a message citing that Google Voice was unable to detect a valid phone number for the phone (implying the ACTUAL number, not the 'Voice' number).
(note: this is Plain Jane v1.0 (shouldn't matter), all PST settings in place properly, and the cricket_web_mms_v9.zip flash from Token419)
My next efforts will include taking /data/data/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice/shared_prefs/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice_preferences.xml and editing it in WordPad to include her phone numbers instead of mine.
Then I'm going to copy the whole com.google.android.apps.googlevoice folder from my /data/data into her /data/data, and reboot the phone.
My HOPE is that the number just needs to be thrown into this .xml file, and nothing more.
Has anyone else had any trouble with this, or needed to play with .xml files to get this to work? If so, did you set it up to work on Google.com/voice with a full web browser (computer) first, THEN set it up on the phone? Or did you use the phone first.
I will report my success rate here whenever I see her (hopefully this week?), but until then, I thought I'd see if someone found something more efficient or reasonable to do to get this to work (since what I'm doing seems a little excessive!)
Thank you in advance, ladies and gentlemen.

Have you done the full flash outlined in this thread?
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...o-Flash-to-Cricket-with-Talk-Text-Wap-and-MMS
I was actually the first one on any of the forums to get MMS working on Cricket on our phones.
I did it by figuring it out (not using a method from any other phone).
And yes, all PST settings are in place 100%, and the cricket web MMS v9 flash is flashed to the phone, 100%.
More specifically, from this thread:

Cricket's forwarding commands are different than what is pre-programmed on Gtalk. I don't recall exactly, but I think instead of #740 to forward, it's #720 for Cricket....that may help...I got it set up right away after figuring that out.

Right, but that's not the problem.
Forwarding everything to Google Voice is not the problem at all. It's *73 and *74 and so on, virtually the same as Sprint.
The problem isn't using Google Voice the way some people use it, by having it text you, and using the web site.
The problem is, SPECIFICALLY, with the Google Voice app. When opening it for the first time, it tells you that it can't detect your phone number. In other words, your normal Cricket phone number.
I'm looking to have her put on the Google Voice app, so that instead of getting texts with your transcribed voice mails (many minutes after the voice mail), that the app brings it through the internet (like it does for me, on Verizon).
Without the Voice app, Google Voice might as well be like it is on the iPhone (since the GV+ app sucks), which is basically the same as a Dumb Phone uses it.
Bump? On mycricket.com they tell how to do unconditional call forwarding. So I know its possible. Although I don't see a feature under features in mycricket.com. So BuMp any got this working with Cricket?
Thanks,
MM

Hello all. I'm not sure if this has been posted here, but thought I'd post again. I take no credit for this fix. Voice Command works well on my Mogul, running dcd 1.67, but incoming calls were not being announced.
This fixed my problem:

yeah, I found this before but forgot where it was. Thanks for pointing it out again.
Too bad this still doesn't fix the verification prompt issues

UNZIP IT! (winzip,winrar,windows xp uncompress utility)
Disable Voice Command before you attempt this
Overwrite your existing (on your mogul) files from the zip. Make sure you can see hidden/system files
\Windows
VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl
\Program Files\Voice Command\
VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll
VoiceCommandWMP.dll
voicecmd.exe
Enable voice command.
I need voice announce to work on the T-Mobile Dash 3G
OK. Hi. My name is Chris. I am totally blind. NO seriously I mean it. I have a program on the phone that reads the screen to me called Mobile speak, from www.codefactory.es. Any who, irrelavent as that is, LOL! Basically, here is what I found from talking to HTC. I won't squeel on the lady who told me this, as she said she's not supposed to tell me this, however she felt real bad due to my unique situation with blindness. Basically, the eal is: No matter what phone you use, if it has WM 6.1, this MSVC regardless what hack you use, isn't gonna work with announcing calls. There apparently, was a hotfix that MS did not include in WM 6.1 that was meant to be in there but wasn't. Without this hotfix, htc says hack or not, rom update or not, older/newer version of VC, isn't gonna fix things. They wanna give us the update, but they can't even make it themselves till A, that hotfix is emplemented, or B, W6.5 is released. I can't use the cooked 6.5's as they don't work well with Mobile Speak. Plus the start menu doesn't work period with MSpeak. I got the zip file up here, quit msv, replaced files, restarted, no go no show. still no announcing of calls. She reads everything else fine, but not that. So I present you all with a couple questions. Can I please get the Dash 6.0 version of Windows Mobile from someone with a US Dash 6.0, and put it on here? Yeah 3G won't work any more, and some other things won't either, likely, however, if you all think in theory it would work, I'd be willing to try it. I already unlocked with spl my phone, so, that's all good. If this doesn't work, can you all get me a program as an alternative to VC that will audibly announce calls? I need this as due to my blindness, I can't read the caller ID with MObile speak while phone is ringing as it's drowned out by ring tone. if I turn ringer down, that works except, caller ID only is spoken by MS once, so if I'm outta the room, well, yeah... good luck. you're officially screwed. This unlike you all is not a wanted feature, due to my disability, it's a need, so please! can someone help me. Even if we have to really go a pain in the effin arse's way really round about? I've been reading you all's threads here both related and unrelated to this. Yall're awesome, so surely I say: someone up here's gotta! have some idea. I can't wait for 6.5, then longer for Code Factory to do their magic to get Mobile speak working. I'm sorry, that's just not satisfactory.
Please E-mail me with any help.

Voice Command Call Announce issue
I tried copying the files from the Zip, could only get 3 of the 4 into my phone, made it freeze, had to uninstall and reinstall VC. Still cannot get incoming calls to announce on a newly upgrade ROM.
Can someone post a cab that will forward all text from one phone (work) to another phone (personal)? I want to keep from carrying two phones on the weekend.
BUMP
I thought I would bump this post and just say that android has this type of an application and was hoping that someone has something like this... Im searching and just haven't found it yet.
why not to use PIMBackup to backup sms from one and to restore (up) in the other one ?
Sorry for not being clear.

This would work if I did not need live updates on the text that my work phone is getting. To compound the problem my work cell is the TP2 and my personal phone is a Droid Eris. My work cell has voice and text only so the application would have to utilize text to text feature. I don't think my phone allows mms. Is there any apps out there that can do this?
Still Searching.

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)
Does this help to answer your question?

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

Hi, I can call someone like galaxy tab 7"? I can compose the number and call?
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..
But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.
Uhh, yes you can call with this tab. Install Google Voice, get a free number, buy Groove IP from the Market, 5 minutes later you will have a giant slab of a phone.

Edit: about google voice.. I hate to break it to you, but not everyone is american.
Post #3 is correct. Obviously you have to be on wifi, but you can very easily make phone calls with this tablet. I have done it many times. To the OP, if you need links or anything else please let us know.

Just as you can access US/UK video with a US IP address - you can get Google Voice with a US number.
Get a free (or rent) US voip number, register for google voice.

I can't speak for the Tab (I have one now), but I was able to use Skype with my Xoom when I had that tablet. It worked fine. Just need to download it and use a wi-fi connection.

I assume you are talking about using a VoIP provider? Is there any way of making FREE calls in to US numbers using Google Voice Callback or something similar? I've been unsuccessful in trying to make it work on mine (wifi only version)
I tried groove IP the call quality sucks no one can hear me but I am able to text from my Google voice number

This is correct ...and the first mod I did. Don't forget to click forward calls to gtalk in Gvoice. Scince my main number is ported, it rings and texts my tab and phone simultaneously. sweet. Only downside is wifi/teather required
Hello guys.
I have been using 4A for about 6 months now. My calling is heavy due to nature of my work. However, I am really disappointed by the dialer which 4A comes with due to following reasons-
1. No unlimited call logs which is a very big bummer. It's such a basic thing any phone maker must provide.
2. Smart search from dialer is as bad as it can be. I'm coming from a Xiaomi phone and Google should really learn a few things how to make a dialer app. The search is billion times better in the latter.
3. Lack of call recording which I can live with but is desirable.
Basically I'm asking if I can install any third party dialer (preferably MiUI) ? I'm ready to root if it's needed.
Please help me. I'm on the verge of going back to my MIUI phone as my main phone just because of this crappy dialer.
PS: I can't go custom ROM way because I don't want to lose stock camera's quality.
Thanks

Try using TruePhone ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.dialer.free ). I have call recording and I have never came to a situation where call log was too short - I have checked my favorite contact and I have log since I installed it.
P. S. U have root on my phone, but I am not convinced if it is needed. Try it as IMHO is the best dialer with tons on customization.

Hi,
Can you elaborate on these two?
I ask because if I click the middle "Recents" button at the bottom, the call log is very limited. But if I then click the three dot button in the top right and select "Call History", it will go back very far in time.
Also, what problems are you having with the smart search? Can you mention a couple of examples?

I did check the history and surprisingly found out today that my call records are only till 6th of April from today and then directly to Oct 2020. Don't know how is that possible, but this is what I found.
I'll explain my problem to you.
When I bought this phone, I had imported around 10k call logs records but when I used to check history of numbers I dial frequently, I came to know it's not storing unlimited history. Like the person whom I have called 20 times has only 2 entries in the log.
Until today I didn't know that history between 20 Oct 2020 to April 5, 2021 is missing. I don't have a sane explanation for this.
Regarding smart search, see following scenarios:
It doesn't search if I type keywords which are between the names. Eg name is John, if I type 646, it should show but it doesn't. It always search with first letter only, be it name or surname.
Second case.
I have a name saved called Prathmesh, my dialer always fails to show it. I dial 77284, it shows other relevant search results but not this and when I type next digit, no results at all. In the frequent updates of Google dialer phone app, after one particular update, it started searching but after next update again stopped. This is one example, I can give more.
Third case.
It doesn't search from unsaved numbers. Suppose I vaguely remember I had received a call from a number which had 5555 at last but couldn't exactly remember, there is no way I could find using Google dialer.

Thanks for app suggestion buddy.
It solved almost all of my problems.
Now I can search the way I want, can record calls, and possibly can store unlimited logs.
Thanks a ton again.

I was happy with the app but now call recording isn't working.
I have been using drupe dialer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.drupe.app&hl=en_US&gl=US) for many years to address exactly the problems that you have mentioned. You can give it a try. But here also, the inbuilt call recorder is not working with Pixel 4a. It used to work with my older Oneplus X.
