I have at&t, without a data plan, and am obviously using the g1, i wanted to know if there is an app or soemthing that would allow me to download recived mms messages so that i can see them, or a way to get them to my computer so i can download and see them? any ways??
Can anyone tell me how to disable Googlevoice from updating in background
i disabled the sync in background but it still does it, the only way to disable it is if i disable background sync for everything but then that keeps me from using the market, i asked this elsewhere but no one seems to be able to answer it
I'm unaware of a way to disable Google Voice sync. It should initially sync after install within a matter of seconds. You mean you don't want to be notified of any new texts or voicemails? I don't see why you would want that, but you may just have to uninstall the application to avoid that, not entirely sure.

i have all my texts come in an sms cause i have unlimited texting but only 200mb of data, everytime a text comes in it also gets updated on GV which i dont want since its eating my data
For some reason, Voice Search has been active on my phone for a few days now. I am not able to terminate it, even with ATKiller. Any ideas how to remove this stupid service?
uninstall the app, if it came with your rom it might be a system app if so,
search " uninstall system app "
it sucks at names from your contact list but it is AWESOME at inputting text into emails and text messages. faster than swipe. but do what you want..
Does anyone else get this...
Phone will occasionally lose voicemail number, and Twitter settings.
Are these settings stored in the SQL lite database?
Does anyone know the cause of this problem.
Thanks.

Do you have an auto kill apps installed?
These are great little apps to free up memory and battery, but then it could end up killing feature you need... if you do take a look at the list of apps and process's that it is scheduled to kill then either look at the permissions and usage of that app/process and any suspect remove from the que.
This is my first thought of loosing settings anyway.

Its essentially just like Google Voice but uses your own AT&T number with voicemail, texting, mms, and missed call notifications.
Just loaded it... be weary, looks like it take some time to sync and begin... its not as quick as GV either
do you see any obvious advantages? other than being able to use your own number
EDIT: installed it, nice app. i like it
Backup and review of all messages on the cloud. Slightly safer than Google.

tried it right now and here is my thoughts on it
Pros: You are able to text from your computer using YOUR number and not the number that google has given you. Also if you dont have a signel on your phone you are still able to text from your computer, this also goes if you dont have your phone with you but you are still at a computer. Its an all in one system were you can get your text and voicemail in one place
cons: For some reason i cant get the website to load my messages but that could be just me, at this moment you cant disable notifications, not that much customization
i feel that it can be a great app given more time to improve on it but for right now i installed it tried it and uninstalled it because google voice is still better
Took a couple hours but it started working super smoothly. I don't like how it handles missed calls so now I use the messaging app for texts and what not and Google voice for voicemail.
Sometimes tthe messages don't sync but a force kill and app restart fixes it.

does this require a texting plan? currently I block all texts to and from my phone and just use GV, does this use data only for texts? I'm guessing AT&T wouldn't be that stupid...
it requires data and text but the data doesnt count unless you have a 4g plan (for now). just texts at some point. says so in the fine print.

after you sync, give it a couple hours to settle (youll know when you only get notifications for the att app and not from the Android Messaging app).
Does this cost money to use like at&t navigator, at&t music, etc?

Great timing for this app. I was debating purchasing a DeskSMS license but this is a good alternative.
this app is weird. i was kind of hoping for an app to sit in my sys tray so that i could see my texts from there and reply, like any other instant messaging app. This app requires you to log in to a clunky website to send and receive texts. the notifier app only tells you that you have messages.
It is clunky. Also expired my VM. ATT guy had no idea about the app or what it does and couldn't answer why the VM was expired. Seems that this app sets up another VM or sorts. Not crazy about the notifications either as they don;t seem to update when on the conversation...I dunno. Deleted it per the ATT service rep...funny really as one section has no idea what the other is doing.
I just get a message that says it can't complete the setup and I should contact AT&T support...
After you install the app and activate the service, this will change your voicemail retrieval number. If you used to call from another line to check your VM, you will need to call a different number from now on. Of course you also get Visual VM now.
I coud not access my mailbox, I was getting a prompt saying that my mailbox was not found, until I realized about this change. I fixed it by updating the call forwarding setting, under Android settings > call settings.
Tried it and don't like it. "Messages" app seems to take up a lot of RAM as well as battery. Made my phone a little laggy at times as well. How do I get my OLD voicemail back? I hate calling and having to enter my PIN # every single time to check messages. I used to be able to just click the notification icon and it'd go right through. Any help would be appreciated.
I had to call ATT to have the VM reset. It turned in to an hour long process with the ATT guy calling me back 3 times.
Edit..I take that back PIN still isn't working.
the app tells you that your voicemail will change. Its not a surprise by any means. If you want to change back your voicemail just ask that the give you basic voicemail. Takes two minutes. Just don't forget to set your greeting.
