Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I'm pretty sure as of monday 10/26 tmobile only has myfave's for grandfathered in plans. The new plans even more and even more plus no longer have them.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

That's strange because ATT just recently added the A-List which is a competing product?

Hello,
If you could send one to me jpaulwhite@gmail.com that would be great! If you have an extra, send to whiteslimo@gmail.com as well. Thanks!

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I use an Iowa t-mobile affiliate. For an extra $5 a month I have free incoming calls, so with the data plan (which I wanted anyways, allows access to dialcentral or the google voice website) I essentially have unlimited outgoing minutes as well. :)

So unlimited data, incoming, outgoing calls for $45/month. It would be a good deal with they had 3G in the area. >:|

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Ok,
Now that I have my N900 and am playing with it, where's the google voice stuff in here? Just like the original post here, I thought it was all over the place in the call types you could do, but it's gone? Any ideas?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

No idea as I don't have the phone. As stated in the OP, and in early video's we all saw GV in contact's section.

Just like the original post I didn't say it was absolute that GV would be in the N900. If Nokia took it out, they took it out--we've all seen the videos showing GV in contacts, so it's not some kind of conspiracy with just your N900, les... :p

Run GV from your browser, Wave runs fine and that's more intensive then Voice. Setup your visual voicemail as per the instructions, with transcription via email or text that way you have visualvoicemail, then try Voice directly from the browser and tell us how it responds.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

There's an app called DialCentral in the repos. You can setup GV with that.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I hope once someone has more SA on this, they can post a youtube link to a video to help others. ;)

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

If I ever get my N900, I'll make a YouTube vid.

Tried ordering it again via Nokia and again for a second time my Centurion is declined, even though funds were taken out and no problem on the Amex end.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

In any promotional things I did not notice anything about GV integration. I am the maintainer of Dialcentral and that is available in testing form only for the n900. Contact me or join the discussion on the Dialcentral thread if you are willing to take the risks of enabling premature software by enabling testing.

I am working on another project called The One Ring which is GV integration for the n900. It is still in heavy development and not ready for any use outside of debugging. I hope to have it ready for testing within the month.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

About Visual Voice Mail.

This is one of my favorite features - the only challenges is I want it to be client based - eg the voice files live on the device itself. I used to use a service called callwave which would send them to you as an MMS or Email, with a voice transcript, caller info in the subject field (with the file attached). then i could listen to it at my leisure w/ or w/o a signal, and not have to wait for it to load ota.

Does anyone know if this service exists? I have searched on google and this site.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Thanx! There is so much NEW on this device, it would be easy to blur some things. Thanx again for the clarification!

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

for now, the only reliable GV option is SIP for calls and push Nokia messaging for forwarded messages

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

@christexaport which SIP setting do u use for Gv?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Early marketing videos as well as videos from the '300', we saw quite a few with a GV section in contacts ( not saying that means automatic integration ), as well as using GV in browser ( again not saying automatic integration ). You also have to remember we were basing everything off of early prototypes as well as the '300' when everything was typed up. We were hoping since Skype was already coming with the phone, GV would also be integrated within the device.

This entire guide was written before the final device came out, and at no time did I assure that GV was a for sure thing that would definitely be in the device... I don't wanna sound rude, but people need to read 'clearly' that I said it could be in their or could just be nothing.

Thanks for the head's up on your programs for GV, the more it's integrated the better.

Yeah, GV already does the SMS and email thing, but it would be cool if you could access the GV voicemail page directly from the desktop of the phone via a gadget or w/e, since everything is organized by date, time, as well as having it transcribed along with an audio file. Hmmm....interesting project.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Is there a way to integrate google voice's free sms into the threaded conversationa on the n900? I was thinking about somehow using google talk but couldnt figure it out. Does anybody have any ideas? I dont lke spending 20 bucks a month on unlimited texts.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

From earlier in the thread:

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

That is great news, and very much appreciated!
can't wait to see the package available in extras-devel

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

i am using gvmax (www.gvmax.com) to forward my texts to google talk. this integrates them nicely into the "conversations" app and allows you to call the person via GV right from "conversations."

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

That scares me, giving my username/password to a third party.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

you don't. he installs an app to your google app engine account. i'm not sure how exactly it works but he just made it open source, for those interested.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

My cursory look didn't suggest that. Its still disconcerting to have this login thing on the page
http://www.gvmax.com/lite/

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Also, where might I find the source, I don't see any reference to that?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I'm sorry for not specifying but GVMax Pro is the version that doesn't require giving out your credentials -- unlike GVMax Lite. Pro is a one time $25 fee. And as far as the open source goes, he just sent this email which explains new features not yet advertised on the site:

<email>A new version of GVMax (4-0-0) has been released to existing customers (not yet publicly released).

This is a major upgrade that contains many new features which I hope you will like.
Here are some of the major new features:

- Voicemail notifications
You can now get notifications of new voicemails in much the same way you get SMS notifications.
These notifications show the Google transcribed text for the voicemail, as well as providing a
link to a recording of the voicemail.

- Make GoogleVoice calls from within your IM program
In a chat window simply type 'ggc' to initiate a GoogleVoice call to the GVMax contact you are chatting with.
Alternatively type 'ggc {number}' to call the given number via GoogleVoice

- Bulk SMS sending
You can now send an SMS to a group of people.
The members of the group are derived from your GoogleContacts groups.
You can do this from within the IM program and/or via email

- Better error handling and logging

- OpenSource
As of this version GVMax is open source. Hopefully this will get more people involved in adding new features etc.

- Check out the User Manual (a link in the application) for full details of all features.

If you were already using version 3-0-0 then your application should have been upgraded automatically. For those of
you who are still on 2-1-0 I will be contacting you directly with instructions on how to upgrade.

Last week Google released a new version of their SDK and that has introduced some instability to their platform for
applications running on older versions. This meant I have had to bring forward the release of 4-0-0 and
unfortunately have not quite finished polishing it (expect another minor release in a week or so).

The one thing I have not had time to do so far and which might be of interest is how to setup your application
to receive voicemail notifications. Here is what you need to do

In the same way that you created an email filter on your GMail account to forward SMS to your application so will
you need to do for voicemail.

1- Login to GMail
2- Click on 'Settings' (top right of screen)
3- Click on 'Filters' tab
4- Click on 'Create a new filter'
5- In the 'From' box type: voice-noreply@google.com
6- Press the 'Next Step' button
7- Select the 'Forward it to' checkbox and type: vm@{appname}.appspotmail.com (replacing {appname} with your application name).
8- If you don't want a copy of the original email from Google then select the 'Delete It' checkbox
9- Press the 'Create Filter' button

I am hoping to create a screencast detailing this soon, in the mean time feel free to contact me if
you run into problems with this.</email>

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

That sounds great! That can be a great service to a lot of people. I also look forward to see the code to see if there is anything more I can learn about how to communicate with Google Voice.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

The code is located here: http://code.google.com/p/gvmax
I hope it's beneficial!
Hani, the developer, has done a great job with this and I'm excited about his further development.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

So Google released a web app for google voice today (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/g...-as-a-web-app/) that can be accessed at m.google.com/voice. The problem is that when I access the page it takes me to the same page I see on my pc (http://www.google.com/mobile/more/). Can someone please figure out how to access this app just like accessing Google Latitude on the N900.

Thanks,
MT

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I smell a conspiracy . . . lol :eek:

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

if you install the HideUserAgent app from the app manager, you can set your browser to use the iphone's user agent:

5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16

however, it doesn't render very well at all in MicroB.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Have you tried FF? It might be incredibly slow like everything else from Google on FF, but would be interesting...

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I've tried FF and it doesn't work either. If anyone figures out how to use the iphone app please post it.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Has anyone been able to confirm that leaving the normal Caller ID on, with Google Voice, does or does not use T-Mobile minutes if you have a Grandfathered MyFaves plan, with your GV number as a fav?


Anyone?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

it renders fine if you use the android user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

It use to be that if you left the normal caller ID on it wouldn't use minutes (if you had your GV # in your Fav 5). However, it seems TMobile changed it a while back (sometime last Winter) so now you have to change the setting to display the GV # to use the Fav 5 unlimited minutes.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

So the Android string now gives you a "Download from Android Market" message, and iPhone string results in messed up no usable page. Anyone have any other solutions?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

maybe you copied the string incorrectly. the page i get is simplified to html and organized differently it isnt an HTML5 layout. but i definitely get to the voice page, no android market business.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

Thank you very much. Does anyone know of a Data Only plan on T-Mobile? I have SIP working really well on my N800, and GVMax takes care of all my texts. So, all I would need on the N900 is steady 3G.

Anything better than paying $50+ for the minimum minutes + MyFaves + Smartphone Data plan?


Edit: Found a $39.99 unlimited data plan. No voice plan required.

Edit 2: While talking to T-Mobile, they told me that my phone ONLY qualifies for the $10 Unlimited Internet. So I am now paying $39.99 for 300 minutes + MyFaves and $10 for Unlimited Data. I have been using SipSorcery + G5 + GV to make calls flawlessly. I was originally using GVMax to have free SMS. But I am now testing out the Google Voice integration. Everything is going pretty well so far.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

When I call my call my google voice number, GV forwards my call back to me. I am trying to call Canada. Google Voice doesn't ask me to enter '2' to input out going number. Calling to Canada is free. How do I do this in Nokia n900?

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

This is a google voice question, not a N900 question.

Re: N900 and Google Voice Guide
 

I finally got selected to get Google Voice (sorry, no invites to pass along) but I had a devil of a time getting the calls to properly forward. Following the onscreen steps was easy, and my phone was registered with google voice. But actually getting the calls to go to Google voice proved to be more difficult. At first I figured it was just a matter of "bouncing" my voicemails using the call forwarding function in settings>phone, but its not that simple. Instead, one needs to send the call forwarding command (prefix *004* on T-mobile).

I've updated to PR 1.2, but i got an error message when I tried to send the command. After some vigourous googling (hehe) I found that I needed to add a little command to the call-ui.ini file in the /home/user/.osso folder.

Navigate to that file, open it in the text editor of your choice and simply add:

[supplementary]
ssc=1

(you did make a backup of the original file just in case, right?)
Just to be on the safe side, I rebooted the n900 and then tried sending the command again (*004*GVnumber#). The first time, I think my reception wasn't very good, but the command went through on the second try. I still cannot just hit "voicemail" to get to Google voice, but i have GV set as its own contact with a shortcut on my desktop.

Meme, are you calling your new Google number, or the Google Voice number (the one that functions as your new voicemail) If you call in to the voice mail, once you enter your pin you can hit 2 for calling out again. i believe the "google number" is essentially like a forwarding number that will ring any associated phones.
