Its weird I can send gTalk messages, and can run the sync in settings but it wont update my gmail. I test sent my self a message from my phone and it wont send Its said sending for the past 4 hours and if I scroll down it tries to load older messages and gets stuck. It keeps saying no connection.
Any Ideas?
Tried a hard reset and a soft and a three button reboot. Cant figure this one out.
Did you try both in wifi and 3g? Also do you have that option in astro to enable download of zips checked? That may also be the problem

Ok I was able to resolve it by clearing the data and cache for gmail and gmail storage. I went through my actions and discovered there is a limit to how many pictures we can attach to an email or it will cause this problem. The only way to fix it is to clear the data. I can send up to chunks of ten 5mp pictures without it stalling the gmail app. Hope this helps someone else.
Anyone have a recommendation for sending sms messages over wifi?
TIA.

How are you guys achieving this? I have GV installed and signed in with my cell number. That's as far as I can figure it out. Please help! I'd love to be able to text from this tablet. Thanks in advance.

well crap, i think i replied in the wrong thread.. doohhh.. hahaha
anywho, go to your contacts, click on their pic you should see a slew of icons, one of which should be a google voice bubble (a bubble with a phone in it) click on it, and then pick which number you'd like to send a text to .. It may ask you which program you'd like to use, but i can't remember..
I can't speak for everyone else, but I had an update for GV in the market and after the update I went thru login process and SMS worked

Bummer. I don't see that icon on any of my contacts. Poop.
I'll try installing it again tonight. I'm going to flash Vegan B3... I think. Running TnT 2.2 now. Maybe it's an issue with that ROM.
Re-install for success
I was having no success with GV and then I went on the app market and install it from there and now I can send SMS messages from my Google Voice account. Running TnT-Lite 2.2.1
I posted this problem as well on the voice thread on general theme.
I installed .3 google voice. I got to the final set up screen where it wants to verify my phone number. When I hit next, it says "We have a problem, your phone number could not be verified. please try again"
When it asked for my user name and password, I put in the email address and pass word that is linked to google account that I set up google voice with (it is not a gmail account, but a yahoo email address) I can access it fine from google.com/voice by putting in those same credentials, but when i go through setup on the tablet and it comes to the part about verifying the phone number, I get the we have a problem screen
What can I do different?
Thanks

Just update Google voice from the market. The new one just works now without having to replace the old with 0.3 and all that.

I originally tried the one from market and it FC each time I tried to run it. I removed it with the remove applications removal tool in settings and installed this otherone. It loads, opens and allows me to put in my email address and password associated with my only google voice account, but it stops on the phone number verification process.
Thanks for your help
EDIT: Just tried again to install from market. This time when it gets to verify phone number, instead of the error popping up, it gives me a FC... the same as when I tried it before.
Try signing up for google voice on a pc or via the web first. Use any phone number that you have access to immediately to verify the number then simply install google voice from the market. It should just work. Skip the part about cell phone voicemail if asked.
Still no luck on my end. I un-installed the update (in settings), then wiped and un-installed via Titanium Backup, then rebooted. After boot I downloaded and installed from the market. Went through the setup process. Rebooted again. Still no option to SMS when I click on a contact picture. Ideas?

I've been using textPlus. Works pretty good!
Can you get to the google voice inbox? If so, press menu and select compose. start typing the name and then pick the persons name and cell and send txt that way. If you can't get the inbox then you have some other problem.
Do you have the google voice configured with a mobile number? Maybe that is it.

I'm in the inbox. In menu, all I see is Refresh, Labels, Balance, Search, Settings, and Help.
Also, it is build number: 0.4.2.13, if that matters.
And additionally, I just flashed Vegan b3, if that matters.
Hello.
I was having trouble with the facebook notifications not working in 1.5.2.
I tried to uninstall/install the app
Clear cache
Installed 1.5.0
Re-flash ROM
etc etc etc...
And nothing worked.
I logged with a friends Facebook account in my Captivate and Push notifications were working !!
I re-logged to with my account and notifications still not working, so WTF?
So I started to mess around with the Facebook settings, privacy etc, and nothing helped to receive push notifications...
Until I deactivated my account and re-activated, and now I have notifications back! Is like a hidden setting in facebook that tells if push notifications are enable/disable, and after re-activating my account in some way is restores it, no idea but is working now...
If you have this problem, give it a try!
To deactivate: Account->Account Settings->Deactivate Account
To Activate: just log in.
Best Regards
Trying it now ... I've tried everything else... hope this works ...
EDIT: HOLY MONKEYS BATMAN IT WORKED! I'VE HAD MY DINC FOR 7 MONTHS NOW, WITH PROBABLY 12 DIFFERENT ROMS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER EVER WORKED! Thankyou!
Details:
I just flashed the newest version of Magnolia with Clockwork 3.x. Clean slate wipe (other than sd).
I deleted the old version of fb that came with the rom (just from the app list in settings), cleared all data from that....DID NOT set up facebook for HTC Sense when doing original setup of phone right after reflash.....
Logged onto FB from my pc, deactivated, waited until I got the email, then logged in again.
DL latest FB from the market and set it up, asked someone to comment on a status, and voila, fb started notifying me EVERY TIME someone did, not just every 30 mins like the settings show...
YAYAYAYAY!! I'm so happy now! I'm gonna pass the word along.
Thank you!
Did it work for you?
Yes - see above edited post!
Or just log in to fb, register phone and check boxes to receive SMS alerts. Faster than the 1 hour intervals.

My notifications are popping up in real-time. The only thing that goes once hourly is messages or friend requests, as far as I can tell. I'm watching my facebook on my computer and my phone alerts me nearly at the same moment my pc does.
umm... ??
deactivate my facebook account? message posted day before april fools day...
something doesnt add up
You can do that without deleting your profile. I hear of people deactivating it everytime they log off for privacy concerns. When deactivated you dont show up on any of your friends pages or searches. Just log on to reactivate, you'll get an email welcoming you back.
you dont loose anything?
Nope. Not that I know of. Check out cnn story. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-12/...ngs-new-facebook-facebook-accounts?_s=PM:TECH

Can you help me?
I cant deactivate account as there is a business page attached with some development app attached.
Is there a modified app I could try?
DesktopSMS forwards all your incoming SMS on your *Android Phone* to your Gmail to GTalk.
You can then reply to the chat request or email, and the response will be sent back from your phone as a text message. This is very similar to Google Voice, except you won't need a new number or anything annoying like that!
http://app.net/desktopsms
Installation:
1) Install DesktopSMS on your ANDROID PHONE. (Not onto your XOOM)
2) Login to Desktop SMS on your ANDROID ****PHONE****.
3) Install a Chat client like Google Talk (which may already be on your XOOM) onto your XOOM or desktop PC.
4) Receive a text. Watch as your text gets converted to an email and google chat message
5) Respond!
So, once again, this app is only installed on your phone. Then just install your favorite IM client on your desktop and tablet, and the rest will work magically!
You do not need to install this on both your phone and tablet like other apps. You do not need to be on the same network like other apps. This all works by magic (my servers).
Let me know what you think. This is in a free beta right now, so be prepared for some bugs! I'd love to hear your feedback.
Wrote you a PM
well, I don't have a smart phone so thats a problem.
I, like many others, have ditched their smartphomes and activated their xooms. I now only have a dummy phone. I didn't see a need in paying for two data plans because I ws rarey using my phone. Now I use it to talk and text.... even though I wish it was only to talk.
I am waiting for the day that I can SMS on my Xoom using my current phone number. Guess I'll jabe to keep waiting. lol
Works awesome...just had a conversation with myself, through gtalk. Hahaha havnt tried it with my xoom yet. But im pretty sure it will work just fine. Very good job
It looks great but I cannot seem to get it to work yet, Mr. Koush. I have it signed it with push notifications successfully on my gmail account on my OG Droid. I can do the test message from within the app and it pops up on my phone like always, but other than that it does nothing on my Xoom, or on anything else for that matter. It seems almost like the push notifications are not even being sent out.
EDIT: I found out what the problem was. I had the default messaging app totally disabled, as I am using Handcent SMS as a complete replacement to the default one. I would like to use Handcent SMS instead of the default one. I know its beta and I cannot wait for updates!

I had that same "issue" so thanks for posting the solution. User error as usual
Is there a way to make the contact name show up or will we need to add these email addresses to our contacts? Thanks and awesome job!

It looks like after you receive your first text from that person after you accepted the "chat invite" on your Gtalk account it syncs up with your current contact list automatically. It shows the phone number on the left side of the screen under your gmail account, but in the chat window it shows that contacts name in parenthesis.
This ofcourse is for if you are using the Xoom with Gtalk, such as myself. I haven't tried anything else yet.
Could it be that the contacts NAME will be in the gtalk LIST instead of phonenumber ?
OK, being a bit thick here.
I'm using GoSMS Pro, but as far as I know, the default messaging app is still active, just without any notifications... does this make a difference?
Not currently receiving any notifications in email or g-talk... :/

Are u signed in in the app? The first time the app froze, i had to go back into it and sign in.
Just tested it with my xoom and it works great.
Looking for a little help, I have the app installed on my HTC desire HD, and it will forward the text to my gmail and talk, but when I reply nothing happens. Am i missing something, I've triedreplying through talk and gmail, and nothing from both.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Peace

*edit* update took care of it, never mind.
@Koush
I am having an issue getting the app to try it out. When I tell the system to send me a link, it does, but it sends me a link for the link request page again. It does not send me a link to the actual app.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Shouldn't browse until I had my coffee.

Is it possible that your push servers are blocked in China?
I can correctly Login with Google Account, but get an error on 'registering with push server....' (takes long and eventually times out)
Error message: "Login failed. Please check your password. If the error persists, please send a log to the developer"
here is a log... maybe it helps analyze why i can't connect with the push servers...
Ok, it's just updated, and when I go to send a test SMS, it brings up
The application GoSMS was found installed. If you do not recieve a text message, please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that's cool, then I send the test. GoSMS then pops up the text, as it always does.
However, it still doesn't appear to be sending me an email.
When it says "please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings", does it mean the default Messaging app?
I've tested by disabling the taskbar notification for GoSMS and re-enabling it for the default Messaging app, but even then, there is no sound nor visual cue that an SMS has arrived... is this why it's not working? Has GoSMS broken my default messaging app?

My email app is set to check the server every 15 minutes for messages but it is not doing it. The only way I can get email is if I manually push the sync button. What gives? Also, when I reply to an email, every word is capitalized and it's annoying. It's Like I Am Typing Like This. Is this phone a joke?

Do you have background data turned on? How about auto sync? What email app are you using? Stock rom?
Sent from my Thrill 4G using Tapatalk
Stock ROM. Phone is only a few days old. Auto Sync is on. Background Data is on. Using the program just called "EMAIL" that was on the phone. I think there is something else going on too. When the phone is idle, and charging with the supplied cord and plug, it takes 8+ hours to charge from 5% to full.
The capitalizing problem is an issue with Swype Keyboard. Doesn't happen with other keyboards, only Swype in the stock email program.
Could maybe a task manager or app manager be killing the email service?
Is there any way to fix the Swype capitalizing problem in the stock email program? I've tried SlideIt and a couple other keyboards.
