Does anyone know a solution to this? I get my voicemail emailed to me in .wav files which I could previously listen to on my phone running Wp7. Now running Wp8 on my Lumia 920 whenever I download and open one it says "Sorry, we can't play this file on your phone".
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix/workaround?
Any help at all is appreciated.

I have the same issue. I'm searching for a link to submit a bug report to MS for this.
.WAV Compatibility Issues on WP8
Got the same problem but on the Nokia Lumia 820. I thought it may have been something wrong with the new phone so I forwarded the voicemail to my wife's phone, also a Lumia 820, and I received the exact same error. Similar to other folk's threads on MS' WP8 support sight, I too never experienced any issues with accessing .wav files on my much older Windows Phone 7 device (with the 7.5 update installed).
The issue in particular is that the .wav files represent voicemails that are recieved as attachements on emails. My particular problem is with two seperate voice systems, Siemens OpenScape Voice and Vonage VoIP. Niether offer any alternative voicemail formats. Other folks are also having the issues with voice platforms from Mitel, Cisco, Avaya, etc accross all WP8 devices.
The forum is over at: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpmusic/i-get-my-voicemails-emailed-to-me-in-a-wav-file/603a0d71-01c0-432b-815b-1f1737ad2ff6
and the MVP Community Moderator has promised to escalte the issue. I've also submitted a trouble ticket directly to MS.
I hope there's a fix.... since accessing these files is extraordinarily important when I’m on the road travelling.
Ditto on ".wav attachments
Same problem when i try to open attachment from my email message. If i copy the attachment from my PC and transfer (Copy / Paste) to my Lumia 920, a temp message pops up saying the file is being converted. Then when i open that converted file on my lumia it plays properly. Probably will be awhile before this is fixed.
Yeah this is pretty frustrating. Nothing like having a feature taken away without you realizing. Can you share the link for posting a trouble ticket to MS so that we can all chime in?
Same issue here with voicemessages from a siemens hipath, no more playback
Interesting, I don't have this problem. I get my voicemails at work sent to me in an email as wav attachments. It's an exchange account and I have no problems playing it back on L920. Good luck you guys.

Dear Santa, I want a windows 8 phone that can play wave files. My windows 7 phone did. Maybe you can have a chat with the big man at Microsoft this year.
Thanks
Ok, for me, the problem is solved, changed the wav header in the hipath

What do you mean?
It's the codec used in some voicemail systems that's the case problem. MS is acutely aware of this, I'd expect an update to fix at some point...

Still no fix for this? My office just upgraded and switched to ShoreTel system last week, one of the main reasons was to be able to receive voice mails remotely on our mobile devices. And I was on the phone committee! Implemented on Friday, and now I learn that I can't listen to the voice mail messages emailed to me as .wav file? You have to be kidding, but no joke.
I've relentlessly advocated WP to my partners, and worked to upgrade our phone system. Now the 3 of us who are using WP8 (the HTC 8X) are the only ones who can't get their voice mails. Very frustrating.

Have you talked to Microsoft about this?
We know about it. I'd say it's quite likely to get fixed but no idea when...

Is it possible to send my Business Card via SMS?
Well, my mate sent me a VCard from his K750i the other week, and my 2i received it as a plain old text message - but it shows the raw formatting.
This is what it looked like:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Add;Big
TEL;CELL:07123456789
X-IRMC-LUID:000200000059
END:VCARD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Obviously I've replaced his mobile number with a made-up one, but the rest of the formatting is as I received it.
I guess the X-IRMC-LUID is some form of unique identifier, I'm assuming that it's tied to the handset model or something. I also guess that, THEORETICALLY, if you just copy and paste that text into a new text file (keeping the formatting), replace the example phone number with your own, if you sent that as a text message to someone with a phone supporting Business Cards, it would probably show it as a business card and give the recipient the usual options (add to address book, etc).
You might want to experiment further by asking (nicely) someone with a Nokia phone to send one of their numbers, maybe your own, to yourself as a Business Card - you could then just keep that text message and just forward it to others.
Ok, so it's not ideal, but it's a probably-workable bodge that I'd be quite happy with.
There are a number of programmes out there that will add this functionality...
Used to have one on my xda 3 or 4 hard-resets ago that worked fine but no ideas which it was !
Try googling "ppc sms vcard" or something like that...
Here's one I found fairly quickly... Not sure how good it is !

PLease i just realised that i was still getting charged for sending text messages, even though i have tha total intertnet plan from tmobile.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a program that would let me send text messages bypassing the cellular network, and using my internet,(be it wifi or edge or gprs) to carry the messages.
Kinda like when you use your computer to send texts to phones, is there a program for windows mobile?
thank you in advance
I believe there are a few websites out there to send messages with, tmobile used to have a public SMS application, however I am unsure of any method of "relaying" an SMS message through the included pocket outlook sms handler to one of those sites transparently.
thank you. I still will be awaiting answers.

one approach might be to use an email server to bounce the messages to sms email addresses.
say you use the email side of the messaging app, either through synching to exchange or through a pop, imap or whatever, and point the email at the sms address, I forget what the tmobile address is, but for example it would be like [email protected]
I guess that semi solves the problem without any programming, you would just need each carrier's email address, and specify a return address that would go to your phone for when they SMS back.

previous:H6315(hell in gadget form), Tmo original xda PPCPE.
CaptDistraction, you need to be creative about the 6315; I gave mine to my wife when I upgraded to to 8125. Got rid of the memory hogs and you can't imagine how our relationship has improved, we now talk about the same techy stuff; she complaing, I fixing by the way she no longer complains about how much time I spend with my phone, cause she's now doing the same. Now we have no time to talk to each other...... :twisted:

Haha, I tried every rom out there, I kept the device for a while and finally sold it to support the MDA purchase.
Man I messed with that 6315 to no end, had so much stuff going on with it trying different app combos, spent hours in the registry, no matter how simple I kept it, I couldn't ever get it to answer calls in a timely fashion.
My biggest love with the MDA is when you press that green answer button, it immediately picks up the call.
Ok I searched and didn't find anything so I'm posting here. Ok I purchased the program from iwindowsmobile.com called SMS chat. I like the program but for some reason it messed up my SMS messages. I would send some and they wouldn't send and also had problems receiving some. I uninstalled program and problems went away. I liked the program alot because of a clean interface but one thing I hated was that I would get weblinks sent to me from friends and the program did not allow me to copy the link or click on the link. I find that very annoying since people at work always send me links to different sites. Has anyone figured out a hack to get this working?
I am also going to add that I tried contacting the company, didn't work. I also tried to go into their FAQ section and there is no section. It keeps me at the same page. You would think copy and paste be something basic they'd include in the program.
Yeah..I use this app too. Those sms with links have to open through normal text messaging in the smschat folder, open normally and the link can be activated. Long way...emmm
i am also having issues with vito sms chat. im not sure if it is hardware or software related. it is only allowing me to send messages to one contact. whichever contact i select to message first, that is the only contact i can message. any others that i try to message after, it tells me "your text message cannot be sent" but when using the winMo sms, i have no issues. any ideas?
Hey guys the official Vito chat forumn for vito sms is found here: http://www.technologyatplay.com/main/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=165
Some or all your issues have been addressed at this link. I can definitely attest to the problem with opening links has been addressed. As you may be aware they're already on version 1.3 which has fixed quite a few issues. If your problem has not been addressed drop a line at the above address and within a day or two VitoI will answer your questions or at least address them
hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

Hello all,
I am currently using an astonishing Windows Phone 8 by HTC. So far, it's remarcable fine. I have one issue though and I would like to share it with you, guys.
I wanted to digitally sign the e-mail I am sending from my mobile device, but it seems that just installing the certificate is not enough. I had it saved in an e-mail as an attached file. I tried downloading the file and installing it.
I am able to send e-mail, I have checked the box that says "require SSL for send" and check the incomming as well.
Did I do something wrong ?
I would really appreciate your help.

Signing (or encrypting) mails in WP7/8 is currently or stil not possible. It´s not supported by the OS. Also if you receive a signed (S/MIME) mail you will not be able to open or to read the mail.
Hopefully MS will quick solve this issue....
Thank you for your reply! What a shame...
