[APP] vvm7 - Visual Voice Mail [R] 04/19/11 16/06/11 [V] 1.8 (Orange/SFR/T-Mobile ok)
EDIT 6/6/11 with 1.7: now with T-MOBILE USA compatibility !!!! read after
Thanks thesecondsfade for huge testing
Hi @ll,
here is my new contribution to the WP7 world
1. Title : VVM7 - a Visual Voice Mail
2. What it is for?
This app lets you get, listen, and manage your voice mail in a visual app (instead of calling your voice mail number).
You must know that kind of app if you already owned an iPhone, or Android, depending of course of your mobile operator.
3. Why homebrew?
Homebrew because currently the WP7 SDK doesn't allow to use some functions (the most important for my app is socket). So i use a hack (that can't pass certification marketplace), thanks to Jeremia Morrill
4. So what is inside?
For the moment, you can :
- get yours voice mails (and sync with the operator server)
- tap on a item to show details, and play button to listen
or
- double tap an item to automatically play the message
- delete a message
- call, send sms, save (to the calling number)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First, the setup:
- install the app
- go to settings, and put the server, port, login and password
- go to "Inbox", and clic the right button to refresh data
CURRENT STATUS:
Orange (France) :OK
SFR (France) : OK
T-MOBILE : OK
Sprint : tests in progress (I need Sprint server configuration. If you have any information, give us!)
CONFIGURATION:
In most of the cases, visual voice mail is an option in your mobile plan. You need some information to make my app works, with a simple SMS. Simply send a text (in CAPITAL letters) to a number and wait for the answer.
BUT the answer is class 0 sms, and it seems that WP7 doesn't show them. So :
1. Use an old phone, no smartphone (because iPhone, Android seem to hide the SMS too).
2. Depending of your operator (remove quotes and type the text in capital letters):
- ORANGE france: SMS with text "STATE" to 21101
- SFR france: SMS with text "TEST" to 8860
- T-MOBILE USA : SMS with text "Activate:dt=6" to 122. In app, for authentication mode, use DIGEST-MD
And write down login (param like user= ***** or u=******), the password (param like pw=******) and so on for server url and port (must be 143)
3. Launch vvm7 and go to settings, type what you've noted before. Go to mailbox and press the sync button (top right)

- and a lot more, check http://www.bebtech.fr/dev/wp7/projects/vvm7/xap/CHANGELOG.txt (in french only)

Reserved for myself

Great... I'm waiting for it for a while
Do you need some help ?
Sébastien

Yes some help would be appreciate. You can easilly try the app, and report any problem.
If you can develop:
- I'm looking how to catch sms (class 0 or flashsms) to get parameters automatically, and check for new messages (the server send sms when a new message is available)
- I'm looking for multitask, so I can check for new messages in background

Whoa, this looks awesome. Great work. I'll be following your progress.

It accesses your carrier's voicemail directly? IE: T-Mobile USA?

For now it works with Orange France, that's the only one operator that I know parameters.
If you can search for yours operator config, I will try to update my app, make change for it. Can you have a look and report here? thank you in advance.
@djcedric: yes that's a good idea, I will contact Julien ;-)

can you try this? I found it with a google search on "T-Mible USA vvm server parameters"
To start, turn off Wi-Fi. You can only connect to the voicemail IMAP server over operator (3G, Edge, ...) connexion.
Make sure you have the Visual Voicemail service activated on your account (go to http://m.web2go.com/dsb/vvmupsell from Safari)
Send the following SMS message to the number "122": "Activate:dt=6" (without quotes)
You will receive a response from "129" that looks like this: Code:
//VVM:STATUS:st=R;srv=vvm.tmomail.net;ipt=143;u=##########@vms.eng.t-mobile.com;pw=#######;rc=0;lang=1|2|3|4;g_len=180;vs_len=10;pw_len=4-7
Note your username (u=) and password (pw=), server (srv=) and port (ipt=)
But under WP7, that kind of sms are not shown, in my case. Please try with your phone and an old one if you have one (no iPhone nor Android, same case as WP7).

I don't get a text response after sending the Activate:dt=6 command to 122.

Ok but did you try on WP7 or an old phone? Moreover, I think visual voice mail is an option, so it depends of your operator. But in my case, if I don't have the option enabled, the sms response "tell" that service is unavailable.

I was on my WP7. I'll try it again later from my old dumbphone.

It worked. Here is the response I got:
//VVM:STATUS:st=R;srv=vvm.tmomail.net;ipt=143;u=##########@vms.eng.t-mobile.com;pw=########;rc=0;lang=1|2|3|4;g_len=180;vs_len=10;[email protected]@@
After it says "Connexion au surveur", it says, 'Identification'... with a button "Annuler" (I assume this means 'cancel'). It hangs on 'Identification' and doesn't do anything unless I hit the Annuler button, in which case it just cancels out. I used 143 as the port. Maybe that was wrong.
Would it be possible to translate to English?

I will work on translation this week. Hope for a new version maybe on friday.
Port is good (you have ipt=143). Be sure to not have make on error with login and password (I think you have to take the whole words, so for login with [email protected] the login box have to be set to [email protected])
Moreover, with my operator, you can't access vvm server with wifi network. you HAVE to use cellular network (3G, Edge, ...), because there is restriction during authentification. please have a look too.
And because I'm using a hack to get access to socket in code, the update process is a little bit slow, be patient

I have the full phone number plus @vms.eng.t-mobile.com. I tried entering the password again, no luck. I even used NoDo's copy and paste to put the password in to make sure I didn't mistype it (the message from 129 showed up after putting my SIM back into my HD7).
It still hangs on "Identification" and won't get past it. I let it attempt to connect for about 10 minutes and still no luck. I also double checked my T-Mobile account to make sure Visual Voicemail was turned on and it is.
Wifi is off and I'm not connected to Zune. Are you on NoDo too? What are those two additional options on the Settings page?

Yes I'm on NoDo too. I've had a few debug messages, and I will release a debug test version for you (that is based on v1.0, I need to update the topic too). I'll try to upload my work today, or tomorrow

@thesecondsfade
ok here a special version. Not all translation done, but the most important (during transfert). On settings page, don't care about the first two, but look at "Debug Mode". It's true by default (and doesn't saved when you quit). If you let it on, you'll have many debug messages during refresh. Have a try and report me debug texts.
download here http://www.bebtech.fr/dev/wp7/projects/vvm7/xap/VVM7%201.1debug.xap

Awesome! I'll check it out when I get home from work today and report back my findings.

Are you sure this is the right version? I don't see anything different in this version compared to the 0.7 version I have other than that there's a Beta message on the first start. There's no debug option and it doesn't look like any of it is translated to English like you said. Same issue and no debug messages as well. Just FYI.

damn really sorry, I think I compiled in debug mode but upload release !
So here is the good version, I've translated page title (messagerie->mailbox, paramètres->settings, ...)
Let me know

Phone search has a serious bug.

If you have a business phone number to enter into contacts, it seems that Phone search function will not find that entry without a person entered into the contact info.
Sometimes you don't have a name of a person - just a company or government office to contact. If you enter the name of the company (under "Add organization" as you should) and phone number (under "Phone"), when you search for the company name using the Phone's search function, it does not appear in the Phone search results.
The same error happens if you search for a word in the address fields (in case you just remember the street of a contact and search for the street name).
The Phone search function should search ALL fields of your contacts. You may only remember a street name, city, first name, last name or whatever. You should see all Contact entries that contain the word (or partial term) that you search for.
Now I know full well that people are people and that people make mistakes. But, even raising this as a bug over at the Android forums isn't getting any attention from Google. Why would Google (of all companies) ignore such a basic search bug?
I am using Nexus 4 with 4.2.2 installed. I'd be very interested in knowing if this bug affects other Android handsets as well.

That's Contact information, not Phone information. Try searching Contacts.

^^^what this person said, I just did an address search in contacts and it pulled up the proper contact^^^

Also take into account that the search feature had to be changed due to apple playing patent pansies so google had to redo how they did the search. This could have been a side effect of this.

That makes no sense whatsoever. All Contacts are viewable in your Phone app by clicking on the Contact symbol in the upper right corner of the phone.
The Contact list and the Phone contacts are the SAME LIST. There are not separate lists for Phone and People apps.
Searching for a contact (whether in the Phone app or Contact app) should search all contact text - no matter the field.

Just have to put in the area code first and it worked. You could try 3rd party dialers. The open source ones are limited until some one codes in more options.

What if you only remember the last 4 digits of the number?
I'm just saying that searching for a person/phone number from the Phone app should search every field in every contact entry on your phone.
The one exception that I might see would be to exclude all contacts with no phone number information. After all, what is the phone app going to do with a contact with no phone number? The only possible purpose for the phone to pull up contacts with no phone number would be to add a manually dialed number (or a new number shown by an incoming call) to an existing contact, and it already includes "Add to contact" in it's menu options.
This should be simple. Contacts are text files. NOT searching the whole text file or each contact just doesn't make sense.
I just wish I could get the attention of someone at Google. So far, still nothing after reporting the bug in the Android forums.

Hey my friend.
Hope you still reading these threads. I LOVE the app, tested it with the LITE version and it's perfect. So good that i was prepared to pay 5€ for it.
So i've bought it couple days ago, installed it and try to run it. LITE version worked without a problem(even on my very old phone Xiperia ARC), but the FULL one keeps telling me: "License error ..." and it closes itself immediately.
How can there be a LICESNSE error when i bought it legaly, trough Play Store and installed it trough it also.
Can you help me maybe? I need the FULL version function that sends message when my phone has low battery. That is why i bought it!
Thanky you my friend.

Note 5 Adding Text to Picture Messaging Issues

I am unable to add text when I select a picture to send in messaging. It only gives me the option to add the picture and then send it. Is anyone else having this issue? Also, if this is a known issue is there a way to resolve it?

Are you even doing this on a Note 5? It doesn't give you that option. Maybe you don't understand the OP's question. He's talking about sending a picture message. You can't send any text with the picture. Using the stock messaging app.
It could also be because of carrier. I have T-Mobile.

I figured it out. It will let you do it if you do it BEFORE you pick the recipient.

But on an existing group chat, I can't figure out how to do it without starting a new one.

Yes I have the AT&T note 5 and I can add text just like in your picture whether I go into an existing thread or start a new one. Just tried with my daughter and works fine here.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

This is correct. Always been that way, not just Note 5. You add text at bottom of picture (s).

Bryyyan, thank you for your help. This was so frustrating all day. People are posting the Note 4 was like this. No, it wasn't. I still have my Note 4 and now have the Note 5. I don't understand why you have to leave the recipient blank in order to add text. Also, as a result you can not go into the gallery and add the photo from there, as it forces you to pick a recipient then. You have to go into messages, click on blank message, and then add pic, then text. Super inconvenient. Thanks again!!

I have a note 5 and after reading this thread, I went and clicked on Phone >> Settings >> Voice over LTE Settings >> Selected Do not use VoLTE and now I can attach a picture message and then have the option to add text before sending.
Here is also an article of what the purpose of VoLTE is: ww w. an droidcentral.com/ volte-how-use-it-and-why-you-should

I think it is a version issue. I know of a guy who used Verizon (know think) who could not as text if he already had the recipient picked.

I have a note 5 and when i try to attach a pic to a text it only gives option to send, not attach, which sends photo without picture. When in gallery, choosing share in text message, it forces me to choose a contact, then sends pic without giving me the chance to write a text. Very frustrating!

[GUIDE] Read SMS Aloud & Respond by Voice When Connected to Car Bluetooth

I saw the other thread on reading aloud the SMS when connected to your vehicles Bluetooth and though I'd share mine for those who want to be able to respond by voice commands. I'm not trying to upstage that author, but giving other options.
Steps:
1. Wait 2.5 seconds to allow your text message tone to complete
2. Read sender and message body
3. Wait 1 second
4. Ask if you would like to reply
5. If "yes", it will ask you what you want to reply
6. Send message recorded by voice
I've uploaded the profile which includes the Task required for this to function.
You will need to edit the Profile "State" section to select the Bluetooth name in your vehicle. To do this, tap on the Profile and select the "State" that says "Connected to _____". Once in here, delete the one I've got selected and select the Bluetooth you want to activate this part of the Profile.
Hopefully this is useful to someone. Let me know if you have questions.

Can you walk me through on how to import this into tasker

Long press the "Profiles" tab. The option will appear when you let go.

You'll want t export the .zip file to /sdcard/tasker/profiles
Then you can launcher tasker and tap the "Profiles" tab. You should see this menu show up.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now select the .xml file and import it.

Awesome thanks

Never mind, I figured it out. Does anyone have problems with voice recognition over the car's Bluetooth?

I'm having that problem too. I just tested it out in my car and I love this task but when it ask me do you want to reply I say yes but I'm looking at my phone and it says could not recognize. Is there anyway to fix this?
Also I had my music playing from my phone when I was testing the text. Does the text when read come from the phone speakers or the car speakers because it sounds really soft. Is there a way to make the voice text louder?

How can I modify this to speak other notifications, like from Google Voice or Hangouts messages? And not through BT, just when the phone is used normally.

Thank you for this! I will give it a try....I missed the reading of txt messages function from Cortana coming from a windows phone.

Is there any way to get the this task to listen for a response from my android wear watch? If my phone is in my pocket I can't reply and that defeats the purpose..

Apparently it only reads SMS. Is it possible to have it read WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc?

Try this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CALWGiG0wJo
It worked for me for the Google Voice app.

I like this task, but I can't get it to listen to my responses. So it reads each text that I receive only, but then when the prompt comes up to say "do you want to reply" it doesn't recognize anything I say.

I love this!
I do have a question, is there a way to have the reply message read back to me to confirm the dictation is correct before sending and if it's incorrect to ask to create a new reply?

Wont read through bluetooh
my car wont read this through my bluetooth even though im connected. Is it because my honda doesnt support A2dp?
