Google Voice - voice mail setup - Samsung Captivate Glide

I tried setting up my google voice mail up, but it says it cannot change the access numbers. This is a first for me. I still have the stock ROM on my phone, un rooted. Anyone one else run into this?

Some times GV will give messages like that, but indeed work. I recommend testing it. Have you set it up via the website? It provides a number, which is entered on the device.
I don't remember the steps exactly; it's been a while. However, I remember that it didn't work properly until I visited the website, and that it gave an error message, but worked fine.

I know it does not work as GV does not see new VMs, they get treated normally. This is not the first time i've set it up. I have set it up dozens of times on my other phones as i am always messing with new roms, but this is the only time it has not worked. I have tried a few times, and im wondering if its locked out for some reason.

Just to cover the basics; you've selected it as the default?
The next step I'd consider taking is clearing the application data and starting over.

gmail help???

Hi All, new here...I have a HTC TP2 with Winmo 6.5 installed. Here's my situation, a couple days ago I used to received emails from my gmail account, now all of a sudden I can just send and not recieved any emails from gmail. My yahoo and hotmail accounts are running fine. Anyone have any ideas why my gmail is not receiving??? I spoke to one of the TMobile reps and it seems all they can do is HARD RESET the device. Any help? thanks in advance
I use Seven for my push e-mail, google, yahoo, exchange all work flawlessly. Have you made any changes to your device around the time it stopped working?
no i haven't changed anything on my phone which is kinda weird, I really don't want to hard reset the phone since restoring things is taking a toll on me. I would like for it to be a last resort but on the other hand I might just end up doing it since Im flirting with the idea of flashing to one of the custom roms here in xda. any ideas?
just my two cents... yesterday I discovered that all of a sudden my Gmail account had disappeared from the account selector (leaving only Outlook), I could still see the emails but couldn't reach account settings or nothing
Somehow it returned, but with most settings in blank.. imap and smtp server, SSL options, all were in blank.. no idea why or how this happened, but filled all blanks up again and now Gmail's working fine...
Trouble w/ Gmail after WinMo 6.5 Sprint upgrade
Just upgraded my Sprint TP2 to WinMo 6.5 today. Why this update took so long to come to Sprint customers is beyond me, but overall, I'm pretty pleased with the update, save one problem that has made me "strategically relocate" my phone with sudden velocity...twice.
I've been trying to set up Gmail since this evening, with zero success. I had my Gmail account set up on the device before the upgrade/update, but now...
I've tried every known method to enter the settings, but whenever the device tries to connect to the Google servers, it tells me I need to check my user name & password, even though I've entered both correctly.
I've even logged into my Gmail account on my laptop, changed the password just to make sure I've entered the correct one, & the device still kicks back to the user name/password screen saying the settings are wrong...I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT!!!
I've seen several posts from users experiencing trouble with Gmail on 6.5, but these have all seemed to stem from Wi-Fi vs. other types of connections.
I've also installed Google Sync & my Gmail has DL'd to my device, but I prefer to get my e-mail through the normal account setup.
Sorry so lengthy & thanks in advance for any advice anyone may be able to provide.
not sure if it is googles problem or our phones but i spoke to a couple of people with iphones and gmail accounts and it seems that they arent having any problems receiving their gmails. Did windows take a dump sometime this week?

Not sure if this will help, but... when username is requested, you have to type the complete idem, i.e., [email protected]er ... some time ago I had same problem as yours and solved it after realizing that I was including my username alone, without the @myserviceprovider.com part

Thanx, sirgal. Actually, I had tried both ways - one with just the username and one with my entire e-mail address, both to no avail.
However, I say "had tried" because, lo & behold, today just as I'm about to contact HTC tech support to see if 6.5 was causing Gmail probs, I decided to try creating the account ONE MORE TIME. Murphy's Law prevailed and, for reasons unbeknownst to me...IT WORKED.
I did everything the exact same way as I tried yesterday, but this time success. I'm taking a strictly "don't ask, don't tell" approach as to why it worked today.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
I'm having a similar problem hopefully someone can help with. I've setup my gmail account and had it working fine until without any cause I can determine, the accout disappears except for still showing up on the TouchFlo e-mail "tab." When this first happened, I started from scratch and setup "Gmail2" which also worked for a while. The reason I had to name it Gmail2 is that when I tried to use Gmail as I had originally done it tells me that this name is already in use. It just did this to me again and sure enough, I had to name the account Gmail3 this time around. I don't understand why they are "disappearing" nor why the name is still in use and the previous 2 versions still show up on the TouchFlo e-mail tab and nowhere else.
Odd question, or at least I think it is as this is the closest thread to the actual problem I'm having that I've found here or the HTC forums. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I have the exact same happened to me multiple times in the past. The only solution I found is to restore from a previous backup. Fortunately I backup at least once per week so it wasn't too disastrous but still annoying.
Unfortunately, I haven't ever done a backup (honestly never thought of it for a phone) so that isn't going to help. What I'm hoping for is if someone else has seen this and how to delete the ghost accounts. Thank you wearefree for the help.

Issues with my Tilt 2-Phone Doesn't work & other problems

I've had my Tilt 2 for about a month now. I've tried 4 or 5 different ROMs now, but i've come across a problem all of a sudden that wasn't fixed by a hard reset or flashing the stock ROM back. The phone all of a sudden doesn't work! I can still send and recieve text messages just fine, but the phone doesn't work. It says "Dialing...," sits there silent for a few seconds, then beeps 3 times and goes back to my recent calls list.
Beyond this, I have also not been able to get the text message announcements to work on any ROM except for the stock AT&T ROM. I get the same result with all of them, having tried combonations of several different ROMs and three different copies of MSVC. Now matter how I try MSVC will announce my emails, but not my text messages, which happens to be the exact opposite of what I want. Anyone know how to fix this? A registry edit, maybe?
Also, I have tried several different copies of HTC QuichGPS on these cooked ROMs and they all give me an error when I try to run the program. It says something to the effect of "certificate not being signed...one or more missing components..." Is there a particular version that I need to install, or is Advanced Config not really turning off the certificate security?
Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, the phone in particular being a higher priority of course. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Chris
The call error should be fixed by calling your provider on a different line and tell them you lost the ability to call after upgrading to a new ROM.
Not sure about MSVC. Do you have high priority messages only checked?
SDK Certs should get rid of any certification errors.
*edit*
Now that I think about it your GPS problem might also be linked to the first one. Have them reset all your connections when you call.

I'm going to try to flash a new radio first and see if that fixes it. i don't really have my hope up though because i've tried several ROMs over the past month, and it just suddenly did this around lunch today. and i know one or two of the custom ROMs had radios flashed with them, as did the stock one i just reverted back to. but it a radio flash doesn't work, then i'll try calling my provider. i just hate to have to sit on hold waiting on AT&T. thanks for the advice.

Contact crash?

Hello all,
Suddenly I'm having this problem where one of my contacts will start dialing, then quickly beep, and then crash back out to the Home Screen. No matter how I call, via the shortcut or dialing the number digit by digit, it crashes. Every other number works. When I dial the number via Google Voice it's fine. Texting that contact is fine. But calling is impossible. Anyone ever hear about this? Any ideas on what to do? I kinda need this contact.. it's my wife!
Thanks!
Wait, so even if you delete the contact and dial the number directly, it crashes? I suspect it is a contact that had something in it. For example, on the stock ROM, the way the stock contacts apps saves Pauses and Waits is different than some of the custom ROMs contact/dialer apps. So when I went to a new ROM, some of those contacts had data simply not supported by the ROM. I bet if you open the contact in Google from a PC, there is some sort of item stored in the contact that is throwing the dialer app out of whack.

I think we all know what really happened here...
You forgot to call your wife, so you told her that it was because your phone won't let you. She wouldn't believe you so to convince her, you started this thread.
jk man. Seriously, its probably what fermunky said. Are you rooted, and if so, on a custom rom?

Hey guys,
Yeah, I'm rooted on Cyanogen's ROM. My wife is as well, she's had no such issues and I didn't do anything that could have prompted this. I deleted the contact, texts, emails so there was no trace of it and I still can't dial her number at all. This is ridiculous. Will I have to re-root??? I'm not synced to Google so I can't do that PC edit.
Thoughts???

Hey again... just tried exporting and re-importing my contacts and it still refuses to let me dial the one contact. I'm afraid I'm facing a hard reset because I can't go to work tomorrow without fixing this.

Normally I would ask for the number to try and test it, but I am sure giving the number is out of the question... Have you tried swapping SIM cards, and then use her phone, with your SIM, and tried dialing the number again? If it follows your SIM card then I could only think of two things:
1: The SIM card has the contact on it, and is buggin the phone out
2: By some WEIRD fluke, your provider is somehow screwing up the handling on this one particular call.
I'm also getting this weird, blank, nameless System Group when I choose which contacts to display in Display Options. Never seen that before. Every time I make a new app it automatically decides to make it a Google contact. WHY?? I don't use Google for contacts. I don't get the option not to do that. And the contact goes to this blank group. I also see "System Group: My Contacts" and "All Other contacts" in addition to this blank one.
I don't even know how to see the SIM card contacts. But I don't use the SIM card as a rule. Not saying it couldn't have ended up copied or backed up there, just saying I don't use it for the obvious fields limitations.
So, since I'm on CM6, can I use Titanium to back everything up, then hard reset or is that not doable on a custom ROM?
You said this phone is not tied to a Google account?
It's tied to a Google account for Maps, etc but I don't have the contacts synced up. so I can't go to the PC as suggested and clean out the contact.
Well, as a troubleshooting measure, why not sync it to a PC and then view that contact in GMail to see if something is there.
However, you said you've completed deleted the contact, and direct-dialed the number with the same result? If so, do what I said and swap your SIM card into the other phone and dial the number again please.
Yes, that's right. However, if there were remnants on the SIM card, I wouldn't know. I certainly didn't put them there.
Soon as I meet my wife in about an hour I will do that test to see what happens and I'll reply back.
But meantime, any thoughts on my hard reset questions? I'm just thinking that if I use Titanium to back up the phone, and export the contacts, maybe I should just start from scratch? Any idea on the blank group I mentioned?
It may be doing that since you're not syncing contacts, not really sure.
As for swapping the SIM card, I am not suggesting it is a contact on the SIM card, just want to eliminate it as being a provider issue.
Do you notice if this only happens when calling the number from the same geographical location? Like, will it do it when you're at home versus when you're at work, grocery store, etc?
As for the backing up, cant help ya there. Never used titanium.
Happens everywhere. Not geo-specific.
Any other ideas for backing up and hard resetting? I'm actually more concerned about whether hard resetting on CM6 is a problem or complicated or anything.
Ok, I swapped cards with my wife...
- Called her number with HER phone using MY Sim, call went through fine.
- Called her number with MY phone using HER Sim, got to voicemail no problem.
Put MY Sim back in MY phone, beep and crash again.
Grrrrrrr......

Just hard reset my phone. Did nothing. Still can't dial the number.
Dang... how did you do the reset? I usually suggest doing the wipe from recovery.
If that still doesn't work, I'd try maybe un-rooting, make sure it works on stock rom, and if it works, then try rooting again and try again. That is pretty bizarre though.
I just did the standard power off, reboot holding down volume down, then "clear storage". Also, since doing this and then restoring everything with Titanium, I've noticed I'm not getting email updates even though it's on.
Oh man.... I've never had to even think about unrooting and rerooting. No idea where to start. Any tips on how to do that or a good guide I can follow?
This is so annoying.
Try wiping from recovery. The Clear Storage option you're using is in hboot, I believe.
Trying to wipe from recovery now. I'll see what happens. Before and after restoring from Titanium.
No dice... still happening. I'm officially stumped. I called T-Mo. They were shocked. They're sending me a warranty replacement.
Now, though, I've gotta unroot. Never done that before.

Login problems with the HTC Mail application?

Hello all.
A few weeks ago, my HTC mail app started acting up telling me "Login failed" anytime I tried refreshing the app to check my emails from both my Yahoo & Gmail account I have set up on it. I called Sprint, and after a ##3282# mission with them, they were able to get it to work.
However, yesterday it started doing it again. This time, I tried the #3282# technique myself to no avail. I tried clearing the data from the app, but when I try to enter my user name/password, it tells me the info is incorrect. I know it isn't, because I can login on any computer, and even the Yahoo app works. However, I like using the HTC app for my emails and I want to get that one working again.
Sprint is now telling me they don't know what is going on, and want to:
a) Do a complete factory reset to my phone, or
b) Take it in to a Sprint store for service.
Does anyone have any ideas of something I can try before giving in to them?
I have the direct number to Sprint Tech Support, and they have me on hold researching the issue now. However, I don't think they are going to come back with anything helpful. I think I just got lucky with a good tech the first time I called and am now dealing with far less tech-savvy people.

How to get past "This device was reset"?

I believe we have a Motorola One Action. We bought it for a podcast we were doing.. people would be able to call in and talk to us live. We only used it once or twice and then it sat in my room for a long time.
I dropped my personal phone that I use on an every day basis and wanted to put my Mint Mobile simcard into this unlocked Motorola. It tells me that I reset the device (I did) and to verify my account. Sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.. I have no idea what I used. I tried what I thought was correct and no luck.
I tried to Google ways to get around this and have not found any that work so far.. they involved pressing some sort of secret stuff and I was able to do certain things, but none of them worked.
I have got Apex Launcher installed. I can get into settings. I can open Apex Launcher. I can open Chrome. When I get to the part about restarting, I still get stuck at the verify crap.
Well, I've been searching for a LONG time. Watched countless videos and shortly after posting these posts I found this to work:
PHEW! What a load off my mind.. I had no phone and I don't own an alarm clock to wake me up!
