Google Voice..Is it fully functional with rooted NT? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

As the title states...(minus the calling capabilities of course)
Thanks for the info.
Rob

If you refer to google voice for text messages and calls and not google voice search as some people get confused, then yes it works pretty well, but for make calls it does not work with other apps like groove IP , gvoice and so because of the lack of the proper drivers for the mic and possibly speaker too.

Awesome thanks....yes I will just be using for the texting. When the NT is in sleep mode will it still notify you of an incoming message or do you have to manually check it? Also, when rooted do you get audible notifications for new messages and/or emails like you do on a regular Android tab or phone?

yes you can get audible notifications, and the notfications will not show up while nook is sleeping once you wake it up wifi will wake up too in few seconds and then you will have to wait until next refresh of google voice to check for new texts to finally show up in your notification status bar, i think it refresh every 5min but not sure and there is not option to set the refreshing time in google voice.

The only problem is that you cannot access your contacts list (since the Contacts application is not installed).

Nop, you can use your contacts while you sync them with your gmail account:

I've successfully texted using Google Voice with the NT (sent and received). I use GMail, but recently started using Contapps for viewing and text messaging/e-mailing my contacts on the tablet. It also has Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc integration. So far so good.
No go on the phone calling though.

[Q] Turning off auto refresh

I got my Galaxy S II today as my first android phone, but I don't have unlimited data.
Is there anyway for me to turn off auto refresh for things like the weather widget, gmail, facebook, ect...or make it so that it only refreshes on wifi? I went into settings and found "auto sync" and "background sync", but i only see "facebook", and "google" :/
I'm on 2gb and don't have any problems running over on data. As long as you aren't streaming a lot you should be fine (unless you are on the 200mb plan). I use weatherbug and set the refresh rate to 1hr. Gmail is still push and it uses minimal data. I have google voice running all the time too.
Just keep an eye on the data for a while until you know how much you actually use. Use 3g watchdog or mydatamanager from the market
Facebook will be right there to disable. Background data being disabled should stop some data use when the phone is asleep. For gmail there is a setting in the gmail app. Most apps that sync will have a setting.
Juice defender has a way to block all data use when the screen is off. Be careful though, most "task killers" cause slower performance and can decrease battery life. In general stay away from anything that auto kills apps.

Okay thanks. (how do I "thank" on this forum?...) But i still can't find how to stop or limit push emails in the gmail app... theres a "turn off notifications" thing, but I'm not sure if it stops the email from downloading too...
If you disable auto sync, everything under your gmail account on the sync settings page will be disabled.
If you just want to stop gmail:
Settings/accounts and sync/manage accounts/sync gmail

Maybe there isn't a setting in the gmail app. If you go to settings, accounts, Google and uncheck gmail I think that will make your gmail manually sync only when you refresh in the app.

[Q] Toggle Notifications by Time Automatically

I was going to write an app and make a million dollars because I can't find an app that I need. I think others would buy it. But I checked out the Android programming videos parts 1 and 2. I think I'll let someone else make the million dollars. Lol :crosseyes:
It may exist, but I can't find it.....
What I would like to find us an app that will let me toggle notifications on and off by time and day automatically.
It should be able to toggle email, by account, and sms.
Scenario: I have 4 email accounts. I want to be able to set when my email account checks email and notifies me. I want to shut off awork email after work hours and have it turn back on at a specific time in the morning.
I want to turn off my other emails and sms notifications at bedtime and turn back on in the morning.
But I still want the phone to be able to ring and the alarm to work throughout the night in case of emergency calls and so I can get up in the morning.
It would be preferable that the email and sms be able to be turned completely off so there wouldn't be anything showing up in notification bar until it turned back on in the morning instead of merely turning off the sound for those.
But at this point I would love just to be able to toggle sound notification by email account and sms.
If anyone knows of an app that does this please post it here.
If a dev would like to tackle it, please pm me just so I know. It would be fun to follow development and beta test. And I would let you keep some of the million dollars it will make. Lol
EDIT: It should be customizable by day of week as well. Ie. I could leave work email off during weekend but have others working. I also think students would like to be able to customize for MWF and TT settings.
I am on 2.3.4
Gmail app should be included too
My sensce email stock app has scheduals for peak and off peak. Off peak I have sync off and u can pic hours etc.

I guess I should say what I am using. Right now I have a moto droid x using the Motorola universal inbox for email and then the gmail app for my gmail accounts. Handcent for sms.

[Q] Disable Location set by GPS Notification

As stated. I am using anti theft software that forces my phone to switch on wifi and GPS but as soon as it does I get that message telling me something is using my GPS etc. This looks suspicious to a potential thief in my opinion so I want to know if there was anyway at all I could remove or disable this pop up

Well. I have found out that Cerberus somehow disables this message shortly after it is displayed. However I prefer to use PhoneLocator Pro and that is the problem app for me. I contacted the developer and this is the reply
Hello !
This issue is because of your custom ROM you are running.
This is not happening in all the ROM's and you should ask developers of this rom how this issue can be fixed - maybe there is a way to disable this.
I will document myself on this, but I don't know if this can be fixed - even if you are saying that Cerberus doesn't have this behavior . Cereberus might be using a hack to turn on the GPS, a hack which I don't want to use cause Google is watching and these things can ban your app from the Play store.
Switch to Avast.
You can remotely lock the phone, sound an alarm, send text, forward calls, forward text, wipe phone info, gps track etc.... all through text commands. You also have the added benefit of anti-virus and firewall protection.
Best of all..... It's FREE.

I have that installed as well, it isn't as feature rich in comparison to PhoneLocator Pro or Cerberus. Plus I like to use the web based interface rather than SMS

google voice / hangouts; can we receive calls

hi guys,
Sorry again for the lame topic.
I was wondering if anyone can receive calls from their google hangouts or voice android apps. I can do it fine on my pc in gmail or google hangouts but not when I sign into my google hangouts app on my android phone.
i have an htc evo 3d with negalite bluerom r115.
I couldnt get calls in google hangouts or voice in my stock rom or negalite rom though.
I really want to use my phone to answer my google voice number.
any help would be appreciated.

First of all, you need to download the latest version of hangouts from Play Store. Make sure it is updated. v2.3+
Secondly you also MUST install 'Hangouts Dialer' by Google Inc. from the Play Store.
Hangouts Dialer
After you do both, reboot your phone for good measure.
Lastly, open Hangouts. A popup should ask you if you want to integrate Google Voice into Hangouts to make calls. After you accept that, click your email address/contact picture on the top-left. This will open the slide-out action bar. From there click on Settings. Once there, click your email address. Check the following options.

Working perfectly on my Nexus 5. Best of luck.
thanks,
it works now, the settings box was not checked for incoming calls
I still have one problem with calls though. My phone wont ring when it is in sleep mode. I have to take it out of sleep mode to get calls.
I need it to ring when it is in sleep mode? I have negalite bluerom on it with the latest google hangouts with dialer
does anyone know what i do to get it to ring when it is in sleep mode.
