Thank you very much, helpful stranger, for taking the time to do this... just had to switch to a new Tracfone 'cause the old one had the battery die... major headache getting VM set up, at least 4 calls and over 2 hours of time. I really wanted to get the direct/landline # so I could get my VMs through Google voice without having to pay extra from my cell... and you made it easy for me by sharing this info -so thanks again.

thank you, my iPhone 4s couldn't connect to voice mail. I had the red dot on my screen reminding me i have voice mail. Finally i could delete my messages and remove it.

Re: Considering a Nokia N82 – iPhone battery life is cramping my style

Ketty Robinson — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 05:49:30 -0000

Design of the Nokia N82, according to me, is the worst part about the phone. This device has a simple candy bar design with silver face. The hardware feels very cheap and plasticky which is not acceptable in a phone like this.

Re: The Mac/PC dev/QA environment

Hi Paul - this still works like a charm. I strongly advise not to use boot camp unless you absolutely need raw machine level power (gaming, hardware driver development, 100,000,000,000 files open at the same time, etc). An i5 with 4 gigs of memory will be more than enough. You may not want to run 2 vms concurrently, but 1 and OSX will rock.

Win7 is more efficient than XP, so you'll be even happier than I was when I originally wrote this post!

Hey Sol. I'm considering either going this route or parititioning the MacBook HD and using BootCamp/Windows 7 on one half the disk. I can do VMs under the Windows 7 install. Downside of this is that rebooting is required to go from one OS to the other.

Are you still using this setup? Is it still fast enough using the latest OSs and VMWare? I'm thinking of picking up a MacBook i5 for the work. Think that will work?

Thanks for an update you might have on all of this.

Re: Setting up new mail notification on an iPhone using ONLY the Gmail web app

zixmail — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 02:30:49 -0000

well, You will still use the iPhone's built-in Mail app, or access your provider's ... The app is simply a push notification service!

Glad I could help - I'm amazed this isn't more readily available.

Very useful. Thank you. I set this up on my new Nokia E72 and it worked like a charm w/out prompting for password to access vm. Thanks again.

Best option is to go here: http://code.google.com/p/an...

From there, check out the FAQ... There are links to some good instructions on setting up your phone. Following them isn't so hard, but might seem daunting at first. The payoff is worth it though :)

No doubt... This drove me crazy after resetting. I come back to my page to plug it in to GV for each phone :-) glad it helped.

Very helpful, I needed this number after Google Voice wiped out my carrier configuration.

I have the g1 phone also, and I am wondering how to tether to iPad. Can you explain the process?

Re: iPad: No 3G needed (just tether to your phone via wifi)

Sol Young — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:03:54 -0000

I use wireless tether... it works for the G1, too. You'll love it. You may
have to root the phone first.

Re: iPad: No 3G needed (just tether to your phone via wifi)

Hosh — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:41:04 -0000

This sounds great! However I'm a G1 user and I think I only have access to the PDANet application.

What app are you using to tether?

Re: An unusable iPad

Sol Young — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:58:07 -0000

It's still just a workaround. I hope the next batch come ready for use, with registration on the device.

Re: An unusable iPad

Sol Young — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:56:53 -0000

That's a good way to go and good workaround. I got in and got out without sticking in the crowd on Saturday. Unlocking on a friends or store computer does the trick, but it's still a workaround to an avoidable problem.

Re: An unusable iPad

Randy — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:50:51 -0000

All he has to do is plug it in once for about 1 min and it would be ready to use. He could do that at the apple store.

Re: An unusable iPad

Andrew — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:45:39 -0000

Or, the user could have unpacked the iPad at the store, synced it with one of the Mac computers on display, and walked out of the store with a working iPad. Apple was doing that for customers who requested it on Saturday; I'm sure Best Buy could do the same.

Re: iPad: No 3G needed (just tether to your phone via wifi)

Sol Young — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:43:24 -0000

No, this is using the standard Android Internet plan ($30.00 per month). Note: If you use a lot of bandwidth with your Android phone, T-Mobile may put restrictions or disable your account... If you use their network for massive data use, be warned that you'll likely get throttled or bumped.

Re: iPad: No 3G needed (just tether to your phone via wifi)

Powen Shiah — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:02:05 -0000

Do you have to pay extra on t-mobile to allow tethering? That'd be the main drawback for me.
