Another GB leak (9/21/11)

[anon(394005)]

The point being made was that the stock voice mail notifications didn't work...so the "it just works"argument doesn't really hold up

Oops, I was referring to the final official versions (ex. MR2) where they do work.

Is this considered a signed release?

If its a ruu it should be signed...

First the notifications are not a problem of the VM, but of the ROM/Phone. I use GV most of the time, but I also use Verizons VM to with my Charge and I get more or less instant notifications for both.

The MD5 check sum pretty much means that it was either packaged incorrectly (as was sorta this case) or that your download is corrupted.

Just an FYI from a guy who has to support the TB. I was hoping this build was gonna be a bit different...

Voicemail notifications appear to be broken still.

Sheesh!

[FrankXS]

Why do people still use the Verizon voice mail?

Don't be ridiculous. It doesn't matter why people use VZW VM or why people use VZW phones at all. It only matters that if they decided to use VZW phones and VZW VM, they damned sure oughta work!

[FrankXS]

Ah ok. Same radios as the 2.11.605.0 leak

...disapointing.

I just find it odd when people complain about stuff with such simple solutions. I like sense 3.0....I have sense 3.0. I like voice mail notifications that work. I have google voice. Its all good and well to say that notifications work in the stock ROM, but this thread isn't about froyo. perhaps gingerbread has been delayed for ota simply because they can't fix voice mail notifications...wouldn't that be hilarious?

 

[wildman]

Until I thoroughly test Google Voice to make sure that the VM works on it for me, can I use it and VZW's visual voicemail concurrently? Or will the VZW voicemail stop getting voicemails and everything will go right to Google Voice?

I'm a "Better You Mail' user myself and love it... I'm not into the two phone number concept with GV but thats just me..

No, that would be appropriate.

Does that work concurrently with the Verizon visual voicemail as well?

I am. I give my real number to people I want to talk to and do on a regular basis. I give my GV number to casual people and clients (business cards as well)

I don't think you can use any other service "concurrently". You have to program your account to forward your unanswered calls to Google Voice rather than Verizon's VM service.

Here are the instructions I used to set it up...works VERY well. I will never go back.

Instructions to use Google Voice as your voicemail when people call your cell phone number - Google Voice Help

 

[natehoy]

I give my GV # to everyone. It rings my work phone during business hours, my google talk account when I'm logged in to that, and my company-issue cell all the time. My cell is forwarded to GV for voicemail in case someone calls me with that number directly. I changed phones, carriers, and cell numbers recently and it was easy - I just logged into GV, deleted the old number, added the new one in, and followed Google's instructions to forward my VZ phone to GV Voicemail. No long list of people to notify.

So what's the verdict? I'm debating on flashing this.

So far I don't see much difference from the 2.11 GB leak from a month or so ago. Data seems a bit more stable though. Kind of hard to tell after only a couple hours. Really not sure what they changed honestly.

I think I will wait for next leak or OTA. The biggest difference in previous leaked RUUs was radio's. That does seem to be the case this time. It is the most minor change in version number..... May be It was only to fix the G-talk/camera timebomb.

Will this over write the hboot if it was locked via the patched hboot of recent?

I know we will hafta redo CWR and SU.

When you ask say the Vz Vm notifications doesn't work, are you referring to the leaked versions of GB out or for all thunderbolts no matter what software? I still have 2.21 & only use verizon vm & I get vm notifications..
