    The Program works Great just the only problems is that it wont allow you to change channels once you have entered server.

    Can you guys allow the camera button to work even if a phone is asleep?

    Thank you.

    • ekilfoil
      #3 written by ekilfoil 5 years ago

      This is not possible. Enable the “Prevent Sleep” option. Also, this request should have been in the forums. I only happened upon your comment by chance.

    Seems to have a problem sending voice from Samsung Galaxy S, even with the force 8kz, but can hear others just fine.

    • Kynolin
      #5 written by Kynolin 4 years ago

      I have the exact same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S (Epic). I can hear everyone crystal clear, but when I transmit it only works intermittently, and then eventually the PTT button stops responding completely, and I’m unable to transmit at all.

    • econnell
      #8 written by econnell 5 years ago

      As always… none of us have a Samsung phone so we can’t test or debug it. If you’re looking for support, use the forums… We just have no way to test/debug that platform.

    • stringSyntax
      #12 written by stringSyntax 5 years ago

      Did you have to do anything special to get this to work? I can’t seem to communicate with people in vent.

      • stringSyntax
        #13 written by stringSyntax 5 years ago

        nevermind it seems it was just bugged from changing settings while in a server.

  • Spec
    #14 written by Spec 5 years ago

    Yeah, I agree with ventrilo lover, a shame you don’t have any samsung galaxy phones (since epic comes out on 31st) I would purchase it.

  • VentriloLover
    #15 written by VentriloLover 5 years ago

    From reading all the comments, its not just the viberant, but the Galaxy S phones. If this is the case, tons of them, on every network have or are about to be released. Currently the viberant is like T-Mobiles flagship phone, and I assume its the same for the other networks. If the Devs could get ahold of one that would be great, I only suggest this is because this doesnt affect a small amount of users, but a fairly decent size.

    • econnell
      #16 written by econnell 5 years ago

      We’ve made a little bit of progress. For some reason, the Samsung phones do not support 32kHz record rates (but they do support 8, 16, 11.025, 22.05, and 44.1). This is helpful, but it really doesn’t get us closer to a solution since none of us have one.

      Also, the minimum audio buffer size on samsung phones is ridiculously high. This may be a large part of the problem.

  • VentriloLover
    #17 written by VentriloLover 5 years ago

    Thats great to hear, would a donation help this cause?

    • econnell
      #18 written by econnell 5 years ago

      Heh… not unless you’re donating a phone :). killy could use one, he’s on a G1. Actually, I might start a donation drive to do just that, check back often.

      • asvare
        #19 written by 4 years ago

        I would consider donating a Samsung Captivate if you think you could get the transmit sound issue fixed.

        • clearscreen
          #20 written by clearscreen 4 years ago

          Honestly I think that any of the ~4 android people (me, econnell, killy, maybe haxar) that we have would fix that issue (quickly) if hardware was donated.

  • VentriloLover
    #21 written by VentriloLover 5 years ago

    ya, id donate, id bet youd get a good amount

  • stringSyntax
    #22 written by stringSyntax 5 years ago

    I’m not sure where to write this suggestion so I’ll put it here.

    When someone sends me a page it would be awesome if a message could be put into the notifications drop down to let me know instead of a voice message. That way I could leave the app running, maybe even muted in the background.

  • Anthony
    #23 written by Anthony 5 years ago

    Love the application so far, it really comes in handy.

    I have an HTC Incredible and the first version I installed, which I think was the last Alpha was working very well, however, I just installed the latest update, which I think is the first beta, and there are issues with my voice transmission. Before it was pretty clear without any issues, now with the latest version it is a bit laggy, sounds way too staticy, and I get a really bad echo.

    After a bit of testing on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, it works fine. Nice work guys.

    We gave you guys a shout-out on our blog. Keep up the good work. We tested your software out on our servers and everything appears to be working great with our servers and your application with the motorola droid phones we have around the office. This is going to help us be able to take our ventrilo server on the go!

    Again, thanks for the awesome software!

    I have an HTC Legend with 2.1 I had the old version of the beta and when I went and updated to the new beta both were installed and I cannot get rid of the old one. How do I go about removing the old copy?

  • Dave

    It works great on my Droid X.

    My only complaint is that it does not work with my bluetooth headset when it’s paired. It’s more of a nice to have than anything.

  • Encognitoe

    Works great on my Samsung SGH-i897 (Galaxy S) running kernel version 2.6.29 The only thing I would like to see is the ability to move users to any channel regardless of what channel you are in. Great work guys!

  • ladydeth

    Is there a way to have Mangler mute Vent when a phone call is taken?

    Even if there isnt, or wont be…..its still an awesome App and one I use very often.

  • Chris P

    This works great. I listen to friends play music on it, and it works just as well as the desktop app for that purpose.

    Keep up the good work!

    Is it possible to implement a “talk to talk” functionality? For cell phone users this would be incredibly useful.

    Thanks for the work so far!

  • chris

    I have the epic as well and am having the same problems as evryone else. However, the app works perfectly fine with pandora running in the background. Seems the issue may be a buffer issu or something. Try it.

    Does anyone use with NeoRouter free? I was tried dynamic and static portforwarding , but not effect it. any idea?

  • Jamie K
    #38 written by 4 years ago

    I have been looking for a program like this for a long time. I just so happened to find it today when someone told me about it on Vent. This program works pretty good for me using WiFi. I have the Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) on Verizon Wireless. I am running Blackhole Rom DJ05 with Stupid Fast 1.5.4 kernel. Keep up the good work.

  • Kenetic

    I would really like to see the bluetooth working…im a truck driver and hands-free is the safest approach behind the wheel….i have a ventrilo server and many ppl try to contact me but I refuse to use the phone while driving….i wish I had the source code for mangler and source code for bluetooth for android os….that way I could try to program myself on my downtime…..droidx is my equipment

    • econnell
      #40 written by econnell 4 years ago

      The source code for Mangler and the source code for Android are completely available. On your DroidX, however, you will not be able to install a custom version of Android.

      Unfortunately, a custom version of Android would be required for bluetooth support. The current API does not allow the usage of the bluetooth headset for recording or playback. You should be able to use a wired headset, though.

  • Kenetic
    #41 written by 4 years ago

    playback works….i have an app that allows playback…..only thing tho is developer will not release thier code….i think if they can access the bluetooth for playback…recording should also be obtainable….

  • Girz
    #42 written by 4 years ago

    Is there a way to make Mangler act as if it is in speaker phone mode? Am I over looking something obvious?

  • Random google user looking for this app...
    #43 written by 4 years ago

    Just a random user here looking for a ventrilo app for android.

    Huge thanks and two giant thumbs up guys.
    Downloaded up and running in seconds.
    Guys in my vent couldn’t tell I was on my Android, just sounded like I got a new headset.

    Again, awesome work, great app, much love.
    Thank you.

    Got my Samsung Galaxy S II last week and tried out Mangler (as i played wow for a long time under linux) when it was already in the early beginnings — long story short awesome job guys as my guilds always refused to use mumble.

    Anyway to the topic my SGS II with preinstalled Gingerbread (2.3.3) has not a single sound issue with transmitting. So *thumbs up* good job!

    I’d love to try this app out but I get the good old “this app is incompatible with your device” message. Is it possible to make this compatible with an Armv6 phone please.

  • aniforce
    #52 written by aniforce 3 years ago

    Is it possible to add one more cyrilic character set or UTF-8 maybe. Because with this two: CP1251 (Cyrillic)
    and KOI8-R (Cyrillic), russian names and rooms are displayed incorrectly (not possible to read words) or aren’t displayed at all :(
    No other problems found ) Great software)

    Is Mangler compatible with small apps? If not it would be awesome to be able to use it in a small app so I can use Mangler while playing games !! :)

  • dn4cer

    Can you create an android port for BB10 please?

    BB10 currently runs a player compatible with Gingerbread apps (v2.3), but I’ve heard that work is currently being done to support Jelly Bean apps (v4.2):

    Converting the app is pretty easy too from what I’ve seen.

  • Dante
    #55 written by 1 year ago

    I have a few issues with this program.

    1. It does not keep you connected for a long period of time. When I go to sleep and wake up and go to it, it is disconnected…

    2. If you close Mangler from your list of running apps, it disconnects you from the server…it would be awesome if you could make it so it keeps running in the background like Ventriloid.

    3. Minor issue, when you press the back button when viewing the main server view, it disconnects you, instead of just closing or “minimizing” the app.

    Would be an amazing app if you could fix these issues,. It’s still pretty good, but not reliable enough to use for your main VoIP program
