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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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.

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.

  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.

  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.

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

      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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

- #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.

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….

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!

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.

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
