How to open WAV file from email?

[tritop15]

Can anyone help me with opening up a WAV file from an email attachment. I get voicemail from my work via WAV file and I am unable to open it. It say "the attachment cannot be display". Please help and give me your opinion or solution. I downloaded AudioPlayer WithEQ to play WAV file but it still doesnt work. Thank!

did you try to touch the audio file and hold down on it? sometimes it'll give you the option to save it or set as a ringtone...

maybe then you can open it with the media player app

Unfortunately, it just have 1 option which is "open". Touch and hold does nothing and menu keys just have delete, forward, reply, reply all and mark as unread.

I even tried sending and receiving an mp3 attachment and it worked fine. Was able to open and save and play it. It gave me the option to open or save by the attachment. With the WAV file, it just has the option of open. Still, it doesn't open or play.

I have a similar issue with saving MP3's that I send through my GMAIL on my computer to the gmail client on the phone. I can play the MP3 but not save it.

Switchback - try opening the file and let it play then hitting the menu key to save it. That was the option that I was able to do with MP3 and not WAV. Hope that works for you.

yea, I tried a bunch of things, I am using the default media player, and dont have access to the menu key. However in Gmail it says preview.

Hopefully this will be a fix because I'm having the issue. Very annoying for sure...

There's another thread about this same issue also but still no solution yet. I hope VZW get this fix with the December 11th firmware update. Does anyone an alternate solution to this matter? I would like to see what you guys are doing to make it work for the time being.

I've posted about this problem mulitple times on mulitple boards (here, Andriod fourms and Motorola support). It is a real problem for many business users. I don't see anything in the 12/11 documents or even the 1/22 list that address this.

Not sure how we bring this to the attention of the OS owners.

Go to Voicemail .wav file attachment - SOLVED!? (workaround) - Android Forums I have not tried it yet but they say this will fix the issue for now.
