This is the only thing that has stopped me from making the switch to one of Darchstar's new ROMs. I was very hesitant to make a thread about this but I've received PMs from other people experiencing the same issue. Here's hoping we can get this figured out.
Whenever I install a 2.1 or 2.0.1 ROM I get a notification telling me that I have a voicemail waiting. I click the notification and it automatically dials *86.
"Thanks for calling Helio by Virgin Mobile. Please enter your mobile number beginning with your area code." That's definitely not right.
I call my Sprint Voicemail box and I have no messages. I call myself and leave a message and then delete it. Nothing.
I go into "Call Settings" and change my voicemail number and the notification remains.
I registered with Google Voice. The notification stayed. I left a Google Voice voicemail and deleted it... no change.
I RUU'd, re-rooted and flashed darchstar's ROM. Mockingly, the notification appeared immediately.
I installed Flip's 2.1 Sense ROM and the Indicator showed up immediately, but I was able to clear it in the Settings menu. (Settings > Call Settings > Clear Voicemail Notification) -- This option isn't available in the AOSP ROMs. I've tried to push the settings APK from Flip's ROM, but of course the settings program does nothing but forceclose on AOSP.
I'd just switch to Flip's ROM and manually remove Sense, but AFAIK there is no fix for the Market in that ROM as of yet.
I've also called Sprint regarding the issue. I hoped that a simple reset of my voicemail box would resolve the issue. No dice. I did, however, confuse the heck out of a Tech Support representative at least.
I am not nearly as experienced with Android Development as I'd like to be, but I am trying to learn. I've poked through the SDK documentation and it seems like I might be able to completely disable that notification if I knew what I was doing a little better. This would be fine being that I've fully switched my voicemail box to Google Voice.
I have managed to get the notification to go away for a period of time. If I wipe, flash, wipe, flash enough I'll boot and the notification won't be there. Each and every single time it comes back eventually. I got it to go away for approx 7 hours about a week ago. I was so pissed when it came back...
The closest thing to a solution that I've came across is going into framework-res and removing the PNG for the voicemail notification. At least, I don't have to stare at that icon all day long that way.
Does anyone have any ideas that I haven't covered above?
You know Im right there with you. I have tried just about everything you outlined and I still couldnt get it to go away more than a few hours. Fresh 2.1 did slightly help the situation by being able to clear it but as soon as I restarted, there it was again.
Just out of curiosity Illogic, have you tried a new Micro SD card?

That I have not. I would be very surprised if that fixed it, but I suppose it is worth looking at at this point.

I have been waiting on a 8gb class 6 for 2 and a half weeks. I was gonna test when it came in. I have partitioned many times but I wonder if it is possible something is just stuck on it and its causing this issue. I dont know, maybe im just on my last ideas about it.
I have a feeling that it has something to do with the fact that we are missing visual voicemail on these unofficial builds.
When we receive a Sprint Voicemail on a ROM without VVM we get a SMS message that would normally be filtered out by the VVM app. When you clear your voicemail box you get a SMS that looks like it's meant to turn the message waiting indicator off, but the phone doesn't recognize it.
Been pulling my hair out over this for too long.

The only thing is that we seem to be the ONLY two with the problem. Everyone else doesnt have VVM and they dont have that icon everytime.

I'm guessing that'd be me. Thanks for referring me to this thread.
well i'm decompiling the settings.apk from both Sense 2.1 and AOSP 2.1 to compare them hopefully I can get the "clear voicemail notification" setting working in AOSP 2.1
Nah I got the same thing. Just choose to wait it out I guess.

I've opened up the settings apk with WinRAR and none of the files inside are plain text. Just compiled gobbledegook.
The settings apks are open sourced, right? Hmmmm.....

He mentioned that he had in the first post. It was also stated that there is no way to remove the icon. If he is like me, the icon is annoying.
No, he mentioned he tried giving himself a voicemail in his Google Voice number. I mean switching from Sprint Voicemail over to Google Voicemail. That's what I did and I solved this problem.

I have forwarded my phone to Google Voice's voicemail service and the icon remained. Did you forward it to Google and resolve the issue? That's what I meant when I said that I "registered" with Google Voice. Sorry... that wasn't real clear.

Illogic, I did it on Freshs 2.1 and it worked because Freshes has the clear voice mail option in settings. Not to mention, for some reason Freshs also integrated GV into the voice mail settings. It was actually pretty cool.
What I did was change the Voicemail setting in AOSP 2.1 to Google Voicemail. I just left it at that (didn't change it back to Sprint) because I like GV better. But I don't get the ghost notification with my voicemail handled by GV.

Yeah, I noticed your posts in the ROM thread regarding that. Just if we could, somehow, get that ported to the AOSP ROMs we'd be golden.
Hello all. I have an Htc evo on the boost network. Everything works well. The problem is the mms messaging. When I get an incoming mms message it goes to this website for.boost mobile called media mail. I have to log into the site to get my pictures...its really annoying. I just had an Htc hero flashed the same way and it gets true mms messages right to the phone. Is there a way to fix the boost media mail issue so that the mms messages go diregctly to my Evo?

i have evo on boost and had the same problem. what i did was use root explorer and deleated mms apk and mms odex from system/app, then download go sms from the market, copy that from data/app to system/app and my mms works perfect now. i would suggest downloading android mate from the market, use this to stop and locate the name and where the app is at on your phone before going into root explorer. ps google free root explorer. after placing go sms in your system/ app folder download handcent from market. this is going to be the mms. app that you are going to use to veiw the mms on your phone, turn off all notifications in go sms so that you don't try to open with go sms.
you may need the right apn...i sent them to my friend and it fixed his problems using apn backup/restore
Can you email me your apn because I have calls and sms working but no data or mms please help! Email me at [email protected]
@calvinfla, i did all of u said to do and it doesnt work. still get that 9000 media message from boost. did u do exactly what u said or maybe forgot something? let me know, pls that 9000 message is urrrrrrr.
I believe the MMS server is "mm.myboostmobile.com". The other poster had it as "mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com" I couldn't send or receive until I changed it and it worked right away after I changed the server.
I have changed the server to http://mm.myboostmobile yada yada and still am not able to send MMS. I have received them and data is working, just need the ability to send. Any ideas?
I am on the 1/11/2012 Energy rom with Sense 3.5
That ROM does not have EPST capability. Are you certain you changed the MMS server?
Did you change it on that ROM or did you changed it once and then flashed to that rom? Reason I'm asking is because just because you changed it once doesn't mean it sticks after you flash a few roms or whatever.
If you want to stick with a Sense 3.5 rom and want to send MMS, the only way I've found that would work short of editing code in the Mms.apk (pretty freaking hard and takes some time) is to download GOSMS Pro (free app in the market).
Once you download that app, go to your regular messaging app settings and disable notifications on it. (if not, you'll get double notifications and that gets annoying)
After that, find this setting in GoSMS Pro...
Once you do that, scroll down and put in these settings....reboot and that's it!!
Yep, that's why I asked. It's the only way I know of also on 3.5 Sense Roms. So if you flashed that ROM the MMS server is set for Sprint NOT Boost.

Yeah is been a while since I've been on sense roms BUT last time I was on sense it was a sense 3.5 rom and it was ported over from a GSM phone so it didn't have EPST working. I don't know if that's the case NOW but the way I provided above is a sure bet with ANY rom out there for boost users!
I've heard of people using an old EPST.apk from sense 1.0 or whatever but that's a 50/50.....it never worked for me, hints the reason I'm on AOSP roms now!
Any more tips or whatever for boost...hit me up through PM!!

I am also looking for hints for boost and I have tried out a few other roms but didn't have luck installing CM7 which is the one I wanted to try. Can't remember why it wouldn't install right now though.

well, so far so good, I guess I have to use go sms for text/mms if I want to use Sense 3.5.
What are some better rom options? I like this one because most of the features work, didn't discover this until recently and HDMI isn't working but that is about it.

I have the same issue...
I was running Cyanogen 7 for about 8 months with now issues, everything worked flawlessly, till I flash Stock Rooted Rom 3.30.651.3-deodex-20110712-signed.zip...I just wanted to try something new, you know...well, it didn't go as planned. For some reason my phone got Verizon NAMs files or NV items somehow... or I really didn't pay attention to the ROM...but I have never used Verizon before so that was weird...so I flashed back to 4.54.651.1-deodex-20120104-signed and everything was working just fine after that except battery wasn't that stable...remember I wanted to try something new so I wanted the newest Rooted Stock Rom, so I flashed the 3.30.651.3-deodex-20110712-signed ROM again...everything worked as planned for a day and some, but today I get MSM errors...
"SMS Error
SMS Error: Message to not sent, Saved in Undelivered messages.
Please try again."
I cant get the EPST ##3282# to come up...whats up with that?...so I cant configure MMS URL to http//:mm.myboostmobile.com
Everything else is working just fine though.

Thanks for your response...is there a way to use the native messaging app?
Android group messaging out of the box is awful. Tho I wanna say it was grouping properly when I first loaded up my S5. I still would recommend ditching it for Textra. Its vastly superior.
Edit: I just checked my stock messaging app and its grouping properly...
Yes...it groups properly but when ppl respond it is going in a separate text.
Ex. When I send a group text to A and B. When A respond it does go in the group message I sent. Same for B. Are you experiencing this also?

Are you asking me if the example is how it works for me? I have NOT used the stock messaging app to send a single message. I just checked to see if it was grouping messages and it was. So beyond that, I really cant offer help.
Seriously tho, ditch it for Textra. You'll be way happier.

In the message settings under Multimedia Message, is the group message option checked? I haven't done a group message over text yet, but when I do I use Hangouts as it always handled group messages well for me.

What I don't understand is why Android STILL cannot handle group texting to more than 10 people.
I have a group text with a group of my friends. We have about 12 people in the group and I can't text in it. I receive all of them just fine but nothing I do let's me send a text. Different phones, different apps, different APN settings...nothing. It's a joke.

Okay i figure out what happen, I was missing a setting that now allow S5 to use group text.
Open up native messaging app, menu, multimedia messages, there should be an option that say group messaging. make sure that is checked.
For some odd reason I was missing that setting and finally found someone on the internet that was having the same issue. a factory data reset resolves the issue. yippppie.

I asked in the LeeDroid thread, then realized its probably better asked here instead.
Anyone have a working APK for the Verizon Visual Voicemail app for the HTC10? Once I flash a custom ROM such as LeeDroid (and, I assume any other custom ROM?) there's no longer any app for VVM.
In fact, as far as I can tell, there is no voicemail app at all; so anytime someone leaves me a VM, I'm not getting notified about it. The only way for me to check VM's is manually press 1 each time on the dialer.
Anyone else on VZW having this issue?

That is my point: you won't any longer get playable messages stored in your M9 as before. You will have to dial *86.

What's going away is the $2.99 option.
Look under "Basic Visual Voice Mail (Included)"
App and *86
Again, read the link you posted. The first line:
On 7/8/2016, the $2.99 Visual Voice Mail service will be discontinued. Some older smartphones and basic phones that support it won't be able to use the service.
This is only impacting some older smartphones and basic phones.
The HTC 10 is newer and a smartphone, and is therefore unaffected because it qualifies for the free basic VVM.
I have the voicemail app n my viper rom here but it takes the 2.99 premium upgrade.
Is the new message+ app what your looking for? I think that had the VVM also. I had it saved somewhere but for the life of me I cant find it now. ill pull it later cause I'm going to back to stock to test something out.

The Voicemail app and Message+ are two different things.
The Voicemail app defaults you to a free trial of the $2.99 premium VVM, but you can downgrade straight away to the free VVM service from the menu.
The Message+ app can be downloaded from the Play Store (search for Verizon Messages).

I figured that out after I searched the play store. I have never seen this basic VVM cause I never used the stuff, I have the app installed but never use , I also thought when I did start up the message app it did have a tab for the voicemail but again it was not there.
My voice-mail goes through my HTC messages app. It is a tab/slide over in the app

Verizon vvm and messages

Is it set up like the m9 where the messages app has 3 tabs sms, mms, and voicemail because when I tap voicemail it takes me to my text messages with no voicemails after I installed those apks. That's is the messages apk from the Verizon version right? I think there is something else probably missing to make it work properly.

correct, i have no idea what else you need to get going though.
It has to be some type of file that joins the two together.

Yeah, I just had the stock system with the messages app. I was thinking the apk for the messages app would work. Now I'm in leedroid and I don't have it either.

I asked in the LeeDroid thread, then realized its probably better asked here instead.
Anyone have a working APK for the Verizon Visual Voicemail app for the HTC10? Once I flash a custom ROM such as LeeDroid (and, I assume any other custom ROM?) there's no longer any app for VVM.
In fact, as far as I can tell, there is no voicemail app at all; so anytime someone leaves me a VM, I'm not getting notified about it. The only way for me to check VM's is manually press 1 each time on the dialer.
Anyone else on VZW having this issue?

I am experiencing the same thing, after just switching to LeeDroid.
I tried downloading and installing the .APK file referenced in this thread. That seems to work somewhat, but when I launch the app I just get a message that says "Connecting to Visual Voicemail...", and then nothing happens. I wind up having to back out of the app.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Then there was this ... Running LeeDroid

I never got it figured out. But went back to stock.
Can't find the other posts about this.. but like everyone else, I checked the VVM setting, cleared cache, rebooted etc and didn't see the VVM option when I opened up the stock dialer. Well by accident I swiped to the left and the tab popped up. It's just over to the right. I didn't see anyone else bring this up, so I thought I would mention it. Hopefully that helps someone.

I still don't see it. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. I would like to figure it out.
In the tabs up top.. Speed Dial, Contacts etc.. just swipe it to the left like you're scrolling over to it.
If I remember correctly, if you're on Tmo, you need to uninstall the tmo vvm app.

Worked for me to uninstall Tmobile vvm app, clear data/cache in stock dialer, reboot, and the voicemail tab was there. But I'm still have trouble with the "can't activate vvm" error afterward.
If you go to Settings>Call settings>Voicemail, is the vvm option enabled?

Thanks, I tried it a 2nd time and it worked
Glad you got it working. Coming from the essential phone and briefly 3XL the VM tab was right there in the dialer screen, so I had no idea I had to swipe over to it. Figured that might be some people's issues with it. The only other thing I did was change out my older SIM card with the one in the box. I like to do that every second phone or so.
It hates me.i can't get it

Did you restart the phone and then go into dialer settings and turn on visual VM?
I had posted about it in another thread, I ended up giving up on a solution since it won't allow activation. The Tmo app is easy enough to use anyway.

Yeah tried it all
Strange. Got mine to work just now following the instructions mentioned in this thread.
I have the opposite problem. I can't keep the VVM from the carrier switched off.
I use Google VM and the VVM for each SIM keeps getting enabled.
I have tried everything that was suggested and I can now see the Voicemail tab when I swipe over although the "change pin" setting is grayed out within the voicemail settings therefore VVM is not functioning. Good news I am getting voice to text transcription now sent via SMS so that's something different.
I had to go through a relatively roundabout process to get the VVM in the stock dialer to activate. I was trying to switch to Google dialer, but apparently, while the voicemail tab does show up, voicemails don't actually come through and show notifications with Gdialer.
Ended up having to force stop / disable stock dialer and re-enable to have the vvm actually activate, and it's been fine since.

No solution.
I have an older version of Voice that will do integration, but VVM keeps turning back on, even though I declined.
I don't know.

Something like 4.7. You need to look on the app mirror.
It's the last version before 5.x
