Can anyone help me? I have Fission Vanilla 1.2 and am loving up but one thing it didn't include was Verizon's Visual Voicemail app.
I've tried downloading the apk from http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/ but when I click on the apk after downloading it it says "Application not installed" so I tried the moving it to the system/app folder like it said to do in this thread
http://androidforums.com/all-things-...r-droid-x.html
but after rebooting the phone it doesn't show up.
Anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks
Another interesting find.
I found another file called VVMStub.apk and that installed but as soon as I run it a pop up says "You phone comes with built in visual voice mail features. For the best experience, please uninstall this version of the application." and my only option is to uninstall it.
So obviously this phone thinks it has VVM on it but I can't get to it.
not to be a smart*** at all but why not get a free Google Voice account and set it up to handle your voicemail. you dont have to give out the number and it will be your voicemail for your DROID. you can then visual voicemail on your phone or computer, download the voicemails as a MP3 if you want, never worry about how may you have or time they are kept, and the best part is its free (and it works on Fission 1.2)
just a thought.
iDroidNow I hadn't looked at Voice since it was first sent to me years ago as a beta test. I didn't realize you could just do it for a cell instead of getting the whole number thing going. Just set it up so thanks for the suggestion. Will also save me a few bucks a month on VZW's limited capability VVM. So thanks for the suggestion!
Still weired I couldn't get VVM to install though

I noticed there is a section in /system/build.prop that mentions VVM
I wonder if changing this to false will allow you to install VVM from the market

I tried this and it does get rid of that pop-up saying you already have VVM.
Please post all compatibility issues in the thread of the ROM that you installed in this case Fission 1.2 thread. With that said I am closing the thread.

Okay so i spent 4 days uninstalling and reinstalling the sprint VVM app and following the directions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966&page=14
I must have attempted it over 200 times when suddenly.. IT JUST WORKED, i did a little dance, jumped around, did a backflip, the usual celebration stuff
Anyway, 24 hours later my MIUI somehow got stuck in a bootloop so i had to do a restore and i lost it, needless to say i've tried another 200 times to get my sprint visual voicemail working and it just keeps saying
"Data Restore Failed" On TitaniumBackup
Is there any flashable ZIP that i can just flash and get my VVM working? this is driving me insane, i have no idea what i did different the one time it worked but i just cannot get it to work again.. pleaaaaaase help
your not doing it right then, it has worked countless times for myself and friends. Somewhere along the lines you are skipping something or not following the directions fully
Trust me i am doing everything right
1.) Uninstall the voicemail
2.) Install the Voicemail APK
3.) Copy/paste the files from zip into the Titanium Backup Folder
4.) Restore DATA only from voicemail in titanium backup
and it should work.. but i get Data Restore Failed every single time
I swear i had seen a flashable zip fix for this somewhere, has anyone done this succesfully and have a zip?
Finally just got it working, i had to uninstall/reinstall Titanium Backup and then it worked, only took me like 60 more tries lol.. I am DEFINTEILY gonna make a nandroid back up RIGHT AWAY, but would still be interested in this ZIP for future referenes
Okay well i got the Application to install correctly, but i'm still not getting the voicemails to it... I was using google voice and i just tried to test my new sprint VVM and the voicemail still went to google's voice, so i uninstalled it and i keep trying to compose a message to myself and nothing is coming back...do i need to do something to turn off google voicemail ?

I have this same problem with google voice just earlier this morning.
First you have to login google voice account via the net and deactivate google voice. It will prompt you to dial *38 to deactivate, this should now revert you back to sprint visual voicemail. Hope this help.

If you chose Google voice integration your voicemails will go to Google voice no matter what

Okay, i'm rooted and have been Running MIUI for a few months without issue.. Last Friday i did a FULL WIPE (factory reset, cache and delvik) and upgraded to the newest 1.7.15 MIUI ROM -- everything worked fine.. except for my text messages.. I wasn't receiving any.. I could send them out fine.. i just dont get any.. so after i tried to do EVERYTHING to fix it.. nothing worked, and i decided, oh well I'll flash back to Sense until next release.. Well i flashed back to sense (Did a full wipe, then a nandroid restore) and my Text messages STILL do not work.. I have never used Google Voice, but i was told that could be the cause, so i opened it and turned it on.. and i was able to get text messages to my google voice box) I do not like google voice, nor do i want to use google voice.. So i then went from my PC and disabled google voice from within my PC's browser, and i then uninstalled it. Now i'm back to not being able to receive text messages...
Does anyone have ANY idea what so ever could be the cause of this? I am completely stumped. I thought 100% it was an issue with MIUI, but i cant even get them on my Sense ROM.. All of my calls and sent text messages work fine, but i receive no incoming text, nor notifications or anything that i'm getting any texts... Yet if i use google voice, i can get my text messages..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have also Updated my Profile and PRL
if i go into HTC Software Updates it says there is a 2.3 Gingerbread update 4.24.651.1 (6.07MB)
but i am on the rooted stock gingerbread version of that i believe, unless another update came out after the original June 4th gingerbread release, because ever since then i've been on MIUI anyway
EDIT:
I just attempted a Full factory reset, and i still cannot get any text messages
I am chatting with sprint and he told me to try these codes in the phone dialer
##DATA#
##72786#
and they used to work, but now it just freezes my phone dialer and nothing happens...
What the hell is going on? EVERYTHING ELSE works just fine except for receiving text messages
google voice
if you have sprint with Google Voice Enabled on every time you install Google voice it disables incoming text to your number, click on the gear on the right top corner on your Google voice account page - Click Voice Settings - Click Edit on your phone number - make sure this is checked.
Text Settings:
X - Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)
Question #2 --
The sprint guy i'm talking to said he will waive the $100 insurance fee and ship me a new phone if i want.. If i agree to this, will the new phone ship with a 2.3 gingerbread version that is unable to be rooted?
Or have they finally rooted that also? Last i checked i heard people who accepted the OTA update lost their root and there was no way to get it back
I actually just got a refurb a couple of days ago, they seem to all be coming with new hboot. So no root yet.
Well i did re-download google voice, but i never enabled it or even ran it for that matter, and i have sense enabled it and used it.. then disabled it and i still do not get any texts

Not rooted yet but there are a few people working on it. A few days ago a leaked video from AlpharevX showed they unlocked the 3d and sensation, and according to them this method works for all current HTC bootloaders. So if you don't mind not having root for a while get one, if not then don't switch. Who knows how long before a root method actually gets out for the Evo with 2.3.3. Could be today or next month.
did you try what i mentioned above go to google.com/voice (on your computer) and make sure that option is on. This only happens when you Enable your sprint number with Google voice.
Yes i have been on google voice all morning, but when i click on the gear in the top corner now nothing happens, i cant get into settings ever since i disabled google voice, all that happens is a little blue bar appears on the same page.. are you suggesting that i re-download google voice, set it up again and then i'll be able to go back into the account settings? because so long as it's disabled i am unable to view any google voice setting page

That's weird... it might be your browser it should let you add a number even though you don't have any on there.

I found this thread in the google voice and my issue has apparently happened to this person also and he was not able to resolve it, and actually had to get a new phone.. Which is what i think I'M going to have to do, but i DONT want to do that because i hate SENSE, and i want to run MIUI... but there is no root for the new OTA 2.3 gingerbread, does anyone have ANY IDEAS? how can i completely disconnect google voice?

Panic Eye.. I have re-downloaded google voice, and i am using it now.. as it's the only way i can get text messages, after searching and searching i have found a plethora of people who are having my exact same issue.. and i have yet to find a single one who has found a fix for the problem.. all of them say that sprint just suggests new phones to them.. this is nuts.. it's obviously a google voice issue, but no matter how many times i disable google voice from my pc, or from my phone, it doens't fix it.. I've even done a full factory reset and didn't log into my gmail account.. which should definitely get rid of any google voice crap, but it doesn't .. so maybe it's a phone problem? i have no idea.. i'm completely stumped

Honestly I doubt it's your phone, it has something to do with sprint/google integration. I would try to convince a Sprint rep to deactivate and reactivate your phone, can't really think of anything else you could do besides attempting to re-enable Google Voice with the Google Voice app and try to access the settings on the browser again.
Bump -- Any help at all? Has no one else ever experienced this
not receiving sms
I believe I have the same problem. It's pretty frustrating.
So, I've been trying to get SMS working through google voice on my NC, with the latest nightly of CM7 running.
I got the latest "working" google voice I could find linked here on the forums. Got it setup and was able to get the voicemails on my account...
My issue though, is that I can't for the life of me get texting to work. Most of the threads I find on here about it are mostly people saying "It just worked for me." ...unfortunately, that doesn't really help if it didn't "just work".
Anyone have any tips on how to get it working, if it doesn't out of the box?
try DESKSMS

I Use DeskSMS for all my texting, its by far the best. It can link up through several accounts, and i use Trillian as my client, but you can use any client.(which i got free from Amazon free app day a while ago)....its still apparently in Beta, and i think its almost finished. Ive had it from the very beginning. Its FREE right now on the market, until they release the final version. Hope this helps...at least with the texting its flawless!
Bobby
Thanks for the info.
DeskSMS looks like it links up to itself running on your phone. I'm not really looking for something like that (phone's old school and not a droid) since it's not really a viable option.
I see people talking about how they are using Gvoice to send texts. Which is what I'm trying to get working, but it just absolutely refuses to. Like I was saying, I can access voicemails through the gvoice app. When I try to send a message in the messaging app, all I get is a "Service is unavailable" message.
I use the latest version in the market and have never had a problem with it.
This right here is your problem:

You need to use the Google Voice app to send the SMS messages, not the native Android App.
Thanks dormido.
I actually just saw something about that while I was browsing around between the last post and yours.
The posting I had found said something about hitting "t" to bring up the texting window. I haven't gotten the keyboard up in the GV app yet, but I guess I'll have to look at it a little more since I have confirmation that's how it's done now.
Thanks
Actually....
I figured this out now.
Apparently, since I've had the same google voice number since it was closed beta (and haven't really used it since). It didn't have all the features enabled anymore. The site was missing the voicemail and text widgets as well. Changed to a new Gvoice number in settings, and it all works fine now.
I feel like an idiot for it being such a basic fix.
I decided to start this thread to try and help people like me who want sprint's visual voice mail working with Cyanogen 9 on their Epic 4G. Seeing how this is an issue ignored by developers, and shunned upon google voice fans.
Please do not say use google voice as this is no the discussion for this thread.
Here's what I have gotten with my attempts, anyone else feel free to contribute and maybe we can come up with a solution.
I tried using a backup restored from EL30 into CM9 through Titanium Backup, no message updates, and crashing every time I try to send a message to [email protected].
I grabbed the Sprint VVM apk from the latest Epic 4G Touch leak that is ICS in hopes of having more luck, but here were the results:
Loads up OK,
Goes through account verification on every app startup
No new Voice Mails showing (tested by me calling my phone from land line)
Still getting 9016 text message.
I can record and compile the activation message OK, but as of 30 minutes, it's still sitting in outbox after multiple attempts to resend. No luck.
Does anyone know if there's dependencies the VVM apk relies on for sprint to phone communications?
What luck has others taken and what are your results?
If I can get this issue, and possibly find a way to get the PRL updates back, then ICS will be golden and good for everyday use for me (Main thing is the VVM)

I installed the same vvm. Worked with no problems on the first try and haven't had a problem yet. Only been a short time, but had the GF call a few times and it works every time.
Worked for me too. Still get the 9016 text but got my voicemail in 5 seconds.

Successes
So when you two installed it, it worked flawlessly (minus the text issue) out of the gate?
As I sit now, I still have not received my voice mail and I'm now wondering what is different between my install and yours.
I currently get an account verification error with Visual Voice Mail version T5.2.1.0 taken from a copy of epic 4G Touch FC07.
I installed this copy by transferring the APK to my SDCard, then using ES File Explorer to install.
I just tried resetting the data through the applications management through settings, it loaded up the default two messages (about and welcome). Then gives me the account verification error prompt, then the customize mailbox prompt, but no message downloading. What ideas do you two have that could help.
did you try uninstalling and reinstalling?
Uhhh, I might be missing something but to quote the CM9 team from their Facebook page. "Sprint Visual Voicemail now works on CM9, meaning we now have three options for visual voicemail on Epic! Read the Customization Guide for CWM5 flashable .zip and setup instructions if you want to use it. Be aware that there are currently glitches.
Cyanogenmod Epic 4G: Customization Guide"

Apology maybe? I dunno Google Voice is amazing!

Based on your suggestion, I just did, still no effect though.
When you go to Personalize voicemail in voicemail settings, does it do anything for you? For me it doesn't do anything.
As much as I like VVM it gives me trouble on CM7 and 9. An outgoing VM gets stuck and its the activation VM to get the services started. As a solution I just downloaded youmail from the market and it does the job. Its got a few advertisements but at least I dont miss important messages. Hope this helps!
Solved
OK, after seeing the posting about the facebook link, I did check it out and tried it. That did seem to solved the solution at least temporarily. There is some rendering issues, really minor, but after sending me a voice message, I did receive the rest of my voice mails (and the texts with them).
To answer one of my original questions, there does appear to be a dependency somewhere that's been missing. I opened the zip file to find a second file in it called 80-sprint-vvm.sh which I assume is a form of work around script.
Me not having any programming language knowledge couldn't say the details of the sh file, but I'm sure more knowledgeable people can decipher it.
I will see if I can come up with a full solution that can be more permanent, but for now this upgrades Cyanogen 9 to daily driver status. Another note, I noticed my topic quickly jumped to the top of google's search results for Cyanogen 9 Visual Voice Mail, so maybe there was some good out of this.

If you haven't tried the CWM zip file mentioned at the facebook link, give it a shot. It worked for me at least. Install it, then compose a voice mail to yourself, and the rest followed along.
Gah.
I flashed, and when I rebooted phone, it automatically provisioned the app before i even opened it.
I cant' get the VMs to appear there, only can get to them through dialer.
What is this moron (me) doing wrong? I'm missing a step somewhere...

You are not the only one. Edfunkycold is having the same problem as well as a few others. I already had the voicemail semi-working and provisioned on my phone before installing the E4GT version. And that worked immediately after installing.

I posted on several threads to see if anyone has any ideas how to get this working. Mine provisioned, set all up I get the text message but the app doesn't download voicemails and I don't even get the voicemail notification icon. I know the VM is there because of the 9016 text but I still have to dial 1 on the dialer to manually get to my voicemails. Anyone out there throw some ideas out, I just can't stand when something is supposed to work and doesn't.
