voicemail upgrade - EVO 4G General

There is a voicemail upgrade notification on my evo, but when I try to download it, it just fails. Anyone know what the new upgrade does? or have the APK (if that's what it is)

Just a sprint update...are you rooted running a custom rom?

I am. Is that the problem?

Assuming you're using Fresh, use the fresh updater (or appropriate equivalent for your phone otherwise) and it will be in the tweaks section, after you add the proper theme server to the list.

Cool didn't know t that stuff was in there

[request] Stock Android Dialer for 2.1

Would it be possible for anyone to post the stock android dialer found on Nexus One?
Thx.
Hopefully the right one.
I think thats the HTC dialer isnt it?
Nope, It's from a Nexus dump i believe.
Blue phone icon, same as Nexus.
Thx, will try later.
Sadly, it doesn't work. It says phone.android.com not found.
You just wanna have the Icon? Serach for "SMS unread count" App in the Market. It has the icons for gmail sms and phone + widget support witht he little iphone like counters etc. you know?
Its a good App!
greets
That is the 2.1 update1 stock phone/dialer app from Nexus. I doubt you can install it to a stock ROM, maybe even a mod ROM.
Like nodq said, if you just want the icon, use something from the market.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I don't need the icon, this would be pretty silly, I wanted to use the dialer, because I like it better than the Sense one. I know DailerOne is similar, but still to confusing, with all the swyping gestures.
Ahh, then I think the only way to get that is either play around with the file and make it compatible, or flash a ROM with it.
Don't like DialerOne either, its too much effort just to find contacts.

Question for Devs on MOD Mms.apk

Ok so I modified the the none bubble Mms.apk for froyo to allow 5mb and high quality (1920x2560) transfers. I'm able to send them fine and I know this cause my friend with an iphone can get them as I sent them.
however if she sends me a pic, my epic will download the high quality pic (700kb), but when I save it to the memory card its only (93kb) and 640x480...
Anyone know why this is?
Is it just a save issue or is the phone not really downloading the full 700kb it says it is?
Thanks...
EDIT:
never mind, I figured it out

It might be nice to say what you did in case someone else has this issue and comes upon your post in search.
Hey would you mind posting the working version.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok basically it was a settings issue within the app itself...
you need to go into the Mms settings and under "Custom User-Agent" select "Custom" then enter any name you want for the custom user agent... You might need to restart the messaging app, but I tested it and was able to save at full 2560x1920 ...
I'm going to post the modded Mms as an update.zip in case anyone wants to use it...
It's only been tested on froyo.
you might need to clear the messaging data...
settings>applications>manage applications>All>messaging>clear data
Would u be able to do something lik thi with the bubble version ms.apk of froyo?? If so would it be too much to trouble you for that?

[BETA] Root Call Blocker - we need testers with rooted Droids/ Milestones

Im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Droid and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
I'm kind of new to all of this android stuff but i have a rooted Droid 1 running Ultimate Droid 3.3.. I down to help you test..
Please, download the app and start testing - then let me know of any issues and we will go from there!
Test on my rooted Milestone running MIUI 2.3.4. It worked properly but not like my expect. Caller heard a short ring in both "reject" and "alternative reject" action. In hidden mode, when I dialed secret code, it didn't show apparently ui. Hope u improve in next release. Thanks.

I had a special issue: My phone is rooted, but sometimes when the program was on idle, my phone connection went off and on, regurlarly.
This is not the app - it will only drop network once on first run, or once on boot. This is well tested, but please send a log anyway, with a description of the error at the top.
Use the "send debug data" menu item.
Works fine for me! The latest update is excellent!

Has your issue been fixed?
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
Just got my Milestone last night. Root blkr working just fine on it. Last version too.
Good to know...
Has voicemail and google voice been fixed?
What problems with google voice? I not having any issues with it.
Since when have you been using the app? At one point people had trouble routing things...
OK I have a A854 milestone with root but now the app will only let me block ONE person and that is a bunch of shiz! I'd love to help ya but can't buy the better app so sorry!
sent from my rooted milestone A854
Ive been using it since day 1 its the best on android.
Mostly now this thread is for reporting errors...
I'll give it some testing on my Optimus 3D - just rooted.
Remember - you are allowed 1 ITEM per profile in the light version, which actually gives you a lot of blocking if you apply your brain properly.

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)

Thanks! It worked on my aria and didn't even reset the wallpaper or accounts that I can tell.

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..
worked for me also but now can not recieve mms
Has anyone tried manually restoring MMS settings?

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.
If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.

[CM7] [VVM] Sprint Visual Voicemail Fixes & Alternatives Discussion

I know many folks are having issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail while on EpicMTD CM7, including myself. I switched to YouMail as an alternative VVM handler, but I may start experimenting with Sprint VVM to see if I can find a reliable fix.
Request: does anyone have a newer version than T.5.1.0.48 of Sprint VVM? If so, please let me know and provide a DL link! PM or in-topic, I don't care--it'll be added to the OP when I notice it. Fixes and alternatives suggestions are welcome, and as soon as I find 'em I'll post them to the OP.
Sprint Visual Voicemail Fixes
-- Backup Method (before flashing CM7)
As the title states, possibly the best method is to create a backup of your Sprint VVM ("Voicemail") and data with your favorite backup software before flashing CM7 or any other non-TouchWiz ROMs.
Flash to CM7
Restore Sprint VVM with data
Note: before creating the backup, be sure to have successfully used the VVM app at least once--this initializes the app and creates several data files that will be needed when you restore app+data.
-- How-To Guide from Evo 4G forums
How-To Reinstall Your Sprint Visual VM under CM7!!!
Note: probably the second-most reliable method, as this also restores data--just not your data, but the data of whoever provided the files!
-- theimpaler747's Sprint VVM flashable .zip
Topic link
Note: should reliably install the VVM app, but does not restore/install any data, thus may or may not work.
Voicemail Alternatives
--Google Voice
Google Voice webpage
Google Voice Android Market web link
--YouMail
YouMail website
YouMail Android Market web link
Added theimpaler747's flashable .zip of the Sprint Visual Voicemail .apk.
Backing up the voicemail app with Titanium backup before flashing CyanogenMod is a way to have it available after the flash via a Restore. That is how I did it.

Yeah, I should have added that already, thanks. In fact, that seems to be the most reliable method. But from what I'm reading around the XDA forums (not just the Epic sub-forum) you must restore data for it to work.
I used a method I found elsewhere (I'll add it shortly) and installed an .apk and copied someone else's Titanium Backup'ed data. It's working, though I'm still getting the system alert texts from 9016. I'm looking into that now...
God I just want the text notifications to stop. I got that on the stock ROM too. So annoying to get multiple notifications of the same thing. Tried youmail, but don't like the way it polls for messages and that it uses more than 3x the ram that stock vvm does.

You should put switching to google voice as an alternative. Anybody with half a brain would use it instead of paying sprint for the same thing with less features.

Oh yeah, I'm so eager to use your suggestion now that you've indirectly insulted me!
I haven't switched for two reasons: a) because I've heard more than one person list drawbacks to Google Voice, though to be honest I can't remember a single specific example; and b) I don't need many features, and I happen to like the simplicity of the Sprint VVM.
I'll add it because some people may find it useful, but in the future you can keep your insulting statements to yourself. Thanks, I suppose? IDK...
I don't use Google voice cause I don't see a way to stop the annoying texts and emails on that either. Otherwise I might. I just want a simple vvm.

All I did was blacklist the 9016 number. Using root explorer I had the stock ei22 ROM and extracted sprint vm and moved it to system/app, then selected it and hit install, went to my app draw opened it and it provisioned. Sprint vm works well and I haven't had a problem yet

I can't use blacklist because I use apw and the messages well still show on the messaging widget even if they are blacklisted in handcent.

Seriously has everyone forgot that apps only simplify things in android and anything in an app can be done manually, albeit a little more time consuming? Including backup/restore.

This one worked perfectly for me, although I did have to reboot into recovery and wipe caches before it would work.
Thank you AmericanJedi001, I updated my post for new users on the dev thread with a link to this super helpful thread.
I think you are the most helpful user on the CM7 forums, here on XDA and over on forum.cyanogenmod.com . Your responses are always thoughtful and comprehensive. It's very nice.
[Edit] I'll add that with Google Voice setup with the Sprint integration, not just a voicemail handler, I do not have the 9016 text message. After setting up Google Voice I set, Phone > Preferences > Voicemail handler > Google Voice.

I've just seen suggestions to be made mostly since I switched to CM7. Yes, I try to only post clear, concise, and comprehensive help topics. Otherwise, what's the point?
