[Q] remove visual voicemail - Epic 4G General

I want to remove visual voicemail due to it not working since I flashed to different a carrier and keeps giving a notification that voicemail can't be retrieved. If anyone could provide me with the name of the apk so that I can remove it. Thanx in advance.

Nobody knows the name of the voicemail apk?

Are you rooted? If so use sdx app remover

Yeah I'm rooted and know how to remove apps from system/app folder however I don't know the name of the apk which is the info I need...thanx

Nm I found the apk which is the visual voicemail.apk. For anyone interested in removing this app its called cm-android.apk. I do suggest making a backup in case you want to restore it.

[Q] Voicemail Cyanogen

I recently just flashed Cyanogen and was shocked to see no voicemail app installed. I searched around and saw google voice stuff but when I tried to set it up it wouldn't work. Can someone help me please?
I believe there should be a flashable zip or the like with all the google apps.

I already flashed Google Apps, and there isn't any voicemail app included in the package.
There isn't an AOSP app for voicemail [besides I guess Google Voice]
Darn, I guess I'll have to pick up my phone from now on.

I believe you can just install sprint voicemail.
Sorry, I'm a noob. I tried searching for the apk in a couple roms, but had no luck. Which rom and where is it?

I suggest Google Voice. It is much better than sprint vvm.
Has anyone ever figured out to get rid of the phantom voicemail notification on cyanogen?

Hit clear under notifications to clear it. Not a permanent solution but it gets rid of it until reboot/tower switch.

ok mr man, what would you suggest that has free voice to text?? and what is so wrong with google voice?
Maybe every one doesn't want voice to text why else is it better

There's no voicemail app, because we had this thing back before smartphones, where you called a number, usually your own, and would get to a audio-prompt voicemail system...
I know, archaic, but most of the world still uses it.

Dowload SPC (free from the market) and blacklist 9016. Works like a champ.
I posted a flashable zip for Sprint VVM a while back which works fine on cm6.x. I use GV for my business line and Sprint VVM for my personal line on the same phone.
Sprint's VVM works just fine on CM6 for me-- no "phantom" VM notifications or anything. You do get text messages from 9016, but I configured Super Private Conversations to blacklist it awhile back and since then I've completely forgotten that was ever an issue.
That's so weird... I just had this problem this morning... after a little browsing, I found the APK for sprints visual voicemail. Simply install it from email and there you go! I'm running cm6 and the sprint vvm is working perfectly. I would definitely suggest that!

DeBing

How can I make google the default search engine, because my wife hates the bing one? It's funny because she's only concerned about having a working phone and even she hates the bing. Its not just us geeks!

RE: Debing
The only way i know of is to root the phone and delete it the forceful way. Or you can flash one of the debinged DL17 roms. look on the developers forum.
Her phone is rooted but I don't want to delete her bing search unless I can put the google one on it.

if you search for the guide on how to debing the fascinate, the process is exactly the same. You don't have to delete the apk that's makes it go to bing, you can just but a .bak after the .apk. the file is in /system/app
I think it's called i500_BingSearchAndroid_*lots of numbers*.apk
I put dolphin hd on her phone and the google service pack for it instead. She's happy

google voice

i installed google voice...integrated it with my sprint phone number...how can i temove it? id rather use vvm again...thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
With the standard google voice service you could do something like *38 to disable google voicemail.
However, this is not an option if you enabled sprint integration. You would first have to disable the sprint integration and then you'll have the option to remove google voicemail.
All this would have to be done from http://voice.google.com of course.
thanks for the reply...problem is..i deleted my gmail acct thinking it would get rid of google voice...any other way to do it?

I think that if you just removed it you "might" be able to re-enable it again.

another question, since i deleted my google acct, when i tried to redownload root explorer from the market, its asking me to buy it again (purchased a while back)...

Not a good move my friend.
You can fill out a form and possibly get your account reactivated. Hopefully you deleted the account only recently. Otherwise you may have to talk with sprint tech support and there's only so much they can do.
Anyways, check out the link below:

Look near the top for the link to the form for deleted accounts and select "No" for the first question.
Let us know how it goes.

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)

Root and know

One more question.
I've rooted and disabled know, but I keep getting this message. What's this about?
Also, I get FCs on a lot of apps either after backing out, or after using them a while. I'm completely stock aside from root and adaway

In Titanium Backup look for something that says Verizon and shows that Shield. Select and uninstall. Believe mine was called that, but I don't know why yours wouldn't be the same. You can also in the interim go into your apps on your phone and find that Icon and long hold, App Info, and Turn Off until you find the App to force Uninstall on TiBu
