Hi guys, I'm having a problem with Cyanogen Mod where it does not recognize my own phone number and does not alert me to new voicemails.
I've done many a search and only found reference to the settings in the advanced call area where I've input my numbers manually but they never seem to save for more than a few hours.
I'm wondering how everyone else is dealing with these issues or if there's something obvious that I'm missing, or maybe this is just a Bell problem now. The lack of voicemail alerts is really the only issue keeping me from using Cyanogen Mod as my daily ROM.
I've been thinking of starting a similar thread myself! It seems other people are having similar issues (with Bell Canada, or in my case Virgin Mobile Canada who use the bell network).
Basically we should be receiving voicemail alerts (in the form of a text message) but are not.
I am on Cyanogen Mod 6.1 Stable using a HTC Legend. I entered the Bell Canada voicemail number myself into the settings (+16473832333)
Does anyone know what could possibly be stopping us from receiving these alerts?
I can confirm that I don't experience this issue with the rooted stock roms including the brand new Froyo 3.15 release.
I have never been able to receive these messages with Cyanogen based roms, Indigo Bean, Azure or Cyanogen 6.1 stable.
How can we start to diagnose the problem?
Hopefully we can get some pointers from the Legend development forum crew!?
Please get involved if you are having a similar issue!
same problem here
I'd love a fix!
I'm with Virgin Mobile (so Bell network) and get the exact same problem!

Multiple people with the same problem (all seem to be in Canada on Bell and Rogers). Also the problem is not just on HTC Legend it seems.
I left a voicemail for myself and took a look at alogcat warnings, don't really know what I'm looking for though

Took a look at Cyanogen issue tracker and couldn't find the issue.
Anyone have any pointers of what to do next?
Here are a couple of posts found elsewhere on the same issue:

Anyone have any luck fixing this, its driving me nuts.
Tested on Blay0's Froyo rom for Legend (based on HTC Froyo), notification and inbox notification works fine.

Quick update:
Using CM7 the phone can now remember its own number so I don't have to input it after each reboot, which is nice.
Still a no-go for voicemail alerts, although I did manage to get an alert pushed to the phone one day randomly. It was a 5 day old message that I hadn't bothered to check that came in both as an alert and text alert, hasn't happened since.
Also, a quick thanks to everyone showing interest in solving this issue.

I got excited when I saw that you got one notification. Too bad it's only 1. I'm keeping an eye on this issue too. I would love to check out the new CM7.
I've gotten voicemail alerts before a few times on cm 6.1 and cm7. I'm on Bell. I mean I certainly don't get them a lot, but i blame that on no one loving me
Is the phone forgetting its number a known issue on CyanogenMod, or is this a rarer bug?
Any other bugs to note before I flash?
I haven't noticed any bugs (aside from it forgetting your phone number) in my week of using it, but I don't use voicemail anyways.
I did a test an left me a message, no notification. cm7
Damn it, I had high (voicemail) hopes for CM7, hmm.

When you say forgetting your phone number do you mean the voicemail number or actual phone number of the phone itself.
Do you think this is connected?

hi there,
i can't say i have issues with the voicemail, as i don't have voicemail, but I can confirm that my legend running cyanogen 6.1.0 on the bell network doesn't konw it's own number.
Settings > About Phone > Status
shows my number as "unknown"
if i enter the number and reboot it's gone.
i called bell a few weeks back and had them do an OTA (over the air) update to my number, and nothing changed.
if i open SIM toolkit, the number is listed in there, but not in the phone itself.
hope that helps a little.
Would anyone be willing to head over to Cyanogen issue tracker and report the voicemail bug? I see there is a similar one for Rogers on the Desire. Wondering if its the voicemail protocol these Canadian providers are using.
https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/
I'm using BlaY0's rom at the moment, so can't do the required alogcat but if someone has CM 6/7 up and running?
I'll see if I can get around to doing that in the near future.
My other reason for posting again is that I just recieved a text message alert notifying me of 3 new voicemails. These are fairly old voicemails from earlier this week that I never bothered to check (just returned the calls), but it's nice to see that they can come through... just not when I need/want them to, lol.

Well its something at least! I'll flash a nightly when I get the chance and check it out also
Got around to flashing RC4 on the Legend, great rom, but as suspected no surprises, still not getting voicemail notification (voicemail symbol/SMS) unfortunately.
Anyone of you BELL users knows if the bugs still exist ?
I'd like to try the CM stable or NIghtly provided all of the commonly used functions are *usable* ( or have work arounds)
Right now i'm on blayo and this is the only ROM i used since i rooted a while back... never bothered with the other ROMS because they each have something not working ... but i'd like to try something new for a change

Has anyone installed this and seen any drastic improvements? I believe the last SMS update they released did absolutely no good. Is this something you should install even if you have ROM versions 1.66.XXX.X?
Sure would be nice to have them fix these issues from locking up during heavy sms usage once and for all.

Usually they say a ROM version number as the one listed has the fix built in.
Here is the link for all the latest HTC updates for the HD2 and this New- SMS update is out after the latest ROM update? That doesn't make sense? They have screwed up the SMS'ing of this phone from the very beginning. That being said, if they could ever fix it, I wouldn't want anything else.
2 questions in one....
will this new update work with my xannytech 2.3 evolution??
Update for HTC HD2 – New SMS Function Update
This update for HTC HD2 amends the internal management of SMS functionality, and enhances SMS transmission stability, and lets you reach out to your friends and family with instant notifications. Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers just that: fast and reliable SMS messaging.
i ask this because, we all know that the reception or signal on the hd2 is not the best. But , when i send a text and there is no signal i would like the phone to Try and send the text as soon as a signal is recieved on its own. Find it very annoying having to wait or look for a signal (normally putting phone down) to then quickly resend the message before the signal is lost. Im sure every other phone iv had waits till a receotion then sends. Is there a setting iv missed? Or maybe the hd2 actually does this but hours later?
hope you get where im comming from
thanx for any help....

I've had this happen occasionally since I got my X10 running the original firmware (014). I tried for quite some time to isolate where the problem was coming from but to no avail.
I did start a thread about it about a month back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724746
The phone had been good for a few weeks (I was running mostly 023 at the time), but then had this happen again yesterday when my fiancee called me.
I think it may have to do with the caller ID in some way, because I've never had it happen when I received a call from someone not in my phonebook. However, the majority of calls I receive are from people in my phonebook, so that may just be coincidence.
You just gave me a great hint. i only have this problem with people calling from my phonebook. I don't have the roger caller ID since 12 bucks on top is pretty much robbing me and it never show me the phone numbers.
I don't think it is that, but i will give a few tests.
I do have caller ID through Rogers, so I don't think it would be the lack thereof causing it.
I did try in the past deleting all my phone contact's photos, but that didn't seem to help.
look like only you and me having this problem.
You mind listing apps that auto run and ran before it happen ?
From this thread and my experience it seems as if the Vibrant based roms (Cog 2.4) do not have this issue. This lead me to cruise around the vibrant section and I found a couple useful files.
Applying sombionix's modified TW MMS file on clockwork has seemed to have fixed the issue for me. I do need to use/test it for a little longer to be sure. I triedseveral times to reproduce the bug and it is texting the right people If it didn't have that stupid gloss look it would be perfect
I am going to give this a tryCyanogenMod 6 MMS Modified for puzzle lock by untermensch . Since it is part of CM this should 100% not have the issue, and it is nicely modified to make use of the puzzle lock screen.
---------------------------
From what I understand this is an issue with all froyo roms, I have experienced this with most cognition builds since 2.2b3-2.3b3. When switching between a message conversation and new messages in the stock messaging app, messages are often sent to the wrong person.
I am going to try my best to describe what I believe leads to the problem, these steps may not replicate the issue exactly:
1. I must have just recieved and replied to a message conversation with "individual A"
2. I receive a message from "individual B"
3. Without leaving A's conversation I pull down the notification bar, and access "B's" new message and conversation.
4. while viewing "individual B's" conversation i try to send a reply to B, but it switches me back to "individual A's" conversation and sends them the reply (instead of B).
This has been very frustrating, embarrassing, and incriminating -- especially when I have accidentally sent messages to my boss, mother, and certain coworkers that don't understand some of the "things" me and my friends txt about.
I have created this thread to hopefully get everyone thinking about a way to fix this. In my opinion this is one of the biggest bugs with the Froyo roms.
If you have something constructive to add please join in the discussion. Suggestions like, do not use the notification bar, or install handcent are not helpful.
Thanks!
I use chompsms and have never had that problem, even with the quick reply feature.
I use the default sms, and have no such problem.
Get rid of the ( and ) in your contact numbers.
I don't know what to tell you man, I just tried this on Cog 2.3b3 and couldn't replicate your problem.
Perhaps you haven't found all required pieces to replicate the issue.
And shouldn't this be in the general Q&A forum?
I too have had this problem. Has gotten me in a lot of trouble also I just don't use the notification bar anymore. Your not the only one

I have had the issue with some of the ROMs. With 2.4, everything seems ok.
wow! I have not had this problem yet, but thanks for the heads up. this could really get me in trouble with the wifey.
This *almost* got my ass on fire. Thankfully it was vague and didnt cause any alarms. We gotta figure it out, and also. When i open up the messaging app from the icon on the home screen, instead of going to the person i was talking to last, it goes to someone in the middle of the convo list.
Now i made it a habit of looking at who im texting before clicking on the send button.

Im running cog 2.2 and gonna upgrade to 2.4 to see if that fixes the problem.
I just switched to cog 2.3b4 from 2.4.1 and the issue is back. I am gonna try using the Mms.apk from the vibrant build to sweet if that fixes the problem.
It is annoying that my first couple hours on 2.3.b4 I already noticed the bug. I didn't have any issues with 2.4.1 in the few days I used it.

I don't restore texts and I get this issue a lot. It seems to happen most when I'm already in one persons text, I get a notification for a new text from another person, so I go to the text using notification pulldown. Once i type and hit reply, it moves the text to the person who's text I was in before I recieved the new one.
I hope that wording makes sense lol.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841011 I just flashed that in cwm and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
I will see if it fixes the problem completely. It is really easy to apply if anyone else wants to try it.

Because you use hand cent is exactly why you don't get it.
I just about got into this very trouble the other day. I am running cog 2.4.1, and if I reply to a message from the drop down menu from the top, it sends it to the last person I was talking to in the messaging folder. Regardless of who it says you are texting! This really needs to be fixed. The person I'm talking about isn't always the last one I talked to!

Whoa, you got the issue on 2.4? I usually have the bug effect me once every couple days, but while on 2.4 I haven't noticed. I have been trying to make it happen with the vibrant mms.apk, but I haven't been effected yet.
I really hope designgears notices this problem and helps fix outif it exists in the vibrant based roms too.
Yep. And I do not restore messages either. When I wipe one, I wipe it!
I think it can be reproduced by going to the messages folder and texting some one. (Person a) then after you have replayed to person a, have person b text u. Answer with the pull down menu from the top. It worls the first time, not after that, and although it says its going to person b, it is really going to person a. Some times it takes several seconds for the names to change. I actually sent 3 txt back to back to the wrong person! Had to hit the back button to get back to the root of the message folder to see they all went to the wrong person. It clearly said it was going to person b!
I recently upgraded my Atrix to GB 2.3.4 (official 4.5.91) and found that the SMS/MMS settings has changed. I could not find the option "Delivery report" anymore. And my phone now always indicates the pending (a clock) icon on side of every outgoing sms, though it really has been delivered already.
Anyone else got this problem? Is this a bug from GB 2.3.4 from Google or Motorola??
Pls someone check this for me?

The delivery report option was missing for me since the beginning. I never had it in Froyo
It works fine in 2.2.2 and now after 2.3.4 OTA update its gone - no app can turn it on. I tryed to edit settings.mkitso from 0 to 1 (turn on SMS delivery) even try to use special characters but no way to get delivery report even in such apps like headcent sms and go sms which are used own settings for this option. Looks like it kernel or radio based thing that just filter off delivery reports! ((
Yeah, I spent rather much time to search and try some solutions to fix but failed to all.
So, now its really a bug from new kernel, I think.
I just created this thread to collect confirmations from people and hope Moto or developers fix it soon

This is a basic function of any GSM mobile phone. But I cannot understand why they guys from Motorola decide to remove it from a smartphone as Atrix? Ist it unnecessary??

I'm using Cherryblur 1.4d and checking the settings, it doesn't have the options to send sms reports.
Besides that my messages is ok.
of course its not it stock sms messaging - any third side apps - headcent sms or GoSMS have this flag.
I tried different versions of radio module -it doesn't solve the problem.
I'd like to bump this again, really miss this feature.
Please can a dev look into it and find out what's missing from the GB roms. Thanks.

Yeah, just noticed the same problem as well. Atrix on 2.3.4 (pre-installed), rooted. No delivery reports for me, using GoSMS pro.
Another bump for this....really need someone to figure this out. I'll put a bounty up - let's start a fund.
I also want this feature. Why on Earth would anybody want to remove this option??
Sorely missing this.. I don't get any types of confirmation anymore.. It really sucks when you are in a fight with your girlfriend....
Even if It sends.... and I long press on it, there is only a message details option, no delivery or read report anymore... WTF??

I've just found the fix for this bug in the HomeBase rom of Seanzcreams by his descriptions, but I dont test it yet. Someone who using this rom can confirm to me abiut this issue? Does it work?
+1 delivery report need
well, i should stay with froyo.
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who's not getting notifications for their carrier voicemail. This fix worked for me and was a little hard to find. It should work for all CDMA phones (the string is not present, nor is a similar string on my T-Mobile SGS3). I take no credit for the actual fix. Requires root (does that even need to be said?).
Possible fix:
There could be a string missing in a settings file, /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml
<string name="vm_number_key_cdma">##########</string>
Click to expand...

Where ########## is your 10 digit phone number.
If you just edit that file (make a back up if you want to be safe) and add the line above somewhere between the <map> </map> XML tags, replacing the ########## with your phone number (no dashes or parentheses), then reboot, you should be getting notifications again.
Check out the source for more info.

I have had the issue for as long as I can remember it seems, no matter the rom. Its to the point I expect it and/or just have learned to accept it. I don't get that many lately for it to be a huge huge deal besides the whole job hunting process lol Tried prolly most things things have popped up over time but no solid fixes. With messing around I can get it to pop up a few times and it is always delayed or random when it does and it will also stick in the status bar for a bit even after clearing any unread till it randomly goes away or I clear the responsible/corresponding system apk's data. and that be the most I ever see of it, a downfall i guess & either you deal with it or your don't I suppose.

Voicemail indicator worked in 4.1.x, but broke in 4.2.x. there is only one ROM - GEE-WIZ, where the dev actually figured out what was wrong and fixed it. It is now my daily driver, although I miss some of the AOKP features. None of the other developers have picked up the fix and implemented it in their ROMs. The voice mail indicator problem has to do with the code looking for a SIM card and not finding it. Eveyone else seems content with using google voice as a work around, I don't find that a good solution, except when I want a few laughs from bad transcriptions.
I just wanted to say that this actually sort of got notifications working for me again. I'm using a Droid Incredible 2 running PAC 4.2.2, and ever since upgrading to it, I would not receive voicemail notifications.
I made the appropriate change to the file, rebooted, left a voicemail in my box, rebooted again, and I had a notification saying that there was a message waiting!
The reason I say "sort of working" is because I didn't receive the notification while waiting directly after leaving the message. Normally, I'll receive a new voicemail notification within a minute of one being left. But, I suppose this is better than nothing.
If any new developments or fixes are found, please update this thread!
Its still broke. Voicemail notification has always come up after a reboot but that is of no use. This is not an improvement.
