Tmobile message 129 - Vibrant General

Anyone know how to fix/eliminate tmobile voicmail notification texts (129) ? These are the crazy encrypted texts that come from 129 everytime you listen to or delete your voicemail.
I am using bi-winning with overclock 2.2.1

I am guessing you activated Visual Voicemail on your account before? I doubt this is something you can fix by tweaking the ROM. Try turning off your visual voicemail (on the account) first.

get visual voicemail from the market, go to greetings tab, hit menu, go to settings, deactivate visual voicemail, test it.
that should turn the text messages off.

Won't that disable VVM? I'm seeing a few people suggest that, is everyone just using the standard voicemail or is there a better option then Visual Voice Mail?

depends.. i use VVM as it is convinient, but at this point it's a nuisance with the text msgs.
honestly, i can do with or without VVM. In this case, i'll have to do without.

I just added 129 to my black list to stop the messages an it stoped! I use (afirewall apk) an it works good

Whats up with voicemail ?

Just noticed that i have 15 voicemails which never showed up....Doesnt Vibrant have regular voice mail ? I erased visual voicemail client (i believe it was a tmobile app) and i dont get any voicemails...??
EDIT: also noticed that under voicemail settings i am not able to change the number (it doesnt allow me)
I am having the same issue. I have mine rooted and deleted visual voice app. Ever since, no notifications show up for voicemail. May try to re-install VV. Anyone have any ideas other than this?
Using Google voicemail now......
why did you delete visual voicemail?!
is it possible that your account still has visual voicemail on it and not regular? Not sure if it matters in terms of tmos system

I re-installed VV but did not activate it. Now my voicemail notifications show up in the notification bar. Have always been on the fence about using Google Voice.
Uninstalled visual voicemail because i don't need it, I have never used it on nexus one as well. So is that the reason for not getting any notification on vibrant ? Is stock app a tmobile app from market ?

Google Voice my new Messaging app? G-Voice Integration

So, I recently activated the Google Voice + Sprint integration and certain things about it are absolutely awesome. My only gripe with it is that all text messages are now coming in to my G-Voice app and ignoring the default messaging app on my phone. I can reply from my Messaging app and it shows up in G-Voice but new texts that come in skip the Messaging app completely.
Has anyone found a way around this behavior? G-Voice app is a nice-enough messaging client, but by no means ideal.
That's the reason I de-integrated.
There is a fix I will post back when I'm at a computer.

not an expert, in fact, i use my evo as a wifi device only. But im somewhat certain that you can edit these settings while you are logged on to google voice on a computer.
don't need to integrate to use GV...been using GV as my voice mail forever!!
Only issue is that you will have to maintain two different numbers...your Sprint number and your GV number.
Set up you can set up your GV as your voicemail...by having conditional call forwarding on your phone. Do believe I set it up thru Sprint directly...having the call forwarded to my GV number if the phonecall goes unanswered. From there the rules are set thru GV as to which outgoing message to play depending on what number is calling.
Haven't had a problem with getting voicemail at all.
Messaging can still be done thru your sprint number (using your or whichever messaging app) and you can still txt using GV (but it'll be thru your GV number)
Um in the Google voice app in setting u can tell it too send sms as a text to your phone. Doing it right now and turned off Google voice notifications for sms

All you need to do is go into the Google Voice application, go to Menu, Settings, Sync And Notifications, and take the check out of the send text message box.
Next.
Log into your Google Voice account on your computer and then click on teh gear icon in the top right hand corner of the page to go into your Google Voice Setting.
Click on the Voicemail Tab and then under the section "Voicemail Notifications" take the check out of both boxes.
You will now no longer receive text messages when you get a voicemail on Google Voice, but you will receive a notification on your phone just like Spring VVM use to do.
Hope that helps.
I think you guys are missing the point. There is no way to separate sms from GV after the integration. You can enable the standard sms app on your cell phone via the online GV settings. Problem with that is you will get 2 notifications from every text received - one from GV and one from the sms app. There is no way to remove notifications from the GV app for sms only.
To make use of the stock sms app on your phone log into GV online, then goto settings> phones> and click edit under your number, then select send texts to this phone. Still you have the issue I noted above.
No you don't. First you change the GV via your browser as you instructed. Then, in your GV phone application you uncheck All boxes in the Sync and Notifications section of the Settings. My phone is behaving as it used to prior to integration. I feel that it is important to integrate in case I want to use my number on someone else's phone, internationally, etc.

Yes, the same way Sprint's VVM currently does, I'm doing this now on CM7, Google Voice is integrated to work that way, when I get a voice mail I don't get an SMS or an email, it just notifies me on my phone in the notification area, does this on a standard EVO rom also.
Just follow the directions I laid out and it will work fine, I've tested it.

Oh, so it notifies you via text. that's still kinda annoying. Yiu have to open the text to find out you have a vm, and then open GV to get the vm. I just turned off notifications in my sms app instead. That way sms goes to high the sms app and GV, but I'm only notified by GV.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I understand your gripe .... I found it rather annoying as well, so I went a different route and removed GV all together.
When I thought about it there was no point to having it. Instead, I go into the GV app, and select to forward SMS to my phone. I then tell GV to forward VM notifications to my email account. Basically it's the same net result: a email is sent with the transcribed message and a link to play back the voice mail. As a final fix, I made sure the messages went to Gmail so I could tag them and thus easily filter my voice mail.
I would love if GV could notify of voice-mails only ... that way SMS would get forwarded to my SMS app without appearing to get received twice, but I couldn't find an easy way to do that. The other method of turning off all notifications ends up sending a text notification which is not as clean to me IMO.

So my phone stopped receiving calls (would ring on the calling side but never rang on my side) and texts. Tried everything and decided to give up and disable this merge. Figured it was too unreliable to be worthwhile.
BTW, what happens if you have cell reception but no data reception? Will your phone not work? That's dumb if that's the case.

So not installing the app and using your phone like normal except for getting an email pushed to is clunky please explain. Intregation wasnt meant to be mind blowing on a device that already has that number but using your sprint number on your house phone and texting people from a tablet with a number they know

Can I ask why you think google voice is a voip that,last sentence you have reads like you have no idea what this service is about.
Google voice will not make calls over 3g it will send sms over 3g but only.in.the app you can have sms sent to you just like you always have and not need to use the google voice app.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's clunky because I have to open the email, then click the link to download the voice message as an attachment via the web browser, and then open the attachment, which is played with the music app. It's clunky when it takes 3 apps to do what can be easily done with one app.

Debate Visual Voicemail V.S. Google Voicemail!!!!

Ok I am going to start some crap!!! Keep it civil of course I want to hear from you guys which is better for you.
Pros for Visual Voicemail.
1. Allows you to keep you custom ringtones for text messaging.
2. You get your messages via sprint visual text message app and email.
3. Does not interfere with your voicemail message box set up.
4. Does not require background data to be on to receive messages saving tons of Battery life.
5. Allows you to receive your texts through you text messaging application.
Cons for Visual Voicemail.
1. You can not keep track of your voicemail text message with one application.
2. Does require a data plan for text messages.
3. I don't think the application does thread messaging.
4. You can only save your message for 30 days I think?
5. Cost $1.99 per month.
Pros for Google Voicemail.
1. Slick interface one shop for text message and voice messages.
2. Intergates with google voice.
3. Sends voicemail to your gmail account.
4. It is free!!!!
Cons for Google Voicemail.
1. Required data background on to receive messages.
2. Interferes with text messages so they don't play through your text messaging application.
3. No individual customizable ringtones for text messages.
4. You have to set up a voice message through google voice and manage your account online.
I personally like Visual Voicemail better than google voice. If google voice did not require us of background data and if it had customizable individual ringtones for each person especially text messages I would like google voice better.
I'm using Google voice for my Voicemail only right now. I don't use the Google Voice app. I prefer it over Visual voicemail because of the transcriptions. I use Handcent for SMS so I still have custom notifications for voicemails.

What is the difference between the Google Voice and the Google Voice app?
You can use google voice without it interfering with your native sms app. You just have to set it to not use your number as your google voice number. (I think you have to do this online) You can still use the google voice app and have native sms.

Ok, this may sound stupid, but what do these bring to the table, over the standard free VM/Text Msg app included with android
Is it simply the VM messages are typed out for you?
Or is there some major advantage to be gained, by using the free google or the paid visual VM
I may get a VM once every other month or so, so I just dont use VM pretty much at all, most of my friends have graduated to the 21st century and use texting over VM, so if I do get a VM, I know it is probably not anything I care about.
I use GV and I get both vm and txt through the stock messaging app. I don't use the GV app at all

I use Google voice to sent and receive text messages at work so I'm not on my phone at all.
I use it also for voice mail transcriptions but I only get voice mail about once a month.

I recently installed Google Voice to integrate with my Sprint number, and now all my texts go to the GV app. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the texts go to my messaging app (Handcent). I tried calling Sprint, and they had no clue. Could you (or someone) please post some specific instructions? Thanks in advance.

Can you post the google voice so I can download it and use it. I believe they only have the google voice application on the android market. I can not find google voice only the google voice application on the android market place.
If you log into it google voice account from a pc. I was able to force the messages to forward to my phone and see them on my regular messaging app and turn off notifications for gv texts. But then my gv app still showed all the texts. Kind defeated the purpose.

Just uninstall the gv app. It sends the transcripted voicemails tour your stock sms app. Since sprint converted to GV you dont need the GV app

1. If you intergrate your number to google voice you dont need the app, so it doesnt need the data backround running.
2. If you intergrate your number it sends it to the stock sms app
3.This one may be true I havent figured out away to change this
4.This is true but it also means that it backs up all your vm and txt online. You can also dail 1 and get into and listen to your vm from your phone.
In my opinion I live the GV intergration. Ive been able to get rid of two apps that constantly run in the system(Visual VM app, and a call blocking app). I get all my txt and vm's sent to the stock sms app and I can txt and call from my computer. It also has call blocking which our phone is missing. If you intergrate your number it allows you to do all this, but if you dont and just want the extra number you have to keep the apps.
I used Google Voice for just over a year for the voicemail...I liked getting my VM's transcribed, but the quality of the transcriptions was often nearly on readable.
I've recently switch to using the Visual Voicemail included on the Epic for 2 reasons:
1. The Google Voice app seems take up an inordinate amount of resources
with the background service it's running.
2. The transcription quality seems to be much better.
(even for some of my friends who have thick accents )
So I guess my opinion is I'll give them to $2 a month if the service is reliable and quality.
The GV integration will be great if they deduct the charge for txt from my sprint bill, they integration isnt so clunky, they get VVMs transcription engine (not that I use it). Just seems sprint dumping off resources onto google and still charging us for them. One advantage I thought I had was to be able to get txt thru wifi via GV, but this doesnt seem the case... like I said, clunky... but I will love for my sprint bill to go down... yah, like they would do that. Plus Google needs to ditch the white backgrounds, I know theres custom apps, but by default the most annoying scheme? I think google stuff will be great, if it gets off the ground and sticks... then they can really invest time and thought into it...
If you already use Google Voice for a seperate phone number for business, you can't set up seperate outgoing messages. Visual Voicemail without the stupid texts that are always soooooo wrong is free. I was happy to see it supplied with EG22 again. If they were able to seperate outgoing messages for those calling your regular Sprint number from those calling your Google Voice number I would only use the one app. But since they don't use both voicemails for 2 numbers.

I don't have my Sprint number integrated, but this is how I stopped the text forwarding to Google talk when it started happening on my phone.
1) Log into you Google Voice account on your computer.https://www.google.com/voice
2) Click on the gear in the upper right hand corner and then click "voice settings."
3) Click "edit" under the your phone number.
4) There should be a "text setting" with a check box next to "receive text on this phone." Uncheck it and click save.

You need to go into the settings. And put a check on send a text to your number and un check send email so it will send the vm to your stock msg app. And I get my txts just fine in the stock app so I'm not sure about that

If you use sprint google intergration with your sprint number it will interfere with text based location services such as lookout mobile security as th text is sent to a web text server and not to your cellphone. Think of it like outlook email when you setup sprint google intergration in that all your text and voice messages are stored in the g cloud.

Is there a program similar to Visual Voicemail (TMOBIL) but for AT&T?

I need a app that notifies me when I have voice mails.
Something along the lines of an icon letting me know I got voice mail. Does anyone have any suggestion? I run a business and notice I had 17 voice mail but I had no notification that I had new voice mails.

If that's the case you should be able to trick the app into thinking your on a differnt device...like with some build.prop edits or something...idk lol

I use Google Voice as well. So far so good.
I use the visual voicemail with AT&T. I believe it gives me a counter. I will have to look the next time I get a voicemail.
The service is free if you are on the new share everything plans. In fact it turns out you have to ask for a plan without visual voicemail if you don't want it.
UPDATE: no counter numbers. Just the notification icon.

visual voicemail apk verizon note 3

I recently rooted with kingo and installed safestrap and flashed jellybeans rom for my Verizon note 3. My visual voicemail app is gone and was wondering if anyone has a link for it? I have been searching endlessly and cant find it. this rom is super sweet but I do enjoy my visual voicemail app which was said to not be removed. thanks for any help guys. (no I didn't back up my stock rom so cant get it from there)
if you have any question about the rom I flashed let me know. customization to the max!!!
I don't even have the capibilities to get Visual Voice mail.
Why would that even be possible? I have a smart phone, I want a program to manage my voice mails, not a phone system that's 100 years old.
Is there a way to get free VVM? do i just call in and enable it?
Also, idk if its just me, but I don't get actual notifications.
Facebook doesnt even tell me" You have a new notification" it just has the badge.
For EVEYR OTHER app I have no matter what it is, it just says that: "You have a new Message, Unread email, Notification" but not the content of the notification.
What am I missing here?
I though Android was better than iOS
If your gonna start saying stuff implying that ios is better without first figuring out how to work your phone then gtho and buy an iSheep

I tried it on MJ7 and it didn't function. It did install correctly, though (Hmmm. I didn't have TiBu for this device; crap I can't remember if I was able to DL it from the market or if I grabbed the .apk from a different device)
The pre-installed (Touchwiz?) Voicemail app seems to work exactly the same way - voice messages are locally cached onto your phone. (No evidence of a 3G/4G call in progress when you "listen to a voicemail".)
Hmmm. I think I am being billed by Big Red a couple bux/mo for the "privilege" of using that app. Mebbe I should call them.
beanstown106 SHOULD HAVE PROVISIONED FOR THIS!
Yeah, so now that a service I pay for is now "eliminated from the OS", and there seems to be no .apk that will be available...

lol There is no "extraneous crap" that comes along with Google voice... I've literally been using it ONLY for visual voice mail for like 4 years now, and I couldn't live without it (it's very easy to disable using it for calls or sms).
I don't know how Verizon's VVM works (it's probably crap), but the best thing about GV is that it's very neatly integrated into android. When I miss a call and get a VM, I tap on the notification and the VM plays. Easy peasy. It's also accessible directly from the call log.
Not only that, you can set it to have Google email you a transcription of every VM. It's not always 100% accurate, but if I'm in a meeting or busy, I can get the general idea of what the message is about without even putting the phone to my ear. It's indispensable and FREE. Stop being stubborn... do yourself a favor and get it.

Why would that even be possible? I have a smart phone, I want a program to manage my voice mails, not a phone system that's 100 years old.
Is there a way to get free VVM? do i just call in and enable it?
Also, idk if its just me, but I don't get actual notifications.
Facebook doesnt even tell me" You have a new notification" it just has the badge.
For EVEYR OTHER app I have no matter what it is, it just says that: "You have a new Message, Unread email, Notification" but not the content of the notification.
What am I missing here?
I though Android was better than iOS

Yeah, so now that a service I pay for is now "eliminated from the OS", and there seems to be no .apk that will be available...
what do I do?
All I want is to be able to use my VISUAL VOICEMAIL. I don't need all the other extraneous crap that comes along with Google Voice.
HELP!!!

DID you go to the playstore and search specifically for Verizon's Visual Voicemail...
I think all the carriers have their version at the playstore... I'm just saying!!!
