Which app is it? Do we have to pay for this service?
its supposed to come out today as "visual voicemail" if you have the mytouch and the internet feature there is no additional cost.
It just came onto the market on my MyTouch - but it doesn't work, keeps claiming my account is not created, and tells me to sent my operator to m.web2go.com/dsb/vvmupsell
Once again, getting my phone early means things don't work yet. The manual also points me towards the marketplace for the apppack, which also has not yet been loaded

Good point - probably not, as I came from the G1, so I'm most likely still on the old package.
It's alright. Prefer Youmail for the email aspect.
Just had to have my data changed to get VVM to work.. The app crashed a couple times, but it does what its supposed to.. Also I noticed we seem to be getting both notifications instead of just the VVM one..
Just got Visual Voicemail hooked up too! Nice!!! I've been waiting for this functionality (on T-Mobile) for a long, long time... so it's really nice to finally have it.
All that said, the icon has the (typical) T-Mo "pink", which I could do without. Also, the app itself isn't especially 'flashy', but it appears to do what it's supposed to to.
Does anyone know why after I installed this app, that whenever someone calls me, voicemail never picks up and the caller gets a busy signal?
Sounds to me like you need to check your call forwarding settings. Set your time limit and forward to +1-805-MESSAGE

No, that is the official TMo app, weird and shady that it asks you to go somewhere else, but thats it.
Easy fix, is call TMo and ask them to enable it for you. You might have to upgrade your messaging plan however.

What happens when my free trial runs out? This service is laughably bad to the point of being usable ONLY as a source of comedy. I am not interested in paying for this.
Will it just stop working or is it going to keep working and start charging me money without my permission? Should I just uninstall it now? Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement visual voice-mail app?

Google voice hands down...
I would suggest (personal opinion on style and battery usage) installing the installing the inverted version here just because black looks slicker and causes less work for the screen.

When I signed up it said that when my free trial was up I would be presented with an option to continue the service or to cancel.They specifically stated that there is NO automatic billing once the trial is up.
How do I go about removing the sprint app? I tried dragging it to the trash can and that didn't work.. I have sdx stock app remover, but I don't see anything obviously titled "voicemail" or some such..
also, google voice setup is stuck at "verifying phone number" been that way for at least a minute now.. long enough for the screen to turn off
edit: yea, that google voice isn't installing.. I'm going to try the market version, then come back to the inverted version at a later time.. I really hate non-black themed apps too..

try setting it up on a computer and skipping that step on your phone. I only ever did that set up when I was dealing with a non-smartphone.

The stock app is called cm-android. And you can try this apk. Its the inverted and I edited it to have a transparent widget. I just put it on mine and it installed fine.
disregard this post.. **** was going bad here.. but its better now.
OKAY, installed
Thanks gitusum.
Still not perfect.. I tried a test call and my hilarious outgoing greeting is gone.. replaced by some generic woman and there is no option to even leave a voicemail, she just says something like the call failed, please try again.
well okay the good news is that I'm back where I started with the stock sprint voicemail to text app.. With my hilariously rude outgoing greeting!
I don't know why, but forwarding my voicemail to google simply was not working.
Work is over, so I quit for today. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help everyone!

Did you set it up /w voice.google.com first? Setting up through the app itself doesnt work all that well IMO. Once it is setup you can just skip the voicemail setup step if/when you reinstall. I just pressed activate google voicemail on this phone. It then should make you dial a #. After that it is done.
yea setting it up through the voice app doesn't work but setting it up on a computer did. It's just that dialing the code to forward voicemails to google voice doesn't do anything but break my voicemail.
If I call my number I get some kind of cut-off error.. it sounds like "-all could not be completed, please try again" with no option to leave a voicemail. The code to deactivate the voicemail forwarding works fine at restoring the original sprint voicemail service.
Has anybody else noticed that with each new update, texting works less and has more fing bugs than you can shake a stick at? Some days...it really drives me nuts, and I think its sprint's crappy 3G, but the issues are the same when on wifi or 4g, too.
Which version was the best (I think one before the current version); does anyone have that .apk?
Sent from my Carbon Fibered EVO.
Hmmm, no, haven't had any issues to be honest. Don't know if it's location based or what, but just to offer another data point I'm in downtown Chicago and rarely stray out to the 'burbs. Could possibly be different somewhere else.
No issues with Google Voice here whatsoever, except for the occasional (<1%) time when a call doesn't get routed to me, or the (<5%) chance that the person listens to about four extra rings before my cellphone starts ringing.
I have even fewer troubles than drmacinyasha and I'm in a small town in Iowa.
You are so lucky.
My texts get hung up, wont send, freeze the whole app, then the other person gets it 5 times, ect. Doesn't matter 3g, 4g, or wifi. Its all I use for texting because I'd rather type on my computer, but when I actually have to text from my phone...its a different story.
what rom are you using? how do you know there isn't another app causing the problem?

Myn's RLS 5. I've uninstalled the app and other apps several times - happened on other roms too, like Fresh's.
mine lag as well. Same ROM. maybe its time for a switch
Are you using the anonymous voice feedback? (whichever thing it asked about opting in to when you search for the very first time) I noticed when I said "no" on stock Sense it worked poorly, then better on Warm 2.2 RLS5 and CyanogenMod7 when I said "yes."
What you are describing used to happen to me but it doesn't anymore. The latest version actually fixed multiple and send failures. Other than I've seen once or twice of deleting something then it comes back later, is the only thing I've seen that isn't working right. What's funny is that occasionally, like right now, I use the evo and not the evo shift. I notice lag in the old evo that isn't as bad or isn't there at all in the shift. On both phones I'm running stock rooted.
The only thing I've noticed is that one time I didn't get a text from my girlfriend. Phone calls work great. Texting works great. Maybe I'm the lucky one.
I had the same texting problems with the any rom with the stock messaging.

They need to update a lot of their apps. Google Voice needs multiple recipient texting. Google Reader needs a "mark as read" feature implemented. Google Reader needs bookmarks. And the list goes on. Instead... they put out Androidify. Don't get me wrong, I made one. But still, there are more important things they could be doing.
As we all know Gingerbread has been in the oven... And I was one of those people who could not wait for it to cool off. As soon as I saw the leak early saturday morning, I was already downloading. what could go wrong, right? I odin'd the ef02.tar, started her up and wow, she's beautiful, save the extra ugly 4g symbol in the window sill (notification bar) that looks even worse now than previous desserts.
Keep in mind this is a stock .tar. No root. No cwm. No nothing. Except bloat. Low and behold my beautiful lil girl had a very serious functionality flaw. After my first reboot, no more incoming phone calls :^(...
So I've tried everything, I gained root, installed cwm 3.1.0.1 wiped data, cache, dalvik multiple times. Re odin'd the .tar. Flashed Decad3nce's odexed and deodexed roms. Updated modems. Tried frozen on ec05, took a shot at simply AOSP, odin'd a stock ec05, even went all the way back to eb13, with cwm 2.5 (changing file systems when needed) now I'm back to a bone stock ec05 from the stickies in development... Still no incoming phone calls. I called sprint technical and they were unable to resolve the issue.
Funny thing is I can make calls, I have data (3&4g), I can text, just won't receive.
Has anybody else seen anything remotely close to this. If so please comment, if not, comment anyways. I wanna get some opinions on my situation.
P.S. feel free to laugh at my short comings, lord knows just thinking about it brings chuckles to my mind...

Something kinda similar is happening to me. It was after flashing marcusaunts i1 rom, i lost the ability to receive texts, i can send them though. Im not sure if i can make calls, but i can receive them. i have to press one to accept every call though. Im calling sprint soon, its been like this for 3 days.

You know, i did install google voice. But ive installed it multiple times until now, so i figured it was unrelated. But this past time it did take my texts through there, which had never happened before. thats why i uninstalled it. Im gonna check that out and see if it fixes it. Good luck with your issues.
Sounds like you clicked yes to Sprint integration (ports your number temporarily to google). So they go to your google voice account, however you can check an option to have them sent also to your phone as well (although if you do this with google voice installed you will probably get 2 notifications per 1 sms). Also call screening is an option that is enabled by default, option in google voice (desktop web interface). I had to turn that off too (the press 1 thing). Hope this helps, its just options. Also you could go online and disable the integration and go back to normal.
EDIT: Also make sure your phone is listed to receive calls in the web interface (via a desktop). I know it should do this by default but maybe it didn't for god knows what reason?

I had disabled it, it just took a bit. but its all working again Thanks so much man.
I remember when I did that... Sat there for an hour pulling out my hair before I realized I needed to click the number on the right side of the GoogleVoice Page to change the settings. Not my proudest moment.
Yea, I think if multiple people on smart enough to flash a rom get confused I think google needs to make thinks a bit easier to understand. Glad I could help.
The GV set up options really suck. i already have a gv number and always have to go into the desktop voice application and disable the integration.

Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!
Marc
I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.

If you haven't done so yet i suggest noting the issue in the hyper thread ... either the Verizon or att one depending on your phone. Seems to be a bunch of us... more folks report it the common thread will emerge.

Same issue here i can not dial voicemail and can not call a number back without typing the number in manually. Deal breaker for me hope it gets fixed soon so i can go back to Hyperdrive. Or somebody comes up with some sort of fix.
