[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.
Sent from my Epic 4g running Nebula Rom

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.

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!

Wifi on American Airlines flights

Thought this might be of interest to some people.
Yesterday I was flying American Airlines and the plane that I was on had Wifi. When I opened up my web browser on my Xoom, I saw that it was about $10 for the flight. I didn't want to pay that, so I closed my browser, but left my Xoom connect to Wifi. About 2 minutes later, Google Voice goes off saying I had a text message. I opened it up and replied. Come to find out, Google Voice worked fine without paying for the service. I was able to send and receive texts and listen to voicemails. I then wanted to find out what other apps worked. Gmail was the only other app that worked fine. The Google Market would let you search for apps and read descriptions and such, but would not let me install apps.
So the next time you are on American Airlines, you can get text messaging and gmail for free.

I have 5 AA flights next month. Interesting.

It's become my preferred texting device, especially since eliminating my phone data plan and switching to a "standard" phone. I use Google Voice and the speech to text translation all the time and hardly ever send a text from my cell phone.

How do you enable voice for text support. Right now all I see is voicemail forwarding. Thanks

Have you read anything about Google Voice? Using GV and a phone app such as Talkatone , you would see that you have the option of picking a new number or using your cell number....meaning that when your cell rings, you can answer from your tablet.

@nolook, yes i know, but the goal was to answer from the tablet itself..not from Bluetooth headset...the thing is that I drop my phone anywhere in the house and I only use my N7 so this is why I want to do this

Tablet talk works.. I have that..
Also have google voice using grove ip.. Both are a solution.
Tablet talk sounds like more of what your looking for ...

Does Tablet Talk let you answer on the tablet ? so i could talk in the mic of the tablet not into anything else...
Grove IP looks good, but how will I forward incoming call from my phone number to my tablet? In order to call with Grove Ip do u need to pay something in Google Voice or anywhere else ?

Yes, you can answer from your tablet.....no B/T required. Only calls you have to pay for are international calls.
I suggest you visit the Play Store, search for phone apps and read what they do and don't do.

Is is possible that Google Voice is not available in Canada....

tablet talk is like a remote control for your phones dial er. It uses the radios in the phone itself. It does not connect to a web site or server to make send or receive anything. uses your carriers services you pay the same as you normally would to use your phone
Google voice is a extention of the google mail/ messenger. Its the same as using google messenger for a video call. It can be connected using any sips software . Such as grove ip as well as other apps.. This uses a web bases server and requires data or wifi to work. very slow over data service.
Each of them work totally different from one another ..
so the answer is YES with tablet talk you can answer the calls coming into your phone. as well as see caller id information on the tablet. I really enjoy having the app. There is from time to time disconnect issues. But i think thats me messing with my tablet so much ..

[Q] Hacked Phone

I have a buddy who has a phone that was hacked. His GF has access to his Texts and Call logs. She even knows when he is resetting his phone as she sends him text messages telling him to make sure he does a good job wiping it... CRAZY
What is the root cause for this, how can it be prevented... and what exactly is she doing>?

I doubt any mod or program with or without root access can notify someone when they enter recovery to wipe their phone. Beside how would a phone be able send a sms while in recovery?

This should not be impossible to do with an app. Even with tasker, it is possible to create an app (app factory) that will have a trigger (sms sent or sms received or phone call received or phone call placed), and send a text to a predetermined number with details of the sent/received text or the tel# called. And these text messages can be set to not be stored on the phone.
Yes, I think this will work, because I have set my phone up with such a tasker profile (created an app from that profile, and hid it from the app drawer) - so that if my phone is lost, I can send it a specific text message, and it will respond back to me (at a predetermined phone# with GPS coordinates of the phone), without leaving a trace of the message with GPS coordinates on my phone.
It should be possible to change this to intercept any sms message (incoming or outgoing), and send that message to another phone#
Or, she may just have access to your buddy's service provider's account details (log in to the website, see incoming/outgoing call details easily)

Have him use titanium backup from the play store to back up his apps then have him factory reset his phone root stays then have him get his apps back through titanium backup.

Sounds kinda like cerberus. If your friend flashed the stock rom like mdc or mdl he should be able to remove the app. I know there is a setting to hide the app. And if he had root you can make the app non-removable. The only way to remove it is to flash the complete stock rom.

Most certainly not joking. I looked into his app drawer/app folder, and could not find any apps out of the ordinary. At first, I though maybe she was logged into his Facebook messenger account, so I uninstalled it... it made no difference.
