Happily running CM7 with one issue:
If I dial my own number (or longpress "1" in the dialer) to access my real voicemail box, I have many "new" messages.
But I have been receiving, listening to, and deleting these same messages using the Sprint Visual Voicemail program installed as per the usual method (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12219741&postcount=2 under "visual voicemail" for the one-sentence version).
Why are the two voicemail "boxes" not in sync?
I'm pretty convinced this is a bug-not-a-feature because it gives two different versions of the "truth" to anyone who uses both methods to check VM (because, say, your bluetooth headset doesn't allow you to hear locally-stored VVM audio files.. but that's another topic..). I'm not even sure what happens when this goes on for a month or two- do callers hear some kind of "mailbox full" announcement? Do the oldest messages just go away once they reach a certain age?
I have returned to a sense-based ROM and tried to "update my profile" and PRL, I have sent a VVM to [email protected], and I have gotten the little "toast" that says I have been provisioned successfully. But no sync. I have rebooted. I have waited overnight. I have turned off wi-fi to force 3G communication with Sprint. I have scoured the internet for these and other recommendations. Still no sync. The only thing I haven't done is called Sprint and asked them to get involved (which of course is a bit of a last resort considering we are talking about a rooted phone here).
So I'm asking for help from a) anyone who has experienced this and solved it and/or b) anyone who can shed some light on how Sprint VVM synchronization works.
Thanks in advance...
PS- I already know I can always "solve" my Sprint VVM issues by switching to Google Voice: I'm sure GV is great, but my question is not about GV. I'm just looking for basic information on the signalling method Sprint uses to synchronize your VVM with the cloud. Thanks!
I've been wondering and experiencing the same exact stuff that you mentioned, any input is appreciated here too!

After reading your post I pressed 1 to go into my voicemail and it said I had 12 messages. Never noticed this issue before (I never actually call for my messages, I just use the app), very strange. Unfortunately I don't know the answer.
Thanks ausch- I should have cited your FAQ as another excellent one-sentence summary of the basic method for getting Sprint VVM to run on CM7. And then of course there's this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966 which spells it out a little more explicitly and, after getting a bunch of blog mentions at some point, had quite a bit of traffic for awhile. I originally reported this issue there but got no response after a few days so I just started up a new thread to get some more visibility.
I think you need another apk installed for that part to work.
This one. I think it is what updates your visual voicemail and deletes messages, not positive though.

Lol, yeah when I was typing all that **** up I got lazy and just wrote it up real quick. Probably should have gone a little more in depth.
I installed it too (thank you for the suggestion aimbdd) but it force closes a lot and generally does not seem to fix my issue.
I'm getting plenty of notifications (my VVM "widget" shows the right number of unheard messages and the stock android VM notification up in the status bar shows the right number as well), the version is 5.1.0.34, and everything seems to function pretty well with this one exception.
I see references to Sprint_App_Updater.apk in lots of places (here's an example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7246771&postcount=35 ) but it's not clear to me if the app is actually essential to the VM sync issue I'm talking about.
And one last thing, just a random quote (from http://www.evo4gforum.net/htc-evo-4g-how-to/visual-voicemail-9708/ ) from a person who had the exact *opposite* issue: he prefers using phone-call-based voicemail and wanted his visual voicemails to go away: "I did talk with Sprint and ... I asked them why are the messages that I delete on Sprint VM (#1) still going to VVM and not being deleted. No real answer except for that's the way the VVM app works. He assured me that if I delete a VVM that it will also delete it on Sprint's (#1), but for whatever reason it doesn't work the opposite way. "
This last sentence tells me there is supposed to be at least one-way sync.
I accept that the VVM app holds previously-downloaded audio files and it may not be desired (or even feasible) for Sprint to reach into your phone and delete a static audio file just just because you called into your voicemail and manually erased the original voicemail that spawned it. So maybe we will never have two-way sync.
But that quote above clearly promises that when things are functioning normally the mailboxes *do* sync in the direction I care about: if you delete a message from your phone, a signal goes back to the cloud so that the original is deleted there also.

I just got a voicemail and it was still in Sprint's system after deleting it from the app so I don't think this fixes the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Today's PRL update did not change the behavior.
I might start casting about for answers outside the EVO 4G forum. Seems like it would be a generic Sprint issue that would apply to more than just EVO users..
Well just to close this out, I did find a solution after posting in various other threads until someone came up with the simple suggestion of uninstalling and reinstalling.
So the issue that prompted my question is resolved and my voicemail boxes *do* sync.
But I still never did find out *how* they sync.
Seems strange the underlying sync mechanism isn't more widely understood. Guess I'll let it drop for now. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

question, how did you uninstall and reinstall this...was it from titanium backup or something similar?
Nevermind, I found the fix/culprit (go sms) and now I'm all good.
When you download the Facebook for Android app, it asks you to sync contacts. DON'T DO IT. Whenever someone has a phone number in their Facebook profile, regardless of if there is an existing contact that it will link to or not, the number will have a +1 in front of it. For instance, a number that should read 123-456-7890 would read +1123-456-7890. Facebook adds this for unknown reasons. When you send a text to the borked number, the text goes through, even on verizon.com, it says that the text was sent by you and that the other person received it on their profile. However, the person does not receive it on their phone. Also, if you call someone with a borked number, the phone will not ring.
In conclusion: Don't sync Facebook contacts, and your SMS should send fine and calling should work fine. Alternatively, you can use any messaging app but stock, such as Go SMS Pro and the message will go through fine, even with the +1 format.
Hope this helped someone.

Nice Find man i havent noticed this but ill be weary of this from now on
How does this explain people receiving some messages and not others? If it was the number they wouldn't receive any texts at all, not just 30% of them. I noticed this a while ago and I couldn't call people with the +1, but they received texts just fine.

Only people who have their numbers listed in their Facebook profile are affected.
This is what worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sorry.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying maybe there's two seperate issues. Without my Facebook contacts synced some messages are going through and some aren't. Maybe its just me, but I've seen posts with people saying the same. Thank you for your solution nonetheless.
Sent from my Optimized Shift using XDA App
You're welcome. I'm not saying by any means that this will solve everyone's issues. Just my experienced and it worked for me. Best of luck to you on sorting whatever is up with your SMS out. What ROM are you using?
+1 is the country code for the USA, no idea why it's adding it though. I know that wavesecure requires you add +1 to the contacts on your contact list since the texts come from somewhere in asia IIRC (may not be true now since McAfee owns them).
I know it is, but since it's a cell phone, you don't use the 1 or +1, which messes it up.
Thank you for putting this up. I was confused and frustrated as to why lots of my contacts didn't receive or was able to send any texts or calls to me. But now its all good
I'm going to test this theory. Hope this works. Thanks

Try using Contacts Clean-up from Android Market. It works great and resolved my issue on the fly. Dev just made it CDMA compatible
I think this only matters on sense roms. I know I need to be on aosp for dialing businesses through voice search to work because it also adds a +1 (at least it used to).
Thanks for the post. It was driving me crazy.

Okay, i'm rooted and have been Running MIUI for a few months without issue.. Last Friday i did a FULL WIPE (factory reset, cache and delvik) and upgraded to the newest 1.7.15 MIUI ROM -- everything worked fine.. except for my text messages.. I wasn't receiving any.. I could send them out fine.. i just dont get any.. so after i tried to do EVERYTHING to fix it.. nothing worked, and i decided, oh well I'll flash back to Sense until next release.. Well i flashed back to sense (Did a full wipe, then a nandroid restore) and my Text messages STILL do not work.. I have never used Google Voice, but i was told that could be the cause, so i opened it and turned it on.. and i was able to get text messages to my google voice box) I do not like google voice, nor do i want to use google voice.. So i then went from my PC and disabled google voice from within my PC's browser, and i then uninstalled it. Now i'm back to not being able to receive text messages...
Does anyone have ANY idea what so ever could be the cause of this? I am completely stumped. I thought 100% it was an issue with MIUI, but i cant even get them on my Sense ROM.. All of my calls and sent text messages work fine, but i receive no incoming text, nor notifications or anything that i'm getting any texts... Yet if i use google voice, i can get my text messages..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have also Updated my Profile and PRL
if i go into HTC Software Updates it says there is a 2.3 Gingerbread update 4.24.651.1 (6.07MB)
but i am on the rooted stock gingerbread version of that i believe, unless another update came out after the original June 4th gingerbread release, because ever since then i've been on MIUI anyway
EDIT:
I just attempted a Full factory reset, and i still cannot get any text messages
I am chatting with sprint and he told me to try these codes in the phone dialer
##DATA#
##72786#
and they used to work, but now it just freezes my phone dialer and nothing happens...
What the hell is going on? EVERYTHING ELSE works just fine except for receiving text messages
google voice
if you have sprint with Google Voice Enabled on every time you install Google voice it disables incoming text to your number, click on the gear on the right top corner on your Google voice account page - Click Voice Settings - Click Edit on your phone number - make sure this is checked.
Text Settings:
X - Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)
Question #2 --
The sprint guy i'm talking to said he will waive the $100 insurance fee and ship me a new phone if i want.. If i agree to this, will the new phone ship with a 2.3 gingerbread version that is unable to be rooted?
Or have they finally rooted that also? Last i checked i heard people who accepted the OTA update lost their root and there was no way to get it back
I actually just got a refurb a couple of days ago, they seem to all be coming with new hboot. So no root yet.
Well i did re-download google voice, but i never enabled it or even ran it for that matter, and i have sense enabled it and used it.. then disabled it and i still do not get any texts

Not rooted yet but there are a few people working on it. A few days ago a leaked video from AlpharevX showed they unlocked the 3d and sensation, and according to them this method works for all current HTC bootloaders. So if you don't mind not having root for a while get one, if not then don't switch. Who knows how long before a root method actually gets out for the Evo with 2.3.3. Could be today or next month.
did you try what i mentioned above go to google.com/voice (on your computer) and make sure that option is on. This only happens when you Enable your sprint number with Google voice.
Yes i have been on google voice all morning, but when i click on the gear in the top corner now nothing happens, i cant get into settings ever since i disabled google voice, all that happens is a little blue bar appears on the same page.. are you suggesting that i re-download google voice, set it up again and then i'll be able to go back into the account settings? because so long as it's disabled i am unable to view any google voice setting page

I found this thread in the google voice and my issue has apparently happened to this person also and he was not able to resolve it, and actually had to get a new phone.. Which is what i think I'M going to have to do, but i DONT want to do that because i hate SENSE, and i want to run MIUI... but there is no root for the new OTA 2.3 gingerbread, does anyone have ANY IDEAS? how can i completely disconnect google voice?
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=7a4e7d5494abe0d9&hl=en
Panic Eye.. I have re-downloaded google voice, and i am using it now.. as it's the only way i can get text messages, after searching and searching i have found a plethora of people who are having my exact same issue.. and i have yet to find a single one who has found a fix for the problem.. all of them say that sprint just suggests new phones to them.. this is nuts.. it's obviously a google voice issue, but no matter how many times i disable google voice from my pc, or from my phone, it doens't fix it.. I've even done a full factory reset and didn't log into my gmail account.. which should definitely get rid of any google voice crap, but it doesn't .. so maybe it's a phone problem? i have no idea.. i'm completely stumped

Honestly I doubt it's your phone, it has something to do with sprint/google integration. I would try to convince a Sprint rep to deactivate and reactivate your phone, can't really think of anything else you could do besides attempting to re-enable Google Voice with the Google Voice app and try to access the settings on the browser again.
Bump -- Any help at all? Has no one else ever experienced this
not receiving sms
I believe I have the same problem. It's pretty frustrating.
I decided to start this thread to try and help people like me who want sprint's visual voice mail working with Cyanogen 9 on their Epic 4G. Seeing how this is an issue ignored by developers, and shunned upon google voice fans.
Please do not say use google voice as this is no the discussion for this thread.
Here's what I have gotten with my attempts, anyone else feel free to contribute and maybe we can come up with a solution.
I tried using a backup restored from EL30 into CM9 through Titanium Backup, no message updates, and crashing every time I try to send a message to [email protected].
I grabbed the Sprint VVM apk from the latest Epic 4G Touch leak that is ICS in hopes of having more luck, but here were the results:
Loads up OK,
Goes through account verification on every app startup
No new Voice Mails showing (tested by me calling my phone from land line)
Still getting 9016 text message.
I can record and compile the activation message OK, but as of 30 minutes, it's still sitting in outbox after multiple attempts to resend. No luck.
Does anyone know if there's dependencies the VVM apk relies on for sprint to phone communications?
What luck has others taken and what are your results?
If I can get this issue, and possibly find a way to get the PRL updates back, then ICS will be golden and good for everyday use for me (Main thing is the VVM)

I installed the same vvm. Worked with no problems on the first try and haven't had a problem yet. Only been a short time, but had the GF call a few times and it works every time.
Worked for me too. Still get the 9016 text but got my voicemail in 5 seconds.

Successes
So when you two installed it, it worked flawlessly (minus the text issue) out of the gate?
As I sit now, I still have not received my voice mail and I'm now wondering what is different between my install and yours.
I currently get an account verification error with Visual Voice Mail version T5.2.1.0 taken from a copy of epic 4G Touch FC07.
I installed this copy by transferring the APK to my SDCard, then using ES File Explorer to install.
I just tried resetting the data through the applications management through settings, it loaded up the default two messages (about and welcome). Then gives me the account verification error prompt, then the customize mailbox prompt, but no message downloading. What ideas do you two have that could help.
did you try uninstalling and reinstalling?
Uhhh, I might be missing something but to quote the CM9 team from their Facebook page. "Sprint Visual Voicemail now works on CM9, meaning we now have three options for visual voicemail on Epic! Read the Customization Guide for CWM5 flashable .zip and setup instructions if you want to use it. Be aware that there are currently glitches.
Cyanogenmod Epic 4G: Customization Guide"

Apology maybe? I dunno Google Voice is amazing!
BlogSpot link:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/03/customization-guide.html
Based on your suggestion, I just did, still no effect though.
When you go to Personalize voicemail in voicemail settings, does it do anything for you? For me it doesn't do anything.
As much as I like VVM it gives me trouble on CM7 and 9. An outgoing VM gets stuck and its the activation VM to get the services started. As a solution I just downloaded youmail from the market and it does the job. Its got a few advertisements but at least I dont miss important messages. Hope this helps!
Solved
OK, after seeing the posting about the facebook link, I did check it out and tried it. That did seem to solved the solution at least temporarily. There is some rendering issues, really minor, but after sending me a voice message, I did receive the rest of my voice mails (and the texts with them).
To answer one of my original questions, there does appear to be a dependency somewhere that's been missing. I opened the zip file to find a second file in it called 80-sprint-vvm.sh which I assume is a form of work around script.
Me not having any programming language knowledge couldn't say the details of the sh file, but I'm sure more knowledgeable people can decipher it.
I will see if I can come up with a full solution that can be more permanent, but for now this upgrades Cyanogen 9 to daily driver status. Another note, I noticed my topic quickly jumped to the top of google's search results for Cyanogen 9 Visual Voice Mail, so maybe there was some good out of this.

If you haven't tried the CWM zip file mentioned at the facebook link, give it a shot. It worked for me at least. Install it, then compose a voice mail to yourself, and the rest followed along.
Gah.
I flashed, and when I rebooted phone, it automatically provisioned the app before i even opened it.
I cant' get the VMs to appear there, only can get to them through dialer.
What is this moron (me) doing wrong? I'm missing a step somewhere...

You are not the only one. Edfunkycold is having the same problem as well as a few others. I already had the voicemail semi-working and provisioned on my phone before installing the E4GT version. And that worked immediately after installing.

I posted on several threads to see if anyone has any ideas how to get this working. Mine provisioned, set all up I get the text message but the app doesn't download voicemails and I don't even get the voicemail notification icon. I know the VM is there because of the 9016 text but I still have to dial 1 on the dialer to manually get to my voicemails. Anyone out there throw some ideas out, I just can't stand when something is supposed to work and doesn't.

it may developing an issue but its not an actual development project if you can understand what he & I are meaning by it. this is more of a general topic.
I was wondering if there was a way to get SMS and MMS to work over wifi with any app other than verizon messages. I've been a big user of that since they incorporated individual sounds for contacts. However, their most recent update has made MMS stop working entirely so I've gone back to Messenger for now. But last night I was at a bar with a friend and for whatever reason, inside the building a VZW signal was impossible. Outside the building it was fine....but inside it just dropped out. Wifi worked fine, but I was unable to send or receive any messages. Hangouts I cant remember if it could handle wifi for sms or not...and hangouts is not playing the correct sounds I select for contacts on my 6p.
i'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who used verizon messages that had mms stop working since that latest update. Of course they won't support the Nexus 6p, so I think we're stuck in a waiting game for now.
If you use Google Voice, you can use Hangouts for calls/sms/mms over WiFi or mobile data.
No.. I don't use Google voice. I've had my number far too long to switch to a Google voice number. I like the stock app.... But having the ability to text over wifi was nice with Verizon messages. I had a nasty exchange with their tech support. They kept telling me the same crap. I had to tell them as a nexus owner I'm not a tech idiot. It's on their end and started with their update. Fix it. Of course they continue to tell me it's my fault some setting isn't enabled when it is.

Just to respond to your google voice question. I had a number for almost 14 years. I ported that number over to Google Voice for 20$ one time fee and forwarded my google voice to my cell phone number.
I've been scouring the web for an old version of Verizon Messages and am coming up short. I'm hoping that by installing an old version, it will fix our issues. I'm going to try contacting the developer.

right, but that is a really old version. I want the one right before this most recent update that broke it. Thank you though.

it is available on apkpure site. You can find many old versions. Just do a quick google search and you should find it.
Search Term: Verizon Messages APK
If I can find my S4 and charge it... I can use apk extractor to grab the old version of my S4 from before my nexus arrived. Also might be on my N7 if that hasn't automatically updated.
Big thanks to chichu_9! Inwas able to get last month's version on apkpure and now mms is working again, over wifi and vzw network. I just can't update the app anymore
Thanks @chichu_9 I got the apk from apk pure and all is working well again. Thanks.
So the Verizon Messages 6.0.2 works over wifi... correct?

yes, that is the version that I rolled back to on my phone and it has been working over wifi. MMS group messages have also been working.
I have 6.02 as well and everything is fine. I received an email from the VZW messages app team and they are aware and "working" on the problem
Adblock plus is blocking mms as of now. Remove it and mms will be back.
I don't have ad block and MMS is still not working on VZW messages. I'm completely stock. It's a problem with the latest update. According to Verizons email they sent me.. "we are aware of the problem and working to correct it"
