[Q] Sprint VM and Phantom Text - EVO 4G General

My EVO 4g is rooted, with 7.1. I also have the Sprint VMS copied over from the Sense rom so I get the visual voice mail notifier.
I searched the forum and couldn't find a way to get rid of the SMS that comes with the voicemail everytime a voicemail is left.
Is there an easy fix? I tried searching for text 9016 but didn't yield a good answer.

You can't get rid of it but, you can intercept and can it before it gets to your inbox. Super private conversation in the market.

TMO US: Haunting empty SMS message from number 129

Hi!
I noticed a weird thing on my HD2.
There is an empty SMS message from 129 number that shows up in the inbox. After deleting it, it keeps coming back after a relatively short period of time. I DO NOT get any notifications about new SMS messages, so it's likely that this is some sort of phantom message.
I have disabled HTC messaging app and disabled the HTC messaging service (so that new SMS notifications contain "Save as read" and "Dismiss" options) and installed "SMS patch" application (from one of the other threads here) so fix the SMS counter.
Anyone has same issue?
The mothership is coming for you....
Honestly though dont have a clue
Yeah, I get that too. I even replied to the text but, never got a response.
yup, ,mine to... can't delete it without it coming right back. Really strange
lol i thought it was only me
It has to do with visual voicemail.
I enabled it and began getting these. I then disabled them and I don't get them anymore
I noticed it a couple of times, but I've deleted it and it hasn't come back.
My visual voicemail is enabled and is working.
Looks like the mystery is solved. Thanks skylinepigeon.
I removed Visual Voicemail service from my T-Mobile account (as I don't really use it anyways), and this phantom message is not coming back anymore.
I got these everyday, when turn on the phone after it's fully charged. I been getting these before I got have Visual Voicemail service on my account.
Sorry to say it's not Visual Voicemail, i just switched over to the HD2 from a Mytouch didnt have VV on mytouch but I did get a 129 message also. I delated the google sync calander on my laptop thinking that was it and I have not gotten a 129 message yet

Have you tried calling TMobile and asking thm to remove VVM from your account? Just because your previous phone didn't have VVM doesn't mean a SMS wasn't being sent out.
Also check http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/message-from-129/td-p/171226 for some possible solutions.
I get this even after ditching VVM. It has to do with voicemail though. It only shows up for me if someone leaves me a voicemail or if I have any saved. What I do to get rid of it is open it up, transfer it from the sim to the phone, then delete it. And delete the voicemail(s), of course. I've called T-Mo numerous times about this too, they're aware of it & they claim they're working on it. Which I believe, because I used to not be able to delete it at all & now I can.
Me too!

I signed up for Micorsoft MyPhone syncronization, I wonder if it has something to do with syncing up the phone?
I'm getting these empty SMS from 129 every time my phone (Verizon LG G2 VS980) boots up. Does anyone know how to make it stop? I noticed that when I delete voice mails, I get these empty SMS from 129 as well. So I am convinced that they have something to do with voicemail. It seems that T-Mobile think that my phone needs these SMS but my phone does not and ended up showing these SMS to me. This only happens when I am running a custom ROM.

Text message after getting voicemail

Ok so I'm on bonsai 1.1.3 with the new cwm and emotionless beast theme. This just started a couple days ago. When I get a new voicemail I then all of a sudden get a new text message. The text message is from 9016 and it says android ###-###-#### (the phone number that sent me the voicemail) has sent you a sprint voice message. Call 408-970-0000. Mmsn,106bee099,9fc6,v69bdosvezi//cm. This is just one example of one I got. Like I said it just started a couple days ago. Anyone ever had this and know what it is? It's really annoying when this happens. Thanks for your help!
Do you have the no bubble messaging app? Or the stock messaging app?

I have this too after I replaced the bubble MMS app with the white one with square pictures on the left (similar to a facebook chat looking thing). Looks like the evo sms app from what i've seen.
Is that whats causing it? All I did was push the Mms.apk from viperrom to bonsai 1.13
all you have to do is blacklist the number the text message comes from. Not sure if the stock app will do it, but handcent will.
I never changed my SMS or anything. I just updated the bonsai rom. As soon as I get my voicemail notification I get those new text messages.
This is happening to me as well.
this is going to be funny...
but can someone attach the MMS.apk that is causing..i kinda actually want this to happen after i get a voicemail..
thanks
No 9016 txt with qr 2.7 b ut when I added on the 1.7.3 theme I get the txt

I just have my VM setup to forward to my Google Voice number. That way I never get VM in my Sprint inbox - no fuss with visual VM either. You can use either the Google Voice app or have Google Voice send you a text.
Anybody know why its happening. Is it something in the bonsai rom cause.i havent messed with my sms and voicemail?
Sent from my Evo killer!
that is the visual voicemail to text thing it happens on all phones with vvm to text, call tech support tell them to block the number from texting and problem solved, i have to do this a few times a day d]since i do their tech support lol
Its from the messaging app with the rom. Its using the no bubble mod with the 5mb mod. I figured out that was causing it and just found a stock messaging.apk in the theme forums. Once you switch it out, call your self a couple times and you will notice the text after voicemail goes away.

Check in the theme section for the no bubble mod mms.apk. I would post it but I'm at work and don't have a computer near by.

I'm not positive, but I think if you are getting VM notification texts saying "call 408-970-0000(or any number)to listen to your VM messages, its because your voice mail isn't provisioned properly. The network doesn't realize your phone has visual voice mail, so its sending you a text to let you know to call to hear them. This happened to me a few times on my HTC hero when flashing cyanogen mod, and also a few times on my epic when i had a bad flash, or i had a poor signal on my first boot.
You should be receiving a message with a sort of code in it, something like {android}/noreply/notificationon(i don't remember the exact syntacs or message, but it will look something like that) it was caused by your MMS.apk.
When i had the provisioning issue, this is what i did to resolve it:
1. Dialed *38(resets VM to carrier in case it as setup to go to google voice, or other third party VM).
2. Open the VVM app
3. Hit menu
4. press Compose
5. in the "to" field put "[email protected]"
6. press record
7. as soon as the "send" button ungrays and ill allow you to, press it.
If this doesn't work you can try making a nandroid backup and odining to a stock rom, then re-rooting and restoring your nandroid.
Best of luck

I have this same issue, but when I blacklist it with Handcent, it still gives me a notification that I have an unread text message even though it doesn't show up on my conversation list...Looks like I might just have to go back to stock and re-root unfortunately...
PS - Also tried the above and haven't seen any changes, still get the stupid 9016 text that I have an unread voicemail...
Well I did the email to activate and got a txt back. Still get the 9016...odd didn't happed on qr 2.67 but mold mms is 1.73 theme did....

I'm pretty sure this is google voicemail interfering with your regular voice mail. You need to go into gvoice and deactivate the number from going to google, and it will stop.
I'm using viper rom and get the same text message so it is not rom specific. I have tried the messaging.apk change and still get the messages. Does not appear anything is working so far to stop the texts

Hey mikel719 or anyone who has the stock Froyo Messaging app, can you please post it here so we can fix the issue if we dont want to download handcent to blacklist or download redlist to hide the message?

Deleted Visual Voicemail, Now No Voicemail Alert

A while back I deleted VVM using root explorer. Recently I just noticed that I dont get voicemail notifications anymore on the phone and I had like 10 unheard messages. Do I have to have VVM on my phone to get alerted to voicemails or did I do something wrong. I dont have visual voicemail on my account.
Use Google voice

yes. that is how the VM notifications are handled in Sprint's EVO roms. I think you can just install an app called "voicemail notifier" to resolve the issue though.
I installed Visual Voicemail back on my phone and it didnt help. I still dont get voicemail notifications. What else can I try? Could it be on Sprint's end? I highly doubt it though

Possible Phantom Voicemail Fix CM7.2

Here is a possible fix for the Phantom Voicemail received while using CM7. One of these two things fixed the problem....not sure which one though.
1. Called myself from a landline to check my voicemails. (Probably not the fix though)
2. Installed this modified phone.apk to CM7. It takes away the phantom voicemail. I restored the most recent copy of Sprint's Voicemail app to receive voicemails and it has been working like it did in Sense. Thanks to JusticeAA and SavoctaFTW for this fix.
Anyway, I haven't had any phantom voicemails for 3 days after extensive testing. You will need to use Handcent or a similar program to blacklist the 9016 text though. Let me know if this works.
Very nice. I just ended up turning off voicemail notifications when I was using CM7. It was quite annoying.

No voicemail notifications

I've been getting voicemails recently and am not receiving any notifications stating to call into my voicemail to verify them. I do not have enhanced voicemail (or voicemail to txt) but my plan still has voicemail. I've looked everywhere and cannot find any notifications or voicemail app on how to enable these notifications? Can anyone please guide me in the right direction, I don't feel like calling my voicemail everyday to verify if someone has left me a message.
I had this problem on an older phone (lollipop) on Sprint. Doing some Google searches brought me to a really odd solution. I was using Google's messaging app instead of the stock one. Reverting to the stock app and rebooting solved the issue. If you've switched SMS apps, it's worth a try.
ya im using yaata messaging i believe this might be the issue.. ill try reverting and see what happens
thanks!
