voicemail doesnt give.me nofification - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Tried a few roms.and time and time again I cant get a new notification when I get a voicemail. This means I never know if I have a new voicmail unless I check it manually. Im ported to straight talk, maybe that has something to do with it. But my girlfriends s3 is ported to straight talk too... and she gets voicmail.
Im on sprint phone on straight talk on verizon towers.

does the vvm only work if you have it added to your bill? everytime ive tried to use it it says i cannot use it on my phone and to have it added to the plan, yet i have the unlimited family plan with everything included. t-mobile said it should work, but it never has. so i usually just uninstall it and use google voice...not to mention i love having emails of every voicemail i get. i have always wanted to try visual voicemail, but just cant get it working for me...any clue?

I posted on the wrong thread

I may retire the Supersonic today...

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

This is helpful, when I try it I'll get back to you. I'm at the library now to use internet but can't install such programs here due to policies, ect. I'll try again either tomorrow over the weekend.

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.
If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

No 3G data service during voice call????

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258959&referrerid=5287531
So i found this thread that says S3 and Evo LTE only works data and voice.
is there way to work data and voice same time?
i do a lot calls and i need to check mails and etc.
Not on 3G with the S4, however, voice and LTE work if you have LTE service in your area.

What the heck are you talking about. You're on an international phone. So it shouldn't matter if sprint can't do voice and 3g at the same time.

I drive semi it is more productive when you can look up street view roads that may have weight limits height restrictions as you are calling the company letting then know about when you will arrive.we as drivers only have a certain amount of time to drive a day.thus makes my day that much more productive. Ten extra mins could be whether I make it to the next town or not.

That's not what I am talking about. I don't see why its a concern to you if by the look of it, you don't have a sprint gs4. If you want to be on the internet and phone at the same time. Stay with a gs3.

Called ATT for the update

Tried the update using the phone, no go. Called ATT and the ATT woman ended up pushing the update via wifi to my wifes phone. Took about and hour from start of download to the reboot.

Then that person lied to you. My wife's phone showed 4.3 after the reboot.

What did you have to say? I swear I talked to two of the "support" people and they were as dumb as a box of rocks... they think that 4.2.2 is the new update...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
I told them that an update was released earlier that day and that when I checked using my phone, it said my phone was up to date. The woman checked and confirmed what I had told her so she did what she had to on her end and pushed it to my wife's phone. The woman actually called it a firmware update instead of just an update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
A similar thing happened to me. Last night, I was told that there was definitely an update available and that it would come to my phone within the next few hours. It did, but I called AT&T this evening about Knox, and was told that the update has been pulled. According to the rep, they made a statement that "AT&T and Samsung have pulled the update and are looking into issue." They go on to mention Galaxy Gear support, call quality, but that is it. They mention nothing about Knox.

Can you please share how you did this. Who did you talk to. Their number and so on?
I just dialed 611 and got ahold of, I think her first name was Carol (she was American and spoke excellent English), just tell whoever answers that you want the firmware update that'll take your phone from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Whoever you talk to should understand that, if not, demand to talk to someone else or a supervisor.

Got a hold of ATT they said that they have stopped pushing it out because of too many issues it was causing on some GS4's. Said ATT wa working on a fix and it would be back on OTA as soon as possible so I guess its just sit tight and wait.

They had the same problem with the 4.3 S3 update. Maybe they will include the Profile creator (KNOX) app that they previously excluded when they restart the OTAs.
AT&T Update
I was right by an AT&T Store when reading this, and went in to ask for myself. (I have an S4.) And he said to be patient, and that he doesn't know when it will be available.

Does anyone have an idea how to get this thing working???
Do you have insurance just go to a sprint store they will swap you into a refurb it may take a few days to get it being that its Friday and they only ship on business days
Thanks Dincdoes but I dont live in the states... that aside its not so much that the phone is broken as i said it keeps trying to get me to activate this ZACT thing which as far as i know is no longer offered not that it matters i just want to get rid of it
