"default" voicemail - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

curious about the "default" voicemail app that came with 4.3... the one I'm using now is just called Voicemail version T.5.3.4.32 with a copyright of Smith Micro Software, Inc. that came with the device. a while back when I used Titanium Backup I noticed that there was another voicemail app that was frozen by default. anyone know the difference between the two? the unfrozen one is nice, but littered with this annoyance to pay for the premium features... that I don't care for.

no one knows??

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?

Visual Voicemail?

Is there any possible way to save these REALLY IMPORTANT voicemail messages to the SD Card? I need them, BADLY.

Well, depending on the voicemail app, they should be saved elsewhere anyway. I know T-Mobile saves them to their servers, as does Google for those using Google voice. Just reinstall the apps and they should be available immediately. Or, if not, titanium backup might be able to do that.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Damn, I'm with T-Mobile. I tried using this headphone to headphone cord to record them with Audacity but that was just a fail. There's no other way, though any means necessary, to get them saved?

Well you might want to check with them as to whether voicemails are saved elsewhere. I'm pretty sure they are, but I'm not a rep for them, so I can't say for certain. They should automatically redownload to the visual voicemail App once you reinstall it.

Why not just use you mail??? I'm the market. It saves them all online.

TMO voicemail is definitely saved on the server side. Its the same database you'd get to if you called your voicemail directly by holding down 1 on the dialer.
Just reinstall the TMO vm app and they'd show up.

Actually visual voicemail is already in the phone app with Sense, but I ask because it had a tendency to disable and then erase my voicemail box. I can't have that happen a 4th time.

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.

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

Verizon Visual Voicemail?

I asked in the LeeDroid thread, then realized its probably better asked here instead.
Anyone have a working APK for the Verizon Visual Voicemail app for the HTC10? Once I flash a custom ROM such as LeeDroid (and, I assume any other custom ROM?) there's no longer any app for VVM.
In fact, as far as I can tell, there is no voicemail app at all; so anytime someone leaves me a VM, I'm not getting notified about it. The only way for me to check VM's is manually press 1 each time on the dialer.
Anyone else on VZW having this issue?

Uh, that's only the $3/mo VVM service. The basic VVM service (which is free with all phones that have Advanced Calling features) isn't going anywhere.
VVM
After July 8th, the only thing available will be *86.
It won't show in your messages as a playable message anymore.

Sure Did read it.
It says only *86 will be available.
That is my point: you won't any longer get playable messages stored in your M9 as before. You will have to dial *86.

What's going away is the $2.99 option.
Look under "Basic Visual Voice Mail (Included)"
App and *86
Again, read the link you posted. The first line:
On 7/8/2016, the $2.99 Visual Voice Mail service will be discontinued. Some older smartphones and basic phones that support it won't be able to use the service.
This is only impacting some older smartphones and basic phones.
The HTC 10 is newer and a smartphone, and is therefore unaffected because it qualifies for the free basic VVM.
I have the voicemail app n my viper rom here but it takes the 2.99 premium upgrade.
Is the new message+ app what your looking for? I think that had the VVM also. I had it saved somewhere but for the life of me I cant find it now. ill pull it later cause I'm going to back to stock to test something out.

The Voicemail app and Message+ are two different things.
The Voicemail app defaults you to a free trial of the $2.99 premium VVM, but you can downgrade straight away to the free VVM service from the menu.
The Message+ app can be downloaded from the Play Store (search for Verizon Messages).

Thanks all for the replies. Ultimately I'm just going back to Google voice for my VM's.

I figured that out after I searched the play store. I have never seen this basic VVM cause I never used the stuff, I have the app installed but never use , I also thought when I did start up the message app it did have a tab for the voicemail but again it was not there.
My voice-mail goes through my HTC messages app. It is a tab/slide over in the app

Is it set up like the m9 where the messages app has 3 tabs sms, mms, and voicemail because when I tap voicemail it takes me to my text messages with no voicemails after I installed those apks. That's is the messages apk from the Verizon version right? I think there is something else probably missing to make it work properly.

correct, i have no idea what else you need to get going though.
It has to be some type of file that joins the two together.

I am experiencing the same thing, after just switching to LeeDroid.
I tried downloading and installing the .APK file referenced in this thread. That seems to work somewhat, but when I launch the app I just get a message that says "Connecting to Visual Voicemail...", and then nothing happens. I wind up having to back out of the app.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Then there was this ... Running LeeDroid

I never got it figured out. But went back to stock.

Visual Voicemail.

To whom it may concern; I don't know what happened but for whatever reason my visual voicemail no longer works. I'm enrolled in the Phone Beta program but I'm just now experiencing this issue. Another funny thing about this issue is a day after this happened, my carrier sent me a text about installing their latest version of visual voicemail which I've never used. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did you correct it?
I've also received a similar text message from my carrier (TMO) but i haven't had any issue receiving voicemails.

I still receive my voicemails, but I can now only listen to them by calling my voicemail box instead of using the on screen visual voicemail as an option.

I use the Visual Voicemail on only one phone (my old G3). With the latest update it stopped working. Not sure what the deal is. Regular voicemail is okay.
Regarding the text message, they don't seem to give up. On all of my devices I get it. After deleting it I get it again on subsequent reboots. Quite annoying.

I just find it to be strange that a lot of people use a carrier unlocked device to avoid their carriers bloatware. It seems like TMO are trying to force their consumers to use their Visual Voicemail instead of the Visual Voicemail provided by the Google Phone app.

Same issue here, using Metro. So I'm guessing T-Mobile changed something on their end. Ironically, the official Metro visual voicemail app works just fine.
I just blocked the number that kept texting me
Not to mention, now my device status states that it's"locked", which is very strange since this phone is OEM factory unlocked.???.

I spoke with someone from tech support at TMO and according to him, if you don't have a Google Pixel phone, the visual voicemail and the chat features won't work.
