I also noticed in SMS Settings that it is set to use wap.verizon for messaging should we set this back to a sprint server?

Same error message here. I can watch it for a limited amount of time, and then I get that error message. An uninstall and reinstall of sprint tv gets it working again, but only for a while (an hour or so?).
I checked settings/network, and it says my network is sprint there.
Pull your build.prop and replace "Verizon" with "Sprint." It's a little more complicated than that, but do a search, and you can find specific instructions.

I pulled my build.prop file. I don't see any mention of Verizon in there, only Sprint. I'm new to this, so I'm not clear on what these lines mean. Here are the lines containing Sprint.
ro.product.brand=sprint
ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_heroc/heroc/heroc:1.5/CUPCAKE/85027:user/release-keys
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us
Should there be more places I would find Sprint?

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I pulled my build.prop and made the changes. Do I need to clear the davlik cache after pushing the updated build.prop file back?
Is there a way to find out what your carrier specific info is? Mine is appalachian wireless in eastern ky.

Well, I am obviously a noob, but I have not got this figured out yet. I added:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric 310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha Sprint
and pushed the file and my phone froze up halfway through the boot sequence. I tried booting into recovery and pushing the old build.prop file, but it still froze, so I used a nandroid backup.
I didn't have any lines that began ro.cdma.home, so I had to add those lines. Is there a specific place in the file that they have to go? I added them after
ro.cdma.privilege.timeout=120000
since it looked the closest, but frankly, I didn't know where they were supposed to go. I really appreciate the help. I'm still trying to do searches, but I can't find a specific thread that is a tutorial on editing build.prop. If there is one, I'd be really appreciative to anyone that can point me to it.
Thanks!
My phone didin't come with any Sprint Apps. I just want the Sprint Zone app. I was wondering if anyone has the .apk from their S7.

OP had a provisioning problem and now has all the proper software.
I think have the same issue, what is the fix? When I moved all the stuff my s6 to my s7 edge, I seemed to have lost the sprint folder.

Try dialing ##SCRTN#. If that doesn't fix it and you don't have any of the standard Sprint junk (including Zone), you'll need to do a ##RTN#, unfortunately. (Unfortunately because that requires a device wipe.)
Not once in my life have I seen ...
Don't you mean his phone was fixed before, and now that the provisioning has installed a bunch of crap, now it's broken? Lol
I'm in the same boat as to OP; I don't see any Sprint bloatware, but I want Sprint Zone. I used the OTG and SmartSwitch to transfer my data over from my VZW SG6, I never really used the phone before transferring, so I don't know if I ever had the Sprint folder to lose it.
If I do ##SCRTN# will I lose anything on my phone? I've spent hours setting up my phone and I'd hate to have to do it again, (I mean logging into apps, copying app data, setting up custom notification sounds, restoring all Whatsapp messages etc.) I definitely won't go through this all again just for the Sprint Zone app.

No, on chrome, check show desktop version. Then click download through browser
It's been pulled straight from my s7.

My phone installed all the Sprint bloatware, but my Wifes phone did not. I ended up just doing a Factory Restore on her phone, used the USB xfer thing to xfer all her stuff again, and the Sprint **** ended up installing.

Bumping an old thread here.
Installed on Echoe rom but only half works. Is it because of the rom or something with the apk?
If you run into this problem where your Sprint Zone is missing, Voicemail missing and the voicemail icon continually stays on your Samsung phone with Sprint. Go to the Play Store and download the Samsung Refresh Customization app....it works wonders!
Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you
This is simple through titanium backup. No one?
The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.
Thanks again seems to be working
Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.
Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.
It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?
Yeah I couldn't get it to work either
Didn't work for me either
Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.
Link vvm
On a side note samsung got what they deserve for [email protected] us usa s7 owners. I hope they lose tons of money

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...
It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back
If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?
Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse
Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

I bought my V20 directly - not thru veizon and it is activated on the Verizon network. When I try to install Verizon Visual Voicemail, it says my device is not compatible. I tried downloading the apk and it "installs" but when I try to open it I get "This app is not supported on this device." Has anyone found a way to make this work? I have to assume that if I'd bought this from Verizon, it would work.
Stock, mine worked fine. Rooted and running a 996 ROM though, I'm in the same boat. I haven't tried REAL hard yet, but if you come across a work-around, let me know.
I'm working on it now, trying to find a fix for this one..
I had the same issue, using my unlocked v20 (us996) on Verizon. Went to the store and the tech guy says that the visual voicemail service will be soon discontinued and something else will be released and to wait for it, but as of now there is no way to get the voicemail app on phones that aren't Verizon.
Hmm, ok so I got the visual voicemail app that came on WETA rom, but it doesn't do voice to text like I was expecting... Buttttttt, that's because Verizon charges for it and I'm not paying $2.99 for something that Google Voice does for free lol..
Well of course there's always "something", right..?!?
Google Voice says it doesn't work with my provider...! Whelp, back on the hunt for a VVM app I can use, that's hopefully free..

In our case, I actually do have a Verizon phone, just using a ROM for a different model. Was hoping to find a build.prop edit, or something that would let me re-label the phone back correctly so Verizon would see it. I know that they said that 7.1+ would build the VM into the native system, instead of an app - maybe that's what they were talking about? My other issue is that I use Google Voice with a 2nd number for a business line, so I can't exactly use it for my main number's VM.

I did, with my 2nd number, and it's been fine since. I rarely use it for calls, but I use it for incoming, and for it's VM. So far, it seems to work fine. Call comes in correctly, goes to VM (which reminds me I have to change my message lol).
Ok so i had google voice for a few hours and it was cool.. But I figured I'd try to stick with a more oem approach, so I found the Pixel XL dialer.. Now I'm tweaking that to work for me, love the visuals on it that's for sure..!
A few hours ago I received a notification on my Sprint LG V20 that an app was updated. Upon closer inspection I found that it was actually a new app installed through the LG Update service center or "LGinstallservice" i.e the one that updates LG's stock proprietary apps like Qmemo and their Clock app and so forth.
The app is called DrAPN_N and it installed itself as a system app. It is currently and has been running in the background process of my phone since that time.
A quick Google search only yielded a Reddit thread with a few more confused LG users with a couple different LG devices that had received the same app on their device (a few posts from today and some a few days back).
My guess (and big emphasis on the word guess) is that it's some sort of hotfix that updates the apn info that sprint has them lock down and isnt editable to a user without modifications, hence the name "Dr. APN". If that's the case I'd be curious what it changes and why. I also just remembered Sprint was doing some spectrum modifications on their old 2g network (or something like that) and realize now that it could have something to do with Sprints repurposing to increase coverage in rural areas. I forget what they are calling that rollout but that along with the name kinda equals my best guess on all of this as of now.
Screenshot below. Thanx for any input or info.
My stock unrooted TMobile variant just got that yesterday. I was wondering what it was.
I remember seeing DRapn. So i guess it's not just a Sprint thingy.
I got this app yesterday. I'm using a sprint v20, but not on sprint or in America. Previously I had been using Textra to use custom APN settings to get MMS working, and it had been fine. But upon installation of this app, those custom changes were no longer applied. Reapplying them has no effect, and now, though sms and call still functions, MMS does not. If this app represents an attempt to lock down custom APN usage, that would be distressing but would explain my failure to get MMS working now despite my efforts. I'm still looking for (an unrooted) solution to uninstall or work around this app. (I would root but am on the latest firmware and don't believe it's rootable right now, though I haven't checked in a while.)
This app just installed on my Sprint LG G5 about an hour ago and I called LG support about it. They didn't have an answer for me, but they said they would call me back when they had an answer. I'll post anything I find out here.
The app installed on my phone today. LG V20
If someone can post the apk, it could probably be disassembled to see what it does... Otherwise everyone's making guesses
DrAPN_N
It just intalled itsself on my rooted sprint v20, link to apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-R7ZSHt-19Bl2XJvV9sANjWsEdat8rb-/view?usp=drivesdk
Uninstalling it and disabling the LG service that installed it now. :good:
I thought I would add that (as this app was making it impossible for my APN settings to be retained longer than a few minutes on my sprint lg V20 being used outside USA) I set about to disable it. The disable button was greyed out so I denied it permissions to change system settings and deleted its cache. To my suprise it still had the effect of undoing my APN settings. So I disabled it via ADB, and that did the trick. Been using the phone for 24 hours since and noticed no issues.
ADB?

according to LG , this app is supposed to determine and program APN automatically based on inserted SIM.
Would be nice if it had a GUI to disable itself. Do you have non-Sprint APN? What happens to your APN settings? do they reset back to sprint?
Does new APN gets unselected? deleted?

Thanks for that information.
I do have a non Sprint APN. I'm using a Sprint phone outside USA. I had had to set my phone to expect an AT&T connection, in a secret dialer menu, to get it fully working. (I described the process above.) I expect my weird set up did something Drapn was not expecting, causing it to mess up the issue it was meant to address.
Forgive this lengthy reply, but I'll leave it in case others have the same problem. Before this Drapn issue, just editing APN in regular stock android settings, while it allowed most data to work, and sms, would not allow MMS or certain kinds of messaging, like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. I have no idea why, though I did find other users online with the same problem using sprint phones outside America. Eventually I fixed the problem by marking the phone AT&T in the secret dialer menu, as described in my previous post in this thread. At that point the APN settings took hold. Until Drapn was installed, which perhaps got confused between the Sprint/AT&T/My Carrier settings. I could input APN settings into the stock android system settings, and sometimes it would work initially (other times, if I edited too many fields, the entry would vanish after I saved it) but always it would stop working after a few minutes or at least inside an hour. Had I factory reset the phone, and attempted my modifications from scratch with Drapn installed, perhaps it would have worked fine. Then again perhaps the necessary changes would have been impossible to implement.
I am not sure what APN settings Drapn was reverting me to. My custom entry would either remain but stop functioning, or else be deleted, and also stop functuoning. All I know is that nothing worked until I disabled Drapn with ADB, having deleted its cache and revoked its permissions.
Because I was using a phone modified within a secret dialer menu, I don't figure I can get 100% mad at LG for pushing an app that borked my phone. You play with fire you get burned, etc. Then again, pushing an app with no transparency as to what it does, and no freedom to disable it, is certainly not the best. I suppose now I have to worry if accepting the Oreo update will reintroduce this issue and leave my phone inoperable outside the USA.

check out the LG V30 threads. this is exactly what happened there. Unlocked by sprint phones became locked again after Oreo update. And if you are no longer on Sprint network you are stuck. So yes, you have all the reasons to worry.

Yikes. Thanks for that. Just read through a big thread, what a mess. Looking like I'll likely be trapped on Nougat. Much appreciated, at least I didn't find out the hard way.
