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.

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!

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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA 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

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?

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
I am trying to get Verizon Visual voicemail set up on my phone. I had it working with True2.1. After upgrading to True2.7, I now get an error code of 9009.
Here are some things that I have tried:
Turning off Wi-Fi
Turning off my Network Extender
Removing /Installing the VVM app, clearing data along the way
Clean install of True2.7 with just the VVM app
Using the build.prop from True2.1 on True2.7
Calling Vz Tech support
Contacting the ROM developer
Posting my problem on the thread for the True ROM
None of these approaches work. Im at a loss on what to try next. Unfortunately I'm back on True2.1 where VVM works.
Any suggestions from the XDA community?
Googling the error code returned this:
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/830429
*73 undoes any call forwarding options (conditional or otherwise) and returns the account to the default forwarding setting (which is to voicemail).
Thanks for the suggestion and the search. I cleared the app data for VVM. Dialed *73 from my phone. Turned off Wi-Fi and disconnected my Network Extender. I than tried reinstalling VVM and it fails like before. Reports error code 9009.
What is really strange is that an earlier version of the True ROM works fine. I worked on True2.1 and fails on True2.7. So strange.
I would love to find the cause of this problem. Any other suggestions from the XDA community?
My guess is there's a service missing that allows for the vvm functionality. I'm running version 2.6.2 of the same rom but will likely switch over to stock one 6.0.1 comes out. Will then debloat using titaniumbackup.

I'm not. I'm on sprint. I actually think you're better off with google voice as your messages are retained between carriers. With carrier VVM if you ever switched, messages would be lost.
Another option is youmail.
So, now that I have CM13 working successfully (again), is there any way to get the Visual Voicemail app? ( com.motorola.visualvoicemail ) Play store won't let me download it, citing "incompatibility" (Suuuuuure it is....), and the only app download site I can find that seems to be reuputable (evozi) never has devices to fetch it or returns api errors. Is there any good way to get this app on my phone? Or am I out of luck?

I went through the same thing with PhoenixROM. Got the apk and loaded it, then restored Verizon SSO and still would get errors every time I tried to delete a voicemail. I took the advice of others and tried YouMail as a replacement for visual voicemail. I miss the VZW icon changing with the number of messages, but YouMail sends an email and a notification when I get a voicemail. I don't like it as much but it's free and I can now eliminate all Verizon software from my phone, so I'm happy. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but YouMail (and I'm sure there are others) is an acceptable substitute for me.
I went into the stock Phone app to activate my voicemail with T-Mobile, but each time I try I get a "Cannot activate voicemail" error. Did a lot of Googling, and it sounds like a lot of people have run into this. T-Mobile support was useless. I know I can use T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app, but that would be my Plan B. I've tried installing and then uninstalling the T-Mo voicemail app. Has anybody else run into this and figured out a solution?

Yeah, the stock phone app has built-in visual voicemail
Can't activate either. Even on old phone. The general consensus is they do not allow 3rd party vvm apps with their service.
This comes from someone who called twice, filed a complaint against first, and explained in depth what the issue was, spending 40+ mins on the call.
I'll follow the thread but it seems like you have to use the VVM app.
does att allow you to use your built in vvm client?

I wouldn't expect much in the way of updates on this issue. T-mobile has been disabling built in visual voicemail on Android phones for years with some sort of network side switch. A handful of people have gotten it to work on some unlocked Pixels and maybe one or two other devices, but the results are never reproduceable.

on my last phone (OnePlus 6T) I had to use the T-Mobile application when not rooted. When I had root I was able to get visual voicemail with transcription via the Google (Pixel) Dialer and changing some lines of an xml file in the root directory and also install the Google phone app as a system app.

That’s pretty lame forcing more spam ware onto us like this. Last built in VVM that worked for me using T-Mobile was with an unlocked USA mode note 9.
