[Q] Voicemail Cyanogen

I recently just flashed Cyanogen and was shocked to see no voicemail app installed. I searched around and saw google voice stuff but when I tried to set it up it wouldn't work. Can someone help me please?

I believe there should be a flashable zip or the like with all the google apps.

I already flashed Google Apps, and there isn't any voicemail app included in the package.

There isn't an AOSP app for voicemail [besides I guess Google Voice]

Darn, I guess I'll have to pick up my phone from now on.

I believe you can just install sprint voicemail.

Sorry, I'm a noob. I tried searching for the apk in a couple roms, but had no luck. Which rom and where is it?

I suggest Google Voice. It is much better than sprint vvm.
Has anyone ever figured out to get rid of the phantom voicemail notification on cyanogen?

Hit clear under notifications to clear it. Not a permanent solution but it gets rid of it until reboot/tower switch.

ok mr man, what would you suggest that has free voice to text?? and what is so wrong with google voice?

Maybe every one doesn't want voice to text why else is it better

There's no voicemail app, because we had this thing back before smartphones, where you called a number, usually your own, and would get to a audio-prompt voicemail system...
I know, archaic, but most of the world still uses it.

Dowload SPC (free from the market) and blacklist 9016. Works like a champ.

I posted a flashable zip for Sprint VVM a while back which works fine on cm6.x. I use GV for my business line and Sprint VVM for my personal line on the same phone.

Sprint's VVM works just fine on CM6 for me-- no "phantom" VM notifications or anything. You do get text messages from 9016, but I configured Super Private Conversations to blacklist it awhile back and since then I've completely forgotten that was ever an issue.

That's so weird... I just had this problem this morning... after a little browsing, I found the APK for sprints visual voicemail. Simply install it from email and there you go! I'm running cm6 and the sprint vvm is working perfectly. I would definitely suggest that!

Flash the attached zip through recovery

Google Voice is annoying...

I signed into Google Voice on my phone to check out what it was, then boom...it takes over my phone. I hit do not disturb because I think it'd revert everything back but instead it blocked all incoming phone calls/texts. So, I took Google Voice and signed out of it and now I have call screening (where I have to press 1 to accept calls) and I no longer receive texts...last I did was sign out then uninstall Google Voice. What the hell?

To completely disable it you have to sign into Google.com/voice and disable it in the settings

Me thinks someone doesn't know how to use a simple and immensely useful app/feature.
By the way, is it considered a bad thing to have Udon ramen noodles for breakfast if you're a broke bachelor?

I can't imagine using android phone without Google Voice.

So how do you stop annoying "press 1 to accept the call" feature, and retain the functionality of transcribed VM's and SMS?

For some odd reason I won't get any phone calls on my nexus now.

I would recommend setting everything up on the web. I have my number integrated and don't even have the app installed

Have you tried a voodoo kernel?
On another note, I use GV for voicemail and voip when I want. On the first install it took over my entire phone buy after changing settings online I got it set up the way I wanted.

<3 i think the your problem is that you integrated your number when you install it instead of continuing press skip and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your gmail and follow the steps i had the same problem do not integrate!!1!!ONE!!

I'm finally able to use Google Voice without it taking over my device. After you've removed yourself from the software. You can go to the GV settings via the internet on your computer and just choose activate voice mail instead of choosing to integrate your device. Once this is done, open up GV on your device, and the first window allows you to skip the integration portion and allows you to just use it as Voicemail. BOOM!

I'll try this lol. I've got like 12 voicemails and can't get to them because I don't know my Sprint voicemail PIN. LOL

Question for Sprint customers who are using their Sprint number for their Google Voice account; are your Sprint mobile to mobile or anytime minutes accurate when using Google Voice?
Reason, I have seen complaints on other blogs, pertaining to inaccurate minutes usage and wondered if any of you have experienced this.
Best Regards!

Thanks, this worked for me. I tried using Hangouts for a few days but found it lacking in some areas (mainly I wasn't able to easily locate who was online/offline/away). Talk just seems a lot more user friendly as it's much simpler.

I noticed there was an update to the Hangouts app on September 30. I'm still using talk because when I tried hangouts when it first came out it was very difficult to use. Has anyone downloaded the updated hangouts app? According to some comments I read, you now have the ability to see who is online. Has the new update improved the functionality?

It's much quicker now. When you first boot (or if you kill the app) it still takes a second to open Hangouts, but returning to the app doesn't reload it every time like it did on the last version. It also seems much faster when moving between hangouts/opening a new hangout.

It's the xposed module and yes it does work. Somewhere in the settings, I can't remember. I think it's in the security hacks section of xposed.

It is in wanam under security.

Does anyone know if AT&T's statement regarding allowing video chat apps that come preloaded on AT&T phones to once again work over their mobile network by the end of 2013 applies to Google Hangouts? I know they were addressing the outrage associated with them blocking Facetime...but it seems like it should apply to Hangouts also. I can't get an answer from AT&T, everyone I've talked to with customer service didn't even know what Google Hangouts was.
Note 3 -- Tapatalk version [HORRIBLE.1x]

It seems like Hangout uses the actual phone number from the carrier to send and receive SMS even though it was my Google Voice number that was confirmed after the update. I have tried sending SMS from Hangout but my friend did not receive it on the other end.
I had AT&T blocked all text messages since switching to Google Voice when they told me that they would only offer unlimited text message plan. Yea, I was annoyed enough to go change my number on all my friend's contact list. SMS from AT&T itself isn't blocked and those are the ones that show up in Hangout.

The latest Hangouts update allows me to use over mobile data BTW.

Google Voice Compatible

So the Android Authority review said that the dialer is not compatible with Google Voice. This is huge for me. Can someone test this? Try a 3rd party dialer?

But if you put the phone to your ear, it lets you use voice commands to choose who to dial.

Sorry, but that has nothing to do with Google Voice. What you are referring to is the voice feature of Google Now. Thanks for the reply though
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk

Going off of the article, I think that it means that you are unable to route Google Voice calls via the stock app. Some potential work-arounds might be to use Hangouts Dialer to make calls and/or if possible, download the stock Android dialer APK or a 3rd party dialer and make all Google Voice calls through that instead.
Will have to wait for more information/reviews to see what the full extent of it is.

That is what I figured, but this is very strange. This is the very same issue I have on my Mate 8. Unfortunately, at least for the Mate 8, using a 3rd party dialer does not resolve the issue. Hangouts dialer lacks noise cancellation and other essential features.

How does google voice and the hangouts dialer differ?

It routes your calls via your carriers normal network, for example VOLTE or 2G. It also allows your device to use it's native noise cancelling features, which are much more optimized than Hangouts Dialer
