I'm running Fusion Voicemail Plus (v2.3, downloaded from Microsoft) on my US Tmobile TP2
It's working great (and I'd strongly recommend it), except for one thing...
I don't get the 'voicemail' icon at the top of the screen indicating there's a new VM waiting.
The program launches ok when the VM arrives, but often ends up hidden 'behind' another application (e.g. if I'm in a call when the VM comes in). Then I don't see I have a call until I manually check.
Just wanted to know if other TP2 users were having this problem?

I really like the TMo Visual Voicemail and have tried to install. Every time it falils. Anyone know when this will be a working app.
Don't install from the market. It will fail because Visual Voicemail is already built in to the MT4G.
Go to the dialer, and on the bottom bar, there's a voicemail section. If you already have visual voicemail as a service, then you've got it.

have you set up your voicemail yet...i had this problem too, and it was driving me f'n crazy...til i listened to my voicemail the first and set up it...after that, i had my visual voicemail going
Did you go to the Settings under Visual Voicemail and enable it?
I had to call tmo customer service, since for some reason my visual voicemail wasn't checked as a service.
Go to t-mo website and make sure you have visual voicemail as a service listed under your account first.
You need to activate it on your phone. If that doesn't work. Make sure the market version is not installed, go to settings/applications/all, scroll down to find the visual voicemail app, select it then select delete data. That should clear things up but you'll probably need to activate it again in your phone dialer.
What happens? does it give you an error or no vmx listed in there?
Also you may want to try google voice, its free and it has some options that T-mobile VVM does not have.
Mine always tells me my phone is associated with another account. I bought it from the 800 number brand new.

You have to call TMOBILE and have it activated... it would not WORK on my mt4g either until I called them and had it activated on my phone.... I didnt keep it long though I went BACK to google voice, which in my opinion is clearly superior...
I was having the same problem you are describing, visual voicemail saying it was assoicated with another account. After 20 min with T-Mobile tech support their solution was to send me another MT4G. I have a bad feeling thats not going to fix it though.

Please post questions in Q&A section.
Received my "new" phone today. Visual voicemail is still broken, leading me to believe it is something on T-Mobiles end. Hoping someone else chimes in with the same problem and maybe a fix.

ditto - similar/same issue here since basically day one ... seems like when i cycle to Edge/2g network off of 3G/HSPA (i force it to Edge only when I'm at home to save battery since I have fast WiFi) - the visual voicemail more/less stops functioning ... a couple things that fix it (temporarily until the next time I go to Edge and/or restart) is to 1) press the menu button while in visual voicemail and go into settings and uncheck enable visual voicemail and then check it again ... after this is done - I often have to hit the menu button again and press 'sync' ... as long as you have a data connection this works much of the time. def seems to work better on 3G/HSPA than 2G/edge ... if that fails I .. 2) just restart the device ... after I do this - this is when I often see the 'this voicemail was associated with another account' or some crap message when I first click on visual voicemail .. but after re-enabling and syncing again - I'm always good to go..
a serious pain in the @$$ but luckily I've trained most everyone in my life on a diet of mostly email and text so voicemails to me are kind of becoming obsolete ... or I'd probably be more pissed..
IMHO, you should ditch the lousy VVM built in and give YouMail a try. It's free and has so many options. Like the ability to choose a different message based on who is calling, block certain callers etc...
Plus, YouMail has a great free app in the Market.
Mine wouldn't notify me when i had a new voicemail. I just use google voice now and no issues.
Same problem here, I keep getting the message "associated with other account". I already have VM activated, and already set it up on my phone. It's fairly random, as my VM will work normally for x number of days. Then all of a sudden I get that message.
VVM issues
I got my phone when it first came out and could not get vvm to work; I called tech support and they said at first it was on their end. A month went by and I called back and they said things were ok on their end, I had added VVM to my account, and then they (2 different people) tried to get me to download from the market even tho the app is built into the mt4g.
I had enabled vvm when I first got the phone and never worked. So this time, I went into settings (open dialer, choose vvm tab, hit menu button) and disabled it, which then did not allow me to get back into settings. So, from home screen, hit menu, settings, manage applications and found visual voicemail and I believe hit button to clear cache and then rebooted my phone. I went back to vvm under dialer, checked the settings and it has worked ever since....hope this may help someone.

are you sure it was clear cache? because my cache shows 0.00B and as such can't clear anything (button is greyed out) ... are you sure it's not clear DATA?
i've heard of people having problems clearing the data on certain programs and having to hard/factory reset which i would REALLY hate to do at this point just to 'try' something out ..... ?
Thanks for this tip. YouMail is awesome!

Hi,
This is my first posting here and this forum looks promising. I just bought Samsung i5800 from Amazon and the phone looks beautiful and has lot of nice features. I'm on T-Mobile network with no data plan. I have couple of questions on the general phone usage, installing VOIP softphone software and other issues. I apologize if my questions were already asked and answered. I searched the forum but couldn't find specific answers to my questions.
1. Firstly, the phone is running little bit sluggish. Opening and closing apps seems to be tad slow. I checked up the Manage Services and killed some of them but the others I felt were important and left it out. There wasn't a lot of services running though. How to fix this issue?
2. The phone is running on Android 2.1. Do you guys know if there is a official Android 2.2 Froyo update from Samsung for this phone? If not, where do I get 2.2 ROM. Will installing 2.2 make the phone run faster?
3. On the VOIP softphone front, I set up a new sipgate account and also a Google Voice account. I installed the free csipsimple opensource software from Android market and configured it. I don't have a independent dialer to go thru csipsimple. When I use the regular phone dialer from the phone to call somebody, csipsimple is popping up and asking me if I want to go thru it or use the Mobile itself and I choose csipsimple and it works extremely well. I hope it is using my Wifi network. I checked my T-Mobile account and there was no activity in the call log for the calls I made thru csipsimple. Now, here is the problem. When I call somebody, the other party receives the call as "Unknown". How to fix this issue? Should they be seeing my google voice number? The other big issue is I'm not getting any incoming calls thru VOIP. As I had mentioned earlier, I don't have GV dialer. Do I have to buy GV Dialer ($1.99) to make the incoming calls work? All I need is to have free incoming and outgoing calls when I'm on Wifi network. Can somebody please help me on this?
Thanks.

I have no idea if this is a phone related issue, but I get no notifications whatsoever when I receive a voicemail ... no LED, no sound notification, no tape icon ... NOTHING.
I was stunned when I dialed my voicemail today and had 19 messages dating back to February.
I'm on a rooted S5 with Android 5.0.
I have checked all the notification areas and don't have anything turned off.
Has anyone ever heard of something like this?
Have you logged into the Verizon voicemail app? If you haven't logged into that, then it may not forward the messages. I've had that issue in the past.
did you you use another voice service provider and are you using a verizon stock rom ?
Thanks. I'm using the stock rom posted for the Lollipop root method. I ended up getting on Verizon support chat. It took 45 minutes, but the agent said he "synced my phone and put voicemail on it from his end." It still doesn't show up as an app on my phone, but it does now notify me. Anybody have a Verizon Visual Voicemail apk for the s5 on 5.0?
Assuming you are using a ported rom like TOXIC or PureNote, you should be receiving texts to alert you, instead of the usual method.
If you are on the stock ROM, then the visual voicemail app is built in.

This problem just started occurring to me last week. A co-worker called me and said my voice mail wasn't set up.. I didn't even know she left me a voice mail! I had to re set-up my voice mail and now I'm not getting voice mail notifications either.
I'm on the stock rom, 4.4.4 ; my voice mail app is 3.0.6 (according to titanium backup) and hadn't been updated in months...
Can someone comment on whether visual voicemail works outside of the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app IF I DISABLE the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app (using package disabler)?
I noticed the Samsung phone app has visual voicemail, is it going to work if I disable the Tmo app?
Thanks!
I figured it out after about an hour of testing.
The stock Samsung phone app's Visual Voicemail works fine, so it's perfectly safe to delete Tmo's voicemail app. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT you have to first open Tmo's app, allow everything, and get it all set up (e.g. get past everything so that you're able to listen to an actual voicemail). Probably load one voicemail just to be safe. Then it's OK to delete the app and just rely on the Visual Voicemail and notification functionality of Samsung's stock phone app.
Turns out that's wrong and it's still a cluster****. It worked, but if you restart the phone it's broken again. If anyone figures it out please leave a reply as this thread will likely be viewed by people over the next year or so.
The Samsung ROM has visual voicemail built in, and it's specifically Tmo's visual voicemail functionality on this Tmo variant model. So it should do visual voicemail fine without the branded T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app which is so non-necessary that it even lets you uninstall it.
only v voice mail that i have is t mobile v voice mail. i don't have any other additional apps for v voice mail. Why do you want to remove t mobile version?
I'm on TMobile and I got TMobile's variant of the S8 Plus. When I press the VM button in the dialer, it just calls the VM number. What does your Samsung ROM VVM look like? Are you on TMobile's variant?
Is it possible to use the native Samsung dialer visual voicemail or not? I take it not possible like it is on ATT?
