Finally!!! A solution that worked!!!
I DO NOT CLAIM CREDIT. I'M PROVIDING THIS FOR THE GOOD OF THE FORUM (Original post found here)
Download the Sprint VVM 5.1.0.48 Titanium Backup zip: Download attached below
Extract the Sprint VVM 5.1.0.48 Titanium Backup zip to the root of the SD card.
Download & install Titanium Backup from the Market.
Launch Titanium Backup and make sure Sprint VVM is removed (if not, use Titanium Backup to remove it).
Install the Sprint VVM (/sdcard/sprint_vvm_5.1.0.48.apk).
Launch Titanium Backup, select Sprint VVM, select Restore and select Data Only.
NOTE: There is App+Data but it doesn't work.
Launch the Sprint VVM and "Compose" a message to yourself. It will test send and receive functions of Sprint VVM.
Enjoy and report back to the XDA thread with your results.
NOTE: If the above steps do not work, try manually placing the contents of the folder (titaniumbackup) into the preexisting titanium backup folder, i.e. install the APK as instructed, but also extracting the three files within the contained folder into your titanium backup folder.
I can verify and confirm that Sprint VVM (SVVM) works under CM7 Nightly 12 with the stock kernel, using the above method.
NB: On receipt of new voicemail, a text from "9016" will be sent to your phone. I'm using the basic CM7 MMS app and haven't figured out how to stop these notification texts, but that's a minor annoyance to have SVVM back!
Holy crap - thanks! I have seen this solution before, but no one posted a backup file with it. You fixed my voicemail for the first time since I flashed the first unofficial cm7.
Thanks bro
This worked perfectly. Thank you!
Sweet! This works!
Thanks so much!
CM7-RC2
I've tried a number of versions of the VVM app without success but I'll give this one a whirl.
Thanks!!! : )

Ditto! I have tried various other techniques and this finally worked!
Would be nice if this could somehow be packaged into a single APK though. Anyone know how to do that?
it took me few times to figure out the direction since i already had titanium and i just switched to a new sd card
But, its working Thanks
Sprint vvm has always worked with cm but it is the annoying texts you get with each voicemail. You can use handcent or chomp sms and blacklist the texts fyi.
Ok so im having a hard time figuring out what im supposed to do. ill just list my steps and yea i would appreciate any help.
1. Downloaded the zip and extracted it on the root of the sd.
2. installed titanium backup
3. through TB I checked to see if there was any copy of sprint_vvm (there wasnt)
4. I found the sprint_vvm.apk and installed it.
- This is where i get lost
5. i go back to TB and look for a restore button. i see the Backup/restore tab so i assume thats
the right place. I find the app in the list but when i select it the only options i have are are to
freeze, un-install, backup, run app, and wipe data.
sorry if this seems like a dumb question but im pretty stumped.
I've seen this reposted so many times, this should be like seriously stickied! Thanks for the info though, I'm sure someone will benefit from a more recent post of this.
When you see those options you listed THATS how you uninstall it. You should first backup vvm in titamium while running a sense rom. Make sure vvm is working, backup, wipe and flash CM then follow dirs

Sprint VVM isnt open source. To avoid being taken to court things like this are left out.
Thank you for including the TB file.. my issue was I could never get TB to show any backed up VVM from a sense rom... and google voice caused a horrible wakelock when I tried using it.
If this works, will be freakin awesome... thanks again.
**edit** I think I'm gonna go ahead and delete the TB folder on my sd card that way this folder will be the only one there. I can create new backups with TB when the time comes.
Handcent can't properly block those 9016 messages I still get the notification, (not sound,) and my home widget shows the message count. The only solution is to view blacklisted items and remove them individually. Apparently it's a known bug on their site.

Yea, it has always done this to me as well. I had the notification for it but couldn't clear it and it still showed on my dockbar counter.
PITA but not as much as getting a TEXT, a notification and an email from google voice to go along with the GV wakelock I had. It is what it is I guess.

I felt like I found heaven once I saw the post and file that I referenced. It was a Godsend because SVVM is actually pretty useful (and it reminds me of the same function on the iPhone -- that was perhaps its best feature, AFAIWC).
It probably should be Sticky-ed.
MODs: how do we get this "stuck" so people can find this solution easily?
Yep, it works!!
I was trying for about an hour tonight to get Sprint Visual Voicemail back up and running on my Evo. Thank you VERY much for the awesome info and download!
I, too, can verify this method worked on my HTC Evo 4G.
Hello all, i'm desperately in need of your help!!
1) The problem:
-my NAND (internal storage memory) runs out of space all of a sudden when I know for sure that it has plenty of free space since I install almost everything on my microSD. All my user setting/sms/contacts were reset and emptied. Every time I reboot/turn on my phone, it always make me go through the whole Initial Setup Wizard as if it was a brand new phone. Apparently since there's 0 space available on NAND, it simply cannot save my setting.
2) Back ground Info:
- my hd2 has been running coredroid 1.5 (or 1.6) perfectly on NAND for over 6+ months.
- I know NAND is still working because I'm still able to boot into android.
3) What I need:
- I need to figure out a way to recover my contacts and sms from NAND before I reformat it and reflash android. Please help me I've been searching on XDA and google for the past hours but no dice
thanks a million in advance!!!
just download sms backup app and add contacts with your google accout

thanks for your response, but I dont think u understand my question. My contacts and SMS are emptied, so a regular backup app will not help me in this case. What I need is to somehow recover contacts and sms from internal storage.
Titanium backup can schedule the backup/restore
You guys are not understanding me, backup app can only backup the data that's currently there. but if the data has been deleted, these backup apps cannot recover them...
since they are gone, they have probably been removed. I don't think u can recover them..
computer memory and/or hard drives usually still retain the files that you deleted. it's possible to recover files after you format hard drive, so of course it's possible to recover files from a memory chip.
so I was looking at my TitaniumBackup folder, and I see these files:
com.android.providers.contacts-20110409-103323.properties
com.android.providers.contacts-20110409-103323.tar
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts-20110409-103331
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts-20110409-103331.tar
can one of the files above contain my contacts?
mythek88, first
P.S. and Titanium can backup to dropbox =)
sorry buddy...i dont think you can recover contacts and smss....they are converted into binary and stored is what i vaguely remember reading.
there is a undelete app for root users, if you are one... try this app. i cant promise it will bring back sometime, but sometime trying is all it takes...good luck
to avoid this situation, i typically sync everything with my gmail so i can always recover anytime....
Thank you for all the inputs, I've given up on trying to recover my data and have went ahead and reformat/repartition/reflashed my rom. Luckily I found an old backup of my contacts, so I only lost a handful of new numbers.

Restore SMS from mmssms.db with adb
Hi all,
Can anybody help me how to restore mmssms.db and also the contacts2.db? I read I can do it with adb, but as I tried, it sayd Permission Denied.
Can anybody write me a step-by-step guide how can I restore them for sure?
Thanks a lot.
Additionally, I tried Titanium, it doesn't see these files, so that is why is went for adb.
Please help!
Thanks a lot.
Hello all,
Is there any way to go around the Whatsup limitation tbat says that it is can't worked on my tablet?
I've tried a few things but its not working.
Thank you in advance.

Try making a Titanium backup of Whatsapp from your android phone, then send that backup to your tablet and restore it there, both app+data.
An issue you will find is that messages from WA will start coming into the tablet or the phone and you will not be able to have the whole chat in one device. At least that's what I found out and preferred keeping things straight on my phone, because I have it with me all of the time.
Hope that helps.

Thank you in advance

Solved!
You can read in my personal blog another method. http://pcdemano.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=19761&mode=&order=0&thold=0
It's only need the app SRT:AppGuard to disable telephon android permissions in the WhatsApp instalation.
Hi everyone,
first of all, sorry for my english, i'm not fluent but i'm trying my best.
I bought a GN3 n9005, and tried to transfer data from my old phone (htc one) to it. I used MyBackup Pro and Message Sync, but there was nothing to do. On my htc, i have 8304sms, and no matter what i do, it seems that the GN3 won't let me restore all of them on it.
Is there something i can do?
Please help me
Try Titanium backup
OR
SMS Backup Restore

use this
Thanks guys for your quick answers. I've already used titanium backup pro, sms backup restore, smssync, MessageSync, Backup to Gmail. With MessageSync i output an xml from my htc, get it on my GN3, but while restoring, an error occurs when it exceeds 3000 sms (approximately). (screenshot attached to this post) With the others, in my sms box, i see 21 conversations all empty.
I think SMS backup restore won't erase existing when you restore. So try backup and restore in two pieces.

I did a factory reset so it was totally empty. Then after xml load fail, i erased all empty conversations so it was again clean, no sms, nothing.
I'm wondering if there's something in the sqlite like the "sms_outgoing_check_max_count" variable that i should set to illmited or something like that. Getting crazy with this thing!
My Mi A1 not backing up after Pie update.
The 'backup now' is also greyed out.
Tried toggle backup on/off and reboot.
Help please!!
Anyone?
same problem here
Thanks for replying.
This must be a serious bug, I have let Xiaomi know.
Hopefully they will fix issue with February update.
Cheers!
This is working but is not giving back the Button work, it's doing the backup of your all phone to Google drive.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/guide-google-backup-waiting-to-backup-t3895101
Thanks for the tip.
It's a bit beyond me doing that.
Do you think Xiaomi will fix this with an update? My Mi A1 has no backup on Google drive.
Thanks
Dont ask me why or how but this worked for me:
In 'Backup' the button was greyed out...
I clicked on my account (e-mail)
'Add account'
Wrote same e-mail as original
Received error and backed out.
...
All the sudden the 'Backup now' button is active again!!
(I replicated this twice!)
Please try and respond if this works for all!
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I go Gmail in Mi A1 click to add account > add my default Gmail account and get a red text saying 'The account already exists on your device'.
Click out
Check backup, backup now is still greyed out.
Thanks
I have no backup of my device, important information in contacts that I have had since 1995! Yes 25 years.
Xiaomi are you reading this!!!

No they don't. If you want to appeal to them, you have to go to MIUI forum.
If that is so important, maybe you should make a offline update first? And don't trust the ggdrive backup solution too much. My dad backup and when he restore, he loses all contact except for contacts begin with L, M, N and it's a pain to get them back.

What offline backup software do you recommend? I have a MacBook pro and Parallels with Windows 7.

I use many backup solutiosn, because I haven't found one all-in-one software yet.
Contacts: every contact app should have an option to export contact as v-card format.
SMS&call logs: SMS backup & restore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore)
For every other things I just copy them from my phone storage to the PC.
February update has not fixed this important issue. Still no backup.

You are right.
The only way to temporary enable backup button is to disable lockscreen, launch backup manually then re-enable lockscreen.

Any advice to solve the Contacts backup issue.

Very strange about Contacts backup. In my device, this is the only item that syncs without the "Backup Now" button.
I think only a new update will fix everything.
Just try this:
disable lockscreeen
disable backup
reboot
enable backup
force backup with "Backup now" button
Then tell me if Contacts is still in queue for sync.
