So I've got this notification that will not go away. (clearing does nothing).
When I tap on it, it says it's downloading an upgrade to what appears to be stock voicemail mail. When done, it asks
Code:
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved.
When I hit "OK", I get the standard install approval screen, hit "install", then get bounced to a screen that just says "Application not installed" with just a "done" on the bottom.
Seeing as how I use Google Voice for my voicemail and not sprint, I could care less about the regular voicemail app, but being able to get rid of the notification would be great.
Any help in trying to remove this annoying notification would be awesome.
Thanks!
Just delete the sprint vvm.apk from /system/ and that should do it.
I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried moving the vvm apk out from underneath after the download finishes and the install is about to start, and no joy. I still get "not installed."
Thoughts?
I'm guessing that I have to remove this file using something other than Astro? Keeps telling me that it can't delete files, looks like the permissiosn are read only, and I can't find a way to change the permissions.
You need to be rooted to write to system. Then you can use adb or root explorer.
Sent from my FROYO'D EVO using xda app
If you're using a custom ROM Sprint stuff may not update because the developer of your ROM signed it. Check for updates with your ROM developer (website or an update tool), most of the developers have already made their own VVM update from Sprint's release.
Just another hole to cover so we can't root, just a thought.
Same problem here. Renaming the .apk via adb then rebooting did the trick.
Guys, I figured this one out today.
I got the same "unable to install" message when I tried to install the new one. First thing I did, was uninstall the stock one using Titanium backup, but any method should work the same. Then rebooted the phone and tried the install again.
It went through with no problems. Check my sig for info, but I think this should work with any custom ROM.
Also, please note that I had a copy of the install file on my SD card and I accessed it via EStrongs file explorer. Again, I don't think it matters which file explorer you use, but having it on your SD card may be the key.
Edit: I used this link to get the file on my SD card:

Did you follow my previous post?
1) DL the file on the link I provided from another thread on here.
2) Mount your SD as disk drive and click and drag it onto your SD card.
3) Uninstall the current voicemail app on your phone (if you don't have Titanium backup paid version, you will need to use Astro or another app that can uninstall apps from the phone)
4) Reboot your phone.
5) Use a file explorer to find the zip file you put on your phone, and install it.
You should be good to go.

I followed these instructions step by step and I can get the voicemail app to load but it doesn't work. I don't get my messages, I hit the "check for updates" button and get a box that comes up and tells me there was a general error. I've updated my profile and my prl. Please let me know what I need to do to get this fixed. I'm on BS 1.5.
Thanks in Advance

Well, I am not an expert by any means. I can tell you that this worked for me the first time I tried it. By any chance, can you install the old version back on? Or, did you back-up your ROM in any way where you can go back to the way your phone was before you started so at least the old app is on there and working?
If not, hopefully someone can chime in who knows more on the subject.
easiest way of fixing this should be to use SteelH's flashable vvm update zip found on his rom thread here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
I think it works on any rom.

I did the following steps and still no go.
1. Flashed SteelH's zip.
2. Updated my profile.
3. Updated my prl.
4. Rebooted.
5. Called my cell and left two voicemails.
I never got a notitication and when I try to check for updates I get a general error. And when I hit the button to change my greeting, a box comes up saying it will connect me with my voicemail, but nothing ever happens.
I found an old version of the voicemail app and tried that and I get the same results. I must be doing something wrong or there is something wrong with my phone.
Any ideas for me to try, would be greatly apperciated.

Sorry - that link will only solve the issue in the OP - how to update to the latest version of vvm (v5.1.0.34), and get rid of notifications that a new version of vvm is available.
You're having a different issue - you're having an issue getting your message notifications. Can't help you with that one.
I just restored back to a version of BS 1.3 I backed up on Monday and my voicemail worked. But I got the voicemail upgrade message so I then flashed SteelH's voicemail zip and it now works perfect. I get my messages and notifications. Now I guess I try to load BS 1.5 again. But that'll wait until another day, I don't have the time now to completely wipe my phone and set it back up.
Thanks for the help.

no prob - and BS 1.5 includes the latest vvm too, so you won't need to use that zipfile again.
edit - just noticed you were on BS before all of this - I guess it was those other steps that messed things up for you.
I don't know what happened. I was working fine until I went to BS 1.5. When I went to BS 1.5 the notification to upgrade my voicemail was gone but my voicemail didn't work, that's when I started not getting my messages or notifications. And then I started trying to load different versions of the voicemail app and trying different things. But I agree with you, it's probably something I did while setting my phone back up after BS 1.5 and didn't know I did it.
Thanks again.

Hey man that worked like a charm!
Thanks!
I have a rooted Evo running Cyanogen 7. I also have Rom Manager installed. I would like to use The stock sprint VVM. I put the voicemail.zip that I obtained from one of the forums onto my sd card and attempted to flash in recovery and i got an error message stating that it aborted. So then I tried to flash via Rom Manager and I dont have the voicemail icon on my phone. Can someone help me please. I hope I posted this in the correct forum. Thanks
Voicemail.zip? Are you trying to flash it from recovery? Because what you need is the vvm.apk
I would post it for you but I'm not home....but I am sure you can find it via search....let me know if you need more help....
Thank you I will look for that file and get back with you. I really appreciate the response.
ok I got the VVM installed on my phone now. The problem I have now is that it is saying that I have a voicemail waiting but it cant be downloaded. Also I am getting that stupid 9016 text message as well.
The vm that can't be downloaded can be retrieved by dialing 1 from your dialer....you also want to go into call settings and change your vm # from *86 to your actual number....
As far as 9016, that is built into aosp ....you could blacklist that number with handcent, if you use it, however, I have noticed that handcent sometimes takes it upon itself to blacklist numbers you didn't choose.....so you may want to go into privacy and tap on show blacklist if you notice you aren't getting messages on occasion
ok so, i flashed the Blazer rom, and when i try to send a picture in a text message, i keep getting a unable to attach/ file not supported error, does anyone happen to know what is causing this error? any help is appreciated, thanks

Hmm...try clearing the data for sms in the manage applications menu under settings. If that doesn't work, try booting into recovery and run fix permissions.
Mi nuh tek intimidation...
This has happened to me before when flashing new roms too. If what was said above doesnt fix it go into settings, about phone, system updates and update profile and prl then reboot the phone.
HI, I recently had my sprint galaxy s3 flashed to metro pcs by a local phone dealer. The flash was great, I have 3g internet, sms, etc. I was also able to send and receive multi media messages but my lil brother accidentally deleted to the app that allowed me to send multi media messages. The name of the app is AndroidMessaging.apk, and now that I tried to re-install it, I get an error message saying, " Failed to validate phone, could not validate this phone's installation. Please bring the phone back to the dealer you had it flashed", and I am trying to see if there's is another way of fixing the problem without having to go to the dealer again. I also tried to fix the problem by downloading Go Sms Pro and i filled APN configuration manually but I still cant seem to send and receive mms. Please help me, Thank you. Would greatly appreciate the help.

Dont lose hope there is another way to get it with sqlite editor. Im still a nooby justa flashing stuff lol but ive read about that somewhere.
Any solutions guys?
Same problem as me. Is there anyone have a solution?

Missing toggles
You might try installing GToools 3.15 or 3.18, then down at the bottom choose to enable all notification toggles. Or you could also check this thread

Already tried, its a no go
afraid that didn't work either, but yes you need root. You can enable hotspot settings & i have done some changing the CSC contents to include call recording and etc. try this with thanks goin out to tiboric. You can do a search here and find out which page it is, but it's enabling hidden features
Same
Same problem here, any solutions yet?
Well theres gota be a way i see other model S6's on MM roms with a nice data toggle lol. I WILL ask the rom makers how they got those extra toggles
Hey guys.
Facing same problems in Canadian Galaxy S7 Edge. No Data toggle at all. Bought a quick panel setting with edge, Mobile Data toggle shows up there but unfortunately clicking it takes you to the Data Usage.
Contacted Samsung and they say that the Canadian S7 Edge does not have this feature and it cannot be fixed!! C'mon Samsung!!
XDA support please......
Have you tried this: http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/29...screen-for-your-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/
Not available for Canadian Galaxy store yet!

There is a direct download link in the article for the APK: http://www.sammobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GoodLock.rar
Download that compressed file and extract, install the APK.
I can't verify that it will work for you as I already have the toggle, but people did report that it worked.
I can't install this app on my Canadian S7 Edge.
It installs fine, phone reboots, new lock screen shows up but then it reboots back by itself with the old lock screen...
any solutions?
Though it pops up with saying "The device will restart" & there is no option but to click "okay". And then finally it reboots with old skin
