Where are the voicemails stored? How to keep voicemails when trying different Roms? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to keep my voicemails when I am trying out other roms. I have a Nand backup & when I restore to Fresh 03 (what I use the most) I have my voicemails. I am guessing they are located somewhere on the internal storage vs the SD card.
Is there a way to backup & restore those files as well? I would guess I could copy them from \voicemails (or where ever they are) to \sd\richtj99\data, then copy them back once I flashed?
Thanks
Rich

I can't believe I'm answering this... voicemail is flowing magically around you...
*you grab a colorful wave of sheer delight...
BEHOLD! I have flashed your phone so that it never loses its voicemail in a flash...
now its as if your voicemail stays in the network

Ok, I guess I will restate the question. My voicemails seem to be physically downloaded to my phone. When i reflash, all my old voicemails are gone. So when I try a new rom, I only have all new voicemails.
I am glad that voicemails flow all around you, but on my Evo, they dont repopulate as downloads.

Maybe its due to the visual voicemail?

I lol'd
best way is to get a GV account and the GV app and set up your phone for conditional forwarding(make GV your voicemail) and then they are all saved and transcribed when you get new ones.(it's like magic)

You can also email your voicemails to yourself in order to back them up.

Using ADB or any root file manager you can backup you voicemails below. I use root explorer instead of ADB because I usually flash my rom when I don't have a computer.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.coremobility.app.vnotes C:\com.coremobility.app.vnotes
Wipe and Flash your rom and
Code:
adb push C:\com.coremobility.app.vnotes /data/data/com.coremobility.app.vnotes
adb reboot recovery
Once you are in recovery do a fix uid permission and restart (fix uid permission should be in the other on the menu). If you do not complete step then when you restart your phone you will loose all your voicemails that you have restore. I hope this help you.
Edit: The fix uid permission is assuming you are using Amon_Ra's recovery for Evo.

Get Google Voice. Problem solved.

Come on now, that was not called for. He asked a legitimate question that I'm willing to bet a lot of the members may not know the answer to. That response was not helpful in the least and is counterproductive to the purpose of this site. In the future, for the sake of maintaining an atmosphere that is conducive to helping one another, please refrain from making such negative and demeaning posts. It is totally uncalled for, unnecessary, and unacceptable.

I would second using Google Voice. It integrates so well with Android it's almost a shame not to use it.

Visual voicemail stores them on your phone even if you delete them in the IVR prompts when calling. He wants to know what directory they are stored in. Good job making fun of somebody for not knowing something when you didn't know how it worked yourself.

EXACTLY!!! This forum is getting out of hand with some of the people's nasty attitudes. People are getting to be so quick to want to jump on someone for the slightest thing. I thought the OP asked a very good question yet even still he gets attacked for no reason. Guys, WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. Simply put, if you don't have anything nice/useful to say then don't say anything.

I agree with some people jumping in and giving comments that is not needed and does not even help the OP. I hope my first reply to him help him backup his voicemail as it does for me.

Everyone is thinking way too much about this one. Just use TB, problem solved. OP, look at the guide in my sig for more information.
Also, if you want to avoid some of the comments you received, post questions in the Q/A section. That is what it is for. Not saying those comments are justified...

Good, informative answer. Thanks, coderli.
I extracted my voicemails from a DATA backup and put them on my sdcard. You can leave the voicemails on the sdcard and play them using OI or Astro. You do lose the info on who it's from and when, but at least you have the audio.
As for the rest of you if you don't actually have the answer to the question, why are you even replying? (rhetorical)

I use YouMail. it's awesome. You can have a custom greeting for anyone (music, clips from shows, cartoons) and it shows the persons name (first and last, like caller ID does) if they are not in your contacts. Oh, and it also saves the voicemails on their servers so you can flash different roms and still keep all your voice mails. Only thing is it costs money to transcribe and the voicemails dont get to you right away sometimes.

Deleted Gtalk -- Easiest fix?

I uninstalled Google Talk (accidentally) via Titanium Backup. Obviously a decent screw up as it kills a lot of services without it.
I tried searching for a posted apk, but no luck. Tried extracting it from the roms used in toasts root method, but failed.
I'm an idiot. Flame away, but help, please.

You're not an idiot because you made a mistake...you're not an idiot period.
I removed it too and I just downloaded damage control, unzipped it, went through the folders, and grabbed gtalkservice.apk out of it, pushed it to my phone and voila...buttt I attached it for you anyhow...
Cheers, mate. I'll give it a shot now.
EDIT: ooo, I love you. If you're ever in Gainesville, FL, I'll buy you a beer. Just PM me! hah
This could be a stupid question but humor me please. What is google talk for??? I've set it up to not activate automaticly but it does anyways killing my battery. Is it needed?
It's a messaging app, like instant messenger type. I don't know if you can actually delete the apk without problems occurring. I wouldn't imagine it eats too much of your battery though.
GTalk as system service
I feel the same as the original poster.....like an idiot.
I deleted the GTalk application as I was not using it and was trying to free up more space. However, I started receiving the "com.google.process.gapps" error soon thereafter.
In looking through forums and the internet, it appears that is a very common error with many causes. However, having the android sdk, it was suggested to use adb to get a bugreport.
In looking at my bugreport, I saw a lot of references to calls to the GTalk service. It is an underlying system service and it appears used by other apps as well. For example, I noticed that my GMail was not syncing consistently and I found myself manually refreshing to get it to sync.
I also noted that almost without fail, when I installed new apps in the Marketplace, I would see the "com.google.process.gapps" error.
My recommendation: Keep GTalk on your phone!
i did the same thing.
What does it mean to push a file to your phone? I dragged into onto my sd card and it still is giving me errors in the marker and constantly syncing...
Help!
This may sound really dumb but how do i go about installing the apk file? it tells me that im not allowed to cuz Google talk isnt referenced in the android market
Google services on your phone rely heavily on GTalk, as you guys are seeing. Even if you don't use it you need to keep it if you want to use pretty much any google apps such as the market, gmail, etc.
To install just put the apk on your sdcard, navigate to it using your favorite file explorer and click on it. Your phone has an installer that will recognize the apk as such and ask you if you want to install it.
Because RavenII was kind enough to post the apk you guys should be able to do all of this right from your phones.
*edit- I don't think it will be a problem but if you are not rooted you might get hung up on the install... wait a second.. if you're not rooted then you wouldn't have been able to remove it in the first place haha
I uninstalled Gtalk and everything is still working fine on my Evo no problems here.

GVoice is awesome, I use it and love it so I'm curious why you got rid of it but NO, it is not critical to anything on your phone, you can get along just fine without it.
If you were using gvioce and now you are not then you need to be sure you've done the following:
-Dial *38 and hit send. The call will drop and your gvoice line will be disassociated with your phone
-Under menu>settings>call_settings>voicemail_service make sure it is set to "my carrier"
-Under menu>settings>call_settings>voicemail_settings make sure your Voicemail number is set to your cellphone number
That should get you up and running.
I will offer this: I don't know what caused you to decide not to use gvoice but I had tons of problems with my Sprint voicemail service interfering with gvoice. I called Sprint and had them actually remove voicemail service from my account. GVoice has been flawless since then.
Looks like a spoke too soon. Sync keeps getting stuck at the google contacts part, gives me an error saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly."
Anybody know what gtalk (or any other critial programs) has to do with this?

lol, I almost posted that you must have some special setp because you would be the first.. but I didn't want to sound like an a-hole..
I don't know specifically what it is in gtalk that maintains google services, it's probably the program they use to maintain the google accounts database..
Correct me if im wrong, but I thought there was a thread that confirmed that in froyo Gtalk isn't really necessary in order for all the other Gapps to run correctly. I know for sure I don't have Gtalk installed and everything is working fine in my Evo.

How do I forward calls to my google voice number? My carrier is google voice and my voice mail number is my google voice number. If you call my phone number it doesnt forward to google voice voice mail. However if you call my google voice mail number and leave me a voice mail I get a Gvoice message. So its working so why not stick with it. I originaly didnt want to use it because i had to sign in and I didnt want it wasting battery lol.
Edit; Never mind I think i was expecting the wrong number to forward lol its working. I guess this means I will have to give everyone my google voice number now. I was kinda hoping I could forward my number to my google voice number. Or can I after typing this edit I confused my self great lol.
Off-topic.
I got fed up and reflashed DC3.5.

Voicemail and data wipe

I tried searching for a while and couldn't find an answer, but because I like trying different roms one of the more frustrating items is losing messages and voicemails.
If I am using titanium backup, what should I be backing up? I tried backing up the voicemail, sms, accounts system setting but that did not work.
Alternatively, is there a way to have voicemail app to scan undeleted voicemails on my account.
For the record, the roms I am using is EVOi and Fresh.
Bump for any input
bump again. i myself am about to wipe and install a ROM for the first time but worried about losing my 70+ voicemails and SMS. if there is a way to ensure this was backed up it would be phenomenal
I don't know the answer to this, but was just searching myself to try to find out. I lost all my VMs when I first wiped/rooted, and I won't wipe again until I can save and restore them.
If anyone has an answer, I'd also be grateful.
Sorry to bump again. I don't mean to sound demanding, but I can't believe nobody has any answer for this. Losing all your visual voicemail files seems like a big thing.
Is this really an unsolved problem? Can someone at least confirm that?

I've been searching to find out about this myself.
Usually, I don't have that many and I just write them down and figure they're lost.
But I've got a bunch right now and I'd like to keep them.
We have a method to backup apps- there must be a way to save these vms that I know are stored on the EVO somewhere. I remember seeing them when I was browsing for something else one day, but for the life of me, I can't find them. And there has to be a file somewhere that would allow them to show up in the VM list after a ROM flash. It just can't be that difficult.
Can it?

Sprint Visual Voice mail for CyanogenMod10

All,
No credit here- I just wanted to let all of those looking for Visual Voice Mail for CM10 or other AOSP roms I have tested this on L710 SGS3 for Sprint and it does work. I tried it on CM10 nightly 8/20.
http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I didnt find a thread on this so sorry if its already out there. just dwnload the Zip and flash in CWM. Some say it doesnt work in other recoveries such as TWRP. I used CWM.
you can hit thanks if you want but I did not make this... I just braved it and reported it. VVM is very important to me. Only reason to keep sprint.
enjoy
Wow, this is one of the main reasons why I stayed away from CM rom in the past. I can't live without VVM... can't stand wasting 20mins sifting thru audio voicemails with a pen and paper.
Will it update to the new version or are we stuck with the version that gets flashed? VVM just had an update in the past few weeks, i think i'm on the latest which is 5.3.0.32.
I had visual voice mail with cm10 by just making a titanium backup of it from a rom that had it, then restoring when I ran cm10.

You never had to. Google voice provides a better voicemail if you ask me. And to the folks that dont like the deep integration, you can break the tie-in and just use it for the voicemail.
But yeah... VVM is good too. I just have fewer issues with google voice.
I need the "call record" app.
There's an app section for that

No offense but, Google voice is crap IMO. Or at least it was crap a year ago. That's what I tried to use when I was on cm7 on the epic. I hated it. Vvm is well worth the 2$ a month to me. I run a business with this phone, it's gotta be reliable. Like I said it's been a year since I last tried it, but the impression it left was a disaster to my business for an entire week.

You should give Google Voice another try. Make sure you set it up from a PC.
I also run a busniess from my phone and the option for different contacts to hear a different voicemail greeting is worth the price of admission on its own.
I have my main voicemail greeting set up as my business name and then I have a different voicemail greetings for my personal contacts.
I can login to any PC and retrieve my voice mail, no phone needed. I'm not sure if Sprint VVM does that or not.
I honestly would not be able to run my business without Google Voice.

Wow guys... Ok heres the skinny. I did a TB but the backup was not there after CM10. IDK y im working on it.
#2 I tried installing .apk- didnt work, kept saying your acct cannot be verified. Thats because the supporting files are not in place in AOSP- this is the way it has been since AOSP, so idk what he's talking about.
# 3 yes it did update.
#4 Google voice is horrible- I have tried it multiple times I always get beeps in the middle of my calls and the transcriptions are terrible, best part of google voice is missed call notifications even when you didnt get the call.
Now This is a Sprint VVM thread please keep it that way and if you want to run your mouth about something else then go somewhere else. Also dont need info about other apps or whatever-
Contribute or just keep moving...
I wanted to thank ya'll for posting this. Great stuff.
Just some observations...
This is the second-to-latest Sprint Visual Voicemail application. It works well, is stable, and I love it on Paranoid Android 1.9.9
Just a note - if you're worried that upgrading to this will delete your current store of voice mail files, it will not. If all you're doing is *flashing* this on an already-rooted ROM using CMW 5.0+, you're going to be okay. I played around with it earlier today. No problems whatsoever, all stable, no SNAFUS. I don't know why some people have reported issues.
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN
Does this give the weird text every time you get a voicemail like all the other CM's?
Cm flashers are always pushing Google voice, but I find it to be extremely inconvenient and complicated and the voice to text translations are horrible. VVM is the only way to fly in my opinion. I'm getting the 9016 text thing on freegs3 now, but it doesn't bother me. It's just another notification. I just delete the thread after a while. I've been flashing so much lately that the text notification actually caught a few messages while I was flashing.

This should be in themes and apps not development. Especially since you didn't make it. Plus there is already a thread on themes apps with I believe the same vvm.
I know you're trying to contribute but please post in the right place.

Yes i do still get the annoying texts.
Then maybe someone needs to work on the search function. I searched before posting so w/e dude. I pit it in development because you have to flash in recovery. This isn't just an apk

Incorrect. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE PLEASE USE THE SEARCH feature built into the xda forums. These text messages have been around since CM6, its how AOSP works. The only way to remove them is use chompsms, gosms, or something similar to block the 9016 text messages.
There is an APK in the Apps and Themes section here, install that, reboot to recovery, fix permissions, reboot phone, open vvm app, send 25 second message to [email protected] and it will provision and work. I have never had a single problem getting VVM to work since CM6 following these steps.

text forwarding

Ok this may be in the wrong section but I apologize, My wife has a Samsung Fascinate and I just rooted it put JB cm10 on it. I'm not sure why she is doing it but she is erasing her texts from a guy we know. yeah not cool right. Anyway is there a way I can see those texts before or after she erases them, I am the account owner on the phone as well. I just want to know why they are being erased from just him and the acount usage shows they clearly are texting all day.
This is the wrong forum, use your phones forums. Your wife is also probably cheating on you since she clearly has something to hide.
I'm not sure of a forwarding app, but something like sms backup+ will backup sms to email so you can see them there.

Yeah. You don't want to accuse her of cheating on you, or treat her like she is. It could be something else. I know that there probably isn't any relationship advice on xda, lol, but you really should just talk to her and ask her what's up. Tell her what's on your mind. I wish you the best of luck.

Google Voice

Not sure where to put this, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong area here.
I can't find anything regarding this issue on XDA. I feel like it has probably been addressed, but where, I don't know.
Since to Google Voice update, myself and others are not able to make outgoing calls using GV. This seems unique to HTC devices, M8, M9, 10. Verizon users get a "Network busy message" when dialing out. Sprint users, like myself, are getting "your number can not be completed as dialed".
Some Verizon users have been able to fix the issue by enabling or disabling advanced calling. As Sprint users, we do not have this option. Another Verizon user (M8 NuSense) was able to fix the issue by clearing data in the phone app.
This issue seems to be that with the update, GV is appending +1 to the outgoing call. When rolling back to the previous version, all is well again. This isn't a ROM specific issue, but I'm on Leedroids latest.
Google Voice help forums have been zero help to us. Someone suggested the downgrade and our issue was marked as solved. Ha, far from.
Is anyone here using the upgraded GV app? Is this a known issue? I don't suppose there is a current fix, so if nothing else, I am hoping to spread awareness. But like I said, I'm sure it's been addressed, I just can not find it. Maybe someone can just point me to the correct thread?
Thanks guys.

Since to Google Voice update, myself and others are not able to make outgoing calls using GV. This seems unique to HTC devices, M8, M9, 10. Verizon users get a "Network busy message" when dialing out. Sprint users, like myself, are getting "your number can not be completed as dialed".
Some Verizon users have been able to fix the issue by enabling or disabling advanced calling. As Sprint users, we do not have this option. Another Verizon user (M8 NuSense) was able to fix the issue by clearing data in the phone app.
This issue seems to be that with the update, GV is appending +1 to the outgoing call. When rolling back to the previous version, all is well again. This isn't a ROM specific issue, but I'm on Leedroids latest.
Google Voice help forums have been zero help to us. Someone suggested the downgrade and our issue was marked as solved. Ha, far from.
Is anyone here using the upgraded GV app? Is this a known issue? I don't suppose there is a current fix, so if nothing else, I am hoping to spread awareness. But like I said, I'm sure it's been addressed, I just can not find it. Maybe someone can just point me to the correct thread?
Thanks guys.

I haven't personally tried or used this feature but if you can fix it by rolling back then why not do just that?
There may be an edit that can be made for the newer version to reflect the older version but I'm assuming you would be better reverting back to the old version for an easier solution.
Stop updates from going automatically. I do this anyway, nothing ceases to function.
Sorry this doesn't fix the actual issue but it's a sold workaround unless there's a reason for not wanting to revert back?

Rolling back is my current workaround, and I've disabled updates. As one who despises Hangouts, and greatly values GV, when the update dropped I was thrilled. The revamped UI is Also-ish and blows Hangouts UI out of the water. I'd much prefer to send SMS via the new GV app vs Hangouts. GV is my primary number and having to rely on Hangouts to send GV SMS hasn't been reliable. Half the time it won't notify my of new messages unless I completely back out of the app. I find myself double checking my phone often to make sure I've closed out the Hangouts.
I would imagine many users here are well aware and make use of the benefits of GV, so more than anything I wanted to bring attention to the issue, not so much expecting to find an answer. Also curious to see if anyone has NOT run into the issue.

Don't use GV for anything other than searching myself, unlimited texts and calls from my provider so i have no need?
What about one of the modders like team black out? They may have a modded version of the newer ones? They've got a thread on XDA (just search for it)
I use their google app and pixel launcher to have it all blacked out.
Sorry can't be of more help mate

What exactly do you mean by "calls from your provider"?

Yes, your assumption is correct. GV app > make all calls using GV. That is what is not working for me with the update. Is it working for you?

No I don't use it. I'm with EE in the UK. I have unlimited calls and texts. 10GB of data.. So I don't need it.
Afaik I can't use it here anyway.

I use it simply because I can send SMS from all devices, and I can switch providers and not care about my number. Just moved across country, went with a new provider (unlimited everything), and could care less what number they assigned me. I don't even know it lol
*AND visual voicemail

Haha Honestly, no. Not used to someone trying to be so helpful.
I found the issue to be that the ROM I was on, while it supported Sprint, carrier specific settings have not been implemented. I found this out while searching how to do a profile update. To do so, I had to flash a carrier specific ROM. Once I did that, GV worked, as well as profile update. Looks like the next update to Leedroid is slated to have these options.
Keeping my eye on that linked thread, though. I themed GV would be sweet. Thanx buddy.

One last question, unrelated, is TWRP currently able to do nandroids? I've read mixed things regarding the encrypted data partition on the 10.
