Many have had issues with their visual voicemail apps disappearing, and not available in Market. Thanks to the folks below for providing the APKs for manual install.
2 Versions attached.
tmo-vm-1.0.12.apk - props to bmozaffari
tmo-vm-1.2.19.apk - props to chewy106
There was an app update available, and after the update the original icon on the screen didn't work but was still there, I had to use the icon in the drawer.
I heave an update available in the market but get an error when I try to d/l. I also don't have the icon in my app drawer.
Sent from my DETHFONE (G2)
initially i had to download it from the market to even have access to visual voicemail cuz it wasn't already on my phone by default.
in the market, look under the t-mobile tab at the very bottom. there's 2 other T-mo apps avail. caller tunes & something else.
and after the update i was able to activate Visual Voicemail from within the drawer.
and just as an FYI, here's how Visual Voicemail looks after the UPDATE:
That sure looks nice. Wish I could update mine. I went and looke in T-mobile tab and all I saw was caller tunes, ringtones, and my account. Tried to update mine again and it said my request could not be found. Then I tried to uninstall it and that force closed the market. Guess ill just have to stick with the original for now.

Can someone please post the .apk? It doesn't show in market for me at all.

sorry for the late response.
i'm down to post the APK file.
anybody care to instruct me on how to do it from my phone with no desktop interface?
i have:
~temp-root
~gScript Lite
~root explorer
~android terminal emulator
I don't know how, but I would love it when you figure out how to do it.
I'm on my second G2. First one rebooted all the time...hung on the 2 screen.
Second one incoming and outgoing calls are silent...great when someone I don't want to talk to calls, but not so great when an important call is coming in.
Guess I will have to go back to the G1.

i used 'backup for root users' to do this on my MT3G, i'd hope it should work for this too.
t-mobile visual voicemail
I myself came here looking to find out what was up with the update... For those of you who don't have any version of the app, it's attached to my message here. I got an update notification and also get a "not found" error when I click on it in the Market.
My G2 didn't even include Visual Voicemail. However, I did already load up the .apk
i heard there was some issues with vvm, so that is why it was taken off the market. my original pre order g2 had vvm. but since i got my replacement it did not come with it and i try looking for it in market but nothing. =(
thanks for the upload...i'll try to see if i can install it.
I use YouMail. A lot nicer IMHO
looks like it works...but i want the new version...not sure how to get that one.
Newest VVM
Attached.
If it returns "unauthorized" errors, make sure the Visual Voicemail provisioning is on your line (it's free). Seems to be working fine on my 3rd G2, though it lost one of my 2 previous saved messages from before I returned the 2nd one earlier today. Though the update says it will delete all old messages, so keeping one of the two is a bonus I guess
I wondered what happened to the VVM app too. Couldn't find it on the Market.
Finally just gave up and signed up for Google Voice on my G2 and have been getting my voicemails that way along with the transcripts.
I'd like to go back and try the VVM app from TMo though for comparison.
I wanna throw this out there, and see if this would be useful to anyone besides me.
I use my Google Voice number as my primary number. I don't even give out my main cell. So, all of my SMS' go through GV. I also text a lot from my laptop.. cuz it's easier. I know this isn't the case for everyone, and that's why I'm posting.
Granted, the Google Voice app has recently gotten a lot better, but it's got a ways to go.
I use Handcent because I like the customization options, e.g. personalized notification sounds, notif bar icons, popups, colors, etc. I also keep a nice backlog of texts since they're searchable.
But most of my SMS logs (on handcent) consist of responses, and not my messages, whereas the Google Voice app or webpage contains the complete logs. I don't know if the messages could be scraped, and pretty sure there's not an API available (and I'm def not a developer anyway), but curious if there is an "app for this", or if this would be useful to anyone.
Basically yielding:
Accurate conversation (sms) threads in Handcent or native sms app, as well as easier backup system (for Google Voice SMS, at least).
Tangent:
In fact, I'm not sure why Google wouldn't want to give the capability to sync ALL of your SMS' to google voice.
k. hope this doesn't get moved to General land.

ya, I've been looking since the days of WinMo 6.1..
I was just about to make a thread about this. I'm willing to make a app that does this, but I don't know the file structure of where google does things.
If you download the Google Voice App, you can see that some where they store all the SMS data about a txt, they just don't expose that to the user through the web interface.
My idea is to take the Google Voice SMS DB, convert it to the XML format supported by SMS Backup & restore and then merge the 2.
If this app existed or I could make it, I would be able to send through the web-interface and my ipad, etc. Now I don't cause when people reply and I'm at my phone, I have no clue what they are talking about.

actually, I'm going to make a thread in the dev-section about this.
I wouldn't post in the ddevsection. Its against the rules, as it doesn't belong in there.

Too late I guess... but where on this site would a developer ask a question?
General or Q&A. or pm someone specifically

well, I hope someone moves it then.
Just go to Google Voice, Settings, Syncs and Notifications, Receive text messages, Also via the messaging app. Now you'll get all you're messages through the stock messaging app or Handcent or whatever else you use.
In correct. Go to https://www.google.com/voice and send a SMS and then check your phone to see if that sms that you just sent is on your phone.
You will find that it isnt.

Are you referring to me? I have Google Voice fully integrated and only use Handcent to text, not Google Voice. So I'll find that the text is on my phone like the other hundreds of texts I receive daily.

yes and that misses the whole point of this request.
I (and the OP) want to be able to use the web/iOS/etc... to sent/receive SMS via Google Voice. If you do that now, the replies show up in your native app/handsent, but your txt out are only in google voice.
I want to be able to txt from my iPad through my gv# and when I go back to my android phone, I can follow the convos. Also, they would get backed up with SMS Backup+

Oh oh oh, I misread. Yes, I don't think there is a way around this.
im also very interested in this. i text all day on my comp using gv and if i try to go back and read a convo with go sms i only se received texts and not mine.
if u are willing to just turn on 3g and open the gv app, however, u can view the convo in its entirety. still would be nice to do this without having to enable data.

Why wouldn't desk sms work from your iPad? All it's doing is forwarding stuff to gmail.

the only missing piece here with GVI is that when you send through GV, you don't get the sent messages back on your phone. The only solution that I've been able to come up with to fix this is an app that syncs between the native GVapp and the native SMS app.
there has to be a db on the phone that stores GV data for the GVapp. If someone could find that for me, that would be just swell.
Anyone ever find a resolution to this?
Does anyone know if the quick responses feature works with google voice text. I don't have SMS plan. So it would be super useful to have that feature. I have google voice installed. But I don't see any setting for that.
If it's like other functions (at least on gingerbread), like voice actions, it will ask you what you want to use to send the text when you use the feature, and you can choose GV as default there.
I don't have a GN to confirm this, so this is only an educated guess.
I posted a question about this the other day. It does not look like there is an intent for this.
When I tested this, the reply came from my cell phone number, not my google voice number. There IS an intent for "send text..." in Voice Actions but doesn't look like for this. I hope there's a fix!
Maybe a dev can take up creating one?
Back with my Samsung Galaxy S II, I had loaded an MIUI rom and used their five-points lock screen - one of the short cuts was for the SMS app. Someone had created an APK that I installed, that after installation, when I went to the SMS shortcut, up popped up an intent asking if I wanted the Messages or Google Voice app. I wish I had the know-how to do something like this!
Is there any way for us to get this to work with google voice? I want it bad!
Did anyone get this figured out?
I'm using ICS on a captivate and use GV for everything. I would really like to get this working so I can use the quick responses.
I'd really like to see this fixed/added too. After searching, I really only saw these two other forums tracking it and wasn't sure if there are other places I should be raising my hand. I can confirm that it's the only part of the OS that I've come across that does not let me choose Google Voice instead of the native phone or messenger.
(just found out I can't link as a first time member...)
rough web address: google code android issues #23176
rough web address: google code android issues #23442
Is this something that would likely pop up as an update to ICS? Is this something that would likely require loading an entirely different ROM? Are those questions even appropriately constructed (new to android)?
I made an app a few months back that let you share some text... one of the frequently referenced intents in Android documentation would only send to Messaging (show you the messaging app with the text pre-filled in) and not GV..
Another, less publicized intent let you "Share" with all kinds of applications. This was the only one that would prefill GV and Messaging (and email and tons of other apps). But again, it was an intent that would open the apps pre-filled, not send it.
Another thing that could be done in the app was to just send a text from within the app.. The user never sees the messaging or any other app and the text is sent. This is obviously can only work through native SMS not GV. (For this, an app that uses this feature needs the SMS permission)
--
I haven't done the quick responses yet, but I assume they send the text without taking you to an app, so that's not an intent that's sending a message through the OS, and impossible with GV. Again, I haven't looked at Quick Responses, so I don't know if this is how it behaves.
Please Star the issue on Google Code to get Google's attention!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23176
Also - disregard my last comment. The intent to send through GV already exists, they just need to call the right intent in the dialer app / quick response. This fix would literally take them 5 minutes to do. Star it to get higher priority on the issue!

Hello all,
I have an issue that I no is not unique, so hopefully someone can help me out here. I need a messaging app that is compatible with the group messaging that is in iOS 5 (iMessage). My gf has an iPhone 4s and regularly creates group messages, which get very annoying for me because I cannot follow the conversation or provide my input, unless i decipher the individual messages and respond to everyone in the group individually. I have tried Handcent SMS (my daily driver), Go SMS Pro, Chomp SMS, and the stock messaging app. None of them seem to replicate it.
There are a few others that I have found through my endless searching such as WhatsApp, but that requires everyone to be using that same app. This wouldnt be an issue for me, except for the fact that getting these people to not use the apple based product is literally impossible.
I have found that verizon messages does actually work with this functionality. Atleast, from reading the comments.
(Due to not having enough posts, I cannot link to the Verizon Messages App on the Android Market)
It doesnt say it is compatable with the Galaxy Nexus, but at one point and time some people managed to get it installed and say that its working fine. I have searched for the .apk to no avail. If anyone has the .apk or a link to it, that would be very helpful. If not, then any other suggestions in getting this functionality would be greatly appreciated.
For reference: My CDMA GNex is running: CND 1.3.2, Franco-v16, w/ full 4.0.4 CDMA/LTE radios. Thanks in advance!
Best,
RC3
Don't think you'll ever get an app that's compatible with iMessage. That's proprietary Apple code that's only in the iPhone.
Seems as though there is a method, it was posted in my similar thread on rootzwiki. I cannot link to it, but it is in the rootzwiki forums under CDMA Galaxy Nexus with the same title as this thread. Thanks!
I know this should go in apps/themes but will probably get most visibility here, plus this thread will die quick enough anyways. Mods, move it if you want, not that you need my permission.
LANDING PAGE
PLAY STORE LINK :highfive:
Hangouts replaces Talk.
Also, the Search (Now), Maps, & Music updates are avaiable.
The Chrome version is there and pops up a window overlay
Anyone know if SMS is part of it? Seems silly for it not to be, but doesn't look like it's part of it. So not actually unified messaging yet.

Just installed it, and people's numbers are listed. What happens if I send a message to one? Bearing in mind that Google Voice doesn't yet exist in the UK!
Really does seem like an huge gap. They talked about getting technology out of the way so you can get on with communication, but I still have two apps to send messages and pictures to other people!
deleted, repeat message

It verified my # first?. But didnt migrate my sms list and the hangout message I sent didnt show in sms. I agree it would be cool if that was a feature, maybe in the future.
Didnt want to make a new thread for this but since we are talking about apps and stuff announced at Google I/O. New updates for Google Play music and Google search are in the play store. Google Play Music looks COMPLETELY different.
It tried to verify my number, but I think that's a WhatsApp style link for others to find you.
However, my SIM reports my number as something else entirely because I ported a number over. So it couldn't verify me. Trying to talk to my network now, they're not answering...

I like the improvements too! I figured as much of a hot topic as Hangouts has been I might as well post the thread just in case someone forgot what today is lol. Like I said in the OP, I'm expecting it to die quickly - just a friendly PSA. But you are correct, probably didn't warrant a new thread but I've seen worse.

Mine said it was going to send a sms, but I never received one, instead I received a notification that my # was verified.
Yeah, but the number my SIM reports is not my phone number, and Hangouts picked up the number from the SIM! Trying to get the network to reset it...
When I open up the play store link, it says installed but when I open it, Google Talk opens up...any ideas?

This is transitioning Talk into Hangouts so it may take a little time for everything to line up. At first I was being directed to "Hangouts (replaces Talk)" that just said "open" on my device, and it looked like Talk. But then, after a dozen impatient refreshes, "open" changed to "update". Now Talk is labeled Hangout and has the new UI, but the icon is still Talk. Messages I am sending in Hangout on my phone are appearing in Talk in gmail on my comp right now.

In my phone I have the Hangout installed now, even started a group conversation, but still getting the old Talk interface in chrome, hence not seeing group messages, and not getting either the new emoticons, nor the new interface, nor the smileys, even when I click the new Hangout button in the toolbar. Maybe it will be implemented after some time in the future

If you are using a ROM where Talk is one of the system apps, you may need to uninstall it. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then downloaded Hangouts from the Play Store.

If I'm understanding you right, you're trying to access Hangouts via the Gmail web interface. The Chrome Hangouts plugin does NOT replace the Talk box in Gmail. It adds an extra app, which is accessed by clicking the Hangouts icon on your Chrome toolbar.
The Gmail web interface will be rolled out later and will be upgraded from within Gmail itself.
