Hey guys!
I have browsed through many threads about getting Sprint's VVM to work on Cyanogenmod, and I can't get it to work.
I've installed two different versions of the program, got the text messages from 9016 saying that it was successful, changed the *86 to my phone number, (with and without the *), and cannot get it to work. AND, Google's VM doesn't work either.
Do you guys have any input? I need this to work, and I'm having a heck of a time!
Thanks!!!
Anybody know? I still haven't been able to figure out how to fix this, and have been missing many calls while at work, and not getting any voicemails!
Good luck on getting an answer. It would be real nice if some one could start a thread on how to do this.
The answers are buried in THOUSANDS of posts throughout the CM threads.
For those of you all that respond with "just use Google voice"... some of use don't like Google Voice.

I have it working on CM6 Final. I flashed SPRINT_VVM-signed.zip and installed Sprint_VVM.apk and it worked fine for me. I still get the text notification, but the Voicemail app still works like it should. I know that I can block the texts from appearing, but they haven't bothered me enough to do so. I am attaching the files I used, I hope they help.
Sorry couldn't help ya, I had both VVM and GV working before settling on GV.
I simply cannot get Sprint's VVM to work. Nothing worked.
I finally got Google Voicemail to work though! I've been trying to get this to run on my Hero since last year!!!
I like it, and it WORKS... So that's good enough for me!

OK I know this has been brought up a few times in the CM threads. I get this ghost VM notification on CM6 and on all the nightlys. I also am getting this ghost VM notification on the MIUI rom. I do NOT get this notification on ANY sense ROMs I have tried.
I read this Forum everyday as much as I can. I have tried search. Every thing that comes up close to what I have going on doesn't seem to get fully answered as to why this is coming up on some phones and not others.
I flashed CM6 and a few nightlys on my Wifes phone and She has NEVER received the *86 VM notification.
I am always updated to the most current PRL, PRI and NV. Nothing I have tried will clear this message. On the CM6 ROM I can hit the clear button under the notification bar and that clears it for a little while but then the damn thing comes back.
Can anyone explain this and offer up a FIX. I know I'm not the only one.
Any one have any help on this?

I guess I'm in the club also. Same problem when I was on Vaelpak. Flashed back to stock, rooted, for a while. Now on Fresh.

Thank you Brutus for the input.
I know all about that part of the set-up. This DOES NOT get rid of the Ghost notification. I still will get a notification that I have a voice mail (and YES I have checked to make sure my VM's are cleared out).
Just FYI I use google voice when I am on CM6 or nightlys. Google Voice works great but still will not clear the VM notification.

Dont skip my post I am going to say two diffrent things . First normaly you get the notification because you received a voicemail. The stock rom has a code writen in to block that text so that you dont see the notification when you receive a voicemail.
Now Jetdr I will try to answer your question here. I think your voicemail hasnt been provisioned. Click on your VVM app and hit menu, when you hit menu you should have 3 options, compose, search and settings. If you have a 4th option that says unsent or undelivered click it. When VVM sets up, it automaticly sends a voicemail to the server to setup your VVM. If that message doesnt get sent then it probably never will. You will have to uninstall the VVM.Apk and reinstall the app. One time when I was setting up CM6 I had to install the voicemail apk several times before I got it to provision correctly. If it doesn provision a minute or two after you install it then its not going to. Not sure if this is whats causing your ghost voicemail text but I am thinking this is it. The easiest way to tell is to just click the vvm app and see if it shows four options or three. It should only show three.
If you are using google voice you dont still have the sprint VVM installed do you? If you dont have the sprint VVM installed then I am not sure whats causing your issue considering my directions to fix your issue is in regardes to the sprint vvm app.
Hope that helps.
I've tried all that and more.... nothing fixes it. I've concidered calling sprint but don't want to ruin my insurance..

Twilk... thanks so much for the response. I did all you suggested and I flashed back over to the newest MIUI ROM and I still have the VM notification. I made sure I didn't have any voice mails before I flashed. The notification will not clear even with the settings selected to not show.
Initially it has the *86 number but when I change the VM settings to my number it of course then comes up in the drop down box with my number.
The same thing happens on CM ROMs.

My notification says 4 voicemails... so I'm wondering if when I rooted my phone I had voicemails.. I don't really listen to my voicemails.. i'd rather just receive a text from someone... I just wish that I had made sure to clear my box before I rooted.. not sure if this is the reason for it... but it doesn't seem like there are many users with this problem. I'm sort of anti-twitter or I would ask cyanogen myself.. this is soo annoying! Especially since I hate voice mail to begin with.. I don't read my bills much, but I think sprint charges for voicemail.. anyway I can cancel my voicemail service? Also they charge me to keep a spending limit.. I want to call sprint and ask to cancel my voicemail..

Updates ???
Feb 3 - 2011
Anybody ever figure this one. Or do we just clear the message on each reboot?
Clear dalv. and cache,then change *86 to your mobile number then block 9016 from your sprint account.I added youmail and mine works perfect.I get txt and VM very quick.If the person that left you the voice mail is in your contacts it will show them as leaving the VM and you can just tap on there pic and it will play the ones they left you.
And I have no phantom notifications or anything odd.

I've never tried it before, but I've heard good things about Youmail. I like Google voice, but it seems like a lot of others also like youmail, so give it a shot and see if its what you're looking for. Should be available in the market.

In the settings menu, did you put your device's phone number in the slot for the voicemail number? If not, do so.

hey doug...just erased the *86 from it and put my phone # but still same thing... any other ideas? also any way i can clear the sprint VMM thing its just up on top status bar even if i dont have any messages
Go to Menu-Settings-Call settings. Under Voicemail Service, select "my carrier" and underneath it, select "voicemail settings" and then type in your phone number without any parenthesis or hyphens. That *should* work for you. It does for me. As for the Sprint VVM, I don't use it. As a matter of fact, I delete it from the /system/app folder using a system level file manager like Root Explorer.

hey doug... thanks for getting back.. i have done that and still same thing... now if i dial the voicemail app it lets me check it but i dont get notifications as to me having voicemail... and if i go in to check i get another text as if i got something even though its empty
I went all day last night with no texts and then today with none at all. Finally I had my friend text me, and I never received the text. I can text him, and he will get it, but I cannot receive his. Mobile data works and I can make calls fine. Any ideas?

*Bump*
I hate to double post, but if someone could honestly give me an idea as to what they think may be going on, that would be awesome. I called Sprint and talked to their customer care people and the best they gave me was to come into the store and get a hard reset.
I have changed from the CM7 ROM to Synergy to see if that was the issue, and it didn't change anything. I flashed the combination ZIP of everything from this thread and nothing has seemed to work.
My friend has an HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon and I am using his phone to try to fix mine. I can send a text to him and him receive it instantly. I can send texts from his phone to mine, see the 3G data bars go nuts and then absolutely nothing happens.
The customer care reps for Sprint sent me a "Test" text from their system to see if I would receive it, and nothing happened.
I'm completely lost on the issue, and texting is a rather big part of what I do on my phone, so I would really enjoy having it back up and running. It was working fine before yesterday.
The only thing I can remember changing on my phone was the RAM optimization script posted. I flashed it to see how it would work, but that is the only thing I can remember changing.
If any of you have a clue, please fill me in. Much appreciated.
Do you have your phone number integrated with google voice?

Edit: Logged into Google Voice and found that it had all of my texts on there.. Enable the feature for it to send them to my phone as well, and everything is working fine now. A solid day of flashing/rebooting and searching and it was Google Voice... *Sigh*
Thanks for the help guys.
Hello,
New to the GN, I was wondering if anyone managed to successfully put Sprint's VVM on their GN?
I never noticed it's not available on the Market til now.
Why not just use Google Voice? I hate it!
I can't even tell you how many times that freakin app would just automatically disregard my calls altogether by sending them to VM OR forward me the caller on their 4+ ring....by the time I answered the call (on 'my' first or second ring) they were hanging up. This happened even after it first time I noticed it was going on and fixed the settings online on my pc (cuz it wont let you do it on the app). I had this issue at least 3x so I'm done with that app.
Thnx!
Am I the only person who wants Sprints VVM on my GN?
NO! It's one of the features I miss coming from my EVO & CM7. I had gotten so used to it, never gave it any thought that it wouldn't be on the new phone. I need some VVM app!
I'm also coming from the original Evo.......I always used VVM but actually liked Google Voice, at first, thought it was neat having a back up log of my text messages and calls available online. Unbeknownst to me though I was missing a LOT of calls and picking up late even though it was only ringing once or twice at my end. I use my phone for work so it became a problem, once I linked the problem to Voice, I got rid of it. Mind you, deleting the app doesn't do squat to the settings, so the problem continues til you DELETE the association to your number online.
I never had any problems with Sprint's VVM and I want it back!
I don't know if copying the VVM apk will work and I'd rather not fudge up this new phone so I'm here asking if anyone else has tried it?!?!?
I am a noob to posting but not new to reading this forum nor rooting.
I have an EVO 4G and just flashed AOKP build 33 with GAPPS 3-17.
I have Google Voice installed and have used it with no problems for almost a year now.
Just yesterday when I flashed AOKP build 33 my phone quit receiving text messages. I still receive them on my Google Voice account on my phone and on the computer.
GV is set to have my text messages go through my text client and my text client is set to the default messaging app.
I have tried flashing to recovery nandroids of previous Roms and states of Roms and that did not solve my problem.
I didn't see anyone at the AOKP thread who has had the same problem.
What can I do? Please help.
*apologies for posting this if there is a better place for it to go but after making it through all of the results on my searches about this with no solution I am extremely frustrated and need a solution.
Have you tried uninstalling GV to see if that solves the problem? My phone did the same thing for a while with google voice and I never understood why, but uninstalling GV took care of my issues. You will probably get the text messages a few hours to a few days late, or at least that is what happened to me

So do I need to do more than just uninstall and re-install the app? i.e. the whole thing with un-linking my number and voicemail and everything?
If you uninstall it, I def would suggest doing the full uninstall procedure,..the unlinking, etc.

Giving it a shot now. Thanks.
I'm worried though, without GV I will have no option for text messages.
How's that? What did I miss? You don't have a stock messaging app, or you don't have a sprint phone #?

no dice
I disabled my GV account and un-linked it from my number, restarted and still no incoming texts. Any other ideas?
Make sure somehow you have the latest radios and such maybe? Have someone text you again now that its all undone and see if the new message will go through. Like I said, even after disabling GV, it took 3 days for the lost texts to come through.

I've had someone texting me throughout the process to no avail. I am working on updating the profile and the PRI/PRL but have to load a sense ROM. Is that the same as the radios? Haven't really dealt with radios before.
Any towers being worked on in your area? I've had no incoming texts for 4 weeks now, due to a tower upgrade (LTE). The only way I could get a text was to make a phone call (typically called my voicemail when I wanted to check for texts). Supposedly this is done as of today...
Worth it for the LTE though!

Thanks guys. I ended up just flashing a MikG ROM and it corrected what ever was wrong. Then flashed my AOKP ROM and we are back up and running. Still have no idea what it was.
I'm having same issues, ive been switching back and forth between ROMS to see if i can find one that works. I removed Google voice from my phone, and deactivated it online to see if that fix it. but not working still.
I still only get texts when i make a phone call.
Mik G worked for me as well
Those who are having the problem, are you restoring a backup of GV with data?
Remember, especially with Google apps, there are a lot of updated features for ICS and backups from Gingerbread will not work efficiently. It is best to start from scratch with these apps, especially seeing that Google voice pull most of its data from the cloud... no real need to restore data with it.
