[Q] Sprint VVM HELP!!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Voicemail: An optional upgrade is now available.

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.

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.

[Q] Voicemail not working on MikFroyo? Seriously Need Help!

So I am using the latest build of MikFroyo (4.5) and I am using the stock kernel that comes with it (stock htc kernel I believe). Well, I have had people call my phone and they say when it should go to voicemail it says that the "number is out of service." I have gone through my settings to make sure my phone number was right and it was. Then I tried using Google Voice and that didn't work either..apparently my area code for my phone number was not supported. I need help from someone quick, I use my voicemail for work. I know I am somewhat of a noob but I reallly need some help. Thanks in advance.
Do you have sprints visual voice mail.apk installed? I'm assuming it came with the rom. I would try to delete it and manually install the apk floating around here. Otherwise try to do a complete wipe and flash another rom.
I have done all of that. I even did the formatall.zip and then flashed MIUI and went back
Did you find a solution? I am having the same issue. It was saying that my number was disconnected. Now the person calling my phone hears my phone ringing, but my actual phone does not ring. I am having issues with my Sprint number as well as the one designated by Google.
Go to google voice. Like the website and call the number to deactivate your google voice accoujt
I had this same problem. Not sure how I fixed it, but after a bunch of trying stuff I'm now using google voice on cm7 nightlys.

strange issue for a sense rom? but try this..
2 questions: what recovery are you using? and did you nanroid backup the rom that the voicemail was working on? if so do a nanroid restore back to it and use titanium backup and back up the voicemail service apk, then do your wipes reflash mik4.5 redownload titanium backup from market go into manage all applications delete data and info for voicemail services then do a restore from titanium backup should work i use this method when i flash nonsense roms. hope this helps

Voicemail on salvage mod help!!!

I flashed salvage mod the other day and the only problem I have is that it does not have visual voicemail. Is there any way I can get the voicemail app from the stock sense rom? If so can anyone post a link to the apk. Thanks.

a way that I was able to get my VVM was by flashing a sense ROM of your choice, downloading Titanium Backup and back up the Sprint VVM - then when you flash any other ROM and re-download Titanium Backup, all you have to do is restore - Hope this helps!

I've never tried using the Sprint VVM app on SalvageMod, but I'm sure it's possible, as the other poster mentioned. If it can work on CM, surely it will also work on Salvage. There may be a specific version you need for it to work, however I'm not sure of that.
I honestly suggest using Google Voice as your voicemail. In my opinion, it's better than the Sprint VVM. There are various reasons why I think it's better, but I at least suggest you give it a shot. If you don't like it, back to sprint VVM for you.
Disable voicemail notification
I'm trying out the SalvageMod 1.3 stable rom on my HTC Evo 4G and it's working great so far. I'm trying to disable the stock voicemail notification but I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I tried the following:
Menu --> Settings --> Call Settings
I didn't find the option to uncheck the voicemail notification. Could it be somewhere else?
Thank you.

Need help w/CM7 and voice mail issues... What am I supposed to install? (Sprint)

I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on an Evo 4G on Sprint service and now I get text messages that say I need to call 408.970.0000 to get my VM. When I called it I got a recording about having a smart phone with SMS or something or another and I wasn't sure what it asked me but I pressed option '2' and it said something to the effect that it would continue sending me SMS voice mails but that's not what I want. I don't like getting the cryptic text messages and would much rather have the previous VM solution I had. I think it's called visual voice mail or something to that effect.
If I want that back and to do away with the SMS notifications what are my steps?
Can anyone help me out or link me to a how to and how to resolve my voice mail issue?
I found something about a Spring VM apk so do I just need to install this app and if so where can I find the latest one compatible with CM7?
Thanks for the help.

Which topic specifically?
Since posting this thread I kept searching and I've found some threads talking about a Spring VVM apk and I've downloaded what I think is the right file that I may try. Now I'm just trying to make sure this is my solution.
Try the themes and apps subforum. Your answer is there.

We are in the middle of this same discussion on another thread so im guna hook ya up. First, download the two apps i linked below. Then using root explorer or a file manager that has root privileges mount system as r/w and delete the stock CM7 MMS app in system/app folder. Than move the MMS app i linked to system/app. Long click the MMS app and make sure permissions are set exactly like the other system apps, click ok. Now do the same with the VVM app below, move it to system apps and set permissions as well. Mount the system as r/o again and reboot your phone. Go into the VVM app and set up VVM and thats it. You will now have visual voice mail again and no annoying 9016 texts. BTW, the MMS app i posted is from Decks AOSP 1.3d rom(that has the fix for the 9016 texts) and the VVM app is from the 8/22 GAPPS, Enjoy.......

Thanks, I'll try it out soon as I get a chance. I installed an apk based on something I found and it kind of worked but I was getting those annoying 9016 texts like you mentioned. I'll give this a go when I get some more time.

I have not tried that rom but the issue we are trying to fix is the annoying texts you get with every vm from 9016. I know this works with the salvaged rom too. The vm come through on your vm app though? Also, some have had success with the following if the VVM app is not verifying there account automatically. Press menu in VVM and compose a message over 25 seconds long. Send the message to [email protected] and make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled so it will send. This should kick start it.
Use super private conversation app to block 9016 txt. Spc is a free app.

The part in bold above; is it just called MMS.apk or should I be looking for a file called CM7 MMS? Just want to make sure I delete the right one before I get started here. Also, is this process going to be changed any because I installed the VVM apk before you posted this or will following your steps still yield the same results?

Yes the app you are looking for is in system/app and is called Mms.apk. The icon looks just like the messaging app in your app drawer. If you already have VVM set up and working than just delete stock Mms app and replace with new Mms app and reboot, thats all.

Flawless Victory!
I just wanted to quote this post again for anyone who may be searching for a solution to the same problem. Since I had already installed the VVM I simply deleted the MMS apk and replaced as instructed and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for taking the time to post up the fix and link the files needed.
For the record, I searched and while I found ZERO answers to my problem there were sure a lot of people suggesting to search as the answer was as easy as falling off a log and that wasn't the case. I get SO frustrated when people offer zero help and instead ridicule any and every post looking for help to somehow make themselves feel better. No, the answer isn't always that simple and no you're not helping anyone. If you don't have the answer, a link to the answer or at least first hand knowledge that the answer for sure exists someplace recent then do everyone a favor and move along w/o posting. This forum is made better from people like luist4498 who actually contribute and not people like you who appear only to be around to pad their post count.

No problem man! I dont understand why certain people are so nasty about another asking for help when it took me only a couple minutes to upload and post the files and fix. Go figure, btw, if u flash CM nightlies or re-flash CM for any reason u will have to do this fix again since they install the stock MMS again when u flash nightlies or re-flash rom.

Thanks for the heads up but I'm not one to flash ROMs on a regular basis. I was running MikG v2.3 for months before a got caught in a boot loop which forced me to reflash a new ROM. At this time I looked at what was available and decided I liked CM7 the best and flashed that. Unless something else catastrophically fails or I find a feature I can't live w/o I will likely rock this ROM for some time to come. If I do change it though I will be sure to do the fix and refer back to this thread for a refresher. Thanks!

Then using root explorer or a file manager that has root privileges mount system as r/w and delete the stock CM7 MMS app in system/app folder. Than move the MMS app i linked to system/app. Long click the MMS app and make sure permissions are set exactly like the other system apps, click ok. Now do the same with the VVM app below, move it to system apps and set permissions as well. Mount the system as r/o again and reboot your phone. Go into the VVM app and set up VVM and thats it. You will now have visual voice mail again and no annoying 9016 texts. BTW, the MMS app i posted is from Decks AOSP 1.3d rom(that has the fix for the 9016 texts) and the VVM app is from the 8/22 GAPPS, Enjoy.......

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Flashed to MetroPcs.. MMS not working.

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.
