CM6 Nightly/RC1 Phantom Voicemail Notification

Is there anyone NOT having this problem?
Is there any fix out there not involving deactivating and reactivating your Evo?

yea, use google voice voicemail, 100x more features

Even after using Google the voicemail notification is still there

I have retired everything. I even sent voice mail to myself through sprint visual voice mail and had two separate email notifications from the same sprint number. I give up.nothing worked.

Try clearing data in the dialer storage app. Im using GV and it's fixed the notification for me even after a reboot.

I think that Sprint also plays a big part in this, it was an issue with my Blackberry's for years.

Did you have the notification before you performed the above steps?
Also could you link me to VMM? I flashed an Hero version and it prevented my device from booting. lol

I has this problem since the first nightly, but after wiping & flashing last night's build, the notification is gone.

If you think you have it fixed try going into and out of flight mode a couple of times and it will be back.

Did that and still no voice mail notifications... I am sorry I couldnt help, seems all EVO's are different... maybe its the way we rooted our phones. I did the lenghthy longway by toast and then did the quick update root to the new 1.47...
Maybe that has something to do with it, i dont know i am not a DEV.

I tried this. I did not receive provision successful voicemail text, just bunch of gibberish text from Sprint that you get with CM6.
Notification is not fixed. Cyannogen stated that there will be a hack in the upcoming nightly to clear the message.

I have yet to get this issue, probably because day one that I got my phone, I switched my default voicemail to Google Voice, and have unanswered calls to my Sprint number forward to GVoice as well.
Screw Sprint's crapware and 1990's voicemail systems, Google Voice all the way!

I did a full data/cache wipe on the last nightly and it is gone. But I am scared to do a reset or toggle flight mode.

I flashed the latest Nightly (7/27) and the I was able to clear the voicemail icon.

Sprint vvm is linked in the op post of the cm nightly thread in the q&a forum. First PG down around the FAQ bit of the post.
Not to be indelicate but... I've been using sprint vvm rom cm6 since I first flashed it and I haven't had any persistent sms msg problems.

visual voicemail not working?
It should work, assuming you installed all the nice Sprint apps.
I still get the text notification?
There is that clear command that gets rid of notifications, but no real fix in CM6. I suggest you stick to a ROM based on the latest OTA.

Problem solved
Some suggested to use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected]
this worked
Thanks

[Q] *86 Voice Mail notification on NON-SENSE ROMS

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.

Settings>Call>Voicemail> Change the number from *86 to whatever your phone number is.

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.

Your MMS Server might have the wrong address or something. Tell me something, are you able to send regular text message without a problem or does that result into an endless wait too? If you're not able to send text messages either then you're going to have to flash into a sense rom preferably Sprint Lovers ROM and go to the dialer and press ##DATA#, once you press that you should be prompted for a code which will be your MSL....if you don't know your MSL then go to the market and download MSL reader....get your MSL and retry the ##DATA#.....once you enter your MSL then you should see a black screen with about 4 or 5 menu entires....go into Advanced and scroll down to where it say MMS Server and make sure it says http://mms.sprintpcs.com.....if it doesn't say that then that was your problem....reboot and re-flash CM7.

No I don't have any problems with SMS. But I will try the process you stated ... I had to do pretty much the same thing to get my 3g to work on my custom roms so I get the jist of the steps ..ill post my results once I set it up. Thank you for the help

Did you have your 3g on? Won't work on wifi, but works on 3g. 3g has to be on before you begin to send.

[Q] VVM After Removing/Disabling Google Voice

Unfortunately each time I try to post this question, I'm getting the following error - even though there are no links. The details of my problem, therefore, may be spread across several comments in this thread as I attempt to include them all.
Code:
To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!
I flashed SyndicateRom Frozen 1.2 yesterday, and am LOVING it so far! Besides a known bug with the missed call info displayed on the glass lock screen, I have only one problem with my phone right now.
While getting all my apps reinstalled & set back up, I decided on a whim to install Google Voice. During the install wizard apparently it took over my phone. I thought I'd cancelled out in time, but when sending a text msg this morning a friend told me it was showing up w/ my GV number. I removed GV, and through their website I deactivated their voicemail.
So now when I text, it shows my correct number. I'm making & receiving calls ok. But when an incoming call goes to voicemail, the Visual Voicemail app never notifies me of a voicemail, and instead I get a weird text msg like this:
(to be continued)

Wow, 5 minute posting limit imposed too. this is fun!
/ / ANDROID : < caller's phone # > has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408 - 970 - 0000 to listen. MMSN,15ec6a1b4,1fc6,V69A / tC1Nqr / / CM
(spaces added to foil the system from thinking I'm posting a URL)
(to be continued)

(hopefully I can get the rest in this time)
That last part after the MMSN changes each time.
I'm able to press/hold 1 to access my voicemail, but when I go into the VM app, there's nothing there.
I tried restoring from TitaniumBackup - that brought a couple of my old voicemails back, but still nothing new, and I still get the text messages.
I tried sending a voicemail to activate @ vvm.sprint.com through the voicemail app - that results in a return text message saying:
/ / ANDROID : * @ vvm . coremobility . com has sent you a Sprint Voice Message... yada yada yada
I've also seen texts like this:
/ / ANDROID : Provisioning successful CFGv320c.0=07cbKhXuKph / / CM
I also tried installing a 5.1.0.52 apk (can't locate the URL I eventually tracked down at the moment).
Still nothing.
I just spent an hour on a support chat w/ Sprint. We tried *38, *720; rebooting more times than I can count, and now I'm at the point where he's reset "something" and it's supposedly going to start working for me in the next hour. Call me a skeptic.
Is it something on Google's end? Sprint's? My phone? Has anybody else worked through this before? I just want my vm app to work like it always has.
TIA!

I once again found the URL where I downloaded the 5.1.0.52 apk:
https://upgradeserver.coremobility.com/prod/sprint/2.1/5.1.0.52/vtt-sprint.apk
(and woohoo, looks like I can post URLs now)

Any ideas on this?
Using Titanium I uninstalled voicemail, rebooted, reinstalled, and am still getting the text messages.
Would reflashing be an option? I hate to do it since I finally have everything set up just the way I like - but I need to get this fixed.

Is this the right forum to be asking for help?

I don't think the issue has to do with google voice. I am having the same issue with SFR 1.2 and I never installed GV. I have tried clearing data, I have tried to reactivate my VVM, I have tried restoring a titanium backup as well.
Everything in VVM seems to work, but it never receives messages.
If you find a fix, post it here so those of us having the issue can get it working too.
EDIT: I figured out my issue was actually with Handcent. The VVM application requires messages to be passed from the stock SMS application to DL VVM messages. If you have handcent and are using 3.9.5 go into settings>default applications> and check "disabled" and your VVM will start working again. Hope this helps someone other than me.

Interesting... I've always used Handcent (since my Hero days). I vaguely remember setting it to "All (SMS & MMS)". I changed it back to "Disable" and will see what happens. So far none of the voicemails on the system are downloading (when I dial in it tells me there are 9 new messages). I don't have a landline to leave a test message, so it'll be a while before I can get somebody to call me to test.
Thanks for the past - it would be great if that's all it takes to fix it! After changing this setting, you're no longer getting those strange text messages either?

I can't remeber where it is, but on google.com/voice ,log into your account, there is a setting that can be changed, also a # to dial, I wish I could remeber, its #?? To disable google voice, but that's probably not your problem, I bet its a setting on gvoice website...
