Voicemail won't work on new roms?

I've been on vaelpak for a while because it was fairly stable and didn't give me too many problems. But it wouldn't pick up gps and crash when I tried to update google maps. So I jumped ship to the almighty cyanogenmod. It was cool except for the fact that angry birds wouldn't install and it was using the stock camera, but I fell in love with how quick it loaded pics. Then I saw it didn't have visual voicemail and when people called it only said try again later, no message leaving. so I tried google voice, but when it asks to call to get a special provisioning number, it hangs up every time at three seconds. Finally I gave up and found frost rom, seemed like a dream.. Htc camera, voicemail app included, aosp look. Still voicemail didn't work. Still when I try to use voice it hangs up after exactly 3 seconds. What can I do? I want to eventually use cyanogenmod when 4g and gingerbread are running, so its imperative I get this fixed

Bump for desperation

With a non-sense ROM you have to use google voice. Its supposed to hang up, right after it hangs up press the back button and it should finish up the process. Then go into your settings and set google voice as your default voicemail. It will email you when you receive an email, then it will download the voicemail to the music folder of your phone and then you can listen to it only on speaker phone which is a pain in the ass.
This is one of the main reasons I am running Warm. Sprint VVM is so much simpler

Well I still can't get it to work. I guess I'll look into warm

Ouch. I used warm but it went uncommonly slow. Went back to frost, its perfect besides the voicemail thing. If anyone sees this after the bump and has a solution that's be great, otherwise I'll just deal with it

Make sure you never blocked the text number from cyanogen roms. If you went to sprints website and blocked that number your VM wont work, go to sprints website and delete that blocked number.

Warm is pretty fast with the stock kernel from what I have seen. But unfortunately it wont work if you upgraded your radio.

Can you explain a little further what you are taliking about here. I just made the switch to CM6 but I am in sales and can not afford to miss a voice mail. I used an app to block an SMS message from 9016 but I don't think you are talking about the same thing.

I just instaled visual voicemail from titanium backup. Worked like a charm except for the annoying text messages I had to blacklist from handcent.

Not receiving text messages

Im rooted and running rom Going-green lighting 10-12-11 and sometimes i will quit receiving texts from the people im talking to, even when im in the middle of a conversation with them ill quit receiveing texts. Ive updated PRL and PROFILE but nothing helps. Anyone know why its doing this and how to fix it?

Did you install the rom fresh? Make sure there are no network issues in your area.

I had the same issue. I've got a few questions first.
1. Are you using Google Voice?
2. If yes, is your Sprint number integrated with Google Voice?
3. What kernel are you using?
4. What baseband radio version are you using?
5. What hboot version are you using?

I miss calls as well, sorry I forgot to mention that. Ive never had this problem with any other gingerbread rom.

It's an issue with Google Voice. Not Gingerbread. There are a countless number of people, myself included, that have had this issue. SMS issues like this are only part of the problem as well. Some people don't receive calls. Some cant make calls. Some can't receive voicemail. Some receive other peoples' voicemail. I used to use Google Voice all the time. But this last iteration of it they really screwed everything up.

When you open the Google Voice app for the first time you have to go through a setup process. There are two ways to go through this process. One is to integrate your Sprint # with Google Voice (you automatically enter this mode when you press "next" on the first setup screen) and the other is to use just the voicemail portion without integration (this is accomplished by pressing "skip" on the first screen of the Google Voice setup screen.
I accidentally integrated my Sprint number with Google Voice when I setup the app. This was a HUGE mistake as I lost all ability to receive text messages on my phone due to Google's crappy development of sms handling of Google Voice. I spent the next 2 months scouring xda, the internet, Google forum support, Sprint forum support, Sprint tech support, and every possible resource you can think of for a solution. I found an endless number of people that were having the same, and in some case worse, problem than I. But I never found a single shred of helpful information. So I decided to just take my phone into Sprint and pray they say it's a hardware issue and give me a new phone. But my last ditch effort proved to completely fix my problem and I now receive text messages just like I used to before I installed Google Voice. So here is what worked for me.
Details: You are basically going to return your phone to bone stock as if you had just purchased the phone. So the process I explain is going to unroot and return you to stock ROM, turn S-on, and revert your Hboot back to stock. It is also going to remove your Google Voice account (trust me, this is a good thing) So please make sure you do a backup of all your data, app preferences, and apps if you wish, so that you do not lose anything.
1. Log into your Google Voice account online. (from a computer or your phone's browser)
2. In the top right of the page you will see a little icon that looks like a cog (a gear). Click that icon and select "Voice Settings."
3. Looking back at the main part of the page you'll see the details for your Google Voice/Sprint phone number. Click the "Disable" or "Deactivate" button to go through the deactivation process required to remove your Sprint number from Google Voice.
4. Go back to your phone and FULLY logout of the Google Voice app. Once you've logged out uninstall the app.
5. Go to this link and follow the rest of the step by step instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18399552&postcount=2
6. If your phone STILL does not receive SMS messages then you're at least already unrooted and can just stop by a Sprint store and have them see if it is a hardware issue. For me, unrooting somehow fixed my issue.
Once you complete those steps, if your messaging is working properly again, you can then reroot your phone and go on about your business as usual. The whole process of unrooting and rerooting my phone to fix the problem took an entire 15-20 minutes to do. Most of that time was spent verifying that things were working properly. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what exactly what the problem was. All I know is that when I unrooted to stock my phone suddenly worked again. So I decided to give Sprint the finger, reroot my phone, and get flash happy like always. I suggest NOT using Google Voice at all. At least not until they fix all of their horrendous issues with GV's sms messaging ability.

GMail Sending Issues?

Has anyone been having issues with their Gmail not sending emails?
I have tried to send emails but I keep getting the "sending..." notification in the email header.
The syncing icon in the taskbar just keeps spinning.
Ive tried to reboot the phone, etc.
Nothing.
I"m on Caulkin's ROM.
This is really frustrating as I use my phone for work as well and it delays my response times to important Clients.
Thanks!

Yeah experimented that a couple of weeks a go and dont know what of the 3 things I did was the one that worked:
1)Go to settings/Applications/Manage Applications in there go where the gmail app is (Downloaded or All) and clear the app data
2)If it have been updated in the market search for it in your apps in the market app ...uninstall it and reinstall
3)The last option is to use Root Explorer to go to system/apps delete the gmail app there and from other source paste another copy of the gmail app
Hope it works

I had the same issue on a stock rom (rooted). Turned out it was an app called Seal that was the culprit.

I learned that whenever I restore a backup, I have the clear data in Gmail or I get the same issue.
Not sure if it's the same cause for yours but clear data and send a test email. Pm me after, I'm interested to see if this works

Yup.
That's exactly what did it for me.
I went from UnNamed over to Caulkins last week and did a Titianium restore of my app+data.
Cleared the data in Applications>Gmail. That did the trick.

Google Voice all Biffed up (resovled)

So I just dropped my soon to be ex wife from my shared plan....Sprint changed my plan and the lady told me i would have to set GV back up...So I uninstalled it, redownloaded it and set it back up. But now It will not receive text through GV, I can send, but it returns through the stock app. I have verified the settings, tried another fresh install of the app, rebooted....anything I could think of!!
Any ideas?
So the damn foreign sprint rep...
worthless...ended up cussing him out, who knows if he really understood what i called him...
In the end, i had to go into the voice account on the ole laptop, delete my number from there, un install from the phone, and to be safe I used ROMtoolbox and cleared app data and cache. Then I reinstalled from the phone and it synced the desktop version. No help from sprint...He said that when the plan changed the system had to removed google voice...thats all he could manage to tell me.

Sweet rant bro.
Seriously, its a setting. On the first setup screen, hit skip. Then once you get past the rest of the setup, go into the app and change the delivery method from stock app to GV. Enjoy!

it is a setting.. just required logging into your gv from the computer to remove your cell number from the account and reloading the application.. you couldnt have removed your number from the phone.. or maybe a browser in desktop mode.. either way ive seen the answer to your question in other threads.. glad you fixed it.. i never use my gv number with my sprint number.. i use gv with a sip client and use both numbers seperately for calls and sms

Synergy Rom for Sprint GS3 Question!

I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499

It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up

It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Synergy ROM + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks

Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle

Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side
