I just flashed the Synergy rom and every call I make a call it uses my Google Voice number. I don't even have the GVoice app installed! WTF!

That is weird, indeed. I, too, have the Synergy rom installed and it did not do that and still doesn't. You may try logging on to GV online and alter some settings.

That's what I had to do. Go to GV online and disable the number and it will all go back to normal and your texts will also be fixed because I bet they are being hijacked by GV
same thing happened to me a while back. change the settings on the website and you'll be good to go.
The new google voice app seems to hijack your number. I nanded to an old backup and used titanium to store the old app version and now I restore that instead of the new market app.

After flipping between ROMS, I find my VVM is no longer working, nothing goes to my VVM. Even when I get voicemails, they do not show up in that app.
I did do something once when using CM6, I got a text message from that 9016 and called the number it said to retrieve it. Ever since my VVM has not been working. I am currently running Baked. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem on the Baked 1.5 rom. It tells me that I have a voicemail, but is unable to retrieve.
If it were me, I'd flash a stock rooted rom. See if voicemail works with that. If it doesn't, call customer service and tell them you are having problems with visual voice mail retrieval and if they would be so kind as to give your voice mail a full reset on their side.

Here's a few I googled and some possible fixes.
Oh, this is for the text from 9016 snafu. I don't know if it will help you.
Make sure under Call / Voicemail Settings that it displays your phone number. Otherwise I would wipe and reflash.

Lol. You will keep getting that txt. I'm not going to flame you but if you would of searched the forum you would of seen my post on vvm from yesterday or used the search feature I'm sure it would of popped up with vvm.
Anyways use the app private conversation from the market. Has a blacklist. Can do just SMS, phone call, and both SMS and phone call from a number. This is what I used.
Now go to settings and call setting, voicemail and make sure your phone number is in there if not change it. Mine was *86 so I had to change the number to mine. There ya go. Please do a little effort on searching. I use the xda app and the search always brings up roms and themes most of the time instead of what I'm looking for but I still try first and go to the forums and go through a big list.
Hope this helps.

You the man! This was the problem (for me at least). It had the option of using "carrier" or "google voice" for voicemail and neither one was checked. I'm assuming that's because the data wipe and installation of a new rom. I checked carrier and tested it out. It's now good to go.
Thanks!
Got it working =]
@martyzidek: I did search first, but I was probably overly specific and got no results from my search =[
@herbthehammer: I did just that, installed a plain rooted 2.2, and for good measure I then ran a Master Reset (##786#) since I already knew my code from trying to update the PRI. I double checked that my voicemail # was showing up correctly (thanks @dglowe343), then had my girlfriend call and leave a message. I then received 6 voicemails all at once: the one that my girlfriend just left and the 5 others that didn't show up. =]
Two questions
1) what is a voicemail. Handle?
2) voicemail not working Cyn.mod7 Ginger update.
I so need to fix my vmail I've tried various sprint vvm packs with no success. Even willing to make a pay pal donation. Ok. Thanks in advance evolution lovers.

I think this is discussed in the Nightlies thread in general or in the RC1 thread. I believe there is a fix for this, but not positive it applies to your specific issue.
I THINK the fix is this:
Flash a sense ROM and get Sprint vvm set up and working, then back it up with titanium.
Go back to CM7, either restore or flash again, then use Titanium to restore it WITH DATA.
I do seem to remember something about install Sprint vvm without Titanium, then using it to restore only the data, but I can't remember for sure.
Or you could use google voice like me, I don't care about voicemail enough to worry about it.
G voice? But will I have to give out a different number

actually, if you get a GVoice number, you can configure your phone to use GVoice.
Dial *28AAABBBCCCC
where AAABBBCCC = your GVoice number.
also, you can go to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail and change it to Google Voice, it will dial for you.
GV backs your voicemail up to the cloud, transcribes (with fairly good accuracy), and e-mails it to you. What more could you want?? No more backing up/restoring voicemails, and you can read and see via e-mail your voicemail when your phone's dead (as opposed to having to call your # and hitting pound every time).

Yeah, the others are correct. You have to get a Google voice number, but you don't have to give it out to anyone. Just log into your google account on your comp and go to Google Voice to set up your account and pick a number once you have the number, click gvoice on your phone and it will walk you through the setup step by step.
Took me a while the first time figuring it out on my own, after that it's no problem.
If I were you I would just download youmail it worked great for me. You mail is in the market and a website to finish youmail.com
So I received my 1st VM since flashing to salvage mod and I noticed two things..
1. It took like 10-15 minutes for the alert to come through after I missed the call
2. I got a weird text message letting me know off said VM, but it asked me to call some number, which didn't play my message
Does this sound right? I finally called my phone number and retrieved my message
Yeah, that's a common problem. Easiest thing to do is download an SMS app that lets you block texts from certain numbers and block 9016.
edit: I think super-private conversation is what people use.
handcent will block 9016 texts and has a nice interface. Finally after being told 2000 times to try google voice, I did, and it is great. I would recommend trying that if you want something else to play around with.
Yeah, I switched to Google Voice, even on Sense ROMs (not like I ever use those anyway).
oh yeah, sense. I remember that. It was like February 2011 or something right? Best thing about google voice is the text translation. Seriously, did they even try? It's funny how bad it is, but the service is great

But, if I block the text, how he hell do I know if I actually got a VM or not?
You should still get a VM notification.

Nothing showed up yesterday :/
Left a VM from my work phone, lets test this out.
Sounds like a plan. Let us know.
Edit: What steps did you follow in order to set up your VVM?
10 minutes and no alerts at all.
Does this sound normal?
When you set up your VVM did you:
•*Use Titanium Backup to backup vvw in a Sense ROM
• Flash CM7
• install the apk for VVM (attached in various threads, or extracted from a sense ROM, unless it's preinstalled in Salvage)
• Use Titanium Backup to restore data only for VVM
Sorry should have asked this first. This is the only way to get VVM properly working on AOSP.

So I discovered that I get the text almost immediately, but there is no "notification" that pops up.
What are you using?

Yeah, you're not going to get a notification if you're not using a voicemail app lke Google Voice or VVM.

Ah ok, makes sense. I am going to DL Google Voice and test it out.
FYI, you have to set up a GV account and number on the comp first. You can set it up online from the phone, just easier from a comp.

So Google Voice works. I guess I still need to set it up to say my name and stuff.
I am using CM7 nighties and ever sense moving to AOSP I have noticed that all of my Facebook contacts that are synced with my phone come over with the "+1" prefix. When I go to make a call to one of them I am told that i don have a sufficient balance on my account to make this call. I am using Google Voice but this issue was around before I started using that. While using a stock Sense based ROM I don't have this issue it just drops the prefix and makes the call. I love CM& and AOSP and really want to continue using them but its getting old having to edit every number before i call it.
Have you tried turning google voice to only make international calls? Check the settings in the app.
Google Voice is what is telling me that I don't have a sufficient balance. Before I had Google Voice it would say that it was not able to place the call.

Hmmm you could try going to google.com/voice and changing your GV number linked to your phone. Have you ported your sprint # into google voice? I use two separate numbers, 1 sprint # and my GV has a seperate #. If you try that make sure you go back to call settings and select "voicemail number" and dial that little number that pops up to activate it again.
Or
Try going to all the numbers and removing the plus, google voice thinks you're calling long distance dude. I believe aosp roms don't like the +1 man you have to get that plus out lol.
Its a ROM issue. I was wondering if there was some setting or app that would take care of the issue.
I can't edit the numbers that are brought in by Facebook.

Ouch damn that sucks. It has to be aosp...ill do some research see what I come up with lol.
My last guess would be to try another dialer and use it over the stock cm7 one. Search market for "dialer one" or "go dialer".
Go dialer
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact
Dialer one
http://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne
I like go dialer but it is a no go. Still happens. This has to be in the rom some where.

try going to menu-settings-call-plus code dialing and untick "north American dialing" thats what finally worked for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
The only temp solution i have found with MikG 1.x is to go into your contacts and unlink the Facebook contact, hit done, and then manually relink the Facebook contact. This workaround effectively got rid of the +1 dialing prefix on the majority of my contacts.

So I just picked up my first EVO yesterday. Rooted running fresh, nice.
I installed the same version of Google voice on here, as is on my Hero, however the EVO doesn't give me the option to 'make' calls. And in the set up, it took over my messaging app. I can't even change the options on messaging. Anyone know why its so limited and controlling on the EVO?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
To switch back you need to go online I believe as far as the messaging. Also try seeing uf there is a update for GV, cause in mine there is a setting to ask everytime, or to just use one or the other.

It seems you have integrated your GV with Sprint. You need to go in your GV account online and disable integration and remove your GV account from the app. Then you need to setup GV again, this time, press "skip" the first time you get the choice to skip while setting up and setup GV the regular way without integrating.
