[Help] Cyanogenmod 6 and Sprint Visual Voice Mail

So I just flashed Cyanogenmod 6 RC2 and it's awesome. Only real issue that I'm having is that my visual voice mail is sending me garbage text messages when I get a voice mail. I've tried blacklisting the number in hand cent, but I'm still getting the text message alerts and it is very annoying. Has anyone found a fix for this?
I've looked around the forums here and else where and I've not seen anything I haven't tried yet.

Updating to the 6.0 Release, might fix the issue. I'll post after the update.

Silly no good. Any ideas XDA?

Answer your phone

U really need to read some. There are about 1,543,964.65 threads about this already...

Download private conversation app in the market. Can block SMS, phone call, and both SMS and phone calls from the blacklist on it. Works for me. Had the same problem.

Phone sending entire inbox.

hey I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet, as I can't find any info about this in any forum so far:
Whenever I flash a rom, this issue doesn't show up right away, but it always does, regardless of phone or build. Currently every sms message I send is stuck in a "sending" status on my device. The recipient always gets the message, but my phone thinks that it hasn't been sent. So, whenever I reboot my phone, if I haven't cleared all of my threads, my phone will resend every sent message on my phone. If I flash the same rom on top of itself, it goes away for a few more days, but it always comes back. Again, this is regardless of rom and even phone (D1, Eris,fascinate, DX, and incredible). Does anyone know what could be causing this? At the very least if someone could direct me to the property place to ask this question, I'd appreciate it.

What email account is this happening with?

If its over many phones it could be a problem with the towers around you, try calling verizon about it but get to the to the top of tech support

It's not an email account, it's sms.

I don't think it's a tower issue. When I send a message, in handcent there is s spinning wheel next to the message until the phone registers the message as "sent". this happens in it's own way across any and all sms apps on my phone. If I create and send the message in the stock messages app, it will show as sending in my other app and vice-versa. For the record, I have tried this with handcent, chomp sms and go sms.

This definitely sounds like a network issue. Have you tried sending a sms with a "dumb phone" and see if you have the same problem?

No, I haven't. I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. I sent a text to myself last night to test, and while it got to me immediately, it sent itself again 4 hours later. I'm not sure if that means anything significant or not but I'll try using another phone tonight.

This was a known issue with some phones and some SMS/MMS clients. Handcent implemented a fix, not sure about other clients. See this post in android forums for implementing the fix: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...on-without-resending-old-sms.html#post2136469

Thanks for this info!! I'm currently trying go sms again jaded on a reply in that thread, which seems to be working. I want to try the handcent fix, but I don't feel like taking the time to see how well consistently it works and risk text bombing people again. Hopefully some better themes start popping up

GVoice+Sprint question/help

I've been using gvoice thru Sprint primarily since they teamed up and lately I've been having an issue. I'm not receiving all my texts from my partner for sometimes days after he sent them. Texts are basically received when he sends them or not received by gvoice for hours or days later. I've only recently noticed this with his texts and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Ive been useing it since the start as well. have not had this issue or any other issues. How ever before gvoice thing i would never receive any text messages from one of my friends ever (6+ months), but was fixed when i switched to gvoice.. So maybe something similar but i dont know what it is.
sidenote: he is on t-mobile . but i dunno if that matters cause my entire famliy is on t-mobile as well and i got all there messages.
Hopefully u find your answer its annoying

Yeah I've enjoyed the sprint+gvoice experience until now. It's really odd. For now I've switched to talking to my partner via gtalk. I've filed a report with the gvoice help site. I'm debating calling Sprint but I'm unaware if it's a Sprint related issue or a gvoice issue BC it's not like gvoice isn't notifying me of the incoming texts, it's just not receiving random texts from my partner for days.

its worth a shot but i bet they have rather limited google voice knowledge. Maybe for last resort go into settings of ur google voice and revert back to sprint and see if it comes through. Ive never done this so i dont know if you can revert right back to google voice or not , I dont see why not though.

I had to spend 1/2 hour on phone with tech support due to Google voice "taking over my phone". It wouldn't allow me to call without it or disable it. I don't think my situation is relevant but perhaps Sprint can help on their end.

I hate gvoice... It completely screwed call and text receipt on my wife's EVO. The only way to get rid of it is to go to the Google voice website and remove your phone from the account. Once we did that all was well.

Just posting in case anyone has or had the same GVoice issues that I have.
I disabled GV via desktop GV settings and reverted back to my original GV #. I then re-enabled the Sprint+GV integration and so far I have received all of the texts that have been sent to me just like I should. *EDIT* Problem still exists. I'm ****ed.

Unable to receive text from a certain number

Hi, I've tested/re-tested and have found that while I am able to send a text message to a certain number, I am unable to receive any from that number. I've done a hard reset on the phone and even called the sprint hotline (who were unable to figure it out). The sprint people saw all the texts on the server that are destined for my phone from that number but I did/do not receive them.
I've used handcent as well as the native messaging app but no cigar.
Does anyone have any insight into what may be happening here.

Is it the persons phone who is trying to send it? If u can send and receive it doesn't sound like your phone.

I use google voice integration and had this problem before. form some reason gv marked my wife's number as spam and blocked her calls and texts. I couldn't even call or text her either. so if you're using gv check the spam filter.

Do know what kind of phone they're using? Its possible they need a hard reset...
We had a lady in yesterday who couldn't send texts to 5 different people, a hard reset fixed it for her.

I did a hard reset on the phone and the problem remains. Yes, I do have google voice on the phone but I think after the hard reset, the application was removed. Would my number still be blocked in the spam filter? I'll check the voice.google.com site out.

The phone I'm not receiving texts from is a nexus S phone that has t-mobile service.

The are google voice settings that persist after the app is removed, definitely check out the desktop settings. This sounds like an issue on that line not on your epic.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

As it turns out, the issue was on Sprint's side. They had escalated the issue to their networking department on Friday. On Sunday all of a sudden all of the missing texts started pouring into the Epic 4g. Apparently the engineers had reset something to get this to work although they haven't contacted me about it. So far from what I can see, the problem is resolved now.

The problem happened again. The Epic 4g Touch is no longer getting messages from the Nexus S. Messages from all other numbers show up.
I'm getting tired of this since it takes 2 escalations at Sprint to fix this problem (Networking dept). Since we just bought the phone, I think it's just best to return it.

[Q] Losing Some Text Messages

Hey guys, hopefully I'm not the only one with this issue, though it seems pretty strange. I can receive most texts fine, but from 2 of my friends (as far as I know, maybe more) I only get every second or third text they send to me. This has been happening for the last few months. What these friends seem to have in common is that they both have AT&T and iPhones (one has a 4S, one a 3Gs, both with iOs5). They haven't experienced this issue with anyone else, so I'm assuming the problem is on my end, be it Sprint or my Epic.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue? If it helps, I use Handcent for messaging (although the missing texts don't show up in Stock Messaging either), and rooted running EI22 modem, MarcusantROM v2 MTD with Samurai RONIN5 kernel.

You KNOW our phones are too good to talk to iphones...LOL!
My guess is a down tower near them that is causing this. My work phone is an AT&T and all of a sudden getting "call failed" in lots of areas.

Thanks for the reply, but the issue seems to be happening too often and in too many places (DC, Northern Virginia, Southern Virginia, and South Carolina) to be a faulty tower. And also, it only seems to happen when texting my phone and no one else.

jin, do a prl and profile update on your phone. then power phone off, leave it for about 2 mins. turn back on, and then wait for about 2mins to completely bootup with sprint network, then tell them to text you again, 3x ... see what happens.

it's sound more like a "switch" issue.

I tried the above, even took the battery out when powered off for ~5 minutes, but am still not receiving some texts.

send yourself some texts...see what happens..

I can send and receive texts from myself, it's just these 2 pesky AT&T folk..

it's on their end. if you can receive messages on your end, than it's for sure on their end.

I had a similar issue, I was connected with Google voice and using go SMS. Some people only received every other text or singing like that and one friend was texting me all day yesterday and I never got it but she got mine. I seemed to have asked the issue by disabling Google voice completely. I didn't want to since I liked the features, but it's they only thing I child do to make it work.

ok..here's a question, why not just you the default text message app that the phone already has?

in regards to google voice.. google is actually working on major improvements regarding google voice.. they know there are major delays with messaging and other things, but they are working on it.

Hmm I used google voice for a little while half a year ago but then deactivated it (the integration with sprint at least, I still use it for international calls). I doubt that has something to do with the problem for me.
