[Q] No more voicemail notification !

I Flashed my Bell Desire Z with Cyamogenmod 6.1 and now I am no longer receiving voicemail notifications...
I checked the settings and my voicemail gateway is ok, and my phone number is entered... Do I need other settings ?
Thanks for your reply

I would check the Cyanogen thread on the G2 side for this - e.g. search in it for "voicemail", and then if there's nothing there post up on it. There are a lot of people running Cyanogen over there.

Already posted on cyanogen forum ...

No one has this problem?

I have it on my stock Desire Z. Figured it was a setting on my carrier's end, have them trying to fix it.

If no one else is havig a bad problem, then maybe it was just a bad flash. Do a nandroid back-up, wipe and re-flash. If that doesn't work, then maybe you need to try another ROM.

I thought in general flashing custom roms breaks visual voicemail? I jailbroke my iPhone and I lost functionality and after flashing any rom on android

I am on rogers with CM6.1.1 and dont get VM notification either!

I'm on cynogen gingerbread and I get voicemail I hate the notification I never check it

I haven't tried a custom ROM yet but when I get voicemail Bell also sends me a text. Do you not get these? That would suffice as a notification of voicemail.

Hey Everyone... Just wondering if anyone has had any luck solving this? I am with Bell and ever since I flashed any Gingerbread ROM, I don't get the SMS or Voicemail icon notification.

You HAVE to set up your voicemail. I know that whether you're using goodliest voice or not, you have to set up your voicemail. Either go into google voice, or into the phone settings and do that.

I have the same problem. I reverted back to my stock rom back up to get the voicemail number. I set it in my call settings and the 1 button leads to my voicemail but I get no notifications.

I just wanted to post that I receive voicemail notifications with the new "test" HTC Sense rom that was released on here a few days ago, but still no voicemail notifications if I'm running any "Stock" build of gingerbread such as CyanogenMod 7.

What voicemail? From carrier? Visual or Google voice?

Regular carrier voicemail on Bell Canada. The thread has people saying the same thing about Rogers as well.
I am not talking about Visual or Google Voice (we dont have this in Canada yet).

*bump*
Same issue after I went from stock to CM7 on Bell.

found this thead via google when I was trying to fix my issues (on a Desire).
I found that under settings/call settings/voicemail "My carrier" was listed under voicemail service, however when I opened the drop down, it wasnt selected.
Hope this is of some help to someone else.

i get the "text message" notification for my voicemails on cm7 without my voicemail number setup in settings. once i put my vm num in i can long press 1 to go to my box. i am on cm nightly 185 on rogers canada.
ps ive never seen a voicemail icon, nor do i need one since i get text alerts...

[Q] SMS app

Looking for a sms/mms messaging app that uses my data plan instead of my text plan. Search with no luck. Anyone got anything......

That would just be email right?
Otherwise, SMS is always going to come in/send out via your text plan

I guess that would fall into email. Guess I'm looking for more of a chat based app. comes down to i would like to send and recieve messages with out a number trace.

What about "whatsapp messenger".. it looks like it might do the trick.

Kik messenger... similar to BBM....

The problem with most apps that say they are SMS replacements that use your data plan is that they are actually some type of IM program which would require the person you are trying to reach be using it as well.
I'd recommend Google Voice as it would be using the data plan on your end, but be sending a true SMS so the recipient sees it as an SMS. If they want to pay for a text messaging plan, that's their choice.
Certain IM clients like Yahoo IM can send SMS messages, but I don't think it's as clean, it's just easier for the recipient when they see a SMS coming from an actual phone number.
In any case, you'd end up having problems if you like to send pics via MMS. Google Voice does not support MMS (people have been requesting it for a while, I only hope it's on their roadmap).

Did'nt Go sms have this as a paid option?

Get Textfree...when u make account, it gives you number that shows up when u text somebody, and it uses data...I used it a lot on my ipod touch, not so much on my dinc, but still does the job

Live profile. It is supposed to work like blackberry messenger but you can use it cross platform (android, iPhone, BB). Downside is that tonuse it, both you and the person you are trying to reach need to have it installed.

MetroPCS visual voicemail app

I successfully flashed my Evo using the Droid version 4 rom posted in the developers forum. Everything works but I can't find an app for voicemail. The ops page listed that version Droid version 3 added voicemail so I assumed it would carry over to the next version. Sorry but I can't ask in that forum since I don't have the 10 posts minimum.

Try Google voice. Its an alternative to vvm.
This is my signature.

I'm on metro too, and visual voice is a no go for us metro folk. You have to go another route. Like soap said, Google voice is a good alternative. It's what I use

Actually, I googled "pcs visual voicemail apk" and installed. Works fine, you just have to use 3g to get authenticated and retrieve voice mail - doesn't seem to want to work using a wifi connection.

Google Voice Integration App

I use google voice for texts a lot and stumbled upon an app that integrated google voice into the stock messaging application of the phone. This is not a standalone messaging application like "Google Voice + Messaging" app, but instead can set the stock app to use gvoice. For those who want to check it out here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tZHJ0b29scy5hcHBzLmd2aW50ZWdyYXRpb24uZnJlZSJd
It works perfectly except one thing: For some reason I am not getting notification bar notification from the messaging application for new texts received. The texts themselves come in and can be viewed if you open the messaging application but it doesn't send the status bar notification. Can anyone try and confirm this or is it just me because I don't see it mentioned in reviews. As an alternative I just have the default gv app notify me and I use messaging app for actually sending.

The reason why you don't receive your notifications anymore is because of the Google Voice App update. Every time the GV app updates the integration app must be updated also. The developer just stopped. It sucks because it was an amazing application.
There's another one on the market that does the same thing also but it's a separate messaging app themed like the stock one.

Actually, the app works fine in Android 4.0 and 4.1. I have used this app a long time, and it quit displaying notifications with the 4.2 update. So I grabbed the mms.apk from 4.1 and it works fine again. Every time I update my ROM now, I replace mms.apk with the one from CM10 I keep in /sdcard and it works great.

Hey can you post that please

Guys I found this and can confirm that it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31106386&postcount=1
The only two things I miss are
1) The "read" button that the notification has with the new mms.apk (this one only has quick reply and call)
2) bubbles/quick emoticons since I previously used the mms.apk from here:

New HTC Visual Voicemail

Has anyone taken a look at porting the HTC Visual Voice mail that's included with the AT&T M8 to T-Mobile? I'd love to have an integrated Visual Voice mail over having a separate app.

+1... Either that or has anyone figured out how to get the Google Voice voicemail notifications to display/be listened to from within the stock phone app? (i.e when you go into the Google Voice app's settings and check the option to "View and play voicemails from the phone call log")

From what I've heard Google Voice will never because it uses the stock phone app to integrate with, so I'm thinking our best luck would be this built-in voicemail :-/

You can download the tmobile visual voicemail apk
