Can anyone get the Sprint Visual Voicemail to work? I can install the app, but it wont download the voicemails. Also it keeps saying the email will download when there's data (internet) available. Has anyone been able to get it to work?

There is no way to use Sprint VVM on CM9. Switch to YouMail or Google Voice.

Is that because vvm is not compatible with android 4.0? And sprint has no phones that are 4.0

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I had flashed ICS on the Epic, and the voicemail app for one, is not installed, plus it won't download the vocemails.
Anyone has any ideas?

I installed the current version of Sprints VM apk to my system/apps directory and restored my GB data with Titanium Backup and it works fine.

voicemail isn't 'missing' it isn't a feature of AOSP. Just call your own number or use youmail or voice.

This is what I did. Change number 1 to my phone number so I can hold 1 and it calls my vm. To do this goto keypad press menu button, settings, vm settengs and then vm number.
I use Go Messaging for txt and when I get a vm it sends me a txt to notify me of vm.
Ive been using Phonefusion Visual Voicemail from the market and it works great i get emails when i get missed calls that just hang up and i get dictation visual voicemails within the app i am very pleased with it
and no i am in no way affiliated with said app just happy i have something that works right for me

Let me know if you figure this one out. I use Gvoice for my business number so can't join it with my Sprint number. Also Gvoice will only let you forward to your cell number once but it can be used as a second line meaning your second Gvoice account has to forward to a different number as primary and then your cell as secondary number.

This is actually very easy. I have the same setup. I have a Google Voice number for my business so when I wanted to use Google Voice for voicemail I set up a new account with the same google account I use on my phone. Here is the Important part! Do not use the google voice android app! In your desktop web browser setup google voice to send voicemail messages via email. I send them to my Gmail account. They come in to Gmail on my phone as transcribed emails with a button to play the actual recording if the transcription is no good. It is the best setup actually. it requires no extra software or SMS issues and it just works.
Hey this could work.
Make a nandroid backup of cm9

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.

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.

I would just call my own phone number and put in my PIN.
So since I dont have VVM, I get the text message instead?
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.
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?

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.
One major problem I'm having on all ICS builds is the voicemail issue.. Visual voicemail always crashes and i have to dial out to retrieve my voicemails. Ive tried the clear data and force stop method but once you receive a new v mail the problem repeats itself. Has anyone found a solution? I refuse to use google voice..

Sprint VVM is borked in the ICS builds. I believe its a bug with the notifications. Uninstall it and use Youmail until its fixed. Youmail is a nice standalone alternative and easy to activate and deactivate.

Why all the hate with Google Voice? Im just curious. Its come in handy a few times.
Ok thanks Ill give youmail a try.. And i google voice is just to much for me.. It records your text messages and everything uploads all your info online.. It comes in handy but that's too much control. I don't need google knowing everything about me lol.

Can you use Youmail as a replacement for regular sprint voice mail?
I have elderly parents that if they can't reach me on my cell will leave me a vm instead of texting.
On CM9, if you push visual voicemail to system>app and set permissions, it'll stop it from crashing. The new problem is that it keeps retrying to "get your information" every time you open the app then.

Why do you refuse to use Google voice? I set it up without integrating it with my sprint number and telling it not to be used for any calls. Then, I see it as the ultimate vvm because I can get messages on my tablet, desktop chrome browser, etc. If you don't let it have the additional functionality, it behaves pretty much the same as the stock vvm... Unless I'm way off base?

Im confused. I use Google Voice for my voice mail. I set it up through my account on-line. So if I dont answer a call..it goes to Google Voice . Then I get a text with the transcript or i open google voice app and get my VM. Unless you guys are talking about something different.

I don't use my GV number as my main number. I still use my regular cell number. There is supposed to be a way where google voicemail will pick up your REGULAR cell calls instead of the att voicemail.
EDIT:
I just followed the instructions here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/P2zifCPaYJE from Fluididdy and it worked. I had to change my phone to MOBILE (I had it to "home" as I was sharing it with another voice number). It's working now!
