Hello,
New to the GN, I was wondering if anyone managed to successfully put Sprint's VVM on their GN?
I never noticed it's not available on the Market til now.
Why not just use Google Voice? I hate it!
I can't even tell you how many times that freakin app would just automatically disregard my calls altogether by sending them to VM OR forward me the caller on their 4+ ring....by the time I answered the call (on 'my' first or second ring) they were hanging up. This happened even after it first time I noticed it was going on and fixed the settings online on my pc (cuz it wont let you do it on the app). I had this issue at least 3x so I'm done with that app.
Thnx!
Am I the only person who wants Sprints VVM on my GN?
NO! It's one of the features I miss coming from my EVO & CM7. I had gotten so used to it, never gave it any thought that it wouldn't be on the new phone. I need some VVM app!
I'm also coming from the original Evo.......I always used VVM but actually liked Google Voice, at first, thought it was neat having a back up log of my text messages and calls available online. Unbeknownst to me though I was missing a LOT of calls and picking up late even though it was only ringing once or twice at my end. I use my phone for work so it became a problem, once I linked the problem to Voice, I got rid of it. Mind you, deleting the app doesn't do squat to the settings, so the problem continues til you DELETE the association to your number online.
I never had any problems with Sprint's VVM and I want it back!
I don't know if copying the VVM apk will work and I'd rather not fudge up this new phone so I'm here asking if anyone else has tried it?!?!?

Hey guys!
I have browsed through many threads about getting Sprint's VVM to work on Cyanogenmod, and I can't get it to work.
I've installed two different versions of the program, got the text messages from 9016 saying that it was successful, changed the *86 to my phone number, (with and without the *), and cannot get it to work. AND, Google's VM doesn't work either.
Do you guys have any input? I need this to work, and I'm having a heck of a time!
Thanks!!!
Anybody know? I still haven't been able to figure out how to fix this, and have been missing many calls while at work, and not getting any voicemails!
Good luck on getting an answer. It would be real nice if some one could start a thread on how to do this.
The answers are buried in THOUSANDS of posts throughout the CM threads.
For those of you all that respond with "just use Google voice"... some of use don't like Google Voice.

I have it working on CM6 Final. I flashed SPRINT_VVM-signed.zip and installed Sprint_VVM.apk and it worked fine for me. I still get the text notification, but the Voicemail app still works like it should. I know that I can block the texts from appearing, but they haven't bothered me enough to do so. I am attaching the files I used, I hope they help.
Sorry couldn't help ya, I had both VVM and GV working before settling on GV.
I simply cannot get Sprint's VVM to work. Nothing worked.
I finally got Google Voicemail to work though! I've been trying to get this to run on my Hero since last year!!!
I like it, and it WORKS... So that's good enough for me!
Had Evo since day 1. Rooted right away and have been ROM-happy, flashing my favorite as developers release them. Went from Fresh to Myn to MIUI and am now on my favorite, most stable and reliable rom: Deck v1.
Problem:
9 days after switching to Deck I stopped receiving sms messages completely. This is not an issue of the notifications for sms being turned off, nor is it a ringer issue. The text never comes through. I can send texts without issue, no problem.
Tried to fix this in these ways:
•*I made sure I wasn't blocking any texts; this can be done at sprint.com > my account.
• I called sprint so they could remove/re-add my sms messages which usually fixes this type of issue.
• I restored a nandroid backup taken at a point when texts were working.
• I tried restoring the stock image - then updating profile. Still wouldn't receive.
• Obviously rebooted 35 times throughout the course of all this (i have to say it, somebody will ask )
• Full wipe etc.
Nothing worked.
Called Sprint knowing they couldn't do a damn thing and would probably stop listening if they knew my phone was rooted. Long story short they sent me in to get a new Evo. Was worth a shot, I wasn't convinced it was a hardware issue (how could it be, sms is not dedicated to a particular piece of hardware in the phone) but I went in and did the swap.
New Evo, unrooted, texts worked! but wait, that's not all.
9 days after rooting again and installing Deck v1 - poof - no incoming texts. The exact same issue.
WTF is going on here?? There is nothing in logcat, absolutely nothing happens on my side when somebody sends me a text.
Google voice texts are a good emergency workaround but I want my native texts. Is this a deck issue?? anybody else getting this? i;ve ggogled for weeks now and nobody has come accross this particular issue. Also this issue wont fix itself. i went a almost a week the first time without noticing i wasn't getting texts.
Have you tried a ##786# reset? You will need your MSL code. Also, it will wipe all data from your phone, so take that into account. When you ##786#, let the list load and then hit "menu", and "reset".
When I first flashed to a GingerSense rom, I lost the ability to send/receive MMS and I was not able to connect to 3G at all. 4G and WiFi worked, but the 3G was nonexistent to my phone. After calling Sprint several times, one tech told me to reset my phone this way. I told him I would have to call back because if my phone was going to get wiped, I had to back everything up first and it would take a while. After I backed up all my app/data with Titanium and made a NAND back-up, I did it and it got my phone working right.
Hopefully you get the same result. Good luck.

Flashed back to a Sense/stock rom to do just that. Didn't help.
Whenever somebody has issues like mine it usually involves sending AND receiving. For me it's strictly receiving.
People also center these issues around MMS. Sending MMS is not an issue for me. I can send everything. I can't receive a damn thing.
That certainly is an oddity. I've been using decks 1.2 since C, and am currently on Z. I've never had any issues with not receiving sms messages (as far as I know...I suppose it would take someone to tell me that they sent me a message and I never replied, which I haven't got yet) I have never really seen this issue, except on my buddies stock hero a couple weeks. His problem was that he had never deleted any of his texts, so literally had like 10k messages or more in there. Once I was finally able to get all his damn messages cleared out (took forever...he wouldn't let me factory reset it) he was able to start receiving texts again. I'm sure that's not your problem, because you've been flashing and wiping, surely your texts have been cleared out...unless you restore them all. That's the only time I've seen that. I would've suggested maybe it was an issue on sprints end, which would not be unheard of, but if that was the case it wouldn't have worked on your new unrooted evo when you got it.
I saw in deck's thread that you already deleted the telephony.db directory, and that had no affect for you. I really wish I had some suggestions for you, but that is just odd. My first guess would've been a problem with sprint.
EDIT: Also, are you using the GV and Sprint integration? I don't use it, but I saw that if some settings weren't correct with that (from the google voice website) that all messages will go thru google voice, and not thru the native messaging app. Could that possibly have anything to do with it, maybe?
If you have Sprint/Google Voice integration, that is the problem. There are some funky things going on with Google Voice lately. Can't send messages from Gmail to a Google Voice number and have it register as a cell sms. The message is automatically sent to and only goes to the Google Voice Inbox.
I've had some sms trouble with all ROMs, not simply Deck's. It sounds identical to your issue. Google is the only constant between all ROMs. My problem was resolved by going into Google Voice settings, unchecking "Receive text messages on this phone," saving changes, then rechecking it and saving those changes.
I have lost the ability to receive sms numerous times. I am convinced it is a Google/Sprint integration issue.
I cant get text messages either. I can send all day and im testing, flashing roms, recoveries, I just unrooted as a final solution (so i thought) and nothing. Same crap. If anyone has a fix or if the fix is on another thread let me know please, thanks. Other wise im just gonna root back and say F! text messages
If you're on MIUI and didn't wipe, when you flashed it can cause these issues. Try to reflash, after doing a full wipe.
Searched for a similar problem and I wasn't able to find anything that matches what has been happening to my wife's EVO. Recently I installed CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143049
I also updated her to the latest radio/PRI/WiMAX/etc. versions when I did this. So that could also be the issue.
It seems that ever since I worked on her phone, she hasn't been able to receive emails, and she can't call or text me. I can't call her either. When she tries to call me, the phone vibrates and she hears the words "Enter the number you wish to dial, then press the pound key." When she enters my number, it says it can't understand. When I try calling her, it just doesn't connect at all and stops trying after about 30 seconds.
We're on the same Sprint family plan and I have an Epic 4G. Her sister, who is also on our family plan with a Samsung Moment, can call her just fine. Far as we can tell, it's only a problem between our two phones. So it might be a Sprint thing. But then again, she's not getting emails either, even though her data works fine for other purposes.
She's at work right now. When she comes home I am going to roll her back to the old radio, WiMAX, PRI, and NV versions (15.00.11.19, 27167 R01, and 1.90.003, respectively). If that doesn't work, I did make a nandroid backup from before I did anything. But her old ROM was kinda buggy (EViO 2, which was okay except it would randomly turn 4G on) and CM7 is supposed to be good.
Hopefully rolling back her radio versions will fix this; if not, is there something else I can do to fix it or prevent it from happening again if I install another ROM?
EDIT: Well, I fixed the email issue. That one was simple and silly - for whatever reason, her Google account was not set to automatically sync email. With that out of the way, I only had to worry about the phone call issue.
Her dad tried to call her several times yesterday and it would go straight to voicemail without her phone ringing. After rolling back her radio version, it seems to be working fine. Time will tell. Now the only issue is that Google Voice has decided to take over as the default SMS app, even though Handcent is set as the default. But that's a subject for a different thread.
Anyone else having a persistent "new voicemail" notification that won't go away?
It's been there ever since I popped in my T-Mobile SIM.
I've looked at some other forums with other phones with the same problem. On a CM ROM, there's a clear all notifications. On some other phones, there's a setting which isn't available in our phone settings.
I remember having the same "problem" when I bought the Nexus S. I'm getting my Galaxy Nexus tomorrow so I don't know 100%, but on Gingerbread, you'd have to go into Settings >> Call menu. Inside there was a "clear voicemail" option, or something to that extent. Again, I'm sorry I don't know about ICS.
Also what you can do is if you have no voicemails, call T-Mo and ask them to remove voicemail from your account altogether, and then add it back. Of course you'd have to re-record your greeting and all that.
Yeah that's what all the prior forum posts said. Too bad that option is not here in ICS.
Well, I'll try leaving a message and erasing it to see if that does anything.

That happened to me just the other day when I got a new sim from T-Mobile since my previous one was ~4 years old.
Anyways, make sure you delete all of your voice mail messages. Then call yourself from another phone and leave a message! Go back on your phone a delete it, that solved it for me
EDIT: ...lol didn't notice that you said that's exactly what you were going to do
Well, exactly what you suggested (as I was doing it) worked =)
ALSO, because I was installing apps and such on the phone for a few days before I popped in the SIM, I ran grooveIP. Probably because of this, all my voicemail numbers were set to the google voice voicemail number (for unanswered, unavailable, or busy). Not sure if that had anything to do with it, since the voicemail notification was from the TMob 805 voicemail #. Regardless, I switched them back to the Tmob one (had to do this manually).
And after calling and leaving myself a message, it resolved itself as soon as it got notification of the new voice mail (didn't even have to delete it).
Thanks all.
Ok, So I've dug up my old Palm Pre so that I can activate it on sprint and clear my voicemails out which will hopefully clear the voicemail indicator on CM7/CM9/MIUI that I seem to be stuck with.
My Question is, when I go back to activate my Epic after clearing the voicemail do I need to be on a stock rom to do the activation? My gut tells me that CM7/CM9/MIUI would be a no go. Do I need to go back to BML/stock or would something like CleanGB MTD activate ok?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: So I went ahead and tried to swap to the Pre, but the website said it would require a plan change... Not fooling with that... Called *2 and the girl said she reset my vm indicator. Maybe that will help.
Yeah I'm having the same issue too. I already tried contacting sprint to see if they could clear my voicemail inbox, but instead they freakin got rid of my 3g, forcing me to flash an ei22 rom to reactivate my phone.
I just want to know if anyone has found a way to either block it, or just hide it, in cm9.
Any suggestions?

not sure if it will work but you can access your VM from a landline by calling your mobile number when your VM answers hit * then just enter your passcode of you have one then you should beable to clear your messages that way

I've tried that. Unfortunately since I use google voice leaving a message on my VM would not affect the notification since it's from Sprint.
I just wish there was a way I could contact the CM team (not the epic devs, the official team) to have them incorporate a "hide voicemail notifications" feature.
Ok, I had this problem before. I called *2, and just told them that I needed to do an esn swap to my non android phone to clear my voicemal, cause I had a phantom message that wouldn't go away, and that I would be calling back shortly to swap back to my epic. They did it with no problem. I used clean gb mtd rom on my epic. Now I no longer have the phntom voicemail.
Crazy thing is, when the old phone was activated, I called and left myself a message, but when I called to delete my voice mail, that was the only message in there.
Don't worry about the plan change thing. Just briefly explain your situation and all should be ok. I am on a shared plan with 4 lines though. Not sure if that would make a difference, but I think you should be fine either way.
Anyway, I know its a big pain, but it was worth it for me, cause that icon was pissing me off!
