Sprint Visual Voice mail for CyanogenMod10 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

All,
No credit here- I just wanted to let all of those looking for Visual Voice Mail for CM10 or other AOSP roms I have tested this on L710 SGS3 for Sprint and it does work. I tried it on CM10 nightly 8/20.
http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I didnt find a thread on this so sorry if its already out there. just dwnload the Zip and flash in CWM. Some say it doesnt work in other recoveries such as TWRP. I used CWM.
you can hit thanks if you want but I did not make this... I just braved it and reported it. VVM is very important to me. Only reason to keep sprint.
enjoy

Wow, this is one of the main reasons why I stayed away from CM rom in the past. I can't live without VVM... can't stand wasting 20mins sifting thru audio voicemails with a pen and paper.
Will it update to the new version or are we stuck with the version that gets flashed? VVM just had an update in the past few weeks, i think i'm on the latest which is 5.3.0.32.

I had visual voice mail with cm10 by just making a titanium backup of it from a rom that had it, then restoring when I ran cm10.

You never had to. Google voice provides a better voicemail if you ask me. And to the folks that dont like the deep integration, you can break the tie-in and just use it for the voicemail.
But yeah... VVM is good too. I just have fewer issues with google voice.

I need the "call record" app.

There's an app section for that

I can't find a thread that details that and the Google instructions are a joke. Care to fill us in on how you did that?

No offense but, Google voice is crap IMO. Or at least it was crap a year ago. That's what I tried to use when I was on cm7 on the epic. I hated it. Vvm is well worth the 2$ a month to me. I run a business with this phone, it's gotta be reliable. Like I said it's been a year since I last tried it, but the impression it left was a disaster to my business for an entire week.

You should give Google Voice another try. Make sure you set it up from a PC.
I also run a busniess from my phone and the option for different contacts to hear a different voicemail greeting is worth the price of admission on its own.
I have my main voicemail greeting set up as my business name and then I have a different voicemail greetings for my personal contacts.
I can login to any PC and retrieve my voice mail, no phone needed. I'm not sure if Sprint VVM does that or not.
I honestly would not be able to run my business without Google Voice.

Wow guys... Ok heres the skinny. I did a TB but the backup was not there after CM10. IDK y im working on it.
#2 I tried installing .apk- didnt work, kept saying your acct cannot be verified. Thats because the supporting files are not in place in AOSP- this is the way it has been since AOSP, so idk what he's talking about.
# 3 yes it did update.
#4 Google voice is horrible- I have tried it multiple times I always get beeps in the middle of my calls and the transcriptions are terrible, best part of google voice is missed call notifications even when you didnt get the call.
Now This is a Sprint VVM thread please keep it that way and if you want to run your mouth about something else then go somewhere else. Also dont need info about other apps or whatever-
Contribute or just keep moving...

I wanted to thank ya'll for posting this. Great stuff.
Just some observations...
This is the second-to-latest Sprint Visual Voicemail application. It works well, is stable, and I love it on Paranoid Android 1.9.9
Just a note - if you're worried that upgrading to this will delete your current store of voice mail files, it will not. If all you're doing is *flashing* this on an already-rooted ROM using CMW 5.0+, you're going to be okay. I played around with it earlier today. No problems whatsoever, all stable, no SNAFUS. I don't know why some people have reported issues.
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

Does this give the weird text every time you get a voicemail like all the other CM's?

Cm flashers are always pushing Google voice, but I find it to be extremely inconvenient and complicated and the voice to text translations are horrible. VVM is the only way to fly in my opinion. I'm getting the 9016 text thing on freegs3 now, but it doesn't bother me. It's just another notification. I just delete the thread after a while. I've been flashing so much lately that the text notification actually caught a few messages while I was flashing.

This should be in themes and apps not development. Especially since you didn't make it. Plus there is already a thread on themes apps with I believe the same vvm.
I know you're trying to contribute but please post in the right place.

Yes i do still get the annoying texts.
Then maybe someone needs to work on the search function. I searched before posting so w/e dude. I pit it in development because you have to flash in recovery. This isn't just an apk

I think the important question is why is this in the development thread? Please read the rules so you understand where to post. It makes the forums much easier to navigate if everyone posts in the correct forum.

stop annoying text messages.
the Text messages can be stopped by recording a voicemail message and sending it to the following address: [email protected]

Incorrect. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE PLEASE USE THE SEARCH feature built into the xda forums. These text messages have been around since CM6, its how AOSP works. The only way to remove them is use chompsms, gosms, or something similar to block the 9016 text messages.
There is an APK in the Apps and Themes section here, install that, reboot to recovery, fix permissions, reboot phone, open vvm app, send 25 second message to [email protected] and it will provision and work. I have never had a single problem getting VVM to work since CM6 following these steps.

Voicemail won't work on new roms?

I've been on vaelpak for a while because it was fairly stable and didn't give me too many problems. But it wouldn't pick up gps and crash when I tried to update google maps. So I jumped ship to the almighty cyanogenmod. It was cool except for the fact that angry birds wouldn't install and it was using the stock camera, but I fell in love with how quick it loaded pics. Then I saw it didn't have visual voicemail and when people called it only said try again later, no message leaving. so I tried google voice, but when it asks to call to get a special provisioning number, it hangs up every time at three seconds. Finally I gave up and found frost rom, seemed like a dream.. Htc camera, voicemail app included, aosp look. Still voicemail didn't work. Still when I try to use voice it hangs up after exactly 3 seconds. What can I do? I want to eventually use cyanogenmod when 4g and gingerbread are running, so its imperative I get this fixed

With a non-sense ROM you have to use google voice. Its supposed to hang up, right after it hangs up press the back button and it should finish up the process. Then go into your settings and set google voice as your default voicemail. It will email you when you receive an email, then it will download the voicemail to the music folder of your phone and then you can listen to it only on speaker phone which is a pain in the ass.

Make sure you never blocked the text number from cyanogen roms. If you went to sprints website and blocked that number your VM wont work, go to sprints website and delete that blocked number.

Can you explain a little further what you are taliking about here. I just made the switch to CM6 but I am in sales and can not afford to miss a voice mail. I used an app to block an SMS message from 9016 but I don't think you are talking about the same thing.
I just instaled visual voicemail from titanium backup. Worked like a charm except for the annoying text messages I had to blacklist from handcent.

Not receiving text messages

Im rooted and running rom Going-green lighting 10-12-11 and sometimes i will quit receiving texts from the people im talking to, even when im in the middle of a conversation with them ill quit receiveing texts. Ive updated PRL and PROFILE but nothing helps. Anyone know why its doing this and how to fix it?

Did you install the rom fresh? Make sure there are no network issues in your area.
I had the same issue. I've got a few questions first.

3. What kernel are you using?
4. What baseband radio version are you using?

It's an issue with Google Voice. Not Gingerbread. There are a countless number of people, myself included, that have had this issue. SMS issues like this are only part of the problem as well. Some people don't receive calls. Some cant make calls. Some can't receive voicemail. Some receive other peoples' voicemail. I used to use Google Voice all the time. But this last iteration of it they really screwed everything up.

When you open the Google Voice app for the first time you have to go through a setup process. There are two ways to go through this process. One is to integrate your Sprint # with Google Voice (you automatically enter this mode when you press "next" on the first setup screen) and the other is to use just the voicemail portion without integration (this is accomplished by pressing "skip" on the first screen of the Google Voice setup screen.
I accidentally integrated my Sprint number with Google Voice when I setup the app. This was a HUGE mistake as I lost all ability to receive text messages on my phone due to Google's crappy development of sms handling of Google Voice. I spent the next 2 months scouring xda, the internet, Google forum support, Sprint forum support, Sprint tech support, and every possible resource you can think of for a solution. I found an endless number of people that were having the same, and in some case worse, problem than I. But I never found a single shred of helpful information. So I decided to just take my phone into Sprint and pray they say it's a hardware issue and give me a new phone. But my last ditch effort proved to completely fix my problem and I now receive text messages just like I used to before I installed Google Voice. So here is what worked for me.
Details: You are basically going to return your phone to bone stock as if you had just purchased the phone. So the process I explain is going to unroot and return you to stock ROM, turn S-on, and revert your Hboot back to stock. It is also going to remove your Google Voice account (trust me, this is a good thing) So please make sure you do a backup of all your data, app preferences, and apps if you wish, so that you do not lose anything.
1. Log into your Google Voice account online. (from a computer or your phone's browser)
2. In the top right of the page you will see a little icon that looks like a cog (a gear). Click that icon and select "Voice Settings."
3. Looking back at the main part of the page you'll see the details for your Google Voice/Sprint phone number. Click the "Disable" or "Deactivate" button to go through the deactivation process required to remove your Sprint number from Google Voice.
4. Go back to your phone and FULLY logout of the Google Voice app. Once you've logged out uninstall the app.
5. Go to this link and follow the rest of the step by step instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18399552&postcount=2
6. If your phone STILL does not receive SMS messages then you're at least already unrooted and can just stop by a Sprint store and have them see if it is a hardware issue. For me, unrooting somehow fixed my issue.
Once you complete those steps, if your messaging is working properly again, you can then reroot your phone and go on about your business as usual. The whole process of unrooting and rerooting my phone to fix the problem took an entire 15-20 minutes to do. Most of that time was spent verifying that things were working properly. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what exactly what the problem was. All I know is that when I unrooted to stock my phone suddenly worked again. So I decided to give Sprint the finger, reroot my phone, and get flash happy like always. I suggest NOT using Google Voice at all. At least not until they fix all of their horrendous issues with GV's sms messaging ability.

[Q] Sprint VVM

I used to be a hater of Sense ROMS, but a few months ago I decided to go with MikG3.11 and am rather pleased with it. Very fluid once you set up V6 and other tweaks. I used to use Google Voice with my decks 1.3d setup, however, I lived in a rural area and used Google Voice mainly to text on wifi since I had no signal.
I have since moved and have service everywhere and want to try and use Sprints VM app, but Idk how to get the visual voicemail to work. Do I have to actually subscribe or is there a work around?
Bump? :XX
VVM in mikg works already.... You don't need to subscribe. What exactly is the problem?
When you receive a voicemail, just open the voicemail app, and click on it. It should open it and have a GUI instead of a dialer

The Voice-to-Text feature of VVM is a subscription service. You typically get a 30-day free trial prior to subscribing, but after that, yes, some fee gets charged to your Sprint bill.
I think that's what you're asking.
Ah, ok. So all the threads I've seen is to just get the app. There is no way to actually get VVM unless you subscribe then. Shame really, I enjoyed the feature on Google Voice, but since I now live in an area with service, I'm trying to break away from it because I never did really enjoy it. Unless somebody knows how to have it alert for JUST voicemails, and not texts, as I now use a different messenger app, would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

It handles Voicemails by default. That part is free.
that part I know, but I always liked being able to take a glance at it and get a basic idea of what the message was about.... but 2$ a month... it's not bad, but I already get charged a stupid fee of 5$ for a "spending limit" that they qualified me for of which I didn't ask

Everyone calm down. These are simply system errors in relation to T-Mobile's email systems. You can get the answer straight from T-Mobile (though it takes a bit of searching).

"Unwanted text messages from +10476000000
01-22-2009 01:05 PM - last edited on 01-22-2009 01:07 PM
If you are receiving unwanted text messages from the specific number +10476000000 please read this and follow these steps.
T-Mobile has several kinds of email systems. The email system used depends on what kind of phone you have. The strange messages you are receiving means you have email setup on one specific T-Mobile email system known to T-Mobile reps as "consumer email", but your sim card is no longer in a phone that supports "consumer email".
The quickest way to resolve this is to put your sim card back into your old phone. Remove your email account from the old phone. Once your email account is removed, the consumer email system will stop sending those messages to you. You can put your sim card back into your new phone.
If you no longer have access to the phone with consumer email (Samsung Blast, Motorola W490, Nokia 6263, Samsung Behold, and several others), please contact us. A T-Mobile representative can remove your consumer email account directly from the network."
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
So, if the texts are that bothersome, you can always call T-Mobile to have them remove your e-mail account directly from the network. I'm not sure if that would cause problems on your end though. I know I need a gmail account to even use my phone (Android) that I have to sign into. Though it may be unrelated to that.
Hope this calms everyone down.

Just got off the phone with tmobile. The agent said this would sometimes occur if your account is switching "my tmobile accounts" or you just recently got a new phone/another line. Also, if your phone was tapped you'd be able to notice it due to the fact that if you ever heard of cell phone interference I.e. you get the clicking noises (like standing next to a radio and you phone rings) it would be constant. So yeah to all the f***ers paranoid about being tapped...your not, and even if your were, you could call tmobile and ask them as they are required to inform you due to the fact that tapping any kind of phone is against the FCC laws.

Google Voice

Not sure where to put this, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong area here.
I can't find anything regarding this issue on XDA. I feel like it has probably been addressed, but where, I don't know.
Since to Google Voice update, myself and others are not able to make outgoing calls using GV. This seems unique to HTC devices, M8, M9, 10. Verizon users get a "Network busy message" when dialing out. Sprint users, like myself, are getting "your number can not be completed as dialed".
Some Verizon users have been able to fix the issue by enabling or disabling advanced calling. As Sprint users, we do not have this option. Another Verizon user (M8 NuSense) was able to fix the issue by clearing data in the phone app.
This issue seems to be that with the update, GV is appending +1 to the outgoing call. When rolling back to the previous version, all is well again. This isn't a ROM specific issue, but I'm on Leedroids latest.
Google Voice help forums have been zero help to us. Someone suggested the downgrade and our issue was marked as solved. Ha, far from.
Is anyone here using the upgraded GV app? Is this a known issue? I don't suppose there is a current fix, so if nothing else, I am hoping to spread awareness. But like I said, I'm sure it's been addressed, I just can not find it. Maybe someone can just point me to the correct thread?
Thanks guys.

Some Verizon users have been able to fix the issue by enabling or disabling advanced calling. As Sprint users, we do not have this option. Another Verizon user (M8 NuSense) was able to fix the issue by clearing data in the phone app.
This issue seems to be that with the update, GV is appending +1 to the outgoing call. When rolling back to the previous version, all is well again. This isn't a ROM specific issue, but I'm on Leedroids latest.
Google Voice help forums have been zero help to us. Someone suggested the downgrade and our issue was marked as solved. Ha, far from.
Is anyone here using the upgraded GV app? Is this a known issue? I don't suppose there is a current fix, so if nothing else, I am hoping to spread awareness. But like I said, I'm sure it's been addressed, I just can not find it. Maybe someone can just point me to the correct thread?
Thanks guys.

I haven't personally tried or used this feature but if you can fix it by rolling back then why not do just that?
There may be an edit that can be made for the newer version to reflect the older version but I'm assuming you would be better reverting back to the old version for an easier solution.
Stop updates from going automatically. I do this anyway, nothing ceases to function.
Sorry this doesn't fix the actual issue but it's a sold workaround unless there's a reason for not wanting to revert back?

Rolling back is my current workaround, and I've disabled updates. As one who despises Hangouts, and greatly values GV, when the update dropped I was thrilled. The revamped UI is Also-ish and blows Hangouts UI out of the water. I'd much prefer to send SMS via the new GV app vs Hangouts. GV is my primary number and having to rely on Hangouts to send GV SMS hasn't been reliable. Half the time it won't notify my of new messages unless I completely back out of the app. I find myself double checking my phone often to make sure I've closed out the Hangouts.
I would imagine many users here are well aware and make use of the benefits of GV, so more than anything I wanted to bring attention to the issue, not so much expecting to find an answer. Also curious to see if anyone has NOT run into the issue.

Don't use GV for anything other than searching myself, unlimited texts and calls from my provider so i have no need?
What about one of the modders like team black out? They may have a modded version of the newer ones? They've got a thread on XDA (just search for it)
I use their google app and pixel launcher to have it all blacked out.
Sorry can't be of more help mate

What exactly do you mean by "calls from your provider"?

Yes, your assumption is correct. GV app > make all calls using GV. That is what is not working for me with the update. Is it working for you?

No I don't use it. I'm with EE in the UK. I have unlimited calls and texts. 10GB of data.. So I don't need it.
Afaik I can't use it here anyway.

I use it simply because I can send SMS from all devices, and I can switch providers and not care about my number. Just moved across country, went with a new provider (unlimited everything), and could care less what number they assigned me. I don't even know it lol
*AND visual voicemail

Haha Honestly, no. Not used to someone trying to be so helpful.
I found the issue to be that the ROM I was on, while it supported Sprint, carrier specific settings have not been implemented. I found this out while searching how to do a profile update. To do so, I had to flash a carrier specific ROM. Once I did that, GV worked, as well as profile update. Looks like the next update to Leedroid is slated to have these options.
Keeping my eye on that linked thread, though. I themed GV would be sweet. Thanx buddy.

One last question, unrelated, is TWRP currently able to do nandroids? I've read mixed things regarding the encrypted data partition on the 10.
