Im trying to decide if I want to go back to google voice on SGS3. I had google voice on the epic because some of the roms the stock vm didnt work. My question is the stock vm good enough that I dont have to load gv.
Gv, stock vm charges for transcription and you can't check your vm on the computer with stock

I like GV because while I use the stock messaging app, gv still backs up all my text messages. So when I flash a new rom for the umpteenth time today, I never have to worry about backing them up

I have been a long time user of the sprint voicemail app. I have decided to go ahead and stick with Google Voice after trying it out. I went thru the procedure and have it integrated with my sprint phone now. My question is can I go ahead and uninstall/remove the sprint voicemail app or is it still needed?
It is not needed. Assuming you are rooted I would back it up using titanium backup just in case you want it back in the future before you remove it. Or you could just freeze it
Thanks for the info. I removed the stock app. I have one other question now. Since I integrated google voice with sprint, all of my text messages are going to google voice now. How can I stop that so that I can use handcent again?
I've always used GV as well, and I've always uninstalled Sprint's Voicemail app with no problems. I tried doing that Sprint/Google Voice integration, but like you said all your messages come through to GV and I was unable to switch this back. I even emailed their support and never heard back...I've switched back to the non-integrated installation and haven't had any problems.
Try going to settings, then manage applications and find Google voice. Once you find it try hitting "clear defaults". Now go to your people app or contacts and select a random contact and find the option to send a text. There should be a pop up that ask you which application you want to text through and choose always use the stock sms app.

After doing some searching I have found that once you integrate sprint to google voice you cannot use any other app for the text messaging regardless of what you select as your default.

Glad I didn't integrate mine yet! I love the idea of having 2 separate numbers linked to the same phone that share the same voicemail lol. I pass out my gv number alot because I don't want certain people to have my regular number. #winning

Searched the forum for a solution but couldn't find one that addresses the one on the EVO.
Rooted, 7.1 Stable. I no longer get voicemail. The phone instead brings up this cryptic SMS sayting someone called and the message is like:
//ANDROID: (someone's tele) has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to lisen MMSN, some long serial number to something.
When I do call that number it asks to setup the VM, I've done this a few times already.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can either restore the sprint vvm from a sense rom, or you can install google voice,
I used Google voice. At least sprint makes it easy because they partnered with Google, so you can keep your phone # and still get all of the google voice services.
The HTC Sense/Sprint file is called Voicemail T5.1.0.60. After restore, the VM works perfectly. It took a couple of backups of all things called voice.... to get it right.
Awesome. Thanks.
Just flash a rom with working VVM like Miks Rom and backup VVM using TB or Root Backup and when u flashback reinstall it using your TB but first install the apk and the data it sometimes freezes when u do both at the sametime

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?

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
Go back to stock
Backup your VM with tb.
Restore your backup of cm9
Restore your backup of VM with tb.
Enjoy!!!

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.

The Visual Voicemail is super accurate most of the time...

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?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547780
I have been jumping from different versions of ICS roms and was unhappy with all the bugs. Somewhere along the line sprint vvm stopped working. I decided to odin back to stock el29 with root. Sprint vvm still doesn't work. I also don't get any notification of my voice mails. I can get voice mails by holding down the #1 key, but have no idea if I have any. How can this happen on a stock el29 rom? I did try out google voice and it works, but i just like sprints better. Could google voice be blocking something? Also, last week people were telling me that my caller id was showing some strange number instead of mine. Any thoughts at all???
*edit*
I also updated my prl and profile after the odin to el29 still no go.
Sounds like you've linked your number with Google voice. You have to unlink it to get vvm working. Try Google.com/voice to get to settings

That was it. Thanks man!
I am having the same problem, no voice mail. I'm not with Sprint I'm on Ting. I have the Google Voice app on my phone. I wanted to use it mainly to do free texting and therefor I don't have my voice or voice mail routed through GV. I cannot unlink my cellphone from GV (Google won't let me) but my phone is not activated on GV.
Edit:
After looking on my account for my carrier I found a settings page that had different options for my phone and voicemail wasn't checked off so I checked it and now I have voicemail.
Does anyone know what phone.apk i can use to get my voicemail ... running boostmobile... thanks
