Since installing Cm6 my visual voicemail has not worked

I don't understand it. I even did a nandroid back to my old ava v6 and I still get the text notification. How do I fix this?

visual voicemail not working?
It should work, assuming you installed all the nice Sprint apps.
I still get the text notification?
There is that clear command that gets rid of notifications, but no real fix in CM6. I suggest you stick to a ROM based on the latest OTA.

Problem solved
Some suggested to use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected]
this worked
Thanks

Did you get three text messages after you sent that out. I went in there and put that as a contact to send to and hit record and stop and sent it. I then received three text messages im immediately after that. Anyone else?

Never got any text messages after that. Just all of my voicemails popping up about 1 minute after I sent it.

650-603-0000 sms instead of voicemail

So earlier in the week I flipped a setting in my handcent messenger app to handle mms and sms messages. I also created a user account so I could send people larger files via text with a url link.
Not sure if that had anything to do.with what has since been happening, but now I no longer receive voicemails through my default voicemail app, but now I get a text message with this 650-603-0000 phone number in it to retrieve my messages. As if that doesn't suck enough, the [email protected] number doesn't even work so I.have to dial 611 to get my vm.
Can anyone help??????? Please??? I.have been through the system settings a million times over, reviewed everything in handcent before finally changing back to stock presets with no luck and then uninstalling the handcent app with no luck. I really dont want to have to wipe and rebuild, but I'm at a dead end and this is killing me.
If you can help, I would be very appreciate. Thanks....

I'm having the same issue. Any luck with a fix?
HTC Evo Root gingerbread-evo-deck-1.3d

Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

i am still having the same problem with my evo, spoke with support at sprint and they said there was an issue with the latest update. No fix yet

Here is the fix
Ok i had the same problem and went round and round. My visual voicemail was not downloading messages in addition to the text. Option 1 took care of it for me.
Re-activate your Visual Voicemail account. This will force the Voicemail client to send an activation message to the Server again. Once re-activated, all pending messages should be able to download again.
Option(1):
- Go to - Settings/Applications/Manage Applications (be sure you are looking at "all")/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean
Option(2):
Use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected] (you must have a couple of seconds recorded)

I am having this same issue. Did you guys find a fix ?

Thanks. I was looking for the solution to resolve the same issue on my EVO 3D for few months. Finally found the answer here. Option 1 worked for me.
Thank you very much....

Updated fix
This works but as of 6/20/2012 you not only have to clear the data, but also you have to uninstall the update. Then make a test voicemail, it should go through, after that update the app to the newest software and you are back up and running!
Thank you local sprint rep!!!

Leave it to moders and hackers to find the best and most information for fixing things. Geeze i wish sprint was smart enough to learn these things.

Hi! I'm trying to remotely troubleshoot for my father. Could you please explain what you mean by "uninstall the update" and "update the app to the newest software"? What application are you referring to, and where can I access it? Thanks so much!

Sprint Visual Voicemail APK & Zip

I was looking for this and noticed many CM users looking for this as well, I tried on ICS AND CM10... it works.
Found zip (attached), flashed and it too works.

What's the version number on yours? I've got this version installed on CM9 and CM10 and it works beautifully.

I've used this apk on aopk, cm10 v5.0 & v5.1
And it works. Just install as you do any regular apk. Personal, I used rom toolbox, located the file and installed fined.
Yes, I do get 9016 text, but I barely get vms, so maybe 1 text per day doesn't bother me. It may be a CM think, but if I find a better apk, I'll update OP.

Yeah, I get the texts, too. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them if you want to use Sprint VVM.
I don't mind them. They can actually come in handy sometimes if you restore the VVM to a new ROM and it doesn't notify you of new voicemails right off the bat. The text still shows up when the notification doesn't. lol

Fixing the sprint visual voicmail apk to with with CM10
you need to record a voicemail, and then forward it to the following email address from within sprint visual voicemail: [email protected]
This will stop the text messages and sync your voice mail.

do you still receive the 9016 text everytime you get a voicemail?
---------
Edited
Didn't read the previous posts very well. When I was using the Optimus S with CM7 they had a Mms.apk that removed the 9016 text. Those can be really annoying. I like VVM better but right now I have to stick with google voice. I'm only using it for my voicemail and I don't get any texts so it works.

Exactly how do you forward the recorded voicemail? I tried sending it with Gmail and got:
Code:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
DNS Error: Domain name not found

Record it with the VVM app and then hit send. Compose -> Record -> Send to that address, all done within the app.

All I have is the microphone button in VVM. I record the message, then I only have the Share button with Bluetooth, Gmail, Skype, Voicemail, etc. I tried Gmail before with the above error message. When I try Voicemail with the email address you gave, the Send button stays grayed out. I suspect that it needs a phone number there.

hmm that's weird. I don't have VVM right now but that's how I reprovisioned it before.

Here's a solution THAT ACTUALLY WORKS because I just fixed it!

I recently switched from a TW based ROM to CM10 (and now PA2). I reinstalled the latest version of Sprint's VVM app which worked fine except for the annoying text message notifications from 9016. I searched all over the Internet for a solution. I read quite a few, "oh here's all you need to do ...worked for me...problem solved!" posts which frankly need to be deleted so others don't stumble across them and waste their time. Here's what I know to be true from my own research and testing using MY SAMSUNG EPIC 4G TOUCH aka Samsung Galaxy S2:
Texting "Block 9016" to 9999 - with or without the quotes - doesn't suppress text messages from 9016. You *will* get a lovely text from Sprint confirming that messages to and from 9016 are now blocked, but they won't be...because they're not supposed to be.
Recording a voicemail message - whether it's 5 seconds or 25 seconds - and sending it to "[email protected]" doesn't suppress text messages from 9016 - something you would have quickly discovered had you finally figured out that instead of sharing via Gmail/Email after you hit the share icon - which as Jim knows only resulted in a message not delivered notice - you instead needed to click Share Message and then in the To: field type [email protected], and then hit the return key on the keypad and then the send button. Had you been successful, you would have received yet another lovely text message from Sprint confirming that your voicemail service has been reprovisioned. As it turns out, reprovisioning your service doesn't suppress texts from 9016...because they're not supposed to be suppressed.
It occurred to me that Sprint needs to send a text from 9016 to alert the VMM app to download new messages from the VMM server. I don't need to see it on the MMS app because the VMM app sends a notification to the status bar. My hunch is that something in either the TW based ROM or the TW stock MMS app was coded to suppress texts from 9016. That "something" is apparently missing on the CM10 and/or stock MMS apps.
The good news is that "something" is not missing in the Handcent SMS app available for free on Play Store. I downloaded and installed Handcent and then disabled the stock MMS app. I didn't even have to add 9016 as a blacklist number. The Handcent developers baked the suppression fix into their code sometime in 2011 according to the release notes on their website.
Try Handcent and say goodbye to annoying texts from 9016 and say hello to pretty colors and cool features (neither of which you probably care about but it's free and I'm happy).

In ChompSMS just blacklist the number and its gone

Beginning with Handcent 3.9.8 - which was released over a year ago - the Sprint VVM 9016 fix is baked into the app itself, so there is no need to create a blacklist entry. Just download and install Handcent SMS, disable the stock Messaging app and it's gone!

Works great me for thank you

For those of us who like the stock messaging app, and dislike clunky third party programs, or just like aosp, this doesn't help
I try to avoid solutions that say "Have a small problem with this otherwise perfect app? Use a completely different app!"

Nice! Thanks man! I just switched to an MIUI JB rom and it I really wanted my VVM back. It works on there fine btw.

Installed on CM 10 10-24-12 nightly build JB 4.1.2 Samsung epic 4g. Sweeeeeet! Thanks for this!

I can confirm that this works on CM10. I just installed the stable CM10 and then this APK, works without issue.

I was having similar phone issues in general. Go to System Updates in setting and press "Update Profile". Go through and update everything and see if it helps fix it.

Although you should fix it before you do anything else, I use GoSMS's Go pic feature. It sends fast than a mms, and phones without GoSMS can receive it to. I don't really know how it works, but I send pictures to my friends from it all the time, and they own iPhones.

Voicemail Probelems

I found the sprint visual Voicemail app in the applications and theme sections and downloaded the app. To make sure my Voicemail is working properly I called my phone from my house number and when Voicemail kicks on it says they are unable to automatically find the voicemail box for my number. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have searched through the threads and didnt find anything addressing

Are you stock or running custom ROM? Try to update your profile or pull battery, wait a minute, reinstall. If that doesnt do it, compose a 2-3 second message in voicemail app, send it to [email protected]

Thanks everyone, I'm running CM 10 on my Sprint SIII and was FINALLY able to restore my Sprint VM using these directions. I've been attempting various methods unsuccessfully for the last week . Great work.
