CM6 Nightly/RC1 Phantom Voicemail Notification

Is there anyone NOT having this problem?
Is there any fix out there not involving deactivating and reactivating your Evo?

yea, use google voice voicemail, 100x more features

Even after using Google the voicemail notification is still there

I have retired everything. I even sent voice mail to myself through sprint visual voice mail and had two separate email notifications from the same sprint number. I give up.nothing worked.

Try clearing data in the dialer storage app. Im using GV and it's fixed the notification for me even after a reboot.

I think that Sprint also plays a big part in this, it was an issue with my Blackberry's for years.

Did you have the notification before you performed the above steps?
Also could you link me to VMM? I flashed an Hero version and it prevented my device from booting. lol

I has this problem since the first nightly, but after wiping & flashing last night's build, the notification is gone.

If you think you have it fixed try going into and out of flight mode a couple of times and it will be back.

Did that and still no voice mail notifications... I am sorry I couldnt help, seems all EVO's are different... maybe its the way we rooted our phones. I did the lenghthy longway by toast and then did the quick update root to the new 1.47...
Maybe that has something to do with it, i dont know i am not a DEV.

I tried this. I did not receive provision successful voicemail text, just bunch of gibberish text from Sprint that you get with CM6.
Notification is not fixed. Cyannogen stated that there will be a hack in the upcoming nightly to clear the message.

I have yet to get this issue, probably because day one that I got my phone, I switched my default voicemail to Google Voice, and have unanswered calls to my Sprint number forward to GVoice as well.
Screw Sprint's crapware and 1990's voicemail systems, Google Voice all the way!

I did a full data/cache wipe on the last nightly and it is gone. But I am scared to do a reset or toggle flight mode.

I flashed the latest Nightly (7/27) and the I was able to clear the voicemail icon.

Sprint vvm is linked in the op post of the cm nightly thread in the q&a forum. First PG down around the FAQ bit of the post.
Not to be indelicate but... I've been using sprint vvm rom cm6 since I first flashed it and I haven't had any persistent sms msg problems.

[Q] *86 Voice Mail notification on NON-SENSE ROMS

OK I know this has been brought up a few times in the CM threads. I get this ghost VM notification on CM6 and on all the nightlys. I also am getting this ghost VM notification on the MIUI rom. I do NOT get this notification on ANY sense ROMs I have tried.
I read this Forum everyday as much as I can. I have tried search. Every thing that comes up close to what I have going on doesn't seem to get fully answered as to why this is coming up on some phones and not others.
I flashed CM6 and a few nightlys on my Wifes phone and She has NEVER received the *86 VM notification.
I am always updated to the most current PRL, PRI and NV. Nothing I have tried will clear this message. On the CM6 ROM I can hit the clear button under the notification bar and that clears it for a little while but then the damn thing comes back.
Can anyone explain this and offer up a FIX. I know I'm not the only one.

Any one have any help on this?

I guess I'm in the club also. Same problem when I was on Vaelpak. Flashed back to stock, rooted, for a while. Now on Fresh.

Settings>Call>Voicemail> Change the number from *86 to whatever your phone number is.

Thank you Brutus for the input.
I know all about that part of the set-up. This DOES NOT get rid of the Ghost notification. I still will get a notification that I have a voice mail (and YES I have checked to make sure my VM's are cleared out).
Just FYI I use google voice when I am on CM6 or nightlys. Google Voice works great but still will not clear the VM notification.

Dont skip my post I am going to say two diffrent things . First normaly you get the notification because you received a voicemail. The stock rom has a code writen in to block that text so that you dont see the notification when you receive a voicemail.
Now Jetdr I will try to answer your question here. I think your voicemail hasnt been provisioned. Click on your VVM app and hit menu, when you hit menu you should have 3 options, compose, search and settings. If you have a 4th option that says unsent or undelivered click it. When VVM sets up, it automaticly sends a voicemail to the server to setup your VVM. If that message doesnt get sent then it probably never will. You will have to uninstall the VVM.Apk and reinstall the app. One time when I was setting up CM6 I had to install the voicemail apk several times before I got it to provision correctly. If it doesn provision a minute or two after you install it then its not going to. Not sure if this is whats causing your ghost voicemail text but I am thinking this is it. The easiest way to tell is to just click the vvm app and see if it shows four options or three. It should only show three.
If you are using google voice you dont still have the sprint VVM installed do you? If you dont have the sprint VVM installed then I am not sure whats causing your issue considering my directions to fix your issue is in regardes to the sprint vvm app.
Hope that helps.

I've tried all that and more.... nothing fixes it. I've concidered calling sprint but don't want to ruin my insurance..

Twilk... thanks so much for the response. I did all you suggested and I flashed back over to the newest MIUI ROM and I still have the VM notification. I made sure I didn't have any voice mails before I flashed. The notification will not clear even with the settings selected to not show.
Initially it has the *86 number but when I change the VM settings to my number it of course then comes up in the drop down box with my number.
The same thing happens on CM ROMs.

My notification says 4 voicemails... so I'm wondering if when I rooted my phone I had voicemails.. I don't really listen to my voicemails.. i'd rather just receive a text from someone... I just wish that I had made sure to clear my box before I rooted.. not sure if this is the reason for it... but it doesn't seem like there are many users with this problem. I'm sort of anti-twitter or I would ask cyanogen myself.. this is soo annoying! Especially since I hate voice mail to begin with.. I don't read my bills much, but I think sprint charges for voicemail.. anyway I can cancel my voicemail service? Also they charge me to keep a spending limit.. I want to call sprint and ask to cancel my voicemail..

Updates ???
Feb 3 - 2011
Anybody ever figure this one. Or do we just clear the message on each reboot?

Clear dalv. and cache,then change *86 to your mobile number then block 9016 from your sprint account.I added youmail and mine works perfect.I get txt and VM very quick.If the person that left you the voice mail is in your contacts it will show them as leaving the VM and you can just tap on there pic and it will play the ones they left you.
And I have no phantom notifications or anything odd.

[Q] SMS Issues with stock EG22

The issue that I'm having is that I can send out text messages but am not able to receive them. Had no issues today until I upgraded to deodexed stock EG22 with the purple CWM 3.1.0.1, root and Busybox 1.18.4. I've got Google Voice set up with my account so I know that texts are coming back but they aren't going to my phone. Any ideas as to what I can do? I've odin'd a few times and tried airplane mode and back to data to no avail. Please help!

It's because of Google Voice (I had this problem too).
Go to: https://www.google.com/voice, and then hit Voice Settings in the top right corner.
When you see your phone's number, they should be 2 options under it.
Check the one that says "Receive Text Messages on this phone"
As long as you have that checked, you should be able to receive text messages again without Google Voice.
Hope this helps! This problem was very annoying for me as well!

Looks like this was the issue. I didn't have issues before changing roms, do the settings change when you root the phone you think?

Nah, had nothing to do with the rom. Google Voice intercepts sms on your phone for some reason. Most likely you had just noticed it now.

[Q] Visual Voicemail

Okay, so here is my issue that did not start until I flashed EpicTouchAOSPICSMod. I have used every stock rooted ICS ROM leak for the Epic 4G Touch and I have never had my voicemail transcripts sent to via text messages. Is there a way to fix this? I've opened the visual voicemail app on my phone but there is no option to fix it.

I'm pretty certain this is a paid service through Sprint. If you want voicemail to text for free, you have to use Google Voice.

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.

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:

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!

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.
