Sprint VVM?

I'm getting notifications in the notification bar saying there is an update available for Sprint Visual Voicemail. I go to download the update and no matter what rom I am on there is a package parsing error. How do I fix this?

If you aren't on a stock rom (rooted or unrooted) you will get the parsing error, I learned this the hard way. You could also look for the updated apk for it, but will end up getting texts about new voicemails. Unless you plan on be forced to like handcent good luck on figuring out how to stop the texts.

It's not worth the update... All it does is change the layout of voicemails a little and force a brought background.
I absolutely abhor bright backgrounds!

True... That would have been smart! Lol
I'm going to downgrade to the old version anyway, because the new version really only makes the solicitation for Sprint transcription larger and more in-your-face. There's not even a button to hide the ad anymore!

What don't you give Google Voice a try for voicemail. It is soo much better IMO.

Actually you don't need to use Handcent to ignore the texts. Just get an app like Super Private Conversation, There are others too I just use that one and have for years because it works. It allows you to block Numbers and send them to a separate call log or delete them all together. The best feature is I can use whatever text App I want.

I did the switch to google ... but I found that if you dont check the settings it sets the reject calls and makes you press 1 too accept the call ... otherwise it goes directly too voice mail and is supposed too act like a call screening feature ... which was driving me nutso ... and I dont remember seeing anything about that setting when setting up the google voice .. the only thing I remember was it said this will erase all your

Google Voice for Voicemail issues
Hey all-
I am running Blazer Rom ICS build on my Samsung, and ever since I update to it I both:
1) keep getting the Sprint Voicemail update notification.
& worse,
2) can't use Google Voice for my voicemail. Google Voice used to lead you through a step-by-step installation process where you could choose it as your voicemail and you dialed a special #. Can you still do this? Does anyone know the # you need to dial?
Thanks,
Mike

Where is this post going? And to the OP, you're welcome.

Messaging apk and custom roms

I know this might sound trivial but this is the only ROM I've seen with customized messaging app that includes pop up, my question is how come no one includes a way in the ROM or app to set individual contact notifications without downloading another app

First of all, I have no idea what rom your talking about. I'm assuming ANYTHING based on CM10 or AOKP code.
Second, stock android has never had custom notifications for individual contacts. And to do this someone would actually have to code it! Maybe they'll get around to it, maybe they won't. Maybe it never crossed their minds because they don't use such a thing, or maybe because there's apps for that! but for native support, it has to be something a dev actually wants to have.
Not trying to be a douche either, just informing :highfive:

Sorry codename android 3.6.0 but yeah I find it really handy to know who is texting you without picking up the phone

I am also running CNA 3.6.0 but I do not know where the option to set custom notification tone for individual contact. Can you help me please?

Honestly no where, to achieve this you need to go to messaging settings turn off notifications, go to play store download sms popup and enable it and then find contact notifications.

MIUI also includes sms popups in the stock app

Yes but those pop UPS don't support individual notifications as far as I know

Saving mms

Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....

Messaging app on stock problems

Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. It looks like an issue with ICS on ION. Maybe the update will fix it.

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.

I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.

I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.
