Sprint Voice Mail Issues w/ Custom ROMs - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Every time I've used custom ROMs since my original Evo 4G, I've had issues with voice mail. It's not just visual voice mail, it's the Sprint voice mail call in and notification. The long press 1 gives me a carrier automatic message for not available and my notifications are all text messages with a hyper link and phone number to call that don't work. I have to manually call my number to access voice mail and check for messages.
I've tried the Google Voice option and did not like it. I love switching ROMs like socks and giving them all a whirl, but I cannot live without better carrier voice mail integration or a better solution for tracking missed calls, my job won't allow it.
If anyone can explain why AOSP/AOKP ROMs I've used have this problem and stock framework ROMs do not, I'd be grateful for the education and would also welcome work around suggestions so I can keep ROM hoping.

Because it's not built into aosp ... It's a carrier thing which is why you can do it on a touch wiz rom but not aokp or cm10 its not there to fix on aosp

So is basically hardwired into the framework of the ROM. Modified stock ROMs would work by maintaining carrier framework but AOSP/AOKP based ROMs would not because their framework is based off Google source code. That about sum it up?

So does anyone know of a better or alternate work around besides Google voice?

To get voicemail working on aosp, install the VVM app, go to menu and record a message, then send the message to [email protected] and wait for a return message. This will provision voicemail to work on aosp. After you do that VVM will work, with the exception you will receive a text from 9016 as well as the VVM notification, and long pressing 1 will work. For long press 1 you may need to go to the dialer > settings > voicemail and add your phone #

Awesome, I'll give that a shot! So the previous comment about vvm being tied to the stock ROM framework isn't true then?

I'm on the Avatar Rom and all I did was install the latest VM apk and it works. It has a dark theme now which is nice. Not sure if there's a block text option in the Rom or have to download a app to block the texts.

It is to an extent. It only works automatically and self provisions on stock based samsung roms, it has to be done manually on AOSP/CM based roms. The other alternative is to use a 3rd party vvm app from the playstore like youmail. But manually provisioning and setting up the carrier VM options in the call settings from dialer should get the sprint VVM working. You'll get your regular vvm noti but you'll also get a text from 9016 everytime you get a message

I'm going to flash Paranoid after my next conference call and load the vmm app to activate. I'll let you know how it works. I wonder if I can blacklist 9016 to prevent those texts from coming through as a work around.

When I used gosms I used to blacklist them, you could probably spam filter them in the stock messaging app tho

Stock messaging app doesn't have a spam blocker, but I got one that works. However, I can get the VVM apk installed but it won't work right and the activation vm I sent did not return a message to me. Also, with Paranoid I'm not able to change my voicemail number from *86, whenever I enter a new number and hit OK it changes back to *86.

Try vanilla rootbox. I prefer it over PA has the same features plus more and my vvm works on it. I actually cloned rootbox to a twiz rom, has pie, pad the themeing most of the customization and still has all the samsung features like spen and multiwindow. Once I get it updated to ma7 I'm gonna release it. I was about to release my ljc version when ma7 went ota and decided to hold off til I update

Not yet. I've been having issues with the latest update and some of my mods, and have been too busy with work to actually put enough time and effort into fixing it. Seems like every time I get it ready and update comes out before I can get mine finalized. Works been way busier this year, which is good for my wallet but bad for my hobby time :sly:

Can I put a skin on the GN?

I know most people here are feeling horrified someone would put a skin on their GN but I really really really miss having large icons on my home screen that display how many text, voicemail and email messages I have and being able to click on them and I'm in the program I need to be to actually review the messages. Or perhaps there is a program like Beautiful Widgets that can give me that feature back?
I'm not sure if it is related or not but I miss the visual voicemail on my ET4G.

OK - this sounds silly but I intalled Go with navigation - it doesn't show up in widgets or apps. I uninstalled (only an option on marketplace - can't uninstall from apps otherwise as it doesn't show.)
pretty sure the new nova prime launcher has notification on icons now. and its a real ics launcher so id go that rt.

Have you set up Google voice before installing the app? Its a service and you use the app on the phone to access it.

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!

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

How do I get visual voicemail to work with miui.

So there are numerous posts and questions on how to get sprint visual voicemail working with miui or aosp roms.
For the life of me I can't get it to work no matter what method I use.
Can someone please help who has successfully got it working on there rom please reply with the exact steps you used.
Would really like to figure out the proper method on this.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Once you have it installed, click the mic icon up top on the right, record whatever(background noise is fine) then click send and send it to [email protected] this will provision the voicemail so that it works. You will receive annoying texts from 9016 everytime you get a new voicemail but using the spam block settings in you messaging app will hide/block them

I have tried that numerous times. All I get is a bunch of 9016 messages but no voicemail ever comes through.

Unfortunately it doesn't work properly on every rom, because if 9016 texts get blocked to the phone completely, then vvm never receives the message, vvm has to receive these messages in order to function. The rom I'm running has a blacklist option that allows me to block 9016 from messaging app only, keeping 9016 coming through to phone, which vvm then picks up perfectly. Their are apps to do this, but some block it totally, which is not what you want.

*GET PAYED* Native verizon voicemail on sprint s3

Hello,
I have a flashed sprint s3 to pageplus. All the features work expect voice mail notification. I tried 3rd part apps they either are really bad and delay the voicemail notifactions sometimes a whole week or drain the battery. What I want is someone make or just give me the file for the native voicemail for the s3. I will pay for this, I use this phone for work and get atleast 5+ vm a day and I need to be notified. Thanks.

Thanks for the help so far, installed it and its a no go for verizon voice mail so far
Maybe start using Google voice if you don't find a fix soon. It will notify you by email and visual voice mail at the same time. It also doesn't use carrier notification for voice mail so you should be getting new voice mails almost instantly.
I don't know if page plus or verizon integrates with Google voice like sprint does

Scratch that it half worked, its in my apps and i can go in it and tells me the up to date notifications however when i receive a email it doesnt notify me still, i have to manually check the app. any way around this?
I did some searching around Google for information on getting page plus VM working and most answers i saw people used a app for VM. I seen someone say the reason for your problem isnt the phone, its the number.

Sprint voicemail

This isn't really ROM specific but I'll ask anyway since you're all much smarter than myself.
I am not receiving voicemail either through the visual voicemail app or when holding 1 in the dialer. I'm calling using my wife's phone and it lets me leave a message but I never receive it on my phone. Thoughts?
