This is a question for all of us using our phones on cricket,boost etc.
Heres the question.
Can I edit some type of file in my system in my phone that will allow me to recieve notifications when I have a new voicemail?
Im tired of using voicemail notifier app because its putting stupid shortcuts on my homescreen and avg detects it as adware. That makes me uncomfortable.
If you look at the screenshot photo I attached from a cricketusers forum. The og poster is saying that sprint uses data to recieve voicemail instead of using standard MWI (Message Waiting Indicator) which is what the voicemail notifier app allows I would assume. Is there anyway to patch the phone.apk if any and do this without the app? Thanks :thumbup:

Edit: I came across a voicemail notifier by extorian which works fine with no ads. I attached the apk itself and the apk extracted so someone can look at it. Is there any way to make this a mod or cook it into a rom?

It does work with boost and other mnvo. It contains the option of "standardmwi" (message waiting indicator) which is disabled in our phone.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
So just install the app and enable the "standardmwi" option in the app?

Thats not what im getting at. I don't want to use the app because it keeps bringing up annoying ads on my phone and home screen :banghead:. I'm looking for a workaround. At this point I guess there is no other option. Oh well

I thought it didn't beacause it wasn't advertised. But it started placing links on my home screens. I ended up purchasing voicemail notifier by amoamare from the store for .99. Go figure, no ads. Thanks for the reply alpine and thanks for the gn2 flash guid which I followed :thumbup:

Voicemail Notifier was designed to give back users there native and stock voicemail
Voicemail Notifier
WORKS PERFECT ON STOCK SPRINT GALAXY S4 !!!!!!
Description
Voicemail Notifier was designed to give back users there native and stock
voice mail features.
This is especially useful for people who have had there phones flashed /
unlocked to another
service provider. This is also helpful for Sprint users, as Sprint has removed
the standard
MWI feature. This app restores this feature.
It gives you 100% like stock functionality including voice mail count. This is not
intended
to replace your voice mail notification if its already working.
This app uses little to no resources and NO battery drain. It works 100% in the
background.
WORKS PERFECT ON STOCK SPRINT GALAXY S4 !!!!!!
Great file app

This voicemail notifier (.99 cents from amo..) used to work on my NOTE 2 from sprint flashed to ntelos. I upgraded to a NOTE 3 from sprint flashed to ntelos and the voicemail notifier only works when I reboot the phone. Since I leave the phone on all the time this has become half useless.
The first voicemail notifier has a continuous service, ads, and also detects voicemail when I have no voicemail. I had to uninstall it.
Any ideas?

Check NTELOS roms and see if they have a voicemail app. I used sprint on cricket till they went gsm. When i first started using sprint devices I had to use custom compiled roms that had the sprint qwirt option turned off then I would get voicemail notifications. Later cricket started using their own visual voicemail app so I installed it on my flashed devices.

You can use google voice for voicemail or you can use the aosp visual voice mail for cm7 on cm9.... however I don't think it works properly.

My Sprint Voicemail works fine on CM9. I restored app and data from Titanium. I disabled notification and use the text message from 9016 as my notification.
If this don't work for Visual Voicemail Plus in the market works great too.
I didn't care much for Google voice either. I have been looking for a replacement in the Market. I will give Visual Voicemail Plus a try. Thanks.

Kenny, which Sprint VVM version are you using. I've tried 5.1.0.48 and 70.
The closest I got was 70 on Alpha2 where it told me I had a voicemail, but could not retrieve it.
Thanks
The only way (at the moment) that I got Sprint VVM to work on CM9 is to backup an already functioning Sprint VVM from CM7 or a TW ROM using Titanium Backup.
Flash back to CM9 and restore VVM WITH data and it should work.
Also, for anyone wondering, I'm using Sprint Visual Voicemail v5.2.0.24

5.2.0.24 and restored data as well with Titanium so it was already provisioned. Then changed the *86 in CM9 to my phone number.

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.
I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.
I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.
I can only find the pay visual voicemail app. Sprint had an app where the voicemail would be sent to your phone and you could listen to the sound file without calling your voicemail. Does AT&T not have anything like that?
Before anyone says it, I don't want to use Google Voice since I want that to be a separate phone number.

Doh!!!!
I have used this AT&T Visual Voicemail App since the Original Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Before opening it for the first time you need to call Customer Service and have them completely reset your voicemail.
Once they reset your voicemail open your AT&T VVM App and go through the steps.
It works for me every time.
Good luck
Sorry guys. When I said free, I meant completely free. No app cost, no monthly cost (don't want to pay for visual voicemail).
To those that suggested Google Voice, did you even read my original post? I want to keep my Google number separate from my regular number. Am I missing something here as to why people suggested it despite my OP?
Anyway like I was saying, Sprint provided a free voicemail app that would allow you to listen to your voicemails without calling it up. It would send the voicemail to the app whenever you got one.

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 like to break stuff!
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.

I have given up on the native voicemail notifications u should too. I been using an app from the play store called Missed It!

There's also this notification app Missed Message Alerts works ok but not as reliable as Missed It!
I hope this helps for now. It's better than nothing.
