LG G3 Verizon CM12.1 current release VoiceMail Icon issues - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not 100% sure if it's a configuration issue or a ROM issue. I don't get that many voicemails so I don't know exactly when the problem started (I install about every other nightly - currently running 8/1).
Problem - when someone leaves me a VM, instead of getting the icon alert on the top I get an sms. When I delete the VM or listen to it, I get another SMS. The SMS for new VM looks like this
//VZWVVM.SYNC:ev=NM;id=7;c=1;t=v;s=<phone number of the caller here>;dt=03/08/2015 10:30 -0700;l=9;dev_t=5
The sms for the deleted or listened message looks like this
//VZWVVM.SYNC:ev=MBU;dev_t=5
Any thoughts or ideas as to what could be the cause of this and how to fix it??? It is somewhat annoying.

I too had this issue when running any ROM other than stock ROMs; I came across your post searching for a solution. When I was running CM12.1, I started using a 3rd party for voicemail. There is an app in the Play Store that will redirect your voicemail forwarding number. It was okay and I ended up switching back to stock for the camera.
I'm interested in going back to non-stock, so if anyone has a fix, that'd be great.

Missing random text messages and Calls - ROM or Hardware?

Hey fellow XDAer's,
I am constantly missing text messages from friends and every once in a while, I see that I get a voicemail with no missed call on the phone. I am wondering is it is the ROM I am running or just the phone.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you fix it?
I was thinking about dropping my ROM back down to a stock ROM (rooted) and see if that helps. Does anyone have any good suggestions on a bone stock rooted rom to test?
Thanks!
Hey,
I have had this issue before and honestly it was neither, it was just the sprint service, I had bars but I was missing text calls etc and I called the sprint store to have them tell me it was just an outage. So most likely that is what is causing it.
Now to counter this I use google voice so either I normally get my calls and text through one or the other or both if data and 1x is working properly!
I wish you the best of luck and hope you figure it out!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
I was missing random text messages until I started using Ghostly SMS. Since I started using that a couple of months ago it has recovered over 100 text messages.
which rom are you on?
roms like energy are notorious for not getting sms through. i have had mannnyy people think im ignoring them because texts arent coming through i will usually switch to voice intergration and solves it cuz everything is going through voice.
and/or see if there are certain radios that work better for the rom you are on. sometimes that will help too

[Q] EVO Not receiving texts

I am a noob to posting but not new to reading this forum nor rooting.
I have an EVO 4G and just flashed AOKP build 33 with GAPPS 3-17.
I have Google Voice installed and have used it with no problems for almost a year now.
Just yesterday when I flashed AOKP build 33 my phone quit receiving text messages. I still receive them on my Google Voice account on my phone and on the computer.
GV is set to have my text messages go through my text client and my text client is set to the default messaging app.
I have tried flashing to recovery nandroids of previous Roms and states of Roms and that did not solve my problem.
I didn't see anyone at the AOKP thread who has had the same problem.
What can I do? Please help.
*apologies for posting this if there is a better place for it to go but after making it through all of the results on my searches about this with no solution I am extremely frustrated and need a solution.
Have you tried uninstalling GV to see if that solves the problem? My phone did the same thing for a while with google voice and I never understood why, but uninstalling GV took care of my issues. You will probably get the text messages a few hours to a few days late, or at least that is what happened to me

So do I need to do more than just uninstall and re-install the app? i.e. the whole thing with un-linking my number and voicemail and everything?
If you uninstall it, I def would suggest doing the full uninstall procedure,..the unlinking, etc.

Giving it a shot now. Thanks.
I'm worried though, without GV I will have no option for text messages.
How's that? What did I miss? You don't have a stock messaging app, or you don't have a sprint phone #?

no dice
I disabled my GV account and un-linked it from my number, restarted and still no incoming texts. Any other ideas?
Make sure somehow you have the latest radios and such maybe? Have someone text you again now that its all undone and see if the new message will go through. Like I said, even after disabling GV, it took 3 days for the lost texts to come through.

I've had someone texting me throughout the process to no avail. I am working on updating the profile and the PRI/PRL but have to load a sense ROM. Is that the same as the radios? Haven't really dealt with radios before.
Any towers being worked on in your area? I've had no incoming texts for 4 weeks now, due to a tower upgrade (LTE). The only way I could get a text was to make a phone call (typically called my voicemail when I wanted to check for texts). Supposedly this is done as of today...
Worth it for the LTE though!

Thanks guys. I ended up just flashing a MikG ROM and it corrected what ever was wrong. Then flashed my AOKP ROM and we are back up and running. Still have no idea what it was.
I'm having same issues, ive been switching back and forth between ROMS to see if i can find one that works. I removed Google voice from my phone, and deactivated it online to see if that fix it. but not working still.
I still only get texts when i make a phone call.
Mik G worked for me as well
Those who are having the problem, are you restoring a backup of GV with data?
Remember, especially with Google apps, there are a lot of updated features for ICS and backups from Gingerbread will not work efficiently. It is best to start from scratch with these apps, especially seeing that Google voice pull most of its data from the cloud... no real need to restore data with it.

Disappearing text messages

I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,
var
I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.

"Message not sent" error :(

Hey everyone. I'm having a big problem w/ my 16GB GSM Galaxy Nexus running bigxie's rooted, deodexed 4.1 rom, and I'm hoping you guys can help me.
Whenever I send a message, I get a "Message not sent" error in the notifications bar, and a red triangle w/ an exclamation point appears under the text of the text message. I have T-Mobile and I have FULL signal bars. I can make calls and this texting issue is the only problem I'm having. I installed this rom a few days ago and this problem just suddenly started today. When I send a text with the "Messaging" app, the area code (I live in the US) of the phone number disappears. So if the number in my phonebook is stored as:
"1 (areacode) sevendigit-phonenumber"
It instead shows up like this after I select the contact:
"1 sevendigit-phonenumber"
If I try and send a text by selecting the contact from the "People" app, it works just fine.
Last night I flashed the Popcorn kernel, but I then I also sent a text and it worked. I thought maybe somehow this might have something to do w/ the kernel or a rom (both unlikely), so just in case I re-flashed the STOCK 4.1 this time (the first rom, the one that appeared on ROM Manager the day of the Google I/O). Now I'm back to stock Jelly Bean everything (including kernel, and also the Jelly Bean baseband) but I'm still getting the problem. I tried clearing the "Messaging" app's data and cache, but nothing fixes the problem. I have a strong feeling that the cause of the error is because the "Messaging" app removes the area code from in front of the phone number, but now I can't remember if that's normal (did that happen in ICS?, did it happen before in JB?, I don't remember).
Has anyone else encountered such an error? Please help me.
I too am experiencing this issue running bigxie's 4.1 ROM on my 16 GB Galaxy Nexus.
I hope someone has a solution!
I think I may have fixed the problem for myself. It seems like in both the stock JB and also bigxie's rom, the "Messaging" app is doing some sort of mishandling of the phone numbers. Try changing one or some of your phone numbers in your contact list to this format: "(307) 456-7895" <-- parenthesis around the area code, then a space after the parenthesis, then the seven digit number with a dash (-) after the third. Try changing this format on Google Contacts, not on your phone. Then sync the contacts on your phone.
Try this with just one contact that wasn't previously working and please let me know what happens.
I'm having the same problems with the same rom and tried the same steps to fix it but it didn't work for me. Also tried going back to cm9, no luck.
Search for the setting for something like ##info#* or whatever. I blew mine out when I flashed a new rom (not the roms fault i did it not knowing better). Don't have time now to look but there are important settings for sending sms.

Thanks I figured it out. I had a hard time finding this info so ill re post it here for any one who needs it. It solved all my problems.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14916-howto-sms-centre-numbers-if-your-gnex-wont-send-messages/
Hi
This damned *#*#4636#*#* menu!!!
I know, I shouldn't be messing with what I don't know but I moved from an iphone so that I could 'fiddle' with a phone hence the GNex.
Anyhow. I have been having serious issues in sorting this out until I pieced the information together in this post. None of this I can take credit for - as it is built on others work - I just put it together in one easily accessible place.
The problem is that this menu somehow wipes the SIM card's record of the SMSC number.
You can't just enter the SMS Centre number as it is, you have to convert it into something called PDU format (no idea what this is)
I have converted a number of UK SMS Centre numbers into the correct format below.
Method:
1. Go to phone dialpad.
2. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
3. Scroll down to the bit that says SMSC
4. Type your sixteen digit number in from the table below.
5. Press Update
6. Press Refresh
7. Press Back button to exit the app.
8. Test by sending an SMS
Hope that helps. The GNex doesn't give an option which is easily accessible from anywhere to change the SMSC number, downright silly as my 10 year old Nokia would let me do that.

PDU Decoder
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
I couldn't quite follow those directions, but my problem fixed itself without doing any of that. It just suddenly started working after I changed the format of the numbers in Google Contacts.
i tried these steps but no luck.. its simply the format of phone numbers.
this format is no good: +1 (123)-456-7891
this format is good: +1 123-456-7891
another solution is just to manually update each contacts.. i wish there was an app that does it automatically
install handcent sms app...go to undelivered SMS in menu...delete in any undelivered sms is there...it worked for me...
u can uninstall Handcent post that
I had the same problem , Can't send but can recieve sms ,
the problem presents since updating to jb 4.2.2 ,but it was working in 4.1.2
I tried the smsc solution but no luck at all ,
I think it's not a carrier problem cause i can send from Moto Defy "CM7.2 " ,but no luck with JB
Plz help
Another Fix
Tried all the fixes I could find with no luck. Then found out that I had enabled Google Voice+ to send SMS messages through Google Voice. After I disabled this everything went back to normal.
Just another thing to try that worked for me.
I know this is somewhat old but wanted to say for me, that the messages were being sent but there was one stuck in the queue. I followed the directions of installing handcent and found the empty text sitting in the queue... like a draft message. Once removed the message went away. I uninstalled handcent and all is good. It sucks that the stock JB 4.2 messaging app doesn't have a outbox and draft box to find stuff like this. Thanks for the help!

Constant Google Voice voicemail notifications

I've been using Google Voice for over a year now, and YouMail before that on my Palm Pre 2, so I haven't used Verizon's voicemail in a long time.
My issue is, every time that I get a text, I also get new voicemail notifications for voicemail that I have already listened to. Sometimes I will get "10 unread voicemail" notifications, most of the time it's one or two unread VM's, it is very annoying.
I've reinstalled the app, cleared data, and I've marked all VM's in Google Voice unread and then read - nothing works
Any other ideas?
I think there is a setting you can change so it does/doesnt notify you via sms/email when you get a vm.
You need to change this on a computer, not the app.
voice.google.com
Yes that option does exist, but I am not getting text/email alerts of voicemail. I'm constantly getting voicemail notifications, which I want, just not the same ones over and over
Am I the only one with issues?

I have the same issue on my Nexus 4, 4.2.2. It is very annoying and the fact that this obvious bug has not been dealt with does make me wonder if Google Voice is going the way of Google Reader.... No devs. Maybe Babble will solve it... The only alternative I have found is turning off the integration and sending a text for the voicemail to the phone. Pretty kludgy.
Ugh, hoping for complete Babble overhaul as well. The entire app is a mess really

I agree with this. My problems were different than yours. I didn't get notifications on a regular basis. Then I'd get 10 notifications for messages I never received. Sometimes a phone reboot would send messages to me, but not always. My gmail account had the notifications but they weren't pushed to the app.
I got tired of it, and went back to sprint VM. I wish sprint visual voicemail was an option on this phone. - Note, I am NOT rooted, and use this for business and cannot root (company policy).
I just found this thread when I went searching for solutions to this same issue. Did anyone figure out a solution or a workaround?
I'm also experiencing the same issue.
Me too. Two different phones now. 2013 moto X and droid turbo 64 gig. A lot of times for me it does not seem to be triggered by the reception of a text message. It will just happen. It also seems like it's just related to a few messages in my voicemail. This morning, I got a notification from a voicemail from August 5th that I listen to that day and have been notified maybe 3 or 4 times since that it existed. I'm about ready for the kludgy workaround mentioned earlier to turn off notifications on my phone and turn on text message notifications for it. Also hoping that this post will spark some new interest in fixing this problem or even better remind someone to post a solution that they found.
google voice app settings
I have had the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3 ever since I started using a Google Voice number. I get my google voice voicemails in Hangouts, so there should be no reason for me to receive a voicemail notification for them. I was just looking through the Sync And Notications section of the Settings inside the Google Voice app, and I found that I can uncheck the voicemail notications. Hopefully this will not affect my receiving notifications for my regular phone number (the one attached to the phone), or receiving hangouts messages with the Google Voice number voicemails.
