Visual voicemail update failure, on MOAR ROM - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Visual voicemail keeps notifying me of a "mandatory update," which keeps failing when I try to update. The notification keeps popping up. On MOAR 2.1b. Anyone else have this issue?

Is it a Samsung app? Does it want to update from Galaxy Apps. If so it wants to update to the 64 bit version because this is a port from a 64 bit phone.
You can go to app manager and turn off it's notifications.
Hope that works for you. Never tried it myself.

No, it's just part of the bloatware added by Sprint. I'm wary of turning off notifications as it notifies me of pending voicemail. May just use the Xposed NotifyClean module to turn off just that particular notification unless someone can suggest a fix. Thx

Personally before I flash a rom VVM is one of the things I remove. Damn notifications drive me crazy. Missed call notifications are enough to alert me to a possible voicemail. I use the old stock voicemail app. It's disabled by default so I enable (defrist) it for 1 tap access to voicemail . Just my preference.

i'm trying Go Voice, but there's no functionality to listen to the message on the phone like there is with Android. i have my GVoice account set to send me a text msg when someone leaves me a message. limited yes, but works for me (for now).

I had no problems listening to messages on the phone. When you open the transcribed message, click the play icon just above the transcribed text.

yep... You're correct. Discovered this after playing around with options. Thanks for correcting my misstatement!
Try the GVoice app; I wrote it It has tile/toast push notifications too
1.0 is a bit rough, but I just submitted 1.1 to the market to clean up all the issues and add more features

1.1 is not available for me in the US Marketplace. Do you have any idea when it will be?

Koush, I have a question. Does your app support push notifications via WiFi only? For instance, I live in an area with no cell reception, and I'm forced to use wifi only. Will this app give me push notifications with just wifi on?
I'm using GoVoice and have been quite happy with it. Updates with feature improvements seem to be coming through on a regular basis. I just setup background notifications to the live tile and I am testing it out.
im surprised this is all the input on this thread
Well, Android phones by far have the best google voice app (obviously) I been using GoVoice and it seems to be working ok. Its a pain in the ass though, the fact that WIndows 7 cant multitask means that you have to start up GoVoice every single time it for me it just takes too long. The notifications are nice though, when you get a text message you'll see the notification at the top like you normally would with a regular text message.

+1
same issue here.
alright.
after digging around the developers website i found the right instructions for getting the push notifications and live tile to work.
sucks that it doesnt make the directions too clear on the app and elsewhere...
http://blog.taotaotech.com/setting-up-push-notifications/
so yea... even though you will have your gvoice set up to send u an email for new voicemails, the gvmax end will cancel those out so you wont receive those annoying emails...
live tile works for me now.
Is there a way to get voicemain notifications similar to other ones (like SMS)? Won't do it for me.
EDIT: NVM it works. Just didn't get one the first time.
Is there a way to get the update notification to go away? My GF's HD7 has the update number on the live tile, but when we update it, it keeps saying it needs to update.
which live tile is it for?

The marketplace app never shows it update.

are you referring to the number that appears next to the icon (to indicate number of updates)? if so, have you tried just restarting the phone. i think it's all related to the known bug with the market place at present which causes the market place to crash every now and then.
nah, restarts dont fix it. Still wants to update even though its been updated countless times.

That's a known bug with the "trial" version of a lot of apps... Not sure if you're using a trial, or "free" version which can be downloaded as a trial

SMS Alert not always sounding

Hey guys,
I have noticed, that sometimes my SMS alert doesn't always sound. Does this perhaps happen when you are in a conversation, and leave it open and jump right back to the home screen. Therefore the conversation is still "open" on the phone, and hence it doesn't sound? If I go back to my message widget, the new message shows up then.
Anyone else had this?
Go to aplications>mange aplications>all>sound set>clear data
And then set notification sound you like ... tell me if this helps you

Will give it a try
That's not fixed it.
Does it have something to do with the conversation still being open in the message app?
Are you on Android 2.2.1, software version 1.72?
There is a known issue with sms notifications on that version if you are. Best fix is using sms popup from the market to handle your notifications instead of the system app.

Can you share with us what the profile is specified to do exactly? the state, the task and such. post screenshots if you can too. Are you rooted? perhaps installing Secure Settings on the play store might help

I've made a few test profiles now that are supposed to blink both LED's when I receive any message or call.
I've attached the various test profiles I've made for them and I can't understand why they don't work.
And yes I am rooted
yeah...i used tapatalk...so?
It seems like everything is in order, it might be the "Wait" commands that are conflicting perhaps? try just telling it to notify you with TeslaLED and set the Strobe to very slow. That's how i have it set up for the past 2 weeks and works every time. Could possibly be that your using a 3rd party SMS app like GOSMS? I'm using the stock messaging app on my ROM...

you mean that i should just let tesla turn on when i get the message, and no wait command or anything?
and i'm using stock messaging app, but also whatsapp, viber, hangouts...all with that same setting.

Stock messaging app

It's showing the little orange 'new' circle against settings but I can't find anything or clear the orange dot.
Not a biggy but annoying, any ideas?
Got the same and it can't, for the moment be cleared. It will go away i suspect after some sort of an update.

If that's the case then there's probably an update from Samsung.
Go to the settings in messages» about messages
Should be a button there to update or you can check if there's an update in the galaxy store

Possibly could be a weird bug but by chance what version of messages are you running?
And do you have any package disabler apps running like ccswe or package disabler pro?
Msg app 10.1.00.76 and CCSWE but latter has no impact. I've tested it, to make sure, by re-enabling all that is disabled.

Hmm, you're running a newer version than I am. Mine is 10.1.00.73
But the reason I asked about the app manager is that I wondering if you disable BadgeProvider, SamsungExperience and Galaxy Store, restart the phone and see if it goes away then you can re-enable them if you want to.
Edit:
Just realized ccswe doesn't allow you to disable certain apps and the Galaxy Store is one of them. Well the major thing is the BadgeProvider service (com.sec.andoid.provider.badge) that's the service that gives the little orange dot to apps and such if they have a notification. So if it's disabled then the orange dot should go away, restart the phone to make sure it's cleared then re-enable it if you want to.
I personally keep BadgeProvider disabled since the status bar already provides me info on which app needs attention.
No, that orange notification doesn't bother me. It will be resolved at some point I'm sure. Having spent hours of "fun" in the past trying to unravel experiments with blocking various apps that broke functionality in unexpected places I've learnt what apps and services to leave be.

Question Phone by Google Update

Anyone else get the update for Phone by Google last night and visual voicemail tab at the bottom disappeared ? Also when clicking on Voice Mail in settings, the options flash quickly and disappears. Or is just me.
Yeah, the same for me.
I looked and I'm apparently on the beta channel of the Phone app, which hasn't been updated since 12/8/2021. I don't use visual voicemail since I use Google Voice, and I don't have a problem when I click on the Voicemail settings.

I might switch to beta. On this latest update they did fix the favorites sort order. It doesn't change automatically like it did.
I got the update last night, the tab says "voice mail", I'm not sure if it said "visual voice mail" before, but the voice mail settings don't quickly flash and disappear for me, they work as usual.
I'm also on protonAOSP, maybe that's why.

Finally! It seems like years that I've tried keeping them in my own order and they would get switched back eventually, so I gave up. Or did they fix it before and then broke it again?

No with this last update it keeps the order you leave them in but you never know what tomorrow will bring by Google

It might be. You're right it was voicemail not visual voicemail as a tab but its still the same.
Just went into phone app settngs and now Direct my Call is gone as well. It was there when I did the screen record this morning lmao.
