I've rooted my phone about a couple months ago with AOKP 4.1 and never got visual voicemail to work. I just recently upgraded to AOKP 4.2.2, flashed the cache and davlik and still can't get it to work. I keep getting a "password not saved, try again" error with the AT&T visual voicemail app. I tried to download Youmail to see if that would work but that gives me a "call forwarding connection problem or invalid MMI code" error. Can't really find much support for this on Google but has anyone else ever experienced this after rooting? I had visual voicemail working before I rooted but can't seem to get it to work now...

Use Google Voice instead.
there has to a reason why this was working when I was on a stock rom as opposed to a rooted rom. I can't be the only one having this issue and if I am, then it has to be my phone or account.
can someone tell me what their voicemail number is in voicemail setup? Mine is "+14432803015". In my call forwarding, its "+14432803013"
ok..so I got google voice to work but I noticed it changed my call forwarding numbers...I want to use ATT visual voicemail app but I can't get that to work and I think it has to do with the call forwarding numbers...

There was a thread about this a couple weeks ago but I don't remember if the guy managed to use AT&T visual or if he just started using Google Voice but I suggest you do a little search.
I'm not on AT&T myself, therefor I can't test it.
has anyone gotten the native visual voicemail att app to work on a rooted galaxy s3?

I don't think being rooted is the problem. I believe it's from using AOSP.
You could probably flash a debloated pre-rooted AT&T stock ROM and it would work (wild guess).
BINGO!...got this to work by downloading and installing the att visual voicemail app located in this post #75 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330&page=8
DON'T UPDATE TO THE NEW VERSION as it doesn't not work....not sure why
Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:
Code:
//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5
Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.
Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).
I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.
Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??

Same issue when setting up my sister's 5X. I had the issue initially when getting my Nexus 6 on Verizon very early. There will be an updated verizon visual voicemail app for nexus phones on Verizon in the future just as Motorola came out with one for the Nexus 6 IMO. There was one for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon as well back in the day. Until then, your best bet is to use Google voice to handle Voicemail. Works really well once you have it set up. If you dont use your google voice number for anything else; set it to do not disturb in the settings on your desktop so that it goes right to voicemail once your Verizon line is not picked up.....

Thank you for this information, I will definitely give it a try for a workaround. Do I also need to install the Google Voice app on my phone for this to work?

No, you will not need the google voice app. You will need to access settings in google voice on your desktop. You can create a greeting through there and set the google voice line to do not disturb if you are not going to utilize it for normal calls. You will need to utilize hangouts to access the voice mails. They will come as texts and you can also listen to them through the hangouts app. Works really well in my opinion.

Ah yes I remember I played around with Hangouts and Voicemail back when the Hangouts Dialer was first released, I remember now that I had the option of listening to voicemails through Hangouts.
I think I have it all set up now, just have to find another phone to call my number and test it out lol.
Thanks again for the help!
Call Verizon and ask for disable visual voicemail. Ask for standard voicemail and block both standard and advanced visual voicemail. Then the old school voicemail indicator will work again.
This is the same issue CM users have had on Verizon with their visual voicemail.

I was told that would work as well when on the phone with Verizon.....
Just did a test on my 5x (Verizon) and it went into my VM and after I left a test message and hang up, it gave me the notification icon and sound. I never had visual VM before, so I don't know if that is the reason. Otherwise, working fine for me.

That is correct. However, did you make sure you have advanced calling activated on your account so that you can do data over voice..... Voice over LTE? Call in and activate it with Verizon if you dont. Sometimes with the activation of that , it automatically enters you into basic visual voicemail which can then be a problem.

This must be what happened with me, I activated advanced calling and I'm guessing that triggered basic visual voicemail which is the problem.
And the tech I talked to told me there was no way to remove basic free visual voicemail and go back to standard voicemail. Maybe she is wrong, I'm not sure, but either way I'm content with using Google Voice for now.

Yes, do this, for now anyway, until Visual Voicemail catches up with M. I still have Advanced Calling enabled, as well as HD calling, so VoLTE should work. With the Visual Voicemail removed (by VZW via chat in my case), I just get the old school simple voicemail notification on the status bar and dial *86 to retrieve.
Verizon Wireless Fixed my Issue
I had this issue since I got my Nexus 5X 2 months ago, and Verizon Wireless just fixed it over the phone and now it works fine. I don't use visual voicemail or anything fancy, although I used to use Google Voice up until a year ago.
He basically reinitialized the voicemail, so I had to set it up again from scratch, re-recording my outgoing message etc.
I should also mention my texts didn't work sometimes either... some MMS messages would just say "Downloading" and never download, and this happened often on my old Droid Maxx HD. The workaround was to disable wireless and wait for it to download over the data connection. Anyway this started happening on my new Nexus 5X also, but they reprovisioned the phone and fixed that also. :victory:
You can turn this off yourself from the My Verizon app or the website. No need to call Verizon. It's listed under "manage features".

Just did this and it worked flawlessly. Thank you sir.
Anybody else having issues with visual voicemail not working until you refresh the app? I get a vm notification from the device saying new voicemail on sim 1 or sim 2 but it doesnt transfer automatically to the visual voicemail app.
How did you get visual voicemail to even work?
It may not appeal to you, but I switched to Google voice some years ago , and have had a better experience ever since. Even if just for now, you might set it up until T-Mobile visual voicemail is fixed...
shouldn't have to use google voice. i guess ill contact at&t about it. it must have something to due with the dual sim on the device.

I could never get the AT&T VM app to register on 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, but it seems to be working fine on 3.2. Very odd and possibly fluke, but it's working for me.
Anyone get Visual Voicemail working on Verizon via the phone app or a 3rd party solution?
So just right off the bat, I know that T-Mobile are assholes and they setup their voicemail to only work by calling in or using their ****ty proprietary app.
That said, I get a vague sense that there probably shouldn't be a lot stopping someone that has root access and maybe a custom rom from fixing the default visual voicemail feature included in the google phone app to get it working with T-Mobile anyway by figuring out what exactly it is the default app needs to do to make T-Mobile think it's their app that's connecting?
Wondering if anyone knows if that's something I could potentially look forward to in the future because quite frankly I hate calling in to get my voicemails and I hate their app. If I had to choose between one of those 2 options for voicemails and just straight up disabling voicemails all together for my line, I'd picking disabling voicemails.
Is this a new change? I have MetroPcs and visual voicemail was working on my 5T running android 9, then it stopped working when I switched to the 9 Pro.
VVM working fine for me on the 9 Pro coming from the 7 Pro.. I'm actually on Premium, not sure how that happened since I don't remember signing up for it lol.
VVM on T-Mobile hasn't worked for years unless you're specifically using their proprietary VVM app. It wasn't working for me on my last phone (Nokia 7.1) and it's not working right now either on my OP9Pro. It's pretty well documented too:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/cexhou
It's not just me.
I gave up trying to get the in-dialer VVM (and Pixel call screening) to work, and went back to using Google Voice. It's MUCH better than T-Mobile's POS voicemail app, but no, it's not the ideal.
Guys, have you tried that one?
We're not looking for an alternative voicemail service. We're looking to use the in-dialer voicemail like every other device that has the Google dialer as the default.
One thing to consider is on Pixel Devices TMobile VVM works by default but I haven't seen it work on OnePlus yet, at least on the unlocked version like my 8 & 9 pro. Would be nice if someone could figure out the Pixels secret. Thanks
It works on other carriers outside of the pixel. T-Mobile actively blocks it.
TMobile VVM works fine for me. I don't subscribe to premium. I did purchase my OP9 plus from best buy so it the LE2125 unlocked

Right. We're talking about getting the in-dialer voicemail, not the T-Mobile app.
Are you running stock? I don't even see a in app voicemail?
I found the switch in settings. Uninstalled T-Mobile POS VVM. Testing now
Mine is working.
Not to beat a dead horse here but this is where I am at. I know T-mo will not provision VVM unless you use theirs. I am running an unlocked OP9 LE2125. When I got to settings and look at VVM in the google phone app, it has carrier blank and T-mo voicemail number greyed out. What I am currently attempting to do is look at the code and see if i can change that number. I currently got a google voice number and I know people do not want to use google voice, they are simply trying to use the VVM without using T-mo. I am trying to see if i can find at least a work around until Lineage OS for OP9 is released. I currently contacted T-mo to shut my voicemail off and I used the short code to stop forwarding calls to my voicemail. So far when people call my T mobile number google voice picks up if i let it ring or if i reject a call. Now i need to see how to get into the google phone app to update that greyed out number
Creative, that's not what people are looking to do. If you were using a Pixel (or a few other phones that use Google's Dialer as standard) the in-dialer VVM uses T-Mobile's (or whatever carrier you're using) voicemail service, it just runs everything through the dialer.
In addition, you don't need to have T-Mobile shut off voicemail to use Google Voice, you go into your call settings and just change the conditional call forwarding numbers to your google voice number.
And it's not about not wanting to use Google Voice. It's about getting the same functionality that every other carrier has without HAVING to use Google Voice.
Going to be honest here, you're making way more out of this than you need to.

I'm out of work for another month. Just trying to keep busy lol. That's all
Not sure if people care, but I've finally able to use Google's native visual voicemail in the phone dialer.
I've been using the google voice trick to have conditional call forwarding to my google voice, and I check voicemail there.
I can confirm that I have visual voicemail working on my stock pixel 5 and a second pixel 5 on T-Mobile.
Here's what I did:
1) go into google voice --> hamburger menu --> settings --> device & numbers --> and delete the linked number and also everything else in there (I'm not sure this step is needed but it worked for me)
2) go to the phone dialer and send the following code: ##004# (then wait for the success message that it worked, took about 15 or so seconds to get confirmation). I rebooted. Then the visual voicemails started appearing natively in the phone dialer.
3) For my wife's phone, for some reason the visual voicemail icon on the bottom right was not there, but then suddenly appeared after rebooting and waiting a few minutes. I also wasn't getting messages, so I sent the ##004# code again, and then it started working. Again, no idea if that did anything but it started working! Good luck!
4) Profit!
Hope this helps others.
Cheers!
