I was just wondering if anyone knows how to re-download existing voicemails to visual voicemail after flashing a rom and re-flashing gapps (visual voicemail)? I restored from backup and got voicemails from 6 months ago that show up, but I can't seem to get it to connect and download the current one's. Any ideas?
I dont know of any way to get them back. Thats why I dont use Sprints Visual Voicemail. I use YouMail. Plus it has a tone of awesome features and no matter how many roms you flash, You will always have your saved voicemails.

I rooted my Vibrant and have clockworkmod but after removing so of the embedded apps with titanium backup I no longer get the notification when I have a voicemail....I dont get the icon notification at all it just shows I have a missed callll......is there anyway to fix this?
lolu removed your voicemail app ? reinstall it than
I reinstalled Visual voicemail but still no icon......I can get voicemail but I dont have a notification icon so if I dont check it after every missed call than I never know when I have one
I have it backed up in titanium backup but I cant figure out how to restore it...Does anyone know how to do this? I backed it up, than I deleted it off of the phone....ut I assume if I have backed it up than I can restore it right?
Anybody ever figure this out? Lost mine too and it gets a bit annoying.
In TI backup goto batch, the look for restore app amd data.
Then just check the box for voice mail
Im not sure if you tried this already
Possible workaround; install google voice (many ROMs include it as a default) and set it to be your default voicemail inbox for your phone.
Google voice allows you to:
- Save voicemails forever
- Automatically transcribes voicemails
- Email alert for voicemail (and link to listen to it) along with the normal alert in the status bar
- Listen to/download voicemails on any internet enabled device
- Visual voicemail
- All normal voicemail features
I've been using Google voice for my voicemail since I made the switch to android, and I love it.
I had this same problem after flashing a new ROM and was able to fix it by going to:
Settings/Call Settings/Voicemail/Voicemail service
In my case, nothing was selected, so I just selected the "My carrier" option and the voicemail notification started working as normal.
Hope this works for someone else..
I recently installed suprarom and my google voice setup goes alright but for some reason it only does a small bit of the set up and only allows me to view my Voice inbox. it will not continue to set it up for international calling or let me use google voice as my voicemail carrier :c anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Also first post in 3 years O.O
Wouldn't be asking for help if I didn't need it :/

Having problems too with Mikmik rom. I'm gonna try nandroiding back to the stock rom, TB GV there and then go back to the rom of choice and restore GV via TB. You should do the same
Zero issues on Synergy's ROMs. Took some trial and error to get it to work properly though.
Since the idiots at Google and Sprint BROKE GV with that **** ass integration, you have to skip the initial set up screen, then log in. then skip, then go to your "Call" settings and choose it as your voicemail carrier.
All that depends you having it set up properly in the web site as well. Dialing *28 is what I had to do 2 years ago.
So I got the Note. I rooted and have a kernel and ROM. But when I switched to Go Launcher I lost my voicemail shortcut. I would like the voicemail icon that shows a number popup on it showing you have a new voicemail, and would like to have the voicemail that downloads to your phone and you just play the message by clicking which voicemail you want to hear without actually dialing your voicemail. I had this on my Epic Touch.

If you have an online account with AT&T you can use the Message or also know as "AT&T Messages."
Alternatively you can try and download this app from GSLEON3 in the vivid section. This might work for visual voicemail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=862179&d=1326917503
Or you can use Google Voice, YouMail, etc.
Also there are numerous threads about visual voicemail already with this same exact questions and fixes. Please use the search next time before creating a new thread.

I'm in the same boat. I never even looked at the Note before root and GoLauncher, so I don't know what the app/widget looked like. The fact that it has visual voicemail, and some sort of indicator, I presume it is a widget. I can't find it though...
I presume AT&T Messages from the Market is not the same thing as the one that is one the phone?
I also searched through all fo the apps on the phone and only see AT&T Messages.
Edit: Nevermind the above--the Note is not bundled with VVM. Do not install the AT&T Messages--someone reported that it removes your VVM provision. Instead, go to this thread and install the .apk. I just did and it's all good...

I just upgraded from my Samsung Captivate which was running CM10 to the HTC One. One of the things I loved about the old phone was that all my voicemails would show up in my call log and I could play them from there. When I tried setting up GV on the new phone, I got a bunch of error messages and somehow the phone removed my old call forwarding rules and then couldn't reapply them. So I logged out of the Google Voice app and tried again. No dice. Finally, I went back and did it the old fashioned way by manually typing in the MMI code and managed to get the calls forwarded again to GV. When I went to the dialer app to manually switch the voicemail provider to GV, I again get the error messages and when it asks to still switch to the new provider I click OK. However, it kicks out another error message and then shows that nothing has changed and still lists AT&T as the default voicemail provider. So, has anyone managed to get this working properly or have AT&T and HTC once again colluded to completely bork functionality that works oh so well on stock Android?
Just got a response to my support request from HTC. Laughably, they claim they "cannot guarantee full functionality with Play Store applications." That is pretty pathetic. In their quest to differentiate, they eliminated one of the best features of Android in my mind. I hated dialing numbers and using the dialpad to access and control voicemail years ago. When Google made Google Voice available on Android, it was one of the factors that made me choose it over the iPhone. Then they made it even better than visual VM on iOS by integrating it into the dialer. This dialer from HTC is a huge step in the wrong direction. I don't need all this FB and Twitter integration crap. Just let me access my VM in the best possible way.
I have it working but I never got it to work using the Google voice app configuration.
It was still working when I swapped my son card to the HTC one from my gs3.
I had to go into the phone app and change the forwarding numbers manually. Also the voice mail number.
If that doesn't work I think you can contact at&t and they can fix it for you.
Wait...you have your Google voice voicemails showing up in the dialer app so that you can click play and listen to them without going into the GV app? I did manage to get the forwarding set up, but I want the voicemails to show in the dialer like they did on CM10.
Not working on Sprint and HTC One either

Same issue, voicemail set up, but I can not get the call log to show voicemails. Tried unchecking voicemail display as indicated in other forums, but doesn't work either way.
Bump...no dialer integration or notifications is a big problem for me as well.
Instead of making a new thread I will just bump this one. Did anyone managed to get they HTC One to integrate Google Voice visual voicemail into the dialer? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info on that.
Maybe there are any 3rd party modifications that can fix this issue?
p.s Just to clear things for someone who reads between the lines my GV Voicemail is working fine, what I am trying to figure out is how to integrate it into dialer and get visual voicemail from there.

No luck. I stopped trying. I may give it another go.
Just installed ARHD Google edition Rom and visual google voice voicemail works great in there, but I prefer Sense based Rom so will go back to it. Shame visual voicemail doesn't work on it, seems like HTC broke the compatibility.
If anyone knows a solution that would be great!
So I like a lot of the roms out there that I've tried. But my biggest thing on most is Verizon's stupid VoiceMail app... Most of them don't have it installed and the copy of the app I have found usually doesn't work or crashes non-stop after I install it from TWRP.
I know there's YouMail (I think that's what it's called.) but I wasn't a big fan.
Is there either a way to stop getting the garbled text message when not using the verizon app or what?
I've noticed that if I don't use a rom with the Voicemail app I either don't get Voicemails or I get the garbled text message and it still doesnt' really work correctly.
I get my voicemail thru Google voice, but I also use the vzw messages+ app so no garbled texts. Well other then some rather humorous renderings of a computer program having problems figuring out some Oklahoma and Texas accents.

I went to my verizon account and disabled visual voicemail, so I get the old school standard voicemail notification now.
Google Voice on every device I've used for the past few years

Yep you should be able to install the My Verizon app from play store. If not use http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and sideload it.
Youmail sucks because of their horrible contact sync. It messes everything up. However someone made a different app for the service called Better Youmail and it is phenomenal!
I ended up contacting verizon on there twitter support page and they disabled basic visual voicemail and I've been back to using just the old one since.

Jasmine ROM and Visual Voice Mail.
Flawless.
If anyone is on an AOSP ROM and getting funky SMS messages instead of voicemail notifications:
Condition:
You are running without Verizon VVM "Messaging" app installed.
Symptoms:
When someone leaves a voicemail, you get a SMS message with a bunch of header info. The message starts with //VVMMMS... and usually includes the caller's number somewhere in the string.
You do not get a standard notification of a voicemail (no envelope in the notifications and/or status bar.
Information:
It is likely that your account is setup for Basic Visual Voicemail. The messages that you are receiving are push control messages that stock-installed Verizon apps would pick up and use to generate their own notifications. Since VVM is not installed, they come across as regular SMS messages.
Verizon has 3 different voicemail offerings at present: Voicemail, Basic Visual Voicemail, and Premium Visual Voicemail; the latter is usually a paid service. Based on which is included with your account/line, they determine how the notification should be sent; the app is a key component in the proprietary service.
Solution:
You may contact Verizon at their support 800 number and go through the prompts to get technical support. When you get there, ask them to change your voicemail setting to "IMS Voicemail" instead of "IMS Visual Voicemail Basic." This should allow you to get the standard notification and call *86 when you tap it. Keep in mind that this is something done on the carrier's side, so if you decide to install VVM or use a stock ROM that includes it, the functionality will not be there. If the paid service was included as part of your contract, you may have some difficulty in getting them to change the setting back to "IMS VVM Basic" without an additional fee.
If you install hangouts, you can configure your voicemail to go to the hangouts app. Not only will it transcribe it so you can read it, you can play it right from a thread like an sms message.
It's very neat.
I use Google Voice and have been for a few years. I like the fact they transcribe the voicemail for you. Also, anytime someone leaves a voicemail or I get a missed call, i get an email on my gmail account. The missed call emails are a life saver especially when the phone never rings to notify you of a missed call to start with which has happened to me a couple of times. You can also text and make phone calls from the Google Voice app as well.

It wasn't horrible, I just didn't like having an app like that. I know everything we do even on our phones is being watched/stored somewhere by someone most likely.
But I just didn't like having yet another party having access to my things. It worked, setting up the voicemail message with a slight pain for a bit till I got it working right.
The notifications worked, people didn't have issues leaving me messages etc. It worked is the main thing. I just personally didn't care for it.
Now that I'm back to using plain voicemail without the visual VM etc I'm happy with that.
