For some reason, it looks like AT&T didn't include their official AT&T Visual Voicemail app with the Note's current build. I'm not sure why they've left it off our LTE device -- since the VVM is supposedly free on all AT&T LTE devices -- but they did... so, now what?

After searching high and low in the Skyrocket forums (Thank you edgex!!!), we also figured out a way to make VVM work on our ICS builds as well. Info posted by jjc5891 here:

Questions:
1) I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS which had built-in (iOS) VVM; so, I don't remember ever setting up any sort of "normal" voicemail -- which I understand is one of the steps in setting up the VVM apk. What steps will I need to take to get the VVM to work properly on my rooted Note after I install it through ES Explorer?
2) Can anyone verify that this APK actually works on the AT&T Note?
Thanks ahead of time!

It works fine. Using it now...
okay here is my newb question, how do i install an individual app like this?
Is there a way to have a popup alert for voicemail? I am using Da_G's kernel 0.1 and TPC Note v1 ROM. The Visual Voicemail works, but there is no widget for it. I like the red circle popups with the numbers inside notifying you. On my Sprint Epic Touch the visual voicemail had that.
If you want visual voicemail, just use Google Voice. You get a nice discrete phone number, a better audio voicemail system, visual voicemail system, and multiple type of notifications.
The link posted above (first post) works for me. I now have visual voice mail icon but if I go to phone, click on the voice mail button, it still dials voice mail box.

Ok, I just did all this and it works great as long as you didnt use AT&T Messages program first (if you did they will need to remove your VM and or data pack and re-add). So here are the steps.
1. Download and install ES File Explorer if you dont already have it.
2. Download the file they posted for the Visual Voicemail and install it under the downloads with your ES File Explorer. It should work right away unless as I said that you started using the AT&T Messages app. They will have to remove that because it uses the old school voicemail to work. Good Luck!
Turned off my wifi and installed no problem. Went through the quick setup with AT&T VM and it's up and running. I can see this as a very useful app.
Google voice is definitely the way to go. Plus it has a slew of other wonderful features

what about the my messages app from at&t that's already installed on the note you can get you Vmail in that cant you?
The vvm app from GSLEON3 works awesome for me.

Yes I have this from above installed and it works awesome.
It does NOT come with GNOTE. Couldn't tell you why?
and yes...it is quite an awesome app. prob one of the best bone apps AT&T has thrown us..
well back in the day should say. delivers voicemail with full id and wav file playback instantly...
one touch. one touch. nice gui...etc....
fyi - dont confuse this with Visuals Messages.
They are two completely seperate apps. Visual Messages is not very good.
as mentioned above. it does suck.
Visual Voice Mail is what you want!
check it out if you have not yet done so.
its worth looking at.
The one that comes preloaded is Messages...uninstall prior to installing the above.
Same here... works fine for me on my stock AT&T Note. Really nice actually to have.
Tried on my international note but could not get beyond the password screen.
@Taptalk-GalaxyNote
I think it might be because AT&T has only provisioned LTE phones with the vvm sock? Just a guess...

+1 for google voice

Same here +1 google voice. You can create a "voice mail only" account and not worry about available numbers.
Youmail Old version works well for me.
+10000000 for Google Voice... plus you can entertain friends with the transcriptions.

If you don't want GVoice or the other mentioned app, AT&T released "AT&T Messages" to cover visual voicemail. Search for it in the marketplace.
I would not use the at&t messages app because it is extremely slow and had major lag issues on the thrill I had. The idea is ok but the follow through is poor.
Add my recommendation to the list lol.
Google Voice
Followed the recommendations and Google voice wins by far.
The only thing is how do you set up a custom message for missed calls?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
you have to log in thru the google voice website and set it up thru there
Another Google Voice recommendation. 9 times out of 10 you just read the transcript and that's it, no need to even listen to the voicemail. Works great, and you can even get voice mail audio and transcripts emailed to you, so even if your phone is off or you left it at home, as long as you can check emails you won't miss any messages.
how do you set up google voice to work with AT&T? I thought you couldn't set it up on AT&T and always select "skip" when I get to voicemail set up..

Nope, use the automatic setup in the GV app - worked fine on my Aria a year and a half ago, worked on my SGS2 a couple days ago, but had to enable, switch back to att voicemail in the calls menu, then switch back to GV immediately. Not sure why it took 2 trys to take on the sgs2.

Lol, it doesn't even translate standard English that well.
Yep, google voice is the winner in my book as well. Even though the transcriptions are horribly mangled sometimes, you can usually get the gist of things pretty easily.
Be aware that if you install this app and setup the visual voicemail, it will take quite a bit of work to get it reversed back to normal. I liked the idea of having visual voicemail but I get too many sms messages daily and there's no way to avoid having this app notify you each time in addition to your main sms app (GO SMS being mine).
I've called AT&T 3 times tonight and I'm awaiting a call back after the lady I spoke to said she's contacting her upper level support. None of the 3 reps I spoke with had any clue about this app.
I've fully uninstalled the app and now it reverts back to a 'Please enter the mailbox number' message when calling to get my VMs.
[EDIT] And like magic, as soon as I posted this, the rep called me back. She was quite helpful and they removed the VM service or whatever that this app setup and put my basic voicemail service back on. They need to allow the reps you first contact to do this. So I'm a happy camper again but it was still more trouble than it should have been.
Proceed with caution...
I just use google voice for my visual voicemail. I don't think I ever even set up my At&t voicemail box. Lol

Agreed. The translations are never on target, but it works great for VVM.
I don't understand why AT&T supports visual voice mail for the iPhone and for the Galaxy Skyrocket but not for the Galaxy S II. visual VM is the only thing I miss about my iPhone
AT&T Messages was late delivering some of my texts, so I turned it off. I'll stick with the stock messaging app for texts and gvoice for voicemail

I simply called the general customer service number at 1-800-331-0500. Or 611. Cross your fingers and say a prayer. Lol. Hopefully you'll get someone who's dealt with this before.

Here is the AT&T visual voicemail app.. When searching th play store, it says this is not compatible. It said that with the original HOX also, but works absolutley perfect. No need for that horrible ATT Messages app. This works much much better. Make sure "unknown sources" in security is checked. Copy to SD card and browse with file explorer and install. Of course you can use ADB to push it also. My favorite must have program on my PC for working with files and apps from the phone is android commander. If you dont have it, get it. . www.androidcommander.com Again If you dont have it, it is a 100% must have, get it. Here is the voicemail app, or just click below.
Edit: For some people you must have Visual Voice Mail provisions on your account. If this doesn't work, you have to call ATT and tell them to activate visual voicemail. Say you just installed it and its not working. No need to say anything about how you got it, that doesnt matter. Just say play store. They have no way of knowing that it shows not compatible in play store. It took me a couple of calls to get it added but they did eventually get it. if anyone has any problems, Here is another thread talking about this app but for the OG HOX.
Worked great, thank you!

I installed the AT&T visual voicemail app on my stock ROM and it worked fine.
I then installed the Elegancia ROM and now can't seem to get visual voicemail to work at all. It just hangs at the password screen. I've tried resetting my password, re-installing the app, re-installing the AT&T address book app and syncml apks (the AT&T website says visual VM app won't work without this) and I also called AT&T to make sure visual voicemail was active on my account.
Any ideas how I can get this working again?
Thanks in advance.

No, I am still having issues. I was on the phone with AT&T and they tried a bunch of stuff. It was working fine until I installed the ROM. I think it may be due to the APN changes that were made to enable native WiFi tethering but I'm not sure.
Either way, I decided to just switch my voicemail to google voice instead. I think it'll be better in the long run. Apparently with AOSP/CM ROMs, voicemails from google voice can be integrated into the stock dialer - like on an iPhone.
Thanks for providing the apk. Is it still required to manually install it? I was able to install it from the Market and I'm currently on the Elegancia ROM, so not even stock ROM. AT&T also claims it's supported on our devices:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414957#fbid=17ybI57IF1g
However, I had to call to have them activate VVM on my account.
Any way to make this work on Straight Talk? I know the iPhone's get vvm to work on ST. I installed it but the app would not setup or get the details it needs after I dialed the voicemail number.

Hey all.
So the tweaking to get my HTC ONE just right continues...
The latest annoyance is the delivery of visual voicemail. I have the AT&T Visual Voicemail App but it is inconsistent (in terms of updating) and a pain to switch over to it for my voicemail messages. I came over from the iPhone bandwagon and got really spoiled with some of the amenities on that side of the fence - VV integrated into the Dialer is one of them.
Anyone come across a Mod to get the Dialer and a VV integration? The dialer itself is kind of a pain, so I wouldn't mind replacing the whole dialer interface if that's an option.
I am Rooted and Running Android Revolution HD for HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
Its programmed differently so probably not possible with stock launcher. I havent had any problems with the notifications though and have a shortcut for it on my homescreen so really not that big of a deal once ya get used to it.

don't know if it's going to be possible with stock Sense and the AT&T VVM, however on CM10.1 you can get Google Voice integration into the dialer call log.

This is what I did too, but the problem is Google Voice is not popping notifications when a voicemail is received. My old phone (SGS2) used to do this, I still haven't found a solution.
I just recently tried out att messages. It's not horrible and you can turn off it notifying you of txt messages and still use the stock sms app.

Recent HTC phones include a special version of AT&T Visual voicemail. As a result it's no long possible to download and install the standard vvm app from the play store. I've installed ARHD and would like to figure out how to get AT&T visual voicemail on this particular rom.
