Is anyone else having problems getting Voice Mail notifications? For some reason mine don't show up and I have to call my voicemail randomly just to know when I have one. Is there an app I can download that can help with this? Thanks.
If you aren't getting the voicemail indicator, its most likely a network issue. The MWI (Message Waiting Indicator) Is a text message sent to your phone when a voicemail is deposited into your inbox. If you are receiving sms just fine, but aren't getting voicemail indications, You're going to have to call customer care from a different device, they will basically just reset your location on the network, resend the activation downloads and toggle your messaging services. That pretty much always fixes it.
You might want to also activate Visual Voicemail (just access the application, it will activate as long as your account is set up correctly.)
Thanks for the suggestions, I downloaded voicemail Notifier and it works fine, so I'll just stay with that. I think I deleted Visual voicemail when I was deleting bloatware.

Visual voicemail has been a godsend for me
You should switch your voicemail to Google Voice. Instant notification of transcribed voice mail, as well as free text messaging
Its because you deleted visual voicemail. Reinstall the apk or get it in the mkt it will fix it for you.

Brick'd's SMS call log fix in the Dev section got me wondering about the SMS notifications tied to voice mail in the i9000-based 2.2.1 ROM's (or at least in Darky's).
More specifically, any time voice mail gets interacted with (a caller leaves a message, I call in to check voice mail, etc) I receive the following SMS:
//VVM:SYNC:ev+MBU
Installing & uninstalling visual voice mail does not seem to correct the issue.
Anyone know how to remove this feature?
This question has been asked several times in the ROM thread & I haven't seen it answered there yet. I might just be blind, but ...
Thanks!
*Note: I've overlaid the black i9000 theme, so I haven't yet tried pushing AOSP SMS because I would prefer to preserve the theming.
Try this:
1st: try uninstalling and reinstalling the visual voicemail app.
If that doesn't work
2nd: go to mytmobile website and try disabling and reenabling visual voicemail
If that doesn't work:
3rd: Call 611, they will disable and re-enable visual voicemail.
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...

For the past few years, I've suffered with a lot of you through this issue. After applying fixes that didn't work, I finally stumbled onto something with my EVO LTE. Root Call Blocker has a hand in this. After disabling it, my VVM worked as it should (stock ROM).
Just a heads up...

Sprint VVM fix
I search and searched for a fix to receiving the phantom VM messages coming to my phone when I got a VM. I did an uninstall of the Vm app and re-install. Changed Roms, You name it. Now after all that I am smaking myself in the face.
To resolve the issue
Go to your VoiclMail app
Click on Compose
Click record and then Stop
I then went to share the message, but did not need to. The system recomized what I was doing and synced my messages to the VM application instead of the SMS message I got the Visual messages. YAY!!!!!
Wanted to share this, i hope this helps anyone searching for a Sprint VM solution.
Thanks

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.

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.
