Visual Voicemail and Dialer Combo - AT&T HTC One (M7)

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.

i came to the HTC ONE from the iPhone 5 and i also miss the ease of visual voicemail baked in there.

yeah i had some trouble setting up "google voice LITE". it said it couldn't "retrieve forwarding settings" or something. tried multiple times with no luck. finally went to "voicemail number" in call settings and changed it manually to the number google provided.
i THINK it's working okay now. i called it from a friend's phone and did get my GVoicemail box.

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.

I also came from the iPhone 5 and miss that functionality. You can use YouMail for a pretty darn good substitute.

visual voicemail

I'm coming from an iphone 4. I know that makes me sound like a noob but I have grown acustom to visual voicemail since android doesn't have it built in I need an app. Can you guys and gals recommend me one or two thanks.

I would recommend Google Voice. That is what I use and have used for quite some time.
+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.

Mine took the first time. Restored the app with data via titanium and enabled it in the settings and it has worked perfectly.

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.

Word of warning re: AT&T Messages App

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

Been a long time since I've used carrier's voicemail. Google voice with its "less than accurate but always hilarious" voice transcriptions is number 1 for me too. Makes combining a business phone and cellphone so easy.

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

You can log into google voice from your computer, go into settings and I believe the option is there
I also got suckered into AT&T messages.
Its awful.
Any advice on getting my VM put back?
Maybe the number that called you back?
Thanks.
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.
The funny thing is that the 3rd call I'd made was to someone who had a very heavy accent and I immediately thought it was gonna be an uphill battle. She proved me completely wrong...

AT&T Visual Voicemail for the i717 Note (GB and ICS)

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?
Gingerbread builds:
GSLEON3 posted the VVM .apk in the HTC Vivid forums -- be sure to give him some thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
ICS builds:
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

I have this issue, too. Actually I think vvm has to be on mobile data to update, an I suspect juice defender disabling mobile data on wifi may be my issue.

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.
UPDATE: I've used it for 2 weeks and no bugs and acts as smooth as the Skyrocket version did.

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...

Google Voice Broken?

Searched around and found other people with the same issue, but no solution. Basically, on either my daily driver (Ineffablis 1.0) or any other ROM I flash, Google Voice no longer functions properly. I can install the application, but when I go to make it my voicemail provider, it tells me that my carrier (Verizon) isn't supported and that I will need to configure manually. I've done the *71, *90, and *92 routes to try and get it to work, and it just doesn't. Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone found a solution?
I don't think you can set up google voice as default voicemail on verizon phones period because I have this problem with my incredible and had it with my Rezound
Edit: never mind lol
I had google voice on my incredible for over 2 years, and recently the same here on my Rezound, but I apparently something has recently broken...
I have also used Google Voice on Verizon, almost from when it first came out. I have no issues, but I haven't changed anything in awhile.
Been using it since the Incredible, never had an issue

When you get that message just back out of the app, then go to to VM settings on the phone and press my carrier. It will let you change it to GV and you'll be good to go

Thanks jaysckap, but I actually managed to figure it out! I tried your idea but it kept giving that same error regarding the carrier not supporting automatic configuration. Ultimately I found somebody on arstechnica who had the same issue and said that they just went into the Verizon website and forced call-forwarding there instead of trying to use the application. Once I did that I was good to go, Google Voice is back in business!

I'm on verizon, but don't call anymore for my voicemail. If you go to the PC website for google voice, you can configure the voicemail to be handled by google voice. So, you get voicemail notifications like they would if they called your GV number.

[Q] Verizon Visual Voicemail

Switched to AOSP (Pac-Man) 4.4.4 and when I get a voicemail, I get a weird text msg and thats it. Is there a way to get visual VM working on AOSP or is there a way to make it so VM's act as normal and I get a notification in my status bar?
Thanks.

I found out how to get just regular voicemail, which is fine for me. Just login to your verizonwireless account and disable Visual Voice Mail and enable Basic Voice Mail. You will get 1 more weird text, but after that, its back to working normal. I know not a fix, but a bandaid until someone figures out how to get VVM working.

Thanks. I called and had them remove basic visual voicemail from my account. Its still doing it, but I don't know if their system updates right away. Ill give it til tomorrow.
Ok. I chatted with Verizon a couple of times today and I figured it out. I think basic visual voicemail is required as part of their HD voice service.
Anyway, the VZW tech said that at a minimum, basic visual voicemail needs to remain on the account.
I was able to get the normal voicemail notification back by blocking Basic Visual Voicemail.
On a computer go to My Verizon account;
On the left under Manage My Account click on Block Services ;
Then click on Purchases;
Put a check in the last box called Block Visual Voice Mail and click continue;
On the next window click accept.
That should do it.
