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.

Same problem here. Weird text message and no voicemail notification. I would like to get the voicemail app back and fix this problem as well...

I am definitely following this. I have not jumped on any rom yet (waiting for cm12 to stabilize) but this could break my interest in ever doing so.
I just pulled the Visual VM apk off a friend's G3. I'll see if I can figure something out for those that want this (me included, haha)

Yup, I'm with ya, that'd suck. I'll be back later tonight with something, I hope!
Could someone pull the VMM apk off their handset and upload it for me? I'd like another copy of it from another device for reference.
I need it also. If somebody could pull the vvm stock apk from their g3 and post it, it would be appreciated. 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.

Thank you for the update. Hopefully we can figure something out soon. Hopefully I'll have an update soon.
Also, another request for an updated stock VMM apk if anyone has one. I just want to verify some info between a stock handset and a Play updated version.
Youmail and using the app Better Youmail work great. That free visual vm from verizon is horrible...

Go to account settings. If you cant find it, you can also call them up and tell them you want basic VM.

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.

I got this text message upon someone leaving a voice message earlier today.
//ANDROID:xxxxxxxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN,15f50fe30,2986,V69EhxxlPpO//CM
Anyone else having this issue, and if so, what resolved it, if anything?
I also can't seem to get into my notification options when I call into my voice mail either. Not sure if that's common or not though.
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Someone left me a message this morning, it worked perfect. I would force stop it, clear data from the app, update your data profile then reboot and see if it works.
I gave it a shot, but it didn't seem to work. When I call the number texted to me, it just asks if I'm on a voice SMS enabled phone, but doesn't give me any messages.
I tried the suggestion on the help page through the VVM app, to compose a message longer than 15 sec and send it to [email protected]. Haven't had an occasion yet to test it again, but once I do, I'll update this with another reply.
Strange though. Through many different phone activations over the years, this is the only time this happened. Really hope I don't need to do a hard reset. If I do, I hope it works. Not like I can nandroid or anything. lol
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Still a no go... Can't figure it out. ; ;
Gonna call Sprint and see what their take is on it. Will report back.
i am actually having the same EXACT problem!! i have tried for force stop and clearing everything... still getting the same message!! and the VM never shows up in the VVM app!! Thanks for any help!!
I guess that's the only other thing I can think of is a hard reset. If that doesn't work I'm guessing it's something on Sprint's side would have to call in for tech support. I know when you boot up for the first time VM tries to provision itself and will say Voicemail provisioned successfully once data services are active.
Well... Just got off the phone with support. I had a very determined girl trying to help me out. Went through a whole bunch of stuff, but nothing helped so far.
Her and I both googled it, and found 2 things:
1. People switching to a phone that doesn't have VVM capability receive these messages.
2. They are command messages to tell VVM to download each new message when they come in.
Can't figure out why the messages are skipping the VVM app and going straight to SMS though.
I think I'm gonna try a hard reset later and see if that does it. Hope it does, because I spent some time getting everything the way I wanted it. lol
Anyone think of a good backup app that'll help cut down on the restoring my stuff time? ^^;
ADDITION: The version of my VVM is T.5.1.0.62 Is this the one everyone else has also? Asking just to cover as many bases as possible.
Had the the same problem called sprint after about 45 min of trying different things i had to hard reset and they reprovisioned and now it works perfect.

Hard Reset did it. It was A LOT more painless than I thought it'd be though. That backup and restore thing from google really helped out a lot in getting all my apps back. ^^
Also make sure you do not have Handcent's "disable stock messaging app" setting on. When it disables the stock app, the stock app can't get the 9016 incoming VVM messages before Handcent does and will cause this.

You're welcome. I doubt it but maybe the Hancent team can find a work around for this. It seems to me that if you disable it it's disabled but maybe they can block all incoming from the stock app except 9016, kind of like a reverse black list (actually they call those white lists don't they?, lol). I'd like to see that happen, but we'll see what the Hancent crew comes up with. I know others have said that other sms apps can do this or something like that, but I like Hancent better than all the others.
Anyways, glad I could help.
My issue's back again. Did have that setting on though, so I'll restart and see if that does the trick. ^^;

I've been trying to tell my wife that for a long time, maybe I can use this as proof, she keeps saying I'm not that smart.
But glad I could help, if I hadn't done it myself I wouldn't have known how to fix it, lol.
Use spc app to "block" the text messages but still get voicemails if using Handcent.
Just wanted to pass this on to you guys, as it has always worked for me. I had the Evo rooted with a custom AOSP rom and had used GV as voicemail then decided I wanted Sprint VVM back. When I made the switch everything seemed okay, but when someone called my phone and it went to voicemail it wouldn't let them leave one. Did some reading and finally figured out something that worked.
1. Stop the VVM process in running apps.
2. Clear the data for Voicmail under applications.
3. Dial *38 and call it as you would any other number( You should hear a few beeps and then it should automatically hangup) This has something to do with disabling call forwarding but will allow your voicemail to properly provision itself.
4. Open VVM and it should tell you that it has been provisioned successfully.
You should be good to go after this point, but if it does not tell you along the bottom of phone that it provisioned try this again but reboot before step 4. Some have also said that updating your profile and prl after doing the *38 helps.
Just thought I would share this as I read the comments about a hard reset when they aren't needed. I'm not to sure this would help with the issue described by the OP but hey its worth a shot instead of losing everything.
Confirmed: Fix Works for Epic 4G
Yep, I had Handcent Default Application enabled...clearing this resulted in Visual Voicemail back to normal.
Anyone know how to clear the voicemail notification on my notification bar? I have tried every possible thing to get rid of it and it does not to go away. I have checked in the voicemail and they I have no new messages or saved messages.
Thanks,

Yeah that's a good idea.
Also I had similar problems with my VM...Honestly I hate checking my VMs because of the tedious procedure that T-Mobile Voicemail hotline forces you to do. Before my Vibrant went Vibroke I switched to Google Voice. It's badass. In most cases it transcribes your Voicemails to text and let's you listen/delete all of your messages without being forced to listening to a stupid robot lady. Definitely worth trying out.
Thanks I tried calling myself several times left a vm then deleted them and still didn't work. I checked all settings in menu/settings/call hoping to find a clear option and nada, nothing, even looked through Root Explorer but didn't know what half the things were I was looking at.
Maybe I can have T-Mob reset msgs, not sure.
Joy Visial Voicemail is great for checking your VM, don't need toi call in at all
Yes, if all that you tried before didn't work you should call up TMO
Visual Voicemail doesn't work for me because I have an older unlimited plan that was grandfatherered into my current contract. I had it before though, and I still prefer Voice over that.
I love this community, I had the same issue and one search of xda and problem solved.
Thanks guys

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.
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.
I keep having to login throughout day or after reboot.
Anyone remember if there is a service or something I may of frozen that would cause this? I'm rooted and deodexed.
I'm going to start unfreezing everything tonight in hopes of determining what is causing it.

I'm loving the Google voice. The only issue I have is that transcript is not instant. I have to click on VM and wait for it to load. I'm going to probably disable it because it's not very good. I don't really care for it. Overall this is awesome. I can't believe I never used it before.
