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!

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.

Unfortunately VVM isn't available on the note, for whatever reason.

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.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.

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...

I didn't see this posted and I tried searching.
I don't see the 'More Services' app that's referenced all the time with the GS3 on my stock AT&T GS3. I'm guessing AT&T excluded it but is there a way to sideload it? Is it worth doing?

Is it an app or a section in settings? I don't have it in either. I know things like "display modes" and LTE toggle are missing from the ATT version.

I'm having the same issue. I have a US Cellular SCH-R530U S3, and the Samsung App wasn't loaded. I found it off the Samsung site, but it says because of my phone or my country, I have limited functions, basically it only does updates. Going to the Samsung App website, it says you have to install the apps from your phone or use Kies. Only problem there is Kies says my phone isn't supported by Kies v.2. This is really getting annoying. I hope someone can help us out here soon...

When I launch the app on my phone, all it says is No Updates. I do have my Samsung account on the phone but the app never asked me to sign in. I agreed to everything, and I just get the No Updates. The only options I have under the Settings are Update Notifications and Push Notifications.

Which App did you install? I went to Samsungapps.com and downloaded the apk from there. In settings I have option for Push Notifications and Samsung Account. That's it.
It's basically a Samsung app store which is lame but it has Samsung apps under "More Services" category which is nice. Nothing too amazing in there except Photo Editor and Video Editor (both of which are in the Play Store already).
I downloaded it from the Samsung site as well. I was rooted when I installed it, so I used OTA Rootkeeper to undo root and reinstall seeing if that would make a difference, but it didn't help. I'm after the Polaris Office app, which I can't seem to find in the Android Market at all. Haven't tried the Amazon market yet though. Just getting to me now that it won't work for whatever reason. Already not happy they blocked the Remote Control feature here in the US, not this?!?!

Yup installed fine. Looks like a nice app and not bad for free I guess.
Wow - sorry you're having trouble but thanks for the tip. This is an awesome app. It has Dropbox integration that works well and it's so far opened a bunch of PPT/Docs that many apps have trouble with.
I guess it's bittersweet

Says you can edit Excel files, which would be great to finally do on my phone. I'm sure there's others that I'll want, but don't want to get even more mad that I can't get apps that I want. This one is bad enough. I found a thread on a different forum where people were able to load it off the site by going to it on the phone, but when I click the download, all that get's downloaded is a file called downloadfile.bin that doesn't do ANYTHING.

I actually just found Samsung Apps in the google store, but when I try to download it, it says "This item is not available for your carrier". GRRR!!! Messed up thing too, is my Galaxy tablet is greyed out too, and it's the WiFi version, there is no carrier on that!!!
AT&T messaging app suddenly appeared today and took over my phone. I used Default App Manager to change back to the default texting app but the AT&T app still catches the incoming alerts.
First off...what in the world.....? And second, how do I rid my phone of it/never see it again?
Thanks
I called them and got them to disable it. Apparently they've been getting pissed off calls about this all day. Way to FAIL AT&T...

That's odd, I have an HTC One and for a while I used the stock ROM that came from AT&T and never had that issue. This is why I don't like carrier bloatware lol.
Mine was even worse, all of the sudden I had 8, yes, eight icons on my home screen. I thought for sure something had gone terribly wrong, ATT couldn't screw up that bad.
I'm going to make a quick list of useful apps that AT&T provides:
1.

I know what you mean. I wish HTC would have stock pop up notifications and a bit more customization to their messaging app.

The same thing just happened to my phone over the weekend. You can go into the settings and disable it but the better way is to call att customer care. They know of the problem and they have to remove it from the billing on you phone. After they do that, go to settings and press uninstall. It will uninstall all the updates to the app and then you will get a message stating that all messages will be handled by their default apps again.
I think it was an update to AT&T's "Visual Voicemail" app which was a really handy little program that I liked to use, but now with all the extra features its a pain in the butt!

Hangouts sucks, its the worst and I don't want to use it. I've removed hangouts no problem and tried a couple methods of installing talk.apk but the installation never finishes. Any ideas?
My guess? Old talk is not compatible with new google play services.

Yes, as far as I know the old Talk is no longer compatible. The new Hangouts is such a huge improvement over the original talk, I can't imagine what you mean.

For some reason RCS has never worked in the stock app for my wife and I ever since we switched to TMobile. It works in Google messages, but never the stock app. And after today's announcement that T-Mobile was rolling out universal profile, I tried it again and it still doesn't work

That is strange. Although, I'm having a weird problem where mms doesn't even work at all on the stock app, but it works fine on Google messages or any other 3rd party apps. Which sucks because I like the stock app but I can't use it since I can't send or receive pics or group messages. T-Mobile literally had to open a trouble ticket in my account and are trying to figure it out

Maybe it has something to do with TMobile agreement with Google regarding RCS.
