I asked this question in the Themes and Apps but thought I would ask here.
VVM from Verizon does not work with CM7, or at least not with the alpha build. Does anyone know if it generally works with the stable builds, or if there is an alternative.
Thanks
Go to the market, and Choose the 'verizon' app store, (right next to app and games), and you should see a visual voicemail app there. download that and see if it works.
I'm wondering if it doesn't work because it's integrated (atleast it looks like) into the Sense UI.
EDIT: Actually, here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vzw.vvm.androidclient

If the standalone Verizon VVM doesn't work, you can always try Google Voice or YouMail. Both work well and are free, so you can save yourself $2-3/month.
Can I use the google voice app to track voicemails without having people call my GV number.

YES. When you setup GV on your phone you will configure it to become your VM. That is how I use it and it works great.
is there an nfl mobile apk that will work for non verizon users? i've read many older posts saying that there was an apk that used to work, but now it doesnt. i would really like to have this app on my phone.
No the old versions of the app will tell you to update and the new versions of the app will not work on a non-Verizon phone. Even if you changed the build.prop you'd probably still get issues since it looks for the actual VZW account tied to the phone for billing purposes.
Since I am using a rooted Developer Edition, I don't have a call location program installed. Does anyone have the CityID apk that actually installs? I found a couple versions here on XDA but they will not install. I also downloaded the AT&T Stock Rooted Odexed rom and pulled the APK file out but it too did not install. Am I doing something wrong? I am using ES File Explorer to view the directory on the phone.
I'm used to seeing the call location on my HTC Vivid and would like it on my One.
Thanks.
City ID is an AT&T app that has a monthly charge. It showed up on my phone in a two week trial mode and I can't get rid of it until the trial period is over (according to 611 rep).
Yes I know what it is and I know everyone wants to get rid of it.
I am trying to install it.
Hey guys, I have been having troubles with Play Store recently. I have been trying to download several apps/games and they take forever to download. It does not matter if it's a 5mb app or a 1.5gb game. It looks to be downloading at about 300kb/s when my internet is 30/5mbps. I have ran speed tests on my phone and I am getting my advertised speed and I have also cleared the Play Store and Google Services data and rebooted but still no luck. I get this problem when I am at home or away on a totally different network. Has anyone else had issues with slow downloads?
My second issue deals with the carrier billing option... Ever since I got my Note 3 I have lost the ability to Bill to Sprint. My girlfriend still has the option and we are on the same plan. I have tried using 3G as well as 4G and still no luck. I have contacted Sprint and they have been no help. I also checked to make sure that I don't have any blocks on my line that would prevent this. My Google Wallet account only has my CC for my Play Music Subscription. I am clueless on this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Started noticing this same thing recently. Was wondering if it was just me...
Edit: download speeds seem to be hit or miss. Sometimes they blaze others they crawl...

Alright, Here is my .2 on the issues you are talking about..
About the speed, I have no clue.
About the carrier billing option, I do have a clue.
So I initially rooted my phone with the CF-Root method and was able to get carrier billing up until a few days ago. I talked to google about the issue and they said it was carrier related. I went into the sprint store and talked to my sales agent that I always go through when ever I need anything sprint related. He had his sales support, customer care, and advanced technical all conferences on the line to figure out what the issue was. Long story short after all the troubleshooting they said it was an issue with the phone. So, after ordering the replacement I have no had the issue with the new one, however.. its not rooted and all stock in fear of losing my bill to carrier options. They didn't ask if my phone was rooted, or even cared to check the status of the phone. I had tripped knox, and kernel counters and was running the MININI3 rom with Freeza's beast mode. kernel like in my sig.
I do want to mention that Ive also never had carrier to billing option on the phone since ive had it.. so if you had it and then lost it.. it is software related and if going back to stock everything (which is what I did) and it still didn't allow the option.. then your phone is hosed.. I do suggest you attempt a warranty swap or have sprint investigate and come to the conclusion that its the phone.

Yeah , it's the problem of stock rom..
Basically its a software problem.
Noticed this consistently as well while using my Wi-Fi but when I turn wifi off and use mobile data I'm getting blazing speeds that I used to get with my wifi...don't get it.

bill to sprint
So does anyone actually have bill to sprint working on a rooted kitkat rom?
I had the option there on sacs kitkat, but kept getting an error about them not being able to verify my account, which I came to the assumption it was because I was using google voice integrated with my phone number. So I disabled the google voice integration, updated prl & profile, but the option is no longer even there.
I've tried restoring sacs, I've tried installing the stockish odex rom, and now I'm downloading the stock unrooted rom to go back to stock & start again. Just curious if anyone has had any success with this.
Thanks.
update- restored to stock unrooted & still not showing the option
update 2- i had 2 google accounts on my phone, when I switched to the main account (never used for carrier billing before), it gave me the option & I was able to set up "bill to sprint", but when I tried using my other google account, the one that I have all previous purchases attached to, it did not give me the option, even after deleting the other account off of the phone.
So I'm not exactly sure what it all means, but at least a possible workaround is to use a fresh google account?? Hope that helps somebody.
google has issues!

I do not know what is going on with Google, I also cannot get back my paid apps, I had a phone that was rooted, took it back unrooted, they could not get it to work, then they gave me a new phone and that also did not solve the problem, so once again there seems to be some kind of software problem going on at google, when I used my other gmail account all my downloads were working except the ones that I paid for and that was over a month ago, so right now I am not a happy cus!tomer, Just my two cents

Do you have both google accounts synced on the phone? (settings -> general -> accounts -> add account -> google...) What I had to do was add both google accounts to my phone.
I have to switch to the new account to download new apps so I can "bill to sprint", then I switch to the old account to download previously purchased apps. ( to switch accounts, there is a drop down list of accounts that shows when you hit the 3 lines in the top left corner on the home page of the play store & then the little arrow next to your gmail address)
tried that!

I tired that several times, it won't down load regular apps now! thanks for the ideal!
Hey everyone. This is my first Samsung, so please excuse me if this has been discussed at length already. Is there any way to get the normal version of Google Messages on a Samsung phone? The huge MESSAGES header when you open up the app is very annoying and never happened on my Pixel 4 XL. I'd love to know!
Thanks!
Following since I'm also coming from Pixel. Why can't we just have Samsung hardware with stock Android haha.
Ok, I actually found this on another forum. Download the universal apk from another mirror site and store it on your phone. Go to the Play Store, uninstall updates of Messages and turn off auto update, go back to the Messages app and clear the cache, then install the other downloaded apk. Apparently, that works! They did say though that the app can't be updated by the Play Store. You have to manually do it. I haven't tried this yet.

It works just the way you said. But if you update in play store, it will revert to Samsung's version and it is going to force close

Yeah you'd have to turn up dates off and just manually update the regular version. Apk mirror is legit
So I use the Google Messages app on my S22+ (just as I did on my Note 10+). No sideloading necessary. This is Google's app from the playstore. No huge app header or anything.
Those headers are specific to Samsung's app design language. You need to remember that Google Messages and Samsung Messages have the same app name in the drawer, but the app icons are different.
i use/have used verizon message + on several samsung phones..pop-up on lock-screen + read message.
currently not a verizon phone.
