VZW Visual Voicemail updated for WM 6.5 - Touch Pro2 CDMA

Today I noticed a new Verizon Visual Voicemail download labeled WM6_5 version 1.1.12.9 whereas the original was labeled WM6_1.x x.xx
Slightly different interface, and no nag message regarding Bluetooth incompatibility (it might even work this time) and allows for Bluetooth as an audio option.
Perhaps this is a hint that WM 6.5 is coming soon to the Touch Pro 2.
-Sheldon

do you have a link..or how did you track this one down?

Here it is..
I went to http://mobile.vzw.com/vzstart/actions/links.do?targetUrl=APPLICATIONLINK&methodTocall=takeToLinks but the link only works from within Verizon using a Verizon handset browser.
I have attached it the latest cab.
I attempted to use it with my car bluetooth to no avail. The app still gives the "turn volume up" nag message. Still kludgy software, but it appears to work better with the TP2 as it does give you a method to adjust volume within the app.
-Sheldon

I'm using the 1.1.11.65 VVM version on a stock VZW 6.1 rom. Any idea if this new VVM version will work on WM 6.1? Thanks.
Disregard: I downloaded 1.1.12.9 and it works fine on WM 6.1, although I don't see much difference between 11.65 and 12.9. Still, the last 2 versions are a vast improvement over original!

much appreciated, thanks. didn't want to go through all the user agent-faking-blah-blah to get this.

Installed and Now Not Connecting to Network
I installed the link above and now when I start VVW I get an error message that it cannot connect to the network and asks whether or not I'd like to connect to my voicemail via *86. The specific error message is "No netowrk connectionis available to contact the voicemail server. Do you want to access your voicemail by calling *86 ?" The options are Yes or No. Answering either quits VVM.
I've done a hard reset, etc., and no joy. After the hard reset it did prompt me to enter my voicemail password.
Anyone see anything like this? I'm running NRG's 28014 Leo Rom (December 17) on my Verizon Touch Pro 2. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

I went back to the stock ROM and upgraded. Worked from there.
I'm now updating to Juicy R7, I'll see if it works there and post back.

Didn't Work under Juicy R7 or NRG Leo Dec 25
Didn't work with either alternative ROMs.

Worked fine for me on the latest official Mightyrom.
And I like the new button at the upper right for toggling between the earpiece and the speaker.
Here's a screenshot:

Are you all using this one a 6.5 ROM? I'm on Mighty Mikes and cannot get it to play through the ear piece with any consistancy. It always plays through the speaker at first. Sometimes later though, it'll play through the earpiece on it's own. Any ideas?

I have the same problem with mightyrom & verizon VVM where the message plays through speaker only. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Verizon VVM and Mighty's ROMS
I've tried the older and newer versions of Visual Voice Mail, and the problem I am having, besides the one where you can't set a default for ear speaker, is that whenever I select to erase a voice mail after playing it, the VVM software crashes and leaves the voicemail in the respective folder. Soon after I receive a funky looking text message.......>Weird................I may go to the 6.5 Stock ROM *IF* Verizon ever releases it.

The funny text message is usually intercepted by VVM and it is able to determine status I'm guessing from it - like new messages, etc.

I was getting the weird text message too, and noticed I wasn't getting a notification. I deleted VVM and reloaded cab directly from Verizon's website. Now, I get the proper notification with no weird text message. (FYI, I am running on the stock WM6.1 ROM.)

Easiest way is to get new version is to use your phone's browser and go to http://mobile.vzw.com/vzstart, click on "Get Apps" and Visual Voicemail is number 5, I think. I used "remove programs" to delete current version first before downloading and reinstalling new version.

VVM and SSS ROM not working.
Upgraded to the SSS ROM r2 and was unable to get VVM working. I have tried 12.9 and 11.65. Both give me the pop-up that a network connection can not be found, despite me sending/receiving email, browsing over either wifi or cellular. It did work under MightROM (1/10/10). Also tried going to the Verizon app store and that was sure confusing. No searches came up for me on my phone's browser and nothing similar was listed under the TP2 either.

VVM Now Working on NRG 6.5.3 Leo ROM
I now have Visual Voicemail working on the latest NRG 6.5.3 /Sense 2.5 Leo Rom for the Touch Pro 2. I've been disappointed in all of the custom ROM's I've been using because VVM would not work like it did on the stock ROMs.
I'm probably the last guy that figured this out, so I apologize if this is old news. To get it to work, I had to get SMS messaging working properly. It seems that all of the Sense 2.5 ROMs have problems with both SMS and MMS. When I bypassed the HTC Messaging (and used the WM default application) VVM worked fine.
Now, when I get a voicemail, the specially coded SMS message never appears as an SMS message, VVM automatically starts and downloads the message.
I'm using VVM 1.1.12.9. It works through the ear piece, with Bluetooth, everything. Much nicer than I thought I could ever expect from a custom ROM.
I suspect NRG was able to get some drivers from the newly released 6.5 version of WM that Verizon released for the Touch Pro 2. But that's just pure speculation--I have no idea why it works, I'm just thankful it does. In any event, these ROM chefs are amazing--I owe thanks to them for making my phone so much more productive.
Hope this helps.

How did you bypass the HTC Messaging? I applied an Verizon MMS cab before so I thought I resolved the MMS issue but maybe not. Thanks!
Update: Well, like of should of done in the first place, I googled disable HTC messaging where I found the Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 cab. It disabled HTC's messaging and my VM triggered the Outlook messaging, opening VMM. Unfortunately, I still have the "no network connection" issue mentioned above. I will wait until SSS's r3 rom to do a hard reset afterwards and see if that resolves the issue.

You might try NRG's ROM. It's my favorite (lots of eye candy). See:

Cingular MMS Synchro Error / Media Mall Email Problem

Through four different ROMs (Xplore 1.1, 2.0, and CB RL, currently using 2.0 BB), I've repeatedly had the same issues when everything is loaded and done:
1. In MMS, when trying to Send/Receive, I get an error "Error Synchronizing". Now the messages do seem to go through, if I create one and send it to myself I get the message back, but I'd like to understand why I still get this error.
Q: Is there a "event viewer" or error log that can help identify the issue?
2. Unable to receive emails from Cingular Media Mall to download purchases.
Observation: After requesting the download from the Cingular Media Mall website, the CPU utilization goes up to 30% for a few seconds, then back to 1 or 2%, as if it is seeing an incoming message, but can't accept it? Text messaging seems to work okay, such as *646# or just a phone to phone message.
I've attached the CABs that I've found that set internet / MMS settings, and I've verified them against the Cingular site and what I have on the phone.
I've done as suggested in other threads, to take the newly flashed phone, and before doing anything else, install the MMS and internet settings and try it - but it responds exactly the same.
I've taken the SIM and tried it in my stock 3125, and both work fine, as well with the stock WM5 official rom in the Wizard.
Hmmm...
Just loaded the Crossbow Faria Edition, and the SMS from Cinguar worked. I had gone through the SMS settings a few times, but it sure appears that's where the issue was. I'll dig through the settings to see what's different. There may be hope afterall...
As far as MMS goes, there wasn't a MMS config, so I ran the WAP cab, and tried MMS again. Still the same sync error still came up, though it sent and received is okay.
Same goes on T-Mobile. I seem to receive MMS' just fine but I'm not sure how long ago the person sent it. Last night, it took about 20 minutes to receive the MMS I sent her.
Update
Well, it seems the Faria Crossbow definetly is a step in the right direction, in that now the SMS appears to be working correctly.
There's still a hitch though with the Media Mall though, in that once you click on the link, you get an error message in the browser that says "an unexpected error has occured". Also still haven't nailed the MMS sync error yet.
I still wonder why I bother, but I hate when something doesn't work...
Going to flash back to a more vanilla rom though, too much stuff...
I had this issue as well. the cab files weren't actually installing the mms settings. i had to put them in manually and the sync issue went away.
Gotta be magic...?
Okay, tried Xplore 2.0 again, and still can't get the MMS/SMS settings right. The MMS cab adds the GPRS settings or MEdia and My ISP, but couldn't get SMS working. Arrg!
Starting to feel like this shouldn't be so darn hard, but I went back to the Faria Crossbow rom, which has all the setings included and working. Even tried to cook my own rom, but don't understand enough about adding stuff to get it right.
Maybe there's a way to extract an XML with all of the networks settings for all modems from an existing phone?
i use the p_conn..... cab. I have never had an issue with sms or gprs/edge using this cab. With MMS, i have to set the server info manually.
Have you manually checked to see if an mms server is listed or does it only have a sample server or no server at all?
Are you using My ISP or Media Net as your internet network?

I honestly don't get it. All I run after flashing is the first cab in your post. MMS, GPRS, and SMS all work for me after that. I don't do anything else. Have you tried to call Cingular to ask them (but not telling them you are on a custom rom of course).
I've used that cab on NTS, Xplore 1.1, Faria Vanilla beta, and now my rom successfully.
btw, what radio are you running? Make sure you are using the Tmo 2.19 UK one with Cingular on WM6.

It is strange, because I took your advice and tried adding the cab you referenced after a fresh flash, but it only gave me GPRS, but no SMS. (I always do a clear memory after flashing just to be sure before adding/changing anything, including this cab). The only time I've gotten everything is with Faria's Crossbow - which I'm back to currently.
I'm running the 2.19 radio, and it's definetly better than the 2.25 that comes with the factory rom out here.
I've you've got a recipie that seems to work, please pass it on and I'll give it a try. I'm guessing it's the following process-
Reflash back to the official Cingular RUU
Flash the 2.19 TM radio (this seems the only time I can get the loader to work)
Flash the vanilla rom of choice (your remix or Xplore 2.0)
Clear Mem
Install cab
and it should work - or it works for you? These are similar steps to what I've been doing up to going back to Faria's, but maybe I'm missing something.

Pop mail and cooked roms

Anyone else have the issue of not being able to get pop email from cooked Rom's? I can get exchange mail, I can get phone calls, and hear the system sounds fine. I just cant get pop mail to work. I have tried about 4 or 5 Rom's, and all the radios listed in the sticky post. Please let me know how you fixed it, or if you know how to fix it.
thanks.
Maybe it is more of a setting for the POP account than the ROM's / Radios you have tried.
Maybe the POP accounts settings or port or something else - you are using improper settings? Hard to say...
Maybe someone will chime in with news about 4-5 ROMS all having problems with POP email.
need to go through the account settings in outlook to make sure you are using the right connection. 99.9% sure it is not the rom, just the connection settings
Its the same setting I am using for the one rom that will work. And its gmail, and verizon, so it auto downloads the settings from the web.
Did you make sure you have gmail setup to use pop3 connections?
yes I did. On the rom it works with, I can set it up and work with radio .09, but if I just change to any other radio like .11 or .17 or any other is will stop working. Then change back to .09 it will work again.
can anyone help?
email just broke today
My email was working last night as late as 11 pm. As of this morning I can't even get email to launch! I have tried launching via the today screen, windows live and thru the programs pull down. Now get this, I did a hard reset and reflashed and did a restore of the last good working backup..same thing! I'm running dutty's v7b hybrid rom. Also, voice command just started giving an error immediately on a soft reset. i don't know if this is related or not, but I just started searching for email issues and saw this thread. I have both hotmail and yahoo mail account configured. This after about of week of working fine with a replacement tilt for te 3G bug. Is it possible for AT&T to send something via an update that causes problems for cooked roms? I mean why won't a reflash fix this?
rich
a little help
One thing that I had to do with my comcast email was to forward it to a hotmail account. Nothing I tried would get my comcast email to work on the tilt. This works(or worked ) great for me. My issues are some sort of conflict with apps or a memory leak of some sort, but in general I suspect some email providers don't support pop for whatever reason, so maybe give the forward to hotmail a try.

Perhaps it may help to be a bit more specific with the problem that you are having? Are you getting any errors or is it that the mail has simply not just appeared? If the latter is the case, not to insult your intelligence, but be sure to go through gmails settings and first of all enable pop...secondly, if you'd used pop somewhere else prior to that phone, you have to tell gmail again to re-enable pop mail even if it has been downloaded (I'm paraphrasing the wordage). You'll have to do this each and every time you switch the device/software you use to get your pop mail. (Imap wouldn't but imap currently is screwed from gmail's end)
without re-flashing my ROM, I can’t get the error, but it said something to the effect that it cannot connect to the server check the dialing rules. Every time I tell it to do a send a receive it would disconnect the 3g, reconnect it about 2 times, then give a issue with the 3g connection. And it’s odd because 3g works with everything but pop mail. It works for internet, and exchange email. It just when I do pop email. I have only been able to get pop to work with official att ROMs, and with radio .09

Ok, now I know exactly what you are talking about. I've had the same problems before, it seems as if autoconnect for some reason when I flashed didn't work fully. What I had to do was install the carrier settings cab that I kept over from my previous device. On some roms this happend for me, on others it didn't, it probably has something to do with the rom being HTC based or AT&T based. Try installing the Cingular/AT&T carrier settings cab found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349630
I've attached to this thread as well. Be sure to report back if this works or not.
great, thanks I will have to flash it tonight and test this out. It would make me very happy.
no it did not work. It killed the internet on my phone.

For what its worth since you're flashing ROMs, try flashing Q-Mobile 1.2 (sounds like you'd want the Tilt version since you're a US AT&T user). I can confirm that pop mail works just fine so if it doesn't work for you there then you can safely assume it is something other than your choice of ROM brand that is causing the issue. Cheers,
I found what it was, I had to change isp.cingular to wap.cingular
Glad to hear...sorry it didn't work immediatly.

[TEST] HTC Messaging Fix (probably NOT!)

14/12: A few of us encounter the SMS sending problem again after applying the fix. So it looks like the latest messaging client found in ROM 1.61 doesn't fix the problem. Of course, I'm assuming that the problem lies on the messaging solution, rather than radio, as explained below.
Hi all,
It's probably a well known fact that HTC messaging has some serious bug, specifically on the reliability on SMS sending.
I've done a quick test, and noted that when the problem happens, usually the network is weak and the phone is undergoing through some network switching (e.g. from 3G to G in order to get better reception). This is consistent with the findings with some folks here.
However, I don't think this is the cause, I say it's a symptom, because network switching is common in any phone, and any reliable messaging app should be able to handle such scenario. On further testing, I noticed that when the problem happens, the messaging service that HTC developed to take over the entire messaging send/receive from Windows Mobile, would crash and won't be able to restart.
So this leads to my belief that the bug fix needs to be at the messaging service and/or the messaging client, rather than the radio.
Of course I could be wrong, but when I hear that HTC has released a new ROM 1.61 with new messaging client, I decided to give the new files a try.
Thanks to Steve0007, who had kindly forwarded me the files very quickly when I dropped him a request for the new files. So please try out this CAB I've put together, and let me know if you still get message stuck over at your end.
I'm crossing my finger!

not so fast dude. We need to monitor for awhile to see if the new version developed by HTC is indeed solving the problem. The best way to test is to go underground or into lift and see if you can send messages or not

Maybe you should try this:
1. Turn the HTC Sence off
2. Reset
3. Install patch
4. reset
5. Turn the HTC Sense on.

see if you can install after applying the tweak "Policies/Allow unsigned apps" using BSB tweaks app.
Btw, I made a test just now. I changed my SMS preferred setting to 3G (not via Advanced network, but instead HKLM\Software\Jataya\Messaging\SMSPreferredNetwork) and put my phone in a metallic enclosure so that I've no network totally. Then I send out a message to myself and I don't get any delivery report nor the message itself.
After about 10s, I brought the phone out, and then in less than few sec, I got both delivery report and message. So it looks like it's working well, but all these count for nothing if somebody reports otherwise. So your feedback after installing the cab is very much appreciated here.
Just installed on 2 decides, will test for a few days and report my feedback
fix, no functional
Not directly related to this problem but always something regarding HTC Messaging, I've sent an email to HTC asking to fix the long waiting time it takes to load all of your SMS within a contact. It could possibly be one of the following fixes:
- stop updating the list, add all the sms to the control, then re-enable the control: should work reasonably well, since opening a menu while htc messaging is loading sms forces this behavior - Instead of waiting for a minute while loading 300+ sms, you only need to wait 1-2 sec. - Nice improvement, still not solves the problem
- just load 10-20 messages, then put a button to show more.. problem solved.
They replied me telling they've sent the request to the "relevant department".
Not working for me, sorry
oops wrong thread, sorry.

no need, just stick to whatever setting you have. The whole idea is supposed to work regardless of whether you have chosen GSM or WCDMA as your preferred network. Hope it works

can you explain why it doesn't work? you still have stucked messages, or you can't install the fix?
Its working now, got replies from all people verifying receipt of SMS, but anything else i could to "strain" the phone into failing to send an SMS?
Okay,
I installed the cab no probs, then reset my sms options back to GSM prefered [default], soft reset, sent a message, that didnt arrive.
Turned the options back to GSM only, removed the cab, soft reset, sent a message and it was sent along with the one I tried to send after first installing the cab.
Hope this helps..
try killing jblend daemon and the corresponding sms inbox handler in the reg
at least i finally know i am not the only one suffering from this problem.... almost thought i got a faulty set. thanks for the patch bro!
after sending 7 sms, just tried sending an sms now ( 3 hours after initial sucess) and its stuck in my outbox...again!!!
success might juts have been luck, i havent send an sms in 1 week, and did 3 soft resets, 1 after installl bsb tweaks, one after installed SMS fix cab, and 1 more for good luck.

Caller ID problem

Does anybody else have a problem with their caller ID? I am on t-mobile in the US and sometimes the phone number shows up, sometimes it says unknown. This happens randomly even the same person. One time, their caller id would show up, the other time it'd say unknown.
I'm on Tmobile USA as well and don't have any of these problems.
Maybe try clearing the contacts and sync them again?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I never had caller ID... Though I remember it was one of the "bonus apps" the icon of which was shaped like a gift box.
Given my repulsion to bloatware, I deleted it. Finally, frustrated with the whole lack of caller ID, I finally dropped $6.99 on White Pages Pro (or something like that). Now my caller ID is great and it adds the info if I want to make a new contact. Very nice.
Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM
Got a new one at costco...Same problem..wtf. Can it be the sim card or something? Any ideas?
So this is what I mean about the unknown caller ID problem. Unknown callers with a phone number is not the problem. The problem is unknown callers calling me with no phone number. And these numbers are not blocked. I asked my friend to help me test it for me.

This happens on and off WIFI calling and this is my second One S with the same problem. Kinda annoying because I don't know who to call back if I get a missed call.
I've been having the same problem. I took it back to the t-mobile store and they gave me a new one but after a few days the problem came back. I'm not sure if it's the phone or the sim card.

Yes! Thank you! I thought I was alone here. Where are you from? Do you by any chance use an app called screen filter?

Yeah I thought I was the only one having this problem. I'm from around the LA area and no I don't have that app.
I also have the same problem. I am in Foxboro, MA. I called Tmobile and they are telling me it's a network issue. Supposed to be resolved in 72 hours. I'll post back with my results.
I seem to be running into the similar issue. I once resolved it by installing the Rooted nandroid available here, it had gone away so I re installed a custom rom but then after a couple weeks it came back? I read thru the forums that's it may have to do with facebook contacts? I'm trying out the new energy rom now, hopefully it clears the problem

Sweet. I factory reset my one s last night and haven't had this problem today. Don't know whether to attribute it to the reset or t mobile fixing their network. Either way everything's good so far.

I tried factory resetting my phone about a week ago but after a few days the problem came back. I'm hoping T-Mobile resolves this problem soon.
Try Factory Reset and also try clearing Cache/Data in the Phone Application Settings if applicable. Obviously, reboot afterwards.
I'm going to assume you are not rooted.
I did a factory reset as well, but still had the problem. I'll try to clear my Phone data/cache first and also try another factory reset today.
I spent an hour on the phone with Tmobile advanced tech support. They think it's a network issue, but haven't figured out exactly what it is yet.
Another thing, when I have Wifi calling on, my caller id works just fine. Really weird.
I did another factory reset today, didn't update any of the apps, basically didn't touch anything and caller id is still not working.
I am also on the latest OTA update. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
I love this phone, just wish I could tell who is calling me.
So I've discovered a little more from testing this morning. Would be interested to hear if anyone else sees the same thing.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi and Wifi calling ->
Caller ID broken.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi with no Wifi calling -> Caller ID still works.
Looks like the issue might be related to Wifi calling somehow. I'll update Tmobile tech support and hopefully they have some kind of answer.
Ok so after hours of reseting the phone, the settings, wipping everything, re installing the Rom all this over and over, doing nandroid etc... I finally got it to show me the caller ID again.
It was weird because for a while I could get it to show it to me after a new install but then as soon as I'd reboot, It go back to the same thing.
Still confused as far as what is making it hide the caller info. I doubt it's Tmobile network because then I would imagine at least some other phones would have similar issues. then again I don't know because when it started again for me yesterday I was just driving on the road, no settings had been changed (although I had just left my house wifi)
its very confusing
well i am having the same issue. and i have Samsung Galaxy S2. my caller id shows as UNKNOWN

Just want to share that I'm having the same issue on my One S. Seems random but have not done any testing to try to figure out a pattern. I'm in southern NH if that makes a difference.

Thanks for sharing. I'm in the bay area in CA. I don't want to jinx it, but I haven't had this problem occur in 48 hours. But I have noticed that it occurs more when new numbers call you for the first time so I don't really know because I haven't had anybody new call me.

[HTC U11] No Audio (both ways) during calls?!

I'm at the end of my rope here and I'm loosing patience with this very strange problem:
Some time ago, I received a HTC U11 from a friend. Since I came from a impenetrable (AT&T locked) Samsung Galaxy S7, I didn't bother testing the U11 before tinkering with it. I missed the freedom of a custom OS so much, that I just wanted that back again. So I don't know if the phone had worked with the originial software on it.
Naturally and right away, I unlocked it, flashed TWRP (3.6.1_9_0) , LineageOS 18.1 (2022-02-19), as well as Magisk (v24.3) and a core version of the GApps (NikGapps Core ARM64 2021-05-01) as to bloat my system as little as possible.
Now, everything seemed to be in working order. I can install and use any app like I would normally. Strangly enough, I can even send and receive speech messages in WhatsApp (haven't tried any other messenger app though).
However, if I try to make a phone call (through 3rd party apps like WhatsApp as well as "classical" phone calls alike) there won't be any audio, in neither directions from either source. Can somebody just...... I'm not that much of a noob, usually, so, HOW?
Starting out, I had another issue that a call (incoming or outgoing) would not be visible even in the task manager. I could solve the issue by reapplying a "special permission" to the phone app so it was allwed to pose itself on top of the other layers. Still, there was no audio - so could it have something to do with permissions?
Or am I missing an important (background) up with the core version of the GApps?
What I've tried so far:
- All the wipes up to and including a complete factory reset.
- Superficially checking, if I missed something during installation (nothing immediate springs to mind).
- Trying a different phone app (contacts+).
- Checking permissions of phone app.
- Trying loudspeaker and normal speaker settings.
- Using a land line to connect to my phone to check if there's any audio in either direction.
- Banging my head against the wall...!
Please help me find the reason behind this issue. It's just completely non-sensical to me that I can send and receive audio messages but my audio doesn't work during calls in both ways.
I have that same problem.
I tried 5 different custom roms, I tried the kernel, it didn't work.
everything is working, only the sound on the phone call is neither going nor coming. same as normal earphone with bluetooth earphone.
audio recording in video recording, music working, microphone recording sound, but no sound in calls. There is an imei signal, but there is no solution.
Even emergency calls have the same problem.
why could it be?
Thank You for replying, OnlineBeyin!
And here I thought, I was completely alone in this. At least there's someone out there sharing the pain!
Well, here's to a strage new Problem.
In a funny way, I love this about digital technology; it never gets boring - as soon as you'd think you've got your stuff figured out, along comes a curious problem you've never heard of or even expected to be possible.
I havent found a solution yet but having someone with the same problem gives me hope, maybe together we can work it out.
I don't think it's about the custom ROMs since You tried five of them to no avail. What do You mean by "trying a kernel"?
I've come to terms with it since I kind of enjoy the silence that not being able to answer calls has provided, but there is some other strange behaviour that might hint at a possible solution I have not yet explored:
I've taken a look at the NikGApps package I was using (core) and I've realised that
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I might need the basic version, since the core version does not provide an obvious dialer (What does "AOSP" stand for?) nor "Google Carrier Services", both of which seem quite important for phone calls.
Now me being a rather lazy fellow by nature, I thought I could just install the basic version over the the core version. In doing that, the clock app stopped working. I don't know why but opening it leads to the app crashing.
I've just seen Your post so I wanted to reply first rather then try a bunch of stuff and keep you waiting for an answer, but that's where I'm at.
So this strange behaviour (not being able to open the clock app) leads me to belive that...
<TL;DR>
Could there be an issue with different versions of programs running in the background?
(My point being Android is basically a customized version UNIX which has some similarities with Linux with which I have some modest experience with.
There I've experienced such issues around the OS telling me (paraphrasing) "the thing You want won't work like that because it is dependent on something that cannot be resolved automatically. You gotta have this version of that other thing to talk to that version of yet another thing and you have to solve that first. Then it'll work.")
So, long story short,
just to rule out this source of error, the next thing I'm going to try is to make a clean install with the full and original Version of GApps just to see if it'll work and go from there. If that won't help, I'll find out if there is something like the bash terminal from Linux just so I can see what the phone is doing exactly.
I hope this helps, if at least to spark an idea from somebody, anybody else!
I really want to get this phone working at some point, if only for sustainability's sake!
hi mate, still having the same problem...
Here's what I've tried and what I'm sure of
I tried turning off features such as google assistant voice listening and it didn't work.
I tested multiple microphones in the device with hardware test programs and the speaker that acts as a handset and it works fine.
The device is calling the other party, sending sms, just because there is a voice exchange problem, I have no doubts about imei etc.
It's purely a software issue. it's so clear
The first thing I would try would be to go back to the original rom. I haven't tested this before.
I also think that the device may have different criteria according to different countries, so there may be a conflict. But I don't think I made a lot of mistakes, to be honest.
It's very important to me that you share your every attempt.
I really want to operate this device. It's my favorite device.
In the meantime, I opened the device and tried to change the transmission films. I tried changing the bottom charging port. These are not solutions.

I had the same Issue with the sound in Calling etc... , this is a Problem with the DSP and when you use a CustomROM than use LineageOS_18.1-for_OREr_PIE_firm_with_DSP_patch-monthly_builds and after install ROM you must Flash this HTC_U11_DSP_TWRP_Flashable_OREO_2.33.401.19_install.zip that Fixes my Audio Problem and its work fine.
when you would more you find it here, HTC U11 - CustomROMs all with DSP Patch
Happy new year, everyone!

With great pleasure I'm here to announce:
Can confirm this works! Just tried it today, the patch straightforwadly fixes this issue.
I had to skip the integrity check in TWRP to be able install it, but that should be obvious.
I already lost hope.
All the thanks and all the glory definately go to System23!
