New Voicemail Update

Anybody who has the updated voicemail app care to share it with me.....
Im on boostmobile and i was checking the voicemail app out and it checked for an update and asked me to download it. i did but it doesnt install properly i think because it knows im not on the sprint network. now the notification is on the taskbar saying "there is an update available" for the app and i cant clear the notification unless i update! its driving me crazy lol

Look For It....Uncle Jimmy

i tried installing it straight from the apk and it didnt take, "application not installed". anyways after rebooting the phone, the notification was gone.

Try flashing the attached file.

Is the former attached APK the newest version? I don't think so?? What are the changes..

Take the app and put it in with system apps....then change permissions to match with the rest and reboot.
Newest version will end in .34

Can I just uninstall the old VVM and install the new apk?

What I did was the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# mv Sprint_VVM.apk Sprint_VVM.apk.old
# exit
adb push Sprint_VVM.apk /system/app

hey guys i too have my evo on boost mobile everything works fine including 4g but my vvm refuses to work. it wont give me any notification when i have voicemail. when i tried the sending a voicemail to [email protected] didnt help. it says voicemail could not be provisioned contact customer service. any help would be greatly appreciated

Sprint VVM doesn't work on Boost, at least not on my EVO. And 4G worked at first (I guess phone was still activated on Sprint) but it stopped working, not logging in anymore. And I don't get the NEW VOICEMAIL notification either. I have to call voicemail to check if I have any. I also tried the [email protected] from the app and it still didn't work. I removed the app completely and looking for a solution to re-enable the NEW VOICEMAIL notification...

Search for "Voicemail Notifier" in the market.

Thanks again!

4g?

I just order a evo (waiting for it in mail) and im going to use boost on it. I have researched how to do it (Thanks to the forum). But how do you get 4g on it? Thanks pm me please.

Actually the newest version ends with .48

I highly doubt 4G will work. It might work until the old Sprint account gets deactivated. Like what happened to my EVO. 4G worked for a while, then it stopped working, had to turn it off. 3G works great though.

Boost Mobile Evo Voicemail
Just letting you guys know that after many complaints about how inconsistenly the Voicemail Notifier App was working on CDMA phones like the EVO on Boost & Sprint. The creator of the app and the newest version of the app DOES NOT support Boost and other CDMA phones. Truth is it NEVER worked the way it was supposed to but at least now they have STATED it. I'm still looking for a quality app that works! If anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it!

Well, is it possible that perhaps someone can construct a new app that can do this? I for one would not mind donating my part to the project. If not a Voicemail notification app, then perhaps an app that does conditional call forwarding to like lets say Google voice. I will be happy to support anyone that can do this.

Would be helpful if you could share what ROM, modem etc. you're using.
Ideas? Google Voice. It's free and offers a much richer messaging experience over carrier-based voicemail systems. It transcribes viocemails and you can read and/or listen to them on the phone, from a PC etc.

What I've seen fix that in the past is leave yourself a voicemail... let it go to your phone... then delete it again.... also another note.... i always hit the * button to hang up.... not sure if that will work but it has for me in the past with other phones....

it most likely has nothing to do with your phone and everything to do without your service provider. the voicwmail server is incorrectly sending your phone the "new voicemail" signal. I had this same problem on my old blackjack 2 for the longest time. if it bothers you enough, try calling your service provider and get them to fix it.
Sent from a phone, playing a phone, disguised as another phone.

Just call AT&T and ask them to reset the voicemail and missed calls notification.
This happens to me soo often...

This fix has worked for me numerous times in the past.

Sorry to jump in on the OP thread but I have the same problem. On cognition was setting up google voice but I guess I had a voicemail sneak thru the system during the setup. I have tried switching back to my carrier voicemail leaving a message but it does not delete it. I am surprised there is not a service that cannot be force stop to remove it versus calling provider.
Thanks

[Resolved] Google Voice notifications in the notifications bar

I finally figured out the reason why Google Voice notifications for new messages weren't showing up for me. It turns out to be a stupid bug in GV.
Once I would be done setting up GV, I would go into "Settings" and check the option for "Voicemail display - view and play voicemails from the phone call log". Well, I accidentally found out this is the culprit. I unchecked this today just for the heck of it, and lo and behold GV notifications starting appearing again
This had been bugging me no end for the last month. Hope this helps anybody else in a similar situation.

I can confirm, I noticed this about a week ago. But I also did the fix here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26061058&postcount=2 so I wasn't sure which one did the trick. Either way, glad GV is finally working properly!

Thanks for the tip, but FWIW, I have always that option unchecked and I still have issues with getting notifications. the weird thing for me is that the notifications immediately pop up once I open google voice. I think there is some sort of issue with the app processing correctly in the background, but I'm no dev so not sure how/if you check for coding or troubleshoot how the program is written to interact with ICS.

Have you also tried what I linked to in my post right above yours? Like I said, I did that and what RofSpark said to do and I am getting consistent and immediate notifications of voicemails.

I have tried that, too, yes. For the first couple of weeks, my GV was working fine, notifications and all. I had zero problems after setting it up. But the last 3+ weeks, it has been giving me zero notifications in my status bar until I open the app, and my email notifications (which are how I've been seeing that I have voicemails) are delayed quite a bit.

I did that on Day 3 after not getting any notifications on GV and has been working for weeks just fine.

Are you completely stock or are you running a custom ROM? I'm running Scott's excellent CleanROM SE ver. 2.6 and perhaps this also has something to do with things? I have very little multitasking issues now and things keep trucking nicely in the background...

I can confirm it works on CleanROM DE 3.0, no experience with Scott's SE version however.
I did check with Scott, and he confirmed he does not see any reason why GV notifications would not work with any of his ROMs. In fact, he uses GV too and confirmed that he has not noticed any notification issues on his phone.

I did extensive tests and determined its the "Voicemail display" checkbox that breaks the notifications. The link in your post is absolutely required to correctly set up GV forwarding on the HOX. That is my standard procedure for setting up GV now.

Twice, now, I have uninstalled and disassociated GV from my phone, then reinstalled and redone the entire setup process. I've always uncheck the view and play voicemails in the call log option, as well as used the dialer code for ensureing the voicemail is properly forwarded and GV is used. Nothig has helped my issue.

I am running unrooted and totally stock, save for some disabling of preinstalled crapware. maybe i need to start enabling one AT&T service at a time to see if they help resolve the issue?

Though not very sure, I think I have read a number of people had notification issues around push emails and text messages on the stock ROM. People were either not getting these notifications or getting them quite late. Maybe this is more to do with problems in the notification subsystem of the stock ROM. Do you plan to root and unlock to install a custom ROM? Maybe that's the ticket to get this working.

I'm considering going over to CleanROM at some point. I'm stock now and just updated to 1.85 from the OTA. I waited a few on the update and read some claims that this update helped some of the general notification issues. Doesn't seem to have helped me with GV notifications but ill give it a few days (updated yesterday afternoon). I've been holding off rooting because I'm leery about it effecting my company's IT privileges and forced encryption as I rely heavily on my corporate email and am forced to endure some heavy administrative control due to sensitivity of the client work I deal with.
It does seem that rooting and running a custom rom is the way to eventually go. The devs here are so swift at identifying and fixing these little issues. I just need to take the time to parse through the thousands of posts regarding the custom roms I've looked at and see if they'll work for me.

If it helps I can confirm all notifications are now working for me on Scott's CleanROM DE 3.0. It is a great ROM, very lightweight with most of bloat removed including Sense launcher (replaced by Apex, which is fantastic). Scott is extremely active in addressing any issues and continued development of all his ROMs.
Feel free to reach out to me if you decide to move to this one and need any clarification or help. Good luck.

Yeah, I haven't had any notification problems since I switched to CleanROM.

Thanks a lot for the info and offer. I will most likely look into CleanROM DE later in the week when I have some free time. I've read about it quite a bit, but I am not well-versed in rooting phones and flashing new ROMs, so I will likely need all the help I can get. I am definitely a noob, but I read these boards extensively, so I'll do my research and possibly PM if I've got any specific questions that I can't find answers for when going into a potential root.

Google Voice broken in 4.4?

Hey all, is anyone else having any issues with Google voice not properly working on their Nexus 5 with android 4.4? I have it setup like normal, but the app is not showing missed called or voicemails.

Do you happen to be using two factor account authentication?

Tried clearing the app, reloading it, deactivating and re activating the phone\account via google voices web settings.
I am using two factor authentication as per a month ago. but if i recall correctly my google voice was still working with that enabled on my moto x before i got the nexus 5. I could be mistaken though. Anyone?

Mine originally was acting kind of funny upon first install - I uninstalled and re-installed it was fine.

If you're using a prepaid plan, I wonder if this is what you're running into:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/bPJ0u3fJiFo
Look about half-way down the page, it seems that some have needed to have T-Mobile disable their own voicemail in order to get GVoice to work. Maybe this is the answer, maybe not, but I saw it and thought it might help. If you got your Nexus through T-Mobile/postpaid, may not be the answer.

I seem to of found the problem. I was testing calls from my work phone, and they were all getting directed into the Spam folder. You cannot view the spam folder on the android app, however once i moved the calls\voicemails from the spam folder via the web interface, they all came flooding into my phone.

I was noticed odd issues with Google Voice also. When I make a test call to my phone from my wife's phone and it actually calls me twice. Maybe someone else can help me confirm.. Call your phone from another phone and just let it keep ringing. See if it calls twice. Almost seems like its calling both primary and Google Voice #'s

Google Voice not dialing out on Android 5.1

Hi everyone,
For those of you whom are using GV as their primary phone number, you certainly noticed that the phone dialer doesn't work when Google Voice is set to initiate your calls
I thought that the problem would be fixed in no time, but I was wrong. So I decided to give CM13 a chance and everything worked as expected. Great, GV works, my phone works, everything is beautiful.
Except that I got so much used to MIUI7 that I found CM to be very limited.... not to mention that the battery was draining much faster under CM than it was under MIUI.
I went back to my previous system and decided to put a cross on GV... not really a big deal. But I was wondering if this problem could come from a dialer not able to use GV app... hence my question:
Is there an alternative dialer that could be used under MIUI which would "force" GV to work again?
Please don't tell me that Hangouts works just as well, I hate it badly...
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
