Is there a fix for google voice on the 2.1 roms?

I've got a workaround going through the browser but something for the app would be nice.

Yes I have searched the threads.

What's the problem? I installed GV fine on my phone, and am using it for voicemail.

that's pretty interesting, I didn't realize mine was broke untill you said something.... interesting... hmm
now are you sure it's all 2.1 roms? darch's 2.1 aosp I could have sworn google voice was working on it.
EDIT: check outgoing phone calls via google voice

was darch, now fresh, will go back to darch once he updates to .29 kernel

My GV works perfect on Gumbo 2.1

If I need to dial out to somewhere it matters I gotta go through the web browser. Just like I had to on my blackberry.

it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.

How would I pull that out of the rom?

pull and replace the following
\system\app\phone.apk
\system\app\phone.odex
I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate

It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.

I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?
Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!

I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.

In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!
Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.

Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough

suckage
I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.
Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

Sprint nfl on cm6 nightlys & RC2 ~UPDATED~

If your like me then you really enjoy flashing them CM6 Nightlys so perfect in every way but wait I cant get my Sprint NFL apk to work football season is here what can I do? Well I found a solution.
1)Nandroid your current CM6 (of course)
2)Flash a “stock” 2.2 rom that way it has all original apks
3)Click Sprint NFL you will immeadiatly be prompted to upgrade do this
4)Now if you don’t already use Titanium Backup download it from the market it is free
5)Now run the backup all apks and system data (you can deselect all and check Sprint NFL no reason to back everything)
6)Now nandroid back to your CM6 install the Sprint NFL apk(I will include it in case you don’t have a copy on deck)
7)If you don’t already have Titanium get it again same place
8)Run the restore all apks and system data(deselect all like before so its just the Sprint NFL)
NOW YOUR SPRINT NFL WILL BE UPGRADED AND ABLE TO FUNCTION ON CM6!!
Hope this helps some football fans cuz its actually a pretty good apk OH ALSO YOU MUST ALSO HAVE THE SPRINT UPDATER APK INSTALLED IF YOU USE VISUAL VOICEMAIL YOU DO IM SURE IF NOT I WILL ALSO INCLUDE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OKAY SO I NOTICED SOME PEOPLE WERE HAVING A LIL BIT OF TROUBLE SO I DECIDED TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE THINGS EASIER AND AFTER SOME FAIRY DUST AND TESTING NOW IT IS. THERE IS NOW A NEW AND ALTERED NFL APK LINK WHICH WILL WORK ON CM6 NIGHTLIES AS WELL AS RC2 WHATEVER YOUR THING MAY BE. AS SAID BEFORE YOU DO NEED SPRINT APP UPDATER IF YOU USE VISUAL VOICE MAIL THEN YOU HAVE IT. I SEEN QUESTIONS LIKE CAN YOU WATCH LIVE GAMES THIS I DONT KNO BUT THERE ARE VIDEOS AND COULD BE POSSIBLE AND IF I DIDNT THINK THIS WAS A GREAT APK I WOULDNT WASTE MY TIME PLUS IM DIGGING THE ANDROID OS AND WELL I GUESS EVERYBODY STARTS SMALL. THAT SAID GO STEELERS AND I HOPE FOOTBALL FANS APPRICIATE THIS. SO FORGET ABOUT THE TITANIUM PROCESS JUST INSTALL THE APK GOOD 2 GO!!!

I have been trying to get this to work on AOSP for weeks, thanks for the help!!

Works great, thanks.

AWESOME!!!
Thank you so much you just saved me so much time! this forum rocks!

Ok so I followed the instructions to get it working but when I try to open the Sprint NFL app, it shows the initial screen but the just goes back to my home page.
Any ideas what I did wrong?

I have the exact same problem, I start it and within a few seconds I get booted back to my home screen.

zeropants, is your wifi turned on and connected??

Im not sure what directions your talking of bcuz the latests post I did alls you have to do is install the app and you do need sprint updater app which is also included. Also what rom are you using?

On a side note...changing ur SPRINT banner with cdma workshop will not allow NFL live to work. I had this happen and just changing it back to 'Sprint' works. It told me I was not a Sprint/Nextel customer and only option was to exit....so no special banner for me just yet.

Skype over 3G working in the US. Confirmed!

Hey guys.
Looks like the new Skype app won't work over 3G in the US, probably because the carriers would whine about it.
I have put together a modified version of the skype apk from the market that *should* work over 3G anywhere. Be sure to uninstall the Market app first!
Download Here!

Brilliant
Great idea, but I can't sign in. Over both WiFi and 3G I get the "can't sign in" error: "We're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please try again later." The stock app works for me, though. I'll be following this thread, though, and I hope you can get it to work!

A friend of mine had the same issue, but he couldn't sign in over the Market app either. Are you able to sign in using the new Market app? Or the verizon-specific one?

Last night I was able to sign in without problem using the market app, but now it's not working either. I'll give them both a try when I get home.

Can you make this work over wifi?

I made a skype account, and indeed I cannot sign in, even with the Market app. I will update this thread later when I get home and I can try it on my Wifi at home. But i kind of doubt you wouldn't be able to sign in and view your account balance or something over 3G. I imagine they would just disable the calling itself.

Ok, I am able to sign in! Looks like it was just an issue with Skype's servers getting overloaded. Anyway - let me know if you can call over 3g!

I think this is working. I made a call from the skype app and the call went through fine and showed my skypeout number on the caller ID. Thanks!

working on my incredible, thanks!

Doesn't work on my Droid 1.
(SS 4.8)

great it works Thx

works on my evo!

Amazing! Thank you so much for figuring this out. We finally have a Skype app that works for any situation!
I tried decompiling the Skype app to figure out how it excluded U.S. users from using 3g, but it was way outside my area of expertise. I couldn't figure out what triggered the switch to display the "You need to use WiFi" message. I'm glad someone was able to do it!

sorry wrong forum!!!

Thanks !

Are you sure? I unlocked the Skype app the day it came out. But I guess it is possible someone else did that too.

AT&T Visual voicemail

I flashed the t-mobile rom and it won't let me install AT&T visual voicemail saying the device isn't compatible. I was wondering if any of you guys can upload the APK for me. Thanks

I think this is it!

Won't install on beastmod for me, pushing to system/app and changing permissions won't install either. Boo

I have visual voicemail installed but no messages appear on the app. Its just blank. It was working before I changed my APN... Anybody else visual voicemail not working?

I beloved this happens because the apk files looks at the build.prop file to see if its a vivid or a skyrocket. I have been trying to.install the file to my OG GS2 to no avail. Maybe somebody could edit the apk to make it work on others devices.

Visual Voicemail will only work or install with the pta or phone APN.

I have the PTA apn, still no go

I'm using PTA APN and have even gone as far as editing the build.prop to match the settings in the stock AT&T ROM. Still no go. Market even recognizes it as the correct device.

I am going to try and streamline this tmo rom thing tomorrow so it works a little better. More of a complete conversion. I will add getting that apk working to my list

I tracked down an apk awhile back for it that worked on every rom I've used. Even cm7 and revenge of mcnut. I passed it on to sean to include with cyanotouchwiz. Go to the cyanotouchwiz thread, and in the OP its attached at the bottom. Use app installer from the market to install it.
I would just like to make a note that I never got a voicemail while on mcnut so I can't say for that but it installed.

Sorry if this seems nooby but I've only used google voice for my voicemails is visual voicemail any good and how do they differ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

Same thing. Google voice works well so I've always used it, plus when/if we get ota ics its built into the dialer so u dont have to switch apps.

[Fix]- VVM on all sense 3.5 Roms

Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****

I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.

I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!

Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.

It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?

I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.

That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM

Worked perfectly, thanks!!!
