[DEV] Bugs: SMS Char Limit *FIXED* and Phantom Voicemail - Hero CDMA Android Development

I'm opening this thread as a place where we can get a few of us together and hopefully work on creating some patches to fix these 2 bugs.
As a background, when running an AOSP based ROM:
1. You will always receive a voicemail notification regardless of whether or not one is present or not. Additionally, this happens when using Google Voice. It appears that a flag is stuck somewhere despite setting the Voicemail app to Google Voice.
**FIXED SEE UPDATE** 2. Using the Stock Messaging App, it is unable to properly split the messages into 160 character segments. The message, after a few minutes, simply fails to send.
Both of these should be happen regardless of whether one runs CM6 or AOSP 0.x.x as it happens in all ROMs that are built from scratch. Thus, our build environment should not be limited to any one particular ROM provided it is an AOSP ROM. That said, while my phone is running AOSP 0.9.7, I will be debugging using the Master Branch of the Android Repository (Running OSX 10.6)
As in all development threads, people need to have fairly extensive programming experience (C and Java). While testing is appreciated, *please do not post in this thread offering assistance*.
Hopefully we can fix these 2 things that continue to persist.

Edit: I have the SMS 160 character problem fixed. Here is the URL. Use ./adb remount and ./adb push to install the updated Mms.apk and reboot. Mms.apk

Just letting you know I don't have any issues. Why don't you just run CyanogenMOD6 lol?

agreed about cm6.
plus how can you label this thread a DEV thread when you havent even started developing anything yet?

You can remove the phantom voicemail icon in CM6?
I know sprint VVM works but idk about the notification ever going away for good

Well I just never had a phantom voicemail in CM6 ever since I've been using it. Have you guys tried removing VVM and using Google Voice?

Yeah, no issues here with those on CM 6.1.0

I've never had an issue with phantom voicemail notifications using Google Voice. However, I did have an issue with autosplit on SMS. Last time I tried to send a text that required to be split into 2 texts, it failed to send. I haven't tried it recently though.

Yeah, that's just an AOSP limitation

I dont have the phantom VM in either CM or AOSP. I get rid of the 9016 Text by using Super Private Conversation (an older version than on the market). Also my texts split already. But instead of 160 characters, it splits using the GSM standard of 140. My phone has always split the texts at 140 regardless if I'm running stock sense or a custom ROM.

160 characters should be easy to circumvent with a (albeit trivial description) simple conditional that:
A. Creates a new message with the same parameters specified in the first one.
B. Checks to ensure that this happens upon hitting 160 characters
It shouldn't hard.
I'm not sure about all the people not getting the Phantom Voicemail notification. I have had it on every single AOSP based ROM I have flashed. Numerous other people do as well.

What makes you think I haven't. I have the entire Android source code, have successfully built it, and am currently sifting through lines of code trying to find where the affected areas are.
My phone is running AOSP 0.9.7 and I have duplicated both problems with CM6, CM6 Nightlies, and CM6.1. With regards to the Phantom Voicemail, the only known workaround is to use Handcent and Sprint VVM and blacklist the 2 messages that you receive containing the VVM info.

The problem should occur when using Google Voice only. The 9016 is the "push" that Sprint does to the Sprint VVM and is normally consumed by Sprints version of VVM.
I forgot that the 9016 isn't the Phantom part and that the "Voicemail Notification" when using GV is. I'll fix the OP.

Also remember that Sprint uses a rather odd system for Voicemail on Android phones. There is 2 seperate places where the Voicemail is saved. They must both be deleted to get rid of the notification. Meaning you have to call 2 seperate number. Your regular Sprint VM (own number) and another number... cant remember off the top of my head tho.

(As far as i know this only works on Sprint)
This was discussed long ago, and i got my sms messages to stop by doing my old reply quoted below: (it just won't stop the VM icon from appearing)
It's also been said, you can switch your account to another phone, activate it, clear out all your messages, then switch your account back to your phone. That will solve your Ghost VM Icon.

I've heard different results about that method, also if you don't have two phones it doesn't really help out at all. Don't mistake what I'm saying as an insult or knocking your method. I just know there's a way to fix this issue we just haven't found it yet

If you stop the SMS Messages, I'm not sure how the Sprint VVM knows how to pull the messages from the server. Regardless, that is something that will happen when using any non-Sprint based ROM unless we modify the stock messaging app to consume those messages.
The Voicemail Notification when using something other than Sprint VVM; however, has no known solution yet.
-Kevin

The "phantom" voicemail notification is different from the SMS messages from Sprint. This is a change made in the Message Waiting state in the android system which triggers a notification "New Voicemail Dial..."
I use CM6 and Google Voice and still get the notification, along with others from the CM6 forums.
I created an issue here with CM6:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2507
Please star or comment to help get this looked into.

In your google voice settings (web login) go to: settings->voice settings->calls(tab). On the very bottom, uncheck "Place missed calls in the inbox".
Perhaps this is the "phantom" voice you are referring to?

Kevin I use to run CM6 then switched to Jaybob's then back to CM6 RC1. Tried some nightlies but after the RC1 experience I have been running AospMod for a while. I haven't used sprints VVM since running damages sense 2.1 roms who knows how long ago and I have never had a phantom voicemail on any Froyo ROM. I have seen various people talk about it but I not even sure what it would look like? Just an FYI

That's so weird. I'm not sure what the explanation is in that case.
As far as what it looks like, the phone will alert you on start up as well as when you switch towers that you have a Voicemail and to dial the number that was set (Even if you aren't using a number as you are using Google Voice).
Even if you call the number, there is nothing there. You can clear the notification every time, but it will just come back.
If anyone has the Master Branch made with gmake, the NotificationMgr.java seems to be contain part of the code for the phantom voicemail; however, it looks to call a method that is returning the wrong value (I haven't been able to debug it yet).
At the same time, it seems like the block of code in NotificationMgr.java that concerns the VM notifications is called after determining that there is a notification, so I'm still somewhat stumped.
-Kevin

I have both the SMS and the VM issue on both CM6 and DDv2.8. I just reverted back to DD b/c I find it runs a lot faster on my HeroC.
I would love to get a fix for both of these issues! Good job starting a thread!

Google Voice problems on 2.x ROMS

Anyone else having issues ?
I setup Google Voice as normal, and I only use if for international numbers.
When I try and make a call, GV starts, but then Sprint kicks in and tells me I cannot make calls to this number ?
Weirdly, it's not happening in Gumbo 1.5c which was my daily use ROM.
I am trying this on RegawMOD 2.0
I haven't heard of a good solution yet.
Does anyone know if GV works properly on the N1 and the Droid? Those two phones are "officially" running 2.1 now.
Wondering if it's a problem with 2.1 across the board, or if the problem only occurs on custom roms.....
For now what I've been doing if I really need a call to go out via google voice is just initiating the call through the web page. Not the best workaround, but it gets the job done.
The only "work-around" is that I can make calls through the web (use the browser), but I can't receive calls. I do receive pushed sms.
Install GV 2.0 (search forfor link), works like a charm on every 2.x I've used.
yupp.only version working is .2.thats what im using

Then it's on! Oh Yeah. Giggity Giggity!
Works for me on DC2r2 although I was getting the same message at first. I had never used it before so I thought I just could dial the number straight out like a regular call but it doesn't work that way. You gotta call your GV number first then there is an option to make an international call. Press that option and enter the number and you should be good.
I have my phone set for GV to make my international calls only though. Don't know if setting it for all calls would allow me to dial the international number directly and not have to call my GV number.

Visual Voicemail for the NS4G??

Anyone get it working? I installed it but couldnt get it to provision Coming from my moment, i now HATE having to call my voicemail. That is so 2009.
Try YouMail or Google Voice. It is much better than the visual voice from sprint.

i've been using "Better You Mail", i've had no issues with it and it works as expected..
Using HulloMail and it's working great. I couldn't take the Sprint/Google integration of Voice myself.

I didn't have that problem. The thing I hated was having to switch between Voice for SMS and regular Messaging app for MMS. I wouldn't mind the integration if Voice handled MMS as well.
I've found that using a third party VVM (HulloMail) app and uninstalling Voice is a great setup, IMO. I also tried Visual Voicemail Plus from the market, but I kept getting two messages for every one left for me. HulloMail is great. The only thing I really miss from Voice is having voice to text sent to me. A lot of the time I'm at a client site and can't listen to messages but can read them.
You have to skip integration when you set up Google Voice.

I also would like a way of getting Sprint's VVM working.
I tried Google Voice for awhile and ending up having serious problems with it.
If there is a way to get Sprint's VVM working, thatd be great!
spoke to Sprint advanced level support today and there was nothing they could do for me.
The way VVM works is that a text message comes in from 9016 that the VVM app picks up and then it goes out to download the voicemail. Without that text message coming in, the app will not know to retrieve any messages.
When I loaded my first cynogen rom on my htc hero, my account wasn't provisioned correctly and they weren't sending the text message anymore. I had called into advance tech support and they reset my voicemail to make it work again.
Now, on my Nexus S, I have the app loaded and it even sent back a text message saying it provisioned correctly. I guess the problem is that sprint knows I have a nexus and because of that, my account is on a different "platform" now. That platform does not utilize the messaging system for VVM and thus the notification does not come to my phone letting the VVM app know there is a voicemail to retrieve.

Thanks for the tip about Youmail. I wish I heard of this earlier. This is by far the best replacement for Sprint VVM. I hate Google Voice where it always shows you your SMS messages.
I tried Better Youmail at first since it seemed to get better market reviews. It was driving my nuts how when you put the phone in airplane mode it keeps telling you how it can't connect and I couldn't find a way to turn that off.
So I tried the regular Youmail and that worked great so I don't get the "can't connect" messages, and I could easily find a way to turn of the additional text and email notifications. There's two versions of regular Youmail on the market. The one I like best is the Youmail EOL (end of life?). The interface is black and simple just like Sprint VVM which I love.
The only thing that isn't perfect it has ads and suggestions to sign up for message transcriptions every time you play your VM. Youmail Pro disables the ads but it's $20 per year, and who knows what it looks like.
Youmail wasn't as nice and reliable as I thought.
I gave Google Voice another try and it no longer shows new SMS messages. I just installed it from market and didn't do any special Sprint integration. Not quite sure what I did or why it was so easy to turn off the SMS integration this time, but I really like it now: SMS on the messaging app, and VVM via Google Voice only, no dual notifications, no SMS going to Google Voice.

Thanks for the tips. After an hour of screwing around with the 2 Nexuses (Nexi???) in my house, sending dummy texts and VM's back and forth, I finally got it straightened out.
For those starting from scratch on a new phone:
1) If you have a VM notification on your taskbar, log into sprint voicemail once the old fashioned way, or else the notification will never go away. once it does go away...
2) Install updates to google voice from market
3) Launch GV, skip the integration step (or else SMS will be hijacked), set all the minimalist (my term) options in GV... don't let it make calls, etc... ONLY use it for VM's (I had to call a special *28 number for config but it might be because my GV #is different from sprint#... although in the end that is transparent to people calling my sprint # which was my goal).
4) In GV settings in your phone, turn on taskbar notification, but turn off SMS notification. In GV settings on PC at google.com/voice, turn off SMS notification AND email notification... but leave on transcripts (my preference... this is one place where GV is superior to sprint VVM... getting transcripts is pretty damn cool!)
When all is said and done, it seems to be mostly equivalent to old Sprint VVM, actually slightly better with the addition of transcripts as said above. My SMS works 100% normal. I don't have a lot of real world use yet, but from my tests the GV for voicemails only seems like it will work great.

According to Sprint it is not possible to provision the Nexus S 4G to the Sprint Visual Voicemail system. Choices are GV and regular voicemail.

By "stock," you actually mean "Sprint," which isn't really stock in the sense of Google stock or Android stock.
Give GV a chance, you will see it has everything the Sprint app had and more.
Oh, no, I actually like GV myself. The only problem is I'm having an issue missing phone calls with my NS4G, and I'm thinking GV might be to blame.

[Q] GSLEON3's visual voicemail

Alright, a search didn't turn anything up, so I'm going to ask and risk wrath.
I d/l and installed GSLEON3's VVM apk thinking that since I came from an iphone, I might be able to take advantage. So, my questions are: Has anyone checked into VVM for the Inspire? Can I swap my SIM back into the iPhone to get VVM reprovisioned on the line and then use the app I have?
I should probably leave well enough alone, but running a rooted phone indicates that I don't have that kind of sense.

in call settings change your voicemail service to google voice. then in voicemail settings change the number to your gvoice number. mine did it all when i installed gvoice.
Well, I set this up, as I had a GV# already. My only complaint is that an incoming call rings nine times before going to voicemail. the problem is that it rings to AT&T (4-5 rings) then still has to fulfill GV's requisite 30 seconds of ringing before being picked up. Anyone know a workaround to that?!
:facepalm: Nevermind. I had it set to ring my Google Chat (so I could use GrooVeIP). Unchecked all forwarding numbers and it now goes straight to the outgoing message.

Sprint voicemail issues

Hi all,
Have any fellow Sprint users figured out how to get voicemail to work properly on this phone? I can dial 1 to check it if course, but I don't get any kind of notification when someone leaves a voicemail for me. I'm also getting those annoying 9016 and 8737 texts all the time. I tried pulling the Sprint Voicemail APK from my GS4 and pushing it to the system/app folder on my N5, but it still doesn't give me any notifications.
Anyway, does someone have a fix for this? I'd prefer not to call Sprint if I don't have to. Thanks!
Im on Sprint, and I don't have this issue. What ROM are you running? I used to get those annoying 9016 texts, two phones ago, when I ran aosp Roms on my old evo
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Unfortunately, i haven't seen any progress on the sprint voice mail app. You can either integrate your sprint number with Google voice to handle all voice mails or
If you want to keep separate numbers, forward missed and busy calls to your Google voice number (*28 Google number) and set Google voice to "do not disturb" so it goes straight to voice mail.

There are a few few threads about this. None have any resolution aside from use GV.
I cannot use GV and I do (did) get the 9016 without any other notifications. I now use PF Voicemail+. It's pretty close the Sprint VVM app we're used to. It took a little bit to set up but it seems to work. I now get push notifications and email when I get voicemail.
Still wish Sprint would allow the N5 on the VVM service.
I have the N5 on Sprint and after posting on their forms I can tell you that I don't think Sprint is going to give us a Stand Alone VMM app. I have installed Google Voice on 2 different N5's with Sprint and set it up to handle just the Voicemail and it works perfect on both phones. I have seen other threads with people getting the 9016 text. Before I set up Google Voice, whenever someone left me a Voicemail I got the notification to call, but never the 9016 so I don't have any advice for you there.

Visual voicemail (Verizon)

I was curious if anyone else with Verizon had a problem in the stock phone app not being able to read your visual voicemail. After I get a voicemail the only time I can read it it's for a few seconds when I get the notification at the top of the phone. When you go into open the app all you can do is listen to them. I tried a bunch of different Google dialers which worked but no voicemail works with any of them.

I kind of got it working on the havoc ROM. Every now and then it says starting visual voicemail. But it's working
I am stock. Visual Voicemail has worked with my Verizon sim since day one for me.
Wth is visual voicemail? My first real smartphone
Visual Voicemail from Verizon essentially lists the voicemails you have on your account. It will typically list them in the dialer you are using. Instead of having to dial out and check your messages, you can simply click on it in the list. You can manage them that way too. One step further is having Visual Voicemail to Text which has the actual message transcribed into the feed so that you can read it versus listening to it.
I prefer using Google voice for vm you free transcripts texted to you
I think OP is talking about voicemail to text as I was having the same exact issue. It is really annoying. Especially when you have to pay $2.99/mo for the transcription.

Anyone else, same thing happens to me. The notification has the transcript so I know it's "somewhere" but can't ever see it.
This is actually comprised of two underlying issues.... see my breakdown here:
