(REQ) Sprint VVM for 2.3.x

I've noticed that all the Sprint VVM apps floating around are outdated and I'm assuming that's the reason they don't seem to work any more. Does anyone have a confirmed working version? The .48 version that you have to extract the titanium back up folder doesn't work. I've tried manually backing up the old fresh 2.1 version and got no where. I even used decks gapps with VVM included. Anyone got anything new that works? Thanks in advance!

114 views so obviously people are curious about this or can't get theirs working either. So what are you guys using instead? Fusion sucked and I can't get gv to work without it taking over my text messaging. Any suggestions?

Nandroids are for sissies.
Bang!

It installed. Ill update later if i can get a vm or not. Dont see why i couldnt...
Edit: yeah... I couldnt. It wouldnt verify my account. I f*ckin hate gv. I just want something for voicemails and something for texts. I dont want gv to handle them both and store them on their site and all the other bullsh*t.

New Sprint visual voicemail with text option
Here you go: Down load this attachment ; vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production to your sd card and use Root Explorer to install it. If for what ever reason you can't download the attachment, then google ( x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4) download it and use (Root Explorer) if you are using you phone. Go to SYSTEM/APP/ locate vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production, copy it and paste to phones sd card . From there all you have to do is install it in what ever Rom you are using i.e. CM7 or MIUI; Use Root Explorer it makes it easer. It also will get rid of the gost voicemail notification on Evo Shift.

I too hate GV since they changed the way it works. I decided to try Better YouMail from the market and couldn't be happier. $3 was well worth the lack of frustration. I like the interface it uses better than GV or Sprint VVM.

is this newer than the .48 version.
im running cm7 & have the .48 version installed & working, so is this an upgrade to .48

yes its the latest version, its works great on cm7 on my shift

I to am using YouMail and love it! Much better then VVM and by far better then Google Voice. There are so many options and best of all its free. Of course there is a subscription available too but I dont need my voice mails transcribed for me so the free version works just perfect.

[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.

Save the 9016 as a contact and go into your messages APP, Now set up your block password and add the 9016 to the list of Blocked contacts. Problem solved .

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!!!

flashed synergy rom and lost visual voice mail

i tried asking this in synergy rom tread but wasnt allowed acces for that yet and wasnt able to post.
i flashed the recent synergy rom 1.3 and has been debloated and in the process lost the native visual voice mail. tried downloading the removed apk folder and installing that way and found it had a .odex file that i couldnt do anything with. i also tryed combining the apk and odex file but had no idea what to do with java and baksmali and smali, whether i do this on the phone itself or on pc.
is there a simple way loading the apk and odex or if there is an apk already combined available.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

it's a verizon thing. they charge like 1.99 a month IIRC for it.

The Verizon variant, along with most of the others, comes with a carrier supplied visual voicemail app that you must opt in to in order to access your voicemails from the app, instead of calling for it. I pay for mine, so I would like very much to get it back on my phone. Any help would make my day!

Um... Use Google voice. Superior to Verizon visual voice mail in every way.
Using vzw visual voice mail is like using Verizon navigator instead of google maps...

Visual Voice Mail for AOSP [Need Help]

I'm trying to get Verizon Visual Voicemail working on CM10 on SGS3. I have 3 different apk's:
Verizon's Visual Voicemail from the market (pulled from my DInc)
Verizon's Visual Voicemail Nexus from the market (after a few build.prop edits)
Stock Touchwiz Visual Voicemail (Thanks to NoSympathy)
Both market versions install without a problem, but have connection timeouts when trying to verify my vvm subscription.
The Touchwiz version won't even install.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm digging through the apk's to try and find why both market versions time out.

I would try stuff from the gnex since it is built for AOSP

The Visual Voicemail Nexus app from the market is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I was digging through the code last night until about 10:00 and I'm starting to think it may be an APN problem...

You are correct, however - I think what con's trying to refer you to is what I'd try first - go online and search "verizon galaxy nexus visual voicemail apk", find it, download it, transfer to your phone, and install from "unknown souce". It may work right off the bat, but it may not also. If not, it sure will give you a good starting point with where to go with it since A) its already build for AOSP and B) already built to communicate with the Verizon network.
Good luck!

Rather than beating your head in trying to get it to work you could save the 3 or 4 bucks a month and just use Google voice, is kind of irritating through the initial setup but in the end works well and does the same thing. Just my 0.02

Could you post the apk for the Stock one? I've been trying to get my hands on it since synergy ROM doesn't have it included and now I can't even see any of the voicemail apps in the market. Short of flashing back to stock ripping it and then re-flashing the ROM I don't know how else to get ahold of it lol.

With the Droid Incredible I had to do these steps to get Verizons visual voice mail to work with CM7.2
Use file manager and go to "/system"
Mount the folder R/W(Read/Write
open build.prop in Text Editor
look for "ro.horizontalVvvm = True" and chenge it to False
look for "ro.horizontalBUA = True" and change it to False
save your edit, and back out to thr "/system" folder. Once again switch the directory back to R/O, exit your apps and reboot.
You shoulkd now be able to install your Vvm.apk without it telling you to uninstall it because one is already installed.
Note I am using Virtuous rom however it should work for most roms I would imagine.
If you do not have a Vvm.apk here is one from the Droid X but it works great on my incredible. Looks almost like the stock incredible version.

The stock vvm app installs fine, it just hangs while trying to verify the subscription. I thought it might have been the ro.horizontal.vvm line in the build.prop like on cm7, but that line wasn't even in there. I added it just to see and it made no difference. I switched to Google voice and I'm loving how it integrates directly into the phone app instead of having to run a separate vvm app. Thanks for the post.
Btw, anyone wanting the stock tw or old Verizon apk, feel free to pm me and ill send it to you.

Sorry for not being too much help, but is Verizon's VVM better than Google Voice?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Even when it was working on tw, no. Google voice is infinitely better, especially once you have it incorporated into the aosp phone app. The voice mails show up in your call log. Only problem is had was recording my greeting. After the initial setup, it's totally seamless.

The only problem I have with using google voice is that it like stores all my text messages. Not cool.
otherwise I'd use google voice. Unles there is a way to turn that off.

Looking for Sprint Voicemail APK for JB, CM10 or 10.1

Hey yall I am trying to restore my Sprint VVM and I have downloaded a few random APKs from xda and pushed them to system and they are fizzling out in the long run. Glitchy and not working properly.
If anyone has some files they know will work on JB, CM10 or CM10.1 please post up or point me in the right direction. I think others will find this info useful as well as most people prefer VVM to google voice and the loss of VM in CM builds is unbearable.
Can someone pull the file from the soak test? Is there a link to the soak test file still where I can try and pull it?
TIA

Did you check this thread? OP says it works on CM10.

I've tried both of these, one comes from the post linked above, and neither of them work. The 3mb file at least stays open without crashing but it never retreives any voicemails.
Anyone, be sure and let me know if/how you get these to work.

It says call 605******* but doesnt work. What does work is hold down 1 in the dial pad. It calls your voicemail and you enter yur password and then you get your voicemail. I also got the 9016 message with it as well. But regardless you have the ability to listen to your voicemail. I have the apk that im using for this to work but dont now how to upload it to xda.

I went into my stock asanti C zip using Solid Explorer and moved over 2 apk files that were both in the system/app folder. First was SprintVoiceMail.apk @ 64.78kb. Second was VVM.apk which was 3.58mb. I thought I needed them both since they were both in that zip file. But when I rebooted I had 2 voicemail apps. The 64kb one direct dials VM and the 3.5mb one obviously is the VVM app. I successfully sent the activation text ([email protected]) and got some sort of confirmation message on screen (forget now) and then I even sent a VM to myself to test it. It took a few minutes to come in but it did. But then I got a call a little bit later and the guy left me a message cuz I got the 9016 but I never got the VVM notification. Indeed, its not in my VVM inbox either. Can you please confirm which of these files you have in your system/app folder? Did you install or extract to those files or simply move/copy to from the zip as I did?
TIA

I just copied the vvm apk to system/app and rebooted. When i get a voicemail i dont get a notification in the app either. But i get a text thst says the phone number that left the voicemail. Then i hold 1 in the phone dialer and it calls voicemail and i listen to the voicemail. I know its eritating not being able to use the app itself but at least you have the ability to listen to voicemail
