Sprint Visual Voicemail?

Is it possible to get visual voicemail working? I found an APK, but nothing shows up. I have the persistent notification.
Thanks

i too would like a solution without being force to use google voice. at the moment the phone doesn't alert me with a light notification or visual notification of any kind. i have to hold 1 to call myself to see if i have any messages :\ i have a business and really need the 2 numbers separate separate (sprint and GV).

I have the same situation. I've asked this question across multiple sites with no suggestions. I'm hoping once Sprint officially releases their M
N5 we'll have some option.

Sprint voicemail notification

I cannot seem to find a rom that doesn't alert me of fictitious voicemails. I have zero messages and get it won't go away. I have tried stopping the phone process and that does clear the notification but only for 30 seconds or so. Its quite annoying. Does anyone on sprint know of or is currently running a rom that doesn't do this?

I'm on sprint and I have not gotten one system alert for voicemails. When I get a voicemail I get a blank text message from a 4 digit number. Is that way on stock and every rom ive tried.

Really? Its been a problem for me since day 1..... Odd that you would have a different voicemail issue. Here's a screenshot. It never goes away.

I've actually never even seen the notification for voicemail on the 3 nexus5s I've used. First was defective second I broke 3rd still the same. Voicemail just sends me a blank text. Can't remember if I've actually even set up my voicemail, It might still be at all defaults with no greeting and just my number. I've read of several people with the same problems so i haven't messed with mine cause i like it how it is.

Supposedly, this update fixed the voicemail but that was a trecherous lie. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-to-kot49h-today-but-what-happened-to-kot49e/
Two options at this point in time:
1) Get Cyanogenmod 11 M2 (or nightlies), this will allow you to swipe dismiss the notification. Another option is to take out the /system/app/phone.apk from the CM11 M2 ROM and put it in your stock ROM to get the swipe dismiss.
2) Hold down the VM notification and goto App Info and force close. (dont need to delete data nedjo67)
It will stay at 2 messages at any time. It basically is broken. You can use google voice to get REAL notifications that actually work but it will still show the broken voice mail notification.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I complained about this a while ago but Sprint does not think its a priority? Best place to get Sprint to fix it is to go on twitter and tell @sprintcare about your problem. Also make sure you tell @sprintcare that you are on the newest update or they will recommend you upgrade (not an actually solution for us, duh). The more people to harass @sprintcare, the better.

How to get notifications from Google Now back?

For a few weeks now I no longer see things from Google Now in the notifications pulldown. Was kind of a nice feature to see the weather and such in that without having to actually go into Google Now. Not sure if it was a Google Search update or Google Launcher update that took this away but I can't be the only person to notice that it is gone now from both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Any idea how to get it back?

Did you turn notifications off within Google Now?

+1 long press screen then settings notifications. Also check in settings apps Google now launcher check box for show notifications.

It only shows up a notification whenever the card updates.

Nope. They've always been on. Still nothing ever appears in the notification pulldown from it at all anymore.

No one else with any ideas?

I had the same issue since about 2 weeks ago, tried a few things, in the end I checked in "Manage Apps" and the receive notifications check box was unchecked... :/
Rechecked it, rebooted and all OK since then

How to stop incoming calls from preventing you to use the phone?

Hi...

I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.

I can't find the dialer in playstore, i downloaded from apkmirror and i can't install to my phone. Maybe can y help me?

Ahh yeah you need a specific one. This works well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-root-google-dialer-10-1-161735957-t3636608
grab version 17 or newer

Great thanks
But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app

Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.

I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!

You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)

Permanently remove voicemail notification from status bar

Greetings everyone, I have a really annoying problem with my OP7 Pro. Lately, there is a notification on the status bar for voicemail. However, the SIM card I'm using in the phone is very basic - it only offers straight calling and SMS. Voicemail is not even a feature that's provided by the mobile company. So, I cannot understand why it suddenly showed up or what I can do to get rid of it. Since I have no access to voicemail, there are obviously no messages that I could check for, nor would I be able to delete any non-existent message.
I've long pressed on the pulldown notification and chose to "turn off" the notifications. Then there will be a message that states "you will not see these notifications anymore". Except, it's not true. About 5 to 10 seconds later, the voicemail notification is already back on the status bar. I've also checked the Phone app and cleared Cache as well as Storage. When I cleared Storage, the voicemail notification did indeed disappear - for about 5 seconds. Then it shows right back up again.
If someone could offer any suggestions how I could get rid of it forever, it would be so helpful.
If it helps, I'm using standard stock Oxygen ROM 10.3.7
Thank you!

Not sure if there is an easier or better way to solve this on the OnePlus 7 Pro, but back when I had a Samsung Note 9 I had a similar issue where it would consistently show a notification for Wifi Calling. I used an app called AutoNotification, which is on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification&hl=en_US. This app is from the creator of Tasker, and has been a godsend for me. To actually purchase the app, I think you'll need to install the main app called AutoApps or something. Definitely worth a try! Hope it works for you If you need help setting it up feel free to ask.
