Here is the Sprint VVM.zip. Thanks to c00ller for that good tip. I'm also adding the Sprint navigation app for anyone who wants it. Enjoy!
Instructions:
Flash it from recovery like a rom, and then use this to block the annoying texts!!!
that was easy, thank you

What launcher are you using? Because this has nothing to do with the power control widget, nor does it affect it in any way.

That is correct. Blacklist the messages and you won't see them or have a notification sound or image in the bar.

The new voicemail showing up on boot is a CM6 issue with some phones. Nothing I can do about that, some phones just have that ghost notification
so i flashed the voicemail zip the other day i got the app. but it doesn't work. If i call my cell phone with another phone it rings and i don't pick up. Than instead of saying you have reached the sprint voicemail box and so on it just says the person you have called is not in service and sometimes it doesn't say anything and just hangs up. Also i put my number in as the voicemail number and if i call voicemail from my phone it takes me there and says to put my passcode in, so its working but not if someone calls me. Why am i having this problem?

This is a first for me. I can't find the actual App so I can click and listen to my Visual Voicemail. Do I have to call to get my messages, or are they downloaded to the phone and I'm just missing where they are?? Thanks.

The app should be there, try flashing again and tell me how it goes.
Handcent - VVM
I have installed the Sprint VVM and Handcent. When I get a voicemail I still get the text message through the messaging app that comes with the rom. So, it does not have a chance to block through Handcent. Any ideas...

In handcent, long press on the text thread from the VVM number. Select blacklist, and the notifications from the messages will stop, along with the thread itself being hidden.
I did that but I still get the messages through the normal messaging not Handcent. Do I have to do this in a certain order? I have tried rebooting the phone. I had someone text me to see where the message would come to and it shows up in Handcent but the notification in the notification bar takes me to the normal messaging not Handcent.
Can you disable the stock messaging in the rom?
Thanks,
David

Go into your messages app, hit menu, options, and then uncheck notifications. That way you don't get 2 notifications for every message, you only get handcent's.
So one problem I have noticed was that if I was in any app and someone would call in and after they left it would jump to the call log. I'm wondering if its possible to disable this, as when I'm playing games it would not revert back to the game I was playing and I would have to load it again

Hi,
I remember back in the gingerbread and ICS days... the ROMs that I used had the option for the phone calls to come in on background... meaning I would see it first in the status bar while I was playing a game or in an app. Then I could decide to answer and after the call it would jump back to where I was.
I'm sure there has to be a ROM or mod that would allow this to happen.
I'll search for u and get back.
What is ur setup right now? ROM?

Paranoid Android with marmite kernel! Thank you! My attempt has been unsuccessful :thumbdown:
I have a weird bug/problem. On my nexus 5, whenever i hangup a phone call the end button and screen do not go away. The back button does not work but the home and recent apps does. Any help would be appreciated. I can upload a video of the problem. MODS: sorry if this is the wrong area. please move if necessary.

Having the same problem! really annoying!!! Was not how Nexus 4 was or any other phone I have used. There have been settings on some dialers of what to do after hanging up, like return to dialer, return to call log or home screen. None on this built apparently.

Try wiping play store app data.
I tried wiping the just the general play store data before and it didn't fix the issue. Just wiped all play related data: magazine, books, etc and it solved the issue. Thanks

i had the exact same issue, or more precisely :
I receive or pass a call. then, instead of going to the "in call" screen with the big red "hang up" button, i'm back to the home screen...
now this can happen, if i press the home button, but i don't. And if that was that, then first i would have the small "phone" logo in the upper left notification telling me i'm currently in call, and the "in call" screen would be accessible from the task manager, however the task manager displays absolutely nothing.... just like i wasn't making any call at all, except i can hear the person on the other side in my speaker.
Then i click on the big blue phone logo to get to the dialer screen, but i then get a screen which i never had before, with a black transparent background, proposing me to either use the default keyboard (if i click it i get the keyboard), either to "return to current call", and when i click it, i'm back to the homescreen... so the only way to hang up is to shut the phone down...
it's happened to me twice yesterday, but never before....
PS: just so we might find a common app that would cause the issue, i have installed on my N5 these apps :
dashclock
file manager
prochain bus
ridiculous fishing
sygic
today calendar
vlc
and thats all. Any of you have some apps in common ?
I also had the same issue during the first week or so...but with tym and aftr update the issue vanished!! Since 2014 i nvr faced this issue again!!

Different Dialer problem
Hi,
I am rooted running beanstalk. But before flashing had stock rom then Purity.
This problem happened after flashing Purity ROM.
When I make or receive a call, my screen goes blank and I cannot do,anything to wake the phone, unless the other party ends the call and then the screen may wake up if I touch the screen?!
Anyone else, please help.

Fixed mine by turning off developer options and then rebooting
I was wondering if there is anyway to get the dialer to search the recent calls like most smart dialers do. This one seems to only check saved contacts.

I don't think there's a way to do that with this dialer but you can always download a replacement https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller.phoneapp

That app messed up the phone completely . calls coming ring or buzz but dont pop up the ability to answer the call.
So I uninstalled it but weirdly it fixed the google voice issue that so many have complained about. previously you couldnt choose to dial out with google voice that it would show the GV number. Now it does so thanks because that was important.

I'm fond of rocketdialer. It has many themes and might be more to your liking. Oh and "truecaller" for callerid.
Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

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)
