Sprint visual voicemail app(svvm) on CM7 - Motorola Photon 4G

Ive heard of people bringing the stock voicemail app from their Evos and stuff over to roms, and followed a few tutorials for CM7 and none of them work for my photon on CM7. It basically consists of making a Titanium backup from a stock rom of the voicemail app then installing an apk provided on whatever rom your running and restoring the data via Titanium.. however this doesnt work for me. The apk installs and i restore data fine but when i send myself a message all i ever get is the text message announcement of it and it never appears within the voicemail app, like it should, and used to, and the text message provides a phone number to call to listen to the message. Has anyone been able to get this to work on Photon? If so can you provide the .apk you used and specific instructions of what you did?

I used titanium to back it up from stock and used titanium to restore app&data. then I used thus trick to get it going. try sending this compose to:
[email protected]
hit record let it go for 12-16 seconds
click send. you should get a message saying provisioned successful sometimes you have to disable forwarding I think its
*38 enter and call with dialer will hear some beeps.. might try the *38 then the provisioning hope it helped

I called the *38 and it beeped for a while, then disconnected after 12 seconds. The VM app is already trying to send that same message you said, to the [email protected], but its stuck in the undelivered section and wont send. When i tell TI Backup to restore app+data it tries to install, and fails upon trying to install the actual app(i read you have to install via an apk, one i downloaded from a post in evo section) but it restores data fine.

might work might not but here is a vvm app you can try
heres a link might help you also

gl hope ya get it working might try uninstalling it entirely then wiping any data/info/cache it has left on your phone reboot then try the *38 reinstall it then try the activate message again
gl man
ill try and figure out how to pull mine and post it just a little dunk and a little tired atm to mess with it edit..... went ahead and pulled the apk zipped it and posted it is the same one im using.

Is Texting possible?

I have noticed some of you appear to be answering posts from your Gtab and have the XDA app signature.
How can I send txt msgs from a NON Rooted Gtab? Is it even possible and what app would I need to do so. I use Handcent on my EVO and love the app but it doesn't seem to send txts from the Gtab.
Any help would be appreicated and Thanks in advance.

Sync sms Is a paid app on the market. You need to have a free dropbox acct to use it. Sends the text to your phone, then the phone actually sends the message.
Works fine for me

Google voice question
I saw this post and squeezed in some time to set up google voice. It did work in that I could send texts but I'm not sure what is happening. Is google using my droid x phone's text account - that is am I eating into my monthly texting amount with Verizon when I text from the g-tab? I tried calling my google voice number and my cell phone rang. I didn't answer it but left myself a voicemail. Interestingly enough, Google voice converted it to text and sent it to my gtab. When I send a text from my g-tab I get a copy on my droid x. I tried looking for additional configuration settings on the google voice website when I was signed in but if they are there then they are well hidden. I'm sure that with enough futzing around I'll find the right settings and being able to send and receive texts from the g-tab is awesome but I sure would like to know exactly how Google is playing with my cell phone. I don't think you can set it up without a valid phone number to verify with so you have to give them your real phone number. Experienced users - please chime in.
Wasn't hard at all, just DL it from the market. Make sure to load the Settings also.
It will then guide you through the setup which is really easy.
However, I have decided to remove it from use because it disconnected Handcent from my phone and I really like Handcent with all its features much better and since Iwill do very little txting from my Gtab and do most all my txting while mobile with my EVO, I see no real need for txting on the Gtab.
I will continue to search for another way to txt from the Gtab as long as it doesnt interfer with Handcent on my phone.

Square 1, as you can see by my last post, I wasn't happy with the Google Voice situation so I will ask you if using Sync sms will cause me problems as well. Since I would be paying for this app, I'd like to know if you know any downside to it. As I stated, I really like Handcent on my phone and I would like to continue using it. Will Sync sms interfere with it on my phone to your knowledge? Any light you or anyone else can shed would be appreicated. Also, can you send me the market link for this app please. I am having trouble locating a market that will allow me to DL to my Gtab.
Thanks again

The only thing with syncsms is that sometimes it takes a minute or two for the text to be received on the other end. The outgoing texts will show up in handcent just like you sent them from the phone. (that is actually what the app is doing, so yeah, it uses your phone texts from your plan (if not unlimited.

@ dig'em,
Do you have any idea where I can DL Syncsms to my Gtab? All the markets I have on the Gtab either will not let me DL or they say I already have DL'd it to my EVO and instruct me to pick another device. When I attempt to pick another device, either it won't let me make the selection or if it does, and I hit install, nothing happens on the Gtab.
I have it DL'd on my EVO and its running in the background. I have also noticed it placed two new folders on my DropBox, sms_out & sms-in. Searching my EVO with ES Explorer but I can't seem to find the .apk so I can copy over to my Gtab. I have also sent emails to the Developer which he responded to very quickly, but my last email to him hasn't been answered. In that email, I told him what I just said above and asked if there is a place where I can DL the .apk. Even sent him proof of purchase.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks in advance,

You can use bluetooth file transfer (free in the market) to send apps between devices, make sure BTFT is installed on both devices. So from your EVO you can send the apk to your gtab.

Thanks for the info however, I can't find the .apk on my EVO. Used ES Explorer and can't seem to locate it. Found other .apk's in Sytem>Apps but not the .apk for Syncsms. Any idea's? Also, neither my EVO or my Gtab are ROOTED, totally stock.

Textfree is available on the market. I use it on my gtab, nook and inspire and it works great. If you switch from one device to another it will log you off the service on the previously used device before you can log in on the new one.

[Q] Anyone have issues with their Visual Voice Mail?

I got this text message upon someone leaving a voice message earlier today.
//ANDROID:xxxxxxxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN,15f50fe30,2986,V69EhxxlPpO//CM
Anyone else having this issue, and if so, what resolved it, if anything?
I also can't seem to get into my notification options when I call into my voice mail either. Not sure if that's common or not though.
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Someone left me a message this morning, it worked perfect. I would force stop it, clear data from the app, update your data profile then reboot and see if it works.
I gave it a shot, but it didn't seem to work. When I call the number texted to me, it just asks if I'm on a voice SMS enabled phone, but doesn't give me any messages.
I tried the suggestion on the help page through the VVM app, to compose a message longer than 15 sec and send it to [email protected]. Haven't had an occasion yet to test it again, but once I do, I'll update this with another reply.
Strange though. Through many different phone activations over the years, this is the only time this happened. Really hope I don't need to do a hard reset. If I do, I hope it works. Not like I can nandroid or anything. lol
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Still a no go... Can't figure it out. ; ;
Gonna call Sprint and see what their take is on it. Will report back.
i am actually having the same EXACT problem!! i have tried for force stop and clearing everything... still getting the same message!! and the VM never shows up in the VVM app!! Thanks for any help!!
I guess that's the only other thing I can think of is a hard reset. If that doesn't work I'm guessing it's something on Sprint's side would have to call in for tech support. I know when you boot up for the first time VM tries to provision itself and will say Voicemail provisioned successfully once data services are active.
Well... Just got off the phone with support. I had a very determined girl trying to help me out. Went through a whole bunch of stuff, but nothing helped so far.
Her and I both googled it, and found 2 things:
1. People switching to a phone that doesn't have VVM capability receive these messages.
2. They are command messages to tell VVM to download each new message when they come in.
Can't figure out why the messages are skipping the VVM app and going straight to SMS though.
I think I'm gonna try a hard reset later and see if that does it. Hope it does, because I spent some time getting everything the way I wanted it. lol
Anyone think of a good backup app that'll help cut down on the restoring my stuff time? ^^;
ADDITION: The version of my VVM is T.5.1.0.62 Is this the one everyone else has also? Asking just to cover as many bases as possible.
Had the the same problem called sprint after about 45 min of trying different things i had to hard reset and they reprovisioned and now it works perfect.

Hard Reset did it. It was A LOT more painless than I thought it'd be though. That backup and restore thing from google really helped out a lot in getting all my apps back. ^^
Also make sure you do not have Handcent's "disable stock messaging app" setting on. When it disables the stock app, the stock app can't get the 9016 incoming VVM messages before Handcent does and will cause this.

You're welcome. I doubt it but maybe the Hancent team can find a work around for this. It seems to me that if you disable it it's disabled but maybe they can block all incoming from the stock app except 9016, kind of like a reverse black list (actually they call those white lists don't they?, lol). I'd like to see that happen, but we'll see what the Hancent crew comes up with. I know others have said that other sms apps can do this or something like that, but I like Hancent better than all the others.
Anyways, glad I could help.
My issue's back again. Did have that setting on though, so I'll restart and see if that does the trick. ^^;

I've been trying to tell my wife that for a long time, maybe I can use this as proof, she keeps saying I'm not that smart.
But glad I could help, if I hadn't done it myself I wouldn't have known how to fix it, lol.
Use spc app to "block" the text messages but still get voicemails if using Handcent.
Just wanted to pass this on to you guys, as it has always worked for me. I had the Evo rooted with a custom AOSP rom and had used GV as voicemail then decided I wanted Sprint VVM back. When I made the switch everything seemed okay, but when someone called my phone and it went to voicemail it wouldn't let them leave one. Did some reading and finally figured out something that worked.
1. Stop the VVM process in running apps.
2. Clear the data for Voicmail under applications.
3. Dial *38 and call it as you would any other number( You should hear a few beeps and then it should automatically hangup) This has something to do with disabling call forwarding but will allow your voicemail to properly provision itself.
4. Open VVM and it should tell you that it has been provisioned successfully.
You should be good to go after this point, but if it does not tell you along the bottom of phone that it provisioned try this again but reboot before step 4. Some have also said that updating your profile and prl after doing the *38 helps.
Just thought I would share this as I read the comments about a hard reset when they aren't needed. I'm not to sure this would help with the issue described by the OP but hey its worth a shot instead of losing everything.
Confirmed: Fix Works for Epic 4G
Yep, I had Handcent Default Application enabled...clearing this resulted in Visual Voicemail back to normal.

Can't get Google Voice onto my Gen8

I am tearing my hair out.
Every time I try to install the latest Google Voice (0.4.2.32) on my A70, I get an "application not installed" error. I have tried three different apks from three places. I first tried my own backups from my phone using Titanium and Astro. Then I tried downloads from two different sites. The latest version only requires 1.6 and up, so I don't think it's a version thing.
I have selected install apps from unknown sources, but still no good. I can't find GV in the Market because the market fix doesn't work for me anymore. I've tried it a dozen times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use my tablet for everything and GV is a must for me.

Here's a working one. Make sure there are no other copies of GV installed, either to /data or /system. (If Voice is in the Apps list, get rid of it). Then install with this apk.
Yeah, I had already tried that one. It didn't work. Thx anyway
Edit: Spoke too soon. It worked. Thx a million.
don't know why i hadn't thought of this before.
i got the evo3d as my first sprint phone. if i put google voice on it, then i can put gv on my archos and also get my texts right?
only thing would be on my phone i hate gv having the control over them so i still have it go to handcent.
could i have my archos actually notify me of texts?
my cell service sucks at home this would be great

msticninja, could I get you to be a bit more explicit here? I'm going to need to root to do this? I havn't rooted my device and have GV 0.4.2.8 installed now. Uninstall and Settings->Applications give me simply the option to "Uninstall updates" to GV which I think will leave me with an older GV installed, and not the absence of GV that you are saying needs to be done. Thanks.

ANSWERED!Q&a about miui and eclipse v2.2

I am running a Milestone X2 and up until recently have had no wifi on any custom rom. Since the new soak test Eclipse v2.2 uses the new /418 kernal and now wifi works. Is it possible to take this and move it to MIUI?
No & miui update is stalled big time.
skwoodwiva, thank you for such an easy answer. I love MIUI it is my favorate ROM, but I would like wifi to work .
eclipse mms?
What's up people, quick question about the eclipse2.2 on milestone x2. However first allow me to respect XDA community, I've been though alot in the background with you guys. Then respect to Nitro for eclipse, it's amazing! My question is about the mms on the 2.2, will there be an update to fix it or is it a sacrafice I'm gonna have to eat? This is the first Rom I have 'noobly' been able to use and if I have to give up sending pics or long messages I'll do it before I go back to slow, laggy stock. I did read that it wouldn't work but then I read people's replies that they have no problems. I could've done something off with the install but everything else works perfectly. Thanks to anyone with feedback or help, it's truly appreciated!
Yes, unfortunately MMS will not work if you are not with Verizon. Nitro uses Verizon's basebase information and strips other stuff so that data can work. This does not work for me so I have no idea how to actually make it work. I have nTelos Wireless which is a small carrier based out of VA and my MMS does not work.
I hope this helps.
I am also on NTelos in Norfolk,VA, so no hope for us huh? Well that blows. I've had so many stressful nights thinking I've lost my phone doing all this flashing so I'm trying to be content, but I've read so many posts and you guys always get me out of whatever grave I dig. I think now that I have the sbf process down I might try for CM7 or miui tonight. Thanks for the confirmation twobrare, I've read allot of your posts too so I def believe you.

Ok, I too have ntelos in lynchburg, luckily there was a guy in a phone store that hooked me up for 10$then I still had to use gosmspro for the pix to send properly. He told me he spent months to find what he found online, but he found it...online. he also password protected it so when I transferred the custom app that I bought off him it won't install when I put it back on the SD card. Through my backups that I moved from my computer was the only way to get it to work TB will no longer back up and restore the app. Any sugestionsto get the mms working would be great. Or if someone could tell me how to pull the info off of a phone I still have my desirefrom ntelos. I would post here if I found a fix...thanx.

I found an easier solution for the mms fix, and it's really easy if your on the evo 4g. Download the reloaded.44 magnum ROM somehow it has the right apks or something to get the mms to work right off the bat you don't need to do anything else. But if your like me, you still flash. So, download 4 shared on the market (free) search for, apn manager ,download to phone, go into apn manager and hurt the backup button, it creates a file on your sd card and saves it there, flash another ROM you like, again ,4shared, apn manager, open apn manager hit the restore button only, done. Works every time for me, good luck.

Hangouts has "hijacked" my SMS permanently

Hello All,
I'm pretty experienced with Android and flashing new software and all that, but I am at my wits end this time. Last week I installed a ROM on my Sprint HTC One M7 that had hangouts as the default SMS app. I hate hangouts, so I installed a third party app. I only ended up having that ROM installed for a day or two before flashing a new one, and suddenly I couldn't receive SMS. I tried tons of things before finally ending up running the RUU to flash back to stock. Since hangouts is in the stock ROM, as soon as it booted, all of my texts popped up right there in hangouts, where they had been being diverted the whole time, despite SMS being turned off in Hangouts.
This time, I updated Hangouts, toggled SMS on and then off again, but all of my incoming texts were still going to Hangouts and not appearing in my stock SMS app at all. Finally, I flashed an updated stock rooted ROM, and no matter what I try, I cannot get Hangouts to stop handling my incoming texts. This is absolutely infuriating, because as aforementioned, I'd rather lobotomize myself with a chopstick than use Hangouts. Has anyone else encountered this? Please help me!
Thanks!

Go into the application manager, find Hangouts, and clear defaults. If you don't use it for anything else, you can always disable/delete it.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately this was one of the first things that I tried and it did not work. Hangouts currently has no defaults set and is disabled on my phone. There was a 48 hour period where Hangouts wasn't even installed on my phone but it was still handling incoming texts.

Duplicate installation, perhaps? I had this weird thing going on the other day where Titanium did an automatic restore after flashing a batch install of backups, and I had 2 iterations of Weather Bug (different versions). There have also been times where certain sideloaded apps had 2 iterations installed.
Try using a root file explorer and searching for for Hangouts. Maybe there's an .apk somewhere that still loads up even though it's not "installed" anymore.

Gonna check right now just to rule it out but I don't have high hopes since I did a full wipe before installing the Lollipop ROM that didn't contain Hangouts at all. I appreciate the continued suggestions though.

No Gapps packages, no batch restores? Maybe Google is doing it automatically when you first activate the phone. You're given the option to backup/restore your account, and if you do, the phone will start downloading apps that you had installed before.

Hmmmmm, that's one thing I did not think about, is using the Google restore feature when fresh installing. I did flash GAapps with the Lollipop Build but immediately disabled Hangouts. I wonder if maybe the setting isn't being applied "behind the scenes" when I flash a new ROM and allow Google to automatically restore settings. I'll have to play with this a bit. Thanks again.

That could be it. Installed, then disabled, then installed again automatically. If the restore is coming from a different source from Play Store, it's possible it's not making the same checks for existing installations, giving you a duplicate.

Man, I am really about to pull my hair out with this whole thing. I just installed a new ROM deleted Hangouts from system/app using root explorer after denying the auto-restore for Google and I still couldn't receive texts. Rebooted. Sent myself a few more test texts before re-installing hangouts and lo and behold, Hangouts had been receiving the texts even while not installed on any android device that I own. If Hangouts was a building, I would have looted it and burned it to the ground about an hour ago.

Yeah, I think I have managed to find some super strange bug or something, I don't know. Thanks anyway for your multiple attempts.
What phone/app are you sending the texts from?

Did you figure it out yet?
Did you check under the main settings for default sms app? Also your not using Google restore option are you?

I was wondering if you had any luck finding what causes all the text to go to hangouts. I can receive MMS through messenger but not SMS. I thought I was the only person with this annoying problem. I was about to order another device but there has to be a solution to this problem.

Dray,
I did eventually solve it, though the problem persisted even after RUU. It turns out that the issue was with Google Voice. I don't use Google Voice, but I flashed a ROM that had SMS turned on in Google Voice by default. When I flashed a new ROM, sms was still being handled by Google Voice despite neither Voice nor Hangouts being installed on my phone. You should go into settings in Google Voice and make sure sms is turned off. If the app is not installed on your phone, download it and make sure it is turned off anyway, because as aforementioned it was affecting my sms even though Google Voice wasn't even installed. This should solve it.
