loving the heck out of CM, but i'm having a very specific issue:
I have the unlimited android plan, activated VV, all the good stuff. However, whenever I miss a call, and someone leaves me a voicemail message, I do not receive the message. What I get instead is a text message from a 954(?) area code, that has the date, time, and number of the person who called me. no voicemail at all, just the text message. Anyone else having this problem, or know how to correct it? i've wiped/reflashed CM and 1.6 dev, removed and reinstalled VV.
Are you using TMO Visual Voicemail or the Visual Voicemail from PhoneFusion?
Phonefusion sucks and it forwards your voicemails to a different number that they host from their site...if you are using that version, you need to go to the site and follow the instructions to unsubscribe. Simply uninstalling the app will not change your voicemail back...
If you are using TMO, did you call customer care and have them activate it on their end or only on your end? Also, check your voicemail number and make sure it's the correct one. You can check it in settings and TMO will tell you what the number should be...
I am running the same rom and no issues at all with TMO VV.

I have heard that sprint visual voicemail works on the nexus on ics can anyone help
I have got the vtt-sprint.apk installed it and updated prl and prolfile on wifi and 3g/4g and still cant get the activation message to go through.
VVM on Sprint Network
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. First, VVM does work, but in order to get it to work you must completely switch to Google Voice. To do this, from any computer that you are logged into with your google account, visit google.com/voice and completely set that up. It will ask you to pick a new telephone number and it will walk you through setting up the voicemail box and all that.
Once you have all that set up it will allow you to forward calls to your cell. I recommend this rather than switching completely to Google Voice.
You can further, once you've completed this, from within your Sprint Account, choose to use strictly Google Voice but this will mean you will either forfeit the new number you just chose, or the one you have on your phone.
If you choose to keep your original number that was on th ephone first, it will migrate to your Google Voice box and your call forwarding will become a hardwired thing... Google will no longer forward calls to another number, but rather all calls to your cell number will forward to your device through hardware routing performed solely at the discretion of Google.
Sprint will, in a sense, no longer have any control over your call routing. It really makes for a total disaster to get problems resolved if you ever experience call routing issues.
In my opinion, this is an awful lot to go through, too large of a chance for errors and a royal pain in the neck to go through just for visual voicemail.
I have the closest thing possible set up... I use the number I assigned to my Google Voice box, and I set up forwarding to my phone(it's nice because I can also answer calls from my computer if I want, and if I ever change carriers I keep the number on my Google Voice box and simply set it back up to forward to another cell phone number on another carrier).
If someone calls my google voice number, it automatically forwards to my cell. If I do not answer, it reverts back to my Google Voice box voicemail and if the caller leaves a message it records it for me, transcribes it and both text's it to me and leaves a copy of the transcript in my gmail box for me for later review. It also attaches the recording to the email. Very nice feature.
So, now, I only hand out my Google Voice number and nobody ever knows my actual cell phone number. Very private if you ask me, that, and if I ever terminate my service with my cell carrier, I still have the number I give to every one and can answer it from my Gmail box. No cell phone required. I never miss calls...
There are other options with Google Voice I did not discuss here, but you will figure that out. Message me if you have any other questions. Also click thanks on my post to help me become an active member if you think this helps.

I have had google voice before but i wanted to get the native sprint app working. I have hear that sprint routes the nexus voicemail to a different server so it was never meant to work. but i have heard ppl having it work on GB but i just moved over to ICS and was attempting to get it to work but I can't get the activation message to send
Can you send me the apk so I can have a try at it?

Voicemail Routing
Working for AT&T, I do know that voicemail routing is going to be your only issue. If a customer has Visual Voicemail, the feature needs to be provisioned as such and, yes, the voicemail repository server is located in a different place on different hardware. Provisioning VVM at AT&T also required that the data feature be provisioned differently. There is data for smart phones with and without vvm attached.
So, if you do not have the visual voicemail feature provisioned on your account with sprint that is the reason you are unable to successfully configure the app. The basic voicemail servers can not handle the VVM. In most cases VVM is free for smart phones, but with sprint, I doubt that to be the case.
I am satisfied with the Google Voice operation and the added layers of security it provides.
heh...clean simple and no hassles -> Go to Market and type in YouMail, download and install, follow prompts through the simple and easy setup, enjoy your new VVM
NS4G: NexusMV 4G 03.01 (Baked in Matr1x) + 1460MHz/1460MHz SmartassV2 & CWM Touch Recovery
I'm gonna call sprint to have them provision my account and try to activate vvm
Spoke with sprint they setup everything on their side and verified it and my activation message still won't go thru I I might be the apk. I tried the gb apk but it fc when I try to send
They are saying its a phone based routing problem (blaming ICS) because it works in gb and they cite a flaw in the ICS VVM API
Its a sad song
Here you go guys, enjoy.

Google Voice Visual Voicemail Integrated Into Stock Dialer
After a while of trying to tamper with Sprint's visual voicemail, I found that it was just easier to go with Google Voice. The new integration with ICS makes it even better.
I don't think sprint vvm is supported on the nexus

Curious if anyone is using Google Voice as their primary voicemail on Verizon? On my S6 Edge I have a Google Voice account and a GV phone number but only calls going to my GV phone number use GV Voicemail. Can I convert to use GV for all my voicemail, including my Verizon phone number? Seems every time I've had a new device and installed Google Voice it asks if I want to use it for my primary VM and when I say yes it says something about Verizon being evil (who didn't know that) and I've never gotten any further.....
Any advice appreciated.

Yes, I'm using without any issue. Been using it for years since my S3 days.
Set up or remove Google voicemail
i had so many issues getting it right on the S6 that after years of using it i just setup Verizons Voicemail
I moved away from GV on my S6E because I found I liked VVM better. GV's voicemail to text kind of sucked and I always had to listen to my messages anyway. Sorry - getting off topic. I'm sure you know this but just in case:
To Activate Google Voice:
Follow these steps to have your mobile phone use Google Voice for voicemail instead of your carrier's voicemail. You can always go back to using your carrier's voicemail later if you want, by entering another code. Learn more here.
Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
*71-[your Google Voice number]
Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. The phone will appear to make a call and then hang up. When that is completed, you are done!
To Deactivate Google Voice:
Dial *73 and press Send.
So I have an unlocked note 8 from samsung that i'm using on Verizon. Had it about a week and just noticed that I have not received any notifications of missed calls or if I have a voice mail message. I'm not talking about visual voice mail, just plain old basic voicemail. There should be a notification along the top that I have a voice mail. I called *86 and I had a bunch of messages but never received a notification.
Is there a setting I missed? I can't find anything for these.
Thanks
You have two options:
One, go to the website, log in, under Products and Services find Blocks, go to Service Blocks and block off visual voice mail and premium visual voicemail. You'll have basic voice mail only and the notifications should start coming to your phone.
Two, forward unanswered calls to Google Voice. You get a great Google app and you get transcribed voice mails, a feature that Verizon charges $2.99 for in "premium" visual voice mail.
Thanks. I called verizon to see if that was it. I asked that specifically and they said they couldn't turn it off visual voice mail. She turned of an ims setting (I don't know which one) and now I have notification back.
Interesting. I just called Verizon and they said because I have an unlocked phone that I also bought from Best Buy the phone didn't come with the Verizon software on it and I won't be able to get any vm notifications as a result.

You have to login to your MyVerizon and disable both visual voicemail and premium visual voicemail . Just like odesskiy said and then it will go old school and send you a msg with the little logo that you have voicemail. Worked perfectly!!! Glad I went unlocked.
Can someone help me and I am on Sprint and tried calling them no help. Just got an unlocked Note 8 and in my notifications window it says 4 new VM dial *86 and it won't let me get rid of it will not go away. I am using You Mail and have never used Sprints VM but I am thinking when I restored my phone from the backup maybe it downloaded something but I don't see any voicemail app I see the voicemail icon up top in the corner and when I pull down my notifications I see this 4 new voicemails dial *86 and I can swipe it to get to a setting which is just about hiding or blocking phone notification and then I see the phone icon. I've gone under apps and advance apps I was at some screen where I saw the *86 in there forgot how I got there but even still I can't get this notification to go away. Samsung had me do a few things also. I don't want to have to reset my phone just for that. But I googled my question and it took me here. I never used Sprint's VVM but do I still need Sprint to block it it's not on my phone unlocked phones don't have it unless I have regular VM somewhere but I can't find it to make this go away from my notification screen. Thanks!
It didn't work for me.

I blocked the " visual voicemail" then when I blocked the "premium visual voicemail" it automatically unblocked the "visual voicemail". So, I tried to block the visual voicemail again and it unblocked the premium visual voicemail. Seems only one can be blocked at a time--in my instance anyway. I didn't get any messages.
Same for me on my note 8 . Just switched from Verizon to Sprint because they had 5 lines unlimited for 100 bucks and 10gig each phone hotspot. Can find regular voicemail icon to put a shortcut on my phone? Been on Sprint tech support but don't see how on this unlocked note 8..still love the phone
Hi, I have the same issue on my unlocked note 8 regarding voicemail notification. I just spoke to a Verizon agent, had her block my premium visual voice mail, call me on another line to leave a voice mail and finally got a notification that I have a missed call and a new voice mail. I hope this helps as a Real Estate agent not having voice mail notification is bad news! I'm beyond grateful to see that notification again.
I have an unlocked Note8 and Verizon. Been missing my voicemail notifications and can't install the verizon voicemail app... with instructions above, I called Verizon Support and asked them to turn off the Visual Voicemail feature I've been paying for the last 10 years because I had a new unlocked phone that doesn't support it... not branded Verizon phone... So, support said they turned the feature off, and to reboot my phone. I rebooted, then got a text saying that Touch ID has been enabled for my phone, then from another phone, I called myself and left a message. I got a notification! And, the notification came with a link to click and install a their voicemail app, the blue one with the recorder icon... not the red one. It does everything I want, shows caller ID, or phone number, and click to play messages... easy delete. Perfect!

I'm not on the same carrier but I failed to get it to work properly with mine I could get notifications and call I'd but no actual message.
For t-mobile this has been "broken" for months.
From the web it seems that T-Mobile dropped support for the built in visual voicemail. You have to use their app and well it doesn't work ever for me. It doesn't sync, or notifies, and constantly throws error saying we can't access voicemail please dial voicemail instead.
This just means my voicemail is now never ever checked.
Sign up for a Google voice. Set the phone calls to forward to the number if you are not available. Use it for voicemail. It will transcribe and email them to you.
Att's app sucks also. I miss my built in from Windows mobile 10 and this was the next best things.
All,
Got an unlocked S21U, ported from VZW to T-Mo, installed the T-Mo voicemail app, but I keep getting a VM notification from the app AND the phone dialer itself. I don't see any way to mute it. Am I missing something? Can't see a way to fix it.
Any ideas what I am "missing" by not having T Mo firmware?
Thanks
Can you download visual voicemail? I used to have that problem on another phone but when i installed visual voicemail i was able fix the problem.

Sorry, yes, I did and it works, but now I get two notifications for each voicemail, one from the phone, and one from the TMo VVM app.

Are all of the voicemails deleted from the visual voicemail app? If so, i would call T-Mobile next .
Can't you simply disable phone app voice mail notifications?I use google voice for my visual voicemail and I believe I disabled notifications for voicemail notice dialer

Alas I do not have the option to silence the native phone dialer voicemail
Ever since I disabled the Samsung Phone app, visual voicemail hasn't worked at all for me. I have to dial my own phone number to access my voicemail the old-school way... It kinda stinks, but I just hated the Samsung phone app for its lack of calling over LTE whereas Google Phone still worked fine with calls over LTE (and had my blocked number list saved from when I had the Pixel prior to this phone).
I forward my calls if not answered to google voice which transcribes my VM so I have native visual voicemail instead of paying tmo for their version of vvm
