It's an update for the visual voice mail app, and (I believe) their service for it. Meaning added features or something.
You can go THIS THREAD to see info about.

Sprint is adding Voice to text to visual voicemail. You need to opt in for the
service, and there will be a monthly fee, but they are forcing you to update
VVM regardless. If you are on a stock rom, you should have no issues, but
custom roms need the Sprint_App_Updater.apk (which is sometimes removed
from the custom roms). I pulled the required files from NFX's 651.2 rom and
pushed them to my phone, even though I no longer use VVM.

Gmail push taking upto 15 minutes

Is there something wrong with my set up or is anyone else experiencing email coming upto 15minutes after the sent time, I thought gmail push was ment to be almost instant as it's pushed out to you.
Anything I can check?
I'm on stock 2.2 btw. thanks
Try restart the phone
i have this problem too lol
no idea how to fix at this point, tried everything
Yep, sadly I've always had the same issue as well (I'm on T-Mobile in the U.S).
I've given up on the Gmail push, the app is so ugly anyway. The mobile gmail website looks soo much better, I just put a shortcut to it on my main homescreen and it's just a tap away to check whenever I need to.
Are you logged into Google talk? I believe that the pushes happen through that. That was back in 1.6 when I found that out though and maybe it has changed since.

The push should definitely work even if you're not logged into Google Talk, at least it has always done that for me on 2.1 on my old N1 (no longer have it).

How are you guys using voice mail on this rom? Visual voicemail or something else?
Some use Google voice, others are using VVM, myself included.
Method 2 on the Wiki worked for me

VVM is what I use. Working great.
There are lots of folks using the Sprint VVM. There are posts in the wiki on how to install it and get it to work.
I have always used sprint vvm and I couldn't get it to work so I switched to google voice and I love it! Don't think I would go back to vvm
I switched back to VVM cause when I was in Google Voice Mail the phone was taking way to long to go to voicemail it used to ring for ever on the other end...
I use google voice sss well, have sinceas the day I rooted (vvm wouldn't work on the custom rom I used). I don't know about trying to call it as the previous post stated, because between the app and net on my computer, I've always checked and cleared it without having to call.

i set up Google Voice since the VVM mod was only for earlier version of clockwork (not an edify update). GV seems to be working just fin, just need to figure out the test messaging now.
Hey I am using AOSP 2.3.2 and the screen on/off animation is a bit sluggish, anyone else having this issue? I changed the LCD density to 140 like the Wiki said and it still is a bit laggy, any suggestions?
Also my screen scrolling and opening the apps drawer was a little slow and jerky so I got ADW Launcher EX and it fixed the problem. Just thought I would add that if anyone else was having an issue.
BTW love the ROM, I was very happy to see Gingerbread on the hero!

Talk.apk going offline official froyo

I use google's Talk a lot and I depend on it heavily for communication. But I find it trying to sign in when I turn it on to send a message. This gives me reason to believe that may be when I go to a part of my building where there are not wifi or data connections, Talk goes offline. But it should sign back in when there is data connection, right?
I think, not sure, Talk goes offline after the phone has been in sleep for a while as well.
People are complaining often that they see me offline (not away) in google talk.
Is there anyway I can make Talk stay connected 24/7?
I'm on official UK Froyo. I have uninstalled the stack launcher (replaced with AWD launcher), email and a few insignificant apps I never use.
I do have app2ext workings as well but I do not believe app2ext has anything to do with the Talk issue since it has been going on for a while and in a range of roms including Cronos, CyanogenMod, FroyoMod and MIUI not to mention stock froyo for MM.
Do you use any taskkiller?
This may be killing the background service.

No. There is only the auto sign in option.
Installed AMO and that seems to have stopped the problem.

be more specific, which error?
You have to call 611 and make sure that they have provisioned your phone for accessing the service. Since the device has an imei not registered as an AT&T phone.
I found that there are two smartphone plans, both priced the same. One has VVM and the other does not. Both will work everything the same, the only difference is only the VVM plan supports VVM. I had issues with VVM and the store rep fixed that for me.
Rather than start a new thread let me bump this old one to the top (since it has the perfect title already) .
I am getting force closes all of the sudden.
I deleted a message and it FC'ed.
I stopped the service, stopped the app, cleared app cache, cleared data, rebooted, cleared phone cache, cleared dalvik, rebooted, same issue.
Could not restore from titanium. Titanium does have root and i can restore apps from unknown sources. but titanium reports "app not installed".
I reinstalled *just data* from titanium and at least the app launched with no FC. But as soon as a new message came and i deleted it, back to FC city.
Just started out of the blue, working fine until today.
ATT VVM version 2.3.32. OS is Stock 2.17.401.1 as posted by mike1986.
Anyone?
update, i did fix titanium issue (it was an old version of titanium) so i can now restore the old version of ATT VVM. But it still FC's.
may reinstall ROM..
wow this sucks, reinstalled ROM, even tried a much older version as explained in post 9 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146983
no good

I have stock Dev Edition with stock recovery and just had the AT&T Gmail app FC on me today for the first time.
I uninstalled / reinstalled and has worked ok so far.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
you mean at&t *voicemail* app?
Tried converting to a system app. (Won't even run in safe mode.) Uninstalled antivirus. Nothing so far.
After reinstalling data-only in titanium you get a notification in the status bar showing you have a message (the welcome message). You can launch the app from the status bar and it works fine (until you delete the message). If you launch it from the app drawer it FC's right away
I guess I could call ATT and re provision the mailbox?
I was sort of hoping not to blow /data. But if worst comes to worst I guess I'll do a factory reset..
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I'll just keep adding to the saga: factory reset does not help.
I wiped data, reinstalled ROM, and then before even signing in to any accounts, just sideloaded the latest att VVM apk. Force closed on a virgin system.
Am I missing something here? If you wipe data and reinstall a totally stock ROM, that's about as much as you can do on the phone side right? It seems like the problem is in the cloud. It's like my voicemail box is possessed. May have to call ATT.
I'll check the ATT forums but usually there is more traffic here.
Sigh. I hate it when things I use a lot just stop working and there is no obvious workaround.
Lol, fixed now: ATT updated the app yesterday from 2.3.32 (poison) to 2.3.33 (fixed).
I discovered this this morning, but not before I had called ATT to delete the entire mailbox and re-provision. All previous versions of their app, new and old, *still* force closed at that point. All hope seemed lost.
Then I visited the play store and noticed the most recent revision date *there* was July 18 and under "what's new" they said "fixes a bug that was causing the application to crash when opened on certain devices" and the angels sang and we all lived happily ever after blah blah
Troubleshooting that bug was a lot of hassle for nothing. ATT can suck my b---
EDIT .. but at least they fixed it

Visual Voicemail not updating or working right.

I keep getting a notification to update Visual Voicemail, but when I try to update it, it either gives an error or says there is no update available. I'm using the Stock With Goodies rom (4.3), but this was happening with regular stock, too. The notification to update keeps coming back. I'm also not getting all of my voicemails.
Any ideas besides using an alternate voicemail app? I want to use the Sprint voicemail app.

I literally had to click the update option 5+ times before it started downloading,
and then it installed itself.
I got a couple of times where it told me to update, and then said there was no update, but I kept doing it
and never left the screen after it said "download failed" or whatever.
It's working fine for me now.
