T-Mobile VVM: Has anyone gotten this to work?

It just hangs at the setup screen forever for me.

I know I signed up for vvm..but I don't see it in my list of apps...is it in the market or something?
This comes from the deepest thing ever rooted my ...HTC Evo 4G!

Yes, it's been working fine for me on every custom rom so far.
A. Make sure your SIM Card is in the device when you d/l the application.
B. Call T-Mobile and have them manually add Visual Voicemail to your account. If it is already added to the account, have them refresh its activation.
Let me know how this works out for you.

Ah, I had to add it to my account online! Now it's working! Thanks!

Got a new SIM yesterday, now it works...weird

I already had it on my mytouch, but it hangs on the nexus

I just used YouMail from the market for VVM. Much better, imo.

Just curious as to why you guys would use T-Mobile VVM or other third party VVM software when there is Google Voice? Different features?

Because the forwarding isn't available on FlexPay plans.

Yes, Nexus S doesn't come with T-Mobile Visual Voicemail preloaded. It is in the market, just search Visual Voicemail.

I've never made a comparison. I use it simply because it was preloaded on my first smartphone and it's never given me the problems some people seem to complain about, so I've never felt compelled to switch. I may migrate to Google Voice in the near future just to try it out, since I've migrated pretty much my entire life to Google anyway. Might as well throw them my voicemail, too.
Google = The Borg

AT&T Visual Voicemail APK

Until Marshmallow is out I find it is nice to be able to use AT&T Visual Voicemail. I installed the APK I took from my old G4 and it works beautifully. Give it a try if you have AT&T
After I called my voicemail it took a few minutes (maybe 5) before it activated but it worked

Great job Josh!

Just curious -- what's the difference between this one and the official ATT on on the Play Store?

This one is the one that comes standard on AT&T phones and I like the interface better. I think it works better overall unless the changed the one in the store since I tried it last. Compare the two and see which one you prefer. Much better UI IMO, the one in the play store looks terrible.

It looks different for sure. Some of the text is hard to read.
I'll try it out but the playstore version has been great.

This app is for U-verse or Unified Messaging, not straight up AT&T Wireless. There's another app called "AT&T Messages" that combines Text, VM and calls and are viewable as a thread by contact.

My verizon, and verizon voicemail on custom roms.

Is anyone having problems with these apps on custom roms? I am using RR 7.1 (first one), The app doesnt seems to recognize it as my phone. I am currently on hold with tier 2, whom cant seem to resolve the problem. I actually gave up on the verizon voicmail app and went to google voice. But alas, being able to see my data usage is quite convienient.
thanks in advance and sorry if this post offends, or is in wrong forum, or is a stupid question and all the other usual hurdles

you must grant the my verizon app the permissions it asks for in order for it to recognize your phone, you can deny the location permission later. VVM is hit or miss, i had it working on 7.1 crdroid but had to try a few times for it to finally setup.

I have the same problem with My Verizon, but I can use VVM just fine. Verizon might have updated the app to insist that it only be accessed from the device it expects. These CM 14.1 based roms have a different fingerprint than the stock rom.
Also, I'm surprised that Verizon did anything after you told them you had flashed a custom rom. That's pretty much the biggest excuse they have to not help you at all.

Well I honestly thought it was their end as the error message originally said I was temporarily locked out.

I wonder if its possible to recreate said fingerprint..

Verizon updated their app today and now started working properly

Do these features work on the unlocked Note8 on Verizon?

- WiFi Calling
- HD Calling
- Video Calling
- VoLTE
I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.
Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!

I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.

Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it

Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.

You're the first that I've heard that Wifi calling has worked, that's great to hear! I'll make sure to get escalated when my Unlocked finally comes.

Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.

Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?
Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?
Thanks!

Yes, if you do hear back, please post with what was necessary to turn on, I'm so glad that wifi calling works, that was the last piece which I was worried about from reading other threads.

Just some screenshots of it (on a side note it's annoying my theme isn't dark on that one setting, seems odd looking)

Looks like they also changed your statusbar. Verizon's 4G letters are like that.
Can you check if your hotspot works without a subscription prompt?

Wow sorry guys I just realized you guys are talking about the non snapdragon version? I missed that part in the original post, but to be honest, a few people even with snapdragon are having this problem of getting it set up so I wouldn't give it up.

I'm taking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant so please update when you have the details, thanks again!

Yeah, I think we're all probably talking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant. So, MACHEK, I think you're info is still good, correct?

just by looking at his statusbar, I believe he doesn't have an unlocked version.
He must have the Verizon carrier specific Note 8.

Hey TMO, it is now May 2nd 2019. Us 6T owners are wondering if you have forgot about us? We are still running January security update. Maybe throw us a bone to keep us happy for a few more months.

Is there anything keeping you from moving on to the International builds or open beta builds?

Why would anyone want to use the t mobile ROM?

RCS for one. Launcher with Google feed built in without the need to root.
There are a few advantages to the T-Mobile ROM. Not a lot, but a few.

Oh I see I never heard of RCS until you mentioned it. I only booted the stock ROM once before flashing international. I also do not think microg supports Google feeds never used a feed before. How do people admin android without root?

I used to root everything. I just don't have the time anymore plus I din't buy my phone out right and I don't feel like calling TMO to try and get out of the payoff restriction.

I didn't buy phone outright within one hour of taking it home I was boot loader unlocked , sim unlocked and rooted. No need to call t mobile for anything. I only booted the stock operating system once. Which was only because it was required step in the process. They asked me for help in setting up my phone. I sure if you can remove Google play services and seemed to think the phone wouldn't work without Google play services.

I get the desire for RCS,but it's barely used still... I could see it mattering in the future, but as of right now, meh... I got mine unlocked by sweet talking a rep, but MSM tool is great too! As much as I love the Google feed, I simply have a shortcut for it on my home screen so I can quickly go to it if needed... Honestly, the international variant works so much better for me! Sadly, TMO really restricts software updates for so many Android manufacturers, even aside from OnePlus. By the time TMO approve a software update, new patches and updates have already released on the mainstream side.

Wow...figured someone would have mentioned it by now...but anyway. Nova Launcher has a Google Feed plugin where you can just swipe right and you have the Discover feed. No root required.
As for RCS...not that big of a deal for me. I'm using International on my TMO 6T because I got tired of the SLOWWW updates.

I'm confident the T-mobile techs have noticed your demands here on XDA. They are surely working on your requests.
Stand by.

Yeah, I know about the alternatives but they are just not the same as having a dedicated stock launcher with the feed built in. It just seems cleaner to me.
Right now though, I do admit I cant use RCS because no one I know has it. So I went to Beta 9 and am using CPL with the plug in.

I am waiting on my token so I can get off this slow update T-Mobile schedule. I finally got tired of waiting so I called them up and told them I need sim unlock they did it even without phone payoff.

What does sim unlock mean in terms of updates? I am not sure if my sim is locked or not no proper method of testing but omni or carbon ROMs update just fine without official sim unlock. I only used the stock ROM long enough to boot the thing to fastboot to flash the international ROM. I did this inside the t mobile store while they processed the return of my wife's iPhone ten pro or what ever it was. They didn't seem to mind. Odd they let me do it with out the phone being processed yet. Mine was rooted and boot loader unlocked before I got my receipt. Their system was down for processing returns so I was there about an hour.

I find that strange with a locked bootloader. I guess you had a PC with you for all that or did the store let you use theirs. Any how good for you.

Yeah but I would think that the advantages of having newer/faster updates outweigh having to use another launcher or having RCS. Honestly, the OnePlus Launcher leaves a lot to be desired. I got rid of it almost immediately after I got the phone after I saw its huge lack of customization. Used Nova Launcher for years and love it. I won't use these betas though. I use my phone all day and just don't wanna run into annoying bugs lol. Hopefully we get a big new stable update soon.
RCS isnt something I really *NEED*. I can see when a message was delivered...but I'm sure we'll get RCS eventually.
