Visual Voicemail not updating or working right. - Sprint HTC One (M7)

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.

Mandatory Update?

Just got a Voice mail showing a mandatory update. Anyone else getting this and any one know what it is?

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.

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

[TIPS] Disable Nexus 7 OTA/Upgrade Nag

I have been trying to research a way to stop my Nexus 7 wifi grouper from constantly nagging me to upgrade to JellyBean 4.3. I find 4.3 rather underwhelming and the problems it has caused with flash crashing Dolphin or Xscope browsers almost constantly has left me no choice but to roll back to 4.2.2.
Now that I am content to stay with 4.2.2 I wanted to stop the constant upgrade notification and the process to do so isnt clearly laid out anywhere across many fragmented threads about it.
Here is how I disabled the upgrade prompt on the Nexus 7 grouper wifi 4.2.2 - You of course need to be rooted.
Get Autorun Manager from the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en or http://goo.gl/xdLmO
Launch Autorun Manager, select Advanced mode.
Click the wrench, check off Show system entries and Enable system app disable.
Click the refresh icon to reload the process list.
Search for "systemupdate" and open the Google Services Framework entry.
Uncheck com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
Reboot your tablet and be nag free.
I am not certain at this point if this disables market app update notifications but I would rather manually check for app updates than be constantly nagged to upgrade android.
Edit - Market update notifications for apps is functioning normally.
Enjoy.
Worked like a champ....thx
With the imminent release of 4.4 for the Nexus I wanted to remind people of this procedure for the purpose of disabling the upgrade prompt or restoring it if you followed the above procedure in the past.

i read this might cause partial wakelocks.. is this true? I absolutely hate 4.4.. the ugly white color, single screen settings, unstable apps, etc etc
It's absolutely ridiculous how google is shoving its stupid updates down our throats.
+ i deleted the downloaded zip update.. but when i go to about tablet > system updates > it still reads that download is ready.. what does that mean? anyway to reset and clean that crap?
No problem with wake locks.
I actually didn't need to freeze the update file.. The reason I was receiving an OTA notification after sideloading 4.4 was that the update that was trying to push was the smaller update (KRT16S) that followed KitKat (KRT16O).. which I was unaware of at the time. I wish they would put the build # on the update screen.. instead it just read 'you have an update to KitKat'. I assumed it was the same ota update that I already sideloaded.. not something that was new.
Also not sure if there's a way to get rid of that info for a new update in the settings. You can remove the notification reminder.. but under system updates, it will always read that an update is waiting. Best advice.. Don't look at that screen lol.
Best way to fix the OTA nag.
Use the OTA...
I was just receiving the OTA nag as well . Went into TB and froze the Google Services Framework and the icon is gone.

Yeah... that will get the job done... but it will 'break' a lot of other stuff as well. Google Services Framework does much more than just handle OTA's... so, not a good idea.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Also go to settings > apps > Google services framework > un-tick show notifications. This stopped my stock unrooted nexus to nag me to update to 4.4

1. What other notifications might that also disable?
2. What is the file name of the 4.4 ota update and where can I find it so I can rename or delete it?
Thanks
After a reboot I got notification to update apps so It doesn't break playstore updates. Gmail, I can hear the sound when an email arrives but no notification. It will do for me, tho not sure if it's for everyone.

Thanks for this! It was exactly what I was looking for.
Didn't want to have to download a new app to get rid of something :good:else

What about the one called
com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver ?
Does that need to be disabled too, or does it do something unrelated?
Why not just make a copy of system/build.prop, and change the version to one that was never released, like 4.1.3?
Thanks OP.....this worked for me. I'm sticking to 4.2.2 stock and rooted now. And no more nag.

[Q] How do I get voicemail when running ViperOne Rom 3.5?

I'm still running ViperOne 3.5 since there's no 4.x updates yet for sprint phones. I seem to be unable to use the voicemail app. It just comes back with "General Failure" when trying to personalize voicemail or search for updates. I just discovered that I've got like 10 voicemails that I had no idea existed. Is there a different app i need to use now?

[Q] Persistant VVM Update

For the past few days, I have been getting prompted to update my Sprint Visual Voicemail App. Anytime I attempt to update, as prompted, I get a general failure. I'll dismiss the error, but the prompt remains persistant. Totally annoying! Anyone else getting this?
Reminds me of the nexus 5 on sprint. Hold down the notification and goto app info then force close.
