I'm using xdabbeb's 3.1.2 rom on my VS980 on a VZW prepaid account, and one thing I've noticed is that since prepaid accounts don't have the visual voicemail feature, there's no way to either configure or bypass the Visual Voicemail app. It's still possible to dial the voicemail number, but the voicemail key in dialer is essentially functionless in my use case. I'm wondering is there a way to remove visual voicemail that will force the dialer to use the voicemail key for basic voicemail and/or allow for voicemail notifications to occur? I tried just removing the app, but that ended up causing a "com.lge.vvm has stopped" error. Its a fairly minor inconvenience, I do realize, but its an inconvenience nonetheless, so I'm curious if there's any way around the issue.

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've noticed that my google voice isn't working like I'm used to.
Expectation: Whenver I get a voicemail to either my ATT #, or GV # that I get a transcribed visual voicemail in my voice app.
Whats happening: No voicemail shows up in google voice app. instead I get a notification that I have a voicemail available and to call in. (assuming it's my att dumb voicemail) When I call my GV number and leave a VM. The automated voice message reads my ATT number not my GV. WEIRD!
I setup the voice app and to make voicemail go through google voice, not ATT. I uninstalled and reinstalled to confirm GV setup the phone to use GV not ATT.
Can anyone confirm this problem or help me troubleshoot.

set it up via their online site, not app. the app has some settings that are important, but their full site has the full set up.
I had this issue too hangouts was receiving my messages not google voice after a few attempts at fixing it. Disabled vm in hangouts and enabled in google voice app works like a charm. Also had to manually edit voicemail settings in the call app menu and add phone numbers through the desktop version of google voice.
anyone know how to disable/remove the voicemail app and replace it with google voice?
My experience is you cannot disable the Sprint voicemail.
So, I just installed Google Voice and use that instead. I see that the Sprint Voicemail is still running, but all my calls go to Google Voice. So it's a bit of a waste of memory by forcing me to run the Sprint Voicemail instead of just disabling, but I don't see any way around that until our phones get root.
Anyone else know how to force an app to be disabled? Only some default apps seem to let you disable, and Sprint Voicemail doesn't seem to be one of them.
Do you only need instructions to forward vm to google voice /hangouts?

Debloater will let you disable system files.
Yes I'm can't seem to figure out how to use Google voice for my voicemail
Load voice and hangouts. If voice is already loaded, clear the cache and data.
Launch voice, select the proper username for voice. Select no incoming or outgoing calls. You will then get a gray config box. If it doesn't launch your dialer, finish the install then open the dialer. Enter *28 and your google voice number (ie *285555555555) and press send. You will hear two quick dial tones. This forwards calls that are not picked up and routes to voice. From a desktop go to voice.goole.com. Press the sprocket. Select the option to forward all messages to email (not text).
Back on phone, disable all notifications in voice (as Google Voice redirects data to hangouts). If you don't disable, you will get dual notifications. Run hangouts, set your notifications. Disable calls from hangouts to ring the phone, unless you want that.
Once everything is groovy, hide icon for Sprint voicemail if you are not rooted.
I had no issues at all just enabling google voice as always. No Sprint voicemail at all.
If you use google voice and don't want it fully integrated with your sprint number then be careful. Just skip any integration stuff when you first run it. Then it will give you a phone number to call to forward your voicemail to google voice.
While some might like the full integration I prefer to be able to switch between using my cell number or my google voice number on the fly.
Hi,
Has anybody got native Visual Voicemail in Google Dialer to work? I'm trying to on T-Mobile but it's a no go for me so far
Thank you

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

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
