You can use Wifi to activate voicemail. I have the same app on my Evo.
Also, try updating your data profile. Go to Settings -> System Updates -> Update Profile. See if that fixes it for you afterwards.

Ive tried via wifi but i will attempt once more...

i enabled wifi, updated my profile, rebooted. launched voicemail and am receiving the same error. there is a delay in setting up your voicemail. your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete.
there has to be something i am missing on the device side...i can access my mailbox by calling in. this makes me thing, its device side...
any solution is greatly appreciated...in getting the sprint vm to work.
or i can delete sprint_core.apk and be done with it and its 5mb running process.
please and thank you

If you really want visual voicemail and don't care if it's Sprint or not, download Google Voice and activate voicemail on it. You need a Google account (it's free). It's nice because you can manage your voicemail online. You can download it, archive it, forward it, etc. Works just as well, if not better. You can set different greetings for different people, etc. Give it a try.

i tried this too
http://www.evo4gforum.net/troubleshooting-htc-evo-4g/visual-voicemail-isnt-working/
that wont work. just tells me that there are messages waiting to be delivered when i compose and attempt to send them.

I had a similar problem... what seemed to work to me was to press menu in VVM and compose a message to [email protected]. Make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled and make the message over 25 seconds. Idk why your original activation message is not sending but this may help fix your problem.
edit... i just saw that you already tried this so the only other thing i can think of is to try to take it to a sprint store

it needs to be over 25 seconds?? i tried that method but not that duration...it just seems to me that the vvm app is not sending the activation messages...any messages.

ive got it rooted and junk, i really dont want to reset this thing to deal with those...'people that dont know', for lack of a better term.
there has to be a way to fix this. i just tried sending a longer message to [email protected] tells me there are two messages awaiting delivery.

Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.

I have an idea. Try calling 408-970-0000 from your cell phone. It may ask you if you would like to receive sms voice messages. when i call from my phone it says "our records indicate that you are calling from an sms voice messaging enabled phone. if you would like to stop receiving messages press 2" If you changed from a phone that did not support this feature it may ask if you would like to receive messages instead. I am not sure if this will work but it is worth a try

none of this is working. in fact, I called that number and seemingly disabled the feature and there is no option to reenable.

well i did the same and i accidentally disabled but then re-enabled by sending another activation message to the visual voice-mail activation address. if that still does not work p.m me and i will send you the most recent version of VVM and you can flash it to your phone. if that still does not work you may just have to use Google Voice. it is free and i have used it before when i could not get sprint vvm installed and it works great.

i have the latest version. I attempt to click retry sending all and it tells me there is a delay in setting up my voicemail. Your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete.
ill take the latest version that you have...im willing to try anything. this is a new device and it wouldnt configure even on day one, before I rooted and rom'd it.

Well, i got it.
I thought, 'there has to be a reason Im not receiving these messages.'
I had 9016 included in the 'blocked texts' list. at sprint.com in my account. So my vvm wouldnt send me messages(i had a dozen sitting in there when i called) and I was unable to compose and send.
I removed 9016 from the blocked text list and tested. It worked. Then I added 9016 to the list, and it DID NOT work.
Days of frustration, something so simple.
Thank you, everyone, for your patience and assistance.

Fix
I deleted all the Sprint VM apk's and flashed the attached zip. No more stupid update notification!
EDIT - Opps, posted in wrong thread, but if you have that annoying Mandatory Update Notification, this should clear it.

"well i did the same and i accidentally disabled but then re-enabled by sending another activation message to the visual voice-mail activation address. if that still does not work p.m me and i will send you the most recent version of VVM and you can flash it to your phone. if that still does not work you may just have to use Google Voice. it is free and i have used it before when i could not get sprint vvm installed and it works great."
Could anyone tell me what the visual voice mail activation address is? I've made this same mistake and can't seem to figure out how to re-enable the 9016 text messages and thus re-enable my visual voice mail. Thanks!

Disregard my last post...I figured it out:
what seemed to work to me was to press menu in VVM and compose a message to [email protected]

I am using Handcent App(I haven't tried the Messaging App that comes with Android) and I am on a Custom GB ROM .I can Send and Receive Text Messages and I can Send Messages with Pictures attached but if someone sends me a Picture via a message I don't get Message or Picture.

start by making sure data connection is active,

Is there any application to do this?

I assume SMS messages right? Are you on Verizon? You might check if it's set to EVDO only (you can check in *#*#4636#*#*).

Check these settings
menu>system settings>battery & data manager>
data saver should be uncheck, unless you are trying to limit data usage
and
menu>system settings>battery & data manager>data delivery
check 'data enabled'
check 'background data'
note: exact locations may vary

Not receiving SMS/MMS on stock messaging app.

Hi, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...

text notification issues

All of a sudden I have 1 number in my phone that I do not get notifications from when they text me. My phone for not ring, vibrate, light up, nothing. This only happens with this one number, all other contacts work fine. I'm using the default messaging app and on the latest Google update. Has anyone has this issue. Is there something that maybe I clicked on that could have caused this.

You haven't accidentally blocked that number by accident have you?
To check this do the following, go to the messaging app > click on the 3 dot menu > check to see if the number/contact is listed there.
If it is click on the contact/number and then click on unblock.
Hope this is of some help.

It doesn't sound like this is your issue, but carriers will have a separate block-list that works account-wide. For example, numbers blocked in the Google Fi app will be blocked for all phones covered by that account. I seem to remember my last carrier having something similar on their website.
Although, can you clarify something... does the SMS appear in your messaging app and there's no notification... or does nothing at all appear?

The message appears in the messaging app, I just don't get any notification. As far as I can see, it hasn't been blocked anywhere. It is my son's phone number so I know I wouldn't have done it purposely. I've thought about dirty flashing the FW again to see if that fixes it out just wait till the new one comes out next month

I checked and the number is not blocked. Hopefully next months update will fix it when I flash it.

If you use Messages, look at the notification settings and make sure you haven't toggled a conversation name off. Doing so would match what you're seeing.

Ok thank you. I'll check that, but suddenly it is working again. I am leading toward it being a glitch in the FW. I'm gonna wait till the new one comes out and upgrade it and see if it happens again
