My week with Gingerbread :^(

As we all know Gingerbread has been in the oven... And I was one of those people who could not wait for it to cool off. As soon as I saw the leak early saturday morning, I was already downloading. what could go wrong, right? I odin'd the ef02.tar, started her up and wow, she's beautiful, save the extra ugly 4g symbol in the window sill (notification bar) that looks even worse now than previous desserts.
Keep in mind this is a stock .tar. No root. No cwm. No nothing. Except bloat. Low and behold my beautiful lil girl had a very serious functionality flaw. After my first reboot, no more incoming phone calls :^(...
So I've tried everything, I gained root, installed cwm 3.1.0.1 wiped data, cache, dalvik multiple times. Re odin'd the .tar. Flashed Decad3nce's odexed and deodexed roms. Updated modems. Tried frozen on ec05, took a shot at simply AOSP, odin'd a stock ec05, even went all the way back to eb13, with cwm 2.5 (changing file systems when needed) now I'm back to a bone stock ec05 from the stickies in development... Still no incoming phone calls. I called sprint technical and they were unable to resolve the issue.
Funny thing is I can make calls, I have data (3&4g), I can text, just won't receive.
Has anybody else seen anything remotely close to this. If so please comment, if not, comment anyways. I wanna get some opinions on my situation.
P.S. feel free to laugh at my short comings, lord knows just thinking about it brings chuckles to my mind...

Something kinda similar is happening to me. It was after flashing marcusaunts i1 rom, i lost the ability to receive texts, i can send them though. Im not sure if i can make calls, but i can receive them. i have to press one to accept every call though. Im calling sprint soon, its been like this for 3 days.

Have you tried reprovisioning under Settings>About Phone>System Updates>update profile

Sound looks you installed google voice, theres an option in the website to change that... But if I were you I would be happy I'm just getting calls...

You know, i did install google voice. But ive installed it multiple times until now, so i figured it was unrelated. But this past time it did take my texts through there, which had never happened before. thats why i uninstalled it. Im gonna check that out and see if it fixes it. Good luck with your issues.

Sounds like you clicked yes to Sprint integration (ports your number temporarily to google). So they go to your google voice account, however you can check an option to have them sent also to your phone as well (although if you do this with google voice installed you will probably get 2 notifications per 1 sms). Also call screening is an option that is enabled by default, option in google voice (desktop web interface). I had to turn that off too (the press 1 thing). Hope this helps, its just options. Also you could go online and disable the integration and go back to normal.
EDIT: Also make sure your phone is listed to receive calls in the web interface (via a desktop). I know it should do this by default but maybe it didn't for god knows what reason?

Uninstalling it won't do anything. You must deactivate it via voice settings at voice.google.com frm a pc. (Or dolphin w desktop ua)

Well well well my friend, seems like i'm the idiot, and your the genius. I tried doing it on opera and the stock browser and could click on the gear on the top right corner, but never get into the settings section. Just did it from dolphin and boom. Going to the xda site right now to say thx

I had disabled it, it just took a bit. but its all working again Thanks so much man.

I remember when I did that... Sat there for an hour pulling out my hair before I realized I needed to click the number on the right side of the GoogleVoice Page to change the settings. Not my proudest moment.

Yea, I think if multiple people on smart enough to flash a rom get confused I think google needs to make thinks a bit easier to understand. Glad I could help.

The GV set up options really suck. i already have a gv number and always have to go into the desktop voice application and disable the integration.

I just came back from the sprint store, and none of there techs could give me anything in depth about google voice. They just said it was beta and somewhat "finneky" however my phone works perfect now. I had to use a pc at the store while I was warranting my samsung dock (fyi don't use desk dock with any charger other than tge one provided)

Visual voice mail on aosp

I have searched for this on the xda app, no luck.
Has any one been able to get this to work I am using a ported mexdroid, and can't see any of my voice mails. I have called my self from work ans left a voice mail its not showing, so any help will be nice. Thank you.

Do you have the VVM service add-on activated for your account?

Ya I do that's the pain in the ass part, I was talking to a tech and asked him should being rooted have any affect and he said it shouldnt cause he has a rooted phone also and works on his.

Yeah, I've used VVM on multiple rooted phone models running several different ROMs and never had an issue. My guess is it's a problem with your T-Mobile account settings. In my experience, just because one rep didn't see a problem doesn't mean there isn't one.

It's because you do not have the Voicemail number. It's empty in AOSP.
Go to Settings>Call Settings>Voicemail Settings
Then set VM number to "123"
Now go to dial pad and long press "1" to call voicemail, once you have the VM number copy it or write it down exactly what it says, even the "+" symbol.
Go back to VM settings and replace "123" with the VM number you just copied.
Now go to Visual VM and it should be working fine now. Let me know if that worked. Works for me every time I use AOSP.

Haha! I'm sure once Ice Cream is upon us via CM8, you'll make the inevitable switch.

I always added my vm number but never thought of doing the 123 learned that at cm7. Will try that and report back

Ok I did what you said to the tee, no luck. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall it. I checked market and well I can't find it there any one else have this issue?

sprint voicemail on the 935U software

Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you

This is simple through titanium backup. No one?

The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.

Thanks again seems to be working

Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.

Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.

It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?

Yeah I couldn't get it to work either

Didn't work for me either

Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.
Link vvm
On a side note samsung got what they deserve for [email protected] us usa s7 owners. I hope they lose tons of money

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...

It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back

If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?

Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse

Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

Verizon Visual voicemail

I bought my V20 directly - not thru veizon and it is activated on the Verizon network. When I try to install Verizon Visual Voicemail, it says my device is not compatible. I tried downloading the apk and it "installs" but when I try to open it I get "This app is not supported on this device." Has anyone found a way to make this work? I have to assume that if I'd bought this from Verizon, it would work.

Stock, mine worked fine. Rooted and running a 996 ROM though, I'm in the same boat. I haven't tried REAL hard yet, but if you come across a work-around, let me know.

I'm working on it now, trying to find a fix for this one..

I had the same issue, using my unlocked v20 (us996) on Verizon. Went to the store and the tech guy says that the visual voicemail service will be soon discontinued and something else will be released and to wait for it, but as of now there is no way to get the voicemail app on phones that aren't Verizon.

Hmm, ok so I got the visual voicemail app that came on WETA rom, but it doesn't do voice to text like I was expecting... Buttttttt, that's because Verizon charges for it and I'm not paying $2.99 for something that Google Voice does for free lol..
Well of course there's always "something", right..?!?
Google Voice says it doesn't work with my provider...! Whelp, back on the hunt for a VVM app I can use, that's hopefully free..

In our case, I actually do have a Verizon phone, just using a ROM for a different model. Was hoping to find a build.prop edit, or something that would let me re-label the phone back correctly so Verizon would see it. I know that they said that 7.1+ would build the VM into the native system, instead of an app - maybe that's what they were talking about? My other issue is that I use Google Voice with a 2nd number for a business line, so I can't exactly use it for my main number's VM.

I did, with my 2nd number, and it's been fine since. I rarely use it for calls, but I use it for incoming, and for it's VM. So far, it seems to work fine. Call comes in correctly, goes to VM (which reminds me I have to change my message lol).

Ok so i had google voice for a few hours and it was cool.. But I figured I'd try to stick with a more oem approach, so I found the Pixel XL dialer.. Now I'm tweaking that to work for me, love the visuals on it that's for sure..!

VVM tab in stock dialer - TMO variant

Does anyone have VVM actually working in the stock dialer on the TMO variant?
First, the tab itself in the dialer won't even show if you have the TMO VVM app. So I uninstalled the app, got the tab to show, but all I get is a blank white box with a VM icon with a red exclamation point on it. Anyone else? Yeah, I could use the VVM app but...eff that. I want it in the dialer. ?
Oh, and if you go into the dialer settings > call settings > voicemail, it says "visual voicemail is not activated yet" but, uh, bruh, it totally is because the VVM app works (when installed).

I have the unlocked 6T and it's the same for me. I tried stock dialer and Google phone dialer, neither will activate VVM but the T-Mo VVM app works. It's not just the T-Mo 6T with this issue

Lame. Maybe with root/ROMs we can cook in the Google dialer or something and get it to work as intended. Thanks for confirming it's not just me.

Ok guys I had this issue as well. I got mine working by using the latest Google dialer beta apk and doing the following:
1. If you have TMO Vvm or Google dialer(or both) apps installed, uninstall them.
2. Go to stock dialer app info and clear cache and data.
3. Go into the stock dialer settings and activate vvm. Reboot.
4. Install Google dialer and Grant all permissions.
5. Go into settings/apps/default apps and make Google dialer default.
6. GDialer settings voicemail make sure everything is on.
That was all I did... TMO 6t

Ok. I just turned it off on my plan. I'm gonna redo the whole process because I think you have to go into the TMO VVM app to provision it so it gives you the options you selected. I'll report back in a bit.

I have seen some similar issue in this thread but can't remember where exactly, but maybe check through it and or try the latest one patched in the OP. It also mentions for vvm in the dialer, you need to make it default app dialer.or maybe disable stock, I cant remember off the top of my head..just search through the thread .
