Root [Virgin Mobile] Visual Voicemail on CM11 & status bar notifications

Have you changed any settings? I get notifications for both of those things.

I've changed settings yes though not aware of changing anything that might cause that. I have tried running it on a pretty vanilla install of CM 11 M9 with same issue.

Could you tell me please what version of CM11 you're running? Is it M9 or a nightly or?

thanks for the reply!
 
nm got it working with notifications on CM 11 M9 I think I had one app that may have been interfering actually. It was also receiving those annoying/weird sprint you have a voicemail texts when I used that app.

without that seems to be good so far. I wonder if the KitKat version would work on CM 11 or if it's different at all.

cheers
 
Wanted to update this in case it helps others. I thought it was working fine on CM M9 and nightlies however it was only temporary. What would happen is that the pending voicemail notification would show up at some point and could never be cleared.

Googling around I found a lot of suggestions to:

>>
Go into the Visual Voicemail application and compose a Visual Voicemail message by selecting Menu and then Compose. Make sure your message is longer than 15 seconds and send to activate@vvm.sprint.com.
>>


for various visual voicemail problems though not the pending problem.

Troubleshoot if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemails

If that link isn't working here is the text, so you just perform step #4

Try the toubleshooting steps below if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemail messages:

1 On your phone keypad, enter *38 and then press Talk to cancel any call forwarding

2 Turn off your phone, remove and reinsert the battery and then turn it back on

3 Update the data profile on your phone; go to Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update profile

4 Go into the Visual Voicemail application and compose a Visual Voicemail message by selecting Menu and then Compose. Make sure your message is longer than 15 seconds and send to activate@vvm.sprint.com

After performing that, it worked for me. It seemes like initially after you do that, there can be a bit of kicking and screaming by the client but it does settle down and start working.

By kicking and screaming I mean I might get a few weird notifications / texts about downloading vms, or vms, but it seems to sort itself out quickly and start working.

using it successfully on M10 and the moment as well as some nightlies
 
Thank you. I did mean to come back to say it would not work all the time, I will try this now. As for the weird notifications / texts, those can be stopped by disabling the stock messaging app or blocking the number they come from.
 
Visual Voicemail ver. T.6.0.0.48 is here, if anyone needs it. I think it has a ui change plus some new things. I don't know I rarely ever use it.
 
How do you keep up-to-date with the latest visual voicemail versions? Is there a site that posts the updates versions? The update function in the app has never worked for me.
