I want Google talk to handle my voicemails, but after flashing End of Days last night (and subsequently, to restore to make it stop, MikFroyo), my google talk app handles all my incoming communications.
Here's the thing. I don't want it to. I like that it delivers my voicemails, but my set up on both mikfroyo and end of days both accommodate for messages. My Google Talk widget is on the far right screen on both.
What can I do to make it stop taking my texts but leave the voicemail?
I would uninstall it, reinstall it, but upon that, disable the text handling feature.

Is that part of the install process or is that something I can get to somewhere in settings?
I forgot to mention, when I uninstall it, I don't get any texts anyone sends me until I re-install it. My voicemails go to my text message inbox...so it's kind of a screwy circle.

Well I haven't used talk yet.. [no one to try it with], but for google voice it is a parameter that can be enabled/disabled, and I think that may be overriding it.

Figured it out.
It wasn't entirely my fault, as the check boxes are cleverly named.
Here's the process (for anyone viewing this who wanted to know the answer):
Open up google voice inbox
Hit menu>more>settings>notifications and sync
*Edit* Check the box called Notifications via Text Message. It'll say you'll receive double notifcations. Hit okay, we'll fix that problem in a second.
Then, under that, disable all inbox notifications for Google Voice. This will prevent double notifications.
This will send the messages BACK to the stock messaging app (and to your GV inbox as well, but since you turned off GV notifications, you won't get a double notification for a text). The only downside is GV will text you every time you get a voicemail (which is no big deal). Other than that, everything is back to normal.
Thank you Teh Roxxorz for putting up with my GV-noobness until I figured it out

Well the box are fairly deceptive...decepticons I'm sure, but no noobyness, I actually learned something.
so is this still the setup? or did you change anything else? I made the porting mistake today and the google voice texting is driving me crazy. almost as bad as 9016 texts
thanks
Just curious. I had this happen to me as well but I thought it was because I linked my Sprint number to GV and thought that it is now taking over everything. I personally deal with the fact that GV takes over my messages (doesn't work for Safereader on Vlingo) but I like that texts pop up on my computer due to the GV extension for Chrome.
Did you link your GV to your Sprint number as well? Or does everyone that installs GV now have it take over their texts?

I linked my Sprint number to my GV and that's when it started sending texts to my GV instead of my regular messaging app. Before I linked it up, it only routed my voicemail to my GV inbox. It was very frustrating to me, as in the aosp rom and the sense roms I use I have my messaging apps set up where I like them and it's a pain in the ass to incorporate a GV widget into my set up ergonomically.
The process I outlined above works no matter what you're using (froyo, gingerbread with and without sense). I've used it on End of Days (which is a CM7 kang) and MikFroYo and it was the same process.
I haven't used it on my computer at all, so I don't know anything about that.
POsting here because it was first google result and I found an updated fix. Im on stock 4.4.4 Oneplus
Settings>Wireless&Networks>More>Voice+>click disable...

I flashed SyndicateRom Frozen 1.2 yesterday, and am LOVING it so far! Besides a known bug with the missed call info displayed on the glass lock screen, I have only one problem with my phone right now.
While getting all my apps reinstalled & set back up, I decided on a whim to install Google Voice. During the install wizard apparently it took over my phone. I thought I'd cancelled out in time, but when sending a text msg this morning a friend told me it was showing up w/ my GV number. I removed GV, and through their website I deactivated their voicemail.
So now when I text, it shows my correct number. I'm making & receiving calls ok. But when an incoming call goes to voicemail, the Visual Voicemail app never notifies me of a voicemail, and instead I get a weird text msg like this:
(to be continued)
Wow, 5 minute posting limit imposed too. this is fun!
/ / ANDROID : < caller's phone # > has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408 - 970 - 0000 to listen. MMSN,15ec6a1b4,1fc6,V69A / tC1Nqr / / CM
(spaces added to foil the system from thinking I'm posting a URL)
(to be continued)
(hopefully I can get the rest in this time)
That last part after the MMSN changes each time.
I'm able to press/hold 1 to access my voicemail, but when I go into the VM app, there's nothing there.
I tried restoring from TitaniumBackup - that brought a couple of my old voicemails back, but still nothing new, and I still get the text messages.
I tried sending a voicemail to activate @ vvm.sprint.com through the voicemail app - that results in a return text message saying:
/ / ANDROID : * @ vvm . coremobility . com has sent you a Sprint Voice Message... yada yada yada
I've also seen texts like this:
/ / ANDROID : Provisioning successful CFGv320c.0=07cbKhXuKph / / CM
I also tried installing a 5.1.0.52 apk (can't locate the URL I eventually tracked down at the moment).
Still nothing.
I just spent an hour on a support chat w/ Sprint. We tried *38, *720; rebooting more times than I can count, and now I'm at the point where he's reset "something" and it's supposedly going to start working for me in the next hour. Call me a skeptic.
Is it something on Google's end? Sprint's? My phone? Has anybody else worked through this before? I just want my vm app to work like it always has.
TIA!
I once again found the URL where I downloaded the 5.1.0.52 apk:
https://upgradeserver.coremobility.com/prod/sprint/2.1/5.1.0.52/vtt-sprint.apk
(and woohoo, looks like I can post URLs now)
Any ideas on this?
Using Titanium I uninstalled voicemail, rebooted, reinstalled, and am still getting the text messages.
Would reflashing be an option? I hate to do it since I finally have everything set up just the way I like - but I need to get this fixed.

I don't think the issue has to do with google voice. I am having the same issue with SFR 1.2 and I never installed GV. I have tried clearing data, I have tried to reactivate my VVM, I have tried restoring a titanium backup as well.
Everything in VVM seems to work, but it never receives messages.
If you find a fix, post it here so those of us having the issue can get it working too.
EDIT: I figured out my issue was actually with Handcent. The VVM application requires messages to be passed from the stock SMS application to DL VVM messages. If you have handcent and are using 3.9.5 go into settings>default applications> and check "disabled" and your VVM will start working again. Hope this helps someone other than me.

Interesting... I've always used Handcent (since my Hero days). I vaguely remember setting it to "All (SMS & MMS)". I changed it back to "Disable" and will see what happens. So far none of the voicemails on the system are downloading (when I dial in it tells me there are 9 new messages). I don't have a landline to leave a test message, so it'll be a while before I can get somebody to call me to test.
Thanks for the past - it would be great if that's all it takes to fix it! After changing this setting, you're no longer getting those strange text messages either?
I can't remeber where it is, but on google.com/voice ,log into your account, there is a setting that can be changed, also a # to dial, I wish I could remeber, its #?? To disable google voice, but that's probably not your problem, I bet its a setting on gvoice website...

YOU ARE MY HERO!!! This problem has been driving me insane for five days. Handcent 3.9.7 was the culprit on my Samsung Epic 4G as well. After reading your post, went to Settings --> Application Settings --> Default Messaging application and switched to "Disable", now Voice Mail icon shows up no problem.

I've been having this problem since the GB update on my Evo Shift. This solution works!
So, I did the GPS fix on June 21st with the ##code# and the msl code. After that, my parents said they sent a text, but I haven't gotten it. Most people use my google voice number, but a few have the old sprint number.
Anyway, I can send a text. I just don't receive a text message. I booted in a march cm6 backup and couldn't get text messsages that way either. Could send, just not receive. I can make and receive calls, and voicemails go to my google voice number.
I have a stock sense backup from december that I can boot into, but am getting tired of rebooting.
Any suggestions. Open for just about anything.
I decided to do a 786 reset, and it cannot update my profile. I am hoping that is because i have a triangle above my wireless signal. Kinda out in bfe as of right now.
My messages will randomly go to google voice instead of messages. That could be a problem as well.

I had this problem yesterday after a fresh flash of CM7.1, and stumbled upon the answer. I wasn't receiving text messages in Messaging OR Handcent SMS - and I have my sprint number ported over to Google Voice. I went over to the Voice app and went to Settings>Sync and Notifications and made sure that Text Message Notification was selected. When I did, the SMS messages going to GV went to my messaging apps too.
Conversely, you could just use GV as your messaging app...

This works like a charm. I am going to post this link in a couple of other places where people are running down CM. Double Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I'm using a GSM version of our GN. I only use Google Voice as I change carriers very often therefor I never want to give the carrier phone number.
When receiving a call on ICS we have 3 options:
- pick up
- Decline
- or send a quick preset text message.
Is there a way to make the phone send the text message out of GV and not the carrier Caller ID?
I'd pay for an app to do just that.
Thanks
turn off texting on the phone altogether and it forces GV to send any texts...but you lose MMS capability...
when you choose to send text, does it ask you if you want to send it through GV or regular? probably not if the call comes in on your regular number...try having someone call your GV number and send them a text to see which number shows up...
if that works, just use the GV number for everything
Yeah the text reply is useless because it uses the built in texting and not the GV app. That was the case when I tried it a year or two ago it might have changed now but I doubt it.
Also GV has MMS now (receiving).

Not quite... you can receive MMS from a Sprint sender. That's it. Your provider doesn't matter, nothing else matters. Only Sprint senders.
None of my friends have Sprint (or anyone I know really) so for all intents and purposes GV still doesn't have MMS (at least for me).
On a similar note...does anyone else feel google treats Google Voice as a red headed stepchild?
I have been using a year and a half old version of the app because it's the only one that treats the back button as an actual return to main screen button...instead of some funky cycle through every previous text button. It is also the last version to handle notifications correctly (newer versions keep the notification in task bar if you reply to one online)
I've tried setting my phone to use GV as the default way to send texts, but still see he same bad behavior with Verizon texts being sent from quick messages. Sucks!
Probably will need an updated dialer from google, but if anyone has any other ideas I'll try them...

I don't think so. I receive MMS from people all the time in my inbox (Sprint and non-Sprint). You have to make sure email notification when you get a text is on I think.
I was looking for this and noticed many CM users looking for this as well, I tried on ICS AND CM10... it works.
Found zip (attached), flashed and it too works.

And it works. Just install as you do any regular apk. Personal, I used rom toolbox, located the file and installed fined.
Yes, I do get 9016 text, but I barely get vms, so maybe 1 text per day doesn't bother me. It may be a CM think, but if I find a better apk, I'll update OP.

Yeah, I get the texts, too. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them if you want to use Sprint VVM.
I don't mind them. They can actually come in handy sometimes if you restore the VVM to a new ROM and it doesn't notify you of new voicemails right off the bat. The text still shows up when the notification doesn't. lol
Fixing the sprint visual voicmail apk to with with CM10
you need to record a voicemail, and then forward it to the following email address from within sprint visual voicemail: [email protected]
This will stop the text messages and sync your voice mail.
do you still receive the 9016 text everytime you get a voicemail?
---------
Edited
Didn't read the previous posts very well. When I was using the Optimus S with CM7 they had a Mms.apk that removed the 9016 text. Those can be really annoying. I like VVM better but right now I have to stick with google voice. I'm only using it for my voicemail and I don't get any texts so it works.

Record it with the VVM app and then hit send. Compose -> Record -> Send to that address, all done within the app.

All I have is the microphone button in VVM. I record the message, then I only have the Share button with Bluetooth, Gmail, Skype, Voicemail, etc. I tried Gmail before with the above error message. When I try Voicemail with the email address you gave, the Send button stays grayed out. I suspect that it needs a phone number there.

I recently switched from a TW based ROM to CM10 (and now PA2). I reinstalled the latest version of Sprint's VVM app which worked fine except for the annoying text message notifications from 9016. I searched all over the Internet for a solution. I read quite a few, "oh here's all you need to do ...worked for me...problem solved!" posts which frankly need to be deleted so others don't stumble across them and waste their time. Here's what I know to be true from my own research and testing using MY SAMSUNG EPIC 4G TOUCH aka Samsung Galaxy S2:
Texting "Block 9016" to 9999 - with or without the quotes - doesn't suppress text messages from 9016. You *will* get a lovely text from Sprint confirming that messages to and from 9016 are now blocked, but they won't be...because they're not supposed to be.
Recording a voicemail message - whether it's 5 seconds or 25 seconds - and sending it to "[email protected]" doesn't suppress text messages from 9016 - something you would have quickly discovered had you finally figured out that instead of sharing via Gmail/Email after you hit the share icon - which as Jim knows only resulted in a message not delivered notice - you instead needed to click Share Message and then in the To: field type [email protected], and then hit the return key on the keypad and then the send button. Had you been successful, you would have received yet another lovely text message from Sprint confirming that your voicemail service has been reprovisioned. As it turns out, reprovisioning your service doesn't suppress texts from 9016...because they're not supposed to be suppressed.
It occurred to me that Sprint needs to send a text from 9016 to alert the VMM app to download new messages from the VMM server. I don't need to see it on the MMS app because the VMM app sends a notification to the status bar. My hunch is that something in either the TW based ROM or the TW stock MMS app was coded to suppress texts from 9016. That "something" is apparently missing on the CM10 and/or stock MMS apps.
The good news is that "something" is not missing in the Handcent SMS app available for free on Play Store. I downloaded and installed Handcent and then disabled the stock MMS app. I didn't even have to add 9016 as a blacklist number. The Handcent developers baked the suppression fix into their code sometime in 2011 according to the release notes on their website.
Try Handcent and say goodbye to annoying texts from 9016 and say hello to pretty colors and cool features (neither of which you probably care about but it's free and I'm happy).

Beginning with Handcent 3.9.8 - which was released over a year ago - the Sprint VVM 9016 fix is baked into the app itself, so there is no need to create a blacklist entry. Just download and install Handcent SMS, disable the stock Messaging app and it's gone!

For those of us who like the stock messaging app, and dislike clunky third party programs, or just like aosp, this doesn't help

Nice! Thanks man! I just switched to an MIUI JB rom and it I really wanted my VVM back. It works on there fine btw.
