I'm wondering if there is an alternate dialer or phone canvas for windows mobile that could be used with the touch pro 2.
Here is the reason. When I go to call into my voicemail system at the office to check my messages in order to access the mailbox I have to hit "*,*". However when I do this on my TP2 it generates the letter p and I can not get into the voicemail system to check messages. I have had to cut back on expenses recently and no longer have an assistant to check my messages/relay them to me. Reconfiguring the voicemail system to accept a different key command is also not an option.
Anyone have any suggestions here?
If this can't be resolved then I'll have to get another phone and Telus wants to just rape me for that too.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else is missing the backup assistant on this ROM?
Also, the voicemail tab within the messaging app is gone and I can't figure out how to check it without manually dialing *86 every time... Help?
Also, when I dialed ##3282 and entered edit mode, there is a ton of Sprint garbage in there....I did download the Dinc ROM, so this is very strange to me... Any ideas why Sprint info and addresses are in there?
Thanks !
The VM tab in the messaging app was for Visual Voice mail and that is not in the ROM. You can dial voice mail in the dialer by pressing and holding the 1 . That is the speed dial for voice mail.
The sprint stuff is because the ROM came from a sprint based phone. All the important VZW stuff is changed. That is also why BA is not part of the ROM.
Hi this just started happening recently. I don't know what's going on because I didn't flash a new rom or anything. I'm running Warm 2point2 version 5 from January.
Anyway, my visual voicemail was working a few days ago. however, now I keep getting text messages saying
//ANDROID: 2123314140 has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN, 165690d00, 2086, V69zLlbixvi//CM
Has this happened to anyone else and why?? Thanks for any help.
That sounds like Google Voice. Have you used that? You'll need to go to Google's website on a computer, sign in, go to "Voice" and go to settings.
Hm I've used Google Voice before and had issues and I brought it into Sprint and they fixed it for me. I thought I was rid of Google Voice already! Hmm so what do you do in settings? All it gives me is billing and account, to change it to english or the time zone =/. How do I rid myself of Google Voice once and for all???
I had this happen too out of the blue. It's not google voice. It is either Handcent SMS or Go SMS Pro. I have Go SMS and what I did to solve it was uncheck the box in Settings>receive Settings> Disable other message notification. That solved it for me.
All sprint probably did was uninstall the app. Trust me, I've made the comment of Google voice taking over your phone like Cyberdyne before lol.
Anyways, go to Google and log in. Go to "voice." Go to settings, manage phones, or numbers, or something line that. You have to uncheck your phone number to finally break the link. If you can't find it I'm sure somebody can explain it a little clearer lol.
It wouldn't hurt to check your settings in handcent, if use it. However, if you have not actually fonder to Google's website on the computer, and unlinked your phone number, then you have not really really escaped yet.
Hi this is Jack Diemer, the voicemail product manager at Sprint. It looks to me like you Visual Voicemail did not provisioned. You are receiving the voicemail, but the client does not know what to do with it, so it is giving you the SMS user experience as if you were not a Visual Voicemail subscriber. Try these steps.
Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail (such as any SMS, MMS, TaskKiller, Handcent app)
Next…..
1. Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
2. Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
3. Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile (try to leave yourself a VM)
4. Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu - Compose) of 5+ seconds and send to [email protected]m.sprint.com
5. Test to see if visual voicemail is working again, and if the top 4 items above do not solve the issue, I recommend you call *2 and talk to a Sprint Customer Care Representative.
Thanks for all the responses!! AliLaPointe was right; it was my GO SMS -_______-. I just had to disable the "disable other text notifiications" to get my voicemail working again. Does that mean you'll have to just live with multiple text messages to get your visual voicemail?
And voicemail guy thanks for the advice. Is it true you can send a voicemail as opposed to leaving one (i.e. you compose a message and record it and then send it to them? How does that work? is it like email but in voice format?"
ok, this has been driving me nuts. It is my Handcent SMS, that is messing up visual voicemail. I dont know how why or when they put a part of this program in to cause this text message notifications to come instead of my VVM, but I HATE IT! Uninstalled Handcent and all works like it is supposed to.
Any ideas of how to get handcent to work as it did just a week ago? I did not get an update that I know of.
Also if you hit #2 when you dial that weird number ending in all 0000s, it will say that you will receive all voicemails to the phone. I dont know if that works or not as I am not going to install Handcent again.

Thank you voicemailguy....you've saved me. When I called sprint about this exact issue. The only hope they had for me was to do a hard reset...I don't think so. I truly think for my case I had a little of both issues my Go SMS pro was enabled and vvm wsa not activated. Thanks again for alleviating my frustrations.
Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.
Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.
Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip
When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.

My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

You're in the evo4g forum no one here has tmo as the evo is a cdma phone not gsm
Same problem here since upgrading to latest Android. Did you find a solution yet?
bzzz
Did you manage to find the solution to this?
I tried searching that thread but I only find posts referring to the blue theming of the vvm app, none that talk about getting it to work. and I assume since he went to the trouble to theme it that it must work for him, and since there is a lack of posts about it not working it must work for almost everybody...
but I cant get it to work. I went through the update profile and PRL, and it just doesnt work for me, I always get those texts from 9016 saying to call in this weird number to listen to my voicemail. it still works if I just dial my own number and listen so I dont know why it tells me to call that odd number.
anyone have any ideas? Ive been keeping with the updates recently and would like to continue to stick with that rom but I really want my vvm back...
Are you using a 3rd party messaging app like gosms or handcent?
If so that is what may be causing your issues.
Copied from
Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail.**Two applications in particular,*Go SMS and Handcent*have been causing issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail.*·*********
If you have*Go SMS*you will need to disable the "disable other text notifications"*·*********If you have*Handcent, you will need to go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable".**Now…..*

thanks, Ill give it a shot in a minute, phones booting up from the latest 1/15 update.
I just completely got rid of gosms and tried it and they are back, thanks.
Hi all, I've been asking around on AC forums and haven't got an answer yet, but going to see if tomorrow I can get to an ATT store for tech help. No help on the phone at all, just 3 different Tech reps going over the same thing again and again, with no result. Tried third party apps Google Voice and Youmail, can't even get the access codes to go through. The phone seems to be having errors, because it's looking for the Verizon Voicemail and even though I was able to set speed dial #2 for dialing ATT's Voicemail service, all I get is Missed Call notifications. Not every missed call leaves a voicemail, so would like some sort of Notification to alert me to my voicemails. Need this feature a lot. When I dial the access codes or even try changing to the ATT voicemail their Way with Holding down "1" , all i get is Call can't be completed and an error code. Also a message at the top of keypad screen saying No Sim, Sim Error. To me it seems like it's trying to dial the Verizon number, and it can't because of being on ATT. Has anyone had this problem?
Does anybody know a workaround. I was able to get google voice forwarded to my cell phone number, but doesn't still give a notification. I do get emails sent, even though send a text is clicked on Google Voicemail. Also spent time with their tech support with no help there. Notifications is Set and I have an alert for it on the Phone's Voicemail setting, so that's not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can set att voicemail to speed dial 1. I don't know the number. I just downloaded att visual voicemail app and got it to work. In order to set voicemail you need to go to settings>aplications>call>voicemail settings. Then input the number you're trying to use. It will save it as speed dial #1
