Re: New Gingerbread OTA - Do Stock VZW Voicemail Notifications Wo

Why do so many find this hard to answer. The question is NOT about visual VM.
I no longer get n e indication of vm.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

No. But I'm sure that a fix is on the way very soon.

1. Decompile framework.jar

2. Navigate to 'com\android\internal\telephony\cdma\CDMAPhone.sma li'

3. Locate '.method public updateMessageWaitingIndicator(I)V'

4. Change it to '.method updateMessageWaitingIndicator(I)V'

5. Locate '.method updateMessageWaitingIndicator(Z)V'

6. Insert the following code after the '.end method' annotation: Code: .method public updateMessageWaitingIndicator(ZI)V .registers 3 .parameter "mwi" .parameter "count" .prologue .line 1497 invoke-virtual {p0, p2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/cdma/CDMAPhone;->updateMessageWaitingIndicator(I)V .line 1498 return-void .end method

7. Close 'CDMAPhone.smali'

8. Navigate to 'com\android\internal\telephony\cdma\RuimRecords.s mali'

9. Locate '.method public setVoiceMessageWaiting(II)V'

10. Replace the entire method with the following code: Code: .method public setVoiceMessageWaiting(II)V .registers 5 .parameter "line" .parameter "countWaiting".prologue const/4 v1, 0x1.line 677 if-eq p1, v1, :cond_4.line 700 :goto_3 return-void.line 696 :cond_4 iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/cdma/RuimRecords;->phone:Lcom/android/internal/telephony/PhoneBase;invoke-virtual {v0, v1, p2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/PhoneBase;->updateMessageWaitingIndicator(ZI)Vgoto :goto_3 .end method

11. Recompile and enjoy your fancy new Voicemail indications.

JUST DO NOT FORGET TO DO That after EACH vm.

Ha! I wonder how many people believed I was actually serious?

It just goes to show you how talented and skilled you have to be to do something like that.

Wow! Based on the ticket that I created with VZW support on this problem yesterday, a tech called me today offering to work with me to revert back to the old O/S. I declined. Other than the voicemail notification problem (which is temporarily resolved with VVM), I really like GB - MUCH better battery life and no 4G dropouts.

I have no Voice Mail indicator since the update. Called VZW and they told me there is nothing they can do and HTC is aware of the issue and will work on a hot fix. As for time frame....unknown. All I know is that I was an Android fan with my original Motorola Droid. Now, thanks to the HTC Thunderbolt and its constant issues, I am re-thinking about switching to iOS. It may be a closed operating system, but I have yet to hear of random rebooting, lost voicemail indicators, and when they promise a new release of their iOS on a given date, THEY DELIVER. Oh well. Off to look for some way the get a 3rd party solution for a VM indicator. Stuck with this phone for another 19 months! Can almost guarantee it will still be on a broken Gingerbread release, while the rest of the phones will be on Jellybean (which is after Ice Cream Sandwich).

We'll all be sorry to see you go.

Oh, about the missing VZW VM Notification... if you ask VZW for free VZW Visual Voice Mail in the interim, until this bug is squashed, they'll give it to you. But, maybe you already have and failed. I dunno... I got it.

Frank....asked them about Visual Voice Mail and they would not offer it to me. No credit either. Not certain why some are getting it offered to them while others are not.

Same here. Just like everything else with them you just have to keep calling until you get somebody at one of the support centers who can/will accommodate you.

Re: New Gingerbread OTA - Do Stock VZW Voicemail Notifications Wo

I called VZW and must say my interaction was pretty painless. They already had an open problem ticket so they added my account to that and offered me VVM on credit. Sad to say this is my first real problem I've had with this phone... Must say I do really like VVM, LOL.

The previous update messed up my VM. I took it to the VZ store and they said notifications had been turned off. They "fixed" it. No problem since. Still working with the GB update.

Has anyone besides me email HTC ? I think if more than one person does, might help.

Don't do it! Free vvm is at stake! I don't care if they ever fix the notification bug as long as vzw gives.me.vvm for free. Call for it. It's excellent....and notifications for it work.

I think we are far past that stage since they already pulled the update for that reason. It's not like they are ignoring it.

This was my experience was well. Was on the phone with VZW for ..... Maybe 10 mins. They apologized for the inconvenience and game me free VVM till they had a fix.

Re: New Gingerbread OTA - Do Stock VZW Voicemail Notifications Wo

I went Verizon Store to see if the tech could fix problem. But, no the tech had no clue of the issue. I also do not have Visual Voicemail. The Store tech did not offer me free Visual Voicemail as I have read in other post. I can not believe that Verizon and HTC released 2.3 for the Thunderbolt with such big issue for phone functionality. I hope that the fix is coming soon!!

You just waited for him to offer it to you?
