Hi there. I've been running Mik 2.55 and Chop Suey 0.9 for several days now, no issues, no problems.

All of a sudden today, voicemails won't download. I hit the 'retry download' and it doesn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it maybe a Sprint Network thing??

Thanks!

*Update*
A few of the things I've tried to resolve it -

Wiped Davlik Cache & Cache

Updated Profile

Updated PRL

Verified on all the newest radios

Checked Voicemail settings - didn't find anything, but maybe didn't know where to look?

Searched MikMik forums for an answer

Searched XDA forums for an answer

Ideas anybody?? Not a critical problem.....but a damned annoying one!! :mad:

Thanks!

Stop using Sprint voicemail and come to the darkside and use Google voice for your voicemail. It's easy to set up and if you decide to flash a new rom, sign back into Google Voice and your settings will still be the same.

I've been using Google voice for almost 2 years now and not one issue with the voicemail.

This may not be the answer you're looking for but this may be an alternative to sprint voicemail. I also hear that youmail works fine also. Both youmail and Google voice can be found in the market

This dark side you speak of, do they have cookies? :D

Man, I'm pretty deep in the darkside at this point, just a couple weeks ago I was an absolute noob running a stock phone, and look at me now..rooted, rom'ed kerneled. Anyway, I love I mean freakin' LOVE visual voicemail...not listening to BS messages I don't want to bother with is very, very nice.

Does Google voice work like that, or is it more like old-school...press one, press 7, etc.?

Well, GV is transcribed for you and when you want to listen to a message, you just press play underneath the transcribed message. No pressing numbers.

Very simple interface and if you're on your computer and someone leaves a message, you will be able to see the transcribed message in GV.

So, this is way weird. I downloaded youmail, and set it up. Went through the whole setup, and there's a part where the app actually calls the server/carrier/something and sets itself up as the new default.

I did that, then tried making a greeting...no dice. 'Connection Issues'

Then, like magic, my Sprint Visual Voicemail suddenly downloaded 3 days worth of messages, and appears to be working.

Weird.
