[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycologist:
All I could find on the subject

Recent HTC phones include a special version of AT&T Visual voicemail. As a result it's no long possible to download and install the standard vvm app from the play store. I've installed ARHD and would like to figure out how to get AT&T visual voicemail on this particular rom.

I've tried extracting the visual voicemail apk from my stock nandroid, but can't get it to work. I've installed it but the app doesn't appear with my other apps.

I can't post a link, but here's a copy paste of what I found on the at&t site regarding the m8 and visual voicemail.

Visual Voicemail for HTC Android smartphones

Starting in March 2014, all new 4G LTE HTC Android smartphone models will include a new, built-in Visual Voicemail application. The HTC One (M8) is the first Android smartphone to introduce the new HTC Visual Voicemail app.

Important Note

If you have an earlier model HTC Android smartphone and use the AT&T Visual Voicemail downloadable app for Android, your experience won't change. Follow the link above to view a list of supported smartphones.

Key features and benefits of the new HTC Visual Voicemail app for Android smartphones include:

New Message Counter displayed on the Visual Voicemail app icon, so you can quickly check if you have new messages from your smartphone app tray.

Text Transcription you can turn on and off from within the app, so you can read your voicemail messages discreetly on your smartphone.

Visual Voicemail icon button built into the app tray and dialer for quick access to your Visual Voicemail message inbox.

With Visual Voicemail on your HTC Android smartphone, you can:

View a list of your voicemail messages directly on your smartphone and play them in any order you choose, so you can get to your most important messages first.

Save messages to your smartphone's memory or memory card, so you can keep your important messages for as long as you want.

Reply to messages by returning the call or sending a text message.

Change your voicemail password and manage greetings directly on your smartphone.

Requirements to use Visual Voicemail

In order to use the Visual Voicemail app on your 4G LTE HTC Android smartphone:

Your smartphone data plan must include Visual Voicemail.

Your smartphone needs a cellular data connection. You can't set up or manage your Visual Voicemail over a Wi-Fi-only connection on your smartphone.

Compatible With ARHD 11.1?

Can this be flashed on top of ARHD 11.1? And will it add VVM to the phone section as well as an App? Has anyone done this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonders_Never_Cease:
This will only install the app if it works,it will not add anything other than that. I will not add the dialer functionality as are seen with new att roms.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Has anyone actually gotten this to connect with AT&T's voice mail system? I am running the DevEd ROM (pure stock outside of root) and while the app runs, and goes through the motions, it never gets the confirmation it needs to finalize setup.

I would love to get this back, as it's the only thing that I "miss" from the carrier firmware.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wotta:
This version of Visual Voicemail (2.8.2.21) doesn't seem to integrate with "Messages" the way the ROM version did, with speech-to-text. Am I missing something?

Also, is there a version that will work even when connected also to Wi-Fi in addition to mobile data? My main problem is that when a message is left while I'm on WiFi, the stock VVM chews through the battery fast trying to download but failing.

Latest AT&T Visual Voicemail v2.10.1.27

Attached is the latest version, from November 6, 2014.

For devices that are compatible with AT&T Visual VoiceMail see http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414957&cv=820#fbid=APh8mY9oZLY

AT&T had discontinued the speech-to-text service. It used to be a premium add-on, a few bucks a month. I had it as a free trial which lasted much longer than 30 days, and it was interesting and amusing to have - but it was NOT very accurate. So I wasn't terribly bummed when it was discontinued. BUT, the new version has speech to text as a tick off box in settings. Tick that box, reboot, and it works again!

Definitely will only work when connected to cellular data. There will be a popup that says that, if you are on wifi only.

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

I found that I had to have the voicemail pin active for it to work. I think the app waits for the pin to be entered before doing whatever handshake or does. Put your password security back on for voicemail, try again and see if it works.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I did that, repeatedly... I finally just gave up. The only one who leaves voice mail anymore is my mother and telemarketing scum. Everyone else sends texts. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swich2mac:
AT&T released an updated .apk on 2/12/15 and it replaced 2.10.1.27. Not sure of the version number as It appears to be hidden on the play store. If anyone has the latest version or is running a compatible device, could you please use an .apk extractor and send it up? I would greatly appreciate it!

Ridiculous that AT&T keeps restricting this app to BYOD that weren't purchased through AT&T.

Is there a way to mount or extract the files within the stock system.img (and other img files)?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaocagomez:
i was trying to do this a few days ago and i found that somehow the system.img from the firmware was protected, i tried lots of programs but none worked, all marked an error. so i dont know what to do next.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayze:
Well, I ended up flashing the system.img file and then rebooting immediately into TRWP and taking a backup. From that I was able to copy it down and extract the contents. Kind of roundabout but it worked. If someone has a more direct method I'd like to know how it can be done.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summersett:
Download ImgExtractor 1.3.4 by And_PDA (Program page here). To use, open a command prompt in the directory where ImgExtractor.exe and system.img are, and enter:

ImgExtractor.exe system.img System -i

where system.img is the file you're extracting and System is the folder it will extract all of the files to (it will create one if it doesn't already exist). The "-i" is optional, but it shows the individual files as they are extracted (verbose output), and is more fun to look at than an idle window.

See the readme or double click on ImgExtractor.exe for more usage info.

EDIT: Download is now linked to my DropBox and added with readme below.

that worked perfectly, i'll attach that file because the russian page 404'd it, so i had to find it somewhere else.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I have been dying to get this phone, especially because I am waiting to switch to ATT from Sprint to get this phone. I want the Glacial Silver but none of the stores have gotten any stock or know anything about it and the website still only has the Gunmetal. Bestbuy has the silver for ATT as "coming soon" but I have no idea if I should trust best buys website. Anyone heard anything about the silver ATT branded one?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Im suprised no one has heard anything at all. It seems like the Gunmetal is so popular no one is concerned with the SIlver for the small minority of us who prefer it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Vandam500:
Yeah, the Gunmetal is that awesome :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dxwilliams40:
I love the gunmetal. I originally wanted the gold, but it looked really cheesy when I saw up close in best buy.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Can order online from htc,unlocked version@glacier silver
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I am considering this but the upfront cost is a bit much to stomach as a broke grad student.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
From what Im told....no retail stores will have stock except verizon until the 11th of this month.....so might as well just wait a few more days and see what comes to be...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] poison1916:
sent an email to an AT&T executive, hopefully we'll hear back soon
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Fidelio_o:
Best buy has an AT&T Glacial Silver on the webpage but not available yet to order nor in store.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
AT&T customer service said 4/25 release of glacial silver for all channels.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
How did you get them to tell you this? I have been talked to a couple store managers and a telesales manager and they all have no idea and say they won't know it's coming in until a day or two before it launches which could be months away they seem to think. The 25th is a bit far away but it's better than not knowing at all when it's coming so I hope it's true.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
I just told her I was planning to port my numbers from Verizon to AT&T and wanted to see if there way any way to get it sooner. She said no. 4/25 is when it will be released on all channels. Who knows if she really had that information but that is what she told me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Was this from Telesales or an in-store rep?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Telesales. Do you think she knew what she was talking about?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
It's hard to say. I saw someone over on androidcentral forums posted ATT reps gave him exact same date, so unless that was you posting over there as well under a different name then 2 different people have been told by ATT it's coming on the 25th. I don't know why some reps have this info and others have literally no idea when it is coming, so your guess is as good as mine at this point.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] poison1916:
I just got an email back from an AT&T executive manager in sales planning. They do not have details on the silver M8. This means there is no release date set.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
So does this mean it's a ways out or it could be soon they just don't know an exact date yet?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] poison1916:
It means there is no information at all. Check with HTC on the status of the FCC approval?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
That's my post on under my account at androidcentral.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

I bought the unlocked glacial si;ver directly from HTC and received it but I started reading posts about how AT&T Visual Voice Mail doesn't work on the unlocked device so I decided to return it. I know I could use Google Voice for Voicemail but I tried it on my current phone and it seems flaky. Plus, I don't want to go back and forth between HTC and AT&T if I have problems with the unlocked device on ATT. I can see ATT blaming the fact that I have an unlocked phone causing any netowrk problems. I don't need that headache. I guess I'll wait for the Silver One on AT&T whenever that may be. I did stop by a corporate store today and the sales rep said there is currently no SIlver One in their system. Nothing we already didn't know.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Yea there has only been 1 HTC One M8 for ATT gone through and it doesn't specify the color, so since Grey and Gold are both out then that doesn't really give any information. If there isn't any info at all about release does that mean it is pretty far out? Like if it were coming out in the next week there would be some information available? Or is it possible it can just launch without any indication so theoretically it could be out by this Friday or next week sometime?

That totally crossed my mind when I saw it on both but I hoped it wasn't you since that means it is just slightly more evidence to a specific date. I would definitely take that reps comment with a grain of salt since no one else at ATT seems to have access to any dates, I can't imagine one rep has something that not everyone has access too.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Does the Verizon M8 have two separate listings at the FCC?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Not that I've found. It's one per carrier. The only thing the FCC is concerned with is what type of frequencies the phone can connect to, so there shouldn't be more than one entry per carrier. Since the Silver version for Verizon doesn't have different radios in it than the Gunmetal for Verizon, the FCC has no reason to test each color individually, this would be a tremendous waste of time. So the FCC filings have nothing to do with the color options available unfortunately.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
So, then the only reliable info that the silver one will come out eventually is the Best Buy listing. This whole thing is pretty dumb. Who is going to go to a different carrier just for the color They want. I just need to switch to ATT from Verizon since my service is bad where I work. They installed ATT repeaters in the office building so ATT service is fine. The gunmetal is nice in its own way but I prefer the silver one. I called up telesales again and the lady said they only have one color, gunmetal gray. I said I want the silver one. She said" HTC only makes one color, and besides it's not going to matter when you put a case on it" I was like no thanks, bye.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I'm in a similar situation in I'm waiting to leave Sprint but I want the Silver version of this phone before I make the switch. I've talked to best buy now a couple of times and they gave me a little hope but take it with a grain if salt. Two different reps, one a phone rep and the other a Manager at the Best Buy mobile dept at my local store. They said that it is likely coming within a couple of weeks because they have the page up already. They said they don't usually have the page up unless there is going to be stock sometime in the nearish future. Again I don't believe anything at face value these reps say anymore but there isn't a listing for the Sprint Version in silver so they actively made a page for silver on ATT but not Sprint. I'm hoping this is because the ATT model is close and not because they just made it thinking it will come eventually.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
That's the same thing I was told when I called Best Buy online sales. The rep said if there is a page up it means it will be in sock in two weeks. Guess we will have to wait and see.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
The page has been up since not long after it came out if I recall. If this is true then it might be this Friday when it was supposed to officially launch anyway. I hope this is true and considering 3 reps have now said that it will be in stock within 2 weeks of the page going up is at least something to go off for now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Well, that's something good to know. I think I need a marketing degree to understand why they can't release all three colors on all carriers. Apple has all three colors of the iPhone 5s on all three carriers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
When I google HTC One M8 silver I see an add from HTC that says the all new htc one now in stealth silver. I wonder what that is.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Well, the AT&T press release says coming soon, so it will eventually come, just no idea when..

I don't really know what I'm reading lol. I am getting that tomorrow is the end of Verizon's exclusive on the silver model? I hope that's true, it will make my temptation of just getting the galaxy s5 go away completely.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Just copied some guys posts off of twitter. He's saying Verizon's exclusive deal on the Silver One ends today. But also says that it doesn't mean the SIlver One will be available for purchase tomorrow from other carriers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
This is good news and I can't imagine they will wait months to release it. Especially if the best buy employees are correct about the 2 week deadline if there's a page up for it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Yup.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Nothing new just online chat with best buy:

Thank you for choosing Best Buy. My name is Joy, how can I assist you today?

DO you know when SKU: 4632011 will be available for purchase?

Let me look that up for you.

ok, thanks

I apologize I do not know when this product will come available.

OK, thanks

It will determine upon when we get a shipment from that carrier.

I see

So, it looks like it depends on when AT&T decides to ship the units to Best Buy.

Other than the Verizon Exclusivity business it sounds like a some sort of stock issue. Maybe AT&T hasn't even received the SIlver One's from HTC yet. Or maybe they need to sell a certain number of GunMetal gray before they can start selling the SIlver One's, who knows.

I'm still hoping for the 4/25 date I was told by the telesales rep. Just don't know why she would go out of her way to say "4/25 is when it will be available through all channels."

Maybe that was a tentative date that she got from the system and it won't be available until later, who knows. Just getting tired of waiting.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I'm with you, I'm going to give it a bit longer but I might end up getting either the Gunmetal or S5 if it's too much longer. I'm going to go to the store and play with both today and see how I feel. I already played with the silver and gunmetal side by side at Verizon so I know I like the silver quite a bit more, but I'm not sure if I like it enough more to pay sprint for another month of service to wait for it.

So far reviews of the S5 are pretty positive and I have missed the water resistance a bit since I sold my Xperia Z. I just don't know if the new touchwiz is improved enough to make me like it after the Note 2 I had and the locked down boot loader prevents removing it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
I am an ATT guy, but went to a nearby Verizon store, to see both colors of the M8 in person. And my God, the Silver blows away the Grey, the silver looks so rich and high end, and I like the matte finish of the silver too, just looks like it was crafted out of a raw piece of aluminum. Where the Grey looks painted on, and way too shiny, Grey doesn't have that wow factor.

Why the heck doesn't ATT carry the silver ? Is April 25th the official date ATT starts carrying Glacial Silver ?

Oh yeah, the M8 trumps the S5 IMO. The M8 can be rooted, unlocked, S-Offed, custom recovery, and flash stock ROM's, or tweaked Sense ROM's, or GPE ROM's. The Boom speakers are crazy good for YouTube videos, and speaker phone conversations. And all benchmarks show the M8 has even better battery life than the S5, not by much, but still, end of the day the M8 has slightly better battery life.

S5 no root, no custom recovery, no flashing ROM's. Touchwiz is butt ugly, yes it's improved and looks much better on the S5, but still is a hog, and can still lag a little here and there. Ok the S5 is waterproof that is cool.

I'll take the M8 over the S5 any day
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
There is no official date when ATT will get the Silver M8. I was told by one telesales rep that it would be released 4/25 but that is just the word of one telesales rep so tkae it with a grain of salt.
