Im on Tello mvo off t-mobile same thing T-mobiles app works but who want more 3rd party apps , googles never worked not on a pixel phone but its a common problem Ive flashed many roms currently on Arrow12 poco f-3 but it never worked on stock and all other roms ivied flashed so I just call VM its the best solution so far
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
No third party vvm or vm apps separate from Google Phone are installed. Whenever a vvm app was installed it was temporary. I understand that no other voicemail apps should be installed while using Google Phone's vvm.

First I tried getting Google Phone's vvm to activate. It never did after lots of trouble shooting (cleared storage in Phone, reset networks, rolled back Phone etc.). I installed My Visual Voicemail just to make sure it would activate. It does activate and works as expected. Knowing Mint's voicemail works fine with this app and probably others, and that calling voicemail works, focus is on Google Phone and/or the phone network.

The part that really peeves me is that Google Phone's vvm worked great on a Pixel 5a recently with the same SIM.
[Google Pixel 6] EtherealRemnant:
VVM works fine on Tello on my 3 XL. I just had to turn off wifi before I enabled the VVM switch, it wouldn't provision with wifi.
[Google Pixel 6] mac796:
Wasnt working for me either. I decided to uninstall TMobile vvm and try it again and now the Google one is working. Maybe January fixed it for me.
[Google Pixel 6] strongergravity:
I have RedPocket on AT&T's network. When I had the OnePlus 7t I had the same VVM issues the OP described. They reset stuff on my account & SIM with no luck. It had worked fine on the Pixel 3 I had before and it's working fine on the Pixel 6 I have now. It's probably as much a OnePlus problem then anything.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I read about trying this but in my case it didn't help.

I notice Mint Mobile's store recently added the Pixel 5a to their offerings but not the 6, yet. This has me wondering if there's a provisioning issue on the carrier side.

However, Mint customers in recent reddit posts describe a mixed bag that show no pattern at all. For some Pixel 6 users Google's vvm works but not for others.

[Google Pixel 6] EtherealRemnant:
Does the phone recognize your Mint SIM as being T-Mobile? I know that has caused problems before.

Honestly the MVNO situation with iPhone, Samsung, and Pixel can be really messy. My 12 Pro Max still doesn't get 5G on most T-Mobile MVNOs because T-Mobile moved them to new SIM cards that the T-Mobile bundle doesn't recognize (8901240 instead of T-Mobile's 8901260) and I've seen a wide range of complaints about MVNOs not working right on Pixels. I think it was Red Pocket that was being seen as "zipsim" or something on Pixels and broke a lot of features.

Buddy of mine got a 6 and he reported that Tello's VVM does not work so yeah, I guess I'll find out when I buy my 6 or 6 Pro in a few months.
[Google Pixel 6] finshan:
Have you tried activating it over mobile data?

I switch phones a lot and have had your issue several times, most recently on my pixel 6. Disabling wifi while I opened the voicemail got it working, and it has in the past as well. (Might want to force stop and clear data and etc, maybe a reboot, then try on mobile data only.)
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
No, it's recognized as Mint in network settings plus the voicemail number that was setup is Mint's. The APN that's automatically configured is T-Mobile's but switching to Mint's wholesale APN makes no difference.

Doesn't mean you're not onto something. One difference between the Pixel 6 and 5a setups (again, Google's vvm worked on the 5a) is that Play Store installed a T-Mobile app on the Pixel 6 on its first day. I didn't think much of it until I saw a T-Mobile option under Default apps settings. Can't remember what that setting was but it didn't seem related to voicemail. When I uninstalled this app the setting under Default apps disappeard. Which was a relief because for a moment I broke out in a sweat thinking the T-Mobile model was shipped. I verified my phone is the unlocked model.

Over the weekend I may unlock the bootloader and root. Maybe wiping will make a difference.

Btw, Mint does in fact sell the Pixel 6, they're just out of stock.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Yes, many times usually connected to 5G. Tried setting LTE as the preference too.

I'm resigning myself to an alternative like Google Voice or Youmail. A friend with a OnePlus 8T TMO variant has never gotten native vvm to work with T-Mobile's network. His unanswered calls go to Google Voice and the Phone app's vvm works well with it.
[Google Pixel 6] Fatalah:
Same issue here! (Mint Mobile user)

We are pulling our hair out on the Pixel subreddit:

Pixel Subreddit Link
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Thanks for chiming in. Parts of that subreddit are informative while most of it repeats other articles I've seen. It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle but one thing is certain: if T-Mobile boffins can't figure it out no point in asking Mint about it unless we want the usual "Don't support it" or "Can't guarantee it" nonsense.

Interesting that there's a Mint voicemail number (18056377243) different than the one assigned by my Mint SIM (18056377456). We could try different numbers but the setting is greyed out in the Phone app. Changing the number would require removing the SIM to make the field editable but it'll probably revert back to the original number when the SIM reconnects.
[Google Pixel 6] EtherealRemnant:
Just FYI, the one Tello uses where my VVM works on my 3 XL is the same as Mint is using.

At this point it seems like an issue specific to 6/6 Pro because I have confirmation of VVM working on T-Mobile MVNOs with 3/4/5 and two people I know could not get it working on 6/6 Pro, both with Tello, who had it working on their last Pixel.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I don't think that's the case and for some Pixel 6 users it's working. There's no logical pattern except that OnePlus models on T-Mobile's network stand out the most. AT&T and Verizon customers have reported the issue too.
[Google Pixel 6] EtherealRemnant:
It's working for them on T-Mobile MVNOs? I have seen nothing but complaints when it comes to VVM on the 6/6 Pro with T-Mobile MVNOs. I have yet to see one person confirm it is working.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I'm referring to a couple Pixel 6/Pro users in the subreddit I linked to a couple days ago. Plus at least one affirmative in this thread as I recall.
[Google Pixel 6] EtherealRemnant:
Well I stand corrected then. No clue what the issue is. I'm getting my 6 next month (if I can hold out that long lol), I'll have to see if my Tello VVM gives me any hassle.
[Google Pixel 6] Fatalah:
Apologies, I didn't format my link correctly earlier. The thread starter on Reddit has been collecting phone log data to help troubleshoot the issue. He and I are not giving up!

Pixel Subreddit Link

My story is this: Visual Voicemail works perfectly on my 1st Pixel 6. This is the first device I've ever registered with Mint - I switched in December 2021.

Fast forward to January, I needed a replacement Pixel 6, so I inserted my Mint SIM into the replacement Pixel 6 and visual voicemail cannot be activated.

Curiously, when switching the SIM back to my 1st Pixel 6, Visual Voicemail is fully functional!

So perhaps the carrier needs to register my new phone's IMEI number? I've read a few success stories from AT&T users who called AT&T to request their phone number get re-provisioned to fix their visual voicemail - that did the trick for them.

When I called Mint, it took about an hour, but the Mint rep got a hold of T-Mobile, and "didn't see anything wrong with my account setup". They not execute my request to provision.

The original poster on the Reddit thread has run into the same story w/ T-Mobile - "everything looks fine on our end!".

Frustrated!
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
The picture you paint is same as mine except that vvm worked on a Pixel 5a (Android 11 & 12) before I switched to the 6. Sounds like you're doing your homework so maybe you've read about people who got it working after replacing the SIM. Although everything I've read points to carrier snafus, I think there's still a possibility Google Phone is part of the problem.

Fyi, a reset from bootloader unlocking had no effect.
[Google Pixel 6] Fatalah:
I've not come across success stories of people replacing their SIM to fix the issue.

On the Reddit thread, someone switched to ESIM but visual voicemail still didn't work.
[Google Pixel 6] _MattH_:
This did the trick for me, tried most suggestions here. with tmobile's app uninstalled, and wifi off I was able to provision on the tmobile network.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Wish I could say the same. I read somewhere about activating with wifi off. Whenever I tried it didn't work.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
All of a sudden visual voicemail is working for me. No explanation why. Activation occurred before installing the February update.

Sometimes I would toggle the vvm switch in the Phone app thinking I might get lucky. It never worked before but yesterday it paid off. My steps: 1) turned off wifi; 2) powered off and on; 3) open the Phone app first thing and enable visual voicemail. Normally I'd wait for the "isn't working" error but this time it took about a minute to activate and is working.

A friend with a OnePlus 8T on T-Mobile has been trying the same steps but hasn't been as lucky yet.
[Google Pixel 6] gff1stof3:
I'm my case I have been with Mint for over a year with Pixel 5a with no issues. VVM always worked. Had some of the 5G issues due to a TMO network upgrade so I needed a new SIM. The minute I switched to the new eSIM my VVM died. Today I helped a friend update his SIM on his 5a also on Mint and his VVM died also. Now here is the weird part while at his house my VVM just magically started working on my 5a and I changed nothing. Only difference would be I was on a different tower that was still LTE mostly. Not sure what's up but those are the facts.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Once it started working for me on Pixel 6 it never stopped. Recently switched to Pixel 7 with the same SIM card from Mint and it's been touch and go. No trouble activating this time around, it just struggles with updating and fetching messages and I have to tap Try again a few times or give up and wait it out. Seems to sort itself out best if wi-fi is turned off.
[Google Pixel 6] gff1stof3:
Yes it is very weird. You know when it works you always see the voicemail indicator come on briefly when you reboot the phone. When it does not work you never see it attempt to set itself up. Its like something causes google to not even try to initialize the VVM function. Mine is still working now but not sure how long that will last. And since mine started working by doing nothing it kinda implies nothing is configured wrong. Maybe when TMO gets done with all the tower upgrades around here it will get sorted out. At least I hope so. :)
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
At home I'm usually stuck on 5G and that seems to be my problem with VVM. I get best results if I'm on LTE and I'll trouble shoot with wi-fi turned off, then turn wi-fi back on when VVM is working and everything works as expected. Right now my preferred network type is set to LTE and VVM hasn't acted up since last time I was on 5G. I think you're right about TMO and whatever they're doing with 5G expansion.
[Google Pixel 6] d33dvb:
Figured out how to enable visual voicemail. Download samfw frp tool , change csc to xaa, and go to samfw and get the xaa version of your firmware. flash this.

It will appear as an app and work correctly.
[General Topics] fungy1129:
the problem i face is same as the title, i want the music keep playing even while i press the power button.

i have tried pocketplayer, S2P, kinoma, HTC audio manager (manilla2d built-in) and they stop while i press the power button to put the machine to sleep mode.

i search in google but i can not find suitable articles for me.

is there anything i could do with my machine ? i am using hermes with manilla 2d rom, but before i flash this rom, everything just fine, but now, it makes me so annoying that i need keep press power button every few mins .
[General Topics] MTM:
I use S2P and S2U2 and have set S2U2 to only blank the screen and not power off totally after 45 seconds (you can just change this to the time you want). That way I can just let the display time out and the music keeps playing. I think you can use any music player along with S2U2 this way and keep the music playing with the display off.
[General Topics] jmckeejr:
Pocket Player works for me

I use pocket player, and that function works fine for me. Just make sure to change the sttings : menu>more>options>advanced>power options

The only problem I have had is with the newest version. The music keeps playing when I use the power button, but I can't control playback functions like I could in version 3.6

I wouldn't recommend any other player. I use pocket player on a daily basis for my work. I do floor contracting/installation. I listen all day through bluetooth headset(function supported by pocket player without adding any other programs like BT toggle). Also has EQ and a lot of plugins(support winmedia plugins as well).

Might sound like a salesman, but I've tried them all and pocket player is the best. I hope somebody figures a way to make HTC home support:)

If you just wanna flashing miui 12.5.19 EU, just use latest official twrp then, but i tell you that i've already try it this version before.. and it's not good rom for battery backup, then i decide to switch to the first of MIUI 13.0.2.0 EU rom that's A12 , so flashing via fastboot, but battery still not better, then a week after that i saw there's an update MIUI 13.0.3.0 EU, then flashing update with fastboot method again yesterday, and the result about battery backup is awesome IMO.

I have an XT1965-T whose GPS seemed fine with QPWS30.61-21-18-7-3 (never noticed any issues). But the system got very slow over time.

End of November 2021 I did a dirty flash of QPWS30.61-21-18-7-12 in the other slot, it booted without issues. The system got quite a bit faster.

I also changed the cellular provider in early Dec.

Now my GPS is 1-2 streets off. It's almost useless. It seems to move around several streets in a few seconds if I open Google Maps.

I tried to clear modemst1/modemst2 - did not help. I tried to copy modem/fsg partitions from the earlier QPWS30.61-21-18-7-3 to the current QPWS30.61-21-18-7-12 - also no improvement. I reverted back.

Googling for "moto g7 plus gps" brings quite a few complaints. One poster had 2 phones with the latest updates have this issue. It seems like it's in the software.

Any ideas what's happening?
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
I have the very same phone with very same issue that started dec 2021. After talking to Motorola company and many tries this ended up working for me yesterday. Got to setting select app & notification press on see all apps then press the 3 dots on top right and select reset app preferences. Then restart phone and go to your gps apps and give permission of location and storage. Hope this helps as it did for me. I use Google maps and tomtom go which now work great.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
This did not work for me. I cleared permissions, and Maps started in the correct location, and then drifted again. Have you done any other operations else before that?

Do you recall when you updated the system last, was it in Dec? Have you changed your cell provider in Dec by any chance? Any changes you can remember?

When I open the Maps, I am often in the right place. Then it starts to drift. Same story with Waze.

I now wonder if it's some update that messed things up, like Google Play Services. I tried downgrading the cell modem last week (my phone is rooted) - did not help.

Here are few more reports of the issues, all in Dec 2021:

Question - Moto G7 Plus trouble

Hello, a couple of months ago, I purchased a Moto G7 Plus to replace the Moto G6 I had been using for about 30 months. I am pretty unhappy with this G7 and wondering if I got a lemon. The two primary issues are battery life and GPS trouble. One of the reasons I replaced the G6 was that the...

[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
After going to setting then app& notification then selecting see all app where the 3 dots on top right you selected reset app preferences? But did you go back and give permission to gps apps to use location in app info? Doing those exact steps that Motorola person on phone told me to do worked. Other options they gave me but didn't help but might help you is * restart phone..* turn on and off location and airplane mode..* doing a network reset or lastly which I hated was doing factory reset. I have AT&T. I say call Motorola customer service. They can give you options.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
After doing "reset app preferences" I went back to apps and open app info and gave permission to location, physical activities and storage. Here is a screenshot.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
Maps is a built in app, and even if I reset permissions, it comes back with the Location permission turned on. Even if I turn it off manually, it still comes back turned on after a reboot. I will try to drive after this procedure - and see how it goes. It does not seem to jump as far, but still it's not locking onto my house location. Another Moto - Moto E is not moving, and showing the correct location.

Is yours now sticking solid to where you are at? No drift at all?

Update: it just drifted several houses again! Are you sure yours is working properly?
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
Yes my works properly, I used my tomtom go app yesterday and today with no issues. When I use Google map the blue dot stays in one stop were as before would show dot like few blocks down. I say call Motorola customer service and explain to them the issue they helped me. Just bare with them they need to go through all the steps you probably already did. The steps I explained to you are the ones they told me yesterday and it worked. Give them a call and let me know if they helped out.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
Here is the number
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
Can you reset permissions again and see if Maps "location" permission has to be activated, or it comes back by itself? It's a built in app, i think those permissions are baked in.

Can you share your build version? It sits in "About phone". Mine is QPWS30.61-21-18-7-12. Software channel says "RETLA" for me.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
If I do I'd have to restart phone which erases my music I have downloaded on Spotify and have to redownload. Lady told me after doing "reset app preferences" you have to restart phone. After I did I went back to apps and had to give permission for apps. Sorry.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
Actually when I did the reset app preferences the restarted on its own before I pressed power button.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
No problem. Could you at least provide this info:

"Can you share your build version? It sits in "About phone". Mine is QPWS30.61-21-18-7-12. Software channel says "RETLA" for me."
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Joes221984:
Sure mine is QPWS30.61-21-18-7-12 and Retla also. Like I said call Motorola and they can help you. Give them your IMEI number is also in the about phone section. Lady asked for my IMEI and she told me about the steps that help mine work
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
Somehow I doubt that :) But thanks for your help so far!!!

It's not clear why permission reset helps - the GPS drift happens across all apps.
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] bibikalka:
So my GPS still drifts occasionally. But I used it to navigate yesterday, and it mostly knew where I was and gave sensible directions. So something must have worked after all - although still not fully like it should be.

i can't back mine up now because its running LineageOS, but if I want to return to stock i'd have to use an older image.

[Touch GSM General] touch_user01:
Forgive me cause i'm new to this forum, but I have an HTC Touch (don't know about the ELF part). My provider is Alltel.

I'm using Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate which has lots of presets, choosing windows mobile 6 wmv format and using the 320 x 240 resolution results in some really choppy playback on my phone. Trying a smaller resolution of 176 x 144 results in smoother playback but looks blurry compared to the other resolution.

I've googled and read that these phones have a 200mhz processor and thats why the video playback is choppy but when I go to Device Information under System I show a QUALCOMM 7500 (400MHz) processor.

Surely 400mhz is enough to play a small wmv file at 320 x 240? Does anyone have any ideas why my video playback is so choppy? Checked the encoded file on a few different pc's and it works fine with no play back issues. Just seems like the phone can't handle the task.
[Touch GSM General] hotrod101:
sounds like you have a HTC Vogue not Elf. IF you have GPS than you have the Vogue - If you have WIFI then you have Elf. I use Pocket Divx encoder to convert my video files for playback on my elf with a slower processor and the video's play smoothly. This question has already been asked several times - I have answered to this question personally before so I know. You need to make sure that you use the Search feature before posting questions.

Pocket Divx encoder is free - Just google it and you should find int rather quickly.
