OK smart guy… I am running stock 5.9.902, no root. What exactly could I have done to the the device to cause this functionality to fail?

anyone know when we’ll see voicemails integrated into the ICS call log like they demonstrated months ago?

Yeah, it’s MUCH better than the basic Verizon voice mail which I’ve had for years. But take caution, it will completely remove/delete your Verizon voice mail so make sure you don’t have any important saved messages left on it.

Finally. Now I have visual voice mail! The theme matches ICS except for the notification icon which is like a more detailed grey symbol as opposed to the simplistic white symbols.

is there any reason it now needs to read sensitive log data?

Have you gotten it to work yet? I also have the blacked out theme on AOKP and am getting the same message. I tried to delete the apk using Astro like r0lct suggested, but it says “Error deleting files” when I do. I tried rebooting after this anyways and am still getting the “Package is not signed correctly” message in the market. I’m still new to this all, so am I doing it wrong? Is Astro the wrong app to use to properly delete the apk?

I forgot one important step, after deleting the apk you need ot reboot. Sorry.

I have the update on a Bionic and it works perfectly. I can ‘press 1 to accept’. The only failure is on your part.

Oh you know what I bet it is? I’m on the blacked out GApps theme… shoot dang.

This has been in the article for a bit now…

“Update: If your market will not allow you to update, try this trick from reader fallingd0wn:

Pull up Google Voice in the web market on a PC. It will
show installed already on your phone, but click “Install” anyway.
You’ll get the updated version.”

I am rooted and ROM’ed. Deleted the .apk, tried to reinstall from the market, and now it says “Incompatible Update”……………………..

Google Voice would be perfect for that. You’ll basically just end up ditching Verizon’s voicemail all together and just use GV instead. You can set it up without even activating a new number with Google (though you could if you wanted).

If you’re on a custom ROM just delete the google voice apk from the system/apps directory and then it’ll work.

Edit: to be clear you need to have root to do what I said, but you likely wouldn’t have the problem unless you were rooted and rom’ed.
