shows message for Visual Voicemail

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.if you have/are using visual voicemail...call yourself
2.leave voicemail
3.wait for popup from sender 901-6

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output is nothing. instead i see a popup when I get a voicemail 
indicating that I should call a 408 number as I was left a message by 
Sprint voice or something like that.  Although over half the time instead 
of the number to call, it gave the variable string instead as if it wasn't 
able to correctly parse a value.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.8 just updated today. android sprint moment

Please provide any additional information below.

Seconded. I'm having this same issue. The app should have the ability to ignore 
SMS
coming from given addresses without those addresses having to be included as
Contacts. (Really I can think of no reason it shouldn't just ignore 901-6 
outright.)

For tracking, this is being discussed here as well:
http://groups.google.com/group/sms-popup-for-
android/browse_thread/thread/a6a98e096a2011e6#

Can one of you verify if creating a contact with phone number 9016 and ignoring 
that 
contact in SMS Popup actually works?

Also can you explain a bit more about how the string is not being parsed 
correctly (a 
screenshot or photo of this happening would be awesome).

As explained in the groups discussion, I'll try seeing if I can detect these 
types of 
messages using the SDK isReplace() function from the SmsMessage class:

I will try again. It didn't work before, but before I think I included the dash.

(pause)

Yep. It will not ignore 901-6 naturally when created as a contact and SMS Popup 
is
told to do so.

It always parses right for me: here's what I got right now:

//ANDROID:<my Google Voice number> has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call
408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN, c2741bcf,2386,V6ab1EgahC0//CM

(I placed the call through GV because if I call my number directly it 
automatically
diverts me into checking voicemail.)

I got a couple more along the lines of "kill the notification" after I had to
manually call into voicemail to get the messages, too, because I think SMS Popup
intercepting them caused the voicemails not to download.

Any progress on this?  It's a great app, but I'm forced to uninstall because of 
the
voicemail issue.  Pretty disappointing.

I will also confirm that I have this issue, HTC Evo 4G on Sprint.

Unfortunately I don't have a Sprint phone to test with so it makes finding the 
problem difficult.  I will try and borrow a friends soon to try.

can someone try this, next time you get a message from the sprint voicemail 
service, reply back to it using sms popup ... then go to the stock messaging 
app and see if there's a new thread with the messages in it.

if yes, can you try a few things:
 -try again to add the number to sms popup's block list
 -check if new sprint voicemail messages replace the older ones or if they continue to pile up in the thread

thanks.

Here is a debug version that tries to prevent the Sprint visual voicemail 
messages from popping up:
http://code.google.com/p/android-smspopup/downloads/detail?name=SMSPopup-1.0.8-s
print-vvm-debug.apk&can=2&q=

Someone please try and respond back here if it helps.

I just tested the debug version, same issue still exists.

Ok thanks.  I think the only way to fix this is to hard code detection of the 
message contents, eg. if message contents start with "//ANDROID:" which is far 
from ideal.  This might have to wait till I implement custom notifications 
based on message content, then sprint users could add their own filter that 
detects this.

ChompSMS, which has a similar popup feature, does properly hide these messages. 
I don't know if they use a specific filter on every message or not, though.

I'm sure they just hard code it ... here's version that checks for carrier 
Sprint and then ignores those messages:
http://code.google.com/p/android-smspopup/downloads/detail?name=SMSPopup-1.0.8-s
print-vvm-debug-2.apk

Can you try and let me know? thanks.

No response, so assuming this is fixed in v1.0.9.  Closing.
