v.237, VMX icon fix, VMM, Visual Voice Mail
I decided to make this a thread after a few questions in the .237 thread.
Installing v.237, I found that my voice mail (vmx) icon no longer showed when I got a call.
After re-reading the .237 thread, I found that the user VeryBold had identified this early on as an issue the cause being Visual Voice Mail (vmm).
The issue is the vmm overrides the vmx on .237. The fix identified was preload, but I had already loaded.
I am on a Bold, AT&T, running .237, and a crap load of 3rd Party apps. I also use DM 4.7
Here is what I did to fix my issue:
1) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\ and find the file 'net_rim_bb_vmm'.
2) Use notepad to edit net_rim_bb_vmm. Find and change "required" from true to false. This will allow vmm to be uncheck and unselected instead of forced in the install or upgrade process.
3) Save the file - VISTA USERS PLEASE NOTE: If you have trouble saving the file from notepad, save it to the desktop and then manually move it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\
4) Start Desktop manager
5) Connect Bold
6) Go to Apploader - use Add/Remove Programs
7) uncheck the Visual Voice Mail box
8) proceed with updating
This unistalled vmm for me, and my vmx icon reappeared and worked as normal.
The other work around if you do not want to do this is go to YouMail and change your voicemail service to a visual voice mail.
I hope this is helpful. Again, this worked for me.
