After applying the patch, I get a text message like this:

//VVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=416;c=1;t=v;s=1#########;dt=22/01/2015 12:39 -0600;l=7

I dont see the icon on lock screen either.

T-Mobile USA.

Any idea why?

Update 1: Replaced my phone number with ########

Update 2: Actually, after a reboot, the VM icon shows up. I still get the SMS, but the icon also shows up.

Once I delete the VM, the icon gets removed correctly and I receive the following text message:

//VVM:SYNC:ev=MBU

Great Job!!! Thank you very much Zeta.

@abyzthomas patch does nothing with sms, and your sms problem is not relevant to patch

Sorry, I didn't mean that it is the patch that is doing that. Before the patch, I was not getting any notification when leaving a voicemail.

I had been using GoogleVoice as my voicemail because it can send a text message when someone leaves a VM.

Today, I enabled the patch and changed my forwarding setting to the T-Mobile VM number. When I left a test VM, I got the above text message right away, but no icon. After I posted the message, I thought maybe I will try rebooting.

After the reboot, I get the text messages in addition to the notification icon on lock screen. I left VM and deleted few times, and behavior was same. It successfully enables the icon and removes it when deleting the VM. Works Great!!!

I am so happy you guys have done this patch and thank you to you too coderus. This was a must have feature for a phone.

This text message is no problem for me, I can ignore it.

I posted the text messages just in case, it helps you guys to figure out something.

One suggestion I have is that if possible, move the icon below the network traffic/wifi icon. This allows it to be visible from anywhere on the peeking screen.

Hmmm... Just realized (from googling) //VMM stands for Visual Voice Mail. I probably have that on my account, though I have never used it. I will have T-Mobile disable it and test it.

Well then, the good news is, the patch works great in US T-Mobile network also.

On orange France, I got text message but no voice mail icon. Maybe my orange account is not well set up

Great news:

Thanks to coderus, r0kk3rz, kimmoli and other guys on IRC, I managed to create the patch for patch manager on github:
https://github.com/Sagittarii/sailfi...oicemail-patch

Compile it in OBS:
https://build.merproject.org/package...oicemail-patch

And upload it on openrepos:
https://openrepos.net/content/zeta/p...l-notification


So that you can now download it directly from warehouse and apply it with patch-manager !

I am updating the front page to have the link directly there.

Big thanks for all the people who helped me putting it together.

Did you restart lipstick after applying the patch ?
If not, then it is normal to not see anything.

Now you can apply it from patch-manager which have a pulley-menu to "restart services" after applying the patch that will ensure it is really used.

Otherwise, don't hesitate to ping me in #sailfishos or #JollaFr IRC, or here.

Zeta, big thanks for this patch!
I changed icon, looks better (I think at least ). Work perfectly with 012 Mobile and Orange (Israel).
Later I will create package for NON patchmanager users..

NOOO please don't do it again D:

Haaa, no problem , for you, what you want.
