A couple weeks ago I updated my HTC One M8 to Android 6 Marshmallow. This afternoon I received a voicemail, and when I opened the Visual Voicemail app, it sat there for a while with a white screen, then popped a message saying "Messages isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" If I tell it to wait, it just sits there forever and nothing happens. If I locate the VVM app in the Google Play Store (Verizon Visual Voice Mail - Android Apps on Google Play) on my computer, it says it is not compatible with my device (it worked just fine before the Marshmallow update). Will this ever be compatible? I currently pay the $2.99/month for Basic VVM, and am currently considering ditching it. I much prefer VVM, and am happy to pay for it, but if it is not going to work with my phone, what is the point?

Prior to the update everything worked fine, and actually "after" the update it worked fine as well. On my phone I have the 'Messages' app (shows you text and voicemail messages), I see the Verizon Messages+ app (text only?) which I have never used (both c...

Kkavanagh16 We certainly want you to have a working phone you can depend on. Can you tell me if the phone worked fine before the update? What text app are you using? Have you added any new apps?DeloresK_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupportIf my response answered your question please click the �Correct Answer� button under my response.

I have the same problem. HTC One M9 running marshmallow. It was working fine the just stopped. I can see the Visual Voicemail service is running but the icon is completely gone. I've unsubscribed and resubscribed to visual voicemail but it didn't help. Reinstalling the app would probably fix it but the version the app store is different from the built in version and doesn't work. I'm about to wipe the device and start over. If it doesn't work I'll cancel the service. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got the same issue. Marshmallow update was a few weeks ago and everything was fine. This afternoon suddenly my ringer is turned to silent, had to go back in an find whichever ringtone it is that I usually use and reset it, and whenever I choose VM I immediately get this error message. I have restarted my phone several times, and it happens both while on wifi and Verizon 4G. HELP.

I can't live without my visual voicemail Borg561. Let's make sure you don't have to. The next step will be to check provisioning on your account. I have sent you a Private Message so we can begin.

There were no other changes besides the update to Android 6 Marshmallow. As mentioned, the Google Play store does show that it is incompatible with my device, so I guess expected behavior, even though it worked before the update. Looks like the version currently installed on my phone is 3.5.669440.

We want to ensure everything is functioning properly and definitely understand your concern here. Were there any other changes made to the device aside from the software update before this started occurring?KleoL_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupportIf my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

The only app that I downloaded was Chomp, which I have already deleted. Those other apps/programs (Verizon and HTC?) came pre-installed on the phone. Messages and Voicemail do not appear in Google Play, and cannot be updated or uninstalled. I attempted to uninstall the Verizon Messages +, but Verizon put it there, and it refuses to be deleted.
