Voice Mail Icon-how to remove

Since i received a voice mail last night, there is voice mail icon always showing on the top bar of today, when i click it , it will go to dial voice mail box number, but i don't have voice mail service, i can not delete voice mail and the icon don't want to go, and every time reset, it will remind me has voice mail. it is really bothered me, i tried change sim card, but useless, any suggestion?

Hi mate,
I have that problems sometimes.
What you need to do is listen to the full voicemail that you have recieved and then either save or delete the voice message. THe problem is that the service provider still thinks that you havnt heard the whole voicemail as you may have disconnected from the voicemail server early.
If this does not help you may need to play with the registry on the phone but that is a subject i cannot help you with.

thanks, i did it another way, i go registry, HKCU/System/state/messegs/vmail/line1/unread, i cleared count value to 0, then the icon is dispeared, then i cleared HKCU/System/state/messegs/vmail/total/unread change the count to 0 also. i have a question is in HKCU/System/state/messegs/vmail, there is a text value, the string is the title of the voice mail i received, i don't know i should delete it or what? what i did now is just let the string be blank. i don't know if it is correct.

Nice on the registry. i was just about frustrated when i found your post.
Thanks

voicenail fix... kind of
Here's my solution for this problem:
1. call your own phone.
2. leave a quick message.
3. wait for the new vm indication.
4. check messages.
5. delete your own message and it will remove the notification icon and change the softkey back.

you are welcome.

Here is why the voicemail icon sometimes gets stuck on:
It's a text message (specifically, a class 0 SMS) which is sent by your provider to tell your device to enable or disable the voicemail notification.
From time to time you'll be listening to your voicemail and you'll hang up at around the same time as your handset receives the SMS and the Universal will be busy doing whatever it does that takes so long when it hangs up and will, for reasons unknown to me, ignore the SMS to disable the VM notification.
The solution to this, as noted by a previous comment, is to leave yourself a voicemail message then call your voicemail and delete the message. Before hanging up, wait a few seconds and you'll see the message come in and remove the notification icon.

Stupid Voicemail indicator

Anyone able to help me out on this one?
I got a voice mail message the other day. Listened to it the next day and then deleted it.
The voicemail indicator (you know the one that looks like a tape symbol) is still in the bar at the top and i still have 'notification' on the bottom left soft key.
I do not have any voicemail messages and i have rebooted (soft) the phone. Cant get rid of the damn thing - getting anoying now...
Any help appreciated.

Simply call your voicemail, listen to a message, delete a message. pause (play around in voicemail for a few moments) then hang up. If you have no voicemail messages to delete, call yourself and leave yourself a message. I have/do get that problem from time to time. It appears voicemail only communicates with the phone as a one shot basis only - T-Mobile really needs to address that issue.
Hope that helps,
Best regards,
Brad

Yeah - thanks for that. Sorted out my problem. Took a couple of attempts, but its gone now

No voicemail message notification!!!

Today I dialled my voicemail to check for messages as it seemed odd to me that I had none in the 3 weeks i've had the phone?!
I found 11 messages sitting there waiting to be listened to, some of which were very important!!!
Where is the voicemail notificaiton?? Is this just my phone??

Go into Sound & display in manilla. Click on Notification sounds & then select Voicemail on (this is disabled by default). Then go into All Settings > Sounds & notifications > Notifications in Winmo & select a sound for Voicemail. Hope this helps.

Yeah that is on and only gives a one off sound but what about an icon on the task bar??? If I dont here the sound then I have no idea that I have a voicemail!! lol

I get a missed call icon on mine & also have set up with Vodafone to receive a text message. I am using Brians Taskbar. Are you using the stock taskbar?

Missed call icon doesnt tell you there is a voicemail though does it?
I'm using Brians too but only as of today, so I get nothing on that or on the stock taskbar.

Just checked and I too had voicemails waiting, where is the symbol on the taskbar?!

Yeah exactly!! Yet another bloody 'bug' for us poor HD2 users lol

Not quite the same as a taskbar icon... but in all settings > sounds and notification, there's a "display message on screen" option for voicemail

I don't know if the notification system for orange and vodefone is the same as o2, but when i call my o2 voicemail there is a setting for notification types. ONe to send you text, one to call you back and the last one is to send a voicemail notification to the phone.
The last option is what enables the voicemail icon in the taskbar.

I can get the notification with the LED but it keeps blinking after listening to the voicemail (when the message has been leaved with the HD2 turned off only). That's really annoying.

It's better than nothing if it stays on the screen until you close it or listen to the message?!

No idea, haven't tried it but I assume it stays on until you dismiss it.

Same problem here with the standard taskbar.Taskbar Icon is missing. Im getting stupid texts such as >@ or [email protected] I wondered what they meant untill I check my voicemail and found 2 messages.

LED Notification
Mate this is a feature!
How did you get it to work without realising?

Sorry i haven't understood.

does anyone have a solution to this?
ive been using my HD2 for about a week now and never realized this either (Im on Rogers network in Canada)
I just did a test by leaving a voicemail:
I get a missed call notification
a SMS about the voicemail
but NO VOICEMAIL icon! (usually looksl like the little tape)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've been into the "Sounds and notifications" menu and checked "Phone: Voicemail" and checked off "Display message on screen"
but still no icon on the taskbar?
Anyone know?

I've not found anything yet mate
At least you get a SMS notification!

I've just read through these and I'm thinking you are after the same thing I am. But just to be sure, I'm going to reword what you are looking for. Because what I am looking for (since I also get the missed call, and the voicemail text) is the option to simply tap the voicemail icon and have it dial into my voicemail automatically like I used to be able to do with my htc tytnII. For now I have to go to my phone screen and press and hold one, which I find a pain as some times I don't have time to check my messages right that moment, but I hate turning off the phone with the missed call and voicemail text still there, so I get rid of those, and then forget to check voicemail later. Are you guys talking about the same thing? And has anyone yet found a solution if so?

No that is not it!
We do not get a Voicemail icon so do not know that we have a voicemail!!

[Q/SOLVED/G2] Voicemail status problem

Ok i've noticed that ever since i turned the phone on the (new voicemail) notification is on in the status bar. when i click on it it dials the voicemail but i have nothing in my inbox. The notification continues to stay in the status bar and i have done multiple resets already. any ideas guys?

I think it has something to do with visual voicemail. I know the problems is also on the HD2. Do you ever get text messages that have "129" on them?

Hmm i dont think i ever had a text like that. but i sent myself a voicemessage just to see if that would clear it up but instead i got a email, the visual voice mail notification, AND the regular "dial voice mail" notification and the "dial voice mail" is the one thats been stuck there.

Stock Voicemail notification showing up all of a sudden even though I use Youmail

I've had my DX since last June and have always used Youmail for voice mail. Whenever I received a voice message, I'd get the YouMail notification.
For the last few days, I've been receiving a notification from the stock voicemail app saying I have unread messages, which I don't.
Anyone aware of this bug?
I should add that I'm using ADW.Launcher on top of MotoBlur.

Have you tried actually checking your VZW voicemail? If someone were to "reply" to your voicemail without actually calling you, you could get a VZW voicemail.

I would also recommend going in and making sure that there are no new voicemails in there

Judging by the thanks you gave me... i assume you got it?? lol
