I know there is a standard feature in the wizard where when a new voicemail comes in, it does a popup notification saying you have 1 new voicemails, etc.
I also know that when you click "dismiss" the popup notification is hidden, but no new popup notifications can come in until you actually listen to the voicemail.
Since I don't like to listen to my voicemail, is there a way to change the behavior so that it "clears" the popup notification and I can get to my other popup notifications?
I too HATE this problem. I have not yet searched the forums for a resolution, but I will see what I can find.
BTW: I had forgot about that problem (must have just been ignoring it) until you brought it up again! :x
Later; Lew
As far as I have been able to determine, there is no way to make it go away. However, new notifications do come in (but do not pop-up automatically). You can access the new notifications by clicking the notification balloon on the top of the screen. I use this quite often to get to the missed call notification without checking my voicemail first.
i too am having this problem and was wondering if there was a fix for it, it is quite disturbingly annoying.
Sometimes i get a slew of notifications and since i cant see them all since i am at wrk and i get time to see them usually voice mail is the "TOP" one and will not dissapear until i LISTEN to it, EXTREMLY annoying.
Does anyone have any fix/work around?

Hi... I wanted to bump this message because I have the same problem and I was hoping there was an easy answer.... i figure its an easy fix.... but man its annoying getting that voicemail txt msg and you tap on dismiss and its still there...
thanks in advance..
I just posted an ongoing email thread with Cingular/HTC support for the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) about the exact same issue. Included in the emails is a verification that this is also a confirmed bug on the Cingular 8125 (Wizard). I am going to stay on their asses about the 8525, and post any replies I get. Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865

Hi guys.
I seem to be having SMS notification problems. Upon receiving a SMS I get the notification fine, but when I dismiss it it does not go away unless I dismiss it a second time.
This is very annoying and hopefully not a "feature" of WM5 notifications.
Furthermore it does not seem possible to dismiss the voicemail notification AT ALL...
Reg fix anyone?
Thanks for any help!

I can't say you are the only one, but for certain, I do not have that problem. As for voicemail, once it is listened to, the vmail indicator/notification should go away.
Damn so then its a problem with :
a) Software I have installed
b) extended rom cab i have not installed
c) the planet alignment...
As for the voicemail yeah listening to it makes the notification go away, but surely "dismiss" should make it dismiss without needing to actually hear the voicemail ?
Anyone have any ideas ? I can post exactly what roms/software I have installed if it helps...
Cheers!
The "sms" that you have received is not a normal sms notifcation from the voicemail.
I think your voicemail has an extra option for notification, it's called "icon notification" in a normal phone you will see an enveloppe which tells you there are new voicemail messages. this enveloppe can only be deleted by listening to all new messages, after you've done that the voicemail will send a notification to your phone to turn the icon off.
BUT windows mobile 5 cannot handle the icon notification which means the icon will not be removed if you listen to your voicemail messages. while you're listening to your new voicemail messages you will notice that you will receive an empty sms (this is the notification for the phone to turn the icon off) unfortunately the phone does not understand the notification to turn the notification off, so as far as I know there's no way to get rid of the message.
I solved it by turning off the icon notification option in the voicemail, then did a hardreset and but my backup back.
I hope you understand what the option icon notification, otherwise just ask!

Hey all,
So I did a search for this and didn't find it, but if I am stupid and just missed it, I appologize in advance.
When I get a voicemail, the notification pops up and I hit dismiss. The notification still stays on the 'desktop' and I can't get to the notiifcation of the missed call.
Is there anyway to actually dismiss the notification of voicemails and reverse the order so that missed calls notification comes up (so that I know who left the possible voicemail)?
Thank you for your help.
-ChiefJustice
you need to tap on the voicemail icon at the tome bar (on the right next to start menu) - this will bring up an extended menubar which you can then tap on the missed calls icon.
or press call button to goto the phone, use the menu opton to view call history.
Yeah, I know of that meathod, but is there anyway to make it the missed call the first default notification?
And also, is there anyway to truly dismiss the notification but let the voicemail notificatin stay up top? On a normal phone, it says you have a voicemail and it lets you use your phone normally after that, not insisting on you checking the voicemail.
Thanks for all your help.
I second the issue!
This is especially severe when one is in Europe and has no intention of checking voicemail until returning to the states (or vice versa, I suppose). I have several times checked voicemail from overseas just to get rid of the notification.
Apparently, the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) has the same issue. I've opened an official ticket with Cingular/HTC and will be posting the replies. I guess this is a WM5 issue, since WM6 fixes the bug. But since there's not official upgrade that fixes the bug, I will stay on their asses until they do. However, since I don't have a Cingular 8125 (Wizard), I can't pursue a fix for that model. Who knows, maybe a patch will fix both models. Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865
I have to wade through so many notification messages every time I switch on my phone, its so annoying and there's no apparant way to stop them. Right infront of me, we have email notifications, sms notifications, alarm notifications, calendar notifications, and a battery warning notification! arrggh!! I can't access the calendar hardware button without clearing all these notifications first.
So, into 'sound and notification' settings and disable them right?
Wrong. It doesn't seem to make any difference. I've gone through each event such as 'Messaging: New email message', and 'Messaging: New text message', etc, and taken the tick out of 'display message on screen' but still I can't access the hardware button on the today screen without clearing the notifications first.
The search criteria required for answers to this problem online is too vague, you just hit on other subjects regarding notifications that are nothing to do with this. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
Thanks.

Which ROM are you running?
RE: annoying notifications
I couldnt agree more!
This happens with every ROM i have used including 2003, wm5 and now wm6 black 3.5.
The one I really want to get rid of is the battery low notifications.
Jees, it drives me mad.
Surely just altering a reg key?? I did a search in there but wasnt sure exactly where to look!
Hi, I'm having the same issue. I want to get rid of the missed call notification messages that pop up all the time. The missed call icon is enough, I don't need the message as well! It's very frustrating.
it's the notification queue
..and it's a known issue. hard reset will definitely cure it, or you could use scarybear's "check notifications" or similar to clear it.
I really hate the low battery warning icon nagging me when 40% of battery is still left!! help !
I have searched for awhile on the forum and came up with nothing so here goes.
I constantly get an Orange Cingular icon in the top status bar with the a 'Notification'. The problem is that I have my 8525 set to notify if I get an email and it changes the Led to blink orange. But I get these Cingular notifications all the time and although I never get a message for it.. it just shows the word 'Notification'. When I click 'Notification', the icon goes away and that is it. No text messages or any other messages. It is just annoying and wonder if I have set something (or didn't set something) that makes this icon come up.
Thanks.
Wow, 74 views and no one has any ideas?
Does this mean that none of you Cingular users get a Cingular icon at the top of your screen on an hourly-daily basis that shows up as a notification? Maybe it is just me?
Notification
The only Notification I get is when I receive an email, voice message or missed call. The Notification is at the bottom left of my screen and is accessible witht he left softkey or touch screen.
i have never gotten anything like that... through my 8125 or 8525
Very odd. Have you tried clearing your notifications queue with the likes of Sktools, Memmaid or Scarybear? Though I'm not clear exactly what kind of notification this is!
Mike
He's talking about using Xpress Mail.... it pops up an ugly cingular thing on the top bar. I don't like it either.
Yes, he is referring to Xpressmail, which pops up a very nasty jagged-looking Cingular notification when a new email has arrived.
I found that Xpressmail doesn't really add any functionality to the phone anyway. You can set up any pop/smtp email account already in the phone, and if you leave the app running it will send/receive on a more reliable basis than Xpressmail does.
I understand the idea of Xpressmail -- waking up the phone if you have a new email -- but it just didn't seem to work for me at all. And yes, I really hated that ugly notification icon. I uninstalled it happily.
Bummer
Yeah, so far XpressMail is the only one that can get my work email. I have my Outlook set up on my laptop and XpressMail grabs it. I can't set it up through pop/smtp because it goes through the work Outlook server and requires authentication. I guess if I want my mail, I have to learn to live with it. At least until they set me up with the push from the outlook server. Though that won't happen this year at least due to IT restraints.
Oh well.
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!!
