I have just got my new toy but have a problem!! When somebody leaves a voicemail I do not get the voicemail icon appear at the top of the screen (or a flashing light, or anything!!!)
Do others on T-Mob UK get the voicemail icon??
I'm on Orange and i'm finding the same: no notifications at all of Voicemails.
I tried the Pocket Alarm today screen plugin too, and that didn't update.
any ideas?
thanks
no icon but there's a notification message bottom left of screen. that's with T-mobile UK.
Try this..

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!

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.
Hi Folks,
Has anybody else has a problem with 'ghost' voicemail icon in the Status Bar (the icon showing when there are no new Voicemail Messages). It only happens occasionally, mainly after SMS or emails are received.
Also, this may seem like a silly question - How do you turn the alarm off!?! I press the 'drop call' in the bottom right which stops the noise, but the icon still sits in the status bar!
Thanks in Advance!
Are you using your phone on Orange UK? I ask this because I am, and a couple of my Orange phones in the past have had this "problem". In every case, I have been able to get rid off this by calling Orange Customer Service on 150, then going through the myriad of voice menus to actually speak to someone concerning a Voice Mail problems, they can "refresh the voicemail settings" on their systems. This usually solves the problem. Hope it helps for you.
(Obviously if you're NOT with Orange UK, whoever your service provider is should be able to assist you in a similar way. Years ago when I was with Cellnet (that gives you a clue how long ago it was!) and Vodafone, they didn't use the voicemail icon, they used to just send you a text - I don't know if this is still the case or not.
Solution
I've just got this problem tonight. I couldnt get rid of the voicemail icon or that i had a voice message. what i did to get rid of it was phoned my phone from another and left a message. called voicemail, listened to message and deleted. the icon has now dissapeared.
Thanks to both of you for the solutions - I found frustin's to be the quickest option and save my time asking the Orange Call Centre to help. Annoying problem though!
My blackstone won't display the tape-spool icon at the top of the screen when I have a voicemail waiting for me any more.
With a Tmobile sim it worked fine, now with an O2 sim it doesn't.
With O2 when a voicemail is left, on the TF3D home tab I get the extra 'call voicemail' button, just no indicator on the main start bar at the top.
Any ideas?
this is a setting within O2 system. You have to dial your voicemail and request how you would like to be notified of a voicemail
the options (IIRC) are
1) text message
2) call
3) icon
Ta TP, just found that setting. We'll see what happens.
Hi all, anyone else with a UK Desire Z having voice mail icon trouble? Mine wont show up and I get no voicemail notification either...running Launcher Pro.
Good question. I hadn't thought about it. What's meant to show up for that on Android ?
I get a text message saying I've got a voicemail, but no specific extra icon.
I get a voicemail alert icon on top, and when I drag down there's a notification about a voicemail -- tap on that and it calls my voicemail number.
(I was hoping there was a widget icon that would show number of waiting voicemails, but no...)
I wonder if this is carrier-specific, e.g. that the carrier has to send out the correct message to the phone to tell it there's a voicemail ?
Thinking about how this worked on my previous WinMo phone (using the same carrier, Vodafone UK), it was the same - i.e. on that and my DZ I get a text tell me I've got a new voicemail, but on neither phone do I get an actual voicemail icon popping up.
Could be -- the specific text I see in my notification is "New voicemail(1)" (with the number reflecting the nuimber of waiting voicemails)
After unlocking the phone and switching networks, I no longer get the voicemail notice on my Today screen. I still get a text saying I have voicemail, and even the speech bubble icon, but the Today menu item which took me directly to voicemail no longer comes up. Is there a way of configuring this?
Cheers
