Ok so when i first got my N1 i remember seeing GV on the market, it didn't come stock. I downloaded it and while doing the setup you can decide to use it as your voicemail or not, i decided not to use it. No problems, still got my voicemail normally.
So i flashed cyanogen 5.0.4.1 the other day and now i notice that whenever i get voicemail it comes through google voice, i don't like this because now i can't use the t-mobile visual voicemail app i have. When i check for voicemail on that app now i get nothing, they're only on GV.
I've gone to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Service and checked the bubble for "My Carrier" thinking that would work, well, it didn't. I checked if i could disable it in the GV settings too and there's no option for it.
I've even gone to the marketplace to try and uninstall it but the uninstall option is greyed out, im guessing because GV comes stock now and is not a removable app.
Can anyone shed some light on how i can either get my normal voicemail working again or get rid of GV altogether?
Much appreciated
tl;dr version: i dont want google voice being my default voicemail, tried to disable it, didnt work, cant uninstall it. I want to get the old normal notifications for voicemail. Help please
Sorry for the double post, figured it out.
In case anyone else is having this problem, go to:
Settings > Call Settings > Call Forwarding
and click disable for:
"Forward when busy"
"Forward when unanswered"
"Forward when unreachable".
For some reason they will all have your google voice number enabled and when you click disable on them individually they revert to your carrier's voicemail number.

Anyone having trouble with a voice mail icon that won't clear from the notifications bar. Its driving me nuts trying to get rid of it. I don't even use t-mobile voice mail
ya i just connected to it and let it do it's thing. it went away after that. i use google voice so i don't use tmobile either.
so dial the voicemail number connect and let it set up. that's all it will go away.
Call yourself and leave a voice mail and delete and it'll go away.
I also have this problem. My G2 is setup with Google Voice as the voicemail. I have called myself multiple times to leave a voicemail and then called the voicemail and deleted the message, but the icon remains. There is no option to clear this icon in the notification bar. I have also done some reboots, including removing the battery since HTC doesnt do a full power down with its fastboot feature.
Has anyone found a way to remove the icon other than calling and leaving yourself a message? Is anyone else still suffering from this annoyance?
Wow, 2 minutes after posting I found my solution. Here it is for others:
1. Go to call settings and change the voice mail service to carrier
2. Hold the 1 key to dial voicemail (this should go send you to the T-mobile system). Delete any messages if neccessary
3. Icon should disappear during this call
4. Change back to google voice for voicemail.
5. Continue using your awesome G2 while others use older, crappier phones.
I use youmail but when I set my phone up for the first time, it gave me the same problem too but youmail changed the carrier default number so I had to manually add it back before I could get the notification to go away.
Found this out after 2 factory resets
Gotta make sure your carrier voicemail number is tmobile's 1805637::::::: number (you can google it)
Then you can forward back to gvoice or whatever it is you use.
Again, MAKE SURE YOU DEFAULT CARRIER NUMBER IS FOR TMOBILES!!

its annoying.
i didnt change anything. just diaed 123 and listen to t-mobiles vm settings. hang up and its gone.
ya this was driving me crazy all day! under settings/call/voicemail service just change it to "my carrier" then call yourself leave a msg. then delete it and then you can go back to settings and set it back to google voice so you can have transcribed voicemails!

Yes, I had to figure this out the hard way myself. Change from google voice to standard voicemail... delete messages... change back.
I tried every suggestion in this thread but I still have the voicemail icon. Does anyone have any additional suggestions?
When I try to change my voicemail settings from GV to my carrier and leave myself a message, the notification comes from GV even though I already changed it to carrier settings. The problem persists after a reboot as well.
Got another phone? Pop in sim. Call voicemail. Or delete Google voice. Then call voicemail.

voicemail icon
once you go in and set up your t-mobile voicemail, the icon goes away, then you can change back to google voice if you like that better.
For some reason, I haven't been getting vm notifications, nor visual vm messages. I dialed in the old way and I had like 12 messages. I'm pretty stock, except for root and mobile AP.
Is there something wrong with my epic, or my account? Or is no a good time to figure out what Google Voice is all about?
Try google voice. You won't go back.

You have a problem with voicemail. You can call customer service and muck around with them or you can get google voice and be done with it. It could be the phone but most likely your account got borked and needs the voicemail portion reset (sometimes a full, erase everything reset). My gf went through the same thing. She jumped through hoops with customer service only to have it happen again later. I was trying to fix the phone one night and it was too late to call *2. I thought for a while and google voice was what I could come up with that would work.
if you in fact have the VVM app installed do this, works every time:
settings > applications > manage applications > menu > filter > all
scroll down to voicemail and tap it
clear cache/data (its only one, i forget which)
now open the voicemail app
menu > compose > record a second or 2 of blank and send to [email protected]
a few minutes you should get your voicemails. i've had it happen when flashing ROMs, yada yada, just horks it somehow
I tried the above fix, but not sure if it worked yet. Will prob go ahead and do GV. Not sure on the signup options. Seems like getting an actual GV number has the most options(as opposed to just the vm option). If you do the full number, you can still forward missed calls to it right?

yeah i actualy signed up but just hadnt pulled the trigger on it yet mostly out of laziness. my fix should work but it can take a little while, few hours even. then you'll see them all pop up, sometimes one or 2 you already deleted but hey.
Yea... it worked. I get vm and notification now. Also installed GV, but it's not taking over for vm. On the install it said auto configure not supported. I do not have a GV number.
How do I get GV to take vm?
..got it. Easier from the desktop. Must click the activate phone button...then instructions have you conditional call forward to gv access number (which is not really a gv number.
The voice mail notification is there but I have no voice mails. I have looked everywhere and cant find how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?
Guess I am alone on this I have deleted Google Voice, called my old voice mail number and made sure that there was nothing there, factory reset and wiped it. I have no clue how to clear this notification. This along with the left side of my touch screen being unresponsive might just have to take it back.
It's down to the carrier to clear it, not you.
Leave yourself a vm, then delete it... Bingo!

I had the same problem. Soon as I got my phone, the voicemail icon appeared.
If you're using Google Voice, this is how I fixed it:
Change voicemail from Google Voice to My Carrier.
Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Service
Stop Voicemail Forwarding:
Go to google.com/voice > Settings > Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone
(If you're with T-Mobile, it's: ##004#)
Then call your number and listen to your non-existing voicemail. Once you hung up, the notification should be gone.
You can change the setting back to normal (voicemail carrier and voicemail Forwarding).
To re-activate voicemail forwarding (for T-Mobile):
*004*1----------#
Replace dashes with your 10-digit Google Voice number.
Hope that helps.

I had this issues when I got my Nexus S, I had AT&T, Google Voice, then ported my number to T-Mobile. I had a Voicemail from 805 number (T-Mobile), took a while to properly port over. I tried all kinds of things, then after my AT&T SIM finally disabled, I turned off GV, called my own, left a voicemail, checked the voicemail and it fixed itself. Now back to GV for voicemails.
Thank you for all the suggestions I didnt get to read this till after I got home from work. I ended up taking my phone back and got a replacement. As soon as I popped my sim in the voicemail notification popped up. Same problem as before so I drove home. I called T-Mobile and switched to the new sim card that came with the phone. Called my voice mail hung up the notification is gone. So somehow my sim card was causing the error.
Google voice got stuck at reading settings.. Now everytime someone tries to call me it says the number has been disconnected. WTF?!?! I can delete the app but it still does it.. Anyone know how to fix this?
Have you tried going into your voicemail settings to see what's there? It is under the call settings in the settings menu. I have two options...my carrier (VZW) or Google Voice. Maybe try switching to My carrier and then back to GV?
Good luck!
All of a sudden a few days ago, Google Voice no longer gets my voicemails. TMobile voicemail (non-visual voicemail) is now my voicemail... I checked settings and it still shows Google Voice. Any ideas? Thanks.

Go to your phone's settings. Go to voicemail settings. Even though it reads GV in the settings, switch to tmobile or carrier. Once that is completed, immediately switch back to GV and a prompt will come up reflecting the change.
To test, go try to access your VM by longpressing 1 on your phone. If GV picks up, you should be good to go.
Worked! THANK YOU!
