No, I DON'T have a voicemail!

I got my HD2 about a week ago, and from the moment I turned it on it's been telling me that I have 1 voicemail waiting. Except that I don't. I've checked my box multiple times just to be certain, nothing in there. I've tried dismissing the notice, it comes back. It constantly displays "1" in the lock screen. I've even flashed a custom ROM (Energy 23569, Jun 8) and it STILL says 1 voicemail waiting! How do I get rid of this phantom voicemail and have it report accurately?

I had that same problem for a while. I just fixed itself after I flashed to a certain energy rom.

I was having the same problem with mine. It was showing that I had a new voicemail from the moment I bought it. I just called T-Mobile and asked them to reset my voicemail box. The girl was very nice and when she tried to explain to me about the new HD2 update they had released, I hinted that I didn't have the stock ROM on my phone and she explained that was totally no problem. They know that with the current technology that people are doing that. She reset my voicemail box and the notification went away. You will have to setup your voicemail again after they reset it, but that takes no time at all.

same this is so annoying! any fixes will be much appreciated.
**** I just found this, might help. I have not tried it yet.

I had the same problem when I got mine. To fix it, all I did was go to the T-Mobile store and ask them for a new SIM card, they did a quick switch and it was gone, but im sure a custom ROM works too

Incredible doesn't detect 3G

Hey all,
I got the July 27 leaked Froyo and went ahead and rooted to 2.2.
I have noticed a pretty serious buggy issue regarding the phone not detecting a 3G network so when I'm away from my wireless router, it only shows bars, no 1X or 3G.
I have two options at this point, one of which has done me no good. Perhaps someone can help me.
Option 1: Downgrade back to Android 2.1. (More on this later)
Option 2: Try and find a way to keep this version and get back on 3G.
Lemme explain: I tried placing the PB31IMG.zip on the SD card and going through recovery to return the phone to stock. Each time I attempted this, it told me the version was old and it failed. Is there a workaround on this or do I need to find a different stock ROM?
I used unrEVOked to root the phone and have not been trying to do any frivolous additions or subtractions. I just wanna be back on my 3G. Any and all help would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you try *228 and update your PRL?

Yes. It did not help.
Always have 3G coverage where I'm at too. So more than likely phone is issue unless a tower around here is down (which I highly doubt).

Toggle Airplane Mode on, then off.

Sadly, toggling airplane mode has done nothing to help either.

Upgrade to the 8/1 version...see if that helps.
JC

Try shutting the phone off, then powering back on. Or possibly that combined with an airplane mode toggle. Also make sure your mobile network is on in the settings for wireless networks. This problem was common with the first leak. I have not had it happen since switching to the second leak of 2.2.

Considering the missing apps and media in the 8/1 Leak would it be ok to do Sky Raider or should I just try the 8/1 Leak done by aiccucs?

I believe mrozzeh also gave a link to the full version of the 8/1 leak, if you are concerned about missing apps/media...

Doing that update has not helped me.
I guess I'll have to go down to 2.1 again. However, as I said, it won't load the PB31IMG.zip. It says the file is old. Any ideas?

Stupid question....you did upgrade the radio right?

Yes. Radio is the 2.x baseband.
I would be VERY finicky to update that again as I do NOT want to brick my phone.

Ok, it seems I have found a bit of the issue that is causing it. My phone number and IMSI are not detected as my current phone number. Is there a way to program this or is it an issue where I'll have to have it reprogrammed by the local Verizon rep?

try a *228 and option 1 so the phone is reprogrammed. then do a test call to your vm(*86) and make sure it connects, you should not see the 3G symbol, when you end the call, the 3G should be displayed...give it a whirl

This did not work. There has to be a way to program the phone number into the phone. Any ideas?

i've been having this same issue... messing with airplane mode and rebooting a few times got it to fix... *228 and option 2 worked sometimes. just loaded up Adryns new evo hybrid rom, working fine so far (the problem was rare, maybe twice a day tops) and did *228 1, we shall see!

To no avail on these. I think I'm going to have to see a rep tomorrow and see if we can get the phone number (my actual phone number) programmed back into the phone. I think that's a VZW thing as I'm sure they won't run me through the methods to program a phone number.
I hate that I have to go back to Big Red over this, but it is important for me to have this phone up and running. Besides internet, I have NO other form of contact.

3g issue
I had the same problem and so have many others, I flashed Skyraider Rom and problem is gone so we know its not a buggy radio, I don't think there is a fix right now, but I've never seen a Rom so stable as the new Skyraider, so you might wanna think about flashing that Rom.

Coincidence. I've heard the same with my roms, from both ends of the spectrum. Its for sure a buggy radio, and how it interacts with Froyo. Once we get a 100% Froyo ready radio, I doubt we will ever hear about the issue again.

This is the first I've heard of someone not being able to get the 3G connection back at all. Is that what you are describing? I had it not turn on, then come back after a *228/2 or power cycle - but it always came back on. Just curious but are you on an Alltel plan by chance?
Can you make calls Contra? Did you pay your phone bill?? Are you wiping all data before flashing? Try the full second leak that they added to that post. I've been using it and haven't had the 3G drop in two days now. I just took that rom and removed a handful of apps I would never use. It's working quite well.

***EPIC - NEED HELP TXT MESSAGING, BLUETOOTH, QIK for EB13 *PLEASE!

OK I need help and serious input since these are the things I use the most. I will give you a little history also. On 0:00 Tuesday 02/22/2011 I downloaded samsung update for EB13. I flashed the phone, and everything went well even the one-click-root-2.5.5. So with my issues appearing I researched and seen many others had issues not like mine. I called Sprint they had me do a hard reset on my phone. Still the issues are a not real bad but I had having to restart my phone 6 or 7 times a day. I even went to the store and the rep said there were no so called "quote issues with the EPIC cause he has one". I need my phone re-flash. I told him I did that. He said have a hard reset done to it. I did it the day after the I flashed it. I told him I still have issues and no one has been able to help me. He said take the phone back and get a new one then. His name is Mike at the Sprint Store on Oleander Dr Wilmington, NC. Lots of help Mike. Just admit the software is sh*t like the phone reps did on the phone. Re-flashing and a hard reset is something I already did, and removed alot of useless app, from the guide on switch apps to remove. So PLEASE someone come up with some mods or ideas to help me. PLEASE. I got no clue on this.
1. Txt messaging. After an hour of non use when trying to send a txt. The txt hangs. I tried de-activating and a signal refresh. Dont work. Only fix is re-start the phone, and re-send the txt.
2. Bluetooth. After non use for an hr Bluetooth says it is still connected. When calls comes in however it is not connected. I have to manual connect, or if no call, I have to do a signal refresh. Not even turning off bluetooth works. The Sprint rep says it is the only work around they have and know about it.
3. QIK. Ok Qik on 2.1 used do a portrait on the front camera. Now it records only as landscape, but shows as portrait. I spoke to Sprint about this also and they said it some I am going to have to deal with. I drive alot to job to job, so I dont have alot of time to play with settings.

bluetooth problems?
i have flashed the eb13 froyo onto my epic with the eb13 supernova,genocide .3a kernal and everything seems to be almost perfect except i still can not give voice commands over my bluetooth ....it will activate, say speak now and then it will disconnect before i can even give a command...if there is a fix for this please let me know...thanks

Txt messenging found
I found the same issue and a fix for it other than reboot. This was found back in July on another phone and carrier but with Android 2.2 Froyo. So this issue is with the OS its self.
A. Settings menu
B. Applications menu
C. Manage Applications
D. Messaging app
E. Force Close button

Re: Android 2.2 text message problem
Fixed it!!! In case anyone else out there is having the same problem, the way I fixed it was by going to the Settings menu from the home screen, then to the Applications menu, then to Manage Applications, then to the Running tab, then to the Messaging app with the icon that Andriod uses for the text function. Then I clicked on the Force Close button. Now it sends text message with no problem. Go figure.

Back up your data with MyBackup Root, use Odin to restore full, clean EB13, then use the Market or AppBrain to reinstall your apps, and your backup to restore only the data for those specific apps. That will solve almost all problems related to the OTA update, including yours, OP.

But he used the .exe...
I think he mightve removed something by accident...was the "apps safe to remove" thread updated for EB13?

Thanks everyone for replying with some needed input and issues of your own. I do think I can live with the messaging app since I found a temp fix for it(force close). I also believe I can live with Qik recording in landscape, even though it was not designed that way for the front camera. However I cannot live the issue of Bluetooth. I need as I will never put a touch screen phone to my ear or listen to it on speaker, like some of these dumb a$$ doing this walking around in public. I drive from job to job and it is very difficult for me to play with setting while driving. NC is becoming a handsfree cell phone state like so many others, and there is no txting while driving at all. It is a dangerous thing to do. I have read older posts from other phone that received 2.2 much earlier in the year and I believe that is OS is $hit. However 2.1 does not have Bluetooth activated command dialing.
*So for you people that are catching up, I did install from the exe and seemed to work fine and even after I rooted with a clockworkmod 2.5.1 recovery. I even did a hard reset with Sprint. I did not removed any important applications as mobile hotspot is this there. I have not upgraded to any new kernel, or rom. These issues are minor, but a major inconvenience. Bluetooth will work for awhile, but then with a call comes in after a hr of rebooting I have to connect manually after it has been paired. ""Sprint said that this was a issue known in the OS, but I am wondering if anyone has found a kernel or mod to correct this issue?""

Why not back it up and then go into cwm and clear the cache/DCache and then run the .exe without removing ANYTHING and see if your problems persist?
If they don't, then take out an .apk one at a time until you find the one that breaks your functions...

[Q] Anyone else having trouble getting VVM setup for the 1st time?

I'm having trouble setting up tmobile VVM (visual voicemail ) for the after flashing a rom. I've done this many times but since last night it wont get pass the 1st screen and errors out sometimes. I don't know if tmobile is down for that service or its just me. tried clearing data even flashed rom again (RG 3.0 ) and tried VU 2.35 with same results. also I still havent found anything that will make tmobile VVM app come out in market place with these roms.

Changed phone number, Visual Voicemail no longer works

Sorry for the long story, but I'm trying to accurately describe the scenario. Sprint basically told me I'm SOL:
I'm running Synergy RLS1 (non-Godmode) when I went in to get my phone number changed to a local area code. The Sprint guy did all of his fun stuff, but when he went to do "Update Profile", it wouldn't run correctly. He said that he had seen the same issue with other Roms, but that the easy thing to do was to flash the stock, Update Profile, and then re-flash Synergy.
Did that, got the number changed, Synergy set up again via Titanium, and all was good. But, I noticed that I would not get any notifications (or anything at all for that matter) in Visual Voicemail. I can hold down 1 and do my voicemail the old fashioned way. The biggest issue is that I don't get any prompting at all that a voicemail is on the server.
I called Sprint Tech Support, and they told me to go to a Repair Center. So, like a good boy scout, I was prepared!! I un-rooted and re-installed stock Gingerbread and recovery. Sprint kept it overnight, and this morning they gave it back to me and said that since I had previously rooted the phone, they couldn't help me anymore. Furthermore, when they gave it back to me, it had Synergy loaded with my custom lock-rings and all. (I guess for some reason they restored a Nandroid from my SD).
That's the back story. Here is where I am right now... Stock Gingerbread Rom and Stock recovery. Nothing added to the phone except Netflix. Voicemail acts the same way as it did above: (no notifications when voicemails come in, and nothing in Visual Voicemail. But, holding 1 works) Any ideas on how to get this fixed? I have already tried re-installing the apk. I have sent a black 1 second message to [email protected] many times. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
(again, sorry for the long post. Just trying to be thurough)

Have you ever used youmail or google voice? Perhaps its forwarding somewhere else? try dialing *38 and see if it starts working.

Find the getting vvm to work on cm7 thread. There is a zip there that flashed to ur phone gets vvm to work. I tried titanium backup and other methods in last but zip is all that ever worked for me.

Hate when people pop in, ask a question and you never find out if the problem was solved...
