ANNOYING!!! Voicemail notification won't go away!

Hello everyone,
Last week I upgraded to the hacked 2.17 ROM cooked by summiter for the Cingular 8125 and now I have a voicemail icon on the top and the left soft-button showing "notification" and neither won't go away even-though I have no voicemail. I soft-reset the device and unchecked the option in sounds and notifications but nothing seems to work.
HELP!

You are not alone and this seems to have nothing to do with summiters rom. Many cingular customers complained of this and cingular seems to be aware of the problem. When this happens to me, I call my number and leave a short message (or wait for someone else to leave one). Then I listen to the message waiting for the prompt to delete. I delete the message and then wait for the prompt to disconnect. I disconnect pressing the * button. Then the notification goes away-for me, at least. This problem has come and gone in the last couple of weeks but seems to be gone now for awhile.

It's happening with T-Mobile as well, so it must be something to do with the Wizard. After spending nearly 5 weeks on the problem with them doing everything from sending me a new phone to resetting my voicemail, over and over again, a lowly level 1 customer service rep asked if I had replaced the SIM card. I said I had not and that it hadn't been suggested. Anyway that did it.
Even the engineers couldn't figure it out. :roll:

Not just the wizard
This also happened, to both my wife's RAZR and my Treo, periodically. T-Mobile would feign ignorance, but others in the community with T-Mobile had the same problem.
Usually leaving yourself a message and then deleting it would fix the problem. I haven't yet encountered it with the MDA but in my experience it is a matter of time.
I find the inability to dismiss a notification annoying; sometimes I don't want to listen to a voicemail right away, or can't because I don't have a signal, but the notification keeps popping up until I do.

I had this happen to me earlier this week, but the problem eventually went away by itself. Since swapping SIMs seemed to work, it made me think:
Any of you using PPC Profiles Pro? A few times I've swapped profiles and gotten a "SIM 1 error" warning, so maybe that's connected?
Incidentally, I also had an issue where the power button would clear the screen but wouldn't turn the device off while I was in a particular profile, so I had to delete that profile...

This has happened on my Samsung phone with AT&T Wireless, the same phone with Cingular, my Razr with Cingular and my 8125 with Cingular.
The problem has nothing to do entirely with the Wizard, and I was told by an engineer that it could be an intrinsic fault in GSM systems.

Sim Cards not being detected

Help please anyone.
Earlier today my phone lost service...i wasn't too bothered as I was home and the wifi is still working well.
I thought there was no orange service! Turns out my sim card isn't being detected (nor is any other one i've tried)
I did drop my phone early...but it's in a hard back case and it landed on its front and this has never occurred before.
What to do? Will a repair cost a bomb?

check ur IMEI and baseband...
i gues they'll be unknown

yep unknown?

This just happened to me just few minutes ago. Try turning off your phone, remove battery and SIM. Re-insert battery and turn on without SIM. If your radio service is restored, turn off and turn on with SIM this time.
This seems to happen to me whenever I try to calibrate my battery using the app in market by NEMA.
I'm going to have a backup of my efs folder and root explorer app now because I'm scared.

^ thanks will try that!
My airplane sign is on though! and has been for ages now-despite airplane mode being disabled?

Lol okay so I have two issues...sim problem AND
the phone refuses to switch off flight mode (despite the fact it's not activated in settings) Wifi comes on but bluetooth won't as it's in "flight mode"-sigh

If you have some radio service restored, then there is still some hope:
Go into phone dialer, punch in *#*#4636#*#*. Then go in Phone Information, scroll down, and there should be a drop-down box selection there. Select "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". Wait few seconds. Hit your menu soft-key. Select "Select radio band". Select "Automatic", OK, then go back to Phone info Menu. Hit "Turn off radio", wait few seconds until you lose all radio connections. Then hit "Turn on radio" and see if you get your radio connections restored.
If you can't do any of the previous steps then your efs nv_data.bin file is probably corrupt or something. Try removing battery, wait few seconds, turn on phone without SIM, turn off phone, re-insert SIM, then turn on. Repeat instructions on previous paragraph.
If you're still SOL, then you need help from someone else. Try searching "efs restore" from the parent forum thread "Samsung Galaxy S II I9100". I found a thread with [FIXED] tag that may show some help regarding this.

My S2 is also in similar mode .. tried ur instructions but unable to start the radio please help

the same think for me

i had this with ke7 modem and when i changed to kh3 it stoped

Apologies for hijacking this thread but I have a similar problem in that I can't get a 3G signal either.
In my case, it happened when I was at my local cinema and I managed to pick up a 3G signal in there which I used to do a quick check of my email before the signal switched itself off.
Usually if the phone is out of range of a 3G signal, the signal would switch itself off then back on once the phone was in range of a 3G signal and yet, when I was back outside, I couldn't get a 3G signal.
I thought it was the SIM card at first but it's definitely not that. I finally managed to install VillainROM after much difficulty yesterday and it fixed a problem I had with the phone being stuck in Flight Mode but it didn't fix the problem involving not being able to pick up a 3G signal anywhere.

[Q] Nexus 4 repeated signal loss and calls not coming through

I've got some serious issues with my Nexus 4, I've found posts with similar problems but not exactly what I have. I'm at a loss what to do next so any advice would be much appreciated.
I bought a N4 around March this year, direct from Google, and connected it to TPG Mobile here in Australia which uses the Optus network.
It was fine until about the end of May or beginning of June where it started losing signal regularly. First thing I noticed is it would start dropping calls and displaying "No network available", the triangular status bar at the top would go blank (completely black, not grey) for about 30 seconds, then it would return to normal signal and I could make calls again. However it would do this every few minutes, whether I was on a call or not, and each time it would last roughly 30 seconds and then return to normal.
Around the same time I started to receive SMS on either a delay, or they'd arrive on-time, but then keep sending multiple times for about the next hour.
I rang Google, they got me to go through recovery mode, then it worked fine, for about 24 hours, before it started again. They sent me a new device, which did the same thing within hours of activation, so I requested a 3rd device. At the same time I thought it might be the sim card, so I got a new one of those too.
My 3rd device and new sim card worked perfectly for about 3 days then the same problem started. Factory resets etc seem to fix the problem for either minutes or hours, but never permanently.
Then last week I noticed further weird symptoms, I started getting the usual sms to say someone had called and left a voicemail, however my phone never showed any sign of a call (visual, audio or missed call in the call log). I confirmed with several people who tried calling me and they confirmed the phone rang on their end before going to VM. I tried it myself from a landline and it randomly rings or doesn't ring on my end, however I also noticed when I hung up on the landline without answering my Nexus 4, it continued to ring indefinitely, ie. it hadn't registered the caller hung up.
My provider assures me there isn't an issue in my area, my wife uses the same provider (with an iphone) and has not had these issues. I can't swap sim cards with her though as she has a full-size sim. I tried another sim with my phone for a few hours and it worked fine, however my phone with my sim will sometimes go a whole day without issues so it wasn't long enough to truly test it.
I've deleted all apps that might somehow affect it and the hasn't helped either.
Basically I'd like to know is this likely to be a phone issue, and I pursue the issue with Google, or some sort of network/sim issue and I pursue it with my provider?

Losing Service After 1-2 mins

I have an SGH-I337M on the Bell network. After a flight, I took the phone off of airplane mode and it did not regain service. After a restart service reconnected (data and texting) but then disappeared after a minute. Generally, I do not get "No Service" errors and I have never gotten "SIM Card Removed", the bars and LTE in the corner persist although nothing seems to come through. I did some searching and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/service-problem-i337mvlufni2-t2977997
and gave the instructions a shot. I was able to use data and text for about 5 minutes initially, but since the first boot it has reverted to the original problem (coincidence?). I also took the phone in to a repair shop and had the SIM tray replaced, which did not solve the problem either. I have tried using ODIN to return to stock (I337MVLUFNI2_I337MOYAFNI2_BMC) and have tried CM11 and unofficial lollipop releases. The issue is identical in all cases.
I'm really hoping I missed something obvious here.
Thoughts?

Tested my SIM in another phone and it worked perfectly. Tested different SIM in this phone, same issues.

Bump.

The same issue here. The service/network is lost a few minutes after reboot. When I reboot my phone everything works perfectly fine - call, sms, switching to airplane mode, navigating through Mobile Networks menu items (in Settings->Connections->More Networks->Mobile Networks). After 5 minutes all those features/apps stop working. Everything looks normal but when I start one of those apps, the app hangs/freezes and stays frozen. For example when I try to place a call, the app is stuck in 'Dialing....' process and stays like that forever. When I try to end the call the app is not responding. The same thing with all apps that need/use network. All those apps stay frozen when started. Notification bar is showing I am connected to the network and network icon is showing strong signal. I tried different roms including stock rom but that didn't help. Looks like a software issue but I could be wrong.
Any suggestions anyone?

Phone stopped been able to make calls. Alert message: "Phone not allowed MMM#6"

Phone stopped been able to make calls. Alert message: "Phone not allowed MMM#6"
Hello there. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T (Samsung-SM-G900A) phone. I started having problems with my phone this Friday after it fell off a desk. My phone stopped getting signal, whenever I tried making a call I would get a message saying "Emergency calls only" and when I restarted it I got a message saying: "Phone not allowed MM#6". I think something it the hardware might have been damage with the fall, since I never got this problem before, but I understand that the MM#6 problem is related to the phone's IMEI, so I'm not sure anymore. Can someone help me figure out what to do?
I would like to know if it's a problem I could fix with it's software before considering opening my phone.
Some other information:
- My phone's company isn't AT&T, but I already had my phone enabled for my company when I bought it, so I didn't had problems like this before.
- The phone was bought externaly from my phone's company.
- I rarely recover signal on my phone when I restart it (I tried making calls and it worked), but I lose the signal really quickly.
