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

Anyone able to help me out on this one?
I got a voice mail message the other day. Listened to it the next day and then deleted it.
The voicemail indicator (you know the one that looks like a tape symbol) is still in the bar at the top and i still have 'notification' on the bottom left soft key.
I do not have any voicemail messages and i have rebooted (soft) the phone. Cant get rid of the damn thing - getting anoying now...
Any help appreciated.
Simply call your voicemail, listen to a message, delete a message. pause (play around in voicemail for a few moments) then hang up. If you have no voicemail messages to delete, call yourself and leave yourself a message. I have/do get that problem from time to time. It appears voicemail only communicates with the phone as a one shot basis only - T-Mobile really needs to address that issue.
Hope that helps,
Best regards,

Yeah - thanks for that. Sorted out my problem. Took a couple of attempts, but its gone now
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!
Has any body else got the same problem as me. when ever somebody leaves me a voicemail the phone doesnt show voicemail notification, unless i soft reset, then as soon as the phone boots i get the notification. its the same when i've listened to and deleted the message, the notification will not go until i soft reset.???? i'm on the orange network and tried all the different cabs and regedits that i can find to fix the problem but no luck yet!!!
There are two ways of voicemail notification. One is a normal SMS from your mailbox. The other is a system message shown on the top of the screen. Many providers only support the SMS notification.
I have a HTC HD2 and when the screen is locked, it shows a number 1 (identifying that i have a notification).
When i tap the notification icon, it drops down and shows me the voicemail icon - which means i should have a new voicemail message to listen to.
If i slide the voicemail icon, the phone goes straight to phone book, but when i call my voicemail - there are no new messages...
I have tried everything and i just cant get rid of this voicemail icon! I DO NOT want to do a hard reset.... Please let me know how to sort this out...
+1.
I'm too having this problem. Whenever there's a new email notification on the lock screen it always shows there are 2 messages, one being a voicemail.
I can't find a solution for this problem here on XDA (if anyone has a search string for me, please let me know )
I remember Nokias having ghost voicemail messages, these were reset by the mobile service provider, check with your network just in case.
Possible Solution...
I'm not an expert, but I kept noticing this problem as well (HTD2 on AT&T). Happens after a hard reset OR if AT&T updates their network or something (who knows).
Anyway, experimented and found if I left a message to my phone from another line right after a reset (when I was seeing the "ghost" voice mail notification), allowed the message to register on the HD2. Turn screen off then on. Slide VM notification. Dial VM. Check the messages and delete all (press 7 to delete). Exit VM with * key. And the ghost notification disappears. I will update if this works in the future.
Hope this helps someone.
No problems with HD2 and PocketShield

Some consumers reported ghost notifications on the Touch Pro 2. I don't know how they fixed them but I know they did. You may want to search those forums to see if the same solution can be used on the HD2. I think it should given that the operating software is pretty much the same.
any solution ?

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)
