Voicemail icon wont go away

I am having the little tape icon for voice mail and it won't go away.

make sure you listen to the whole voicemail before ending the call. or just delete the damn thing.

I had this on my Touch Pro2, it turns out it was a damaged SIM card!

Damn damaged similar card?

Did you try pulling down the notification bar and pressing the clear button
G2 cm6.1.1

Call your number. Save a voicemail, then listen and delete it. I had this problem and doing this worked for me.

There is no clear button when I pull it down. I logged out of gv and switched my vm settings to my carrier. The tape icon is for regular vm. When I leave a message it doesn't register. They keep getting stored in gv. If I sign into gv they are all there.
God this is frustrating..
I did put in my old sim card to copy over my phone numbers, could that have anything to do with it?

I had this issue before. I called my carrier and they reset my voicemail inbox which solved it for me.

This, please people - use common sense, its a network issue, not hardware. Call TMO and tell them your MWI is stuck

Visual Voicemail?

Is there any possible way to save these REALLY IMPORTANT voicemail messages to the SD Card? I need them, BADLY.

Well, depending on the voicemail app, they should be saved elsewhere anyway. I know T-Mobile saves them to their servers, as does Google for those using Google voice. Just reinstall the apps and they should be available immediately. Or, if not, titanium backup might be able to do that.

Damn, I'm with T-Mobile. I tried using this headphone to headphone cord to record them with Audacity but that was just a fail. There's no other way, though any means necessary, to get them saved?

Well you might want to check with them as to whether voicemails are saved elsewhere. I'm pretty sure they are, but I'm not a rep for them, so I can't say for certain. They should automatically redownload to the visual voicemail App once you reinstall it.

Why not just use you mail??? I'm the market. It saves them all online.

TMO voicemail is definitely saved on the server side. Its the same database you'd get to if you called your voicemail directly by holding down 1 on the dialer.
Just reinstall the TMO vm app and they'd show up.

Actually visual voicemail is already in the phone app with Sense, but I ask because it had a tendency to disable and then erase my voicemail box. I can't have that happen a 4th time.

Voicemail icon stuck?

My voicemail icon keeps coming back randomly even though I have nothing in my voicemail box. Does anyone know what causes this? It's getting reeeeeally annoying!

Is it just saying you have a voicemail or is there another message displayed when you drop down your notifications?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

It's saying 'New Voicemail' but there isn't one. Not rooted, no ROM, totally stock.

Not sure about that issue. I know I would get the icon and it stated inbox full if I had less than 100MB (maybe 200MB) of available space on the phone. I had to go through everything and figure out what I really needed on the phone and get rid of the extra junk (thanks Amazon).
You might want to try dialing into your voicemail and see if there is actually a message that visual voicemail isn't downloading. I had that happen on my G1.

Nope, that didnt do anything. This is so annoying. I dont want to have to hard reset over this.
Anyone else have any ideas? Something occurred to me just now. I remember I created a voicemail message by accident by calling my phone with Google Talk on my laptop. I then deleted the voicemail in Google Voice on the laptop. But I'm wondering if MAYBE the message was deleted but the notification was still sent out from Google to my phone and got stuck there when I deleted the message online.?? That make sense?

This happened to me once a long time ago (back when I had a measly Nokia dumbphone). It had something to do with my service provider's network. From what I can remember, which may or may not be accurate, is that the voicemail icon is turned on/off by an unseen sms. For some reason, my phone wasn't getting the "off" sms or something. I ended up calling my service provider and then they sent something across the network that sort of reset that. No idea what they did, but it worked.

Go to <settings <call and click "Clear voicemail notification"

I had the same problem, and this worked. Thanks!

I had the same problem recently. I grabbed my wife's phone and left myself a message, it fixed it.

Done. Fixed. My wife called the phone, left a new message, we deleted it and the notice hasnt come back.

Google voice because?

I understand some ppl use it for voicemail only but how many others use it because sprints service is garbage where your at? Ex being that i miss 3-4 calls n bout 5-7 txt a day jus using sprint service...how do i know this? Google voice tracks calls and texts even when the phone is off (not saying my phone is off tho). Ill get notifications in gv n never get a missed call or txt thru native apps. This is very disappointing on sprints part...

yeah i use it because i get missed calls/texts sometimes. but the google voice app is problematic that it likes to freeze/doesn't send my text/ update my gv inbox.
overall, i'm happy though, and i can respond to text messages from my laptop now

I started using it when my texts would take about an hour to come in. That was on my palm centro. The web interface is best thing in the world.

It doesnt freeze for me but i quit using the app to text i jus use to to notify me of anything incoming. Kid, i feel u. it really sux once u turn gv off n miss a bunch ppl needing to contact

I use it for 2 reasons. First, so I can text over wifi. Second, so I can get my voicemail transcribed. Even with bad transcription, I can usually get the main points.

How do you quit txt if you fully went over to GV?

I use gv so I can text at work (via wifi) and when I'm not at work, I go back to using handcent.. just leave gv sending texts to my phone.. may not be optimum, but can't stand some of the quirks of the gv app...

I leave gv open to receive messages(get notifacation in gv app n turn off notify in native and go sms apps to prevent triple notifies) but i use go sms to send texts out unless i get a text fail because service drops. Then i open gv to text thru 3gdata or wifi. I do this because I get texts that i dont get thru my native text service or go sms apps but can still reveive them in gv even when not on wifi because google intercepts it. Get missed call messages also even tho my phone doesnt ring.

I have been using Google Voice since you had to get a invite to use it. I originally got it for my Archos 5, as it doesn't have a data plan from a carrier. I find it nice that when I got my Optimus s, and Epic, all of my messages were there. No having to copy messages over or anything like that. I didn't have to change my number between phones either, which is always a hassle. I love this app, and have for a longggg time.

Ever since I decided to try gv, it asks me to press "1" to accept calls when I answer them. Even tried uninstalling it, and it still does it. How can I stop it from doing that? Even still get transcribed vm in messaging too. Annoying...

it's easiest to change those settings by logging into the GV site, and changing your settings. If you've enabled the carrier integration, you'll have to call Sprint to get them to remove it.

you need to go into google voice and turn off call screening. uninstalling the app will still have calls going through GV

[Q]A way to delete voice mail notification?

As the title says.. This voice mail notific is annoying since i dont use it.. And i need a fast way to remove it.
Is there any app that those so?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

btw just found a way by clearing Phone Data.
i will like to find better hack like erasing it using the clear button on the notification bar,
like old cm7

Just a note it will come back when you reboot or get a new voicemail. I discovered this when I went on Straight Talk, I wanted to disuse their voicemail and use Google Talk exclusively but it sends a signal because they want you to setup voicemail.

I guess the best thing will be maybe to contact the provider and disable it totally!
