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.
I've searched the Fascinate forums for a question on this and came up with nothing, so sorry if this has already been asked earlier.
I just got my Fascinate a few days ago and I was wondering if there was a way you could set a default phone number for each contact? For example, when you click on a contact to call and you have their Home and Mobile phone numbers, it asks you which one you want to call. I think it's somewhat annoying to have to do this each time if you know the majority of the time you want to call their cell phone.
Thanks for any answers!
If you go into your contacts app, select the contact you want to set a default for. Then hit your menu key. At the bottom there will be an option that says "Mark as Default", click that option and then select the phone number/email address you want to use as the default. Now click save. That should do it.
Thank you! By the way, is there a way to call a contact directly from the list of contacts? I know you can swipe your finger to the right over the contact to show the two icons for "Call" and "Message", but is there a way to just directly call the contact with one touch/swipe?
I find the Samsung dialer to be rather lacking. I would highly recommend that you give Dialer One a try. Free app, no ads, and much more customizable.

Actually, after setting the default number, when I press "Call," it still asks me which number to call....
Ok so I orginally thought the idea of GV integration with sprint was awesome...after fiddling with it. I was very disappointed.
The problems I had with it were...I dont want to use my GV number as my primary. I dont want to change my GV number to my cell number. Each option had issues that I felt needed to be addressed. Changing my GV number to my cell made it to where txt would be comming into my phone via gv app. Yes there is a work around but ita annoying and I dont want my text stored on line. I also didnt want to change my gv number, this to me sounds like it could be a bad idea at some point in time, and cause other issues. So I set out how to get classic google voice back with the new app that will not let you just use it for vm heres how i did it, now I know this affects the Nexus S 4G with the version of GV they include...however the market version does seem to be different.
Option 1 (For Rooted Phones)
1) Use Titanium backup or some other root explorer to delete the stock voice apk, then reboot recovery and wipe dalvik
2) Once back inside the rom download voice from the market as that version doesnt seem to suffer from the ****ty options that are stock on the phone
Option 2 (The proper way for rooted and non rooted phones)
1) Launch GV app on phone, and sign in, when it ask choose to change your gv number to your cell number.
2) Get annoyed and go get a shot of vodka, and wait about 15 minutes (honestly because you wont be able to change it back for at least 15 minutes.)
3) Login to gv on the web (voice.google.com)
4) once in there click the gear, and pick voice settings. Under the phone area choose to disable the sprint port number (your google voice number). It will disable and revert back to your old gv number
5) Where you mobile number is at you should see enable google voice mail for this line. Click that, and follow the instructions.
6) Click on voice mail and text uncheck email message and send sms.
7) on your phone open gv, goto more then settings make sure it says. Making calls do not use gv to make calls. make sure this phones number is your actual mobile number adjust sync options as you wish and make sure My gv number is indeed your gv number.
8) DO NOT SIGN OUT OF THE APP (Im not sure what will happen but my guess is it will break)
9) Edit your voice mail settings under call settings and change your vm settings to GV from "My Carrier" and make sure your GV number is in there.
Options: Now if you dont want to use the gv app at all you can have gv send you an sms or an email instead or manually check your voice mail by phone.
Enjoy
I kinda did this a different way but not as elegant. I used root manager to remove google voice. I might have used root manager to remove the data too but I can't recall. I rebooted. Then I tried downloading google voice again. I think it installed. I tried running it and there was a problem. I uninstalled it. Then installed it again. That must have flushed out all the references to the program that I missed. Ran the program, signed in, chose let me choose to use google voice for every call. Then I clicked the link for conditional call forwarding and hit send. It's *28(google voice number with area code) then send. After that I hit back until I got back to the gv setup. I chose skip then next then I think I was done. It's working now the old way. Separate numbers and google voice for voicemail.

Can you explain what this workaround is? I'm not too thrilled with how the GV app handles SMS either.
The most annoying thing about this is the app options seems useless for configuration purposes. You really have to configure this through the web to work right.
After I first set it up and tested a voice mail I got
An email, an MMS, and a notification bar alert from GVM app itself even though in the app I had the first two disabled.. Finally got it down to just a notification bar alert from the GVM app only after configuring through the web. It's stupid that by default it lets you know THREE different ways you have a damn voice mail.
I love it!
My texts come to my phone just as they are supposed to and since I turned off notifications in GV app I don't get notifications in the app. I get emails and texts telling me of voice messages just like before. Yes the app still receives text messages and stores them online, but I see this as a plus since txt is mainly how I communicate and my job has me working in a lot of places with internet access but no cell coverage. win win in my book.
To get texts sent to your phone you have to check the little box in your settings that says "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
It took me a while to messing around to get everything set up, but I'm liking it now.
I use option 2 (GV number in place of cell number). It works flawlessly. I have had no issues. For me this was easy because I made people use my GV # as my primary number years ago. It just takes a little time an patience getting all your friends and family to use the GV #, but once its done its the best move you'll ever make.

It doesn't have to handle sms. Check that little checkbox and the sms will be delivered to your phone like they were before. Then go into GV app and turn off notifications.
Nice guide. Well since my Nexus is stock and I couldn't stand how broken gv and sprint are together I wanted it to go back to go it was.
That is to say, texts and voicemails come through notifications by the Google voice app and texts sent to my mobile number come through the default messaging app. That's how its supposed to be.
It's quite easy to do, in settings for Google voice in your phone turn off all notifications and inbox synchronization. Basically nothing should be checked. Then in the web go to your Google voice settings and under phones next to your mobile number click on "disable Google voice on your sprint phone".
That should make everything normal again. Hope that helps. I don't see the point of what sprint and Google were trying to do here. The Google voice app works just fine the way it is. Don't mess with a good thing.

I think the folks asking, like myself, are looking for slightly more detail.
After rooting around for the setting mentioned I found it.
1. Log in to Google Voice online
2. Click on the little gear in the upper right hand corner to access Options
3. Click on Voice Settings
4. On the Phones tab under "Forward calls to" click on the Edit button for your Google Voice enabled mobile phone
5. Where it says "Text Settings" check the box for "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
This should send texts to your phones SMS app rather than through the Google Voice app.
Hope this saves others some time searching.
My biggest pet peeves were:
1. Incoming messages from the same sender would sometimes create multiple threads inside of Google Voice.
2. SMS messages received from contacts that were not stored in Google account (i.e. corporate account) would commonly show up from a telephone number versus a name.
3. SMS messages initiated from Google Voice would not show up as threads until they were responded to.
4. Messaging application was rendered useless bloatware.
5. I don't want/need Google Voice to archive 300 - 500 text messages a day.
The entire thing is a cluster____.... I've never quite seen something so utterly stupidly organized and launched like this..
How long does it take it so when someone calls my number they hear my Sprint voicemail message instead? I just called my number and it's still going to the Google voice system. It's not activated just checked as my mobile phone but NOT intergrated anymore.

Brotha -I was about to go insane out of my mind -and then I read this. Thanks. I thought I looked at every possible setting -but there is always a button that eludes you.
Then I had to stop the double notifications bc I was getting my text message on my phone and my text in google voice. So on my phone in GV settings I Un-checked "Inbox notifications"
I was really excited about GV integration - now I wish that Sprint would have left it alone. It really is a big mess to get it to do what you want.

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I hope Sprint and Google work something out with this.. If XDA members are scratching their heads how to make this work like they want imagine how a regular novice user must feel.
The Sprint/Google intergration and its current method of "configuring" (ie dice rolling) reminds of some half assed business solution some unknown outside firm was paid to write.
I didn't have to root or uninstall. Just download google voice from the market and let it overwrite the existing installation.

This worked for me also (unrooted), but I updated before I ever opened voice. Does it work after the fact
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Yeah I just plain old updated and the settings went back to the old ones.
I have a stock Tmobile HTC G2 on Android 2.3.4. When I attempt to make a call while connected to a wifi network, I receive this message "No Internet Calling Account". This only happens when my phone is on wifi and it doesn't matter if I have wifi calling enabled or not, I still get this message. I have to disable wifi to actually make a call on this phone now.
For reference, I have two HTC G2's. This particular one doesn't have a data plan, so it stays on wifi. Both phones are stock and running 2.3.4 Android.
I remember the first time I tried to make a call after the upgrade to 2.3.4, it popped up with what program to use for the call. I hit what I thought was the green normal phone one, but then I get a warning message that says "No Internet Calling Account" There are no Internet calling accounts on this phone. Add one now? My choice is Add or cancel. If I choose to add it brings me to a screen to add SIP accounts.
I guess I need to figure out a way to keep this SIP (Internet Calling) from being the "default" setting when dialing out while on Wifi? For reference, my other G2 dials out just fine when wifi is connected and uses Tmobile's network like it should, or I can use the WifI calling. It behaves as it should. On this other phone, neither of those options work on this phone. I have to be off wife to actually dial out. I can receive calls just fine though, even with wifi connected.
No help on this one? Someone has to know what is going on?
Yes...it is pretty simple. I'm at work right now so I can't give you the exact details, but go into Menu > Settings > Phone (I believe it's in the phone tab), scroll to the bottom and there is a segment on Internet Calling. Just uncheck Internet Calling as default for all calls; select it to be used just for Internet Calls. That should solve the problem.
So you have a call plan but not data plan correct?

I had forgot to say I checked yes and yes it was set to ask, but I changed it to only for Internet calls, but still no go. The only other option in there is the "For All Calls".

Correct, I have a normal Calling plan and texting, just no data on this phone. My work provides me with this number, but I'm not good enough to get data.
Anyway, I've been using this phone like that since Dec, and its never been an issue until the upgrade to Gingerbread.
Have you installed an app called voice changer? If so uninstall it and see if that works, it was causing that same issue on my sons phone. You can also try going to settings - apps - manage apps, choose the app named dialer and click clear defaults.
Now we might be getting somewhere. I do have voice changer downloaded. Don't think I've ever used it. Il drop it off and see what happens. Thanks a bunch

JC, you nailed it. First I went through and reset the default on the dialer which was one of the things I was trying to do, I just couldn't figure out how to do it.
So the next time I attempted to make a call (while connected to wifi) it came up with 2 options to dial out. One was the voice dailer app, and the other was Dialer, but it had (SIP) behind it. That Dialer was the one I hit the first time around and set it to default thinking there is no way I want the default to be the voice changer, but for some reason it only gives you that SIP option. I'm guessing the voice changer is hogging the standard dial out option.
Since it still appeared that I couldn't call out with just the normal dialer, I went ahead and uninstalled that Voice Changer app and that was it. Its back to the way I'm expecting it!
I'm glad you ran into that with your son's phone as you figured out exactly what the issue was. I don't think I have that app on my other phone and that explains why it wasn't experiencing the same thing.
Same issue, but with HTC Desire 600. I did a factory reset, then restored from Google backup. Now I get that message on every phone number.
I can't find those settings or anything, it's Sense 5 and everything is different here. I have no SIP apps or anything installed on phone. please help
I've installed Go dialer and was hoping to use this instead of the stock dialer but unlike other apps it doesn't give me the option to make Go the default app for calls.
The launch by default options says no defaults set and is greyed out on both the Go dialer and stock dialer.
How can I change it so whenever I make or receive a call it uses Go dialer?
Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon,
Have you tried making a call using the Go dialer? After the call, your phone should ask you what dialer to get back to, because it needs to know what app to use to show you your call history. Just select Go dialer from there (but to be honest, I only found Go Contacts EX on the Playstore). Hope it works out
Alternatively, I find that I prefer using exDialer, because I love how you can enter part of a contact name or number, have that contact show up, and then swipe left to send SMS or swipe right to call them. Quite useful! Check it out if you want hahaha

Looks like your phone doesn't think the Go dialer is actually installed... Try cleaning the cache and cleaning data for the Go dialer app, uninstall it, reboot your phone, and then re-install Go dialer. Maybe that'll make your phone recognize the Go dialer app.
