I am having the little tape icon for voice mail and it won't go away.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
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

Using Google voice. Is there any way I can disable my text messages from going through voice and instead using stock android messaging? Its really annoying.

Just go into the Google Voice settings and then sync and notifications. There you can disable the notifications.
do i uncheck "inbox notifications"? i already had "text messages" unchecked.
Wondering the same thing. I don 't have anything checked and everything is still routing to my GV inbox. Aggravating.
Go to www.google.com/voice
Click on Settings in the top right corner
Find your Sprint phone in the list of phones and click Edit
Toggle the check box for "Receive text messages on this phone."
(I don't know if this works or not but someone can try it )

Everything is going to be in your Google voice inbox, you can't change that. Unselect notifications in your phone's Google voice app.

This is exactly what you need to do.
I had this problem yesterday.
First, go into the Google Voice app on your phone and turn off all notifications.
Then, goto voice.google.com and change the setting Matt2053 is talking about.
Works perfect for me now.

Maybe im not understanding you, but is that not what you wanted?
You say texts are now coming to your text app, and that you are only getting notifications for the text app.
Sounds like its working normally to me.

Correct ... but on Google voice app and web site there is still a copy of the text I have received or sent to someone ...
Now my question is will there always we 2 copies as long as I have my Sprint number linked to Google voice?
If so that blows but I guess its a small price to pay...

Yes, there will always be two copies.
But honestly thats partly why i love having it integrated.
You can check your texts from your phone or your computer. You can even send texts using your number from your computer if you wanted to.
Its neat!

After linking google voice to my sprint account it says google voice is using 27% of my battery.... not cool.
I don't mind getting messages via gvoice, i'm just trying to receive messages via stock app. It just sucks having to go thru gvoice to access my texts.

You have to enable your phone to receive texts in the settings under google.com/voice. Make sure its checked. But you will be double notified, which annoys me.

I'm not using Google Voice because of this. I used to use it because of the visual voicemail and it being converted to text, but I don't want it running everything on my phone. It needs much more customization.
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...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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
So I have decided to pick up a Nexus 7 to use as my primary phone. I will be using a T-Mobile hot spot when mobile, and possibly a spare Android phone to throw in my pocket when the tablet just isn't a possibility. I will of course be using Google Voice with an app for calls and SMS. 99.99% of my phone use is just text or data. I am currently using talkatone free, which seems to work ok except the fact there is no notifications for SMS. I have to open the app and "check sms" just to receive them. I want an app that will show a new message notification in the notifications bar. One that would light up the tablet would be ok as well. I have seen there are some other apps, but I don't want to start buying up apps just to find out they still don't do what I am looking for. Any suggestions?
I use Tablet Talk, its well worth the money.

How does it display new messages?
Just like your phone, a notification with your choice of ringtone, and a messaging interface
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Keep in mind that Tablet Talk will use your plans minutes and text messages. It simply syncs your phones texts and phone calls to your tablet. If you want to make phone calls going through GV then I would recommend talkatone. Ive used many of the apps that claim to make calls through your gmail account but all have failed, except talkatone. Yes, there is a slight delay but its not that bad. On other apps the delay would be 1min or more which is totally unacceptable. Stick with talkatone, its free and it works. I have been using it for a while now and have noticed quality and delay improvements as it has been updated.
My problem with Talkatone is that I don't get SMS notifications. I have to open the app and "check SMS" every time before it gives me the new ones. I can't seem to find any option in there that would turn on notifications or auto sync. This is annoying as I have to proactively be checking for messages all the time instead of just being notified.
A friend is running the same app on his iPad and when he gets a new SMS message it plays a ring tone and shows an number in the upper right of the app icon showing he has a new message. Mine does neither. Then again he is on premium, is this possibly only a feature of premium? I just have no desire spending $3-5 on apps just to find out they lack this basic feature which kills them.
Well it's not a premium feature as I went premium and it still suffers from the same issue. I don't THINK it's a setting on the N7 itself, as I receive notification for other apps just fine.
Try to contact the developer

When I signed up for simple mobile I chose not to get their voicemail because I use Google voice.
However I have a permanent notification for new voicemail that I can't get rid off.
Is there a way to manually disable this notification? Forever...

You might have to go ahead and actually check the voicemail. This might require you to temporarily disable the google voice voicemail. It looks like even the instructions to check from another phone require you to be kicked to your T-Mobile voicemail: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1172
BTW, unless "simple mobile" is a carrier, I'm assuming you're using T-Mobile (since this is a T-Mobile device)...

Hi and thanks for responding. I can't actually check for the voicemail since I opted not get it during sign up. I don't have a pin.
Simple Mobile let's you use your own phone. I used to have t mobile but not any more.
I even called customer service but they couldn't figure it out either.
I also have disabled Google voice and tried what you suggested as well.
No dice.

I'm also in the same boat as you. I have a Galaxy Note, but my issue is the same (Simple Mobile w/o voicemail + Google Voice)
Anyway, what I've done so far is another jury rig:
First, I set the Voicemail ringtone to silent and never vibrate
Then, I set a Tasker profile to run at startup; it waits 10 seconds, then kills the Phone app (with Taskkill).
Sadly, the VM notification keeps popping up every once in a while, so I have another Tasker profile to kill the Phone app every hour--unless I'm in a call.
But I'll keep searching the forums and Google until I find a cleaner solution...
