[Q] Ghost Voicemail Icon - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Any time I reboot the voicemail icon pops up. The only way I can find to clear it is to delete the data using app manager or wipe the data in Titanium for Phone 4.4 (Voicemail) but every time I reboot, it pops up again. I am running Gummy 4.4. If anyone knows of a way to stop this it would be deeply appreciated. I have tried freezing it already. I don't know if this makes a difference but I also have Google Voice and I use that for VM. I tried deleting the Google VM account, leaving a VM through the old Sprint VM and deleting but that did not fix the problem.

Cont.
I called Sprint, no luck even when the deactivated my Sprint Voicemail. I found an app called Notification Off that I am using for now. It automatically disables the notification when it comes up. Not the perfect outcome but it will have to do until someone figures this out.

Voicemail Notification

I have a standard G1, non rooted, cupcake version.
Tonight since I retrieved my voicemail the icon hasn't disappeared from the notification bar, I tried clearing notifications and rebooted the phone, it's still there. I have no voicemails but the icon is still there.
Any ideas?
it will go away, sometimes mine stay there for a whole day before it just decides to go away. call your voicemail a few times to make sure and maybe the phone will get the hint. other than that you can't do anything about it
Weird, hasn't happened to me before.
Funny cos I have been calling the VM to 'remind' it.
Thanks man, hopefully it'll go bye bye on it's own.
This happened to me, it finally went away when I called myself from another number and left a voicemail and then deleted it.
Yeah, your best best is to call your VM, play around in the menu's for a while, and it should go away.
You can also try going into the "Call Options" menu and erase the number for your VM (write it down first!), let it sit for a minute or so, and then put the number back in again.
I get anomolies in the VM system quite frequently, and it normally occurs when I delete a VM and then hang up too quickly (in the US, before it says "Press 1 to undo"). I let it return to the main menu in the VM inbox first now and normally the VM icon goes away as soon as I hang up.

Sprint Visual Voicemail AOSP

Okay so i spent 4 days uninstalling and reinstalling the sprint VVM app and following the directions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966&page=14
I must have attempted it over 200 times when suddenly.. IT JUST WORKED, i did a little dance, jumped around, did a backflip, the usual celebration stuff
Anyway, 24 hours later my MIUI somehow got stuck in a bootloop so i had to do a restore and i lost it, needless to say i've tried another 200 times to get my sprint visual voicemail working and it just keeps saying
"Data Restore Failed" On TitaniumBackup
Is there any flashable ZIP that i can just flash and get my VVM working? this is driving me insane, i have no idea what i did different the one time it worked but i just cannot get it to work again.. pleaaaaaase help
your not doing it right then, it has worked countless times for myself and friends. Somewhere along the lines you are skipping something or not following the directions fully
Trust me i am doing everything right
1.) Uninstall the voicemail
2.) Install the Voicemail APK
3.) Copy/paste the files from zip into the Titanium Backup Folder
4.) Restore DATA only from voicemail in titanium backup
and it should work.. but i get Data Restore Failed every single time
I swear i had seen a flashable zip fix for this somewhere, has anyone done this succesfully and have a zip?
Finally just got it working, i had to uninstall/reinstall Titanium Backup and then it worked, only took me like 60 more tries lol.. I am DEFINTEILY gonna make a nandroid back up RIGHT AWAY, but would still be interested in this ZIP for future referenes
Okay well i got the Application to install correctly, but i'm still not getting the voicemails to it... I was using google voice and i just tried to test my new sprint VVM and the voicemail still went to google's voice, so i uninstalled it and i keep trying to compose a message to myself and nothing is coming back...do i need to do something to turn off google voicemail ?

I have this same problem with google voice just earlier this morning.
First you have to login google voice account via the net and deactivate google voice. It will prompt you to dial *38 to deactivate, this should now revert you back to sprint visual voicemail. Hope this help.

If you chose Google voice integration your voicemails will go to Google voice no matter what

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.

How to Delete Google Voice its Giving me Problems

I wanted to try it out because I was curious but I dont like it and want the Sprint voice mail back. And because I now downloaded it I am not receiving my texts or mms messages. I tried to remove it through the market and through managing application but it wont let me delete the damn thing how do I get rid of this. I just flashed EVio 3 last night so I am wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache as well as a Factory reset then I am going to re flash it. I hope this works.
When you uninstall it, it will revert to stock settings for your texts and voicemail. If you cant delete it through the market, try going to settings-applications-manage and remove it from there. If that doesnt work, try clearing data and cache from the Market from the Manage Applications menu, then restart and try again.

I did that and I still can un install it and I am having people text me and I am not getting them.
EDIT: I went to google voice online and disabled the account and I can now get texts and mms but now I dont have any sort of voice mail option now the phone will just keep ringing and ringing and never go to voice mail. I called my voice mail and all i get is a busy dial tone so I cant set up my sprint voice mail anymore. I dont know what going on anymore. I even posted my problem on sprints forum, looks like this isnt only happening to me. I went in again to recovery and wiped both cache to see if will do something.

Goto menu, settings, call, and see if you have a voicemail service option. Select my carrier if it's there.

I tried that and selected my carrier but I still have the same issue when I call my voice mail its a busy dial tone not sure what else will fix this
EDIT: I CALLED SPRINT CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR ME
You can probably just call sprint. A simple reprovisioning of your voicemail can fix this.
If your voicemail is not picking up after unisntallung just call reckless support. Basically they have to remove voicemail and add it back on and it will start working again. I see this happen all the time.

Voicemail notification won't go away

I've had my MXPE for about a week now, and ever since I've activated it, I've had a constant voicemail notification that won't go away, and re-notifies me every couple hours. I'm on Sprint, and I've already contacted their customer support, they had me reprogram the phone, then do a factory reset and the notification was still there. So they told me to contact Motorola for support saying it must be a software issue, but Motorola said it wouldn't be software it would be with Sprint. I've waited a few days, but it's still there and I've missed important messages because I didn't know I was being left voicemail. Is there any fix for this, or should I just return the phone? I haven't seen anyone else complain about it, so I'm thinking it might just be my particular phone does have buggy software.
Edit: I've tried both leaving myself a message and clearing my phone app cache, that makes it go away for about an hour and then it comes right back.
Have you tried just deleting the 1 voice mail that is giving you problems? Maybe it is hung up in the system somehow.

I have no messages in my voicemail, and Sprint reset my services so I had to completely set the system up again.
That happened to me and it was a result I believe of Google Voice. I eventually had to sign up for visual voicemail through AT&T, log on, and the message was there. I had to delete it from visual voicemail and it deleted from my phone.

Was having the same issue too, on AT&T. I saw it right when I was transitioning from my backup S5 and then ignored it because it said it was coming from my Google Voice account. Kept getting stupid VM notifications for as long as I've had this phone and just came across this post. Never thought to check my AT&T voicemail, which is where their "welcome" voicemail was stored, no other messages, and deleted that sucker. Hopefully no more VM notifications pop up!
