I have a Fi eSim and Verizon physical. Both work as designed except for voicemail notification and missed calls. This is on either DSDS line. I can receive calls, pick up voicemail but it won't notify me in the status bar or anywhere else. I've tried pretty much everything out there. Is this a known issue or am I missing something simple?
So I figured out that when I have my esim on Fi and VZW physical sim I don't get VZW vm notifications. If I erase my esim then notifications come thru. Anyone confirm or solution?
edit: Since everyone is so concerned with this issue I'll post the solution. There are a bunch of different notification options in the various programs like Messages and Phone. I was wondering how to change the notification sound in Messages without changing system notification. I was pointed to where you can do that and thought... hmm let me check the phone app. And there was a secondary notification option in the voicemail tab that said "Pop on screen when device is unlocked.. show as a banner on top of screen" That was unticked and when I enabled it the voicemails show up on the notification bar. I'm not sure if it's the default with a single sim but I'm not messing with it any longer.

Hey all,
So I did a search for this and didn't find it, but if I am stupid and just missed it, I appologize in advance.
When I get a voicemail, the notification pops up and I hit dismiss. The notification still stays on the 'desktop' and I can't get to the notiifcation of the missed call.
Is there anyway to actually dismiss the notification of voicemails and reverse the order so that missed calls notification comes up (so that I know who left the possible voicemail)?
Thank you for your help.

you need to tap on the voicemail icon at the tome bar (on the right next to start menu) - this will bring up an extended menubar which you can then tap on the missed calls icon.
or press call button to goto the phone, use the menu opton to view call history.
Yeah, I know of that meathod, but is there anyway to make it the missed call the first default notification?
And also, is there anyway to truly dismiss the notification but let the voicemail notificatin stay up top? On a normal phone, it says you have a voicemail and it lets you use your phone normally after that, not insisting on you checking the voicemail.
Thanks for all your help.
I second the issue!
This is especially severe when one is in Europe and has no intention of checking voicemail until returning to the states (or vice versa, I suppose). I have several times checked voicemail from overseas just to get rid of the notification.
Apparently, the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) has the same issue. I've opened an official ticket with Cingular/HTC and will be posting the replies. I guess this is a WM5 issue, since WM6 fixes the bug. But since there's not official upgrade that fixes the bug, I will stay on their asses until they do. However, since I don't have a Cingular 8125 (Wizard), I can't pursue a fix for that model. Who knows, maybe a patch will fix both models. Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865
i have a notification on the lock screen that i cannot clear. when i slide the icon that looks like a phone open, it brings up the phone app. i've cleared all missed calls but that notification stays on. any idea how do i get rid of it?
Have you tried calling yourself and missing the call then clearing that notification........
yes i have, it isnt a missed call notification. the missed call notification is a different icon. it kinda looks like a voice mail icon but there's no voice mail feature that i can find.
try dialling the generic voicemail number for your network and see if there's anything in your mailbox. Or maybe try restarting manila......

you are right, that is the voice mail icon. what do you mean no voice mail feature (meaning you don't have voicemail?)
the phone will be receiving the voice mail signal from the carrier, you need to dial your voicemail number too find the message, the number will either be in your contacts under voicemail or it will be in the guide that came with your sim card( or phone if bundled).
I cant see your carrier/country so I cant tell you what the number is.
i deactivated the voice mail feature with my carrier so i do not have voice mail. no idea how it came about.
i think it came about when i was overseas using a prepaid sim card. now i'm back home and no longer using the prepaid sim card, but the notification is still there. any way to remove it manually?
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)
Problem: I do not receive any type of voicemail notification (no 9016 text, no voicemail icon in my notification bar, nothing).
About my phone: I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). I am running CM11. I can access my voicemail by holding the "1" in dialer (so I know the number is accurate in the settings). The "Message Wait" indicator option is checked in the voicemail setup. I did try Google Voice for a while (hated it, messed with my text messaging). I uninstalled it from my phone and disabled it via the google.com/voice site. I also cancelled call forwarding (*720) and conditional call forwarding (*38). When I call my voicemail or someone else calls my voicemail, it does go to the sprint voicemail system (I am confident I've severed the connection to Google Voice).
Fixes I've tried with no success: I've tried a few voicemail notification apps from the Play Store that are supposed to work with custom ROMs to "listen" for a voicemail. I've tried leaving myself a voicemail and deleting it. I've checked the Message Wait Indicator button in the settings. I've disabled call forwarding and conditional call forwarding as described above. I've made sure that I have no numbers Blacklisted. I've called Sprint and asked them to reset my voicemail on their end.
I've searched and searched. Most of what I find is 1) Use Google Voice (I tried and hated it); 2) people that have a persistent voicemail notification or 9016 text messages (I have nothing and want something), or 3) people that want Visual Voicemail to work (I don't care about visual voicemail, I just want a notification of some sort that says "Hey you have a voicemail". I don't always have great reception (Sprint is so terrible...but cheap), so I don't always know if I have a missed call.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need more info? Thanks to all of you for your time and all you do on this site; it has helped me tremendously in the past. This is the first time I've been completely stumped after searching and had to post a question.
Is there an app would make my blocked / Reject phone number go away and not show up on my "always on" - "locked screen" - "Home screen pull-down" screens as a missed call. What is the point of blocking/rejecting a call if they keep showing up on my phone??? The only thing I want showing up on my "always on" & "locked" screens is text messages. I'm really hoping I don't have to root to do this. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Well, I know macrodroid app won't work. Just got this from them:
I assume you are talking about a notification. You can use the clear notification action if you want to clear it, but MacroDroid cannot stop your system or other apps from creating notifications.
Not sure what you mean, when I actively reject a call, there isn't any notification, for me it's gone for good and if I want to review it I have to take a look at the call list.
What settings did you use to do that then? On my S7 Edge, once I put a number on rejected list, if they call back again, the little icon still shows up on my "always on", "locked" & "Home pulldown" screens.
I figured this xda forum would have a solution? Guess not...
Have you tried True Caller? Free 3rd party app for blocking unwanted calls, you can blacklist number, you can also block all blocked number, and they maintain a list of spam callers you can automatically block. You can choose to have notifications or no notifications.
I will give it a try!
I emailed truecaller with some questions. Not so sure after seeing one of the reviews:
Please revert back to previous version Double notification for missed call it pathetic for me. I don't want truecaller to handle my call the way it is now. Please revert back to previous version. It was definitely a 5 star application. I don't like truecaller to give me missed call notification. All the android phone by default gives it. Duplicate notification is not at all desirable.
I use Blacklist, does what I need it to do. I don't even notice when the NRA calls me 10 times a day for donations anymore.
You don't get any missed calls notifications on your "always on" , "locked" , "home pulldown" screens?
