Hi!
I had the need to drop a friend's SIM into my Treo 750 in order to access some numbers stored on it. Sadly she had voicemails waiting to be listened to on her account, which generated the voicemail icon on the top line of the Treo together with the "Voicemail" soft-button.
Now I've gone back to my own SIM and they're still there! Even a soft-reset doesn't remove them. I've tried selecting "Voicemail > Listen" many times without success.
Is there a registry key I can clear which tells the Treo I've no voicemails?
TIA,
Steve

What you can try is calling your phone from another phone and leaving another voicemail message. Then from your phone, call and erase it. After you erase it, don't hang up - just press ** and it will hang up for you.
This has worked for me in the past.
If not, you might have to hard reset the phone. Its not that bad, I have done it twice.

I have a Ipaq 514 with wm 6.0 for a couple of days now and allready found a bug which really annoys me...
I can not seem to keep my sim contacts hidden, i tried:
settings -> phone -> call options -> Show SIM contacts (unchecked)
registry editor:
HKCU>ControlPanel>Phone>
Set Dword Value "ShowSIM to 0" if does not have dword value create it.
This both works, but only for a while, when i reboot the device or even when i check my email, the sim contacts show up again
For my Tytn II i have a cab file: KaiserSimFix.cab that hides the contacts.
Is there a simmular solution for smartphones?
Delete the SIM contacts and store them on the mobile? I have too many contacts with multiple numbers to store on SIM anyways. Back them up regularly and sync it with AS.
Also, ensure that you are setting the registry key, waiting about 20s and then soft resetting for it to stick.

Thanks but i dont want to delete them from my sim, i allways put my contact both on sim and in the phone to sync with outlook.
Also i tried resetting after the registry tweak but that doesnt make any differance.
But is this a common thing on smartphones or is it just my ipaq? because i also have a old wizard with wm6.0 that doesnt have that problem...
I have managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contacts list. However when I create a new SMS it brings up the sim contacts as well as the phone book which is really annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Afraid not sorry, but I'd be interested to hear how you managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contact list
I've tried editing the reg. and AC 3.2 but it still dosen't work
Registry settings works only until reboot for me :-(
try this little cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1769534&postcount=2
this is the only thing that survives a reset
it's called kaisersimfix, but it'll work just fine on any device
Thanks, it works. (so far)
Excellent will give that a go also, have been trying everything with this one
Greetings, all;
I am having a problem with my unlocked Treo that is driving me batty. The device "forgets" some of my contacts when I am composing an SMS.
The contacts never actually dissapear from the phonebook, and I can always start an SMS from the Contacts page, but when I start typing a name in the "To' line on the new SMS page, some names are just not there anymore.
It's never the same name, and doing a soft reset corrects the problem... for about a day.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks for the advise!

I would suggest that you backup your contacts using some free program such as TCB (total contacts backup) or PPC Contacts backup. Just back them up into a file in a folder in the phone or storage card. Then go back to the program and try to restore the contacts and choose the option of overwriting the existing contacts.
Also if you are referring to the drop down list when you choose list of contacts. Keep in mind that the list is only for people you have texted before, this not a list of contacts reflecting the phone book
yes.
i also have this same problem.
it seems like there are limited contact that showed in messaging box.
For example,
i have 20 contacts whose name is started from letters : "Sa"
but when i type "Sa" in the destination number on messaging box,
it is limited only to 10 contacts which is started from letters "Sa".
So the next 10 contacts is not showed up.
is there any possibility to tweak on registry to expand this limit ?
Pls help...
thanks a lot !

i had the same issue as well.....one contact wasn't showing up.
2 things. make sure that that contact's number has been saved as his/her mobile number, not home or anything.
secondly, just restart or something. the problem went away for me later.
Actually, the missing contacts issue happens in many application. And the search results depends randomly.
For example, I got 2 "Sherry" in my contacts from OutLook in my PC. And pretty aware that I keep the phone number in the right field.
Type Sherry in Today, I got 2 Sherry listed.
Type Sherry in Contacts, I got nothing.
Thpe Sherry in SpeedDial Setting(Link to Contacts), I got nothing.
Type Sherry in To field in New Message, I got 2 again!?!?
Very unpredictable!!! And different name will yield very different results.
Customer Rep from Palm suggest me to do a Hard Reset. But I don't think it will help, however I'll try it.
Hoping to get the solution here!!! Thanks in advance.
The wired search result is gone after I upgrade my Treo750 from WM6 to WM6.1 with a Special Cooked ROM(Build 19199).
After the upgrade, my data had been synced from OutLook again. I'm not sure whether ROM upgrade or data sync did resolve the problem.
Anyway, I'm happ again with my Treo750 again!!

Wired things again................
Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.
Hello!
I've recently bought a second hand O2 XDA Orbit 2 and am using it with my Orange SIM. Up to now I haven't had any problems as the phone is unlocked.
I've just had a voicemail message which I listened to and deleted, but I still have the notification on my phone. I've tried everything to get rid of it: rebooted, gone back into voicemail but nothing helps.
I had the standard O2 WM6.0 installed and I've just upgraded to the standard O2 WM6.1 version. The voicemail notification is still there which seems to imply Orange are still sending the notification to the phone. Does that make sense?
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
TIA
Install HushSMS and send an MWI Disable message to your own phone
Thanks for the advice. I have looked at the HushSMS application and think I know what it is doing!
Does MWI Disable just remove that one instance of the voicemail notification or will it stop all further notifications?
I've also thought I should check if the notification appears if I put the SIM in another phone. If it does then the problem is with Orange and not the phone.
I'll let you know how I get on.
I put my SIM in an old Nokia and this said I still had a voicemail, so it was Orange that was incorrectly telling me I had a voicemail. So I left another voicemail for myself and then deleted it. The notification went away.
So no problem with the phone. Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
This is a same issue in Telcel Mexico. It seems that the format of the message that is sent to delete the MWI (Message Waiting Icon) is not standard, so windows mobile does not recognize it and display it as an empty message.
I also use Hush SMS and it works fine, but remember first to listen and delete your voice mail and then delete the MWI... If you delete the MWI without deleting the VoiceMail.. it will still live in the server and next time it registers in a different phone the MWI will appear.
So far, the solution of Hush SMS has worked fine for me. Of course I also told the people close to me not to leave me a Voicemail and preferably send an SMS.
Regards,
JM
I can't reset the voicemail indicator on my Fuze. I've called voicemail and gone through the prompts but the system says that I have no messages in my inbox.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jack
a soft reset should solve it
HI.
If the softreset does not work. they way i found to clear mine is to connect to voice mail and make sure theres no messages and discount. you may have to do this more than once. but it should then clear the message
Frequently get the same problem on t-mob uk - i assumed it was their system not clearing the notice. The only way i found to clear it was:
Go into voicemail - delete everything
phone your mobile, leave yourself a voice mail
go into voicemail, listen to & delete the message you left yourself
Indication clears everytime for me
