I'm opening this thread as a place where we can get a few of us together and hopefully work on creating some patches to fix these 2 bugs.
As a background, when running an AOSP based ROM:
1. You will always receive a voicemail notification regardless of whether or not one is present or not. Additionally, this happens when using Google Voice. It appears that a flag is stuck somewhere despite setting the Voicemail app to Google Voice.
**FIXED SEE UPDATE** 2. Using the Stock Messaging App, it is unable to properly split the messages into 160 character segments. The message, after a few minutes, simply fails to send.
Both of these should be happen regardless of whether one runs CM6 or AOSP 0.x.x as it happens in all ROMs that are built from scratch. Thus, our build environment should not be limited to any one particular ROM provided it is an AOSP ROM. That said, while my phone is running AOSP 0.9.7, I will be debugging using the Master Branch of the Android Repository (Running OSX 10.6)
As in all development threads, people need to have fairly extensive programming experience (C and Java). While testing is appreciated, *please do not post in this thread offering assistance*.
Hopefully we can fix these 2 things that continue to persist.

Edit: I have the SMS 160 character problem fixed. Here is the URL. Use ./adb remount and ./adb push to install the updated Mms.apk and reboot. Mms.apk

Just letting you know that I don't have any of these issues.

Just letting you know I don't have any issues. Why don't you just run CyanogenMOD6 lol?
agreed about cm6.
plus how can you label this thread a DEV thread when you havent even started developing anything yet?

You can remove the phantom voicemail icon in CM6?
I know sprint VVM works but idk about the notification ever going away for good

Well I just never had a phantom voicemail in CM6 ever since I've been using it. Have you guys tried removing VVM and using Google Voice?
Yeah, no issues here with those on CM 6.1.0
I've never had an issue with phantom voicemail notifications using Google Voice. However, I did have an issue with autosplit on SMS. Last time I tried to send a text that required to be split into 2 texts, it failed to send. I haven't tried it recently though.

Yeah, that's just an AOSP limitation
I dont have the phantom VM in either CM or AOSP. I get rid of the 9016 Text by using Super Private Conversation (an older version than on the market). Also my texts split already. But instead of 160 characters, it splits using the GSM standard of 140. My phone has always split the texts at 140 regardless if I'm running stock sense or a custom ROM.

160 characters should be easy to circumvent with a (albeit trivial description) simple conditional that:
A. Creates a new message with the same parameters specified in the first one.
B. Checks to ensure that this happens upon hitting 160 characters
It shouldn't hard.
I'm not sure about all the people not getting the Phantom Voicemail notification. I have had it on every single AOSP based ROM I have flashed. Numerous other people do as well.

What makes you think I haven't. I have the entire Android source code, have successfully built it, and am currently sifting through lines of code trying to find where the affected areas are.
My phone is running AOSP 0.9.7 and I have duplicated both problems with CM6, CM6 Nightlies, and CM6.1. With regards to the Phantom Voicemail, the only known workaround is to use Handcent and Sprint VVM and blacklist the 2 messages that you receive containing the VVM info.

The problem should occur when using Google Voice only. The 9016 is the "push" that Sprint does to the Sprint VVM and is normally consumed by Sprints version of VVM.
I forgot that the 9016 isn't the Phantom part and that the "Voicemail Notification" when using GV is. I'll fix the OP.

Also remember that Sprint uses a rather odd system for Voicemail on Android phones. There is 2 seperate places where the Voicemail is saved. They must both be deleted to get rid of the notification. Meaning you have to call 2 seperate number. Your regular Sprint VM (own number) and another number... cant remember off the top of my head tho.

(As far as i know this only works on Sprint)
This was discussed long ago, and i got my sms messages to stop by doing my old reply quoted below: (it just won't stop the VM icon from appearing)
It's also been said, you can switch your account to another phone, activate it, clear out all your messages, then switch your account back to your phone. That will solve your Ghost VM Icon.

I've heard different results about that method, also if you don't have two phones it doesn't really help out at all. Don't mistake what I'm saying as an insult or knocking your method. I just know there's a way to fix this issue we just haven't found it yet
If you stop the SMS Messages, I'm not sure how the Sprint VVM knows how to pull the messages from the server. Regardless, that is something that will happen when using any non-Sprint based ROM unless we modify the stock messaging app to consume those messages.
The Voicemail Notification when using something other than Sprint VVM; however, has no known solution yet.
-Kevin
The "phantom" voicemail notification is different from the SMS messages from Sprint. This is a change made in the Message Waiting state in the android system which triggers a notification "New Voicemail Dial..."
I use CM6 and Google Voice and still get the notification, along with others from the CM6 forums.
I created an issue here with CM6:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2507
Please star or comment to help get this looked into.
In your google voice settings (web login) go to: settings->voice settings->calls(tab). On the very bottom, uncheck "Place missed calls in the inbox".
Perhaps this is the "phantom" voice you are referring to?

Kevin I use to run CM6 then switched to Jaybob's then back to CM6 RC1. Tried some nightlies but after the RC1 experience I have been running AospMod for a while. I haven't used sprints VVM since running damages sense 2.1 roms who knows how long ago and I have never had a phantom voicemail on any Froyo ROM. I have seen various people talk about it but I not even sure what it would look like? Just an FYI

That's so weird. I'm not sure what the explanation is in that case.
As far as what it looks like, the phone will alert you on start up as well as when you switch towers that you have a Voicemail and to dial the number that was set (Even if you aren't using a number as you are using Google Voice).
Even if you call the number, there is nothing there. You can clear the notification every time, but it will just come back.
If anyone has the Master Branch made with gmake, the NotificationMgr.java seems to be contain part of the code for the phantom voicemail; however, it looks to call a method that is returning the wrong value (I haven't been able to debug it yet).
At the same time, it seems like the block of code in NotificationMgr.java that concerns the VM notifications is called after determining that there is a notification, so I'm still somewhat stumped.

I have both the SMS and the VM issue on both CM6 and DDv2.8. I just reverted back to DD b/c I find it runs a lot faster on my HeroC.
I would love to get a fix for both of these issues! Good job starting a thread!
When I access my voice mail it says I don't have any voice message but voice mail notification won't disappear from notification bar.. help me please!
Could anyone help me out?
easy fix. This is an initial bug with the nexus s and android 2.3.
Just have someone (or yourself on another phone) leave you a voicemail message, check your voicemail on your nexus s, delete the message, and the icon will go away shortly after that.
Hope this helps.
P.S.
Do a search next time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876461&highlight=voicemail+icon
I had this happen to me a couple of times when I first got the NS. Then I downloaded the T-Mobile Visual Voice app from the market, and no problems since.

Could you delete that visual voice app afterwards? I'm currently using GV. I deactivated and followed the instruction on other XDA thread but it didn't work for me.

Thank you this worked. I had to disable GV.
Hey everyone, i am looking for some help with setting up my voicemail.
I have the inspire 4g with att, its rooted and running cm7 as of right now. on this rom and the stock with root i cannot set up my voicemail to use google voice. i cant even set it up in general, actually. when i go into settings and tell it to use google voice, it tries to load for a second, then says something about forwarding settings or something then kicks me out. (does this on stock rom and CM7)
does anyone have a solution? id like for my phone to not just ring and ring and ring and ring... you get it
thanks in advance for the help!
Did you set up google voice on your computer? It has the full instructions there. That's how I got it to work on my inspire.

am i the only one who has this problem?
Bump, cause i still cant get the darn thing to work. I have tried everything i know how, but nothing is helping....
Hey guys, so I just realized that I don't get voicemail....Now it's been months since I rooted and started flashing roms (July 2012) but I'm pretty sure that's what did it. I don't get many voicemails as I primarily just text alot, however as I was setting up AT&T Visual Voicemail (just to try it. The voice to text seems interesting) on Embryo 6.1, I called from my house phone and left a test message. It didn't show up in VV so I tried the normal, call voicemail and see if it's there, it says no messages. Tried again from my brother's cell (he has a skyrocket too, but it's not rooted, stock ICS). Still no messages. He receives voice mails no problem, and we are on the same family plan. I remember when I was on stock GB, I had voicemails, so is anyone else have issues after rooting and such, and is there a fix I can look into? Thanks.

try stock, if it still doesnt work call att
I was curious if anyone else with Verizon had a problem in the stock phone app not being able to read your visual voicemail. After I get a voicemail the only time I can read it it's for a few seconds when I get the notification at the top of the phone. When you go into open the app all you can do is listen to them. I tried a bunch of different Google dialers which worked but no voicemail works with any of them.

I kind of got it working on the havoc ROM. Every now and then it says starting visual voicemail. But it's working
I am stock. Visual Voicemail has worked with my Verizon sim since day one for me.
Wth is visual voicemail? My first real smartphone
Visual Voicemail from Verizon essentially lists the voicemails you have on your account. It will typically list them in the dialer you are using. Instead of having to dial out and check your messages, you can simply click on it in the list. You can manage them that way too. One step further is having Visual Voicemail to Text which has the actual message transcribed into the feed so that you can read it versus listening to it.
I prefer using Google voice for vm you free transcripts texted to you
I think OP is talking about voicemail to text as I was having the same exact issue. It is really annoying. Especially when you have to pay $2.99/mo for the transcription.

Anyone else, same thing happens to me. The notification has the transcript so I know it's "somewhere" but can't ever see it.
This is actually comprised of two underlying issues.... see my breakdown here:
