it's been asked so many times by now that any of the regulars here in the forum know it by heart. please use the search next time. there are 2 other dedicated threads to this as well as it being mentioned in about 4 others.

Wow, wish I would've known this sooner. When I got my phone on Wed I had the same issue. Did a Google search and nothing. Ended up calling myself and leaving a voicemail. It cleared it afterwards.

i dont have this setting on my phone !!!
you can click on voicemail notification and hear the voicemail ??
i have to call my mailbox to listen to them ???
how can i set this up ???

It should be the 4th item, Settings > Call > Clear voicemail notification.
If not then call your phone and leave a voicemail. And then after you get the notification listen to it from your phone and it should remove the icon.

Being able to turn off the voicemail notification is one of the things about cm7 I miss the most. Seems like I always have a new voicemail notification, but no voicemail.

With Orange UK, this happened to me once in a while with a lot of phones.
The solution was to call the CS centre, and ask them to "reset my mailbox".
THis would clear the problem up in a few mins.

[Q] How Do You Clear Voicemail Notification?

Orange UK does not let you listen to new VM until you have created a personalised greeting. A real problem if you are traveling...
So I finally create a greeting and listen to VM, but notification still there 3 days later. Rubbish.

I'm also on orange. Voicemail notifications kept appearing for me until I would delete the voicemails. Then no more notifications. Not ideal, but eh.

Cool. Common issue actually. I usually clear it by sending myself a voicemail then listening to it and deleting it. That is what was recommended to me. Also what is weird is that when I do listen to it, I have to actually wait for it to say, "there are no more messages" then the notification icon goes away. If I just hang up, it stays.

That worked, thanks!
I don't have that setting on my phone - Samsung Galaxy Nexus
I use google voice too...
I can't get the notification to go away. I have no Google Voice messages, and no messages in my T-Mobile inbox and can't get it to clear... I called support and they keep telling me its a system issue and to wait 8 hours for the past couple days. Really pissin' me off!

ON/OFF Button + VM

How long are you holding the button on top of the phone to turn off/On?
Mine is responding, but alarmingly slow - Like 5 or 6 seconds. Is this normal?
2nd: Voicemail indicator stays up on the notification bar. I keep checking but NO VM's. Recently i signed up for Google Voice and thought that might be the culprit as it is linked to my cellphone...however, nothing in GV either.
Resetting the phone On/Off does nothing.
Thanks
HelloHelloHello!
Is there anybody out there? just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone home?

Wrong spot to post or what?? a Little help would be great!
It varies how long but yeah that's about normal. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 seconds, sometimes it takes 5 or 6 and sometimes it takes multiple tries for me.
And for your voicemail problem, I'd recommend waiting 5 or 6 seconds after you press 7 to delete a voicemail, because usually mine doesn't register it unless I wait.
Regarding the VM issue, using another phone, call yourself and leave a message. Then call in and delete it. As I recall, this should clean/reset the indicator.

What he said. But if it's the TMO voicemail icon, make sure you go into the phone settings and forward your calls to your standard voicemail, call, delete, then reforward to GV.

Thanks for the help. The thing is that i removed the GV voicemail immediately after signing up for the service...in the settings it reflects that fact. Howevver, i tried the suggestions and calls are still going to GV voicemail. The message indicator is still there and neither GV nor Tmob show any messages.

[Q] Notifications go silent on the Skyrocket

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.
The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

Newbie questions about voicemail

Hello,
I'd like to do 2 things but am not sure what to do to improve voicemails for me.
1. When I slide down to see that I have a voice mail, if I select it it prompts me for a password. I'd like it to auto enter it. I can dial my voicemail and have it put in pauses and auto enter my password but it would be much more convenient if I could make the notification icon do that for me. Had that problem with the nexus but was too lazy to do anything about it.
2. When the phone rings, if I ignore it, I still get the default sound afterwards - probably to tell me I have a voicemail. Not much point in having it do a default notification immediately after ignoring a phone call so if I could turn that off, that would be great. My nexus didn't have that - seemed like I had more options for sounds for specific events but that could be faulty wiring in my brain.
Thanks
I figured out the default sound - it was changing between my messaging sound and the default sound.
I'd still like to figure a way to avoid the password prompt in my voice mail.
Not sure as I have never used the default voicemail on my Galaxy S3. I use voicemail through Google Voice. It is much better (In My Opinion) than regular voicemail.

my god thank you!
this has been bugging the sh*t outta me
Using google voice will be your best bet. These are the options you can choose to have using it.
1. You can access your vm via normal calls/prompts
2. You can have your voicemail transcribed and emailed to you
3. You can have your voicemail transcribed and texted to you
4. YOu can choose to do none of the above and just get a notification you have a voicemail and go directly to the google voice website and play your voicemail automatically via web browser.
None of the above requires a password.

Thanks - I understand I can do it if I create a voicemail contact and call voicemail. My goal is to slide down notifications and click on the voicemail icon.
