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!

Here is the Sprint VVM.zip. Thanks to c00ller for that good tip. I'm also adding the Sprint navigation app for anyone who wants it. Enjoy!
Instructions:
Flash it from recovery like a rom, and then use this to block the annoying texts!!!

What launcher are you using? Because this has nothing to do with the power control widget, nor does it affect it in any way.

That is correct. Blacklist the messages and you won't see them or have a notification sound or image in the bar.

The new voicemail showing up on boot is a CM6 issue with some phones. Nothing I can do about that, some phones just have that ghost notification
so i flashed the voicemail zip the other day i got the app. but it doesn't work. If i call my cell phone with another phone it rings and i don't pick up. Than instead of saying you have reached the sprint voicemail box and so on it just says the person you have called is not in service and sometimes it doesn't say anything and just hangs up. Also i put my number in as the voicemail number and if i call voicemail from my phone it takes me there and says to put my passcode in, so its working but not if someone calls me. Why am i having this problem?

This is a first for me. I can't find the actual App so I can click and listen to my Visual Voicemail. Do I have to call to get my messages, or are they downloaded to the phone and I'm just missing where they are?? Thanks.

The app should be there, try flashing again and tell me how it goes.
Handcent - VVM
I have installed the Sprint VVM and Handcent. When I get a voicemail I still get the text message through the messaging app that comes with the rom. So, it does not have a chance to block through Handcent. Any ideas...

In handcent, long press on the text thread from the VVM number. Select blacklist, and the notifications from the messages will stop, along with the thread itself being hidden.
I did that but I still get the messages through the normal messaging not Handcent. Do I have to do this in a certain order? I have tried rebooting the phone. I had someone text me to see where the message would come to and it shows up in Handcent but the notification in the notification bar takes me to the normal messaging not Handcent.
Can you disable the stock messaging in the rom?
Thanks,
David

Go into your messages app, hit menu, options, and then uncheck notifications. That way you don't get 2 notifications for every message, you only get handcent's.
there is a voicemail notification on my notification bar and I have tried every possible thing to get rid of it and it does not to go away. I have checked in the voicemail and they I have no new messages or saved messages.
can anyone tell me how to remove the little notification because it's really annoying and It's bothering me. Any solutions?
and no I do not have google voice so it is not that .

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.
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.
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.

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.
I cannot seem to find a rom that doesn't alert me of fictitious voicemails. I have zero messages and get it won't go away. I have tried stopping the phone process and that does clear the notification but only for 30 seconds or so. Its quite annoying. Does anyone on sprint know of or is currently running a rom that doesn't do this?

I'm on sprint and I have not gotten one system alert for voicemails. When I get a voicemail I get a blank text message from a 4 digit number. Is that way on stock and every rom ive tried.

I've actually never even seen the notification for voicemail on the 3 nexus5s I've used. First was defective second I broke 3rd still the same. Voicemail just sends me a blank text. Can't remember if I've actually even set up my voicemail, It might still be at all defaults with no greeting and just my number. I've read of several people with the same problems so i haven't messed with mine cause i like it how it is.

Supposedly, this update fixed the voicemail but that was a trecherous lie. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-to-kot49h-today-but-what-happened-to-kot49e/
Two options at this point in time:
1) Get Cyanogenmod 11 M2 (or nightlies), this will allow you to swipe dismiss the notification. Another option is to take out the /system/app/phone.apk from the CM11 M2 ROM and put it in your stock ROM to get the swipe dismiss.
2) Hold down the VM notification and goto App Info and force close. (dont need to delete data nedjo67)
It will stay at 2 messages at any time. It basically is broken. You can use google voice to get REAL notifications that actually work but it will still show the broken voice mail notification.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I complained about this a while ago but Sprint does not think its a priority? Best place to get Sprint to fix it is to go on twitter and tell @sprintcare about your problem. Also make sure you tell @sprintcare that you are on the newest update or they will recommend you upgrade (not an actually solution for us, duh). The more people to harass @sprintcare, the better.
