I don't seem to get any sort of notification for voicemails except from visual voicemail, which doesn't work unless I'm data or wi-fi connected.
Is there any way of fixing this?

Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it?

uninstall visual voicemail
Nvm a bloke on the T-Mobile forums was kind enough to answer this question for me.
Seems like you just have to clear the data and cache from the visual voicemail app and you'll start getting normal notifications without data or wifi again. Oddly though if you uninstall the visual voicemail app you won't get any notifications at all.
ahhh thk you man. I was punching myself as i couldn't figure out why i wasn't getting any notifications of voicemails. I flashed a rom that didn't have the visual voicemail installed. Installing it now, and hopefully it fixes this issue!
I know this is old but I can confirm that not having Visual Voicemail was the culprit in my case of the voicemail alert not showing up on my phone. I have titanium backup installed and decided I'd uninstall non-useful/used apps that came stock with the phone. Of course, I didn't realize at the time this was the reason why my voicemail icon no longer appeared and I had 15 voicemails waiting for me :O. Anyway, good catch Yangorang.

Gmail, hit menu > more > settings > your account name > labels to notify > setup each label you want to change the notification for.
If you're using t-mobile voicemail you cannot change the sound. I dunno if you can if you're using visual voicemail.
I use Google Voice for voicemail, and that app, I can change the notification sound for.

I have searched and searched so please dont flame me.
I love this Damage Control ROM.
Everything is perfect with the exception of voicemail.
I have no icon. The only way to check it is to call my cell number and go thru that process. Which is not convieient.
What am I missing? Everything is perfect with that exception.
I am on Sprint if that helps.
Should I update my radio? Mine is stock.
Does it need the newest radio flash to work properly?
Thanks for any help.
none of the 2.1 roms support sprints visual voicemail you need to use google voice or some other app like you mail.
and is it really that hard to to long press on 1 to check your VM?
No offense, But you must have not read or searched hard enough. But the visual voicemail doesnt work with any of the 2.1 roms on sprint.
As far as I know there arent any 2.1 sprint leaks, so no VVM until then.
And to get rid of the notification saying you have one. Just goto Settings -> Call -> Clear Voicemail Notification
I can't even get to my voicemail by dialing my number... how do I get my voicemail through GV?
yes.. you do need to search a little harder...
First..
Find the app "voice".. it has a phone on it.

There is not a fix until the Sprint rom comes out.
I have been using Google Voicemail. It actually works better than sprint visual voicemail. You will also get the transcription with it.

I dont use the handcent as the describe in here but its easy to figure out.
Oh yeah, if you want to use the sprint voicemail by pressing "1" you just have to change your voicemail service, Menu/settings/Call/Voicemail settings and then put your number. You will still get the text of a voicemail with the error but you will know you have voicemail

Try YouMail or Google Voice. It is much better than the visual voice from sprint.

i've been using "Better You Mail", i've had no issues with it and it works as expected..
Using HulloMail and it's working great. I couldn't take the Sprint/Google integration of Voice myself.

I didn't have that problem. The thing I hated was having to switch between Voice for SMS and regular Messaging app for MMS. I wouldn't mind the integration if Voice handled MMS as well.
I've found that using a third party VVM (HulloMail) app and uninstalling Voice is a great setup, IMO. I also tried Visual Voicemail Plus from the market, but I kept getting two messages for every one left for me. HulloMail is great. The only thing I really miss from Voice is having voice to text sent to me. A lot of the time I'm at a client site and can't listen to messages but can read them.
You have to skip integration when you set up Google Voice.

I also would like a way of getting Sprint's VVM working.
I tried Google Voice for awhile and ending up having serious problems with it.
If there is a way to get Sprint's VVM working, thatd be great!
spoke to Sprint advanced level support today and there was nothing they could do for me.
The way VVM works is that a text message comes in from 9016 that the VVM app picks up and then it goes out to download the voicemail. Without that text message coming in, the app will not know to retrieve any messages.
When I loaded my first cynogen rom on my htc hero, my account wasn't provisioned correctly and they weren't sending the text message anymore. I had called into advance tech support and they reset my voicemail to make it work again.
Now, on my Nexus S, I have the app loaded and it even sent back a text message saying it provisioned correctly. I guess the problem is that sprint knows I have a nexus and because of that, my account is on a different "platform" now. That platform does not utilize the messaging system for VVM and thus the notification does not come to my phone letting the VVM app know there is a voicemail to retrieve.

Thanks for the tip about Youmail. I wish I heard of this earlier. This is by far the best replacement for Sprint VVM. I hate Google Voice where it always shows you your SMS messages.
I tried Better Youmail at first since it seemed to get better market reviews. It was driving my nuts how when you put the phone in airplane mode it keeps telling you how it can't connect and I couldn't find a way to turn that off.
So I tried the regular Youmail and that worked great so I don't get the "can't connect" messages, and I could easily find a way to turn of the additional text and email notifications. There's two versions of regular Youmail on the market. The one I like best is the Youmail EOL (end of life?). The interface is black and simple just like Sprint VVM which I love.
The only thing that isn't perfect it has ads and suggestions to sign up for message transcriptions every time you play your VM. Youmail Pro disables the ads but it's $20 per year, and who knows what it looks like.
Youmail wasn't as nice and reliable as I thought.
I gave Google Voice another try and it no longer shows new SMS messages. I just installed it from market and didn't do any special Sprint integration. Not quite sure what I did or why it was so easy to turn off the SMS integration this time, but I really like it now: SMS on the messaging app, and VVM via Google Voice only, no dual notifications, no SMS going to Google Voice.

Thanks for the tips. After an hour of screwing around with the 2 Nexuses (Nexi???) in my house, sending dummy texts and VM's back and forth, I finally got it straightened out.
For those starting from scratch on a new phone:
1) If you have a VM notification on your taskbar, log into sprint voicemail once the old fashioned way, or else the notification will never go away. once it does go away...
2) Install updates to google voice from market
3) Launch GV, skip the integration step (or else SMS will be hijacked), set all the minimalist (my term) options in GV... don't let it make calls, etc... ONLY use it for VM's (I had to call a special *28 number for config but it might be because my GV #is different from sprint#... although in the end that is transparent to people calling my sprint # which was my goal).
4) In GV settings in your phone, turn on taskbar notification, but turn off SMS notification. In GV settings on PC at google.com/voice, turn off SMS notification AND email notification... but leave on transcripts (my preference... this is one place where GV is superior to sprint VVM... getting transcripts is pretty damn cool!)
When all is said and done, it seems to be mostly equivalent to old Sprint VVM, actually slightly better with the addition of transcripts as said above. My SMS works 100% normal. I don't have a lot of real world use yet, but from my tests the GV for voicemails only seems like it will work great.

According to Sprint it is not possible to provision the Nexus S 4G to the Sprint Visual Voicemail system. Choices are GV and regular voicemail.

By "stock," you actually mean "Sprint," which isn't really stock in the sense of Google stock or Android stock.
Give GV a chance, you will see it has everything the Sprint app had and more.
Oh, no, I actually like GV myself. The only problem is I'm having an issue missing phone calls with my NS4G, and I'm thinking GV might be to blame.

That sucks. Hasn't happened to me yet.
Ironically it DID happen from time to time on my old Moment, which DID use the Sprint VVM.
Since I haven't been able to get my Google Voice set up with this device for some reason, I decided to set up visual voicemail through AT&T's "Messages" app. I had called 611 to figure out why GV wasn't working and the rep pointed me to this app. So far, it seems to work fine EXCEPT it also grabs my text messages and missed calls.
I'd rather not have two notification for every missed call (yes, it pops something in the notification bar for missed calls, as does the standard phone app). At this point, I don't even care which one is going to track them, I just want to turn one of their notifications off! Has anyone figured out a way to do that? Or, alternately, is there another way to access my AT&T visual voicemail without their messages app?

You can set-up google voice here is how to do it.
Go on to google.com/voice and go into settings.
Click activate your phone, and follow the instructions (it will tell you to type in a code on the Dialer).
Then, install the google voice app, and run through the set-up, you will fail on the configuring voicemail steps but thats okay.
Call 611 (ATT Technical support) and have them manually change your voice-mail number to your google voice number.
Done. Enjoy google voice as voicemail. The app will work as intended.

I have Google voice only to be voicemail; I don't currently use it for any calls. It looks like my Voice call-in number is a generic voicemail call-in number (although tbh I haven't tried calling that number to see what happens). Is that the number that I'd give AT&T?
Yes you give them your Google Voice number (you had to set one up when you got google voice)
If you go to https://www.google.com/voice#phones
You should see listed your google voice number, and your phone that you need to activate.

I tried this, and now cannot receive any calls. I think that the number that's shown there is a generic voicemail only mail. Going to try setting up a google voice number and do it again.
Edit to add: OK, I set myself up with a brand spanking new google voice number, had to monkey around on my phone a bit in "call" settings in the settings menu to fix my call forwarding. I repeated the steps, but didn't have to call AT&T again and everything is working goodly now.
I had sprint before I got my One X. Google Voice was set up just fine on that phone, but I want to have it on my One X now.
When I go to www.google.com/voice#phones I see my phone number but the carrier is listed as Sprint. Should I just change it to AT&T? Then run through the app setup? Not sure what to do here...

Has anybody found an answer for this?
Did you guys see this topic?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
It's the Visual Voicemail app that other android LTE phones use (Vivid, Skyrocket).
Caveat: Since you added att messages, you will need to uninstall it first, and then call AT&T and ask them to revert you to basic voicemail. When you call your voicemail, you notice the voice prompts have changed from before, yes? That switched you to a different VM system incompatible with the old VVM app.
When I called, they switched me to LTE without VVM - i was able to just change from my online account back to regular LTE (with vvm) and install the app and voicemail was all setup and I was ready to go. I'm not sure if asking them to switch you to "old" vvm would work, their system might only show that you have VVM already.
This aforementioned app does voicemails only.
Think I figured it out. My voicemail notification wasn't going away so I went to settings call clicked voicemail service made sure my network was checked then I clicked on clear voicemail notification and it went away.
I had this problem when I first got my device. I understand that this can happen with many Android devices under different circumstances. Best thing to do is use another phone, call your device, leave a voicemail, then clear it. The notification icon will unglitch. Seems you already fixed this though
Yeah I tried that a few times but didn't work. Don't know thanks tho. Just thought it may help someone.

I had that problem too but it didn't work when I called my voicemail through that phone. So I did leave a short voicemail but I access my voicemail from a different phone and deleted the message. After that the voicemail notification went away for me
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 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.
