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 know I know..
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.

thats strange
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

yes it is
just recieved my phone today. Everything looks awesome except I cant get rid of the New Voicemail Notification on the status bar. It always says that there is a new voicemail and when I click and call to my voicemail, it says there is no voicemail. I did a factory reset and followed the quick set up on the first boot. I changed my voicemail service to my google voice and I also tried the T-mobile visual voice service and still cant get rid of the damn notification. I even called the tmo tech support and they couldnt figured it out. When I put my sim card back to my vibrant, it doesnt have the notification there. Any other suggestions?
I had this happen to me a long time ago...I think what I did was reset my voice mail back to t-mobile, then I called and left myself a voice mail...then called in to check my voice mails, and deleted the mail I just left, and the icon went away.
Not sure if it will work for you, but probably worth a try...
yes yes i did the samething
Thanks guys, it worked!
I figured this out this morning too. All i did was leave myself a voicemail and it cleared immediately.
Hello all Xda'ers,
First of all, I am deaf and I was put on a special data plan that is customized for the hard of hearing and deaf subscribers. When I first got my NS4G, I got that voicemail icon as soon as I walked out of Sprint store. I should have went back to talk to the rep but I was late for work.
With that said, since May 8th, I still have that icon and I have been looking for solutions to remove it. I have searched this site as well as other sites for any remedies but with no avail. I do have Google Voice and have had GV set to use my current phone number so the voicemail can be ported over then I disabled GV after 20 minutes and the voicemail icon is STILL THERE!!!
I even tried Youmail and my heart jumped when it said I had one voicemail message and I was like YES! but then it was the youmail voicemail, probably greeting and congratulating me for installing youmail on my phone, because I saw what the message was and deleted it, but nope, VM icon is still there...
I have read somewhere, where you power down the phone, take the battery out for 30 seconds then put it back and power back on and it should be gone. Well, I did that and even waited 5 minutes and as soon as my homescreen came up, bam! voicemail icon appears. I told my Sprint rep that I can't remove it and he said something that struck me as odd. He said the NS4G has a visual voicemail and I should be able to remove it with no problem. I searched everywhere on the phone and couldn't find it. He said he got the same phone, even bought it right after selling me and my wife the phones. I emailed back and haven't heard from him since so...
I really don't want to put a ROM on this phone, probably because I have been putting it off since but other than putting a ROM on my phone, is there a solution to finally get that VM icon off?
Oh, to add, I have had my hearing friend call my voicemail for me, but he said that the automated response was something like, "This is no longer in service, the number you are trying to dial does not exist" or something like that, but he was NOT able to access my voicemail at all.
Sorry if this has been resolved elsewhere, but I had searched everywhere on this forum as well as all over the Internet as you can tell, it took me since May 8th to finally give up and post this on Xda, but why? You all are awesome!
I'm having this problem too ever since we got my wife the mytouch 4g slide. The CSR told me that I needed a new sim card. We put it in my NS and there is the icon.
I'm currently trying to put it back on T-Mobile voicemail service and calling my line from my work cell. It went to my GVoice so far so I guess I need to leave it for longer.
Pyro,
Since you are on Sprint I may have a solution. I also have this happen once in a while. After spending much time on the phone with Sprint here is their solution. Go to a land line phone and call your cell. Let it go to voice mail, give it a couple of minutes. Now on your cell go to your voice mail. You should have the message you left yourself. Listen to it all the way through and only press "7" to delete the message after the system prompts you to. After deleting the message hang up. The voice mail notification should disappear. This is a known Sprint problem, according to Sprint. If this doesn't work, take your phone to a Sprint repair center.
Good luck.
I just re-read your post. If your problem is the same as mine, you may have to have a hearing friend do this. I am not sure what Sprint may have installed on your phone to make it more usable for you.
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?
Running ICBINB.
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.
First of all I just want to say THANKS to everyone in my last thread. Especially iPWNtehNOOB for the heads up on the replacement program. Got my new phone set up and my poor broken baby goes back today.
Anyway I have dealt with this persistent voice mail notification on all my android phones. For some reason since I use google voice as my voicemail carrier it somehow once ever few months bugs out and ATT thinks I have a VM on their system causing the notification in the banner. The only way I have perm figured out how to remove it is to call ATT and have them clear my VM. If I disable GV and manually go in there are no VMs in my inbox. And all my GV voicemails are already read.
I can go into the dialer/phone setting and clear the cache and info in them but that only removes it temp.
Anyone else ever get this, is there a way to really get rid of it?
It will even travel across phones as I was using my old S4 for the past week and it popped up as soon as I turned it on.
Thanks
