Just thought this would be a good idea for all of us having voicemail problems.
Post solutions and comments on developing a fix here instead of clogging up the cyanogen thread.
PS the spiicytuna method posted on page one of cyanogen does nothing to fix the 9016 issue.

Call the number included in the text you get. It will ask you if you have a sms voivemail phone or smth. Press one for no, and you stop getting the texts.

Tried that. You get a new text telling you to call a certain number to retrieve your voice mail.
Blacklist the number?
One way around it
Well. It seems you can go to Sprint and block the text message at the source. Just log into your account and add them to your block list.
Will have a voice mail sent to me and see if it works. I've read in other forums that it can take a month to work.

Update: Blocking 9016 did NOT work. My VVM updates, but I still get the annoying texts.
Any suggestions?
im not sure what that 9016 issue is but i do have a voicemail notification issue so i will speak of that
the sms you receve can be avoided while messing with ur settings in google voice online... when u click edit on ur mobile number there are options to uncheck sms notifications as well as transcriptions.. mess with ur settings and that fixes that issue, now onto the annoying one...
the way that i have figured out how to temporarly remove the icon is to flash whatever the latest nightly build is using rom manager and the use the option to wipe and adding the google apps, i then wait for my phone to reboot and let rom manager do its thang then as soon as i put in all my gmail information i wait till the menu starts to pop up then quickly press menu, call settings, voicemail number then change that *86 to my 10 digit phone number then press okay then i quickly change my carrier to google voice then go through all of those settings quickly till i click finish then press okay even though i may get that error that says something like my carrier doesnt support google voice or whatever it is then i go back to the carrier option and even though google voice is already selected i click google voice again and it tells me that my number has changed... no more voicemail notification UNTIL i reboot my phone, so any new fix that maybe come out involving any other issue i choose to ignore if it means that i have to reboot my phone... also a good thing to know is once u have success of finally getting rid of the icon whenever a new build is released just install it using rom manager once again but this time DO NOT select the wipe option and rom manager will install the latest build without the voicemail icon and all ur settings will be good to go right after the install however the same rules still apply, one u reboot it will come back, so after installing the latest build just dont wipe and dont reboot after all is said and done...
even though some tard thinks me mentioning *86 as the issue is me "wasting bandwidth" i feel that that is where the issue is.. this is the only rom that i have to change the carrier settings right off the bat instead of defaulting to our sprint voicemail... im not saying im *****ing about the issue in any way but this is an issue ive been having so i thought i would mention that...
now onto things ive tried that never worked....
ive tried just keeping my sprint number as the default but that never works, my only solution has been changing to google voice quickly...
ive called myself exactly 10 times and left myself voicemail messages, then after installing the latest nightly ive change to my voicemail number to sprints and deleted all 10 msgs and that did nothing...
ive gone into the application settings and deleted the phone data cache then quickly change to google voice without success, even after changing the settings i quickly pulled my battery and then started my phone so that it would default to googlevoice and still nothing...
since rom manager has worked for me as a temp fix ive tried doing all the same stuff using ar recovery doing all wipes and whatever else is possible without success, rom manager is the only one that works for me so i just stick to that...
and for those that say the google voice is too hard to setup its really not, just quit being lazy and do ur initial setup through google.com/voice and get urself a number and play with ur settings in there and when ur done with that then start the tutorial up top
i never had this issue until went from a cm6 nightly to zenfx2.2 to update my prl then I nandroided back and now i get these texts every 5 min
I think you guys should think of using Google Voice... Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is a Sprint VVM problem right?

I don't like Google Voice... It doesn't give me anything I want. I shouldn't have to get Google Voice to fix a silly problem.

My phone keeps saying "fresh" over and over again and won't turn on. I am running stock froyo android CM6.0.
Can you help?
Maybe I need to update my PRI.

Problem with google voice is that it sometimes disconnects for no reason. I was using it and had to change because it kept dropping me and people would tell me my voicemail did not work.
I'd be cool with G-Voice if it did not do this.

This is just an educated guess and not a statement of fact, but having run the Fresh ROM in the past, it sounds like at some point you flashed your phone with the Fresh ROM, and then maybe flashed back to CM6 but forgot to wipe everything?
When the Fresh ROM boots up, it does indeed say, "Fresh!", so if you're stuck in a boot loop with that ROM's data, you could hear "Fresh!" repeatedly and your phone not start up.
I would go to recovery, do the full factory reset wipe, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then do your nand-restore or reflash of CM6, google apps, etc.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you for your time,
I would try to just wipe the dalvik and cache first and only do a factory reset if that doesn't work.

I may try it again, as I did not mind G-Voice. But it had happened a few different times. Now I admit I have not tried it since I went to RC2 and the 8/24 nightly.
I'll try setting it up again and see what happens.
Hi guys
My girlfriend updated her UK unrooted stock O2 Desire S with the OTA update yesterday with no problems. However, since then, she has not been able to receive calls when the phone is in a locked state.
When the phone is unlocked, it goes to the screen with buttons at the bottom and is fine (call is answered, taken, hung up, no problem). However, when the phone is locked and the "rings" come up to answer or reject, the call is taken, the phone.android.process (I think) force close, the call is cancelled and signal is lost for a few moments before the phone returns to normal
I have tried pulling the battery and turning off fast boot, neither have helped.
Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues, and if so, is there a fix?
Cheers

go to the market and download and install the app called "no lock" this will disable the lockscreen.
although i do not know the main cause for your issue, this will be a temporary fix until you manage to sort it properlly
my friend has a similar problem,but only with one contact calling him - me
he added fb account (I left my number on my fb account) ,fb for htc account(both)
to his phone,so after mergin my 3 contact details or even 4,when I call him his phone goes FC,out of network,sd preparing etc,etc..so I just unlinked FB(only FB not FB for htc) from other contact details and thing sorted out. its a shot in the dark,but try something like this.
I have the same issue on my Desire S. Although my error message is "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly".
I am then forced to enter my 4-digit pincode for the SIM card.
So far I also think it is only when one person is calling me (he has a Legend, other frequent callers are Samsung old one, and Iphone 4, if it makes a difference).

Thanks for the suggestion - I have now removed my phone number from my FB account, and unlinked my friend from syncing with FB in the contacts. I'll have him call me tomorrow to see if it works.

Hey guys!
I installed this rom on my sgs 4g. I really like it, and i didn't have any problems yet. As many others i am using the whatsapp messenger, and i am having some trouble with it. I only receive new messages ones i turned on my screen, or even ones i opened the app. Actually it is supposed to be working like the normal message app, so you are getting a notification when you get a message even if you have the phone in your pocket and you're not using it. It is really annoying me, because i am missing messages very often and after like an hour i am like: "oh, i should probably check my whatsapp". and than i realized that i got messages hours ago. When i first installed whatsapp it gave me a warning that i have installed a custom rom, and that i won't get any support by the support team if i have trouble, since it's probably the rom that is causing the problems. I hope somebody can help me. I don't really want to install a new rom if necessary.
Thanks guys! -de4dw0lf

So you don't have to click through: [ROM][MTD][4.0.4][AROMA]PARANOIDANDROID-v1.6a
That warning is a scape-goat for the app dev to refuse to fix their broken code. It sounds like there is a problem syncing and that would be the apps fault not a rom.

I recently flashed JB to my atrix 2 and i have the following problems :
1. Whenever I receive a text message, the app adds a prefix to the number (+40 in my case) and it won't recognize the person's name because they appear in my contact list without the +40 in front. How can I stop it from adding that to the number?
2. I tried overclocking using this method, but it won't do anything. I have a 1.0 GHz device (sadly) and i tried both 1.1 and 1.2, but they don't do anything. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
I also have a problem with the GPS, but I don't think there is a solution to this one, as i noticed that i'm not the only one.

Just did that. No difference. I'm starting to think that my only chance is to modify all the contacts to that phone number format I also tried with other messaging apps, but still no difference. This is frustrating.

Ok, I mightve found a solution to your problem..
Select Assisted Dialing in Phonebook/Settings/Assited Dialing and then Select your country code, this will automatically add the country code to all numbers (i think) and sort your problem.. Hope this works :good:

Do you have contacts database on your SIM Card?
-- If the answer is: yes - you sync these contacts with your google acount, and then erase the sim contacts, reboot, set your gogle account as defoult in People --> Menu --> Contacts to display. It's work for me.
-- If the answer: No. I dont have any idea.

My Oneplus gets "This is a lost phone" message intermittently every day with my loud ringtone. It stops when I press the okay button. This is despite me having it in silent mode.
Since this happens only during my office hours, where I have to leave my phone silent always, I am unable to investigate it rather than just press the OK button and it disappears.
I have my device manager activated in the phone. Thought it was previously my Theftie app which was activated, which I deactivated but the message keeps coming on every day.
Any way how to stop this?

next time as soon as the incident happens , can you check which wakelock was running ? Use wakelock detector app from google play.
It would be interesting which application is invoking this event !!
I did download wakelock detector but it says it needs root access since KitKat upgrade. Maybe will root it when time permits.
Meanwhile had another instance of the event, when I received a text from an number not in the Contacts. If I remember correctly, it happened yesterday as well when I received a text from a number not in Contacts list.
Really annoying that it happened during a meeting.

Just throwing out ideas here, are your Locations turned on ? Maybe since it came from the US and you moved to the UK it "sees" that you are not in the US anymore and that is why it is doing this ?

I do have the Location turned on most of the time. Even when I got it in US from oneplus directly, I have used my same UK sim there as well on roaming.
I have done a backup and reset and it sill happens!
Block the text number and uncheck the settings in device manager and change your gmail password. If it still works after a factory reset and make sure you do not restore your software. It sounds like what I do to my son when he does not pick up the phone I make it ring and I do it through device manager because I have his info...
Did you initially bought it from OnePlus, or did you buy it from another user?

How many text numbers can I block? SInce I am in sales, I get many calls and texts from numbers not in my contact list.
I have unchecked the settings in the device manager and deactivated it. Changed the gmail password a week ago as well, and the problem persists

Quit sure you can block quite a few... If all of what we have suggested still does not work may I suggest you selling your phone and buying another one. Hey try putting sim card in another phone and see if that phone has the same result
