adjust setting in phone app - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way I can modify the phone application so that I can unchecked "show notifications?" I feel if I could do that I could stop the persistent voicemail notification on Sprint. Currently the option to unchecked it is greyed out.

Not 100% sure about this, but if you get a 3rd party visual voicemail app, wouldn't that override the Sprint voicemail notifications all together, and then you can simply use the Visual Voicemail App for your voicemails?

Yeah, I have tried this and have even called sprint and had them entirely disable my voicemail service and still that voicemail notification persists. I know its tied into the phone apk somehow and that there must be some line of code I can edit and push, but I have no idea what that might be or how to do it.

Unable to check voice mail

Hi all,
I replaced the ATT rom with HTC. It's been working great so far. I've been using it for about a week now. I do have one issue and not sure how to correct it. When I receive a voice mail I get a notification and normally I hit the dial button so it connects to my voicemail. However, today someone left me a voice mail and I dismiss the notification. I can see the message/voicemail icon in the bar at the top of the screen. However, I cannot click the icon. When I go to the "Messaging" option either by clicking the button on the phone or selecting "Messaging" from the Start menu, it just have the options for SMS/MMS, Email Sample and New Email account. There's no option for voice mail.
Is there someway to check the voicemail? I know I can dial the voicemail number and have access to it but it seems voicemail should be an option under "Messaging".
Please advice. And thank you in advance.
-Mike
So, after 1 week, you finally got a voice mail?
Kidding! Just poking fun!!!

I wish. I normally check right away when the notification is displayed.
Anyway, I ended up doing a soft reset and I was able to click on the Message icon in the menu bar.
Can't you just go to the phone dialer and hold down the 1 key? It should dial your voicemail for you. You can also go into settings/phone on the services tab you can select voice mail and text messages and see if the voicemail number is populated. I have never seen voice mail under messaging.

I have the same problem I flashed from the stock htc to ie fixed big storage rom and when I get a voicemail and dismiss it I can't click on the icon. theres got to be a missing file or registry key anybody have any ideas?

mcmex,
I just go to the dialpad. Totally forgot about that option. I thought there was an option under the messaging but I guess not. I'm good now.
Thanks.

Hi,
When I had the problem I did a soft reset on the phone and that seem to fix the problem. Now it works all the time. Give that a try.

Visual Voicemail - VM indicator

I notice with my phone after deleting VM via VVM app the new VM indicator notification will not clear without a soft reset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Its a bug in the verizon visual voicemail software.
Annoying to say the least.
This"Bug" only happens to the phone if your applied the txt message notification fix/cab. That icon bothered me mor than the txt msg sent notification so I went back to the standard settings on the phone. You can now click on the individual vm notifications and dismiss them. I assume you both have installed that cab. Maybe there is a way to get rid of the txt msg sent without messing with the other notification.

Phantom Voicemail 4.4.1

IT'S BA-AAAACK!
The voicemail notification icon stays in the upper left and also cannot clear in pull down notification. The only way to clear it, is to go to the Phone App and Clear Data. However, it only last a few minutes. Also, I disabled the voicemail sound in the phone app settings but it does not stick. Ugh.
Stock, odexed, no root (yet) 4.4.1
Anyone else?

My first post says how to clear it. I'm trying a few different combinations of things to fix it permanently... Out at least up until a reboot.

Pesty Visual Voice Mail App -How do I kill it?

When I got the phone I was able to make the paid wanna-be app go to sleep and not bug me. The latest Samsung update causes a message in my notification bar that CAN NOT be deleted, "10 voice mail messages" I have tried everything with out success to remove the notification. Even after killing the app via FORCE STOP and Delete Data. When I click on the notification it auto-dials my boost mobile voicemail account automatically. When I check my voice mail at boost by logging in there is "zero" voice mails in the box.
After restarting the phone the notification does not appear until about 3 minuets after, then I get the notification back again.
My S6 is NOT rooted.
How do I solve this?

Question Hide incoming call popup for Google Phone app

I am using Google Phone and Contacts app (Samsung apps are terrible to use, although they look better).
When receiving a phone call, on top of the full screen page I see a notification popup: how can I disable it?
If I go into app's notification settings, all is enabled but greyed out, so cannot change.
Thx
Anyone here?

click on right arrow and disable notification
As said, not possible, all greyed out and default to on
You could try with Auto Notification and Tasker
Do you have Google dialer installed? Can you show me how your notification settings look like (enabled or greyed out)?
They are greyed out on Samsung dialer too
I know why... Google is forcing some properties to fixed so that users cannot change notifications. Problem is that they should fix this behaviour which I believe is a bug.
Strange cos my Xiaomi phone does not have this problem: same app version, same settings greyed out.

Can you pls try to also set phone app as default for calls and ask some one to call you, to see if you get the notification? Keep screen off when waiting the incoming call, and try several times.
Thanks

I'm getting the notification. Always did
Strange... It shouldn't be there
Maybe it's because of "floating notifications" in settings. Check it.
By the way I get a similar notification while in another call/Viber call/Skype call even with Samsung dialer.
Google dialer is fugly.
NO, floating notification is to enable the floating popup when minimizing the dialer.
It seems as if when receiving the call with screen off, Google dialer detects the screen is already on, this displaying the full screen + the popup. As a matter of fact sometimes the popup does not show, but when it does (most of the times) it's annoying as hides that caller's nam

I have also had this issue for a while now, and could never figure out how to fix it either. I finally decided to try turning off the "Appear on top" permission setting in the app info section of the phone app. That seems to have done the trick, as now I only get the top pop up when I get an incoming call, then when I answer it goes to the full screen portion like normal. Maybe give that a try and see if it works for you.
