Would be helpful if you could share what ROM, modem etc. you're using.
Ideas? Google Voice. It's free and offers a much richer messaging experience over carrier-based voicemail systems. It transcribes viocemails and you can read and/or listen to them on the phone, from a PC etc.

What I've seen fix that in the past is leave yourself a voicemail... let it go to your phone... then delete it again.... also another note.... i always hit the * button to hang up.... not sure if that will work but it has for me in the past with other phones....

it most likely has nothing to do with your phone and everything to do without your service provider. the voicwmail server is incorrectly sending your phone the "new voicemail" signal. I had this same problem on my old blackjack 2 for the longest time. if it bothers you enough, try calling your service provider and get them to fix it.
Sent from a phone, playing a phone, disguised as another phone.

Just call AT&T and ask them to reset the voicemail and missed calls notification.
This happens to me soo often...

This fix has worked for me numerous times in the past.

Sorry to jump in on the OP thread but I have the same problem. On cognition was setting up google voice but I guess I had a voicemail sneak thru the system during the setup. I have tried switching back to my carrier voicemail leaving a message but it does not delete it. I am surprised there is not a service that cannot be force stop to remove it versus calling provider.
Thanks

Can't send texts after root

So I just got my Nexus S 4G two days ago and I rooted it yesterday, after a few issues. Since then I haven't been able to send texts. I hit send and the little circle just keeps going round and round. Help!

Rooted and installed a ROM? Or are you on stock ROM? Did you install any kernel?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

I only rooted, nothing else. I just unrooted and re-rooted using the One Click method. I can now send texts and I'm putting all my data back onto the phone and trying again, to see if it's something else..

i think your SMS center number is just left blank
on the dialer type *#*#4636#*#* then select "Phone information" then scroll down to SMSC and click REFRESH if it's blank then you should contact your operator and get the SMSCenter number and fill it there hope it helps
Edit:Oh nvm just saw u got it working ...

irizwan - Actually earlier today I flashed the Carbon ICS ROM and texting was working fine, then I went to work and about an hour ago I sent my first text since I started work and it wouldn't work. I did what you said and the space is blank, now I need to know what my operator is so I can fix this. Thank you for that info!

Shauna, try updating your prl and profile under about phone. That may help. I can't speak to the smsc but mine is blank and I have no issues sending or receiving texts.

Where do I find that? I looked in the testing thingamabob and all there is is Phone Info, Battery Info, Usage Statistics and Wifi Info. Under Phone Info there's nothing that says prl and profile.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I do remember it working before I opened up Autostarts and pretty much killed the startup of all the apps. Maybe I killed the wrong app/system thingy. Idk. Anyway, re-flashing ROM and not touching Autostarts this time. Hopefully this'll help.

Sorry, you should be able to update those in settings - about phone - sprint system updates. Also, you shouldn't worry too much about killing apps from starting or running. That shouldn't stop you from sending texts though. It would easily keep you from receiving texts tho if you killed messaging.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G running CM7/franco.Kernel

hmm when i had problems sending Txt's i read from somewhere that you have to take your operator smsc and convert it to hex or binary I don't remember but it was something like that not actually hex something else which i don't remember sorry after conversion i filled my smsc then hit "update" thats it =]
Edit : Ok i searched and found that you need to convert your SMSC number into PDU format heres a link to do it http://rednaxela.net/pdu.php
Hope it helps
Edit2: if that doesn't work for you .. you can flash MIUI and you can set the SMSC number in the settings menu =]

Hmm, that would be the first time I've ever heard of that. Op are you using the stock messaging app? When you say you can't send, what exactly are you seeing to indicate this? Are you on the latest radio?

For me, it is found here:
Home Key -> Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Sprint System Updates
If not on Sprint, may be slightly different.

Thank you both for the replies. I haven't done anything with Autostarts and I haven't had a problem with texting sooo I'm not sure what the problem was.

[Resolved] Google Voice notifications in the notifications bar

I finally figured out the reason why Google Voice notifications for new messages weren't showing up for me. It turns out to be a stupid bug in GV.
Once I would be done setting up GV, I would go into "Settings" and check the option for "Voicemail display - view and play voicemails from the phone call log". Well, I accidentally found out this is the culprit. I unchecked this today just for the heck of it, and lo and behold GV notifications starting appearing again
This had been bugging me no end for the last month. Hope this helps anybody else in a similar situation.

Thanks for the tip, but FWIW, I have always that option unchecked and I still have issues with getting notifications. the weird thing for me is that the notifications immediately pop up once I open google voice. I think there is some sort of issue with the app processing correctly in the background, but I'm no dev so not sure how/if you check for coding or troubleshoot how the program is written to interact with ICS.

Have you also tried what I linked to in my post right above yours? Like I said, I did that and what RofSpark said to do and I am getting consistent and immediate notifications of voicemails.

I have tried that, too, yes. For the first couple of weeks, my GV was working fine, notifications and all. I had zero problems after setting it up. But the last 3+ weeks, it has been giving me zero notifications in my status bar until I open the app, and my email notifications (which are how I've been seeing that I have voicemails) are delayed quite a bit.

Are you completely stock or are you running a custom ROM? I'm running Scott's excellent CleanROM SE ver. 2.6 and perhaps this also has something to do with things? I have very little multitasking issues now and things keep trucking nicely in the background...

I can confirm it works on CleanROM DE 3.0, no experience with Scott's SE version however.
I did check with Scott, and he confirmed he does not see any reason why GV notifications would not work with any of his ROMs. In fact, he uses GV too and confirmed that he has not noticed any notification issues on his phone.

I did extensive tests and determined its the "Voicemail display" checkbox that breaks the notifications. The link in your post is absolutely required to correctly set up GV forwarding on the HOX. That is my standard procedure for setting up GV now.

Twice, now, I have uninstalled and disassociated GV from my phone, then reinstalled and redone the entire setup process. I've always uncheck the view and play voicemails in the call log option, as well as used the dialer code for ensureing the voicemail is properly forwarded and GV is used. Nothig has helped my issue.

Though not very sure, I think I have read a number of people had notification issues around push emails and text messages on the stock ROM. People were either not getting these notifications or getting them quite late. Maybe this is more to do with problems in the notification subsystem of the stock ROM. Do you plan to root and unlock to install a custom ROM? Maybe that's the ticket to get this working.

I'm considering going over to CleanROM at some point. I'm stock now and just updated to 1.85 from the OTA. I waited a few on the update and read some claims that this update helped some of the general notification issues. Doesn't seem to have helped me with GV notifications but ill give it a few days (updated yesterday afternoon). I've been holding off rooting because I'm leery about it effecting my company's IT privileges and forced encryption as I rely heavily on my corporate email and am forced to endure some heavy administrative control due to sensitivity of the client work I deal with.
It does seem that rooting and running a custom rom is the way to eventually go. The devs here are so swift at identifying and fixing these little issues. I just need to take the time to parse through the thousands of posts regarding the custom roms I've looked at and see if they'll work for me.

If it helps I can confirm all notifications are now working for me on Scott's CleanROM DE 3.0. It is a great ROM, very lightweight with most of bloat removed including Sense launcher (replaced by Apex, which is fantastic). Scott is extremely active in addressing any issues and continued development of all his ROMs.
Feel free to reach out to me if you decide to move to this one and need any clarification or help. Good luck.

Yeah, I haven't had any notification problems since I switched to CleanROM.

Thanks a lot for the info and offer. I will most likely look into CleanROM DE later in the week when I have some free time. I've read about it quite a bit, but I am not well-versed in rooting phones and flashing new ROMs, so I will likely need all the help I can get. I am definitely a noob, but I read these boards extensively, so I'll do my research and possibly PM if I've got any specific questions that I can't find answers for when going into a potential root.

Google Voice broken in 4.4?

Hey all, is anyone else having any issues with Google voice not properly working on their Nexus 5 with android 4.4? I have it setup like normal, but the app is not showing missed called or voicemails.

Do you happen to be using two factor account authentication?

Tried clearing the app, reloading it, deactivating and re activating the phone\account via google voices web settings.
I am using two factor authentication as per a month ago. but if i recall correctly my google voice was still working with that enabled on my moto x before i got the nexus 5. I could be mistaken though. Anyone?

Mine originally was acting kind of funny upon first install - I uninstalled and re-installed it was fine.

If you're using a prepaid plan, I wonder if this is what you're running into:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/bPJ0u3fJiFo
Look about half-way down the page, it seems that some have needed to have T-Mobile disable their own voicemail in order to get GVoice to work. Maybe this is the answer, maybe not, but I saw it and thought it might help. If you got your Nexus through T-Mobile/postpaid, may not be the answer.

I seem to of found the problem. I was testing calls from my work phone, and they were all getting directed into the Spam folder. You cannot view the spam folder on the android app, however once i moved the calls\voicemails from the spam folder via the web interface, they all came flooding into my phone.

I was noticed odd issues with Google Voice also. When I make a test call to my phone from my wife's phone and it actually calls me twice. Maybe someone else can help me confirm.. Call your phone from another phone and just let it keep ringing. See if it calls twice. Almost seems like its calling both primary and Google Voice #'s

[Q] Problems receiving calls and sms on CM12 nightly

Hey guys,
So I'm experiencing issues receiving calls and SMS on my OPO ever since I flashed a CM12 nightly in early February. I don't know for sure that CM12 is the issue because I can't find anyone that has a similar problem, but since the problem didn't start until after the initial clean install of CM12, I'd say this is a good place to start.
I'm currently running CM 12-20150223-NIGHTLY-bacon and have not changed anything else (kernal, xposed, etc...). I use AT&T and am located in the US.
SMS Problem: First off, I use Hangouts as my SMS application. Sometimes I will go hours without receiving any text messages, only to have a dozen of them all come flooding in at once. Usually this is prompted by me sending myself an SMS. I also occasionally have trouble downloading group MMS.
Call Problem: About 80% of the time, calls do not come through to me. My wife tells me the phone rings twice and then goes to voicemail. I do not receive any notifications of missed calls but if the caller leaves a voice mail, then I do get notified of that most of the time.
Does anyone know if this is strictly a CM12 nightly issue, or is something else going on? If the answer is just a full wipe and clean install of another ROM I'm ok with that, just wanted to get opinions from the community before I proceed.
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issue with SMS. I am running the 20150225 nightly.

Bump.
Still having this problem. Is the only way to fix it to go back to KitKat?

You have described my exact problem to a T. Any updates on this issue? I am thinking about going back to CM11. Every nightly I update in hopes that it resolves this issue but it hasn't yet.

No fix that I've found yet. Here is another thread on the issue that has seen more interaction than mine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/cm12-delayed-messages-missed-calls-t3049583
Have you come across any fix yet?

Yesterday there were several updates related to mms..if you still use cm12...then install cynadelta app select last bacon zip. Then click on refresh, it will check the latest bacon file and update only incremental data..means you dont have to download entire rom. Saves your time and data package.
Once you see all the components are working.. Take backup using twrp and keep it in USB.. Incase you need to restore.

Hi! I har the same problem after updating to cm12. I solved it by go to settings/ mobile network/ preffered network and chose 3g. That worked for me. Much longer batterylife too.

Setting connection to 3g is not a solution, but a workaround. For those of use who actually use LTE/4G, that's not really an option.
I have this same issue, but I'm using Carbon ROM. So it would appear it is a CM-based issue that has carried over.
Edit: I was just in contact with my carrier Tele2, and this is a known issue with 4G/LTE systems. If you have this issue, contact your carrier, and they can likely help you sort it out.
