You have to call your voice mail and delete the massage.
You cant turn it off with a setting, might be able to do something if you're rooted (I also find it annoying and never found a solution besides the one I offered you).

Just listen to the voicemail

There may be an issue. Even after deleting the voicemail and rebooting the phone, the voicemail notification remains. I think this was an problem with an older version of android too...

I find out a way to get rid of the constant vm notification. I cleared the data for the phone app. The notification disappeared immediately. I'll have to see what happens after I get another VM.

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.

Google Voice - Notification Bar Bug?

Hi everyone,
Anyone else having an issue with voicemail notifications after installing Google Voice?
I constantly have a new voicemail notification in my bar that is driving me crazy. I have no new messages and even deleted all previous messages but cannot get this notification to go away.
To be more specific it is the phone's own voicemail notification icon that will not dissapear. I have voice set to text an alert when I get a voicemail, so I'd like there not to be any notifications in the bar. I disabled notifications within Google Voice's settings but it appears to be the stock alert that I cannot disable.
Thanks in advance.
Solved, there was a message in my carrier inbox that my phone was trying to access from google voice.

Call forwarding icon stuck in notification bar (Solved)

Earlier today a small blue Forwarding call icon got stuck in the notification bar on my NS. I haven't set up any call forwarding so not sure how the icon got there. The calls coming in are not forwarded. The icon is also there when pulling down the notification bar, and it says "Forwarding all calls" but clearly it isn't.
I use the SuperOSR rom and tried restoring a backup but the icon is still there.
Can anybody help to provide some info as to what could cause this? I've tried googling but haven't been able to find an answer. Thanks.
Edit: figured out that by actually setting up call forwarding and then disabling it made the icon disappear from the notification bar. Still have no clue as to why it appeared when no call forwarding was set up. Must be a minor bug.

Thanks a lot for this! It had been driving me crazy for days. I went to 3 and they had no solution. I was prepared to change my number because changing the SIM card had no effect.

Thank you so much. I've had this problem for ages. Even after a full /system wipe it would come back eventually.
Now I know how to fix it.
Much love!

Take another phone and call yourself and leave a message. Then take your phone, reboot, listen to the message and erase it.

Update out now

Any differences

Just received the latest update today on stock TB. Seems to run ok (so far), but the persistent voice mail icon and notification problem is back. This was a problem prior to last update. The icon and notification displays that you have a voice mail even though you don't and no way to get rid of them that I know of. Kind of a downer. Anyone else seeing this?
This is the only problem I've seen so far.
Haven't had that issue yet. Ringtones work and notifications volume are fixed.
Edit: Called myself and left voice mail. Went to notifications pull down and called voice mail there by pressing on the voice mail notification. After hanging up voice mail notification icon was gone from status bar only missed call icon remained. Pressed on missed call and that icon in the status bar was gone. Seems to work for me I don't know how you went about getting your voice mail but this method worked for me. I even used the 86,xxxx to put in my password and that worked.
The lingering voice mail icon in notification area and message magically corrected itself after first incoming call with voice mail. No other problems...so far. Great phone!
fwiw...
Also ordered a Rezound battery from Verizon (on sale $19), which fits the Tbolt, for a few more milliamp hrs.

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.
