Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S6310N, Android 4.1.2
Each time the device is turned on, a voicemail notification appears, however on calling voicemail there are no new messages. The notification will not disappear until a genuine voicemail is received and listened to, however it just re-appears again when the device is restarted.
How do I stop this happening please?
thanks ....

When I access my voice mail it says I don't have any voice message but voice mail notification won't disappear from notification bar.. help me please!
Could anyone help me out?
easy fix. This is an initial bug with the nexus s and android 2.3.
Just have someone (or yourself on another phone) leave you a voicemail message, check your voicemail on your nexus s, delete the message, and the icon will go away shortly after that.
Hope this helps.
P.S.
Do a search next time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876461&highlight=voicemail+icon
I had this happen to me a couple of times when I first got the NS. Then I downloaded the T-Mobile Visual Voice app from the market, and no problems since.

Could you delete that visual voice app afterwards? I'm currently using GV. I deactivated and followed the instruction on other XDA thread but it didn't work for me.

Hello,
I am running cyanogenMod-HellFirePhoenix_V2.1 and it's pretty good but i am having a problem with call waiting. I specifically checked my T-Mobile plan and it says that I have call waiting feature, but when i go to call settings on my phone and try to enable it, it says "SimCard error, your network provider does not support this feature." I remember when i had stock OS a while ago call waiting used to work. Now i tested it and it just sends people straight to voice mail while the phone is busy. Can anyone offer any help with this?
Thanks,

You have to check the box before the message pops up. As far as the SIM error goes that's a known issue and hasn't been fixed AFAIK

Wondering if this is the same issue with my phone. I have the HELLFIRE Sandwich ROM loaded and I hear no notification of a second incoming calls either.
Theres a good chance that this feature was never used by the Dev and so was removed. I know I dont use it. If your not important enough for me to pick it up, you can go to voicemail where I wont call you back. If its someone important, then pick up the phone. I'm running Genesis and I get the ring while im on the phone.
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
Hi everyone,
I work in an office that has no cell signal. So when I step into my office, my bars go away, I get the no signal symbol and then 30 seconds later my phone will alert me that I have a voicemail (when I don't have one). When I step into an area where I can get a signal, the voicemail notification goes away and my phone is fine. All of this started the day I updated to Android 4.3.
I've called Verizon multiple times and all they can do is tell me to reset my phone, which I have done multiple times.... I also have had my voicemail reset
It's really annoying since it will vibrate and the screen lights up as usual for 30 seconds.
Now my battery drains faster since my phone vibrates every 5 -15 minutes all day while I'm at work.
Any thoughts?
So what is the issue? Low or no cell signal will cause your battery to drain real fast. You need to put your phone in airplane mode. The way your phone behaved is perfectly normal.

The issue is that when I lose signal completely, my phone notifies me that I have a voicemail, when in actuality I don't.
No signal = false voicemail notification

In your case, most likely the issue is in VZ voicemail system, I pretty sure it's not your phone, since the voicemail notification is delivery by VZ voice mail system. I suggest a few workaround:
1) If you preferred VZ voice mail, setup a call forward during the "none signal period".
2) Switch to Google voice mail.
3) Put your phone in Airplane mode during the "none signal period"
So you don't think it's my phone... My thought it was my phone since it happened right after the Android 4.3 update. My wife has updated hers to 4.3 and she gets the same issues.
Verizon thought it was my phone because the in order to get a voicemail notification data is sent over the cell signal.
In my case, I don't have a cell signal and then the false notification appears.
Looking at your workarounds
1) Won't work for me, I'm on the go all day. I go in and out of rooms where I do/don't have cell signal.
2) Will need to look into it, I never heard of Google voicemail.
3) Got young kids... need to be ready if they get sick!

Another option, do you have access to wifi where no cell signal? BTW, most people preferred google voice mail over VZ voice mail.

You can download grove IP and set it up with Google voice. You can handout google phone number to your important people so they can reach you during this no cell signal period. You also can call out using grove IP. Grove IP is voice over IP instead of using cell signal.This also work well with Google voice mail.

Today I called Verizon to disable my voicemail system. Then I turned off my phone, walked outside to get a signal and I had no voicemail notification.
Then, I walked inside, lost signal and then the voicemail notification appeared.
Something in the Android 4.3 update is causing the notification to appear. Very annoying...

Sound like you discovered a bug with 4.3 which none of us has experienced!

Does the message say you have a voicemail? Mine says "voicemail activity detected unable to connect to server"

I second the idea of you going to Google voice for your voice mail. Verizon voice mail notifications was always buggy for me. Plus you get free visual voice mail with Google voice. After you reroute your vmail to voice you should never see vzw vmail again.
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------
I should mention this happened to me like a year ago and I had to delete everything from my vzw vmail account then wait a few days before the false notification went away. Now that I think about it that is why I went to Google voice.
Well, not the only one.

I too have this exact issue. The false VM notification is annoying for sure (it is always 2 "new" VM, when in fact there are zero), but the more annoying aspect is the "mobile network unavailable" message. Not only does it happen every time I move to the center of the building, but it tends to persist for a few minutes after moving back to areas that I know I have coverage.
This began with the 4.3 update, and nothing else has changed. It is so annoying, that I have spent hours searching for a resolution which is how I ended up here.

Sorry it has taken a while to respond. I *might* have solved my problem.
So right now my Verizon voicemail is disabled and I get the false voicemail alert when I lose signal. I do not receive any other messages.
Our wifi hubs have been updated, so now when I go into work, I get wifi all day long without interruption. Since then, no more false voicemail alerts!
Just to experiment, I disabled my wifi and sure enough I got the false voicemail notification. Turned wifi back on and it eventually cleared itself after a minute. Hope this helps!

Did you go in your voicemail and make sure all messages are deleted? if you empty your vm completely and keep it empty it should fix its self after a day or two.
After rooting S7 I can't send text messages and my phone says "Searching For Service"
Alright so I really need some help. I rooted the Verizon S7 Edge SM-G935V successfully, but I can't send text messages. It says it isn't connected to the network when I try to send a text message. On my lock screen it shows that it is searching for service, but I have 4g LTE. I can make calls and surf the internet, but I can't send texts. When I go to settings/mobile networks I don't have as many options as I had before e.g. to choose what networks I want to use such as LGE/GSM/CDMA. What's going on here? I rerooted the phone and I still have the same issue. My lock screen will show "Searching for Service" in the top left corner.
If I make a phone call I have no problem sending text messages after the call ends.... until I restart the phone again. Then texting no longer works and I have to make another phone call to be able to send text messages. I have tried both Messenger+ and Samsung Messenger.
So I flashed back to the stock firmware and I immediately am connected to the network when the phone is restarting. So there was definitely an issue of some sort with the root. The root also caused my "Network Mode" option that was in "Mobile Networks" to disappear. I would really like to root again, but I can't do it with those issues. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to them.
Try making a phone call, it might trip it into working

It does work if I make a phone call, but once the phone is restarted it no longer works and I have to make a phone call again. I have no idea why it needs to be "jump started" like this.
