I installed 1.6.7 and i love it so far, but it seems to have taken away the voicemail plugin option on the today screen? is there some way to get it back, or an alternative solution?
My quick solution is to either dial my own number or press and hold the 1 button on the dialer to get access to voicemail. I was surprised that once you dismissed the voicemail notification, that it really did go away completely. On the stock VZ ROMs, I always had notifications that wouldn't go away.

I came over from EVO 4g and whenever someone left me a voice mail, I'd see the number of messages overlaid on the voicemail icon on my home page. If I had 4 message the number 4 would be overlaid. When I pressed the icon, it played my messages from some storage location on the phone, not by calling into voice mail.
Now when I get a voice mail message, I get an obscure looking text from a 9016 number. When I click on the voicemail icon (widget) from my home screen, it says I have no messages. If I call into voice mail then I can get my message.
What's up, why don't I have the counter anymore and why aren't my messages not stored on my phone anymore? I'd sure like it the way it was... is there an app for that??
OK, I found the answer in an obscure place, but it worked for me and I have exactly what I want! This was taken from the Sprint site.
Having VVM issues (getting a text from 9016, and you use Handcent)?
We are in contact with Handcent, still trying to connect with Go SMS. Use these instructions if you are having the issues.
If you have Go SMS you will need to disable the "disable other text notifications"
If you have Handcent, you will need to go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable".
•1. Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
•2. Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
•3. Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile (try to leave yourself a VM)
•4. Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu ••à Compose) of 5+ seconds and send to [email protected].
•5. Test to see if visual voicemail is working again, and if the top 4 items above do not solve the issue, I recommend you call *2 and talk to a Sprint Customer Care Representative. Typically if Visual Voicemail is not working, it’s related to the initial provisioning not getting setup properly.
OK guys, I have a dilemma.
I've searched through the forums and turned up nothing, so I did make an honest attempt to solve this on my own.
Now, down to business.
For the past few months now, my new voicemail notification will just not go away.
The phone will not let me simply dismiss it, either. Even if I wipe, and switch ROMs.
I can't just call voicemail, as well, to clear. I get a the female Google Voice, voice saying " A problem has occurred. Please try again." As such, I believe the problem first occurred when I first subscribed to Google voice. (I received a GV# as well.) Of course, first thing, I switched my voicemail provider to GV on my phone. From here, I noticed the notification, (presumedly from AT&T voicemail) was still there. "Simple enough", I thought. Just switch my VM provider on my phone back to AT&T.
I still get the GV voice not letting me call.
I'm at my wit's end over this issue.
Thank you all in advance and for your your continued help toward the i-777 community overall.

This is just a wild guess... I have had the ATT vmail icon stick (stay on) from time to time. The way I have found to clear it is call from another phone and leave myself a message. Wait for the notification, and then check vmail and delete the message. (take your time with this) Sounds crazy, but it clears it for me. I think if you get a vmail and you speed through the process and delete and hang up right away the notification sticks every once in a blue moon.
If you cant access your ATT vmail, you need to disable all of your GVoice options till you clear matters up with you ATT Vmail account.
Dial ##004# then press send to stop forwarding of GVoice.

Thank you. I appreciate the quick response.
I tried what you suggested, and when when I call voicemail, I still get the GV "We could not complete your call. Please try again.", message.
I'll probably just end yp calling ATT and asking that they wipe my voicemail-box for me. (If they can.)
Issue Resolved
I called AT&T. The lady on the other line was very cheerful, helpful, and attentive. She un-setup my entire carrier voicemail for me, which as a result, finally removed my new voicemail notification!
While I'm still not able too access my carrier voicemail system, this isn't a problem to me as I can use Google Voice instead.
Hi. I'm running CM 10.1-20130117 nightly on my Fascinate. For the most part it works great as a daily driver. The only major issue I have is I don't get voicemail notification.
It acts as if it only checks for voicemail once when it powers on.
If I have voicemail when I reboot the phone, I get the notification, and it stays on even after the message is cleared. If I reboot the phone again the notification goes away, but doesn't come back on if I receive new voicemail.
I've had this issue across multiple nightly builds. Other notifications such as email and text work correctly.
In settings, I've tried selecting and deselecting message wait indicator. Service is set to My Carrier, and voicemail number is *86. I haven't loaded any voicemail apps, and I've also cleared out all voice messages.
Can someone help me out?
This is a common issue for 4.2.2 ROMs on older Android phones. There is no known fix and I have experienced it on both a Droid Incredible and Samsung Fascinate on Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO).

Maybe you should install a voicemail app... I wouldn't go with verizon's visual voicemail since you gotta pay a monthly fee to access your messages. Go with Google Voice. It's free, easy to set up, allows access from the app/web, works with messages same as you would with emails, transcribes recordings... did i mention its free? Went with google voice a long time ago n never looked back... verizon's a joke.
I know it's an old post, but AOKP worked for me for the VM notification.

That's slightly worrying! Did you cancel it off by dialing voicemail on the phone first? Or did you just call voicemail from the Gear when the notification came through?
I am thinking that because you cannot officially dismiss anything on the phone from the Gear, by dialing voicemail from the Gear you are effectively doing that, (as the dismissal actually then comes from the carrier to the phone) . I believe this will cause the notification to stick on the Gear.

Still an issue?
I am having this same issue. Anyone come up with a solution yet? I rather not reset my watch if I could avoid it.
Hold down the voicemail notification and the window will get smaller with a red minus sign in the upper right hand corner. touch the red sign to dismiss it.
I have a visual voice mail notification that won't go away? Has anyone figured out how to make it go away?

I had this same issue. The native voicemail notification could not be dismissed. In Gear Manager I had selected both the native voice mail and visual voice mail notifications. I'm thinking there must be a conflict because now that I have only the visual voice mail notification selected I am able to dismiss it. I had to factory reset my Gear to get the native notification to go away. No issues since.

That's way too convoluted. The easiest way to dismiss it is to long press and hold the Gear S voice mail notification screen until it shrinks to display a screen edit mode. Tap the '-' icon to delete the voice mail notification screen.
Now, go back and uncheck the voice mail notification in Gear Manager will make sure it never happens again.
The way this is managed on T-Mobile sucks. I have my phone number, my gear s number, and a Google voice number. No matter which number the voicemail belongs to, it shows the voicemail icon on the watch. When you call your voicemail on the watch, if it is connected to you phone, it will call the phones voicemail. Unless you dial the watch number and go into the voicemail, you are probably going to always call the phones voicemail.
That has nothing to do with T-Mobile. If you are BT connected to the phone, the watch's own cell radio is auto-disabled and when you make a call, it will only call from the phone. You have to disconnect from BT and make it remotely connected in order to call for watch's voice mail. But then, you can't call for your phone's voice mail. That's why I suggest you disable voice mail notification from the phone.
Also, the icons are slightly different between voicemail left for the phone and for the watch.

Unable to clear VM notification from watch
The voicemail notification is for my watch as it has the watch icon on it.
But I am unable to dismiss it. No matter for how long I press it, the option to delete the screen doesn't come.
It is a used watch and I am unable to dial the voicemail from that number. Any workaround?
Please help
Hi folks,
Completely stock, unrooted, fully up to date Pixel 6 purchased from Google, running on AT&T in the US. Yesterday Visual Voicemail was working fine. Today, woke up to new icons for both Messages and the Phone app on my home screen. I had heard that new versions with new icons were rolling out, no big deal.
However, during a meeting my phone rang, and I didn't get a visual voicemail of the transcript. After the meeting I went into the app and it said something like "Visual Voicemail isn't working. Call voice mail to set up."
I called voicemail and entered my password code (manually, why didn't it remember my password) but there was nothing in there about VVM.
Any idea what's going on here?
I may have fixed it by turning off VVM, then turning it back on and re-enabling transcription. It took a few minutes hung at the "activating" stage, but then seemed to clear up. I left a message, and it got transcribed and I can see this in the app now.
However, I think they monkeyed with the layout a bit. And the shortcut on my homescreen to the VVM window is gone. Why do they change things that work fine already?
