I have an ATT Fuze and one of my coworkers got the Verizon Touch Pro and his phone doesn't show any new notification when there is a new voicemail. I've left multiple voicemails and there is no item on the Home TF3D screen under the New Call line, and there is no little icon in the top title bar.
I have both of these on my Fuze, and he's asked me for help on his, but I can't seem to find a reason that this would happen, (or not happen/show).
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
dial *228, option 1
I get VM notification on my Verizon TP.
Did your coworker do something to disable it, maybe unintentionally? For example, there is a registry hack which disables the HTC phone keypad skin, restores the default Microsoft one, and saves about 10M of RAM. Unfortunately, there are several side-effects, and I think one of them, is one looses a lot of the little icons at the top of the screen.

Im thinking there is an 80% chance he just needs to re program his phone (as instructed above)...
But why would you want to use verizon crap voicemail anyway? check out Youmail.....

Ok, so here's my problem....I have a Sprint Touch Pro and the Advance Config. Program. I launched the Config program to remove the quick contacts tab and to add the call history tab. I unchecked contacts, checked call history and hit ok. Now my Touch thinks it's T-Mobile. It says T-mobile on the upper right hand corner and nothing on the home screen works (like hit clock for alarm or anything else) The call history is there followed by voicemail and appointments (As a matter of fact there are appointments there that aren't even mine. The Sprint TV is gone and the sprint banner on music page is gone. What in the world could have caused this?
Somebody please help .....I never backed up my Touch and i'm afraid if I do it now to hard reset, It will back this problem up and i'll be in the same boat, because I don't wanna lose everything.
You will not have to hard reset.
You can use Advanced Config go to the appearance tab and click on Restore Default. This will get you back to where you started.
That worked....
You are a life saver jthomas, I just don't understand why that happened and where did those appointments come from.....weird
I really have no idea how that happened! That data is pulled directly from the phone; in your description, it was like it was hard coded into the manila file... I am not sure.
right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
Guys, this is really annoying me so any chance of a little help please...
Today I received a notification of new 'Voicemail'.
I didn't know the number (hate it when this happens as there is a charge every time you listen to the message).
As it happens the message wasn't for me but I was still charged to listen to it.
Anyway, if that is not enough what is annoying is the voicemail notification simply will not go away from the top bar.
Every time I reboot the phone it first starts to play out loud the voicemail notification and the only way to terminate it is to pull down the notification bar.
Thing is what's further annoying is no matter what I do I can not remove the voicemail icon and notification from the top bar.
When I click to listen to the voicemail it simply tells me I don't have any outstanding voicemail so I then hang up but the notification will not go away.
I have been to the T-Mobile web site obviously there is nothing there and on the phone I have dialled 150 Option 4, 1, 1 which is meant to stop voicemail (I think).
Help please..... It is driving me crazy.
I also want to know
It drives me crazy
I am with fido and I have a voicemail notification and it does not want to go away
I erased the phone 2-3 times, I left a message in my voicemail and then I deleted
no matter what I do the notification is there.
I tried the same with my nexus one and atrix but I dont have any notification.
It seems to be the phone itself
Just a long shot, but have you got a txt message that relates to having a voice mail, if so try deleting?

Well, in a weird sort of way I am pleased I am not the only one who is having this issue (apologies prince_72). It shows the problem is not isolated to either my phone or some form of settings.
In answer to morg01 ~ no... as a protection to my profession once I have received and actioned any text messages they are deleted. So it can not be a previous message that is the cause.
If the blessed thing has not disappeared come Monday I will speak with T-Mobile to ask if they have an answer.
However, I think they will most probably point me either to here or here but all these do is terminate voicemail, not handle notification.
I'm hoping it is something as simple as their system that is reactivating the notification despite the fact the last one I received I deleted.
We'll see.
I had this issue along with the com.android.phone crashing issue and they just switched my phone out in the shop. It might be time for a replacement?

Time for a replacement! That's a bit harsh.
In all other manner the phone works absolutely perfectly.
I have the issue too, I don't have carrier vm set up (i use g voice) but I forgot to set up voice after doing a wipe and got a vm. It asks me for a password that doesn't exist and wont let me delete the notification.
I dont think a replacement is a solution.
This is a software problem and I think the problem has to do with the software
implementation of the voicemail implementation.
If I put my Fido sim card to my Nexus one or Motorola Atrix I dont get the voicemail notification.
Also just to reply to morg01 I do get text messages along with the voicemail notification at the status bard but I delete the text messages I receive.
The problem is how to remove the voicemail notification.
I have a feeling that the Baseband implementation is wrong.
I got the phone from Europe and I dont think it supports the special features from Fido.
Just to mention that I dont have Name Display as well.
I would have to wait for the Canadian version to appear and to flash the modem
but until I wait that I will be really happy to remove that stupid ugly notification
I've been using Google Voice for the last 6 months. It's not always perfect, but you can read a transcript of your mail. And it's free and reversable.

Finally I fixed the notification problem
My carrier (FIDO) has two voicemail systems. One is for Iphone with the visual voicemail and the second is the reset of phones.
I used to have the second. It seems Galaxy S II does not really work ok with the more standard. The CSR switched me over to the visual voicemail and now everything works ok.

Nice one.... That proves it's a carrier issue.
I'm hoping to get to the bottom of my problem tomorrow.
I recently switched from a (jailbroken) iPhone 4s to a Lumia 920, and am very happy with that decision. My complete computing environment is based on Windows 8, and the phone fits into that environment without any effort.
Still, there are a few features that I miss in the Lumia 920 which I loved in previous phones:
- the phone does not have an option for automatic time sync, although the network (German O2) provides for that feature
- you can change ring tones, but not sounds for notifications and sms
- there is no way to activate visual voice mail, although I used to have this feature on the iPhone, using the same sim card and contract
- some kind of notification center
- there is no way to use the flash as indicator for incoming messages and calls
- there is no app like "my mobiler" in windows mobile or "veency" in ios
- although text selection and editing is much better than on the iPhone, I loved he little app called "SwipeSelection" from Cydia that moved the cursor when you were swiping with our finger over the keyboard
If anyone has a workaround (other than switching back to a jailbroken iPhone) for any of the things listed, I'd be grateful for a hint.
Thanks

About the text selection, you can press and hold on the text and a cursor will show. Well Im not sure if this is what you're talking about but this is helpful in editing texts

Thanks, but: No, this is not what I mean. Here is a video which explains swipe selection best:

Carrier time is best because it gives you the current time even if you move across time zones. World clocks are available if you travel a lot and want to see multiple times for different locations.
Visual voicemail is something your carrier needs to turn on for your device, wp8 supports it. For instance in America ATT supports visual voicemail. You could try calling and asking them to support visual voicemail for your model.
In wp8 you can't do anything to change how the default keyboard works so adding the swipe app is impossible right now. Also everyone is hoping that they allow custom SMS tones soon.
Arrows in the chat pad/ keyboard!! led indication for missed calls or any event whatsoever, swipe/select text, longer battery life! besides that i am really happy with the phone.

I don't get all these longer battery life statements. This phone has longer battery life than any phone I have ever owned. I charge over night and it will last me minimum 12 hours. I have never had a phone that lasted that long. Best was 8 and average was 5. If you Lumia is not lasting more than 12 hours then i would suggest a battery drainer and then a full recharge. If it still does not last then you got one of the faulty batteries and I would suggest replacing the phone, or if you are tech savvy open it and replace the battery with one off ebay.:good:
I know there have been no major updates for the H932 in the last handful of months, but for some reason lately my Messages and a few other LG-based apps have started showing a pink SIM card icon next to every single conversation and at the top of the screen. I feel like this has something to do with T-Mobile DIGITS but I've been using the app for over 4 months now and this change just recently happened. It has jacked with all of my text messages and makes it look like the sent and received text messages are all from the same person and I've tried everything I know how in order to get this stupid little icon to go away and from what I've seen even factory resetting the device only works for so long before the icons come back and screw up everything all over again. i really do hope this is ust the DIGITS app making its presence known, since I can tap on the icon in messages and see my own phone number listed as the only option beside it.
I'd rather not have to give up the DIGITS app since it has been a lifesaver for me allowing me to answer phone calls using the Windows app from my computer and not having to hunt my phone down and miss important phone calls. DIGITS is the only service I know of on Android that allows me to remotely answer phone calls, receive and respond to texts and a few other niceties that I have yet to see another Windows app replicate to this degree but if anyone has suggestions then I am open ears. Having said that though, I'm hoping that there's a way to completely remove the SIM card icons from my Messages and Phone applications using ADB or something similar and deleting a few non-rooted files or freezing an application. If anyone knows how to remove this horrible "feature" from my phone I'd be greatly appreciative. If this fails to work I would even be willing to at least disable DIGITS altogether as long as there's still a way to remove the icons from my LG-approved apps. I can't really afford to keep factory resetting but if that's something I have to do and it will revert the phone back to stock state I'd even consider rooting this POC at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
