Try this, worked for me on another phone with this problem ...
Call yourself from another phone, and leave a message, then call your VM and delete it, it should update the indicator ....
Also , do you have visual voice mail installed, if you do try opening it up , if not the above suggestion is the only one I got ...
Hope it helps ...
I also have the same. Quite often when someone tries to call me, the phone never rings, even though they hear the "ringing" in thir phone. After they have hung up i get a msg on my phone saying that there is a new VM, calling the VM and no new msg.
I have just learned to live with it, every time i get the msg i call them up again.
No big deal, its just a bit anoying.

Hi,
So here is the deal, there are these numbers which really annoy me, so i need an app, which could recognize the few numbers i enter in it and then drop the call, without hanging up on the caller, without giving any signal, maybe just a quick pick up and hangup immediately after that, like a network error or something, briefly i don;t want the other side to know that the call has been rejected ... any ideas
Thanks in advnace.

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 received a replacement Atrix today and for some reason, it is sending callers directly to voicemail. I only know that they called if they leave a voicemail. I can't seem to figure out how to change it.

You need to go back to your service provider and have them check your phone and SIM card. This usually happens when the system cannot "find" your device on the network meaning something isn't connecting correctly. It's the same thing that happens if your phone is turned off. Network sends out a signal to see if your phone is there, gets no response, sends straight to VM.
Alright, thanks. The weird thing is the phone works fine when I call out. Only problem is when people call me. They sent me the phone with a new SIM, but it didn't work so I put my old SIM in which I'm thinking might be the problem. I'll run up there tomorrow and bring both SIMs to be sure.
settings - call settings - Call forwarding. Make sure Always Forward is disabled.
I got Youmail for my voicemail since I don't want to pay $4 a month for Verizon's service. I just got a call from my fiancé and when I went to play it back I heard nothing. I made sure the volume was up and even maxed it out and still heard absolutely nothing out of the earpiece. I set it to play out of the speaker and even at max volume it was barely audible. I've tried emailing Youmail a couple times and have yet to receive a response so I'm turning to you guys. Has anyone had this problem? Is there another recommended voicemail app? I tried Google Voice but it just gives me an error saying my carrier is unsupported or something.
Not being able to listen to voicemails kinda makes the phone part of this thing useless.
Help please!
Try Phone fusion Visual voice mail plus Ive been using it since the days of windows mobile and resistive touch screens and has served me through 3 phones including my current Note 2
Play link
It's free it lets you back up by forwarding to your email and lets you receive faxes.
used to have to dial something to activate it but now the app takes care of that for you.
Good luck
edit:
Oh you can also set up custom greetings for different people and block numbers its really powerful
it also will notify you of missed calls even if they dont leave a message and auto look up names for numbers in a phone book directory if they aren't in your address book sometimes it even flat out says telemarketer it's awesome.
Phone Fusion seems to work very well for me. Although I can't say I use the transcription part of it.
You can also try Better YouMail. It's in the Store.
Thanks guys. Tried Phone Fusion and it works perfectly. Bye bye Youmail.

You can forward it to Google Talk and get the transcribed mail too for free
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
Strange issue, I could send/receive text messages, and I could also make calls, but when trying to call my phone from another phone or if anyone else called me it would just ring like normal and go to voicemail, but my phone wouldn't ring or indicate that I had a call / missed call. This was fixed after a reboot but has anyone else had this issue?

I have the same issue I tried a reboot but the problem keeps coming back did that fix it permanently for you? Sometimes calls come in other times it just shows up as a voicemail.

I haven't had the issue since, but then again I wouldn't know unless someone texts me that they've been trying to call (I don't monitor my voicemail that closely...probably should though).
I've seen the exact same issue as well. I won't even get the call but the voice mail will show up if the caller left a message. Hopefully this is just a bad connection to the cell towers at the time the call was trying to get through and not some other issue.

Hi coming from the M8 forums and checking things out, and I had this issue and it was due to the tower being worked on in my area. I didn't have service for an entire month at my office or apt, which are less than a mile apart. Now I have poor data service but i can receive calls. You might want to contact Sprint and let them know ASAP
I cant receive calls but i can do outgoing and sms to others weird using international unlock lg g3 sprint
Same here...maybe 2 out 10 test calls I tried went through. I called sprint and they instructed me to re-provision the device using some ##7..something..something## dialer codes. My phone magically receives calls, but I have a feeling their re-provision crap didn't do anything to fix, it was just the re-boot part that "temporarily" fixed the incoming call problem.
