Voicemail notification - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I just bought a Galaxy S II and as soon as I put my Canadian Fido sim card
the voicemail notification appeared.
I tried different things but it does not want to go away.
I left a message to myself and then I listened it from my S II, I deleted it
and I press # to hung up but again nothing.
I removed my sim card and I inserted it again but nothing.
I erased everything on the phone and I set it up from scratch again nothing.
Finally I called Fido and I told them to reset my voicemail which they did
but again nothing.
As soon as I put my sim card to my motorola Atrix or my nexus one I dont get the voicemail indicator.
Has anyone faced this problem?
How do I remove the voicemail indicatior
Thanks

Simple answer: You can't.
You can turn the sound off of the notification but it's something sent from the carrier usually. Have you tried another SIM in the phone to see if it still stays there?
If not I'd say the first port of call -- as always -- is a factory reset.

I would have agreed with you but if my carrier where in this case Fido
keeps sending me the voicemail notification dont you think
I would have the notification to my motorola Atrix or Nexus one?
Also I called them up and they reset my voicemail
I did try a factory reset twice

Voicemail Icon Doesn't Clear (Virgin Mobile)

I have an unlocked XDA (32Mb). I am using it on Virgin (this uses the T-Mobile network). Problem is when I have a voicemail, after I pick it up, the voicemail icon doesn't clear so I have to soft reset . Has anyone experinced this? and/or is there a fix?
Orange have the same problem, the only way i've found is to delete your message then stay on the line for 5-6 seconds more before hanging up, then the icon seems to clear properly.
I tried deleting the voicemail message and staying on the line for about 20 seconds, but the icon still remains. The onyl way to get rid of it is still to soft reset

HELP NEEDED!!! Cant send or recive calls!? PLEASE HELP!!!...

EDIT: Just tried a 3 sim card and it worked so I will get another T-Mobile Sim to see if the problem is a didgy sim card...strage as the sim works when I put it in a micro sim to sim adapter in another phone!?
Im in the UK, with T-Mobile and randomly cant send/recieve calls or texts
I called T-Mobile and they refreshed the network settings but I still cant call...they said it wasnt anything to do with network coverage as it was displaying i had signal, but in call settings > additional settings or call forwarding > voice call:
it says "Network or Sim error"
my sim works in another phone too so its not a dodgy sim...so it is 100% down to the phone that I cannot call or recieve calls or texts so not just call settings being messed up, problem surfaced 2 hours after flashing Foxhound 0.3 (but in those 2 hour calls/texts were working)
I have done hard reset, and facory reset, restored a backup...also flashed stock XXLF2, and also LF8 but all with no luck
My IMEI number is displayed in about phone, it is displaying full signal, and T-Mobile in the dropdown menu and im able to use my mobile data from T-Mobile so what is wrong, and how can I fix this?
Would be forever grateful to whoever can help me out...even if your not sure any ideas are welcome as my £500 phone is as good as bricked to me!
I will take it into T-Mobile to see if they will replace the handset under warranty but how do I go about making it seem it hasnt been rooted or flashed custom ROM, I know I need Triangle away but what order etc?
Thanks allot

[Q] Cannot get rid of voicemail notification and icon

I bought an international unlocked GT-I9300 (it came from Germany/Vodafone). I am currently using it on T-Mobile USA prepaid and all is fine except I have a voicemail notification and associated icon on the home screen that I cannot get rid of.
The notification message says "Dial 5500" that I tracked down to the number used for accessing the Vodafone voicemail.
My assumption is that this is a pre-configured voice message for new Vodafone customers and because I am not not using Vodafone as my carrier I cannot clear it simply listening to the message.
Are there other ways to do it? I tried a software reset (pressing the power button for 10 secs) but it did not help.
I am using the stock firmware.
Thanks!

Call Forwarding notification won't go away.

So I have an international GS3 and I've tried stock, CM9, AOKP and Paranoid Android and on all of them the call forwarding icon in the notification bar stays there even though I can receive calls on my number. I checked with my carrier and they say call forwarding isn't on. I tried doing a factory wipe/reset to no avail. I'm not sure what else to try and do. I popped my SIM into my old 4S and the call forwarding icon showed up but I can turn it off in the settings but when I put it back in my GS3 it's still there. I tried a different sim card and no issues.
Edit: thanks to this thread I managed to fix this. I just put a number for it to forward to (even though it wasn't actually forwarding to any number) then I disabled it and it's gone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216643
Did the upgrade to Jelly Bean a few days back, while call forwarding was enabled (not sure if this is what caused it). Now, the "forwarding all calls" notification is always on.
I turn forwarding on and off every day, but the notification doesn't go away. Tried to use an app that uses the MMI code method, tried to remove all the forwarding options and put them back on, no dice.
Going into the settings themselves, everything works as it should, and I can turn forwarding on and off (and it works as expected). It's just the notification
Did everything but wipe my phone. Call forwarding shows up even without a SIM card in the phone.
Any suggestions? Anyone else get this?

I have the identical situation - upgrade to 4.1, icon stays on, tried the same things to remove it as you describe, icon never goes away. No help from AT&T or Samsung. I have been unable to find a solution.

Droid DNA not fully activating

I have a DNA that I am trying to let a friend use, but when he puts his SIM in the phone it doesn't fully activate. He has tried two SIM cards and I have tried another persons SIM and it will only get data. I changed some settings in a manual programming to his phone number and he could receive sms but still not able to make calls or send text messages.Whenever it dials out, it makes no sound, no dial tone and it says "null" in the upper left corner of the dialer. Has anyone heard of this or know anything that I can do to get his phone working. It is completely stock no s-off not rooted nothing. It has been factory reset too many times to count...
Edit: Looks like the OTA got it working!
