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

Hello folks,
Running sc2.9.1v with the eb16 kernel.
I have google voice configured for voicemail, and it's working like it should when new voicemail actually arrives...
The notification I'm talking about isn't the google voice notification, but rather it's the envelope + tape reel icon that when tapped actually dials my voicemail number (where I'm told I have no voicemail).
Is it stuck on or does it go away? If its stuck on dial into your vzw voicemail leave a message and hang up.call back in listen and delete the message then press * a few times til the call ends
right - thanks. It occurred to me as I posted this query that it may be my vzw vmail (rather than google voice). notification never clears, but that's likely because the dial action calls my google voice number, not vzw.
Now if I can just remember my vzw vmail pin...it's been a long time...
Silly me! An actual voice mail had snuck in to my vzw vmail box while I was rebuilding my phone (after a data wipe before flashing sc2.9v). I guess it defaults to carrier vmail until it's changed back to google voice.
Thanks again...
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.
I can't get this voice mail icon out of my status bar I click it it dials my voice mail and says it's empty I already set it up any ideas please

looks to be a bug at this time.. I have the issue as well as many others I know. If someone's got a solution that would be great!
call your phone and leave yourself a message and access your voicemail via that notification icon.

I solved it by leaving a voicemail for myself from another phone. After I deleted that voicemail, it went away finally.
The problem I always had was that my phone number automatically forwards to google voicemail.
The solution i found to work is this:
1.use that notification to call t-mobile's voicemail system
2. when it says you do not have a VM, press (2?) to send a message to another user
3.Enter your number as the recepient
4. leave a short message.
5. send it
Now hang up, use the notification to call your VM box again, and you will have one message to delete. this got rid of my notification. happened last time I upgraded to the G2X as well. This is not device specific. it has something to do with google voice.
Well ty that did the trick leaving a message to my self ty to all who responded much appreciated

That worked for me, but then later I got a voice mail from somebody else and checked it. Deleted it but the icon remained. So I had to call myself and leave a message and then it finally cleared. Hopefully it doesn't happen all the time. It's pretty annoying.
Go to settings>application manager then go to phone. Clear data. Icon disappears.
I had the same problem. I called t mobile at 611 and the lady walked me through the process. My problem was tough because I had Google Voice as my voicemail, so that overrides tmobile voicemail. Anyways, she basically erased my google voice voicemail and set up the new voicemail with tmobile. Icon is not there and I got rid of that stupid google voice.
Hi All,
I am facing a problem in my Lumia 800. I am facing the same issue. My phone was in locked state. A message appeared saying that I have a voicemail even though I have not set up my voicemail on the phone. After that this message is just stuck, it is continuously showing up on phone notification hub as well as in the locked screen notifications.
I have tried the following:-
- Reset the phone
- Setup Voicemail
- Sent voicemail messages to my phone. Listened to them and then deleted them.
Now I do not have any message in my voicemail but still this notification is stuck and is continuously on.
Please help.

are you on tmobile? I had that problem, I called them and had them turn on visual voicemail (its free) and then in call setting turned the visual voicemail on. The notification went away.

No I am on a different carrier. I will try calling my carrier and ask them to enable visual voicemail. Btw i don't see any visual voicemail option in call settings right now. The only option I see is the voicemail number.

I called my carrier helpline. They say that they don't have visual voicemail. I am stuck now. Please help.
This happened to me last night on my Lumia 800. I listened and saved it and it still showed up. Rang up again and it said no new voicemails. I had to delete the voicemail for it to disappear. I know that doesn't really help you but I have had issues with it....
On a similar note I had the same problem with a text message over the weekend. I read it and the notification on the messaging hub wouldnt go away, it showed on the lock screen and my girlfriends tile pinned to the start screen. That eventually disappeared after i clicked on and off it numerous times.
And over the last few days my Me tile has stopped working properly. It keeps telling me I have notifications even though it's days old. It keeps disappearing then re-appearing. Very annoying.

Hi Zeeshan,
I am having the same problem on my 920. I see your post is more than an year old. Were you able to find any solution to remove that Voice mail notification icon...?
If yes, please let me know the procedure to get rid of it.
Thanks.
So I have google voice set up for my voicemail. I noticed that this has not been working. I had to reset up my phone and then it stopped working again. It looks like when they phone is set to forward my calls to my watch, it disables google voice forwarding and my att voicemail program then pics up. I was wondering if any one knows how I can get this working again.
I went and removed my phone from google voice and then reactivated it but once my phone starts to forward me calls it no longer works.
Just wanted to see what other google voice users are doing.
They both use the same entry for your phone line: conditional forwarding. So, you can only have one at any time. When you setup auto-forwarding, it will change the conditional forwarding to Gear S number and when it no longer need forwarding, it resets which will be back to your network default that is your voice mail number.
I set up my gear s # as an additional phone in Google voice and had t-mobile turn off voice mail for it, that way I don't need to worry about calls forwarding.
I don't use my Google voice number as my main number so I like the forwarding set up. I wonder if I can have my voicemail number changed on my phone to my Google voice number.

Go to the google voice web site & look in settings under that number. It should say "activate voicemail" and it'll give you a code to dial on the phone. It's something like *444*YOURNUMBER*# or something like that. But the gear forwarding will always disable GV when it's enabled.

The only other thing i can think of is using the short code to set your watch to use google voicemail so your phone would forward to the watch & the watch would forward to GV if you missed it on the watch. It's just a thought but I'm waiting to use gear forwarding for that reason so lemme know if you find a setup that works.
One option is to turn off all forwarding in the watch and phone, then set up both the watch and phone normally in Google Voice.
All calls will be sent to both the phone's number and the watch's number. For whatever reason, the phone tends to ring at least 3 or 4 seconds before the watch rings, so there's no problem with multiple ringing devices. If neither the phone or watch are answered, the call will go to Google Voice voicemail.
Also, within Google Voice Settings / Phone, click "Activate Google voicemail on this phone" and dial the number string indicated. You'll have to do this twice, once through the phone, and again through the watch. An important note is that the phone needs to be disconnected from the watch when you dial the code through the watch.
The easiest method is just to put the phone into airplane mode before dialing the number from the watch.
