Hi guys!
So I got a brand new Verizon V10, It's unlocked, and I'm using it overseas with other carriers.
Every time I insert a local sim card (ie not vzn) I get this annoying notification about it (screenshot attached) - is there anyway to get rid of that?
One more question for you guys, I tried to look over the web, but I didn't see any possible way to wipe vzn version and flash a clean LG one to the device. So I guess there is no way to do it up to now. Am I wrong? Please tell me I am
Thanks!
That sim notification is always there with non verizon sims. You might be able to get rid of it with root. You can't flash other roms to a Verizon phone but you can root and uninstalled all the VZ crap
If you are rooted with Xposed, Notify Clean will allow you to get rid of just about any notification you want.

did you figure out how to remove the "sim not from verizon" notification permanently?

So after upgrading to ICS I have a voice mail icon on my notification bar. This is a data only device for me with no access to voice mail does anybody have an way to clear the icon?
Kirby
Ditto! Had it since first upgrading myself. Just figured out you can slide notifications away after pulling em all up, but sadly that one won't budge.
It's not a big problem, but does get rather annoying.
Has anyone tried removing the phone apks?

This does remove the notification but borks the entire system. No cellular reception at all if you remove the phone.apk and .odex.
similar issue here
I got my Mediapad 2 weeks ago and had to get a new TMO SIM to make calls (old SIM refused to connect to network). I have had the new voicemail icon ever since and I have not upgraded or rooted anything. I'm looking forward to getting a clue on this mystery!

The typical way to get rid of this is to call yourself and leave a voicemail then delete that voicemail. I've had this problem on Android devices in general on the last few iterations of the OS. The problem with the Mediapad is that most of us have a data only plan on our tablets.
I had a similar problem when I asked T-Mo to disable voicemail on my prepaid SIM. Ever since, any device I plug the SIM into remains convinced that there's a new voicemail. This has remained the case for 1.5 years now. Perhaps this is an overall problem with their provisioning of accounts that don't have voice/voicemail.

So getting a new SIM could possibly resolve the issue.

I doubt it. For an unrelated reason I had to do a SIM swap on one of my trips to the USA, and the VM icon problem persisted through to the new SIM.
I think it's an issue in the way the accounts are provisioned. And T-Mobile hasn't managed to figure out a solution because I tried with them several times.
Come on guys simple solution.go to settings->apps->look for phone app and clear data/cache if this doesnt work do the same to the dialer app. This only clears that pesky voicemail notifacation.doesnt clear voicemail inbox

For me at least this won't work because I have neither a phone app or a dialer app. Nothing to clear, I personally think this is a provisioning issue that T-Mobile needs to deal with.

That's the only way I know how to remove the voicemail icon. Can your device use the wifi calling feature? Maybe then you can do what the quote says...
FOUND IT!
I have a T-Mobile Springboard running ICS as well. I went to settings->apps->Mobile Data... and hit Clear Data. It should immediately get rid of the stupid VM icon and I still have access to the mobile data.

I'll have to try that when I get home. I meant to bring my tablet with me this morning but was running late. If this works, thanks for the tip!

I don't have any option to clear data so unless I'm missing something this isn't option for me.

Rkwhyte,
It is found in Settings->Applications->All apps->Mobile Data
from there select Clear data and BOOM the voicemail icon goes away. Don't touch mobile network configuration though.

The only problem I see though is if I turn the device completely on then turn it on again the VMail icon appears again. But that's okay. At least I know how to clear it when I'm working on my tablet so that I don't accidentally touch it again (which I've done many times). :laugh:
I have the same issue with my tablet plan :crying:
Hey guys,
I recently bought a Photon for use in India. It was taken there and then factory reset with an Indian sim in it. Everything works great, but I keep getting a blue popup at the bottom saying 1 voicemail pending. I don't know why and I can't seem to get rid of it! Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
We are looking for someone to either:
(a) Modify the stock messaging apk so when a MMS is sent it doesn't look to the SIM card for the MDN (invalid destination address error with non active LTE SIM card or another carrier's SIM card in phone).
OR
(b) Remove the "Insert SIM" red icon on the taskbar and the annoying popup telling you to insert the SIM card every time you power on or unlock the screen when there is no SIM card in the phone.
This is needed for people who want the stock messaging app to send MMS on Page Plus or another carrier and the phone to have the stock feel and look. We are not satisfied with apps like GO SMS PRO so please don't suggest that.
We want this for stock, rooted ME7 and are offering $150 to the first person who is capable of achieving this. If anyone else is interested in donating please post in the thread below.
If you need more details let us know.

I can remove the "insert sim" red icon for sure. I can get rid of the start-up pop-up as well but it creates other issues that I haven't had a chance to figure out or fix yet. hopefully that amounts for half the bounty
PM me and we can work it out.
Ok the MMS apk is easy.... Use 8sms from the play store, stock feel with a few other improvements.
Now as far as the actual stock apk, for the ones that do not like this one and I have no clue why they would not. I am working on that also.
No Bounty needed or expected when I get it working, save your money for your hobbies

Thank you for this thread! I have been searching for a working solution to help a friend get the stock messaging app to work on his Verizon S4 flashed to Boost (no SIM card). He can send/receive SMS and can receive MMS. But can't send MMS. Yesterday, I decompiled the stock messaging app to see if I can find anything that sticks out...nada...but I have to admit, I only spent an hour looking.
Have this same problem as well on a Verizon Note 3 and Note 2.
I agree that Go SMS Pro is not an ideal workaround. It's too damn bloated.
I experimented with the following mmsc in /system/etc/apns-config.xml to see if the phone's MDN can be sort of hard coded in, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I've read that this workaround worked fine on other phones (older phones that is) so it was worth a try.
mmsc="http://mm.myboostmobile.com/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=3105551234", where 3105551234 is your 10 digit MDN/phone number.
To get rid of the "No SIM" on the notification bar, I editted the build.prop and appended these lines at the bottom of the file:
# Remove No SIM message
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
ro.config.donot_nosim= true

Hey good morning,
I read your post on the thread in regards to the pesky "No Sim Card Error" and I wanted to know if that worked out with no other issues? And you also mentioned you edited the "build.prop" now my question is did you edit with an android app or did you exported to your pc and then edit from there? When you get time if you could respond I would really appreciate it . Also one more thing did you try this with a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Sprint yet?
Yes, it worked with no issues. I've used Root Explorer and EFS File Explorer to directly edit the build.prop. I've done it on Sprint and Verizon Galaxy S4 and Note 3 phones.

I can confirm, this also works on rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 with custom ROM (MOAR) Thanks!

And for texting and Calling, Just Install TextPlus on Google Play
Anyone know of a trick to getting AT&T Visual Voicemail to work on Unlocked T-Mobile? The app will install, but not connect during setup process.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
****EDIT*** It turns out that is was an AT&T issue when they provisioned my SIMS for LTE they didn't setup my email.
Thanks everyone for the help!

I have it working just fine. I downloaded the app from the app store and opened it up. After opening the app, I was prompted to dial my voicemail. Then entered my password. I had no new messages so I closed it out and then was prompted to enter my voicemail password in visual voicemail. Haven't had any issues. I am using an international ROM as well

Wonder why I'm having a problem. I'm running Alliance rom from the international thread. It ask me to enter the 10 digit mail box number of the person I'm trying to reach and when I enter my phone number it says sorry can't find the mail box. A third party app works so I'm wondering if my problem might be carrier related.
Thank you for your response.

i'M ON 3.1 I think it's carrier related because it does the same on other roms. Plus I had to get AT&T to provision my sim card for LTE. I'm sure they screwed something up.

That's odd. I didn't have to do any of that. I purchased my phone from T-Mobile, SIM unlock through Cellunlocker.net, changed my APN settings and I was good to go. It shouldn't make a difference as I am using an unlocked T-Mobile variant and my VVM is working fine. Send me a PM around 7PM EST or so and I can see if I can get it working for you.

I'm glad that you got it taken care of. I know how frustrating it can be for a phone not to function as intended.
I'm trying to use a T-Mobile sim in a VS987 and I constantly get the following error message in my notifications: "Sim card is not from verizon wireless"
To make matters worse, every single time I open up a web browser the entire screen gets blurred and I'm hit with the error message: "No internet connection - please contact customer service at (800) 922-0204."
My mobile data works, and having to see that message every single time I open a web browser is very frustrating. I getting help from a few Verizon reps and the last one was such an asshole. When I didn't want to come back to Verizon he was pretty much like "there's nothing I can do", was incredibly aloof, and rude-toned.
Does anyone know how to get around this? All help would be appreciated. I just purchased this phone little over a month ago and I regret it so much that I cannot return it.
You need to edit the apn settings, and the message will not go away, just swipe it away

If you followed that it should work. You may need to do a factory reset if nothing else is working. I had a Verizon g5 before on t-mobiles network without any issues other than it telling me it's not a Verizon sim but data worked and I used browser without any message. I returned it though and ended up getting the t mobile version for root and custom ROMs.
