VM notification will not go away!

[putney1477]

I am rooted and have SS installed.

Just last week, my VM symbol showed up. I use google voice and have been for a few years now. It was the stock VM symbol. So, I listened to my messages in stock (not GV) and deleted them. The symbol still stuck. I removed the battery and restated, still nothing. I even went into the phone app and force stopped the phone app. The icon went away on my status bar for a few hours, then it reappeared!

Its just frustrating.....normally I would just put a piece of black electrical tape over whatever was bothering me.....this...well, I can't.

I have searched several forums and there used to be a setting somewhere that would just clear the notifications.
I have not changed anything with my stock VM or GV settings in years.

Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden.

Thanks in advance

Did you wipe cache and data in the phone app?

I tried that too. Strangely enough...I just re setup GV and it went away! Whew, it was making me nuts!!


Thanks for your help!

This happened to me on my Galaxy Nexus. Ended up having to call verizon to have them reset my voicemail. I also use google voice.

It's doing it again every time I power down my phone and turn it back on, the dang icon is back in my status bar. I force close the phone app and it goes away. Looks like I'm going to call Verizon. Thanks

I'm having the same issue, it just happened to me today and I have google voice as well. I can't even get into my stock voicemail inbox. When I call the stock voicemail it goes to my google voice recording.

Have u found a fix? And why is this all of a sudden happening to us around the same time?

 

[putney1477]

I wish I could say I have found a fix....... I just force close the phone app every time I reboot.

Strangely enough this exact thing happened to me yesterday. I resolved the problem by:

1. Change VM provider in phone settings back to Verizon VM.
2. Open voicemail app and (if available) sign up for the visual VM demo (or call the VM number, you should be able to get in now).
3. You should have one or more VM's in the stock system, make sure they are all marked as read, notification should go away.
4. Switch your BM provider back to Google Voice and now you should be good to go.
5. If you signed up for the Visual VM demo, you can cancel it now.

This has worked for me so far, rebooted multiple times and the notification has yet to return.

Wow that actually worked, thank you so much. What is weird is that I did have a voicemail from yesterday that went to the stock app, not google voice which is strange. What caused it to do that?
