Whenever I start my Xda Orbit, it alerts me that I have 1 voice mail. I don't know where this is coming from, but it is really bugging me. I checked the mailbox and there were no messages. Even after a hard reset and taking out my sim card, it still tells me that I have one voice mail. I haven't seen anyone with that problem but I hope someone can help me fix this problem.
Thanks!
Voicemail
Hi, what network are you with?
I have a XDA Orbit on Vodafone, and I got this Voicemail Icon.
I removed it by setting up voicmail, and connecting.
I also have this problem i have a voicemail icon but can not get rid of it. i have got voicemail turned on and this does not get rid of it when you call voicemail.
I have also tried leaving a voicemail so that there is one to erase and it still will not go when i remove the viicemail.
Any ideas will be much apreciated as this is bugging me to.
I am on o2
i'm with o2 in germany. i walked into a o2 store today and the guy there didn't know what was wrong either. I'm supposed to call the service hotline and tell them to transfer me to the data hotline. I'll post if the problem get fixed.

On my unlocked Dash I get a text message everytime I get a voice mail, does anyone know how to turn this off? I get about 20 VM's per day so you can see how this would bother me.. I hate getting a Text Message for every Voice Mail.
Please Help or I may end up switching back to my Blackberry which I don't want to do..
Thanks

Thats more of the telco problem, not the phones.
I never had this problem before when I was using my blackberry? Only since I switched phones to my unlocked Dash do I get the text message for voice mail.

It's something related to your carrier, not the phone. The phone isn't sending itself a text message. Maybe the Blackberry receives a SMS notification of voicemail that is handled differently, and your Dash is receiving it as a text message... Have you signed up for Blackberry service with your carrier? Have you updated your account to non-Blackberry service? Who's your carrier? Have you contacted them at all about this?
I am using Rogers in Canada. I have a blackberry account as I am using BB Connect since my company won't allow us to connect to the exchange server directly.
I have talked to Rogers and they said it have to be the phone. We I get a VM, i get the little VM message at the top of my home screen so that is working it is just the darn text message that bothers me..
just double check.. is it a text mesage that goes into your Inbox, or just a notification bubble?
Anyway, if it is a text, a quick and dirty way to solve is temp is to have a SMS blocker in place, to filter out these messages.
Hey cool so is that is piece of software SMS Blocker? if it works like email filtering that would work.. Where can I find a SMS Blocker or is a function of the phone?
Thanks great idea!!
The reason you get a text everytime you get a new voicemail is because your "unlocked" phone does not support the the MWI ( message waiting indicator) that your mobile provider uses. I have T-mobile and they use the reel to reel icon that pops up on the top of the screen when you get a new voicemail. If you have an unlocked phone it may not support the icon your providers phones use.
I've had numerous phones with this company(by choice). I am currently using an unlocked phone that was configured for another carrier's network, some of the features do not work the same, including the Message Waiting Indicator. The goods new is you can probably stop this by having your mobile company take the Message Waiting Indicator off all together. But the Bad news is, then of course you will not be notified when you get a new voicemail.
It's a feature of the Rogers network. I have it on my account too. Still debating whether I like it or not though. I think it's part of the "WhoCalled" feature they have, but I'm not sure. It's definitely part of your Rogers service plan though.
Temp Fix for Rogers network SMS after VM
Hi, I had the same problem. It was really getting to me. Now using phone guard 1.09
Works well.
After download, DONT fill in the country code, or area code screen, just leave blank.(or you will not recieve calls, they will be send to vm, ????not sure why)
On the block screen, fill in ( [email protected] ) {for rogers} in the tel sms #, Name it what ever you want.
No more text after vm.
Later
p.s. the program runs in the back ground. Uses the least mem though.
I know there are a couple of threads about this already but mine is a little different.
I got O2 XDA Orbit from ebay - put in my VodafoneUK sim card and everything works fine, MMS, GPRS, Internet and even GPS (don't know if the last one matters) - I haven't upgraded or changed any software or anything but my SMS text messages won't work - they sit in outbox for a minute or so then I get the error msg "your text message cannot be sent".
Ant help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Silly question but does the actual phone work - ie can you call out OK?
Can you receive messages?
My Orbit will receive OK but not always send in a poor signal area.
Stew,
Sorted It!!!!
To your answer sloss yes everything else works but I know what it is now.
I tried Start>Settings>Phone>Services...Voicemail and Text Messaging...select and then Get Settings........BUT it actually receives the WRONG yes the WRONG message centre number from the network.
Got a friends UK Vodafone phone and just copied his message centre number and Viola it worked fine, I'm so happy I could cry!!
Just thought this might help some others who may be having this problem.
Ok I been on the rom Im on for a good long while, and I had pretty much all the bugs worked out. Then I switched to T-Mo and everything seemed ok till somebody calleed me and I decided I didnt want to talk to them. They left a voicemail and I called and pressed 7 on it and it deleted just fine, but my phone is still sayin I got a voicemail. Anybody know how to fix, and does anybody know what T-Mo charges for the visual voicemail service?
Hey,
I the have the same issue. The light flashes to indicate a v/m. I listen to the message and delete or save it but the light continues to blink indefinately.
In the end I decided to deactivate the visual alert for voicemails. I figured if someone leaves a message the likelyhood is that I have a missed call as well so the visual alert for that would grab my attention.
Good luck, I'm interested to know if there is a fix out there...
Btw I have an unbranded TP2 and the issue occured whilst I was on both the Orange UK and T-Mobile Network so I'm guessing it's a phone problem not network.
I've heard of people having phantom sms count issues but never voicemail.... I don't know if this will help but in the past I know people have used this file (attached)
just unpack it to your phone or storage card... run the .exe and a program will run telling you its clearing your count numbers etc then close. Reset the phone and HOPEFULLY it will fix your problem.
The problem is with the network and the settings. At least that's what I have experienced in Canada. When you bring an unlocked phone on to a network sometimes there are some little issues with network services. I would call an get the notification icon disabled through your provider. It's something they can control and it might solve the problem, but create another. like Eclipsed24 said .. it makes it not come up at all, but I'm sure if you miss a call ... you'll check your voicemail

updated voicemail app, and now I can't get my msg's on my phone. Does Anybody know how to fix this?
HTC Mobile 4G
Also re-installed the old voicemail app. and still no luck.
Don't know if this will help, But I had a similar problem a couple months ago. Try going into the voice mail app and compose a new msg to: [email protected] and make a blank recording for at least 5 seconds. then send it. it should re-activate your voice mail.
just recently found this post. will give this try.

As per the topic, I am on Three in the UK and the voicemail notification doesn't ever switch off, even after deleting voicemails (no saved voicemails either).
I was previously with EE/Orange with this phone (as well as in USA & Canada), and the notification disappeared moments after deleting messages with all other providers. It makes me think there is something different about the way Three deals with voicemail as opposed to a purely Android 5.0 fault as I upgraded prior to moving to Three.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate. I have tried other solutions online (leaving myself a voicemail and waiting before hanging up after deleting it, ending the process of the 'phone' app, etc) to no avail.
Thanks BT
Any ideas dudes.... this is figuratively killing me!
Any thoughts yet???
Can only get rid of it temporarily by ending the phone app but returns on either getting a new voicemail and then won't disappear, or when restarting.
Best, BT

I am still plagued by a permanent notification on my screen. 3 apparently doesn't send the typical 'ping' about voicemails and only sends SMS so they don't reset normally as do other networks. I can clear it manually, but as soon as I get a new voicemail, its there again until I clear manually again.
Problem permanently resolved -- I went to 3 and got a new SIM card and the problem is completely solved.
