Ive flashed this phone with 2 different Roms and the icon that says i have a voicemail wont go away. And no i dont have a voicemail. Anyone know how to fix this?
Just call yourself from a different phone and leave a message. Check it the old fashioned way by actually calling voicemail and listen to the message, delete it with 7 and let it actually delete and the hang up. That should clear it up. Had to do it with my vibe every once in a while if I didn't listen to the whole message it would just sorta hang.

OK I know this has been brought up a few times in the CM threads. I get this ghost VM notification on CM6 and on all the nightlys. I also am getting this ghost VM notification on the MIUI rom. I do NOT get this notification on ANY sense ROMs I have tried.
I read this Forum everyday as much as I can. I have tried search. Every thing that comes up close to what I have going on doesn't seem to get fully answered as to why this is coming up on some phones and not others.
I flashed CM6 and a few nightlys on my Wifes phone and She has NEVER received the *86 VM notification.
I am always updated to the most current PRL, PRI and NV. Nothing I have tried will clear this message. On the CM6 ROM I can hit the clear button under the notification bar and that clears it for a little while but then the damn thing comes back.
Can anyone explain this and offer up a FIX. I know I'm not the only one.
Any one have any help on this?

I guess I'm in the club also. Same problem when I was on Vaelpak. Flashed back to stock, rooted, for a while. Now on Fresh.
Settings>Call>Voicemail> Change the number from *86 to whatever your phone number is.

Thank you Brutus for the input.
I know all about that part of the set-up. This DOES NOT get rid of the Ghost notification. I still will get a notification that I have a voice mail (and YES I have checked to make sure my VM's are cleared out).
Just FYI I use google voice when I am on CM6 or nightlys. Google Voice works great but still will not clear the VM notification.

Dont skip my post I am going to say two diffrent things . First normaly you get the notification because you received a voicemail. The stock rom has a code writen in to block that text so that you dont see the notification when you receive a voicemail.
Now Jetdr I will try to answer your question here. I think your voicemail hasnt been provisioned. Click on your VVM app and hit menu, when you hit menu you should have 3 options, compose, search and settings. If you have a 4th option that says unsent or undelivered click it. When VVM sets up, it automaticly sends a voicemail to the server to setup your VVM. If that message doesnt get sent then it probably never will. You will have to uninstall the VVM.Apk and reinstall the app. One time when I was setting up CM6 I had to install the voicemail apk several times before I got it to provision correctly. If it doesn provision a minute or two after you install it then its not going to. Not sure if this is whats causing your ghost voicemail text but I am thinking this is it. The easiest way to tell is to just click the vvm app and see if it shows four options or three. It should only show three.
If you are using google voice you dont still have the sprint VVM installed do you? If you dont have the sprint VVM installed then I am not sure whats causing your issue considering my directions to fix your issue is in regardes to the sprint vvm app.
Hope that helps.
I've tried all that and more.... nothing fixes it. I've concidered calling sprint but don't want to ruin my insurance..

Twilk... thanks so much for the response. I did all you suggested and I flashed back over to the newest MIUI ROM and I still have the VM notification. I made sure I didn't have any voice mails before I flashed. The notification will not clear even with the settings selected to not show.
Initially it has the *86 number but when I change the VM settings to my number it of course then comes up in the drop down box with my number.
The same thing happens on CM ROMs.

My notification says 4 voicemails... so I'm wondering if when I rooted my phone I had voicemails.. I don't really listen to my voicemails.. i'd rather just receive a text from someone... I just wish that I had made sure to clear my box before I rooted.. not sure if this is the reason for it... but it doesn't seem like there are many users with this problem. I'm sort of anti-twitter or I would ask cyanogen myself.. this is soo annoying! Especially since I hate voice mail to begin with.. I don't read my bills much, but I think sprint charges for voicemail.. anyway I can cancel my voicemail service? Also they charge me to keep a spending limit.. I want to call sprint and ask to cancel my voicemail..

Updates ???
Feb 3 - 2011
Anybody ever figure this one. Or do we just clear the message on each reboot?
Clear dalv. and cache,then change *86 to your mobile number then block 9016 from your sprint account.I added youmail and mine works perfect.I get txt and VM very quick.If the person that left you the voice mail is in your contacts it will show them as leaving the VM and you can just tap on there pic and it will play the ones they left you.
And I have no phantom notifications or anything odd.

Here. That's the only known way to get rid of it. It's a PITA but it works.
I have a voicemail constantly in my status bar even tho when I try to call it doesn't say anything and when I go to visiual voicemail nothing new. It's annoying any idea for a fix? Thanks

what rom are you using.
If you're running an AOSP rom, that's a known bug. There is a thread floating around here with instructions on how to get rid of it. It involves flashing a stock rom, then activating an old non android phone, deleting all messages, reactivating the evo, updating profile and prl and then restoring your AOSP nandroid.
Not sure if it's worth all that

HAHA classic answer. I was thinking the same thing...that is a bunch of doo doo to get rid of a VM icon. WHOA!
I don't know if anyone has tried this, but whenever I had this issue with my old non android phones, I would have somebody call and leave me a message, and then I'd call my VM and delete the new message. It always fixed the notification when there weren't actually any messages. I don't know if the same would work with an android phone.

It doesn't. The only way is to call sprint, activate an old "dumb" phone, have sprint leave you an urgent voicemail, delete it, reactivate your android and it's all good.
I used to say it isn't worth it, but the 30 minutes it took to get rid of it was worth it to me. That damn icon and occasional notification sound just eats at you over time.
It seems that when I delete a voicemail from visual voicemail, it still keeps it in my box like it was never deleted, though it shows as being deleted in the phone, but I call my voicemail and its still there. I am on CM7, which could be a issue, anyone have any suggestions?
No suggestions but I have the same issue
Been having the exact sane problem. Ill see what I can do.
Ok so I think I found the fix. All I did was turn off the phone, remove the battery for around 3 minutes and I booted back up. The notification had dissapeared.
Some other Guy on another forum said he turned off voicemail. It was under the advance settings on vm I didn't have that option though. Turn off vm then turn off phone, remove the battery for a few mins (I say 3) and turn the phone back on and turn vm back on as well.
I had my brother call and leave me a vm and I made sure it wasn't sticking.
Also I had this problem when I flashed into cyanogen, did you restore the vm app with titanium backup from stock?
Hope this helps.

I restored VVM from myn's rom. And it doesnt really have anything to do with the notification, when i delete it in VVM, i can just clear the notification bar and it doesn't stay or come back until someone leaves another msg.
Oh sorry I misunderstood. Sorry bro I'm not sure what you can do about that...try accessing your voicemail from another phone and see if it changes anything. I doubt it but its worth the shot...

I've never tried it before, but I've heard good things about Youmail. I like Google voice, but it seems like a lot of others also like youmail, so give it a shot and see if its what you're looking for. Should be available in the market.

In the settings menu, did you put your device's phone number in the slot for the voicemail number? If not, do so.

hey doug...just erased the *86 from it and put my phone # but still same thing... any other ideas? also any way i can clear the sprint VMM thing its just up on top status bar even if i dont have any messages
Go to Menu-Settings-Call settings. Under Voicemail Service, select "my carrier" and underneath it, select "voicemail settings" and then type in your phone number without any parenthesis or hyphens. That *should* work for you. It does for me. As for the Sprint VVM, I don't use it. As a matter of fact, I delete it from the /system/app folder using a system level file manager like Root Explorer.

It sounds like they are on a pay as you go tarrif and every time he starts his phone a service on his phone uses his credit/balance.
Is this right chiujiewei?
Is it a text/SMS message or is it a notification from an app? Are you using a custom ROM or stock? Any chance of a screenshot of this in action?
thanks for the reply i found the solution..its a text/SMS message receive from the service.. there was preoblem in the message settings where push messages etc are mentioned..each time an sms is sent automatically at phone start without me knowing
i just disabled the option and reset the message settings
this helped me..thankyou all for ur considerations
