Ok, So I've dug up my old Palm Pre so that I can activate it on sprint and clear my voicemails out which will hopefully clear the voicemail indicator on CM7/CM9/MIUI that I seem to be stuck with.
My Question is, when I go back to activate my Epic after clearing the voicemail do I need to be on a stock rom to do the activation? My gut tells me that CM7/CM9/MIUI would be a no go. Do I need to go back to BML/stock or would something like CleanGB MTD activate ok?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: So I went ahead and tried to swap to the Pre, but the website said it would require a plan change... Not fooling with that... Called *2 and the girl said she reset my vm indicator. Maybe that will help.
Yeah I'm having the same issue too. I already tried contacting sprint to see if they could clear my voicemail inbox, but instead they freakin got rid of my 3g, forcing me to flash an ei22 rom to reactivate my phone.
I just want to know if anyone has found a way to either block it, or just hide it, in cm9.
Any suggestions?

not sure if it will work but you can access your VM from a landline by calling your mobile number when your VM answers hit * then just enter your passcode of you have one then you should beable to clear your messages that way

I've tried that. Unfortunately since I use google voice leaving a message on my VM would not affect the notification since it's from Sprint.
I just wish there was a way I could contact the CM team (not the epic devs, the official team) to have them incorporate a "hide voicemail notifications" feature.
Ok, I had this problem before. I called *2, and just told them that I needed to do an esn swap to my non android phone to clear my voicemal, cause I had a phantom message that wouldn't go away, and that I would be calling back shortly to swap back to my epic. They did it with no problem. I used clean gb mtd rom on my epic. Now I no longer have the phntom voicemail.
Crazy thing is, when the old phone was activated, I called and left myself a message, but when I called to delete my voice mail, that was the only message in there.
Don't worry about the plan change thing. Just briefly explain your situation and all should be ok. I am on a shared plan with 4 lines though. Not sure if that would make a difference, but I think you should be fine either way.
Anyway, I know its a big pain, but it was worth it for me, cause that icon was pissing me off!

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 have no idea what happened, but on I Thursday (I *think) I was no longer able to send texts (no idea if I can still receive them, I don't get too many). However I think I can still get calls (Again, not sure). At first I thought MIUI was starting to glitch on me or something so I went back to CM7.0.3.1. I tried to update my radios from the latest EVO Gingerbread release but it doesn't work with ClockworkMod 3.0 I guess.
What do I do?
Well I guess I screwed something up when setting up Google Voice I think. Now people get "The recipient you are sending to has chosen not to recieve messages." whenever they text me. I don't know what I did.
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem, I lost the ability to receive texts around the same time. If you did get it solved, let me know.

No, didn't find anything. I just resorted to using Google Voice for texting; after Googling around and making a thread on reddit, nothing has worked.
Did either of you recently try wiping battery stats? I've found that if I wipe battery stats with ClockworkMod, for some reason I lose the ability to receive texts.
Same thing happened to me only it highjacked my incoming calls and texts....I tried everything, including deleting my Google acct.,..called Sprint, I had to unroot my Evolution, put stock ROM back on, called them back, we were able to input some codes in the dialer. to reset phone. The leech known as Google Voice is finally gone, rerooted, good to go. SPRINT was actually cool with me being rooted. SPRINT kicks ass! Good luck!

Really?! Do you remember what the numbers were or if Sprint has them on their website or something?
Google sprint tech support, their toll free number will pop up, call from a landline, not your cell so they can reactivate your phone

Hello,
New to the GN, I was wondering if anyone managed to successfully put Sprint's VVM on their GN?
I never noticed it's not available on the Market til now.
Why not just use Google Voice? I hate it!
I can't even tell you how many times that freakin app would just automatically disregard my calls altogether by sending them to VM OR forward me the caller on their 4+ ring....by the time I answered the call (on 'my' first or second ring) they were hanging up. This happened even after it first time I noticed it was going on and fixed the settings online on my pc (cuz it wont let you do it on the app). I had this issue at least 3x so I'm done with that app.
Thnx!
Am I the only person who wants Sprints VVM on my GN?
NO! It's one of the features I miss coming from my EVO & CM7. I had gotten so used to it, never gave it any thought that it wouldn't be on the new phone. I need some VVM app!
I'm also coming from the original Evo.......I always used VVM but actually liked Google Voice, at first, thought it was neat having a back up log of my text messages and calls available online. Unbeknownst to me though I was missing a LOT of calls and picking up late even though it was only ringing once or twice at my end. I use my phone for work so it became a problem, once I linked the problem to Voice, I got rid of it. Mind you, deleting the app doesn't do squat to the settings, so the problem continues til you DELETE the association to your number online.
I never had any problems with Sprint's VVM and I want it back!
I don't know if copying the VVM apk will work and I'd rather not fudge up this new phone so I'm here asking if anyone else has tried it?!?!?
