I've been having trouble trying to get my voicemail notification to work. I use tdj's cm7.2 and every time I need to dial mail center to find out if I have any new msgs. I've tried adjusting in call settings and even tried third party apps like youmail, but it just wouldn't work. I heard visual voicemail was good, but I couldn't find it on the market.
Is there any way to fix this problem? or does anyone know of a better app I could try? I would really appreciate any help on this. Its getting quite frustrating.
Moved to Q&A.

Hey,
I get quite a few voicemails every day & I had the same trouble with my HD2... that I have to call the voicemail number (901) in order to find out if any have been left for me...
This is the one (and only) thing I really miss from my iphone... it would just display notifications like sms/email to let you know you had a voicemail, who it was from and you could play it/delete it straight from the screen.
The only thing I'm interested in is notification - am happy to manage from calling 901... but would really like something to let me know
Any app for this?
EDIT: Note... I don't mean these visual voicemail things I've seen on the app store where you have to re-direct to another server and they convert it to text for you... cheers
Try Hullomail. It's free. When you get a missed call, you get an email and a notification from the app. Also will email you your voicemail or you can do it through the apps UI. It's great
Just downloaded this & very much like the look of it but I'm on Virgin UK, the settings don't include this o I tried T Mobile but just keep getting an invalid mmi message. Any advice? Cheers...

But...when you say you could see it on the screen and play/delete it right from there, that is EXACTLY what you're asking for. The conversion to text is a secondary feature to services like Ribbit.

Should have ellabourated more... it's the idea of my voicemails going to a random 3rd party i don't like the idea of
Their main "selling" point seems to be these (pointless as far as i can tell) voice->text conversions :S
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.

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.

hey doug... thanks for getting back.. i have done that and still same thing... now if i dial the voicemail app it lets me check it but i dont get notifications as to me having voicemail... and if i go in to check i get another text as if i got something even though its empty
It's getting really annoying, every ROM I flash, it appears. I've tried few things to clear from switching to Google Voice, to sending myself a voicemail, and then reading it to get the notification away but nothing helps..any suggestions?
Are you deleting the voice mails? I've never had an issue with the voicemail icon sticking. Every time I get a voicemail i listen to it and either save it or delete it by pressing "7" on the dial pad. Another solution would be to change the voicemail notification icon to a transparent image.

Voice mail notification
Hi,
I have the same problem here. It seems to be linked to Gmail account, as it appears on two separate phones as soon as I set up Gmail account. I wil try to do some more investigation. I deleted ALL voicemails from my Google Voice and the notification is still there. Restart of the phone does not renove it. Any settings changes in the Google Voice seem not to affect the notification. Maybe Gmail settings?
Did anybody found a workaround? It is annoying as it takes one more line of the notifications and I get a lot of texts, e-mails and ebay notifications and I would like to see as many as possible just by sliding down thenotification bar.
Thanks
Running Galaxy S2 T-mobile with 4.0.4 stock.
try downloading VisualVoicemail on the market and open it up see if its giving you any new notifications in there if so delete from the app and should be good to go after that its what i use to make sure they dont hang on my bar
I am not 100% sure if it's a configuration issue or a ROM issue. I don't get that many voicemails so I don't know exactly when the problem started (I install about every other nightly - currently running 8/1).
Problem - when someone leaves me a VM, instead of getting the icon alert on the top I get an sms. When I delete the VM or listen to it, I get another SMS. The SMS for new VM looks like this
//VZWVVM.SYNC:ev=NM;id=7;c=1;t=v;s=<phone number of the caller here>;dt=03/08/2015 10:30 -0700;l=9;dev_t=5
The sms for the deleted or listened message looks like this
//VZWVVM.SYNC:ev=MBU;dev_t=5
Any thoughts or ideas as to what could be the cause of this and how to fix it??? It is somewhat annoying.

I too had this issue when running any ROM other than stock ROMs; I came across your post searching for a solution. When I was running CM12.1, I started using a 3rd party for voicemail. There is an app in the Play Store that will redirect your voicemail forwarding number. It was okay and I ended up switching back to stock for the camera.
I'm interested in going back to non-stock, so if anyone has a fix, that'd be great.
