Since installing Cm6 my visual voicemail has not worked

I don't understand it. I even did a nandroid back to my old ava v6 and I still get the text notification. How do I fix this?

visual voicemail not working?
It should work, assuming you installed all the nice Sprint apps.
I still get the text notification?
There is that clear command that gets rid of notifications, but no real fix in CM6. I suggest you stick to a ROM based on the latest OTA.

Problem solved
Some suggested to use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected]
this worked
Thanks

Did you get three text messages after you sent that out. I went in there and put that as a contact to send to and hit record and stop and sent it. I then received three text messages im immediately after that. Anyone else?

Never got any text messages after that. Just all of my voicemails popping up about 1 minute after I sent it.

[Q] *86 Voice Mail notification on NON-SENSE ROMS

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.

Voicemail that won't go away?

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.

Help Voicemail Icon

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.

Sms issues

I have only had my Sprint GNote4 since Friday morning and i love the phone. But, i started having a odd issue today. All of the sudden my phone will not send or receive sms text messages, it just says message failed to send. I am using the stock messaging app, however i also tried hangouts and got the same result. What is even more strange to me is how i get texting to work again. What seems to work is i attempt to make a phone call, it immediately fails, but then on the second attempt the call goes through. ...then my text messages all go through. I apologize if someone has posted this, but i didn't see anything about it when i searched.
Anyone see this issue too or am i just special?

Do you by chance have an airave and live in an area being upgraded? Had that issue where I live. If so, turn off the airave and see if it changes the issue. Sprint has a newer version they will swap out if this turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps.

If you mean the update in the system aettings, yes i did try that. Thanks for replying though.

No, i do not have an airwave, but i do believe i am in an area with Spark, i have the litttle swirling star icon next to my LTE icon. Thanks getting back to me.

Here is what it looks like. Sorry if i sound noobish, i just switched to Sprint.

Thanks for the tip, i will try it the next time it happens. Im thinking of flashing a custom ROM to see if it is some sort of bloat crap causing it.

Using the phone here in india on a cdma carrier. outgoing sms works fine. Incoming sms dont! Tried to work around a lot. no avail. Ooh and on GSM sms works fine. but on cdma. nothing

I am still having the issue, and I also have found that my phone calls are not coming through all of the time. I am starting to suspect my SIM may be the cause. I am currently using my phone with LTE disabled to see how it goes.

Do you have adblock or another ad blocking app installed? If so remove the app and see if that fixes your issues.

No adblock apps installed. It happens on stock and custom roms too.
