How to remove voicemail icon? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
So i looked on the forums and post of the zenfone 2 , and i cant find anyone asking this... Or i am a fool because i don know how to do it, or it cant be removed on stock rom (updated to the last one)
This voicemail is from years ago, so i dont remember the password :silly: sry, but i dont want to call "customer care" because they are slow and time consuming
Cheers!

Funnily enough I had a similar problem, no way could I get rid of the notification icon.
I fixed it by rebooting the phone, icon gone ?

Who is this voicemail with?

Ok, I'm with Rogers (Canada) and normally it won't go away until I check all my messages. I saw that you said you forgot the password for it. If you don't want to talk to them over the phone use their livechat option. I normally do that if I'm on the computer doing other stuff as well, just a suggestion.

T-zones full web access workaround

Hay guys I'm new here so please forgive me if this has already been addressed but I could not find anything on this matter . I'm trying to get full web access with t-zones using the settings on the Dash Wiki and can't seem to get it to work . Does this work around still work ? Or am I just doing something wrong ? Thanks in advance for you help .
Use the search feature at the top right of the forum. It will help you find what you are looking for.....
Too many of these threads already floating around, searchig would be more proper.
Still workin just fine for me, as stated above hit search for some step by steps...That question has prolly been asked as much as God is asked "why...?".

I wonder if T-Mobile has started to turn it off...?
I know that T-Zones works for me here in Boulder, CO. If I drive down to Denver, though, it doesn't work anymore. I haven't tested any place else yet (since I haven't been anywhere else lately, lol), but I'm already starting to wonder if it's going away...

Change your phone on the site to a V3 RAZR or the like.. The option should pop up then to use T-zones.

Wm 6.1 Issues!

I'm really hating that I downloaded this garbage onto my phone. The keys are a MESS. I've tried to download the fixes but I still can't sync my dash to my pc to even begin to fix it.
I called T-Mobile and their systems are down or something and won't be back up for 24 hours. UGH! I'm never downloaded "the latest" anything ever.
Sorry. I don't mean any disrespect but I can't believe I was foolish enough to blindly ruin my phone.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?
?
What steps did you follow, what ROM did you use?

OH SHOOOT! I'm a jackass!! I disconnected the dash before I did the second install to fix the keyboard.
Is there a way to get that fixed?
not quite sure
what you mean. After you flash the ROM then it goes through a couple of setup stages and reboots. You should then be presented with a working newly flashed rom at your new homescreen. You can then Activesync and copy over the keyboard fix and install it.

I dont think you understand what I mean. I cannot sync my dash at all. I've reseted both my pc and dash and nothing. I believe the computer is not recognizing the dash and I cannot connect online to even send/receive emails.

Glad you got it synced.

No Service ("Searching...")

Yesterday my HTC Excalibur stopped receiving calls, text messages and would not make calls.
I turned the phone off, took the battery and SIM Card out, put it in 5 minutes later hoping it would work again, it did not.
I did a reset of the phone (accessories, clear storage, 1234), that did not work.
This morning I tried swapping SIM cards with someone else (to see if was the service provider). Both SIM Cards worked in my friends Sony Ericsson but neither worked in my HTC Excalibur.
I have the 3V0 Windows Mobile 6.5 installed.
Is there a way I can fix this?

No, I don't know how.
The phone came with it installed. I bought it new, but the seller installed WM 6.5 before shipping, so it's more like open box.
How long does it take? Should I leave that as a last resort?
Is there anything I can tweak on my phone right now?

EDIT: OP shared more info related via PM, thread re-open.
As I sent you via PM, hard reset or reflash your device. If that doesn't work get a new sim from your carrier since it can be network related.

reflashed to 6.1 but still no luck.
Again I tried another working sim from the same carrier, both sims work in my friends phone, but neither work on my s620.
I'v been in contact with jockyw2001 for his Excalibur Sim Unlock.
I just don't understand why I have to pay someone for this, I just bought the phone less than a month ago and it's been working perfectly.

[Q] Desire z slow at messaging

Hi
I have a problem with a Desire Z. Alot of times when I try to send a message (SMS) it takes forever (5min) before it gets sent. If I hit the home-button while watching/waiting for the message to be sent, it's put in drafts instead of keep trying to send.
It's also slow at recivieving messages. Tested with a couple of other phones and compared.
Does anyone else have a simular issue? The sim-card has been used for years with other phones without troubles.
Try using a different messaging app (i.e. handcent)

Same problem for me. Hoping the new OTA solve this problem.
Tap on "send", put the phone away, look at the phone after an hour, somethimes the sms is still "sending" !
I only get this if I have no or very bad signal, i.e. it will wait till it's got a signal to send it.
I wonder if it's worthwhile for you guys to do a factory reset or re-flash the ROM ?
Only thing I can think of is using the "delete old messages" function after deleting all your messages. other than that, I'd try wiping cache and dalvik cache (assuming you are rooted). Re-flashing the ROM should be a last resort (assuming that you even have a custom ROM installed).

So it's possible it's so slow at sending since it has alot of messages in the inbox? It might be the case, but even so it's lame if that's the reason, it's far more powerfull than just handling some textfiles

Haha I agree with you on that, mine has messages in it from weeks and weeks ago. the only reason i said that is because when I was with sprint, I had a HERO (i know, they arent even close to the same spec-wise) and it acted the same way your G2 is acting now. I fixed it by doing what I recommended. worth a try
A little nomenclature for you...
OTA - Over The Air update. It's an update that HTC or your service provider pushes to your phone when it does a check-in, if it is more current than the version your phone is running. Basically it's a software patch for the system software located in your phone.
Seeing that you don't know what an OTA is yet, I can deduce that a rooted phone definitely isn't your problem. I think you should check your phone for updates (Settings -> About phone -> System updates -> Check for updates) and see if anything pops up after you hit okay.
If you find an OTA and the problem still persists, you may find a new SIM card would be an ideal option. Let me explain myself here:
When Cingular made the switch to AT&T I was still using a Cingular labeled SIM card. It worked fine until AT&T switched to 3G. When I got a 3G phone, I found that I couldn't get 3G no matter what I tried, because for some reason the SIM spec didn't support 3G. So I had to switch my SIM to get 3G. I've found that with each new spec that comes out, often times the best way to go is just to switch the SIM out each time you get a new phone. Might take a few minutes longer getting your contract up, but new SIMs seem to be sent out to our store (which is a AT&T/T-Mobile vendor) every time a new network spec is introduced by the carriers. I'm not entirely convinced that this is just a strange "coincidence".

Hehe thank you, but I do indeed know what rooting is etc., but the phone we're talking about isn't rooted so it's not the problem.
Just because I haven't bumped into the word OTA doesn't mean I don't know how the updatesystem from HTC works
And yes, it's the latest version, just got a update ticking in, dunno if it fixed the problem yet.

The recent update solved the problem (for my Desire z),
it was an HTC bug
Sorry for the late answer, but one day the mobile just decided to empty it's inbox for whatever unknown reason, and well, that solved the problem.
But thanks for all the answers, once again
the htc sense messaging app is horrible. the dates and times are wrong and it is like a pig. openeing, sending, reading are all slow.
install the vanilla android messaging app as shown here then you dont have to install third party

Phone remains unlocked. Unfortunately, it wipes APN data and now I can't go in and edit APN. Anybody have any work arounds? I can't add an APN (no option) in the settings menu (settings - more - mobile networks - access point names) nor in the ##3282# menu with the MSL. It's been a huge pain and I'm currently trying to use this phone in Peru. It can make and receive calls/texts but will not access the internet without being able to add/edit APN's.

Why,LG, why?
Gah this is so frustrating. I had my phone unlocked by sprint and am currently abroad, but had the wonderful combination of ideas to both update to ZVE and reset network settings. I've already been using this international sim for five months and everything was fine and dandy, but now I can't add an APN so I can't connect to the internet (the apn settings are greyed out) - I even spoke to Sprint for 3 hours and they concluded there's nothing they can do. I'm thinking there's one of three things to be done: change the APN by some "hack" like a dialer code or ADB, revert to previous firmware, or connect to the internet somehow without an APN.
Does anyone know how to do either of three things? Please help.
Update: I called LG and Sprint for a combined total of about 5 hours. LG confirmed that indeed with ZVE they disabled manual changing of APNs (due to "security") and they don't even have a special code or anything to fix that. They said I should ask Sprint to maybe push an ota apn for the international carrier but they said they can't do that. The LG guy said that he would add a ticket (they can't even talk to anyone higher up) to tell the dev team to add an option again to change APNs but I don't know how likely that'll be. It's just super frustrating that LG pushed an update to break international data and now says they can't do anything about it. Reminds me of my bootlooped Nexus 5x that they said they couldn't do anything about. Smh lg, smh.

Welcome to my hell. I tried to warn the community in my comment about this exact issue. I spent weeks talking to Sprint and LG's useless "technical support." LG reps kept insisting that LG has nothing to do with software updates which is completely wrong and extremely ignorant of them to think that. Sprint advanced tech support even conferenced LG in on a call once that lasted about 45 minutes and the LG rep kept saying they don't have anything to do with the updates. Finally, we got him to agree that they did make the updates. But, even that was a waste of time. It wasn't until I wrote to LG through their website that I got several responses (mostly the same as before - walking you through how to change APN settings) but, finally in those conversations, I was able to get LG support to admit that they had a problem with ZVE and that they are the ones that broke it. The last response I got was that their developers are aware of the problem and are working to fix it. It probably won't be fixed until the next software update and they won't give me any timeline as to when that will be. It's been a couple of weeks since I last talked to LG. My advice is to do the same and file a bug error on their website. Calling in is a complete waste of time. They need more reports on this so that they know this is a big issue. You can't even go in with your MSL and change APN's. If they were really worried about security, they would at least allow the carriers to give you permission to modify the APN. Seems completely nonsensical to me.
Never update if you have an unlock. I've said this a hundred times... Maybe you can get on eBay and get a remote unlock.

It stores in /cache which you can't get to without root. I didn't see how it would help anybody either.
Sympathy, empathy

Welcome to my hell. I tried to warn the community in my comment about this exact issue. I spent weeks talking to Sprint and LG's useless "technical support." LG reps kept insisting that LG has nothing to do with software updates which is completely wrong and extremely ignorant of them to think that. Sprint advanced tech support even conferenced LG in on a call once that lasted about 45 minutes and the LG rep kept saying they don't have anything to do with the updates. Finally, we got him to agree that they did make the updates. But, even that was a waste of time.

How does one file a bug report? I looked and couldn't find it.
As to the reason I updated my phone, I'm very involved in security and need the newest security patches I can get. Also, I don't know/don't think a remote unlock will help, I think it is actually fully impossible to add an APN at this point... I even had sprint lock and unlock my phone...

Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. A bug report will get you nowhere. I've filed legitimate bug reports with solutions and didn't even get a reply. They did this on purpose and don't care if it effects you. They don't want you to use your device the way you want, they want you to use it the way they want.
I read this in other post
Idk this work
HiddenMenuCall
Google, download and install HiddenMenuCall_1.7.apk
Go to LTE Settings
Go to APN Settings
Set APN there and use "default,dun,fota" as APN Type
Restart phone
