My HTC Incredible is display a voice mail but when I access it, it stated no message available. So how do I remove this from my notification? I cannot seem to get rid of it, it is getting anoying. TIA.
I had the same thing when I first install gvoice on my android.
That is actually a new voice mail on your Verizon voice mail service.
I think I cleared it by pulling down the notification bar and using the "clear" button in the upper right hand corner.
If you feel you need to listen to it, you may have to go to your settings menu, then call menu to re-enable your VZ voice mail... I've never done this and I believe it could take hours before it actually takes affect.. And then you will need to return your voice mail to GV when you're done.
I believe it will take hours because when I installed GV my GV VM took about a day to be default.
I don't see the clear option when I drag it. I will try to change my PocoMail to VZW and back to see if this Wii work. Thx.
I finally figure it out, as Luvit stated, the notification is for VZW voice but since I choose gvoice as default, it always call gvoice. No wonder I have no message. I have to call my VZW vm and delete it everything is fine now. Thx.
recently, my google voice app has been showing missed calls when i open the app. i don't need to see it in google voice since it shows in my call log. all i want google voice to show is my voicemails. can i turn off what labels get synced, or just turn off the option. i can't find it in settings. it wasn't doing this before so i'm not sure if a recent update started this.
does anyone know how to do this?
I think u can change it in GVoice settings thru web browser, I've actually changed it before to show those missed calls.

??? its sunder settings/calls
Missed Calls
Place missed calls in the inbox
Send missed calls to my email
the thing is i already checked the browser setting and to place missed calls in the inbox is not selected, yet it's still doing it.
My Samsung skyrocket is doing this same thing and its driving me NUTS! Any solutions yet?
Ive got this problem too and tried to fix via the web interface -- didn't work. The best work around is to go to labels and select inbox and the messages go away. Quite annoying for sure.
i tried to disable the messages label, but i can't find how to do that. i don't want to be selecting the label everytime. that's even more annoying.
anyone know how to fix this
Hi all, just a strange issue I am having I hope you can help me. I noticed when dialing by name when new, this phone kept wanting to bring up the home number when I want to dial the mobile by default. So, I headed into the contacts and discovered I could set the "default" number by either long pressing the desired number and selecting "set default" which then puts a blue check mark next to it, or I could be in the contact, press menu, then "mark as default" which opens a window where I can select the default email, phone number, etc which also will put a blue check next to the number.
Now then, all my contacts are stored on Google, nothing on the phone or SIM itself. For some reason, the default number for one of the most frequently called people in my address book will not "stick". I mark it as default, I can dial by name and it shows up correctly, but then the next time I go to do it (sometimes even 5 minutes later), it will be back to having no default number set and gives me the home number instead of mobile.
Oddly enough, the three other numbers I marked with a default number never do this to me and work every time, only the one contact entry doesn't work. I can't think of any other reasons why this is happening. My ONLY thought was that for some reason when syncing, Google keeps over-riding the marked default number. But why would it do it for JUST this one contact and not the other 3?!
Any ideas? Looking forward to thoughts. Kind of an embarrassing problem since it's so simple, but I can't figure it out...
www.google.com/contacts
Do you have more specific of a suggestion than simply giving me the site which I have already been to a couple times? The Google contacts interface doesn't seem to support "default numbers" and there is no way I could find to set a default number via the web interface. I believe the default number is an "on phone" setting. Thus, I am confused why it works on some contacts and not all.
Update: I noticed this same contact also won't upload changes to phone numbers, addresses, etc made on the phone for some reason, so this could be more of a Google sync problem. Again, it's only this one contact.
If I make changes to other contacts, they are reflected on Google's servers correctly. If I make a change to the phone number of this specific contact, after a few minutes, it goes back to what it previously was. It seems it's always pulling down from Google's servers and replacing the changes I made on my phone. It's like somehow only this contact was set to only pull down information, not upload it also. I also could not find any settings for changing the location of the "master" when there are changes or conflicts or anything like that on Google's website.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Bump to the top, still have this issue.
Not much help here, as I'd love to know how to do this at a higher 'Google' level than just on my phone too. Are you syncing contacts with any other applications? For example, Facebook?
No, it's a stock Galaxy S4. Although you bring up another question I have had. When I have my contacts on Facebook synced "only with existing contacts", friends on Facebook still show up when I try to dial by name even though they do NOT show up in my address book. What's up with that? Is that the fault of Facebook? I seem to remember my HTC phone doing this as well, so I disabled syncing with Facebook contacts completely.
Today I tried removing the Google account, clearing the data and cache for contacts and contact storage, then adding the Google account again and letting contacts sync. I then set default numbers for 5 phone numbers. 10 minutes later, all but the one contact I have had problems with still had the default number set. The one contact cleared the default number - again. I just don't get it...

I have the same issue and it ticks me off every time, and it happens with any contact that has multiple numbers. There doesn't seem to be any way to choose the alternate numbers when you do search by name from the dialpad. you have to do it from the favorites or the contacts tab instead.
Does yours clear the default from EVERY contact that has multiple numbers? Mine only clears the set default number from ONE SPECIFIC contact, and I can't figure out what the difference between that contact and any other contact is. Or, if you are saying you can't figure out how to set the default numbers at all, I gave instructions on how to do it two different ways in the post you quoted.
As for selecting an alternate number from the dial pad, I figured that out too. So, let's say you want to call Mike. Dial 6453 (MIKE) and you should see the name pop up. To the right of the name is a down arrow with a number above it. The number is telling you how many contacts what you have dialed matches. Tap the down arrow and you will see a list of people and their numbers under them (or just the one person if that's all that matches). If you tap again on the name, you will in fact be given a choice on which number to dial (assuming the contact has more than one number saved for them).
So basically, it's a long annoying process that shouldn't have to happen, but it is possible to do it. You have to start dialing by name, then make a screen selection, then another selection, then another, then finally the dial pad is pre-filled with the number, but then you have to remember to hit the actual call button at the end of all that crap. I find it's easier to find a text from the person and swipe the screen to dial them that way sometimes (or from within the text tap the call icon), or from the call history tap the call icon. Or of course as you said, favorites or contacts.
My HTC used to just let you dial by name, tap the number you wanted, then it would start calling. Easy peasy.
Bump to the top again... Still trying to figure this out. So annoying.
Bump. I dial this number every day...
Some stupid questions: 1. Do you have more than one contact details of the same person? 2. Did you delete and re-add the contact. Also delete from all other syncs?

The contact is only listed as a Google contact, and has no other links or connections from other sources. Facebook is not synced, nor is anything else. It's only Google contacts. I haven't tried deleting and re adding yet. I guess that's a simple thing to try, its just that there is a lot of info in there, haha.
Ok, via web browser on the PC I exported the contact, deleted it, and synced my phone. Contact was gone. I then added a contact via web browser, typed in all the same info, synced the phone, and the contact is back. I then selected the mobile number, marked it as default, synced the contacts again, and there was no longer a default check mark next to the mobile number.
I have at least 3 other contacts where I don't have this problem at all. They are all stored on Google, they are all friends on Facebook (even though they aren't linked to FB in the contacts because of the above listed problem where everyone on FB shows up when dialing by name), they are all in circles on Google Plus. I can't figure this out at all. What the heck...
HI.
I have just 2 day with this phone and im really messed up with this. Happens that whenever a call is coming in, doesnt show "contact name" thats saved on my google acount, it just show the numeric number.
I tried messed with some advice that i read on google, but nothing has worked.
Do you have any advice?
