Hey guys, kinda new to the U1 FW side of things. When I got the phone, U1 was the first thing I did. Upon setup, I did the whole voicemail setup etc using the Phone/dialer. A week or so later, I downloaded the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail as I like being able to have faster access/options to voicemail. However, now I get a notification from both the "Phone" app and VVM app.... how do I change the setting on the "Phone" app to stop?
Thanks
You can remove from the Notifications of the Phone app only the option for Voicemail.
Or (don't know if it works, but it's worth a try) force stop the Phone app and clear cache and data.
Sadly it's greyed out
How about clearing the data and cache of the Phone app? Maybe together with a restart?

I can try, but I think it's on the "server side"... either through T-Mobile or Samsung
Phone - Settings (three dots) - Voicemail - Notification : Silent. Maybe also disable App icon badges & Lock screen: Don't show notifications.
I don't know if Minimize notifications is of any help.

Voicemail problem is fixed, so please if you could, just skip to where it says "EDIT"
Ok so whenever I get a voicemail, it appears in the notifications bar, but when I click it, it dials the number to get voicemail service and then tells me my inbox is empty. This entire system is pretty damn stupid. Wouldn't it be easier, the way you'd normally do it on the phone, you just go to the voicemail app, and then proceed to listen to whatever voicemail you want to listen to? And for the past like 2 weeks, I've only had the same amount of voicemails (9) and it keeps bringing up the damn notification every few minutes. Can't change the settings on it to make it stop, and at the same time, I can't listen to the fcking messages it's telling me that I have received. Please can someone help me?
EDIT: I should also add that all day today, ADW Luncher and something called "ascore" keep force closing. Pretty annoying and I really can't do anyhting at all because when one isn't force closing, the other is. Wtf. And I've tried rebooting 3 times.
You can get the original Sprint Visual Voicemail app from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774172
Although I don't know why even when it dials your voicemail inbox, you don't hear your voicemails... that's very odd.
Also, if ADW Launcher is giving you problems you could try LauncherPro instead, which is quite similar and perfectly stable in my experience.

Well thank you for the voicemail link, but I can't try that out until I fix the ADW Launcher problem. And when I said I can't do anything, I meant I literally cant do anything. Like, my screen is practically frozen. I was going to try downloading a new home launcher, but I can't do anyyythingg. Ahhh this is so frustrating..
I am having issues with voicemail too in cm6. Sprint app didn't work for me. Adw may be fixed by dalvik wipe and apk uid mismatch fix in recovery always fixed my fc issues.

Will I have to re-install all my apps again?
You will not have to reinstall with just a dalvik wipe. The 9016 message I found out is a provisioning error on sprints end. I had to call in to get it corrected.

You all are talking about different things here!
Sprint uses a SMS voicemail system. The stock HTC rom would receive the SMS message in the background and filter it from the messaging apps, download the voicemail message into visual voicemail and then notify you when the voicemail was in your inbox.
If you change to ANY asop ROM (not just CM6) your phone will not filter the SMS from Sprint which comes from number 9016. If you have installed Sprint VVM the best way to deal with this is to use Handecent and blacklist 9016 then you won't be bothered by it.
If you are not receiving your voicemail you are not properly provisioned and all you need to do is dial *38.
The worst problem is if you are cursed with the voicemail notification "New Voicemail Message Dial..." There is no fix for this. Sense based ROMs filter this, asop ROMS don't and there is no clear way to get rid of it.
Ok well I tried the dalvik wipe...4 times...none of them worked, at all. And I figured out that even other home launchers are force closing on my phone. I tried to use BetterHome and it started force closing repeatedly too. Please, someone has to know what to do, I'm really f*cking sick of not being able to use my phone. Nothing but problems with this PoS phone, ever since I got it...
Edit: Well, I decided to just wipe my phone and install CM6 AGAIN....hopefully it doesn't act up this time. I don't even know why it happened, I've had it for like a month now and it was working perfectly..
I'm using the latest cm-10.1-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin and it was freshly installed on a brand new touchpad (i had one sitting in a box for ages(
However, with everything working on it, i find that the notifications don't seem to work.
for eg, i don't get notifications when i get a new fb message or a google hangouts message.
i have to open the app and manually refresh it for it to get the new data.
any ideas on what i can do?

I would go into Settings and take a look at the Accounts. Verify sync is on for the accounts in question.
Could also go into the Apps area as well. I believe there is a show notifications box that you can check
for the two apps.

show notifications is ticked on for both apps already.
it seems that when it's in the lock screen nothing comes through, but when i unlock it, i get a mass of notifications all at once.
almost seems like it's blocking data when the screen is locked but i can't find any power profiles etc to fix this...
any ideas?

Alot of devices and ROMS will have Wifi turn off while sleeping to avoid battery drain.
Go into Advanced settings for Wi-fi and adjust the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting.
Like the subject says. I have the voicemail notification on the top left hand side and when I use the drop down menu its there, but I can't seem to get rid of it.
How can I get rid of it?
Thanks

Hate to ask a silly question, but:
Have you checked your voicemail yet?
Also, in some VM systems I've used, if you listen long enough or go into an advanced menu, there's sometimes an option to clear the VM indicator on the phone.
Yes sir... That's why I am up in the air. I've even tried to look for the voicemail service to see if I can clear the cache and get it to get away but can't find it.

Try calling yourself and leaving a message. Then go to your voice mail and delete it. It should clear your icon.
I've seen this happen with T-Mobile and a new SIM several times.

My experience with this was I was using something else for voicemail. I use Better Youmail (Youmail) but as I was setting up the phone I got a voice message on the Verizon side before I forwarded over to Youmail to handle vm... I had no messages on Youmail but it was on Verizon side why I had the icon. I had to unforward the Youmail service to get to the Verizon side, delete the message and the icon went away. Then I set the forward back to Youmail.

I had this a few times on tmobile in the past not on this phone?. I use google voice. I rectified the problem by calling tech support, they corrected on their side.
just had the same issue
Clearing the data + cache for everything with the dialer icon fixed it
so on kitkat i had the voicemail icon stuck. i use google voice, and i think this is just a standard verizon voicemail icon. i've checked and there are no new voicemails.
i figured when i upgraded to lollipop it would go away. well guess what, it didn't. so i did a factory reset, and now it's back.
i found that by deleting the data and wiping the cache on one of the 4 phone apps, i'm able to get rid of it, but then when i reset the device it comes back.
any help please!!!!

What happens if you go to settings-apps-voicemale untick show notification?
Have you maybe disabled the default messaging app?
The verizon system voicemail notifications come through to your phone as an encoded txt message, so if the messaging app isn't correctly parsing those to the system, it may not clear the voicemail icon.

i have disabled the both the verizon and motorola native messaging apps. i use hangouts. any suggestion on how to correct the messaging apps?
To test that theory, enable the Verizon messaging app again, then have someone leave you a voicemail. Call your voicemail and delete it. It should clear the voicemail notification. Then you can probably disable it again and see if it still happens the next time someone leaves a voicemail for you.

Oh, and check that it really is the Verizon voicemail indicator. In your notifications, hold your finger down on the notification, then touch the "i" that comes up.

i followed those steps though i'm doubtful it will work. i was already able to check myvzw voicemail by just hitting *86 and there were no messages. when i followed these steps there were also no messages. i'm restarting now.
and it's back up and running with "2 new voicemail".
ugh.....
Did you try leaving yourself a voicemail and clearing it that way? Someone else mentioned it in the thread but didn't see you respond to doing it.

That's the point, there are no voicemails.just notifications.
I'm still looking into a way to fix it man and as soon as I can find something substantial, I'll let you know. I can only imagine how annoying having those persistent notifications would be
I just need any help. I'm trying to figure out why with apps like Snapchat and Facebook. I'm not getting their designated notification sounds. I go into the app settings and it says the notifications are on but then I go to my phone settings and for those particular apps it's set on my phone's default notification which is really annoying. It doesn't even have a app provided toggle that I could even turn on. Any help would be appreciated.
I had an issue with Instagram's notifications. Even though looking through the apps notifications they were all on, I was not getting any at all. It turned out that I did the Google transfer of apps for my old phone to my new phone, and that was why. What I did was clear all cache and data, and then start over by signing in and allowing notifications when the pop-up showed. I didn't get the pop-up the first time I open the app after the transfer, so I'm 99.9% sure that's why. Try clearing cache and data, and then start over by signing in like you just downloaded the app.

Thank you so much! I kind of figured that out as well because I uninstalled it then reinstalled it and everything was fine after that.
