Voicemail notification with no new voicemail

[chriscw81]

I have a voicemail notification that I can't seem to clear. I use google voicemail so I'm clueless on how it happened. If I call my voicemail it says I have no new messages. The Google voice app also says I don't have any new messages. I'm running the latest aokp and use nova launcher. Does anyone know how to clear this thing?

Try changing your voice mail to Verizon call it make sure there are no old messages on there and then change it back to Google voice

i switched it to my carrier then called the voicemail, it told me i had no messages. then i rebooted. i then tried switching it back to google voice and it has been sitting like this for about 5 minutes. is it time for me to panic? lol

Not yet try pulling the battery and see what happens

it sat like that for literally 9 minutes and i rebooted. no change. if it matters, it's making a notification sound while booting up, that's also not normal. it's like it's notifying me of a voicemail i dont have when i reboot. this is driving my nuts.

I've had this on several phones the voicemail that never goes away I always had to wipe the phone for itto go away iI never call my VM I always just read them

 

[yodatom10]

Time to wipe. :-( u could take this chance to get on JB

 

[chriscw81]

did another battery pull with no joy. i looked and it is still set to "google voice". anyone think un/reinstalling google voice would matter?

 

[chriscw81]

yeah, you're probably right. i was just trying to avoid wiping. then again, all the time i've spent, i could have went to JB by now lol

The message is in the VZW mailbox. Dial *73 and hit send. This will disable the call forwarding for Google voice. Now dial *86. Enter your PIN and I bet the message is there. Delete it. Now dial *71 and your Google voice number. Hit send and you are back to Google voice. The voice mail setting in the settings menu doesn't do anything. You have to disable the call forwarding on VZWs network to get to the normal voice mail.

Sometimes a call slips by the forwarding. It happens on occasion.

Glad I could help.

It was a big source of frustration for me too. Oh. One other helpful tidbit .. I have found that if the message is stuck in VZW's mailbox, you can wipe your phone and flash new ROM's till your blue in the face, heck you can even change devices, but when your phone reactivates, VZW is going to tell you that you have a message ... Carrier VM is linked to the phone number, not the device.

That being said ... Go flash JB ... You're going to love it!

Yep, I flashed tr4nscend last night but went back so I wouldn't have to set everything up late at night.......and about 6 beers in I'm definitely gonna flash it again tonight after work. Out of vanirbean and tr4nscend which do you think is better?
