Don't have a 'voicemail' to scroll to!?
I have to call 611 and have what they call 'ghost messages' removed.
A 3rd work around is to call and leave yourself a VM, then call and retrieve it from the phone, this should clear it as well, tho it sounds like you already did.

[Q] Voice Mail icon

So after upgrading to ICS I have a voice mail icon on my notification bar. This is a data only device for me with no access to voice mail does anybody have an way to clear the icon?
Kirby
Ditto! Had it since first upgrading myself. Just figured out you can slide notifications away after pulling em all up, but sadly that one won't budge.
It's not a big problem, but does get rather annoying.
Has anyone tried removing the phone apks?

This does remove the notification but borks the entire system. No cellular reception at all if you remove the phone.apk and .odex.
similar issue here
I got my Mediapad 2 weeks ago and had to get a new TMO SIM to make calls (old SIM refused to connect to network). I have had the new voicemail icon ever since and I have not upgraded or rooted anything. I'm looking forward to getting a clue on this mystery!

The typical way to get rid of this is to call yourself and leave a voicemail then delete that voicemail. I've had this problem on Android devices in general on the last few iterations of the OS. The problem with the Mediapad is that most of us have a data only plan on our tablets.
I had a similar problem when I asked T-Mo to disable voicemail on my prepaid SIM. Ever since, any device I plug the SIM into remains convinced that there's a new voicemail. This has remained the case for 1.5 years now. Perhaps this is an overall problem with their provisioning of accounts that don't have voice/voicemail.

So getting a new SIM could possibly resolve the issue.

I doubt it. For an unrelated reason I had to do a SIM swap on one of my trips to the USA, and the VM icon problem persisted through to the new SIM.
I think it's an issue in the way the accounts are provisioned. And T-Mobile hasn't managed to figure out a solution because I tried with them several times.
Come on guys simple solution.go to settings->apps->look for phone app and clear data/cache if this doesnt work do the same to the dialer app. This only clears that pesky voicemail notifacation.doesnt clear voicemail inbox

For me at least this won't work because I have neither a phone app or a dialer app. Nothing to clear, I personally think this is a provisioning issue that T-Mobile needs to deal with.

That's the only way I know how to remove the voicemail icon. Can your device use the wifi calling feature? Maybe then you can do what the quote says...
FOUND IT!
I have a T-Mobile Springboard running ICS as well. I went to settings->apps->Mobile Data... and hit Clear Data. It should immediately get rid of the stupid VM icon and I still have access to the mobile data.

I'll have to try that when I get home. I meant to bring my tablet with me this morning but was running late. If this works, thanks for the tip!

I don't have any option to clear data so unless I'm missing something this isn't option for me.

Rkwhyte,
It is found in Settings->Applications->All apps->Mobile Data
from there select Clear data and BOOM the voicemail icon goes away. Don't touch mobile network configuration though.

The only problem I see though is if I turn the device completely on then turn it on again the VMail icon appears again. But that's okay. At least I know how to clear it when I'm working on my tablet so that I don't accidentally touch it again (which I've done many times). :laugh:
I have the same issue with my tablet plan :crying:

Voicemail notification won't go away on the s3

My cousin has the international s3 and she told me that her voicemail notification won't go away even after checking everything. I searched the net and found a possible solution and told her to leave herself a message and then delete it. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Does anyone have a solution for this?
settings - app manager - all - phone - clear data.
If u reboot, must do it again!
The voice mail notifications require signals from the network to turn them on and off.
It could be a network issue

I had the same problem with my international Galaxy S3 and the solution you gave to your cousin worked very well for me.
Clear?

Wouldn't this clear the call log, too?

No, it doesn't

Reading of text messages suddenly stopped

Text message were being read out fine: "You have a text message from contact...here is the message....blah blah blah".
Coincidentally with the ND7 OTA, the reading of the body of the text message (in bold above) stopped (the reading of the contact name still works). All the text to speech settings are still set as before as far as I can see.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Have you tried clearing data and cache for related apps?

Yes, I even did a factory reset. No difference. I have since installed a 3rd party app but it's not quite the same, e.g., can't turn it on/off with "hands-free" mode.

Caller ID Constantly Crashes

Whenever I receive a call or text, the Caller ID app freezes. Most recently I received a call, Caller ID froze, and the whole phone ended up freezing. Anyone know of a fix for this? I don't use the Caller ID app, and I can't even disable it. Kinda stuck here.
Anyone?
Mine doesn't work either. Unable to authenticate with servers....

How do I uninstall the Caller ID app?
I may have fixed this...
I went into Settings > Apps > Caller ID > Storage....and cleared data and cache, and then tried calling myself. No "Caller ID has crashed" message came up, and I was actually able to answer or reject the call. Seems like Sprint's bloatware is buggy and frankly, totally useless.

Yeah, Sprint is horrible. Between the horrid coverage, lack of bandwidth and garbage bloatware that doesn't work...
