New Voicemail notification stuck in status bar

Anyone know how to remove the voicemail notification in status bar? Its been stuck in my status bar since day one. Everytime I boot my phone it notifies me that i have a voicemail twice and its very annoying. I deleted all my voicemails and its still there. Im also trying to avoid a phone reset.

Try calling from another phone and leaving a new voicemail, then call voicemail and delete. I've had to do that a couple times.

I had that problem with my d1. It was caused by having google voice take over my phones voicemail. If a voicemail got past google voice my phones default voicemail service would pick it up but I couldn't access it without disabling google voice services. For me it wasn't worth the hassle of checking the vm.

Voicemail notification won't go away?

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

First time google voice user

Guys i am trying to get google voice to work on my verizon droid turbo but confused at a few things. I want to be able to have my voice mail go to google voice and not the verizon voicemail, but it wont let me. any ideas
Why is the access number and the call forwarding number different? another thing is after all said and done I called my voicemail with another phone to my phone that is set up on and it goes to the verizon voicemail instead with forwarding on.

With Verizon, you have to manually set the call forwarding to your Google Voice. There are 3 different instances when you want to have your calls forwarded.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/fix-google-voice-forwarding-advanced-t2980980
When setting up Google Voice app on the phone, it will probably tell you that the app couldn't set up voicemail properly. That is ok, because you are doing it manually.
However, with the latest Hangouts/SMS changes, I'm not even sure you need the google voice app, if you set your google voice messages to use Hangouts.

Nexus 6 (unlocked) Google Voice not working (sim card is verizon)

I recently purchased a Nexus 6 (unlocked) off of the play store. My carrier is Verizon so I took my existing Verizon nano sim card and popped it in and now I am up and running. I want to use Google Voice for my voicemail instead of having to call and check it through verizon. I have an actual google voice number, but I don't want to use that I just want any calls to my mobile number to use the google voice greeting/inbox.
On my previous phone I used the Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail. Normally when I install Google Voice and go through the configuration setting it as the primary voicemail option in the settings it automatically switches over and when someone calls they hear the greeting "The google subscriber you have reached.....". In my case with the Nexus 6 people still hear my Verizon greeting no matter what I do and I keep getting a notification to download the Verizon Visual Voicemail App from the play store to check it. I refuse to do this, the point of me getting this Nexus 6 was to do away with any Verizon garbage.
Has anyone else gone through this? On my past 4 phones I have simply been able to download Google voice, install, configure, and it overrides the Verizon voicemail. The only thing I can think of that is different this time is that I am subscribed to the verizon basic visual voicemail from my previous phone because I wanted to give it a try.

My first suggestion would be to be sure you are unsubscribed from the Verizon VM on your account. Then, open your dialer, click the 3 dot settings button, click settings, then select calls. Click voicemail, then service. See if you have any options there. I'm on Sprint and Google voice integrates through my carrier so that is the only option I see in that location. (Your carrier).
Then you can click set up, there you could manually set your Google voice number as your voicemail number.

After further research I am pretty sure I have to put my sim chip back into my LG G3 and cancel my verizon VM subscription. Then put the sim back in my Nexus 6 and go through the Google Voice setup process again. I just didn't think Verizon would have control over it somehow after subscribing to their visual voice service.

Also, open Google voice from a desktop PC or desktop view and ensure you've completed all the steps to integrate.

There really aren't any steps.. I logged in and it shows my Google Voice # and then my Mobile Verizon #. I definitely don't want to go through with the Google Voice activation process to my phone because then it forwards all calls to my Google Voice #. I just want to use Google Voice for my voice mail which should have nothing to do with my GV # and the only thing I should have to do in the settings is update my greeting. The reason I know nothing should have to be touched is because on my past 4 phones when I wasn't a subscriber to Verizon Visual Voicemail, Google Voice would install and configure with no problem. Of course that message would come up saying Google Voice is not compatible with my carrier (Verizon) but it would just start working anyway.

Well, I'm glad you figured it out for yourself. Good luck! :good:

Here is a paste from another thread. With voice over LTE a lot of things don't work right and you have to forward voicemail to Google Voice to make it work.
—-----------—
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer*calls to your Google Voice number when your Verizon phone is*busy or unanswered after 3 to 6 rings.*90[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.*92[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on No Answer Transfer, which*transfers all calls unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]

Yes, this. Google Voice voicemail never worked for me on Verizon unless I did these steps, even before VoLTE came along.

Google voice voicemail problem

I think this problem correlates with 6.0 but I've not had a problem with Google voice voicemail getting my incoming calls since the droid 2 on Verizon. Even though it always it can't be set up automatically, it always worked, until recently. The Google support page for Google voice voicemail is a waste....ideas?

Take a look in Phone App, Settings, Calls, Voicemail, Service. Make sure GV is selected as your Voicemail service.

Ok, I've been in phone sales for over a decade and I've been rooting and modding phones for almost as long.....I'm looking at systemic problems here....I know how this should work.....I'm asking of anyone else has this problem and if so how they fixed it if at all.
