Droid x voicemail problem

I have been having a problem with my voicemail icon not disappearing after I have cleared out all of my messages.
I have checked to see if there is a way to reset the notification, and there wasn't. I looked at the notification area and the clear button did not make it go away. There was no x button or anything at the icon. When I press and hold the icon it calls my voice mail and does not give me a option to delete it.
This is the second time around I have had this problem. I did a full system reset on my droid x and that seemed to fix the problem for a couple of days. But once I received another voicemail the icon will not go away again.
Any idea's on how to fix this or should I just call Verizon and get rid of it?

had the same problem, coming over from BB... Here is what I have found... You can do it (adding the pauses) by editing the number in the contacts list... You MUST change the keyboard layout to multi-tap.....there u will find the pause and wait keys...... The only thing about doing this is that in order to use this feature is that u have to go into contacts and select Voice Mail... You cannot use the Voice Mail Icon on the home screen... It is proprietary... I noticed the two little buttons at the bottom of the screen...(call voice mail) and (Subscibe to Visual Voice Mail)... Guess what.. If you subscribe to Visual Voice Mail you can use the Voice Mail Button on the home screen and not have to enter the paswword everyime.... Con: 2.99 month.... I subscribed to see how it works... Nice little feature.... shows who left the voice mail what time. etc....
Now there is an article over on the Motorola site about how to use the pause and wait features... I found it and wished I had bookmarked it....Do a search on "adding pause to dialing" in the support forums for Droid X... There are a few, but one had detailed instructions with pictures...
Hope this helps.

Droid Razr Voicemail problem

I just purchased a Droid Razr phone. I want to set up my voicemail for the first time but it keeps prompting me for a password which I don't have yet. HELP?

Hi rocket77! Other than this little voicemail snag, I hope you're enjoying your new phone. Did you have Verizon Wireless service already? If you did, the voicemail password would actually be the same for your old and new phone. If you need to reset your voicemail password, here's a really helpful link on how to get back into your messages: http://bit.ly/OQ9fjL

Visual Voicemail problem on 02-UK, anyone else??

I'm having a problem with my iPhone 3GS atm.
Its to do with Visual Voicemail, basicly when some one leaves a message the phone doesn't inform me of it like it used to do a few weeks ago.
If i turn the phone off with the red slider and power back up it detects them instantly and they are there to view as normal.
I have phoned O2 and they have told me to turn VM off then on again with the 1760 and 1750 numbers, that didn't solve it. They have told me to reset my network settings this didn't fix it either. As of now they don't know what else to try as it is working its just the phone isn't retrieving them while its on.
Updated to 3.0.1 the other day could be this but cant see how.
The US network has a problem it seems with this atm.
I can hold down the "1" and check for messages manually but its not ideal.
All i can do now is take it to an Apple or O2 shop to see if the phone is broke somehow but i don't think its this its a network thing i am sure.
I never lose the 3G signal so its not that and roaming is 'off' which is what O2 told me to set it at. (i have tried it with it on as well)
I can make calls etc fine, i can use the net just fine. I have turned wireless mode off and tried it while connected to my wireless network.
Can anyone else test theirs and report back by just ringing their own phone plz???

I seem to have found a solution that works for me:
The problem seems to be occuring only after I delete unheard visual voicemails... I, then, don't seem to be able to receive new voicemails until I turn my iPhone off and back on (or do a hard reset).
However this problem doesn't occur if I listen to my messages before deleting them...
So bottomline: listen to your messages entirely and before you delete them...
Calling my usual voicemail number (not using visual voicemail) to listen to messages that haven't gotten to my visual voicemail seem to reset everything and enables me to receive new visual voicemails...

Visual Voicemail Problems

Back when we were able to download the visual voicemail on our phones, I followed the steps it said, which including restoring my phone. I did that but I had the problem where people would leave me voicemails and it would not show up. The only way I would know if their was voicemails was by holding down 1 and checking it that way. I hadnt resolved the issue. And now last night I had downloaded the new iso4 software and it is all installed correctly I thot, but when I try access my visual voicemail it says "voicemail unavailable - could not authorize access". If I got into my settings and change voicemail password it does the same thing. Why am I getting this message? I am confuzed. Please help.

If your not getting your Visual VM just delete all of your old voicemails, then clear the deleted list and all of your voicemails will pop up in Visual VM again.
I still have no idea how Apple & AT&T dont QA test all of the new software updates and would believe its due to Apples insistence to launch new software on an archais system

Droid X Contacts Problem

This problem has to do with Contacts being displayed consistently between the various APS that use them. These all worked fine and as expected until I shut down the phone. The problem started and remains after turning the phone back on. All my contacts were synced from my BlackBerry Tour by a Verizon Wireless technician at the time of the Driod X purchase.
Examples of the problems I having are:
Only a few contacts (mostly the defaults contacts I believe) are displayed when I launch the Contacts app. All Contacts was selected by default, and changing the selection to Favorites or Phone Contacts both came up empty. But when I press the Phone icon to make a call, and touch to display contacts, all my contacts are displayed correctly as Phone Contacts.
The same problem exists attempting to select a Contact to Text. It show my previous contacts that I text with. When I try to bring up my Contacts to text someone else the same few Contacts are displayed and not my Phone Contacts.
Does anyone else have this same problem?

Yes, I do think that we are all in the same boat here! I think Google has to rethink how it handles contacts, and fix this frustrating problem. Contacts on phone should be based on the phone, and not Gmail or anything else. I've never had a problem with contacts on any other phone before in my life!
There was someone who posted they do not have the same problem. My problem started after I powered down the phone I believe. All contact was proper and available when I took the phone out of the store.
I also would like it if we could post the Droid model number and OS version so we can be sure we are all talking about the device setup.
I have:
Driod X
System Version 1.13.516.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Firmware 2.1-update1
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number VZW
I am not sure what other information is pertinent.
Thank you for all the input!!!

Droid X Text Problem

When i turn off my droid X and then turn it back on the last text from almost every text conversation on my phone is RE sent out. has anyone else had this happen is there any fixes? i am planing on bringing it down to the store and making them fix it but i dont have a lot of time so if anyone knows a quick fix let me know. Please let me know what you guys think because it is **bleep** me off.

Don't know if this is what you are experiencing as I've never encountered this problem, but I was about to post this when I saw yours.
http://m.androidcentral.com/sms-bug-what-it-and-what-you-need-do
Check that out, basically it says you may need to use a third party app from the market. Just make sure to go into your default app settings and disable notifications. Hope it helps, seems like a real PITA.

Droid Razr M Problems

I have had my droid razr m since february of this year and have had no problems. Today however, i turned on my phone and it started to update some apps due to me still being connected to the wifi at my house. I tried to stop the updates to help save data on my phone. I was unable to stop the update of the Gmail app on my phone. I then proceeded to open the app and saw that the autosync was turned off. I went to turn it on and my phone goes crazy. It started to restart itself repeatedly. Now it will not allow me to get off the lock screen and it keep trying to gain verizon wireless service but then it stays on lock screen and states no service and then tries again to regain service but it acts like it is unable to do it. Anyone know if the Gmail app update is causing this or is it something else?

According to several reviews posted on the Gmail app site, this has happened to others. Users have reported doing hard resets to correct the problem. One user said they turned off the phone's sync setting, then uninstalled the update.

6233 voicemail problem

Hi. I cant find this problem mentioned on here so ill run it by you:
1. I have the 'reel to reel' voicemail alert symbol permanantly showing on my screen, regardless of whether i have voice messages in my voicebox or not.
2. I get no screen alert (as in text on screen: 'voice message received') when a voice message is left for me.
I have spoken to various call handlers at Orange and they have all been utterly useless. The girl today said i was missing some system files but that she couldnt send me an update as Nokia had not released them to Orange yet. She said I needed to download some software off this site but couldnt tell me where to find it or what its name was.
Any help much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Droid 3 Connection Problems?

Droid 3 was working fine yesterday. This morning I go to check my Facebook (through Facebook's app), and get time outs due to "Network Connection Issues". The browser will connect to Google, but cannot connect to any other website because "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to communicate. Try again later." It will connect to the app store, but cannot download any updates for current apps (I was trying to see if perhaps the anti-virus software needed to be updated, even though it's set to automatically update). I can send/receive e-mails (but cannot see pictures included in the e-mails), can send/receive texts, and make phone calls just fine. I show 4 full bars of service and 3G. Any help on fixing this issue would be most apprecaited.
Specs:
System version - 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US
Android version - 2.3.4
Signal strength - -63 dBm 0 asu
Network - Verizon Wireless

I am having the same issue on my Droid3 and so is my wife with her Droid3.
System Version: 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.us
Android: 2.3.4
Signal: -73dBm 0 asu
CDMA - EvDo rev. A
I have tried rebooting and *228, but nothing is working. Can receive text messages, but no media and no browser/facebook/etc.

Droid 2 voicemail

Call VZW TS and they will be able to change it for you.

Droid 3 Keyboard Problems - Permanent Solution?

I'm going to post this again and mark it as a question in the hope that someone from Verizon will respond.
As has been widely reported by many thousands of users, the Droid 3 keyboard software is completely unreliable and repeatedly stops rendering keystrokes as letters on Android OS screens, whether it's during texting or simply entering contact names in fields. I battle this problem almost every day.
But let me save the support personnel some time and quote the advice that you're likely to give:
"Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > "All" tab. Then, scroll down to Multi touch keyboard and push "Force Stop" and "Clear Cache." Once these steps are completed, re-test and post back with your results. Thanks!"
Verizon staff and people on other sites seem to enjoy repeating this same bit of advice, but this is not a viable solution. Often, once the phone has reached the state in which the keyboard stops working, the "Clear Cache" option becomes unresponsive. So the cache can never clear. Often the phone becomes so sluggish at this point that the only option is to take out the battery and do a hard reboot. Otherwise, even if the cache is cleared, this is only a temporary fix. The keyboard inevitably freezes up again in the future.
I've had this problem since a few months after I purchased the Droid 3 in late 2011. It has probably happened several hundred times, and that is not an exaggeration.
If there isn't a permanent fix for this problem, which seems to plague other Android phones as well, then I don't think I can ever trust buying a product from Verizon or an Android product again.

A hard reset is not a solution. Wiping everything from the phone and losing all data and apps doesn't resolve the problem with the OS. This has been widely reported as a problem with the Android software for the Verizon keyboard. It's not being caused by an app, so doing a hard reset and a one-by-one reinstall of applications will not isolate or address the problem. You can do a hard reset and have only the native applications, and the keyboard software will still malfunction. It affects the most basic built-in functionality of the OS like texting, contacts, etc.
No, I do not have an extended warranty for the phone, but other users have done warranty replacements and have encountered the same problem again. There have been some users that have replaced their phones twice with no solution.
The problem is with the OS and its keyboard software, and it's apparently not with the hardware. That's why I'm shocked that Google has not provided a solution and that Verizon hasn't insisted on one for its customers.

Droid X2 Dialing Problems?

When my DX2 has been at rest, or when I reboot my phone, I can maybe make one phone call. After that when I try to either dial a number or select from my contacts it takes on average 30 seconds to a minute to dial the number (in that span of time I have probably hit the dial button seven to ten times because I am frustrated . . . much like the Power Point scenario when you slides are not advancing and when the computer finally catches up you get the 20+ slides advancing ; - ) ). My question is this . . . what is causing this and what can I do to get this revolutionary funtion called (wait for it) making a call, back? I thought it might have something to do with the number of apps a person has, or what they have running on their phone, e.g. Skpe, Weather Apps that run all the time, etc. I consider this a high priority problem and would think there is solution. As an aside, this is the very reason why I complained to Verizon when I had my HTC Droid Eris. It too, was having the exact same issue with not dialig the call immediately. So, I do not believe it is a Motorola problem. So, the question still stands, what can I do to be able to make phone calls?

Hi there loleee71. I am sure that can be quite frustrating to have this issue. Did this problem just start? A hard reset may fix this issue. First, back up your contacts either using the Backup Assistant or by using Google contacts. Usually they backup automatically to Google if sync is checked. You can check if the contacts are backed up by logging on www.google.com/contacts . Pictures are saved on SD card. After ensuring your items are backed up, perform the hard reset. Here is how: http://bit.ly/oV4Meh .
Let us know if the issue persists after the reset.
Thank you,
