HT201401 The red dot on my voicemail icon never goes away. I have no messages, but it will never go away. Any ideas?

Hi there, just got my new iPhone 4s & the red dot is always on my voicemail icon on the bottom of my homepage. So I check & I have no messages, yet it never goes away. Any ideas, or is it just a glitch in my new phone?

I just had this problem and this is how I resolved it (with the help of an Apple  tech)
Go into setings and see if you have Celular Data turned on.
Settings / General / Cellular - Then turn Cellular Data  to ON

  • How do i get rid of the red dot on my voicemail which is deactivated

    how can i get rid of the red dot on the voice mail icon its driving me crazy
    please help

    Check to see if you have any old VM and listen/delete them.
    Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I have wifi in my home and it has always worked fine. Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there.  Since I have been home, it won't work in the house. I took it to another location where I have logged in before and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas?

    I have wi-fi in my home and it has always worked fine with my iPad.  Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there.  Since I have been home, it won't work in my house.  I can't get my wi-fi connecton.  I took it to anothe location where I have logged in in the past, and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas as to why I can't get a connection at home?
    Thank you.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    How do I get rid of the red dot on my iPhone, phone icon ?

    If you did that already and looked at your recent calls and the red dot doesn't disappear then try rebooting the phone. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.

    Hi,
    This red dot is just to show you which fieldpoint controller is selected. You can change between controllers, and the red dot will move.

  • Red dot appearing on phone icon.

    Hi all,
    Noticed the a red dot appears on the phone icon, When I select the phone icon the redtthen appears on the voicemail icon. I've cleared all voicemail, messages and call history but it still appears..
    Any ideas on what this is ?

    The dot means that the phone thinks you have voicemail. It thinks so because your provider is telling the phone you have voicemail (and it's waiting for your provider to update your phone to say there is no more voicemail before the dot is removed). Sometimes the voicemail indicator can show up incorrectly, especially if you are traveling.
    So you can wait for it to go away by itself (will usually happen the next time you get a voicemail and listen to it) or you can call your provider and they will clear it for you.

  • I retned a movie from Itunes using my I phone; however, I can't see the movie listed under videos, nor does it appear in my I tunes library on my laptop.  on my itunes store app, there is a "1" inside the red dot that is blinking.

    I rented a movie from Itunes on my Iphone; however, i can't find where to watch or view it.  The movie does not show up in my videos or movies yet ther is a blinking "1" in the red dot on my Itunes app on the bottom right of the screen over the "more" tab? any ideas on how to get to the movie?

    ah, ok yes i did do that last night. I just did it again and relized that ther is a "Downloads" tab. I selected it and stated that there was a download error. I'm currently retrying it now. and it is now showing in my videos.
    thanks for helping me focus a little more to get where I need to be.

  • What do I do when I have a red dot on my voicemails and it won't go away and no one can leave me voicemails

    There is a red dot in my voicemails and when I click on voicemails it calls it and says to type in my 10digit phone number and when I do it says it's not set up and I don't know how to do that. But then my friend called me and it stopped ringing on my phone and said I had a missed call from her but it kept ringing on hers. I don't know what to do!

    Contact your carrier. Voice Mail is a carrier function, and setup and management differs from carrier to carrier.

  • HT3302 my ipod got wet by the sprinklier but i check for the red dot and its not there. Yet i am still having problems with it sense. Does anybody know what is wrong?

    My ipod got a little wet but it wasnt that bad. none of the inside was wet really and the red dot hasnt appeared.........i was wondering if there is something else wrong with it because it keeps pausing when i dont do anything to it

    As a precaution I would dry the iPod by:
    How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
    After it is dry I would try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    For a nano the drying still applies
    You have to find out how to reset the Nano
    Yu can then try restoring via iTunes

  • What does the red dot in the headphone jack have to do with my phone not holding a charge, my phone has never been wet.

    My phone has never gotten wet. My phone doesnt hold a charge for more than about 3 hrs., so I brought it in to Verizon about the battery. The lady looks into the headphone jack and says it has a red dot its not under warranty any more. What does the headphone jack have to do with my battery.

    The "red dot" is a moisture sensor. If it is red, then your phone did get wet, or was exposed to excessive moisture, which voids the warranty.  Liquid/moisture inside the phone can compromise or short out the electronics, causing excessive battery drain.

  • Voicemail icon wont go away

    Hi, guys.  This is my first post, although I have been lurking a while.  You guys are full of solutions!  Hopefully, you can solve mine   my BB 8350i has a voicemail icon on it.  I have no voicemails at all, and I want it gone.  I am weird about stuff, and I will continue to check the VM until the icon is gone, although I know there is no VM there.  Anyone have any solutions??  Thanks in advance!

    If you have an errant voicemail waiting icon on your homescreen:
    Call your voicemail and clear the message.
    Call your BB from another line and leave a message. From you BB, call your voicemail and clear and delete your messages.
    If the above fails, pull your battery to reset and reboot your BlackBerry.

    On the home screen the Messaging icon says I have unviewed messages but when I go into Messaging, there are no unviewed messages.  Any ideas?

    I am using my Droid RAZR M phone, and the messaging app that comes installed on it. Under app info it says version 4.4.2-15. I haven't downloaded any other messaging apps.
    I have also deleted ALL of my text messages from anyone & rechecked my voicemail. I still have "1 unread msg" and it is driving me crazy! LOL
    Thanks for your time!

  • My phone went blank.  It still had 41% battery life.  I have tried to reset by holding down the sleep button and botton on top until the Apple Icon appears but then after that, nothing.  Any ideas?

    I had just checked my phone and it had 41% battery life left. A few minutes later, it simply went blank and won't do anything. I tried reseting it by pushing down on the wake/sleep button and the button on top until the Apple logo appeared, but that didn't help.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
