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.

  • One red dot appearing in right side of screen in Xperia z

    I am using Xperia Z, a Very small red dot appearing in right side of screen that displays only in black background
    Please help..

    What thommo meant is it's ( stuck pixel) a pixel that fails to show any other colour than what it's showing you ( red here )
    A dead pixel is dead and it doesn't show any colour.
    Upto 4 stuck / dead pixels are considered normal but above that it is considered as hardware defect.
    In that case you could claim for warranty and have the device repaired or replaced free of cost.
     

  • Little red dots appear in SWF

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this
    or has any suggestions. I have a timeline animation with very
    little coding in it. When I publish it, little red dots appear here
    and there over areas that are just a black background (at least
    that's where I can see them in the SWF). They appear consistently
    in the same locations and patterns, but there's nothing in FLA that
    should be causing this. I'm using CS3, and publishing to Flash
    player 8, as2. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thank you for your answer, because I never would have
    suspected it was the movement causing it, since usually there's no
    problem. It was an animated text object which had animation for
    position, scale and alpha. There are gradients in other objects on
    the stage, so maybe that's not helping either. It's strange,
    because I animate things all the time without artifacts. I tried
    settings all the parameters to integers, but it's still doing it,
    so I'll just change the animation for this sequence to something
    that doesn't do that. Thanks, again! :)

    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?

    Go into setings and see if you have Celular Data turned on.

  • Does anyone know how can I delete the voice messages from my IPhone? The red notification on my phone icon REALLY disturbs me...

    Seriously, the red thingy on top of my icon is annoying me.. And it doesn't let me hear the stupid message

    Contact YOUR OWN carrier (provider/the company you pay for cellular service) and tell them about your problem with listening to your voicemails. They should be able to reset it for you.
    To delete voicemails: Go to voicemail, choose a voicemail, and swipe left. The "delete" option will appear.

  • How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?

    I got a voicemail and listened to it and deleted it. now the little red dot over the phone icon is still on and won't go away. I have iPhone 4 and just updated to 4.3.5. I'm with TELUS in Canada. Any help would be apreciated.

    why did you revive a thread that had been dead for two years? next time, make sure you're posting on an active thread.

    I had the exact same problem. Iphone 5s on SpeakOut711/Rogers, Canada. There was no voicemail message, and yet the voicemail icon one the phone (dual spools thingy) stays on, regarless of how many times I check my voicemail.
    I got it to 'reset' like this:
    - Call your own cell phone and leave yourself a voice message.
    - Wait for a few minutes.
    - Check your voicemail from your cell phone by pressing (touching?) the voicemail icon which has the red dot (although it may also work if you checked via land line, but not sure).
    - Delete your message.
    You will notice that the icon disappears as soon as you hangup your call. It looks like some voicermail notification sync error between phone and the service provider.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Red dot on phone icon

    I have iphone 5 and iOS7. After I get voice mail a red dot appears with number in it. I called my voicemail and deleted the message. Before the red dot dissappears. But it stays since iOS7. A while ago, I have to power off and on, then the red dot will be gone. But now I have iOS7.1 and no matter what I do, the red dot stays there forever! It's really annoy and could someone tells me how to get rid of it.

    Hi 2 solutions I have read on this forum, one helped me.
    First see if your cellular data is turned on.  If not turn it on and see if the dot goes away.  My did because without cellular you do not receive visual voicemail,  so I assume the dot is alerting you to an issue.
    The second suggested going to your carrier because there could be a conflict that only the carrier can resolve. 
    For more solutions search for 'unavailable visual voicemail red dot' and there may be more ideas.
