I've read several threads here and tried the recommended settings:
MWIEnable (checked)
X_VMWIEnable (checked)
MessageWaiting (unchecked and default unchecked)
I have the latest firmware update (March 15th). I've deleted all spam, trash, and text messages in my GV account, so there are only VM in there, and yet, I still can't get VM indicator working to correctly show whether I have any unread VMs or not.
First a little background about how I'm using the Obi110, in case it's relevant.
I'm not using it to make outgoing calls at all.
I want to use GV primarily for it's filtering abilities... with GV, I can set it up so only people in my GV contacts list actually ring the GoogleChat (Obi110) line, and everyone else (telemarketers, fund raisers, etc) goes directly to voicemail.
But I'm not ready to port my main number to Google, and besides, I want outgoing calls (especially 911) to use the POTS line.
So I set up the Obi110 with a GV account on SP1, and then unchecked the box for "Make This the Primary Line to Call Out". Then on Verizon, I forwarded ALL incoming calls to my GV number.
Now, incoming calls go through Google, and Contacts come to my Obi and ring my phone, while others get GV voicemail. Outgoing calls use the POTS line and my friends and 911 will see my real Verizon caller ID.
If I don't answer, it goes to my GV voicemail box. So far so good.
However, I have two different, opposite problems with the VM indicator:
1) when a voicemail from a friend comes in, it lights up the VM indicator. I call the GV number and listen to the VM, and mark it to be "Archived" (there is no "delete" option in the dial-in VM tools on GV)... BUT the VM indicator never goes off.... I can log into the Obi and uncheck "MessageWaiting", and reboot, and it goes away, but I can't do that every time I get a voicemail! I'll never know for sure if the blinking light is really a voicemail, or just a "ghost of voicemails past".
2) when a voicemail is left by someone not in my contacts (someone who never rang my phone), the VM indicator never lights up, until another VM is left by someone on the contacts list. I can see the VM right there in GoogleVoice, but it doesn't turn on "MessageWaiting" on the Obi and my phone. I really want to see those voicemails... so that if it is a real caller, I can add them to my Contacts so they ring next time. Most telemarketing robocalls just hang up when they detect voicemail, so if a message is left, it's probably a real person who I don't have in my Contacts yet.
Anyway.... does anyone else have this combination of problems? Any Solutions?
