iPhone not displaying a badge when I have voice mail waiting to be heard
When I have unheard voicemail messages, my iPhone is not displaying a 'message waiting' badge (red dot) above the "voicemail" icon at the bottom right of the list of incoming and outgoing calls. ...
The problem is not solved but I'm part way there. I called tech support and the found my vmail server was really messed up so they reset it completely: had to set a new password and greeting (and lost the vmail that was there). So I then called my phone twice (from a separate line) and left a single voice mail message. The phone popped up banners when the calls came in and afterwards I saw a badge on the phone app icon:
When I open the phone app I then find a badge on the Recents icon - but no badge above "Voicemail", even though I left a message. I verified the latter by tapping on this icon and hearing the "you have one unheard message' prompt from the voicemail server.
Any other ideas? I checked Settings -> General -> About for software updates, but there are none pending..
Have you rebooted your phone?
