VmailFix

VmailFix™ is a Freeware application for Windows Mobile devices that allows you to clear Voicemail notification messages on your Pocket PC.  This is useful where Voicemail notification messages are not automatically removed after retrieving your voicemails from your phone service provider.
 

What does VmailFix do?

If you have a Pocket PC or Windows Mobile device, you may find that your voicemail notification does not disappear after listening to your message and dismissing the notification.  If a second voicemail arrives, it is possible you will overlook it by assuming the notification relates to the first message.

Until now, the only way to clear the voicemail notification was to change Registry entries in your Pocket PC by hand, which was a time consuming and error prone process.  VmailFix allows you to clear your voicemail notification with the simple click of a button.

Installation

To download and install VmailFix, follow the steps below:

1.    Prior to installing VmailFix, you will need to download and install the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 (Service Pack 2) onto your Pocket PC. 

2.    Download and install VmailFix 1.0 (Beta release). 

3.    Click Run to download the installation file VmailFixSetup1-0-Beta.msi and install the application on your desktop. 

Note:    If you are using Internet Explorer, you may receive a Security Warning "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?".  Click Run to continue installation of VmailFixSetup1-0-Beta.msi.

4.    Perform a sync to your device using ActiveSync to install the application to your Pocket PC.

Note:    After installation, you may receive a message saying "Please check your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are necessary to complete this installation."  As indicated, you may need to confirm messages on your mobile device to complete the installation of VmailFix.

Using VmailFix

1.    To open VmailFix, tap Start > Programs > VmailFix.

2.    To clear voicemail notification messages, click Clear Voicemail (or tap Menu > Clear Voicemail).

3.    To close VmailFix, tap Done.

4.    For other help, tap Menu > Help.

How does VmailFix work?

VmailFix works by clearing the voicemail counters for the following Registry entries in your mobile device:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread\Count = 0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread\Count = 0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread\Count = 0

Known issues

1.    Tapping Done shuts down the VmailFix application completely, unlike typical Windows Mobile applications that stay running in the background.  This is by design.

2.    Currently VmailFix on-line help does not close automatically after exiting the VmailFix application.  The workaround is to close Help manually.
