Hi. I'm using superclean 2.4 voodoo and am using Google Voice for voicemail. I turned off the text notification option in its settings, but I still get text/transcripts every time I get a voicemail and it's extremely annoying for me. I just want a regular voicemail notification icon in the notification bar and that's it. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks in advance.
I believe I figured it out. Regardless of what the app settings are, it was turned on within Google Voice on the website for my account under Settings/Voicemail tab under "Voicemail Notifications" where it was checked on. I still believe the app is buggy since even when I delete voicemails via the app, say in the Spam folder or Trash folder, they don't go away - I have to login to the website to do that. So just a heads up for anyone who runs into any these problems.

Hi guys.
I seem to be having SMS notification problems. Upon receiving a SMS I get the notification fine, but when I dismiss it it does not go away unless I dismiss it a second time.
This is very annoying and hopefully not a "feature" of WM5 notifications.
Furthermore it does not seem possible to dismiss the voicemail notification AT ALL...
Reg fix anyone?
Thanks for any help!

I can't say you are the only one, but for certain, I do not have that problem. As for voicemail, once it is listened to, the vmail indicator/notification should go away.
Damn so then its a problem with :
a) Software I have installed
b) extended rom cab i have not installed
c) the planet alignment...
As for the voicemail yeah listening to it makes the notification go away, but surely "dismiss" should make it dismiss without needing to actually hear the voicemail ?
Anyone have any ideas ? I can post exactly what roms/software I have installed if it helps...
Cheers!
The "sms" that you have received is not a normal sms notifcation from the voicemail.
I think your voicemail has an extra option for notification, it's called "icon notification" in a normal phone you will see an enveloppe which tells you there are new voicemail messages. this enveloppe can only be deleted by listening to all new messages, after you've done that the voicemail will send a notification to your phone to turn the icon off.
BUT windows mobile 5 cannot handle the icon notification which means the icon will not be removed if you listen to your voicemail messages. while you're listening to your new voicemail messages you will notice that you will receive an empty sms (this is the notification for the phone to turn the icon off) unfortunately the phone does not understand the notification to turn the notification off, so as far as I know there's no way to get rid of the message.
I solved it by turning off the icon notification option in the voicemail, then did a hardreset and but my backup back.
I hope you understand what the option icon notification, otherwise just ask!

I am forwarding all of my calls to my Google voice account for the visual voicemail and voice to text feature. Here is the thing.... Google voice only has the option to refresh every 5 minutes minimum....
Everytime I get a voicemail, I also get an email which is push...
My question is, am I missing something or does the google voice notification seem like a waste of battery and system resources if I am going to get an email instantly anyways? Am I missing something here?
EDIT : Title should read : Google Voice Voicemail notification necessary?
in the options isn't there a box to check if you want sms and email, or one or the other?
ya i just looked, there is
In the app it doesnt have that option, but im not sure about online. My question is i guess, why would anyone want "Voice" voicemail notifications if you already get them over email. Its just one more running auto refreshing app, right?
brinkley: What does that have to do with it? You use GVoice to email so you don't need to use/pay for SMS.
But yes, it's basically a waste. Every 5 minutes for GVoice means I almost always get the e-mail notification early instead.
One thing that I am hating about GVoice integration is not being able to remove the reply text when you try to reply to an SMS via email. So your SMS reply ends up being like:
Hey! Yes, meet us there at 5:30

So you HAVE to go into the GVoice app to reply to an SMS if you don't want all that junk.
Additionally, I hate how even if you get a gmail or gvoice notification, when you go into gvoice or gmail to check, the notification does not go away? It's retarded. Additionally, why give me a GVoice notification, WHEN I'M IN THE APP!
Ugh. It's super annoying.

Well you want the notifications going through the Google voice app because you just click on the notification and listen to the message streamed to you. If you have it go through your email you can see the transcription but not listen to the message. I would go to the website and unclick send email if you have the google app.
ya I had it set up and was getting three notifications, sms, email, and voice notification in the bar.
uncheck the boxes online in settings menu so it looks like you'd get no notifications.
then you just get the voice app notification on the phone.
aldo, I have no idea what you mean. I use gv for voicemail only

Glad someone agrees. I don't use google voice for anything except visual voicemail, but it just seemed redundant. I get an email, I manually refresh voice, and there is my message.
First of all I am rooted -=- already everything works fine for me only one thing I am having issues,, I installed Handcent…and made it my default TEXTING app
But I still get notifications from the messaging app that came pre installed
..
I did go to settings>I unchecked Auto retrieve and Notifications on the pre installed so
I won’t get it notification from the preinstalled app
It was doing good before the ROOT
But now I get both apps notifying me?
Can anyone give some advice?
To resolve this issue
yeah just go to the settings of the default txting app and turn off notifications there.
I did still get both notifications
Sent from my vibrant
using XDA App
1. The auto retrieve is for multimedia messages - if you leave it unchecked it will send you a message asking if you want to download it, then it will come to your phone (So, i'd probably re-enable that)
2. I doubt this will make a difference, so you can try to skip over the 3 if you want, but, you can try re-enabling the notifications, selecting the "silent" ringtone, and then disable the notifications again (just in case there was a bug about the notification box)
3. This is what most likely is the problem and I'm at work so I don't have time to test out all the combinations, but do you have another app that controls sounds (ringo, sms alert, etc.) that could be sounding an alert as well? Test out changing different alerts and txting yourself (either from your phone or set up a google voice account and send them quicker) and see what alert is really is that's notifying you besides handcent.
good luck, I'll check back after work!

thanks let me try a few combinations
What you have to do is first reset defaults for text messages under Samsungs text app. Now go to handcent and turn off notifications. Now next time you get text click the one notification you got. It should ask you what app you want to use to open it. Default it to handcent. You now only have one notification. It's a crappy workaround but its the only thing that works. You can try to uninstall twizmms but usually that causes more problems then it solves
If my ways don't work i'd say try psychoace's idea...it sounds like it'll work.
And I guess if ur like acjones you might want the auto retrieve off (maybe high schooler with lady friends...?) But for those of us without an issue its just an extra step, and has nothing to do with the notification tones

So I installed dl30 on my fathers fascinate. Everything works fine aside from he is getting a double notification icon for sms/mms messages. One is white and looks like an envelope and the other is the normal smiley face word bubble. I've gone through every facet of notifications and settings with adw and phone settings as well as trying to figure out if it is a program but no dice..the only way I can get around this is to turn off sms/mms notifications in messaging settings but that leaves him with the white icon and the goal is to have only the smiley word bubble.
Anyone have any ideas?

The envelope is usually email...

I know that however that isn't the case this time. Also I select that icon in the notification list and it takes me to messages.

Does he have an email set up as a contact?
You're not alone. I also get double notification. One is the normal sms/mms notification icon and the other is a white envelope. Not sure what it could be. It actually happened to me before DL30. Let me know if you figure it out...

White envelope is google voice. disable notifications in google voice.

Last night, I was going to flash CM7, 7.0.3.1. Did a nandroid of my stock, rooted, 2.3.3 rom (I flashed the GB update from x99Percent last friday). After flashing CM7, I was attempting to set up Google Voice, but was having issues, where it couldn't sync with Sprint, or something like that. So, I wiped data/cache/dalvik, and I restored my nandroid backup.
This morning, I received a text through Google Voice. I never receive texts through GV. Only voicemails. I've also noticed in menu, settings, call, voicemail service, I only have "My Carrier" listed, and not "My Carrier" and "Google Voice". Under voicemail settings, it shows my google voice #.
How do I get everything back to the way it was? I want texts to come through the HTC messaging app, and I only want voicemails to come through to GV.
Unintegrate gv and reintegrate. I had the same issue, and sprint told me it was because my phone was damaged beyond repair, which anyone who has ever owned an htc phone knows is bull****. This phone is a brick house and I fixed it myself on gv desktop site.
I had the same problem at first. To fix it, go into the voice app on your phone and under settings>sync and notifications> and choose to receive notifications via text message. Turn off inbox notifications, and your back to getting texts as normal.

That gets me very close to what I want. Now if only I didn't receive a text message when I have a voicemail. But, it will have to do for now.

Go Settings>Applications>Manage Apps. Clear data under the voicemail app. Next, dial *38 on your phone (asterisk 3 8). It should beep a few times and then hang up by itself. Update your profile. Get someone to call you and the voicemail should no longer be a text, but show up as a voicemail icon and be in your voicemail app.

Are talking about getting a text that you have a voice mail? If so go to Settings in GV click on voice mail tab>voice mail notifications >un-check the box that reads send text .
