Google voice SMS on 1.5 - Hero, G2 Touch General

Just start messing with android. My Nexus all i have to do is run google voice and i can turn off notifications for default sms app. All notifications will alert me if phone is awake or sleep.
With the hero i dont get notifications when phone is sleep if i turn off default app and use just google voice app. To sum up, when phone goes to sleep i dont get alerts form google voice app until i wake the phone up. Is that the way 1.5 works?

[Q] epic will not vibrate w/ new texts

when i have my phone on vibrate it does so with calls but not on texts even though i turned on the option under the settings for texts. i also tried audiomanager which doesnt seem to work either.
anyone else having this problem and is there a way to fix it?
Annoying as it is, the vibrate for incoming texts is controlled separately from the ringer volume. Meaning that if you turn on vibrate, it will always vibrate even if your phone isn't set to vibrate.
Menu -> Settings -> Vibrate from the text thread list.
My solution is to use the Tasker app to vibrate the phone when I receive a text on the condition that variable %SILENT = vibrate.
What I'm trying to say is that even when I go to settings and vibrate under text menu it doesn't vibrate on texts. I may give that app a try.

I started having this problem a few days ago and just solved it. I'm using Handcent for SMS, and even though my phone was set to vibrate, and Handcent notifications were set to vibrate, suddenly all of my notifications (Handcent and otherwise) stopped vibrating. Vibrate still worked on calls. I simply downloaded the free app "Sound Manager" from the Market and went to Vibrate from the Menu. For some reason Vibrate for Notifications was set to "Never". Not sure how, since I don't think there's a setting for this in the stock settings on the Epic, but I changed it and now vibrate works on all notifications again.
To me this is easier than setting something up in Tasker (though Tasker is way cool).
Sweet! Thanks so much its finally working now...

Vibe voicemail notification on Vibrate sound profile?

When on the normal sound profile, you can set an audio notification for when you receive a voicemail.
When on vibrate, I can't seem to find any way to set it to give a vibrating notification in the same way. Is this not possible? [In other words, someone calls and the phone vibrates, you decline the call...they leave a message...I want it to vibrate again to indicate they left a message.]
My workaround for this issue was to start using google voice for my voicemail. The google voice visual voicemail app has a vibrate option for notifications of new voicemails.

[Q] Google Voice Text Notifcation (how to turn off) [SOLVED]

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.

Weird notification issues

In the last few days I have a problem with notifications. I get notifications when the screen is on. But as soon as I turn the screen off the alarm doesn't ring, I don't get notifications from Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger. Weirdly enough, I get my e-mails instantly no matter if the screen is on or off, same with receiving phone calls. What could be causing this? My phone is rooted with Cataclysm ROM. But I have the ROM for some time now and it worked normally.
I have the same thing here.
Did you use gmail for works ?
I am a stupid idiot. Since I have a custom ROM I enabled "Long press back to kill user app" in the Cataclysm settings. In time I started killing all apps like that upon exiting them. When you do this to your clock, facebook or whatsapp it kills them and they go to sleep. You can only wake them when you start them again and then the notifications come. Maybe it's the same for you?

when do not disturb is on and you are uising google maps to navigate the call will pop up. how do you stop this from happening? just realized this happens when any app is open.
