How many of you guys use Gvoice as your text messaging client? I just ported my number over to Gvoice a couple weeks back and I dont know if its tmobiles 3g but it doesnt update and notify me of new messages right away. If i reboot the phone I will then be notified of a missed call and voicemail or sms.
I though after the 2.3.3 update it would be fixed because of that whole sudden loss of data but it just happened again today.
Anyone have a similar issue?

Make sure you have background synching on and.... you have it set in the voice settings so everything goes smoothly.

I see this sometimes on the nexus one. Not always though. Usually voice texts and messages come right away, and sometimes they are delayed. I have to go into Google voice, hit refresh, then they all come thru. Guess its a bug.
Im on constant edge when not at home and keep auto sync off and background data on. I still get them all on time.
I love free texting!

If your signal strength indicator is green on a Nexus S, then you have a C2DM connection with Google's servers, and can receive push notifications. If it is white, then the connection is dead, and your notifications are being queued.

My Evo Shift frequently does not make a noise or vibrate when I receive texts.
I checked the settings, and even send test texts from other phones.
Sometimes it rings/vinbrates, sometimes it doesn't.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues?
Is there a fix?
Thanks.
FYI: I did a search of titles under "texts" and "notifications" and got zero results.
Odd question: did you choose to do the GVoice integration with your account? I noticed when I did the integration that text messages were interrupted by Google Voice and not sent directly to my phone. I fixed it by checking a box that said send text to the phone or something along those lines in my GVoice settings. I only found out that was happening because I had their app on my phone still. Otherwise I would not have received any notification either.

Thanks for the repsonse.
No, I did not set up Gvoice Integration.
I've noticed that sometimes if I have the messaging app open when I lock my phone it won't notify me. pretty annoying. Not sure if it's the same problem on your end but mine has done it on every Sense ROM I've tried. I haven't ran any AOSP long enough to notice if they do it as well.
My wife has been complaining of this lately. Myself I haven't had it happen to me, but I use Handcent.
I have the same problem. I have GV installed, and do not get any sound/vibrate when receiving texts. This is a also a problem with voicemails, as i get a text saying to call a number. When i call it tells me to setup my voicemail (its already setup). If i dial 1 from dialer, it goes to voicemail per usual. Is GV causing these problems? - thanks - Viperspike
Wow. I don't even get voicemails. I switched to PF something that is a visual voicemail because my wife was pissed as hell I "ignored" 3 calls. They never even showed up until i called the voicemail number. Same issue with texts.... Anyone have any ideas?

Try using handcent or upgrade to GB 2.3.4 the messaging app in 2.3.4 is a lot better especially with notifications.
Hi,
Hope someone can help, I am running the Offical EE03 posted by k0nane and so far love the rom but running into a couple of errors and wondered if anyone had any thoughts
First problem and maybe the only important one, if i get a voicemail my phone does not notify me nor does any show up in the Voicemail app. Only way is to check the voicemail manually but sometimes i don't realize that I have a voicemail for days, even weeks. If anyone knows a way to initialize it I would be appriciative.
Other problem I have found but not nearly as pressing is I can't be heard if I use speakerphone or a headset with a mic, I can however use just regular ear buds leave phone in lap and they can hear me just fine
Why don't you update to ef02? That may help. You are still using the first GB leak.

Was having this issue on everything above ec05 as well.. might work for ya
turn off wifi turn on 4g
send a vvm to [email protected]
it seems that it doesnt know where to go on 3g, and CANT go on wifi but on 4g it connects and activates and provisions fine.
Thanks, guess i'll have to install new version cause it worked and it also didnt, it notifies me that there is a message waiting but VM app can't download it
Having the same issue with EF02. I tried the activate email address but I just get the message that voicemail failed to provision.

through a bit of googling it appears to be related to using a non stock messaging app. I'm surprised more people aren't reporting it. It caused some major problems at work today for me.
Apparently Go Sms Pro has a toggle to make it only handle incoming messages but it's not where it's supposed to be (Settings-Receive Settings).
Using stock Samsprint bubble mms and no go. /shrug
Didn't know mms app handled the activation voice mail response.
If I get some time will test the aosp mms app. See if that makes a diff.

Hmm, yeah I'm on Bonsai EC05. This has to have something to do on Sprint's side.
Ok, for a few users it appears to be related to new settings in Handcent and Go SMS
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/305100#305100
For Go SMS users the July 1 update has a setting that automatically disables the notifications in the default messaging app. You can find it under "Receive Settings"
After you've disabled it try composing a voicemail to yourself and all the remaining ones should download.
Those on stock, I'm still not sure what's causing it but maybe try composing a voicemail to yourself and see if that fixes it?
So I have decided to pick up a Nexus 7 to use as my primary phone. I will be using a T-Mobile hot spot when mobile, and possibly a spare Android phone to throw in my pocket when the tablet just isn't a possibility. I will of course be using Google Voice with an app for calls and SMS. 99.99% of my phone use is just text or data. I am currently using talkatone free, which seems to work ok except the fact there is no notifications for SMS. I have to open the app and "check sms" just to receive them. I want an app that will show a new message notification in the notifications bar. One that would light up the tablet would be ok as well. I have seen there are some other apps, but I don't want to start buying up apps just to find out they still don't do what I am looking for. Any suggestions?
I use Tablet Talk, its well worth the money.

How does it display new messages?
Just like your phone, a notification with your choice of ringtone, and a messaging interface
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Keep in mind that Tablet Talk will use your plans minutes and text messages. It simply syncs your phones texts and phone calls to your tablet. If you want to make phone calls going through GV then I would recommend talkatone. Ive used many of the apps that claim to make calls through your gmail account but all have failed, except talkatone. Yes, there is a slight delay but its not that bad. On other apps the delay would be 1min or more which is totally unacceptable. Stick with talkatone, its free and it works. I have been using it for a while now and have noticed quality and delay improvements as it has been updated.
My problem with Talkatone is that I don't get SMS notifications. I have to open the app and "check SMS" every time before it gives me the new ones. I can't seem to find any option in there that would turn on notifications or auto sync. This is annoying as I have to proactively be checking for messages all the time instead of just being notified.
A friend is running the same app on his iPad and when he gets a new SMS message it plays a ring tone and shows an number in the upper right of the app icon showing he has a new message. Mine does neither. Then again he is on premium, is this possibly only a feature of premium? I just have no desire spending $3-5 on apps just to find out they lack this basic feature which kills them.
Well it's not a premium feature as I went premium and it still suffers from the same issue. I don't THINK it's a setting on the N7 itself, as I receive notification for other apps just fine.

maybe you have logined on several client, the hangouts will notify only one time!
I have the same issue across multiple accounts and devices. all unique accounts. all on latest stable software
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 4
Nexus 10
Same here beyond annoying.
Notification Issues
I noticed that my lack of notifications was only happening with one contact. Everyone else who messaged me would come through just fine, but my wife's messages would come through without a peep. I finally did figure out what was wrong and wanted to share that here in case it helps any of you.
Specifically, although we'd installed and used Hangouts on her Nexus, in the Gmail desktop site, she hadn't click the "Try Hangouts Now" button (left click on your account's picture in the Gmail buddy list). Once I clicked that, all of her messages now resulted in notifications on my devices. Long story short, if you're having issues with notifications, see if the person messaging you is still using "Talk". A bit silly that Google didnt move her account over to Hangouts once she installed the mobile app, but oh well.
Hope this helps.
can I ask a stupid question - is hangouts allowing for text messaging now?

Its supposed to pop up on all of your devices and when you open it on another device it is supposed to clear them in the other devices

I just confirmed that "Hangouts" does allow instant messaging - it does not hit your text messages (but it does hit your data). the other person must also have "hangouts" installed too in order for you to communicate with them via this app

thanks for clearing some things up for certain users! but is anyone else experiencing this problem besides us.
I am experiencing this too, but seem to have noticed a trend. I do get notifications but only on the device that I most recently used to send the message (not both devices like it should). For example at 1 PM, I send a hangout message to another person from my Galaxy S3, they respond at 1:30 PM and it notifies my GS3 but not my Nexus 7. At 1:45 PM I then respond to their previous message from my Nexus 7, and they respond at 2 PM with only my Nexus 7 receiving the notification. Not sure if this is just coincidence but that's what I've noticed so far.
I'm on a Nexus 4 CM 10.1 (initially RC2, now most recent nightly) w/ Nova Launcher running and get no notifications that I've been messaged. In fact, if I chat with someone via Gmail and then check in the hangouts phone app, it will typically not include the chat that was done on my desktop. This is really irritating. Uninstalled updates back to talk for now.

I had same problem with Hangouts, it coming after upgrading to 4.4.4
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. Got it working with :
Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.
I use Google voice for my voicemail however on each reboot I receive a notification that I have 4 new voicemails in my sprint voicemail. I have called into my sprint voicemail to check this and it is not true. The notification is easily dismissed and doesn't return until the next system reboot so it isn't a very big deal. Still, it would be nice to ferret out this little glitch if possible. SPH-L720 running CM11.

This is an ongoing problem with most if not all non TW roms. I have looked everywhere trying to figure it out and cannot find anything that works for me. There are some posts about getting another phone and switching the number back and forth or something like that but I don't care enough to go through that hassle. I use NotifyClean on Xposed so the notification does not appear everytime I reboot.
