I started using Google Voice for my voicemail. Seems to work OK. But I miss having an obvious visual cue on my homescreen that there is new voicemail. Do I have to periodically run Google Voice and look for messages, or is there someway to get an obviouis notification on my homescreen?

I also do not get any notification of voicemail, but I don't think I'm using googlevoice as to get my voicemail I have to call myself. First thread I found about a similar problem to mine, still researching...
You need to download the Google Voice app. It will do everything you ask for and more.

When I set up my phone I selected GV for SMS and VM. I got tired of getting two sms notifications when I received one SMS etc....
After I rooted N1 I tried to remove GV (unsuccessfully) and I selected "my Carrier" for the default on VM and SMS. Fixed sms but....now anyone who calls my TMO number gets sent to my GV voice-mail.
What can I do? Any help appreciated.
Doesn't answer your question, but just an FYI: You could go into the default message app and turn off notifications so that you only receive one when you get an SMS.
in order to disable google voice voicemail just dial this ##004# and hit the call button.
Go into your call settings and change the call forwarding numbers back to your carrier's vmail number.
Not sure why you'd want to not use Google Voice, since it's got vmail transcription, etc. Your multiple notifications issue is simple user error and that can be fixed by adjusting your settings.
Hell Yeah!!! Thanks a lot!! Momo
Every time I get a GV voicemail, I than get an email in my gmail. I love GV. hell I have had it since GC days 2007. Android is new to me. But I have laid down my crackberry habit of 6 years. My wife's G1 one got me started. Sure loving this community and my N1.
*******Unsari1 ,,I already changed my call settings back but that did not help.
no problem glad it worked.
Also, if you were getting 2 notifications for sms, it's because you had the notification turned on in both GV and in the small client and not because there's a flaw.
Posted in another thread, but thought this was relevant to this thread as well...
To any of you who are using Google Voice as your default voicemail app... do you notice the phone's settings revert back to carrier voicemail after a reboot?
If I go to dialer after a reboot and hit the voicemail button, it dials T-mobile vmail... and if I go to Settings>Call Settings, Google Voice isn't selected anymore. So basically, it has to be set again after each reboot...
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.
Ok i've noticed that ever since i turned the phone on the (new voicemail) notification is on in the status bar. when i click on it it dials the voicemail but i have nothing in my inbox. The notification continues to stay in the status bar and i have done multiple resets already. any ideas guys?
I think it has something to do with visual voicemail. I know the problems is also on the HD2. Do you ever get text messages that have "129" on them?

Hmm i dont think i ever had a text like that. but i sent myself a voicemessage just to see if that would clear it up but instead i got a email, the visual voice mail notification, AND the regular "dial voice mail" notification and the "dial voice mail" is the one thats been stuck there.
I've had my DX since last June and have always used Youmail for voice mail. Whenever I received a voice message, I'd get the YouMail notification.
For the last few days, I've been receiving a notification from the stock voicemail app saying I have unread messages, which I don't.
Anyone aware of this bug?
I should add that I'm using ADW.Launcher on top of MotoBlur.
Have you tried actually checking your VZW voicemail? If someone were to "reply" to your voicemail without actually calling you, you could get a VZW voicemail.
I would also recommend going in and making sure that there are no new voicemails in there
Judging by the thanks you gave me... i assume you got it?? lol
Anybody else using the Google Phone Go Apk? Works but get a nag message and voicemail notification doesn't work. Fixed voicemail by forwarding to Google voice which I do regardless. The spam blocking works.
