I have an ATT Nexus One (2.2) and lately i have not consistently been receiving notification of new sms' in the google voice app. i only realize that i have new messages when visiting google voice via the web or manually opening the client on my device; these messages have been sitting unread for several hours. when i do open the google voice app, the new message alert/notificaiton is set off immediately. i suspect that the background google voice service/listening daemon on android is not running correctly or occasionally needs to be restarted/reset.
i've also noticed that the google voice app doesn't launch the first time i tap on its icon on the home screen. usually the first tap is not registered or the screen flashes as if it's launching. i'll have to select it again, and then it'll launch properly to the inbox.
am i going crazy? anyone else having similar problems? thanks.
i was hoping to uninstall and reinstall the app, but it can't be uninstalled (at least as far as i've seen via the market or in the settings menu)
Hi Guys,
I have had an ongoing problem with my phone for some time, persisting throughout different ROM flashes and full wipes.
I use Handcent SMS, and have notifications turned on, it's a blue icon.
I receive this notification, and another mysterious one from i don't know where.
The other one is white and displayed in the photo below.
One would assume it's the default SMS app that's displaying it, but...
I have most definitely turned off notifications in the default SMS application, and have no other SMS apps installed, just the default "Messaging" and Handcent.
Also, when i read the message, it doesn't clear until i manually "Clear all notifications". IIRC, i even removed the default SMS app and still got those messages, but i can't be certain of that as it was awhile ago.
Has anyone else experienced this, and know of a way i can fix?
Any help would be most appreciated.
The notifications appear as such...
"You have an unread message"
"You have 0 unread messages"

A bit hard to to be sure without a screen shot - try uploading it to imageshack and posting a link (you'll to need to change the link a bit such that XDA doesn't recognize it as a link).
Most likely it is the default messaging app, Please recheck that notifications are disabled there. If they are, you can also try to enable them, and see if you now get 3 notifications on each SMS....
Hi, Thanks for the reply =)
Interesting, I enabled notifications in the default sms app and now i get 3 notifications!
So i can only assume it's something else!
I have two screenshots...

This is a photo with the 3 notifications (if i enable notification in the default sms app)

Ok, so it aint the default messaging app. What happens when you press on the notification? Maybe it opens this app?
I guess this might be a little extreme, but you can always do a full wipe, and then do a clean install - verify you get only one notification with a clean install (no apps). Then start installing your apps and try to find out which is the offending app. If you do want to do this, I suggest you wait a few days, I should release a bugfix version 1.1.9 shortly.
BTW, there are easier/better ways to take screen shots, like "ShootMe" on the market, or the ddms utility which comes with the andoird SDK if you have adb working.

Great, thanks very much for the advice. I'll wait for the new Floyo release and try a process of elimination.
Also, loving your Floyo ROM.. it's improved my Hero immensly \o/
Much appreciated, keep up the good work =)
Hi All,
I just got an evo and ran into something that is irking me. On my epic, I use go-sms and every time I open the application, it returns me to the message list. This is using standard settings, and no task killers.
On the evo, I open up the sms app and it returns me to whatever I was looking at before. Is this how it works for everyone? Is there any way to set the default to the message list?
I often use the home button to return to the desktop and it is annoying to have to back up every time I need to see the message list.
Thanks!
Ok so when I receive a message in Handcent I get the pop up windows and no notifications from the default app. But after about 5 seconds Hancent opens up a new message window for no reason. I don't have the option to set a default messaging app. The window pops up, but there's not "set default" checkbox. Also when i go to the application settings, the "clear defaults" button is greyed out for both. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn't help. Anyone know how to fix this?
so i encountered this issue recently on my phone. basically i dont see the number of meesages notification on my messaging. i get notifications on the status bar but i cant see how many unread messages i have unless i go into messaging. i tried force stopping and clearing data/cache, another thing i will try to do later is switch to a third party messaging app and then switch back to see if that made a difference.
