I use Google Voice for free text messaging and I'm having a very annoying problem with it since I've updated to the ICS leak (6.14.75). I receive an alert when messages come through and the alert also pops up in the notification bar. However, it only stays for a few seconds. If I happen to catch a text message in my notification bar and then close that bar and immediately reopen it (without clearing the notification) it's immediately gone. I sometimes have 4 or 5 messages that all display as new in GV but don't stay (or ever appear) in the notification bar.
I've confirmed that all notifications are selected in the app and I don't have this issue with any other apps. I have the newest GV (4.0 compatible) installed and I have my VM integrated with my stock dialer but keep my texts set to "Via Google Voice App" as I don't have unlimited texting and messages often send from the wrong number if I set it to "Via the Messaging App".
I've sbf'ed back to GB and upgraded back to ICS to see if that fixed the issue and I can confirm it didn't. There has to be some setting somewhere that I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Anyone on ICS NOT having this issue with GV? If so, which leak are you on?

I use ics first leak. I admit Google voice notification sucks. Sometimes it does not even notify me when I have a text message. I am dealing with it, with the hopes of the fix on upcoming updates.

Ok, so I'm not the only one. I didn't have the issue on my G'Nex so I'm led to believe that it's something in the leak (also on the first one). I'm interested to see if anyone on a newer leak is having our issue.

VM for me is also fine. I love being able to play them through my dialer. Very nice upgrade.

i get every text at least twice! any ideas on what is going on? on rooted gb from p3droid. anybody else experiencing problems? thanks
I've had similar problems with my X2 on Froyo but only when communicating with my friends on AT&T (they both had iPhones).
It's not unique to the rooted GB. It is a bug that, for whatever reason carried over from Froyo.
They said the bug was patched in gingerbread. Are you sure you're not taking about getting the same text in 2 different apps? Meaning in stock texting app and a 3rd party app. If so then you need to disable notification in the stock texting app.

I have not had 1 duplicated message since i went to GB (Now on rooted GB).. So check your settings, make sure you disabled the stock text app if your using an SMS program.

i use handcent sms and already disable notifications for stock app but i still recieve the text twice in handcent!
I noticed that when I downloaded ES Task Manager, I got tons of duplicate SMS. When I deleted it, no more duplicates. Not sure if that helps, but it works for me!

Has anyone else had the, I guess problem, where when you send a text that exceeds one page, it now instead of sending it as one message send them as parts and recieves them as parts?

In the original post of the Eclipse thread it does say that it will split them after 160 characters.
Updated MMS.apk
-Set default notifications to always vibrate
-Set default to show full time stamps
-Set user agent to Bionic
-Set Back to all threads rather than taking you back to the home screen
-Set default to split msgs over 160 to send in multiple texts rather than mms.

Oh ok thanks. Didn't notice that. I've looked and I suppose there is no setting for that.
There should be. Atleast on 1.3 its like the fifth option down if you hit the squares button when you're in the messaging app.
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
Just curious what the benefit of setting user agent to bionic would be?
Sorry for the hijack
No clue, I went to GOSMS because of the messenger app but that was back in 1.1 or 1.2.

This was a setting that was implemented into 2.0.X. I would like the option to change the setting. I don't see that option in the settings anymore. I do remember seeing it prior to this update though... Hmmm...
Has anyone even tried switching the mms.apk from an older version?
Just rename the current one to .bak and push the old one to /system and reboot.
If it don't work just undo it ...worth a shot
Open the mms settings and change it back.

Yeah I do not see any option in Eclipse 2.0.2 for turning off the split texts. But I can confirm that Third party SMS apps that have the option will send just one message.
Hey guys, quick question. When I turn off notifications in the stock text messaging, I don't get audio notifications in Handcent app, only visual notifications. Is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the notifications only in Handcent?

Have u frozen any apps and is it only handcent
Haven't asked the developers. Thought I would post in case anyone else was having the issue. No, I haven't frozen anything and I'm not sure what you mean by "only handcent".
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
In HandCent, under "settings," "notification settings," "notification sound," make sure you don't have it set to silent. Use the "test notification" button to make sure it's working, and your phone volume is up.
Also, forget which setting, but enabling "group threading" gathers group message replies into a single thread (like an iPhones group messaging)- an added bonus i came across that's pretty nice.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Think I found it. Under Handcent settings/ application settings, there is an option to set it as the default engine and disable the stock messaging. Sounds like that was what I was looking for. We'll see.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I literally just set this up on mine. Turn off notifications in the stock app...and by default handcent will notify you both visually (through quick reply) and audibly. If in handcent your notifications are activated properly (which is pretty easy to figure out) make sure your phone isn't just on silent under settings. Sounds silly but it happens to the best of us. I never had to modify the setting you mentioned in your last post.

Thanks.I'm pretty sure I had all that correct before and I wasn't getting the audible alerts. If the way I have it now doesn't work, I'll go back and try all that again.

I am stock and unrooted, I updated to the .181 update and now my text notification stopped working. any ideas? i downloaded go sms and that notification works.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Mine works fine, but only had a few texts today
All good here.
Tested and working here.
I rsd back to .173 and then applied the. 181 update and its still the same. When you guys are at a different page other than the homepage and hit the button, does it go to the homepage. That's not working either.

I have the same problem. No text messaging notifications. Stock, but rooted 2.3.6 (latest version). Anyone else have any ideas? Maybe I froze an app that is necessary for notifications?
Edit: NEVER MIND me. I got it. I had the email engine 2.3.6 apk frozen.
Mine works. Might want to factory reset...

When you say you dont get notifications, do you mean sounds or the icon too?
Also have you made sure you have the option enabled?
Go in to your text messages, press the menu button -> messaging settings
and check the notifications option
Why is there no way to disable the annoying delivery report notification in the status bar every time a message is received and just simply get the little checkmark on the bottom of the message bubble? I have tried third party messaging apps (Handcent, GOSMS, Chompsms, iphone messages) and the HTC Sense's compatibility is abysmal, it simply does not want to play nice. I called HTC and they were no help, nor was verizon. Any ideas?
You can turn it all off in message settings. There is no way just to get the check mark on stock Sense.

Yes, it annoys me too. But if you uncheck delivery report in the settings, there's no way of knowing if it was delivered... In earlier HTCs there was a check on the bottom of a message, without status bar notification.
Sent from HTC Droid DNA
so annoying! think theyll fix it in the new update?
are owhonot
installed update, issue still not fixed. dammit!
It shows a message icon at the bottom corner of the text when it's sending, it disappears when it's sent, watch for that, that's how I tell without the notification
But it only means it went out OK from your end. Doesn't mean it was received on the other end. That's the problem.

When is a text message not received? If it is sent it will go to their phone. If it is off it will be pushed when their device turns on.
