Hey guys,
I have been using the Sprint/GV integration for a while now, and things have been great. Text has been arriving instantly on my computer, where I do most of my text communication. Now I have noticed that ever since Google updated to 0.4.2.36, my texts are delayed to GV's site and GVNotifier. If I open up the text on my phone, it pops up on my computer a few seconds later. If I leave the text unopened, it can sit for hours, or sometimes I'll get another new text 10-20 minutes later, and they will all spill out on my PC.
I believe it has something to do with some new settings and sync methods on the new app. Previously, you had the option of syncing your inbox, and it would even give you a warning about duplicate notifications. Now, that is gone. You simply select, GV-only, or both. Before, I had to disable GV notifcations, (including voicemail.) Now with this change, and sync settings, it's almost as if GV isn't getting my text until my phone syncs it with my GV account. Previously this tended to happen on the back-end, regardless if my phone was online or not. In fact, when I have my phone turned off, texts come through GV/GVNotifier just fine... Not sure what can cause the GV app to do this. I am considering removing it completely, but I like being able to search through my texts.
Has anyone else noticed issues since the new GV app was released?

I've experienced something similar...Sometimes, I will get a text on GV(site&app) but it will never come to my phone, and people have gotten angry at me for not replying, but it's not until I check the app or site that I notice I got a text message. This only started happening with the recent update to the GV app.
Another thing that bothers me is the inability to mark all as read from the site/app. Gmail does it..WTF Google? I have over 600 supposedly unread messages sitting on GV that I can't mark all as read. I have to manually go and mark a page at a time (which is around 10) until they're all marked, fail.

I have to go in daily and mark texts as read... Luckily I spend a lot of time on the website, but it is still annoying.
I too have the same issue with some texts only going to GV.... it's a bit more rare than the other problems, but it has happened about 5 times in the last few weeks. I find myself using the larger GV widget now, and checking it regularly.
BTW they just redesigned the site so you can select all and mark them read. I just do a label:unread then check 'em all.
So I just restored GV 0.4.2.32 on my Evo 3D, and all of the sudden my texts are arriving on my computer instantly, and things seem overall more consistent. I can't say for sure this is the fix, but it seems promising. I wish I had a later version, since this is from June.
Does anyone have the previous version we can reinstall? Mine is doing the same thing.. Im on the EVO4G.
Someone sent me a text at 8:05 PM last night.. I never received it.. HOWEVER, this morning I received a REGULAR TEXT MESSAGE (not google voice but regular phone text).. as soon as that one came through, so did the google voice text. This same thing has been happening every day for the past month. If I leave the APP OPEN with the phone on, it seems to work, but if not, my google voice texts and notifications seem to only come in when I get a regular text message... I can hear he regular text message notification sound and then right after I hear the google voice notification sound...
I assume if we go back to the previous version it will work again?
Thanks...

yeah don't count on Google support forums to help. I saw your post... just have to prevent the old version from upgrading.

I used TITANIUM BACKUP and set the app to be disconnected from the APP STORE so it doesnt check for updates and the app store basically doesnt know it was installed from there.
Hey guys!
As you can see my first post here although I frequently come to xda to fix any problems I have or to browse roms, I love this website! This is the first time that I couldnt find a thread relating to what I am looking for (I hopeI havnt missed it).
At the moment I am using CM 7.1 on my Desire HD.
I was wondering if it is possible that when I swipe to clear a notification (in particular messages, I used GO SMS for text messages and Whatsapp) that it counts as a 'read' message. At the moment it just removes it from the notification bar although the message is still unread.
I hope I made clear what I am trying to get across.
Any help would be grateful. Is what I am looking for even possible?
Thanks!!
I too would like to know the answer to this. I hate having to go into the message application for it to actuallyregister as being read.
hi is there anyway to turn off facebook message notifications? all it says is turn off alerts for 1 hour or till 8 am

In the facebook application, hit Menu -> Settings -> and look in Notification settings.
It should say "Notifications: Active" hit the checkbox next to it to turn it off
He's talking about the messenger app, not the facebook app itself.
So far as I know there is no way to turn off the notifications in the messenger app itself. I might make more sense to just uninstall it seeing as the normal facebook app lets you use chat when you want to anyway.
No I'm talking about just the Facebook App lol in it u can disable all the notifications individually besides the messaging one

Yeah, I'm having the same issue with the Facebook app for Android. It seems that you are only allowed to disable message notifications for a certain amount of time before it automatically re-enables itself. Pretty annoying, especially since I am using a messenger-aggregator app that gives me notifications for Facebook messages too. Any help would be really appreciated
So any option to disable chat notification forever? I only get them de-activated for 8 hours every time
hi we are just talking about facebook message notifications not all notifications, im looking for this one also....
is really stupid that you cant disable this.... what is the use of disable this for 8hours???
And you don't want to just get rid of the app?

It seems like any other notification can be disabled permanently but the messages one. Very stupid and extremely annoying indeed!

This works for me. I hate the msg app as well but like other notifications. Did this for each person I talk to. And it stays off perm after doing this for each user.
http://www.guidingtech.com/19422/disable-facebook-android-notifications-certain-friends/
I'm having the same problem. I don't want to uninstall the app, or turn off all notifications, because I'd like to still get notifications on wall posts and comments.
As others have stated, I also use a messenger that puts gtalk and facebook together, and it's just annoying to receive double notifications for facebook messages.
It seems people are misunderstanding what is being asked.
Facebook has a great deal many different features and gives notifications for each individually. Notifications of new posts are separate from notifications of new comments are separate from notifications of new messages etc.
We all want to get Facebook notifications *except* for messages. We want to be notified when a friend posts to their wall or comments on a post we are involved in. We do not want to be notified when some one messages on Facebook... or rather... do not want to be notified twice.
Both the Facebook app and the Facebook messenger app will not let you turn message notifications off. You can turn every other notification off individually or you can turn off all notifications completely... but when you disable just the one for messages in either app it tells you when it's going to turn it back on. We want it off permanently without losing our other notifications.
When I get a text while the screen is off, it shows up in the lock screen like it's supposed to. But if I pull the text down to the ring to unlock the screen, it will open up the text conversation at the 1st message in the convo instead of the most recent one. So I have to either:
A. Scroll all the way through the conversation down to the bottom, or...
B. back out to my list of threads and go back into the one from the person who just txt'd, at which point everything behaves like normal (showing the new text.)
Does anybody else get this?
I've had it happen a couple of times, not often though. Might be a silly question but have you rebooted the phone? I had a glitch when I first got mine with the audio and when I did a hard restart (with the fast boot option off) it fixed it. I've actually just left fast boot off because it starts up plenty fast no matter what.

I get this all the time. Not really a solution but an alternative to scrolling, you can touch the screen when in conversation and on the right a slider will appear and you can just slide this to the bottom. It scrolls by days so its much faster than just flicking through.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when I get a picture message, the date and time of the last text on the main thread screen (where you can see my conversations) for that conversation thread is always that of the pic message and only updates to the correct date and time of the last text when the pic message is deleted.

same nev. but if you click one over to sms and mms and not all messages, it shows the right time lol

The messaging app is quirky as hell. It redraws on me SO many times; it's so frustrating. It constantly shows people's phone numbers before switching to the names. I also experience the bug mentioned in this thread quite often.
It's a shame, really. The messaging app is beautiful and I LOVE that it natively does group MMS - something I'm shocked that Google has yet to implement when it's a much coveted feature in iOS. Being a college student, I see group MMS used quite often, especially with group projects.
I would switch to another messaging app, but I'll miss the lock screen functionality. I also find the UI of most alternatives to be pretty ugly.

On the sms/mms thread it shows the time of the most recent message.

Man, I thought it was just me. Like another poster mentioned, the app is beautiful, but glitchy. Has anyone else noticed it switchingover to 3G and not switching back? My wife has a razr and has good signal when I drop to 3G. Seems like software, so maybe new radios will fix it?
I too experience redrawing and time being incorrect when a mms is involved in a thread between someone. And switching to the middle "sms/mms" tab does fix it. Also sometimes I'll have to back out to the main messaging screen and then go back to a thread in order for it to update. Example: I'll get a text, I go to the thread and then get another text from the same person right after. I know so because it shows up in the notification bar, but it won't show up in the thread unless I exit it and come back to it so it can refresh.
here's HTC's response as to why it redraws:
"As far as the SMS application, I have noticed that. To be honest with you, the SMS application just like the People application is only an application that is designed to read a database, it doesn't actually store the information. Not only this, but as you may already know, SMS is sent through the network as number only, so when the phone gets the message its actually nothing but a number and the contents (data/text). So, when the phone receives the message it places it in the dialer storage application's databases. Then the messaging application polls that database to load all the available message threads, then the message application polls the contact storage database to cross-reference all of the contact information with the information in the message, and finally it links the storage information from the contact database to the message"

very good point. and any other phone does this too. dont know why its a big deal here?
another issue I have noticed is if you are using the voice dictation with Google now to send a text to someone then that text may not show up in the messaging thread between you and that person.
Not to go too far off topic, but have any of you guys tried Handcent SMS? It's a free SMS/MMS replacement app that is so much better than any preinstalled messaging app I've used on Android.
You can have new messages show as a on-screen pop-up that can bypass the lockscreen and directly show you the message and let you reply from the pop-up. It also does group MMS (among many other options I won't go into detail about).
It's extremely more customizable than any Android stock messaging app I've seen, and it's the first thing me and all the friends I've told about it install on their new Android phones. Set aside 30 minutes to set all the options the way you want it, as there are many of them.
Stock htc one looks better in my opinion. I used to use go sms pro on my old incredible with aokp rom

Handcent just looks like a failed attempt at knocking off the iPhone messaging app. And its just heavy. The HTC one is polished and extremely smooth, and customizable to a reasonable extent.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
Unfortunately for you, everything you listed works fine on my DNA. It displays a notification on the icon, when you send a message it shows a pending thing in the messaging app till its sent, it previews the text messages on the lockscreen so you may read them and you can open directly to it.
If none of that works for you, try clearing your app data or even resetting your phone.

The HTC messaging app doesn't have the check marks or the bubble skin, thats just something that you will have to deal with until we get a custom ROM that has those options. For the notification issues, go for a full reset, return it and get a new one (cause something is obviously wrong), or install a good custom rom like Venom or UKB.
As for your issue with iCal not syncing, I used "SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar", it's not free ($1.99 I think) but it worked great for me. Just be sure to link your iCal with your iClould.
I use gosms and have no issues. I uninstall the stock messaging app though. Even before when I couldn't delete it. Never had any issues. I'd do a factory reset then mess with the setting in the messaging apps
