[Q] Lollipop style incoming call notification post-Lollipop Verizon upgrade - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I just got the OTA update for my Verizon GS4. I'm told that incoming calls on Lollipop are supposed to be pop up notifications like you would see for any other app notifications, but when I get an incoming call it's just going full screen right away like it did on KitKat. Am I missing something, or did Sammy take that away?

No voice call if receiving text?

Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.

[Q] No Verizon voicemail notification

Hi. I'm running CM 10.1-20130117 nightly on my Fascinate. For the most part it works great as a daily driver. The only major issue I have is I don't get voicemail notification.
It acts as if it only checks for voicemail once when it powers on.
If I have voicemail when I reboot the phone, I get the notification, and it stays on even after the message is cleared. If I reboot the phone again the notification goes away, but doesn't come back on if I receive new voicemail.
I've had this issue across multiple nightly builds. Other notifications such as email and text work correctly.
In settings, I've tried selecting and deselecting message wait indicator. Service is set to My Carrier, and voicemail number is *86. I haven't loaded any voicemail apps, and I've also cleared out all voice messages.
Can someone help me out?
This is a common issue for 4.2.2 ROMs on older Android phones. There is no known fix and I have experienced it on both a Droid Incredible and Samsung Fascinate on Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO).

Maybe you should install a voicemail app... I wouldn't go with verizon's visual voicemail since you gotta pay a monthly fee to access your messages. Go with Google Voice. It's free, easy to set up, allows access from the app/web, works with messages same as you would with emails, transcribes recordings... did i mention its free? Went with google voice a long time ago n never looked back... verizon's a joke.
I know it's an old post, but AOKP worked for me for the VM notification.

Missed Call Alert Not Showing

Hello,
I am currently using the Galaxy S3 i9300 and if the phone is in standby, I am getting the missed call alerts. But when I am currently on call and some other person is trying to call my number I am not getting that notification (even when I am on call nor after I end the call).
Previously, when I used to be on call and some other person called in between then I used to hear a beep sound during my call and a notification used to be shown on screen that I am getting another call. And after I ended the call that other call used to be shown in missed call alert. Now this is not happening.
Does anyone have any idea what`s wrong with the phone?

[Q] Not receiving SMS notification

When I am on clash of clans I do not receive any SMS notification and this is very irritating incase someone important texts me I wouldn't know until I reboot my phone. I was thinking about updating to 5.0.2 lollipop to fix this. I am rooted and on 4.4.4 kitkat. My device is XT1034 or the moto g 1st gen
Not receiving SMS notification
I just want to share an app I have on my phone. Hooks Alerts for Everything allows me to receive notifications right away.

[Q] [REQ] Best Voice Call Accept/Reject App for LG G Stylo LP 5.1.1

I'm just looking for a simple app that will enable this feature, I was trying Smart Call Accept it worked but it annoyingly stopped the phone from ringing 3 seconds into the call...
I just want a simple app like that that will allow me to accept calls by saying "Hello" or whatever, tried Utter it had the option but didn't work and was toooo feature rich, I rarely and barely ever used S Voice so why would I need another like that that I'd hardly fully use.
Anybody got any suggestions, I'm doing this to get rid of the swipe to accept incoming calls on this phone, if it had the tap accept/reject button feature I wouldn't even be looking for a app to do what I'm asking now.
Thanks
