Is anybody with android wear having voicemail notifications?
Not as far as i am aware, neither of my Wear devices ever showed it, never bothered me much as my voice mails go through hangouts anyway and those do show up, but the stock (sprint) icon never showed.

Is anyone else having problems getting Voice Mail notifications? For some reason mine don't show up and I have to call my voicemail randomly just to know when I have one. Is there an app I can download that can help with this? Thanks.
If you aren't getting the voicemail indicator, its most likely a network issue. The MWI (Message Waiting Indicator) Is a text message sent to your phone when a voicemail is deposited into your inbox. If you are receiving sms just fine, but aren't getting voicemail indications, You're going to have to call customer care from a different device, they will basically just reset your location on the network, resend the activation downloads and toggle your messaging services. That pretty much always fixes it.
You might want to also activate Visual Voicemail (just access the application, it will activate as long as your account is set up correctly.)
Thanks for the suggestions, I downloaded voicemail Notifier and it works fine, so I'll just stay with that. I think I deleted Visual voicemail when I was deleting bloatware.

Visual voicemail has been a godsend for me
You should switch your voicemail to Google Voice. Instant notification of transcribed voice mail, as well as free text messaging
Its because you deleted visual voicemail. Reinstall the apk or get it in the mkt it will fix it for you.

I have fully adopted my GVoice number and it is what I give out now. The two main issues are:
Dropping MMS without notification
Some OS or App text integration doesn't work
I love the widgets available to the Samsung Galaxy line of phones but does anyone have experience using them with Google Voice?

I dunno if I can fully answer this, but I'll try.
Using LightFlow, I receive LED light notifications as well as text notifications for any SMS, and emails for MMS - however, I get the "normal" email message notification for MMS, not something that specifically tells me it's an MMS. The widgets aren't super-helpful with MMS, but again, i don't really get/use the GV number for them.
I haven't had any issues with App integration, but I only have texted/used it from the mail app and Chrome, so I dunno if that will answer that question. I don't think I've immersed myself as much as you have, but when I use GV, it has worked great.
This was on my S3 - I had a Tmobile GN2 for a week and it worked just as well. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Thanks for the reply. I guess I wasn't expecting any better integration with GV in this device than other android device.

really?
there has got to be a way to integrate this better. i mean..this is android, and a google app..come on! lol.
Voice has become another red headed stepchild lately, it seems. Been waiting on them to do something about the MMS thing for years. Not a big deal to not get them, but it should at least tell you that you're not getting something someone is attempting! App integration has been bugging me more too. They really need to get on with polishing up the app, or at least open up the api's to let others do what they want to it.
I'm running Peetr's Hybrid rom and noticed that It doesn't have a built in voicemail handling app. So if someone leaves me a voicemail I just get a really wierd text message instead. I was using PF voicemail for call forwarding and voicemail since I was having major service coverage issues and that will tell you missed calls no matter what. But I don't want to use that anymore since it's slow and I'm having problems with it. So my question is. What do I use for voicemail? Is there anything similar to that visual voicemail app that originally came with my phone? Free would be great but if it works I would shell out a couple bucks.
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm using the AOKP JB Rom (thx 3bill) and get multiple text messages for each voicemail. Personally, I loved the visual voicemail that came stock and I'm hoping there's a way to port it in. You can still check your voicemail though just by dialing yourself. BTW, how do you like that Rom as I haven't tried it yet but am loving the AOKP one?
Well this rom is about as good as it gets for me since I have a locked bootloader. But it is very nice compared to stock. I'm using Google voice right now for voice mail and it works pretty good so far. I just wish my texts didn't show up in it at all.

I use Google Voice. It's very configurable. When a voicemail comes in it can notify you by text, e-mail, etc. plus the standard functions you had with visual voicemail that came with the phone. The key is to go into Google Voice web site settings and prevent it from prescreening your calls and handling your texts.

Yep. I just found that out today. I was wondering why the hell it kept asking me to press numbers to answer my calls.

You can turn that off in settings. Not on the app, but on the website. It refers to feature as 'call screening'.
i have an htc one m7. everything seems to work fine with watch and phone, i'm using google hangouts for my texts. problem is none of them are showing up on the watch. well one did tonite, but thats been it. i was running skyvi so messages would show up on phone screen, and the g watch messages worked then, only problem was that on the watch when the messages showed up thru skyvi on the watch, when it said "tap here to reply" nothing would happen. so i deleted skyvi and like i said now i get nothing. i reset the watch, re-paired it. and nothing worked. any ideas? also anyone else finding the g watch is a tremendous drain on the phone battery. i barely use it during the day and by 1 or 2 i'm down to 55% power on the phone.
Make sure to set notifications in Hangouts to vibrate.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2

Shouldn't need to...I don't have mine set to vibrate and I get all my Hangouts notifications
I have also noticed a large drain on my phone battery, much more than with my Pebble. But there is nothing abnormal in the battery stats, at all. No strange wakelocks, nothing.
HELP! hangouts sms problems

i have the factory version of hangouts on my htc one m7 if i send a text to myself. i get it on the phone, but nothing on the watch. if i switch text apps to something like textra and turn on augmented smartwatch pro, the texts come thru on the watch, but with the little icon of augmented smartwatch pro. BUT i cant voice reply to any sms since i am not using hangouts. any ideas how to fix hangouts so the texts come thru on the watch? ive called LG and no luck. and htc just tells me i cant delete hangouts from the phone, if i try, it always replaces it with the factory version.

Are you updating Hangouts to the most recent version? I wouldn't expect the factory version to do anything... Wear didn't exist back then. Also, when you're sending yourself a text... Be sure you either turn off the phone display or exit out of Hangouts before the text is received. Otherwise the watch won't alert you to something that's right in front of your face anyway.

thanks to someone here who mentioned GoSMS. its configured for android wear and lets you send voice replies like google hangouts. so that solved the problem. who needs hangouts anyway
So I like a lot of the roms out there that I've tried. But my biggest thing on most is Verizon's stupid VoiceMail app... Most of them don't have it installed and the copy of the app I have found usually doesn't work or crashes non-stop after I install it from TWRP.
I know there's YouMail (I think that's what it's called.) but I wasn't a big fan.
Is there either a way to stop getting the garbled text message when not using the verizon app or what?
I've noticed that if I don't use a rom with the Voicemail app I either don't get Voicemails or I get the garbled text message and it still doesnt' really work correctly.
I get my voicemail thru Google voice, but I also use the vzw messages+ app so no garbled texts. Well other then some rather humorous renderings of a computer program having problems figuring out some Oklahoma and Texas accents.

I went to my verizon account and disabled visual voicemail, so I get the old school standard voicemail notification now.
Google Voice on every device I've used for the past few years

Yep you should be able to install the My Verizon app from play store. If not use http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and sideload it.
Youmail sucks because of their horrible contact sync. It messes everything up. However someone made a different app for the service called Better Youmail and it is phenomenal!
I ended up contacting verizon on there twitter support page and they disabled basic visual voicemail and I've been back to using just the old one since.

Jasmine ROM and Visual Voice Mail.
Flawless.
If anyone is on an AOSP ROM and getting funky SMS messages instead of voicemail notifications:
Condition:
You are running without Verizon VVM "Messaging" app installed.
Symptoms:
When someone leaves a voicemail, you get a SMS message with a bunch of header info. The message starts with //VVMMMS... and usually includes the caller's number somewhere in the string.
You do not get a standard notification of a voicemail (no envelope in the notifications and/or status bar.
Information:
It is likely that your account is setup for Basic Visual Voicemail. The messages that you are receiving are push control messages that stock-installed Verizon apps would pick up and use to generate their own notifications. Since VVM is not installed, they come across as regular SMS messages.
Verizon has 3 different voicemail offerings at present: Voicemail, Basic Visual Voicemail, and Premium Visual Voicemail; the latter is usually a paid service. Based on which is included with your account/line, they determine how the notification should be sent; the app is a key component in the proprietary service.
Solution:
You may contact Verizon at their support 800 number and go through the prompts to get technical support. When you get there, ask them to change your voicemail setting to "IMS Voicemail" instead of "IMS Visual Voicemail Basic." This should allow you to get the standard notification and call *86 when you tap it. Keep in mind that this is something done on the carrier's side, so if you decide to install VVM or use a stock ROM that includes it, the functionality will not be there. If the paid service was included as part of your contract, you may have some difficulty in getting them to change the setting back to "IMS VVM Basic" without an additional fee.
If you install hangouts, you can configure your voicemail to go to the hangouts app. Not only will it transcribe it so you can read it, you can play it right from a thread like an sms message.
It's very neat.
I use Google Voice and have been for a few years. I like the fact they transcribe the voicemail for you. Also, anytime someone leaves a voicemail or I get a missed call, i get an email on my gmail account. The missed call emails are a life saver especially when the phone never rings to notify you of a missed call to start with which has happened to me a couple of times. You can also text and make phone calls from the Google Voice app as well.

It wasn't horrible, I just didn't like having an app like that. I know everything we do even on our phones is being watched/stored somewhere by someone most likely.
But I just didn't like having yet another party having access to my things. It worked, setting up the voicemail message with a slight pain for a bit till I got it working right.
The notifications worked, people didn't have issues leaving me messages etc. It worked is the main thing. I just personally didn't care for it.
Now that I'm back to using plain voicemail without the visual VM etc I'm happy with that.
