Here ya go I've personally done this tutorial and it does work! Plus sprint reps are aware of the issue so they will understand. Goodluck
P.S. I know it seems like alot of work but it's worth it! If you dont take care of it, it will never go away.

thanks bro, i'll check it out now. work or not its worth it those notifications bug!!

It'll work but it took me about 45 mins over the phone with them. Hopefully it'll be quicker for you. Enjoy your phantom notification free phone!

I havent done it yet, no older non android phone, plus i went back to warm rls5, warm Z was a little laggy on my phone, and i dont get the vm not. on rls5 but when i themed it (rls5) with one of riptides themes it had the vm notifications, weird huh?

I use warm rls5, good stuff! Maybe if you goto a corporate store they could help you do the swap to a temp phone or something. Worth a shot. Yes thats strange it appears when you theme it but as said earlier only way to get rid of it is follow the steps. Or until someone figures out a better way.

Slide to answer stopped working

Hi there,
I hope someone can help me.
It's only dawned on me today that Slide to answer/decline has stopped working on my HTC Desire. It's crazy because it's been this way for so long that I forgot that the phone even does this.
I think it might be something I've installed that has caused this. I installed a replacement keyboard that added the speech-to-text functionality and then more recently I installed Swype Beta.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to turn it back on?
Or do I just start uninstalling my keyboard mods?
Thanks in advance,
B
Hi beautiful people
Just a little FYI: I dumped the HTC_IME mod and my slide to answer miraculously returned.
I hope this will stop me declining calls in my pocket.
Next challenge for me - stop making calls in my pocket. Never did it once with 2 years of 2 iPhones. I hope the official FroYo update helps towards that!
i just tried to find a way to disable that feature because i just rejected 2 calls... when i slide my phone out it slides the thing up and declines the call -_-
i could put the phone screen facing out but thats just scary for me.
See this is why i invested in a case

Voicemail Notification

Hi guys,
I'm not really new here but this is my first post. I've been reading xda forums for days now and it's nothing but good info and helpful tips. Just wanted to thank you guys for all your hard work. With that said, my phone just stopped notifying me that I have a voicemail completely. I checked my voicemail box today because my friend told me he left me a message about something. I had 8 new voicemails that I didn't check. I'm running Auto task killer so it kills all apps I've checked when I turn off the screen. Do I need to uncheck something from there for me to get voicemail notifications??? I'm not new to Android but when it comes to knowing what I'm exactly killing, I'm lost. There are bunch of apps running like com.htc.....and etc and I don't know what they are. So if you guys could please give me some help to get my voicemail notification to work I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

You can try to update your profile under system updates then reboot your phone.
i will give that a try. thank you very much for your super quick response.
Still nothing. I'm confused.

Rather than start a new thread...
Just today, I started getting a notification that a voicemail was pending, then that it couldn't be downloaded. I dialed into my voicemail, retrieved the vm and then... the darn notification won't go away.
I went into Settings and tried removing it. Didn't help.
I rebooted the phone. Didn't help.
I called the VM number, made sure there were no messages there. Same thing.
Any ideas?
Using the OTA2.2 and I have installed the OTA VM upgrade/update.
Open your voicemail, - press the menu button - settings - notifications - see if the check mark is on, select a ringtone. Back out completely, reboot your phone.

Should the check mark be in the Notifications box or not?
Should I try selecting a different ringtone??
I unselected the check that was there and rebooted; still have the notification. That seems really crazy to me.
Try leaving yourself a new VM and then check it...

I've actually had two new voicemails since then- they showed up. When I listened to them, it disappeared and then reappeared a minute later.
On the phone w/Sprint right now.

Having the same problem, did you get it fixed and if so please tell me how.
UPDATE: Found the fix in case anyone else has this problem
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean

After about 1/2hr on the phone with Sprint, that was the exact same fix they came up with.
Actually a nice discovery, as that directory has a lot of nice options.
holy bumpination.
instead of hitting clear data you can force stop and reboot and that should fix it.
(force stopping and then clicking on the visual voicemal icon should be ok too)
Waterboy is right! it's much easier and you don't lose your voicemails!

Myn's Warm Z

I have been running Myn's RLS5 until his Warm Z release and must say this is where its at.... I have customized the battery and signal icons shown in screenshot...
Hey the Rom is very nice but Wat kernel is u running cuz my Damn battery is thrash I need help on a battery kwrnwl.
The signal icon is sick! How'd you do it?
I am running "SBC-bcnice-stable-v8.zip" kernel and get great battery life. I used this same kernel when I was on Myn's RLS5...
I replaced the icons found in "com.htc.resources.apk & framework-res.apk"...
voicemail
is anyone having a issue with the voicemail notification appearing even when you have no pending voicemails? I have tried the fix found in the rom forum however i'm still receiving the notification
Did you try to reboot the phone after the fix?
Yes, i have tried rebooting and even going through the fix again and still receive the voicemail notification.
Never having been on warm z, but from basic knowledge and experience, backing up, and re-flashing the rom could fix the problem.
I was thinking the same so that is what I did.. I even went as far and to re-flash the rom and applying the fix and i get the same results.. not sure what is going on except for the fix is not playing nice..
What is the "fix" for this issue in the rom? If all else fails, try using google voice for voicemail. No problems for me on CM7, and I say that cuz google voice solves a lot of issues with voicemail.
here is the link that was posted "http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?t...sual_Voicemail" which is was i have done a couple of times.. I have tried google voice and still receive the voicemail notification.. not sure what else to try..
Still looking through it, but that page seems not to be for the Evo...
I'm kind of new at this, but do know enough to screw things up pretty bad. The way that your signal icon is exactly what I'm looking for with my configuration, did you change out the 'apk' with a different one?

Facebook notifications?

OK for the first time since I had this phone which is almost a year I installed sprint lovers which I usually use onto my replacement phone and actually got notifications like wall posts and pictures to pop up in my notification panel on my phone and they would be instantly pushed as soon as they happened. Usually the only notification that did show up in my notofication panel were messages events and friend requests but never actual notifications like wall posts and tags from facebook and I'd get them at the refresh intervals set on facebook app. Well I installed cm7 and it wont do that anymore I can't get the instantly pushed notifications. I know there is away somehow since I finally managed to get it on sprint lovers but I have no clue how I did it. So any help

Open Facebook app, hit menu, then setting, then notification. Change the sound from silent and put check marks in some boxes

thats not going to do it. the boxes are for messages friends and events. None for wall posts photos tags ACTUAL notifications. and adding a sound doesnt make them pop up in my notification panel
Well push notifications finally started suddenly working for me on CM7. I can't tell you why it works now but for what it's worth I have refresh set to never, notifications active with notification ringtone set to silent. My contacts are also synced. If those settings don't work adjust your settings in your facebook account perhaps.
Guess it happend to you too what version are you running maybe it's the version that works

Try going menu>settings>apps and find Facebook. Click it and clear data/cache. Reboot your phone and see if that helps. It ussualy fixes things in a lot of apps for me. And if that doesn't work and your rooted go into rom manager and fix permissions. Reboot after that and hopefully it will work for you. Hope this helps

did you restore it from titanium or did you just re download it from the market. because i have noticed when switching between roms types (which for me is like every 3 days or less haha) such as sense to aosp or 2.2 to 2.3 etc some apps have some left over data from previous installations (if using titanium) and it messes with other roms. like when i switched from cm7 (aosp) to myn's warm twopointtwo (2.2 sense) 2 days ago about a good half of the apps i restored didn't work.
nope i always download it from the market
Flow is good for push notifications, you have to set it up through your email account. I've never had the stock Facebook app work right. If I actually used Facebook more than once a month I might care.
I think the name of Flow just changed to Friend Caster or something, if you're interested in looking it up.

Somehow it pushes notifications again didn't do anything. So maybe they finally worked out push notification because since day one of the evo release it didn't work and now this is the second time in 2 weeks it works

[Q] Notification tones stop daily

I read a little in a post with something similar, but daily I find my notification sounds (txt, gtalk, etc.) all just stop, said something about leaks, but it was late and I may have been dreaming :-?
So, I have tried numerous ROM's, currently running Venum Ice RC3.1.1, but had the same issue with other ICS rom's. I will look down and see a bunch of missed txt's, etc. Reboot the phone, all tone's come right back.
Is this a known issue (I am sure it is), but better question, is there a workaround for this?
Tnx
its a bug in the ics leaks.
known issue, no fix yet
I seem to remember problem arises after call if hit home or back lose notification. Need to let call screen revert to dialer then can hit home and not lose notifications. If you lose just make a call and do the above and will have notications again.

+1 this is currently the only known work around.
Iphone Notification, WP7 Notification apps from Play store used to fix this also. Not sure if either one still works or not though.
