So, I did the GPS fix on June 21st with the ##code# and the msl code. After that, my parents said they sent a text, but I haven't gotten it. Most people use my google voice number, but a few have the old sprint number.
Anyway, I can send a text. I just don't receive a text message. I booted in a march cm6 backup and couldn't get text messsages that way either. Could send, just not receive. I can make and receive calls, and voicemails go to my google voice number.
I have a stock sense backup from december that I can boot into, but am getting tired of rebooting.
Any suggestions. Open for just about anything.
I decided to do a 786 reset, and it cannot update my profile. I am hoping that is because i have a triangle above my wireless signal. Kinda out in bfe as of right now.
My messages will randomly go to google voice instead of messages. That could be a problem as well.

I had this problem yesterday after a fresh flash of CM7.1, and stumbled upon the answer. I wasn't receiving text messages in Messaging OR Handcent SMS - and I have my sprint number ported over to Google Voice. I went over to the Voice app and went to Settings>Sync and Notifications and made sure that Text Message Notification was selected. When I did, the SMS messages going to GV went to my messaging apps too.
Conversely, you could just use GV as your messaging app...

This works like a charm. I am going to post this link in a couple of other places where people are running down CM. Double Thanks!

The problem I've been having seems to have been asked a lot of times in several forums, but rarely answered directly. It had nothing to do with Google Voice, the ROM (I use SRF 1.2). I had to look through so many of these before FINALLY finding the very easy answer so I thought I'd post it here in case it helps someone else.
The issue is that I started receiving a weird text message from Sprint indicating, "...has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen...". I wasn't receiving any voicemail notification, though, and voicemails weren't showing up in Visual Voicemail. When I finally called into voicemail, I realized I had several waiting for me -- ones I never realized I had because there was no notification!
What it turns out is that this problem is apparently almost always caused by changing the SMS application. In my case, I had installed Handcent. To fix this in Handcent, just go to menu->settings->Application Settings->Default Messaging application, and select "Disable". (In my case it was set to SMS.)
After I made that change, all of a sudden I started receiving notifications, all of my older messages finally appeared in Visual Voicemail, and I stopped receiving those strange Sprint texts.
If you use GO SMS, I understand there is a similar way to disable setting the GO SMS as default as well.

Yeah, I'm using GoSMS Pro for text messages and was getting the exact same thing with the same 408 number. I backed up my texts and settings and un-installed GoSMS, rebooted the phone, but still had to "call in" to voicemail (old school voicemail, not visual) but I think from here on out, I should get visual voicemail normally again. We'll see.
Thanks for posting!
I have a weird problem going on which just started. When I receive SMS messages they are showing up as google voice voicemails. This is a new behavior I have had SMS working fine on my phone before. But now, this is happening. They do not even register with android as SMSs. You can't view them in Handcent or even the stock SMS app. They show on my notification bar with the little google voice icon like a voicemail. It's making SMS service nearly unusable, help!

This is probably an error with google voice, i recommend uninstalling it to see if that fixes it, if not try using the "gingerbread ghostly sms" app to recover your texts and move them to handcent.

I uninstalled Google Voice and it didn't work at all then. I literally just didn't get SMSs. So I had to put it back on at which point I could see the ones I'd missed while it was uninstalled. Never could see them on Handcent though. I can send from stock or handcent, but I cannot see the replies. It's as though gVoice is ganking my texts before they get to my phone! Help!

Found this online after a ton of searching, it worked! So if any of you have or in the future have this come up, it's a setting in google voice online, and this is the fix:
Any SMS sent to a GV number shows up in the GV app and GV website. There is no means for blocking this.
You could, however, just ignore the app and website, and use the standard messaging app with this setting:
GV website | Settings | Voice settings | Phones | (your mobile number) | Edit | Receive text messages on this phone | SELECT and SAVE
With that, SMS sent to GV number will go to BOTH the GV app and the standard messaging app on your phone.

I literally just got the phone yesterday, and have been setting it up. However, I have a weird issue with the phone.
I have been getting:
//Android: Provisioning successful CFv320c.0=07cyssw33WNC//CM
From reading around it seems to be a text message for Visual Voicemail application. I have opened up Visual Voicemail and opened up all of the voicemail files. I use Google Voice, so these texts are useless for one, but I don't even want to receive them. I can't select a different Voicemail option in the "call" settings menu, otherwise I would have changed it.
Second, I keep getting the same text message from people. I have received 7 instances of the same text message, and I know that they aren't sending the same message because it has happened for four people, and for the message contents listed above for the visual voicemail.
This is not a rooted phone, I will probably end up rooting it, but not just yet, so is there any way to get around these messages and text issues?

Did you have google voice?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes, I have used Google Voice on my previous phone (HTC Hero) as well. Google Voice is also setup on the Epic 4G Touch, using the *28 code.
Bump, I am aware that it is a networking issue, but I want to rule out some things first.
I have an "airave" at my house, and I am wondering (because the airave is on a different floor) if the phone is swapping between the tower and the mini-sip tower, making me receive multiple text messages?
I've been using Google Voice for over a year now, and YouMail before that on my Palm Pre 2, so I haven't used Verizon's voicemail in a long time.
My issue is, every time that I get a text, I also get new voicemail notifications for voicemail that I have already listened to. Sometimes I will get "10 unread voicemail" notifications, most of the time it's one or two unread VM's, it is very annoying.
I've reinstalled the app, cleared data, and I've marked all VM's in Google Voice unread and then read - nothing works
Any other ideas?
I think there is a setting you can change so it does/doesnt notify you via sms/email when you get a vm.
You need to change this on a computer, not the app.

Yes that option does exist, but I am not getting text/email alerts of voicemail. I'm constantly getting voicemail notifications, which I want, just not the same ones over and over
Am I the only one with issues?

I have the same issue on my Nexus 4, 4.2.2. It is very annoying and the fact that this obvious bug has not been dealt with does make me wonder if Google Voice is going the way of Google Reader.... No devs. Maybe Babble will solve it... The only alternative I have found is turning off the integration and sending a text for the voicemail to the phone. Pretty kludgy.
Ugh, hoping for complete Babble overhaul as well. The entire app is a mess really

Oh okay, your first post threw me off because it says you got a text every time.

I agree with this. My problems were different than yours. I didn't get notifications on a regular basis. Then I'd get 10 notifications for messages I never received. Sometimes a phone reboot would send messages to me, but not always. My gmail account had the notifications but they weren't pushed to the app.
I got tired of it, and went back to sprint VM. I wish sprint visual voicemail was an option on this phone. - Note, I am NOT rooted, and use this for business and cannot root (company policy).
I just found this thread when I went searching for solutions to this same issue. Did anyone figure out a solution or a workaround?
I'm also experiencing the same issue.
Me too. Two different phones now. 2013 moto X and droid turbo 64 gig. A lot of times for me it does not seem to be triggered by the reception of a text message. It will just happen. It also seems like it's just related to a few messages in my voicemail. This morning, I got a notification from a voicemail from August 5th that I listen to that day and have been notified maybe 3 or 4 times since that it existed. I'm about ready for the kludgy workaround mentioned earlier to turn off notifications on my phone and turn on text message notifications for it. Also hoping that this post will spark some new interest in fixing this problem or even better remind someone to post a solution that they found.
google voice app settings
I have had the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3 ever since I started using a Google Voice number. I get my google voice voicemails in Hangouts, so there should be no reason for me to receive a voicemail notification for them. I was just looking through the Sync And Notications section of the Settings inside the Google Voice app, and I found that I can uncheck the voicemail notications. Hopefully this will not affect my receiving notifications for my regular phone number (the one attached to the phone), or receiving hangouts messages with the Google Voice number voicemails.
Ever since I have had this LG G3, it seems for no reason at all, at times, it will sit there and spin saying "sending" when I send a text. Happens sometimes when sending email as well using LG's built-in email. Tried rebooting, turning on or off wifi, have a good LTE connection at the time, but no dice. Just sits and spins saying sending. And usually eventually fails sending. Other times it sends immediately. I never know if I hit send if the SMS is going to be sent or not. It's quite frustrating. My wife and I are on the same provider (Rogers) and when this happens with my phone, I grab her Note 4, try sending out a text and boom, instantly sent.
I'm running stock 5.0.1. Two mods, CTT and Trickster. I have checked APN's and they are identical to my wife's Note 4.
Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to make the SMS and email sending more reliable?
Another strange thing. The stock messaging app doesn't show any messages. I have deleted them all. I installed Textra to see if sending messages was any better and there are about 10 voice mail message texts sitting in there. These are the notification I get when I get a voice mail. I had called Rogers before and asked if I could turn these redundant text messages off and they said I didn't have that option set on my account?? Not sure where they are coming from then. I do get the voice mail icon notification as well when I get a voice mail.
I deleted all of the messages, closed Textra and reopened, only to find all the texts had returned. WTF? I deleted them again, same thing. Tried cleaning cache and data for both the stock messaging app as well as Textra, same problem. Perhaps these messages are interfering some how with sending/receiving texts? I changed my phone number on this phone recently as I was getting a bunch of non-wanted calls and thus all these voice mails. Could these be left over from the previous number? Not sure why I can't delete them permanently. Man, what a pain.
