[Q] Google Voice Notification Not Going Away

Howdy,
Before I upgraded to CyanogenMod 9.0, I would get a Google Voice message notification for a text message. I'd go into the web version of Google Voice, answer the text and then after a bit, the notification would go away on my phone.
Now switched to CM9 and the notification doesn't go away unless I answer the text on my phone or clear it out on the phone.
I've tried GummyNex and CM9 and they both do it.
Has anyone else seen this? I've done the thing where I've uninstalled GV, did the *73, deleted all the Verizon VMs and the reinstalled GV but it still does it.

Don't think its related to your ROM as I'm having the exact same issue on stock 4.0.4 and have always been on stock. Seems to have started a couple weeks ago....
Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's going on and was about to start a thread myself asking if anyone else had the issue. Thought I was just crazy at first, but I know for a fact this is not how the app acted before. I've tried changing all kinds of things for my browser use of voice.google.com, deleted/re-installed the app, and nothing works.
I'll be texting using just the browser for a bit and look at my phone and I'll have a notification for "25 Google Voice Messages" or whatever. They never clear. I notice that when opening the GV app to the thread I'm texting in, it hasn't synced in the background, and takes a few seconds for the messages I had sent to show up in the thread. It seems as though Google Voice isn't getting background sync anymore.

Aww man So it was just highly coincidental that it happened around the same time I switched over to a different rom.
It's surprisingly frustrating for such a little thing. I just use it so much that it forces me to check the phone and clear it manually to make sure I don't *actually* have a new message when I'm using both my phone and the web app.
Argh.
Yeah - nothing I've found has fixed the issue.

Yes I think it's actually a coincidence as I said I've been on stock and it all of a sudden stopped working as it was. This is just really weird because there's been no update to the app or anything.
It's extra frustrating because Google Voice is my primary #, so I'm doing about 99.9% of my texting with it, and really enjoy being able to use voice.google.com. Dealing with clearing GV notifications every time I pick my phone up is very lame.

I don't believe I'm experiencing this, gv on GSM nexus, stock 4.0.4 rooted. Straight talk tmo mvno

I don't currently have this with my yakju 4.0.4 OTA stock ROM, but I have seen it before on this phone and every other phone I've owned across stock & custom ROMs. Fairly confident it's a problem with the app itself

@crachel - are you on cdma or gsm?

What could it be though? I've done everything short of a factory reset. Nothing about the app itself or the settings I used changed and it started happening out of nowhere.

I don't know.. I agree though that the problem just comes and goes, which is odd. Just a couple weeks ago they weren't clearing for me, but right now it's working fine. I remember thinking that's it's ridiculous this happens on stock firmware

Even moreso ridiculous if this is a known issue and they haven't addressed it even with these several early 2012 updates to the GV app, which made it a lot better overall in UI and UX. I just don't see how it can come and go with no changes whatsoever to your settings.

Mine definitely does the same thing... I thought it used to clear them for me, but I wasn't sure, and figured I was just thinking of how Google Talk clears the messages.
Not a huge deal to me, but it would definitely be nice if they would fix this. Our best bet is to make a post on the help forums with a bunch of posts in it.

If anyone has a chance, they should make a post in the Google Voice forums here (I'll try to do it later when I have a chance if no-one else gets to it): http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/voice/using-google-voice-on-a-mobile-device. I heard that Google Engineers do monitor / read these sometimes, so if we all post in a thread there is a chance it will get read / fixed.
I really wish there was a better way to get stuff like this fixed.

Bit late to the party. Just wanted to chime in that in my experience I don't think I've ever seen the GV notification clear itself after checking the web interface on my computer.
I've been using android for a year now and have gone through 3 phones and the asus transformer tablet. My current phone is running a CM9 based rom, but still it doesn't clear these notifications.
Man, I'd love it if it did.
Note: I think that if you use the GV widget, you will see that the notification on the widget DOES clear after checking the web interface (or at least it did in GB because I just tested this on my current phone and widget doesn't clear it either). I suppose this means that GV is pushing the "read" status of an sms to our phones. The notification on the notification bar, however, still persists despite this.
EDIT: Given my last test on my current phone, it looks like the widget doesn't clear the notification like it used to on GB. It looks like it is, in fact, a syncing issue.

I can confirm that it actually did used to clear when viewed on another device, and this is the intended action. It should work exactly like an IMAP e-mail account (say, the GMail app). If you view a message on the device or in a web browser, it is cleared as read on the other. Google Voice used to do the same, and stopped doing so randomly. It's completely a backend problem.

Really wish they would fix this. Still happening on JB. Very annoying for those of us who text from the web all day.

SMS/MMS/Hangouts Issues

I switched to CM11 nightlies when it came out for galaxy nexus. Been having all kinds of issues with texting. First i tried hangouts and i couldnt get lightflow to work with it so i could get repeat notifications and stuff like that. Gave up on hangouts and switched to the normal messaging app. Probably should add that my voicemail and text messages are going through google voice account but i have google voice setup on phone only to sync the voicemails and let normal messaging app to deal with sms/mms. anyway, since switching to the normal messaging app i have been getting text messages multiple times. just had a few texts i originally received about 5 hours ago come through again in a quick burst right after i got a new message from somebody else. i have played with lots of the settings but nothing seems to fix this. the other day i got repeat messages come through the second time at about 3am which was annoying as hell. thinking about it some more it also did it once or twice when i was using hangouts. please help!?!?

i just looked online at my google voice account and im not getting them twice on there so its something on the phone doing it. going to uninstall lightflow and see if its causing the problem.

It could be a problem with CM11. I remember having the issue on CMetal when the message would come in twice using the stock messaging app. It was later fixed by the developer. So maybe its an issue Cyanogenmod has to fix. As far as Lightflow working with Hangouts. It works fine for me. You need to make sure you turn off the notification in the Hangouts app so you dont get the sound/vibrate twice.

thanks. so far so good with lightflow uninstalled- no double messages yet and have received some texts in last hour or so and none ofthem have repeated. problem with lightflow and hangouts i was having wasnt double notifications, it was i got only the default hangouts notification and nothing that was set in lightflow. ill keep playing with it i guess and keep updating CM and try again in a few days or week to see if it works better.
mind sharing your settings you had for lightflow- what settings for lightflow app and then what notifications you were using (all hangouts messages, sms, mms, etc). there is so many to choose from for hangouts in lightflow i wasnt sure what correct ones to use was and all the combinations i tried didnt seem to work. thanks.

The only thing I touched in light flow was the "hangouts-all notification types". I didn't use the MMS and SMS ones.

thanks. reinstalled lightflow, reselected hangouts as default sms app, and just did what you said above and it seems to be working. Before i had messed with lightflow settings and clearly one of those options screwed things up. no double messages yet either- ill keep my fingers crossed that either reinstalling or the latest CM update fixed that. thanks for your help- appreciate it!

thought everything was working but still getting messages coming through a second time. seems to be only the messages that i dont actually go in the app and mark as read. im going to make sure i clear those and see if it helps for now.

Great, report back.
One suggestion though, instead of going through all these trial and error attempts, you could just get a logcat and get it to lightflow dev/CM11 maintainer (or nightly thread), surely they will be able to help more/pinpoint the culprit.

thanks for the suggestion. ill try and figure out how to do that and get it to them.
i have still been messing with it and have had no luck. it is so $%#&ed up i am annoyed beyond belief. just a few minutes ago- got a notification of a photo of my niece my brother texted to me. preview of photo was visible in notification but when i click on it, nothing, messages just disappears. Not to mention im not just getting double messages anymore, i get up to quadruple messages sometimes. ive been close to just throwing my phone against the wall when suddenly every message i received in the last day come through again, 4 times each, and phone is trying to notify for each message- feels like its going to vibrate itself to pieces and the beeping over beeping over beeping is just crazy.
Doesnt matter if i have hangouts or the stock messaging app as the default sms/mms app. doesnt seem to matter what settings i use in any of them, because ive tried just about every combination. i'm eligible for a phone upgrade at the end of this month so i just have to make the phone bearable until then. im going to try the logcat thing but after i send that ill just go back to stock to see if that helps cuz im going to go crazy(ier) having to deal with this anymore. Grrrr!

sorry to keep posting on here to complain but just to add to the mystery. brother resent the text that disappeared when i clicked on it a few minutes ago. new one opened fine and the one that disappeared earlier suddenly showed up also.

[Q] LG G3 LED Gmail problem

Got phone yesterday, T-mobile G3 D851, so far have one major issue - LED notification doesn't work for Gmail. It works for Twitter, missed phone calls, text messages, but Gmail is dead, I have to wake up phone every time I want know if I have new mail. My previous phone is G2, still have it, no such problems. I searched G3 settings, left no stone unturned, nothing. Google search brings only one result from xda-devs where poster complains about same issue, but the thread is short, no one gives him a good advice, and it's not clear which G3 he has, EU, ATT, Tmobile or etc.
The lack of outcry on the web makes me think that it's just me and the phone has to be exchanged. If you can, please confirm my worst fears or tell me how to fix this.
Tnanks a bunch.

I'm having the same issue with gmail and handcent SMS. It doesn't even blink for missed calls. I have everything checked off too.

Relatively same issue here... My Gmail has LED notification but is very slow pulse (maybe 12 seconds in between, so what's the use), Twitter is hit and miss. Sometime get the LED, sometimes I don't. When I do there's about a 3 second pulse. Same thing with SMS. Thinking of taking it back and swapping it out.

HTC U12+ Known Issues

Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!​
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages.​.....................................
Anyone else having any other issues?

That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

MMS works fine on my European un-locked (and rooted) U12+. Got one as late as yesterday... Using stock SMS app.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?

Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.

Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!

Soooo Got MMS to work on the default app and with Verizon Message +.... Android messages still does not work and that is something many others have said as well....
Very sad.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.

Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters

Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.
