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.
Hey guys, so I've been trying to resolve this issue that I've been having with my SGS3 today. Whenever I receive a text message it comes to the device and I can read it fine. The only problem is; is that I don't receive any notifications and they're always set to read, so I can't even see them through my DashClock extension. This is kind of a big deal, because I happen to text a lot with friends, and family, and they get kind of pissed when i reply an hour later once I finally open up the Messaging app and see I got a message.
Thanks!
UPDATE ------ This was being cause by the AT&T Messages app. It was installed on the device but not set up and it was blocking Notifications from other SMS applications (Ex. FB Messenger or Stock Messages)
Hello! On SW 2 you could read text messages you got earlier, and see your list of calls. On SW 3 I only get to read a sms the moment I get it. Am I doing something wrong, or isnt it possible to read previous texts, and check calls, see pictures and so on?
The sw2 and sw3 are running different OS's so you shouldn't expect the same features. Sw3 is an Android wear device manufactured by Sony.
to reply to your question, using hangouts there is no way to read older sms messages. let's hope this will change in the future, considering we have text input methods already out there...
Use google messenger. When you get a text you can swipe left and see your whole convo
Thanx
Thanx for the answers folks! I was afraid I wasnt wrong, that you cant read old messages. I am in fact pretty dissapointed about SW3 vs SW2.. Lets just they make it possible in the future.
Wear messenger works pretty well in doing this. You can go back and read messages even if you haven't received a text. Plus you can send texts via keyboard input. Works great for work when I can't have my phone out, but can still respond briefly to people.
We have two moto 360s. On one of them it seems to be impossible to actually read received text messages if you receive more than one text from the same person.
Instead of displaying the text of the messages, the notification on the watch will just say the sender's name and "2 text messages received" with no apparent way to view the messages. If you catch the notification when only one text has been received, you can read the single text just fine.
On the other moto 360, it just displays all of the received texts, and doesn't summarize them with a count. That is, you can just keep scrolling down and can read all of the texts in a big list.
The watch having the problem is running 5.01 android wear connected to a Note 4 with android 4.4.4.
The watch that lets you actually read the text messages is running 4.4W.2 android wear and is connected to a Note 3 with android 4.4.2.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this something that just works better on the older software? Not being able to actually read the text messages on the moto 360 breaks one of the major functions of the device!

If you use googles messenger (not messaging, its the new one made for lollipop but works on 4.4) then one of the tabs is a full conversation list.
If you need the app I can provide you with links and/or instructions

I use the native Samsung Messages text app that came with the Fold 3 (can't use Google Messages even if I wanted to because it doesn't show a bunch of past texts from my previous phone that I need access to). For the past week or two, a few contacts who also use RCS Chat texting have the blue/green dots on the Contacts list in the app, but not on the Conversation list, and it won't send Chat texts, only SMS/MMS, to them. But, their texts often come to me as Chat texts. This app has no way to toggle Chat on/off to reset it, but neither Airplane Mode nor restarting my phone (including after the T-mobile update with the eSIM/dual-SIM additions) fixed the problem.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it from my end? Or is it a Google server issue (it began with one of those times everyone's dot flashes off and then back on when you tap on them)? I know the person uses Google Messages because they don't have a Samsung phone (I think they have an LG). It is pretty important for one contact it isn’t working for to see if/when they read their texts. (Thankfully, for the other important one, theirs is working, and that's a Google Pixel phone.)
Anyone have an answer or also have this problem?
