Voicemail notification?

Hey,
I get quite a few voicemails every day & I had the same trouble with my HD2... that I have to call the voicemail number (901) in order to find out if any have been left for me...
This is the one (and only) thing I really miss from my iphone... it would just display notifications like sms/email to let you know you had a voicemail, who it was from and you could play it/delete it straight from the screen.
The only thing I'm interested in is notification - am happy to manage from calling 901... but would really like something to let me know
Any app for this?
EDIT: Note... I don't mean these visual voicemail things I've seen on the app store where you have to re-direct to another server and they convert it to text for you... cheers

Try Hullomail. It's free. When you get a missed call, you get an email and a notification from the app. Also will email you your voicemail or you can do it through the apps UI. It's great

Just downloaded this & very much like the look of it but I'm on Virgin UK, the settings don't include this o I tried T Mobile but just keep getting an invalid mmi message. Any advice? Cheers...

But...when you say you could see it on the screen and play/delete it right from there, that is EXACTLY what you're asking for. The conversion to text is a secondary feature to services like Ribbit.

Should have ellabourated more... it's the idea of my voicemails going to a random 3rd party i don't like the idea of
Their main "selling" point seems to be these (pointless as far as i can tell) voice->text conversions :S

Constant Google Voice voicemail notifications

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.
voice.google.com

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.

[Q] Strange Texting Problem with ZenWatch

Wow, I must be the first one with a Zen Watch problem... or at least the first one with a Zen Watch... lucky me. Also, first time poster, so I hope I'm doing this right!
The issue I have occurs when I try to send a text message from my watch. When I do, I use voice to select a recipient as I would with Android Wear on any other device. While it looks like the message is sent from my phone (i.e it shows up in my message history with the selected recipient), the person never actually receives it. When I click on "Message Info" in the conversation history, it looks like the watch is adding "01" to the beginning of the phone number. The only thing I can think of is that this additional "Country Code" is screwing up the text.
I'm using a brand new S5, and it occurs in the stock messaging app, the Verizon messaging app, and Google Hang Outs. Any one have any ideas?

I tried a couple of times and it worked for me. Sprint HTC One Max Stock. Stock messaging app. Not using hangouts. That probably doesn't help much but at least lets you know it 'can' work.
I think your theories about country codes, etc may be right, but I would think you'd have the same issue if you do it via 'Ok Google' from the phone itself?

Hey Faxman,
Thanks for the response! Actually, you're right. I just tried it, and the same thing occurs if I try to send a voice text directly through Google Now on my phone. The message shows up in my conversation history, and looks like a normal text from my end. But it is never received at the destination. I still think that my country code analysis is the root of the issue, but I have no idea how to change it without attempting a 3rd party message app. I don't have a problem doing that inherently, but I would rather fix the problem then bandaid it
Any ideas from the massess would be awesome!

Stock text messaging app bug found

For the past week I have had issues trying to send my sister a text message. It has come to my attention that when I sent her a text message it for some reason gets sent to my nephew who participated in a separate text message that consisted of more than one party; In other words a group text message.
I have found LG Mobile on Facebook and informed them of this:
I solved the issue with the text messaging application bug. It is a bug in fact.
When the LG G5 has multiple group text messages with individuals, who you also try to have an individual text message conversation with, the phone will default a newly-created non-group message back to a/or one of the many group text messages that already exists with the person or other persons you're trying or NOT trying to communicate with individually.. I had to delete all group messages with the other party and then the phone stopped sending individual messages to a group message that they previously belonged to. This needs to be reported to your LG or Google development team as soon as possible. I am quite sure other people will have the same issue.

Interesting. I dont send alot of group messages from the G5. I will keep my eye on this.
BTW, while you have them fixing that...tell them to re-add the ability to have individual themes in our stock message app. I like having different backgorunds per contact

Any update on this ?

HAs anyone had the issue where contact names don't show in messaging, only numbers? I've had the phone almost 2 weeks and it's happened several times.

I had this issue and once I opened the contact t from the messaging app they all popped back in. But yes I know exactly what you are saying.

Nope. Mine still crashes now and then. Especially after using the voice to text feature.

Who knows maybe I have a bad LG keyboard system app. I'm going to root my phone soon and consequently have to reflash an entire rooted ROM so hopefully the new rooted ROM will have a better version will see.

UPDATE
My wife and I both updated our G5s to ROM v10d and so far the keyboard crashing has disappeared.

Pixel XL Group Message/MMS issues

Day 2 of life with Pixel XL, and so far im honestly loving it. Coming from an S7 Edge (which shouldnt feel like a huge jump) definitely feels like a huge jump. Anywho, im having issues receiving group texts from what i suspect samsung phones (1 of the persons i cant receive from 100% has a samsung) I can text and send pics back and forth with that person sms no problem, but when we get in our group text and start responding it comes to me in his personal text thread as "Couldn't Download Tap to Download" i KNOW ive had this issue before with nexus phones, i wanna say my 6P did this and i switched to hangouts (back then) and it fixed it, however now switching to hangouts makes a mess out of my text messages ( i guess they seperated the two apps completely). Im on AT&T if that makes a difference, google store purchased.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any ideas?

APN advice above may do it, I also hear there is something with hangout integration for MMS/SMS, maybe something is wrong there, try turning the integration off? but I also have no idea what I am talking about since I don't have the phone yet.

AT&T Nextgen is the APN you want. I run into this from time to time on my Nexus 6P on AT&T. It can be the size of the message (number of photos or too high of a resolution) someone is trying to send you or the source. I had a problem a few weeks ago with a video clip from Facebook (which I don't have), it would not "download."

I've had the same problem. It seems to only happen coming from my wife's Note 5 on ATT. I also had the same problem on my Moto X Pure. Can't say for sure if I remember having the problem using Hangouts, but definitely do using Google Messenger. I'm like you, I believe it may just be a Samsung problem because I can't remember it ever happening with anyone else I know.

I had the same issue with a group text with two other people. Once of them is using an S7 (I am on ATT and that friend is on ATT as well) and i could not receive any of his messages with the same "touch to download" error.
It seems to have fixed itself yesterday somehow and his messages started to come in.

Glad I'm not the only one. I came from an s7 edge. Can't get certain mms from my work group message, some have iPhone some have Android. ATT doesn't have a clue, google doesn't have a clue, I don't have a clue.....really no one has a clue. I did a hard reset, deleted the other APNs, put my sim card in my old phone and back in, tried a new sim card, 3 different SMS apps. It's almost as frustrating as Google's 100 pointless SMS apps but not quite that bad.

Yeah i randomly have them come in and then randomly stop working. It's frustrating definitely. Hopefully someone smarter than me comes around and tells us what's going on and how to correct?

And it just stopped working again. I noticed this is only happening when I'm using the Pixel and the other person is using a Samsung S7, on AT&T, in a group chat and is sending regular text (i.e. not an image). If that person sends an image to the group, I get it on my end. If that person is sending me a direct text message or a direct image, I can get. This only happens when he sends a text to the group.
I have another group where one of the users is using an S7 but not on AT&T and I can get his messages in the group text.
If I put my SIM in another android phone, everything is working even in the group text. This has to something to do with either the S7 on AT&T or the Pixel.
Very odd.

Interesting. Pixel 5 on at&t and I have issues with txting as well. Sometimes they just stop altogether until one triggers my txt some how and I get a few in a row. I was using chomp but I don't think that's the issue. My moto x pure on at&f was fine. Must be something with the pixel on at&t. Group MMS also takes a while to get to me. Sometimes I get them an hour after the fact. Same three ppl on my moto x pure last year with no issues.

Anyone figure anything out? Was hoping the new messenger update would have solved it but nope. Still doing it

Solution: This seems to be happening when both sides are using the same carrier and one side has a stock android and the other has a carrier branded Samsung phone with "advanced messaging" enabled and all parties are in a group chat.
Ask the Samsung user to disable the advanced messaging feature under: Messages > MORE > Settings > Advanced Messaging and you should be able to receive group text messages from this person on your pixel.
Seems like something half baked with the carrier or Samsung advanced messaging setup.
I just tested this with my friend and it started to work.

That sounds like it probably would work. I'm sure that turns off the Samsung read receipts and showing when other person typing etc.. On Samsung end. Seriously annoying though lol hopefully they will fix this soon

How did you delete the apns? I am trying everything with no luck. Not sure how. (Pixel 5 user)
My friend has galaxy s6 and in group texts I can not see what she puts. Only a tap to download.

Turns out deleting the APN doesn't fix it. I think it has something to do with the advanced messaging that the Samsung phones use. Ask your friend to turn off advanced messaging and see if that helps.

I'm also having the same issue. I have a pixel xl and my friend is using a Galaxy S7 . When we are in a group text together I do not get any of his messages (unless it is an image). I had him download Textra and this fixed the issue, but he doesn't like textra so we are back to square one. I'm going to have him try disabling the "Advanced Text Messaging" in his messaging app to see if this works. This is a very annoying issue.

I have precisely the same issue on my pixel xl. It's only from a Samsung user in a group mms, text only chat, no pics. But I don't know if I can ask my boss to disable his advanced setting which I see seems to be a solution . Grrr very frustrating.
