[Q] Voicemail Notification Question

I hope this is ok to ask here.... Is there an app or feature that can make the phone light up or make a noise if I have a voice mail? I've looked and so far nada. I don't always just pick up my phone and am hoping I can find something to prompt me too.

There is also an app on the Market called Missed Call that I could never really get to work right. You can set it up to provide a notification for a missed call or SMS using sound and/or vibration at a preset frequency (every minute, etc.).
The one I have used is NoLED, also on the Market. It puts a lighted icon on your dark screen indicating that you have an SMS or a missed call. Not quite the same as a voicemail notification, but hey you can't have a voicemail unless you missed a call.
EDIT: NoLED now includes a voicemail notification icon. Not sure if i just missed it or if it's a new feature; the app just updated recently.

Notifications?

I use my phone for Calendar and meeting events, etc
I had a Palm years ago and a Nokia communicator that would Notify of an evet or Voicemail and keep chiming until acknowledged.
How do I get something like this on the Note? If I am not next to the phone and hear the whistle or check it, I don't know if anything triggered?

Noled will show a fake notification light which works well for me. It also has a vibrate every x minutes function that I'm not sure is working for me. I tried vibrate notify but I had problems.
It might be conflicting with smart vibrator. Not sure.
Still looking for a working vibrate reminder.

I too use my android devices for events, tasks, project planning and such and it is so much better than the Palm was or will ever be!
As for the app I recommend using: pocket informant. It works great with toodledo and google calendar (and also gtasks, but I don't use that).
*see below for answer @ question.

You might want to use: Missed message flasher free. It has the option to light up the screen, use the notification lights and vibrate with:
- calendar, email, gmail, go sms pro, g+, gtalk, gvoice, k9mail, missed calls, skype, sms & mms, whatsapp and if the phone is set into silent mode, you can also choose to disable the vibrate option. Also in the donate version you can choose the option 'other apps'.
I use it with pocket informant and maildroid (free version) and it works absolutely great!

Interesting stuff here. How about missed calls or VM's?

Its fine. The nature of amoled is that only the lit portion of the screen drains battery. It's pretty minimal. Give it a try.

Missed call are supported but I don't know what VM's are. If it's a messaging type of thing that is than also support I guess.
I think the program just uses the notification bar as a source to act because pocket informant isn't in the list and it does still reacts when a reminder is sent to me via the program itself.

Notifications repeating reminder

Ive had my HTC one for a week or so now and am loving it, there is one thing that this phone cant seem to do and that is repeat a missed call, sms or third party (such as whatsapp) notification. My previous device, a GS2 could do this with apps such a NoLed, Reminder Pro, light flow.
I know we have the notification LED but it is no help when the phone is in your pocket or in another room, what I like is a reminder tone and a buzz set to repeat every 5 minutes or so.
So ive tried many apps whos purpose is to do this and none of them seem to work, Light flow is the most succesful so far but it has a flaw in that it will set the led flashing green continuosly untill you reboot the phone (thats with led disabled within lightflow as it is not suported on HTCs without root)
Reminder Pro just does not do anything, In NoLed the sound and vibrate do not work but the screen flash does.
I have tried a couple of others such as Missed Call Reminder , Missed call/sms alert and Easy Reminder, none of which work with the HTC one
So my question here is has anyone descovered an app that works to give a repeat vibrate and tone for missed notifications of calls sms etc.

Junior, I use your Smart Notify. It's very good but it doesn't notify Whatsapp messeges.

Hi, you must select in Settings/Popup window, then Other applications, enable Accessibility (first item), and then check item WhatsApp

Notification Issues (MLB At Bat & CNN)

Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

Notifications (or alarm) sounds fail (culprit: YouMail app)

I've been having problems with my notification (and alarm) sounds not coming through. I've got the latest t-mobile stock ROM. Somehow i stumbled across the potential problem. I just found the culprit today, so i don't have a work around yet, but hoping that others will find one. Or I'll post if i get a resolution.
I was missing texts because the phone would not utter a noise when i got one. I checked the volumes and they were all up. Reboots usually fixed it. Somehow (i forget why) I started suspecting my Youmail app. I uninstalled and rebooted. I'm good. then installed it again. still good. I listened to a VM on Youmail app. Then checked notifications and they didn't work. To test, I'd open SMS app (stock) and try to change the notification sound. It would fail (silent) as i tried to preview sounds. But opening the files in the music app or ES explorer would allow them to play.
Reboot would fix the problem. But as soon as i listened to a VM on YouMail app, the notifications would not play in the selection screen for text messages (or in the event of an incoming text). Volumes were still all up.
My current work around is this: after listening to a VM, I bring up the task switcher (double tap home) and swipe away YouMail (effectively terminating the app). That works if you remember to do it. I've sent YouMail a detailed explanation through their online help service. I will update here if i get a response or find closure on this issue.
