voicemail notification - Sprint HTC One (M7)

After upgrading from the Photon to the One, I have noticed that I do not get notification of pending voicemail in the top bar or in the notification area when I pull the shade down. As I have tried to be minimalist on home screens, I had originally removed the voicemail app from the homescreen. This has resulted in missing pending voicemail, as I was used to seeing a notification at the top aside from the shortcut/widget for voicemail. I cannot locate a way to enable this in voicemail settings. This is essentially the same voicemail app I used previously (bundled stock app from Sprint), so is this a change from Gingerbread or just the way HTC handles this app/notification?

trackball colors, stock unrooted att n1 w/ frf85b

hi folks...
sorry if its been asked and answered elswhere... i didnt see this elsewhere on the forum.
when i upgraded my stock att n1 to 2.2, the trackball began glowing various colors for certain notifications. i know that a rooted phone can have this feature set for specific color for notification, but on stock 2.2, i cant find a guide to what glows what color, or how (if able?) to change the color settings.
sometimes my trackball now glows green, and sometimes white.. no rhyme or reason. anyone here have a link, or info on how to associate the meanings of trackball colors?
thanks
look for blink in the market

This is a feature of FROYO. For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings. I know on my I have text messages set to one color, gvoice to another and email to yet another.

thanks for this info. looked at each of the programs you mentioned though, and it seems i dont have the same options that you mention above. can you be a bit more specific with how you access the setting?
ive entered the settings area of each program (gmail, voice, talk) and for gmail i have notification bar, ringtone, vibrate, and notify once. for voice, in addition to the gmail options (minus notify once), i have light option (but not color setting... just blink or not blink). for talk, i have notification bar, ringtone, and vibrate... thats it.
i did try the blink application posted above, but i dont use sms or mms (just voice), and i really dont need colors for incoming calls... just wanted distinct colors for voice, talk, and gmail.
thanks.
The key point is this:
"For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings".
The stock apps don't have settings to change the colour of the notification. Things like Handcent SMS/ChompSMS/SMS Popup provide notifications that have specified colours, which you can use (and disable the stock apps notifications).
In a similar way, GMail notifier can be used instead of the stock gmail app notification to allow you to customise the colour of your gmail notification.
ok. i get the point.
thanks for the responses.
You're not able to change the colour of the incoming call LED, as the colour can only be changed when the screen is off, and when a call comes in, the screen lights up.
Is it a new thing since froyo, that you only get a trackball illumination for notifications other than calls, when the screen is OFF?
I am new to Froyo, like the majority of other Nexus users who do NOT frequent these forums. So I am also new to the coloured trackball and getting my head around it.
I see a few other new froyo newbies reporting their trackball does not illuminate any more since their OTA. But like me, they probably overlooked that apart from phone calls, it seemingly only notifies you when the screen is OFF. Make sense when you think about it, as notification will be in the notification bar with screen on and no need for trackball glow.
Next question.. What is supposed to display if two concurrent notifications occur for different colored events. Just the first color or perhaps a sequence (or even a blend of the two colors - joking)? Seems to me it just displays the most recent item. Is that correct?
A little annoying that the native google apps themselves don't support the colored trackball.
Anyway seems plenty of room for 3rd party apps to improve things. Like occulting different colors at the same time for differing notification sources. Multiple flashes to quantify number of new notifications.
Tried Blink but it did not really fit the bill for me.
So I am currently running with just ChompSMS telling me a unique color for SMS and I am looking for way to improve the rest.
Green is GV. It's controlled by the app.

he means the green color notification is controlled by google voice ... means you have a notification in google voice (GV)

Option to change sms tones vanished?

You have to change the message notification within the message app.

[Q] how to disable Text Messaging popup

i got a Bionic and for txt messaging i like to use handcent and on my old Droid 1 i just disabled all the Txt messaging notifications for the default messaging application. but when i tried to do that with my Bionic i cant find the option that lets me turn off the popup feature of the default txt messaging app. i first looked in the settings of the defult app but all i see is the toggle to disable the notification in the status. and i disabled that but i still am getting the popups when people txt me.
can some one help me. were do i go to turn off the txt message popups?
Are you talking about in the notification bar?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
when some one sent me a text it would popup on my screen as well as the status bar i just wanted the status bar only as a notification as well as my ring tone.
but never mind i figured it out for some reason it wasn't holding the popup settings in Handcent so when i disabled the popup in handcent it would just revert back so i thought it was just the factory messenger popping. but i fixed it. problem solved.

Problem using textnow instead of stock phone app

To make phone calls and text I use an app called TextNow. I have set this app as my default app for phone and messages.
On my old phone when someone called me textnow acted like the normal stock phone app and would ring and go full screen to show there is a call. Then i can answer or end the call.
The app behaves differently on the p30 pro. Again, I have set Textnow as my default phone and msg app.
When someone calls me my phone will ring, but only a small phone icon will appear in the top notification bar. To answer the call I have to drag down the notifications, select the textnow notification banner THEN it will go full screen and I can answer the call or end the call.
The attached screenshot shows the phone icon in the corner. That is all that appears when someone calls me.
Any idea how to fix this?
Have you given the app the "draw over other apps" permission?

Yes when someone messages me a chat bubble (like with Facebook Messenger) pops up on the screen. If I don't close the chat bubble that annoying overlay warning message comes up.

Question Calls falling to notifications

I have a problem with calls. When I receive a call, I slide down to accept it and it immediately goes to the home screen. I can see the call icon in the notifications bar, and it is listed as a sticky notification, but in order to find it I need to scroll through all the unread notifications to find it. Sometimes I cant find it and have to clear the notifications in order for that to be the only notification in the list.
Another problem I have when I make calls (maybe the same problem) is that if the phone goes to the home screen for some reason (intentional or not), if I select the notification to go back to the call or if I select the call app via the recent apps button, it goes to the calls app as if I were to make a new call. I then need to click on a tab inside that app to get to the actual call.
Have you noticed these issues? I am running the stock OS.
