OK...couple of issues at play here, I think.
First, I'm on a stock, non-rooted M8 - received the latest OTA update, but the issue(s) I have, I have been having since I started using the phone.
I have Google Voice installed and use it for my voicemail app - I did this on my S3 that I had (rooted, CM10 - I think it was CM10) and it worked great. I'd miss a call, get a voicemail, get a notification...I'd click the notification and it played the voicemail within the dialer app.
On my M8, I miss a call and get a notification for a VM...I click the VM notification and sometimes it does nothing, other times it takes me to my call history/log. No way to play the voicemail. I have to manually clear the notification, and then open the Google Voice app and listen to the voicemail.
FIRST - Is there a way to click the notification and have the voicemail play back natively?
SECOND - Assuming I can't do what I want I have an even bigger issue...Even after I listen to the VM in Google Voice I get notifications that I have new voicemails...They are "new" in that I never listened to them so GV views them as "new" but they're months (years?) old. Typical scenario...I miss a call, get a VM, open up GV and listen to the VM (maybe delete it, maybe not), and go about my business. No VM notifications...until I get a new text message...then my phone goes crazy and dings/beeps something like a dozen times and my VM notification is back. GV is alerting me to "new" VMs that I've long since dismissed the notification for...anything I can do about that?
Thanks!

i would just delete/remove them from google voice itself
Same deal here
Yeah this can be annoying. Hope someone knows a fix. Thanks.

Unfortunately, that doesn't really fix it...I went through and marked all "unread" as "read" and deleted numerous old Vmails...unless I delete ALL old Vmails, this happens. I could do that - but I sure as **** shouldn't have to do that. It's a bug.
It worked just fine on CM10 (and my GS3) - I'd get the notification when there was a new VM, I'd click the notification, and I'd listen to it in the 'stock' dialer/vmail app with CM10. No persistent notifications.
Is anyone else having trouble with hangouts not giving notifications about 50% of the time? I keep missing SMS messages because they just appear in Hangouts later but I never receive a notification and the LED doesn't blink. Hangouts is the default messaging app.
Running stock latest kitkat...
Mine has been messed up ever since the video phone feature update. Calls just drop or are never made. Hang out messages are not seen or heard. It is a little irritating.
Note 4 rooted, with newest update as well, running Nova. Using the default SMS Messaging app
4 issues I have been having.
1.) When I get SMS, the notifications in the dropdown won't go away.. even when I am in that person's SMS chat.. I have to swipe it away. This happens randomly.
2.) When I am chatting with someone on SMS and in the dialog screen, the phone does not vibrate or have a sound alert that lets me know they replied. I have put down the phone a few times not realizing that a reply had been sent, but my eyes were not on the screen to be alerted to it. If the screen is off or in another app, then I get sound and vibrate alerts.
3.) When I get a few new SMS backlogged, instead of showing me the names of my contacts texting me, it shows me their phone # and messages in the dropdown.
4.) This is random.. I got a call from my gf this afternoon, and before it pulled up my contact info for her (from my gmail contacts list), it pulled up her full name like a caller ID from back in the day.. Her full name is not in my gmail and her linked email is a hotmail address(but that doesnt have her full name either). Why did this happen and how can I have it for other people that arent contacts in my phone book?
The first 3 items are probably bugs in the Messaging app.. I think I remember #4 being offered by T-Mobile as a paid extra.. but I am definitely not paying for it.
I'm just having issues getting Gmail notifications to come through. Even when enabling notification through label settings.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
#4 is probably the Tmobile NameID app. if i recall, there was a notification on my phone after the first bootup about a free trial or something. it displays caller ID for all numbers, supposedly, even for "unknowns" and such. since i disabled all the tmobile bloat ive not seen it come up. if you turn off the program in application manager it should stop working.
Hello I have my nexus 6 with sprint and intigrated/ported my number to Google voice. I am trying to use hangouts as my stand alone dialer but the problem is when I get calls both the native phone rings and hangouts at the same time. And prevents me from accepting a call. If I use hangouts the stock dialer will still be ringing in the background and if I answer with stock dialer well I won't be using hangouts. I turned off notifications for phone and that works randomly. I went to google voice and disabled forward to phones. I tried to disable stock dialer but that did nothing. When i disabled the other phone related apk's hangouts would jist glitch out or not connect. Side note when hide notifications is working the stick phone doesn't ring or interfere with hangouts but I still see a notification that I missed a call even though o answered with hangouts. So yea anyone else with this issue or know a fix?
I am having problems on my GMC to get SMS messages on my AA. When I set it up I chose to include everything except the Phone permission. I chose to use contacts, sms, maps, mic. I have no problem receiving the notification card and listening to the playback on a Hangouts message. But when I receive a text it only shows up on my phone and I get nothing on the Android Auto screen in the truck. Its like I never received a message, so then I have to read it on my phone. I have no problem with using voice commands to send Hangouts and SMS messages, just no notification on the SMS.
The reason I didn't include my phone permission was because I like the way the Intellink works on the truck and so when an incoming call would come in and Android Auto had access I would have to go through it to answer making my steering wheel control useless. So I changed the settings but only removed the phone and now I can use the phone through the truck Intellink but am not getting the SMS notifications through Android Auto.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
