I can't seem to figure out how to get Google Voice to only notify me of new voicemail by pulldown.
I don't want to receive emails or text messages. Anyone know how to make those two notifications stop?
Or reduce things down to being notified in only one manner?
I don't know how to do it on the phone, but if you login to google.com/voice, under settings:
->Phones: Uncheck "Notify me of new voicemails via text "
-> Voicemail & Text: Voicemail Notifications: Uncheck "Email the message to:"
There is no way to change it from within the phone app.
Like Jedah said, you have to do it from the web.
You can change them on your phone from the mobile web app at https://www.google.com/voice/m
Under Settings - General there are two options for VM delivery.

Hi everyone,
Anyone else having an issue with voicemail notifications after installing Google Voice?
I constantly have a new voicemail notification in my bar that is driving me crazy. I have no new messages and even deleted all previous messages but cannot get this notification to go away.
To be more specific it is the phone's own voicemail notification icon that will not dissapear. I have voice set to text an alert when I get a voicemail, so I'd like there not to be any notifications in the bar. I disabled notifications within Google Voice's settings but it appears to be the stock alert that I cannot disable.
Thanks in advance.
Solved, there was a message in my carrier inbox that my phone was trying to access from google voice.

Facebook push notifications - I can't get them, is there a way to get them?
Lack of Visual Voicemail - I set up google voice but there is like 12 rings before it goes to voicemail. Is there a way to control the number of rings (preferably 4)
Facebook app - is it even worth it without push or should I use a shortcut to Facebook in browser.
Competing e-mail apps - I get notifications for my gmail and the e-mail client. Can I turn one off?

Perhaps these questions are in the wrong sub-forum?
Where should I post them or can I mod move this post to the appropriate thread?
Thanks,
JOe K.

1. I believe theres an AT&T code you enter with the dialpad to change the max # of rings. Try:
- On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
- Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
- Write down the number (including +1)
- Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
- Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
2. Use tweetdeck for FB, has notifications
3. go to the app's settings, notifications, and unselect sync data
Why set up both email apps for the same email account? That makes no sense.

Number 3 is incorrect in regards to sync data. If you turn that off, you won't get push email for gmail.
You can turn notifications off per application - settings-> notifications. uncheck.
I guess Sync Data was a typo.

set myself up for that one.
Yea sorry. Couldn't help it.
Read that you can change it online our have to call ATT for the ring issue.
Face book blows for the android... Updates rarely push correctly.
With my phone using Cognition, because it just runs better.

It was me just being lazy to see what the selection was, because there is no selection for "sync data" anyways
I haven't figured out a facebook solution yet.
Those google voice instructions you posted worked great. I was able to set my rings to 4 by using the 15 second rule. I'm stoked on setting up a number of different voicemail messages for varying groups.
For GMail, I just turned notifications off.

Stock Inspire
Using stock e-mail program
If I have unread e-mail messages, the phone will beep with the sound notification every time it checks for mail, until I open the e-mail app. Even if I have not received any new mail, it will beep when it checks for mail until I open the program.
So if I receive a message at 1pm, and it it set to check for mail every 10 minutes, I will receive a sound notification at 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, etc. until I actually open the e-mail app.
Is this normal? Is there a setting I can chage where it will only beep once upon receipt of a new message? I looked thru the settings and couldn't find anything.
Thanks.
Bump
Anyone else experiencing this?
This is happening for me too on Gmail.
It is also happening with my txt message. In addition to that, when it plays my txt msg notification, at the very same time it plays my default sound (so it is playing two sounds at the same time).
Are there setting for these that I haven't seen yet?
Thanks.

Do you have a third party messaging program like Handcent or Chomp installed?

How do you turn off specific notifications?
I just received my Inspire today and I'm having similar issues.
I've used Windows Mobile and iPhone for years. This is my first Android phone.
Everything is right out of the box with the stock ROM and no additional apps loaded. The only thing I did was setup my Exchange email accounts.
With Windows Mobile and the iPhone I was able to turn off notifications for new emails, but leave it on for text messages and calendar reminders. I receive a large number of emails and I need to have the email notification sound and vibration turned off.
So far I have found where to set your notification sound and where to turn off all notification sounds. I have not figured out how to turn offf just the email notification sound.
Each program has its own notification settings.
Go to mail -> menu - > more - > settings -> notification settings and there you are.
In gmail - menu -> more -> settings -> scroll down to email notifications
Messages - menu -> settings -> received notification

Thanks for the quick response.
An an Android newbie, I was looking for it in the main settings app, not in the mail program itself. I was able to turn off the email notifications and keep the other notifications on.

That is one of the big difference in iOS and Android. In Android you use the menu button within the app you are using to set the specific settings for that app. In iOS you go to the settings area to change setting for all of the apps. It took me a while to get used to when I made the switch last year. I got used to it and now it just makes sense to change settings within the program, not have to leave the program and do it somewhere else.
Is anybody successfully using chompSMS as their default text app and getting all of texting features on their watch? (I have a Galxy S6 on Verizon in the US).
Following an old thread for this issue on the Gear 1, I was able to get most of the features working. The issue, lies with the fact that the watch wants you to use the default messaging app "Messages" on Samsung phones (which is horrible). I have notifications for the default "Messages" app turned on and silenced on my phone and not showing notifications to prevent duplicates on my phone. I will copy the process from the other thread and link it below.
The best I am currently achieving is that when I receive a text on my phone, I get the chompSMS notification on the watch and can quick reply to it by viewing the text through the notification screen, or when it firsts pops up on the watch face. But if I go to the "Messages" app on the watch to look through a conversation, all I can see are the sent messages from the phone, and not the replies. I am unsure if this is because part of the chompSMS functions are working, or part of the "Messages" app on the phone are working. Either way, Id like to be able to see both the sent and received texts here.
Upon opening the "Messages" app on the watch, I get the message "Unable to receive messages on the Gear. Change the default messaging app to "Messages". I just skip past it to get to the messages.
Has anyone been able to get all of this working with chompSMS? I am unwilling to switch apps on my phone but if you have gotten other apps working, the process could be helpful to me. I would think there would be a way to trick the phone to use two default messaging apps or trick into not requiring one. I haven't rooted my phone but would consider if somebody has gotten it to work that way.

This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!
Thanks for any help you guys. Much appreciated.
I receive, reply & send with ChompSMS on my watch. I use the messages app on the watch, it *****es that you need different default message app but just click the "X" and send away.

so when you go to the messages app on the watch, you are able to see texts that you send using chomp from your phone? maybe i need to do a reset on my watch..
How do you have the notifications and alerts set up to achieve this?
anyone else have any insight?
I use Handcent and can't get it to work either. The watch always tell me to change the default messaging app. I asked Handcent (through their facebook page) several weeks ago if they were going to update it to support the Gear S2 and they have totally ignored me (and anybody else that posts there). They have a google group now that I submitted a request to join WEEKS ago and its still pending. Because of that, I switched to the default messaging app so it would work on the watch. Apparently handcent isn't interested in helping people that use their app. Perhaps you have better luck with ChompSMS than I have had with Handcent.

Interstingly, I emailed the people at chompSMS the other day and they got back to me very quickly that they have notified the dev team about it (who knows what will come of that).
It seems simple enough. In fact even if the third party apps could be used without being the default messenger, and not show the "make default app" banner when you use them, everything would work great. You'd just follow the instructions i linked above and all the features would work because the stock Messages app would be the default but not be giving you notifications.

I have noticed that it only syncs what I typed to others in the message app, but when i'm texting it show the interaction between who im texting. There is no special config, just make sure Chomp is selected in GM Notifications
Hi,
Can't find that setting anymore neither in Phone app settings nor in Reminders settings.
Not available anymore?
Thanks!!!
Well.. you need to slide up during a call and Remind me in 1 hour option is on the top of the text message list.
Who could have thought..
