I recently had issues with my phone and returned it to stock. I am now running the stock ICS from AT&T.
I installed GO SMS, then disabled the notifications in my regular messaging application, and now I receive no notifications in GO SMS unless I am in the actual program and it is running. This was not an issue when I running GB, I would receive notifications when the app was not running.
any ideas or advice?
I search the forums and google but had no luck, hopefully i posted this in the right place. Thanks in advance.

I'm using the latest Cognition ROM, v2.3b6 and I've noticed since v2.3b2 that every SMS sent or received is now in the call log. I never saw this in the stock ROM or Cog v2.2b7.
It's really annoying when I want to scroll down to a recent number only to find that I've got to scroll through dozens of SMS messages depending on how many I've sent/received after a call to/from the number I am trying to locate.
Anyway to turn this off?
I've seen it in every 2.2 version I have tried. Unfortunately I know of no way to turn this off.
Can only hope when the source code drops it:
A) Will have an option to turn off
B) That Developers find a way to add that functionality
There is a way to customize the call log:
Phone->Logs->Menu->View by
Only problem is you cant have it show all calls (has to be either missed, dialed or received).
You can also stop that from happening by using Titanium Backup and "freezing" the stock messaging app. Doing so will stop all the logs from coming in and going out, but you also have to use a third-party messaging app. The only downside I've found to this so far, is the loss of MMS capability, but that could be an issue only with how Handcent is set up on my phone. Has anyone else tried this and still been able to use MMS (receive and send)?
I am currently running Scott's excellent CleanROM DE 2.0 custom ROM. Try as I might, I have not been able to make Google Voice issue alert notifications about new voice mail.
It is configured properly (thru the "*004*xxxxxxxxxxx#" method) and all voice mails do go to GV. However, it just refuses to issue any alert, either visual or notification tone. All the right options are set properly in GV settings.
What is so frustrating is that I had somehow got this working on 1.83, but just unable to do so on 1.85.
Has anybody got this working right? If you don't mind, can you share with me how you managed to do so?
Thanks,
Rajiv

First, I'm still on 1.78, but i'm having some issues now, too. I still get my GV notifications via email as I have GV send me an email with each new message (in addition to the GV notification...i know, overkill). BUT for the last 4-5 days, I have not been getting any GV notifications from the app. I get the message if I see the GV email notification and open the app up but i dont get the app notification - or associated indicator icon - when a new message comes in. Did yours ever work or has it always been a problem since setup?
I'm having the same issue. I get no notifications via the app... nothing for voicemails. VERY annoying....

It was a problem on the stock ROM, somehow got fixed when I installed the leaked 1.83 RUU, but doesn't work anymore in either the 1.85 RUU or the CleanROM 2.0DE (which is based on 1.85). However, I don't believe this is 1.78 or 1.85 issue, rather a problem with GV. I had it working perfectly on my previous phone, HTC Aria. Maybe it is compatibility issue for GV on HTC One series.
I hope Google realizes there is a problem with GV and issues a fix soon.

So this is all I could find regarding an issue a friend of mine is having.
Fully stock Nexus 5 using GOSMS for messaging.
The messages show up in notification, but don't show up inside the SMS threads.
Eventually they appear, but not always.
Also their messages don't auto sort into the order they are received.
Re-installing didn't fix that, installing another sms app didn't sort it either.
Any suggestions short of doing a full wipe ?

How about on the stock messaging app or on Hangouts?
There are a lot of reports of missing voicemail notifications on Nexus 5. I think I've read them all on this forum & some others including CyanogenMod threads about the Nexus 5. My specific problem:
On my Nexus 5, Voicemail SMS messages are being received from my carrier (O2 Ireland), appearing properly as unread SMS in my default messaging application (Handcent).
Every time they do, there is no notification icon in the drawer and no notification tone.
In my attempts to fix the problem:
I had this problem on stock KitKat when the phone was new with the 4.4.2 release, up through the 4.4.4 OTA upgrade, and continued to have the problem after installing CyanogenMod 11 with both the M10 and M11 releases.
I have disabled notifications in both Google Hangouts and the default SMS app ("Messaging").
Switching between Handcent and Messaging as my SMS app has no effect on the problem.
Using Google Hangouts as my SMS app is not an option for me, and Google Voice won't work with my phone number which is outside North America.
I have tried setting "Reminders" for unread SMS in Handcent, but it does not send reminders for notifications that never happen in the first place.
My current workaround, which is a poor one especially because it relies on keeping the phone display active all the time, is to use the Handcent Widget on my home screen which always displays the number of unread messages. At least this way I can see when the Voicemail text arrives, with an unread message count on the Handcent icon.
I am hoping to find any of the following:
Why the phone software (Android and/or its applications) gets the voicemail SMS but suppresses the notification
An APK or Market application that I can use to work around the problem
A software patch for this problem, or even a different ROM that has the problem fixed
One thing I have not tried is eradicating Hangouts from the phone. I wanted to start this thread first to see if there's a better way. If there's no suggested alternative, I'll try this and then post the result.
removed Google Hangouts, still nothing
More information: I have removed all the updates relating to Google Hangouts, rolled it back to the factory version, and removed the APK. Testing it at every step showed no change to the voice mail problem. So Google Hangouts may not be "stealing" the notifications but it doesn't mean the phone isn't hard-wired to deliver them to Hangouts or Google Voice.
I am following up with my carrier on this thread to see if there is a way of fixing this problem at the service level; it can be found by searching the O2 Ireland Community Forums for Nexus 5: no voicemail SMS notification (I can't post the link here).
Also, I am surprised not to have had a response at all from the community here. I have always believed xda-developers was a resource for developers at any level, even those like me who are at the first stage of trying to learn how the phone works. Even a tip about how phone notifications are delivered, and what might be getting in the way of them here, would be a help.
Handcent no voicemail notifications on Nexus 5
Problem was eventually solved by installing Chomp SMS. After seeing the same problem on both Handcent and the stock messaging app I had decided it wasn't likely to be an application problem: in hindsight, that was wrong. Nexus 5 appears different than other phones in that each incoming SMS from the Voicemail number replaces the last one. That tends to make the messaging app not issue a notification... but Chomp SMS must work differently since it isn't subject to that problem.
While still on Handcent I found the workaround of deleting the Voicemail message thread or last & only Voicemail SMS after every Voicemail notification. That forced the next one to be treated as "new" and triggered a notification every time. Today I wouldn't wish that workaround on anyone but the Handcent developers.
BTW in last few months of experimentation SlimKat has turned out to be a better choice for the Nexus 5 than CyanogenMod.
I updated to 5.0 last night and I am running stock not rooted. I'm currently on a wifi network with cell service. I have been using google voice for SMS and this scenario. Before the upgrade I would get SMS messages through GV over WIFI no problem. After the update to 5.0 i need to go into Hangouts wait about 20 to 30 seconds and new messages will come in. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm looking to make it so messages come in automatically without user intervention.
Edit: Just going into Hangouts isn't enough. I actually need to go into the SMS thread after which any new SMS messages will appear
