Android 2.1 - Voicemail - Several Notifications - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked around as much as I can in the million 2.1 X10 posts, but I still can't find anyone else who is having this issue, sorry if it has been answered already, but I tried...
I updated my Wife's X10 to 2.1 the other day, and everything is working much better than 1.6, the only slight annoyance she has noticed, is that when she receives a voicemail (She is on Rogers Wireless in Canada) she gets the standard voicemail notification, plus a text from "Voicemail" and then another text from "_(at)" saying there is a new voicemail.
Having 2.1 has enough fixes for her that this isn't that big of a deal, but it is kind of annoying, so we would like to fix it if we can.
I saw a post that says that Handcent doesn't understand 2.1's voicemail indicator, but I don't believe that, (or it's an old post) because I had 2.1 on my Nexus one for a while with Handcent (now 2.2.1 CM 6.1.0 RC1) and I have never had this issue.
Anyone know how to stop the several notifications, and make it just so we have the standard voicemail notification?

Sorry to ask again... But no one knows how to fix this?

I have the exact same problem. I've been unable to determine what is creating all the notifications.
It is only since going to 2.1.
Anyone?

Really? No one else has this problem?

It is Rogers doing it (had the same issue on my Nokia E71). I just live with it but it might be possible to change this from the account manager on their web site?

it might be a problem with the phone. i've had this happen to my fido phone.

[Q] SMS contact switch???

okay well this has been happening to me quite a bit. im rooted but this happened to me even while i was unrooted. id tap on a contact's name in my inbox but it brings up someone else's conversation (like i click on my girlfriend's convo and for some reason, my mom's convo whos like 5 rows down appears) and sometimes i rush to send a text (since i read the message from the notification bar) that i dont look to see if its the right person (had to explain a very embarrassing text message that was meant for my girlfriend but actually was sent to my father ) now i started using a 3rd party messaging app instead of HTC's messaging app. well recently this started happening again and its very annoying. does anyone know what the cause of this is???
It's a known problem with android 2.2.
oh thanks for the response. i didnt get to play around much with 2.2 when it was first leaked on the N1 before i switched to an iphone 4. ah guess i cant rush to text someone back anymore h
It got fixed with Gingerbread, and Froyo 2.2.2, unfortunately we have 2.2.1

[Q] Notifications Problem

I have a strange problem - I have LauncherPro (with customized dock icons), BobClockD3, and MinimalistText, running at DAS Bamf Remix 1.6.3. I get notification sounds but then when I go to open my phone, they do not show up in the top notification bar and I have to go to messages/Facebook/or whatever to see that I got a new message. I am not sure if this is due to LauncherPro because I noticed it after I installed it, but I tried checking off the "Missed call count/Unread SMS count/Unread Gmail count" under Preferences -> Dock Settings, but since I have customized dock icons, I am not sure if it will work or not... I even tried unchecking them, but I still do not get any notifications on the top of the my phone, which is strange. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated!
Other phone information that may prove useful:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)
Build Number: 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_Remix_1.6.3
Software Number: 1.13.605.7
Nevermind, after a reboot and re-installation of LauncherPro, everything seems to work fine. Strange that it happened... Oh well. Thanks anyway!
Actually, now I have a slightly different problem but it still relates to notifications (so I did not bother making a new thread). On LauncherPro, I checked off all the notifications in Preferences -> Dock Settings -> Dock Notifications. The Gmail and the Phone ones work - when I have a new mail or missed call, a little red bubble appears next to my custom icons in the dock that tells me so. However, for SMS, it does not appear. I believe I remember it appearing one when I first used it, but it has not appeared since. Any idea on what I should do?
Also, is there an app or a way to make it so when I get a text, the screen on my phone lights up? Thanks! Any help is appreciated! (Sorry for this noobish questions)
Bump (still cannot find any solution).

i have the same problem with the same setup. haven't found an answer yet either.
I mean, it's such a small problem and it really is not a big deal, but since I have noticed it, I have been trying to find a solution and since I cannot find any, it is just eating at me now, haha. It's like a personal mission to try to fix this problem.
same here. do let me know if you found a solution.
i'm thinking ill uninstall launcher and see if that might be the problem.
thanks
You mean uninstall and then reinstall or just uninstall completely?

dont know what is the cause. i unistalled launcher pro. still with no positive effect.
This is strange... I am going to continue looking. Do you use the default messaging that comes with the phone or do you have an alternative app for SMS messaging (like Handcent or something like that?). I am thinking maybe a different messaging app might work with Launcher Pro, but again, I would have to experiment and test it out... Although I do like the stock messaging system, I would want to try to keep that.
Bump - does anyone have any advice on the problem?
Go sms pro will light up the screen when you get a text. It works well for me. The other problems I am not sure about. I have the same ROM with launcher pro and no problems

Go SMS Pro? And you are able to see notifications on the bottom of Launcher Pro when you receive a SMS? I was looking around for a new messenger system, but I saw Handcent, Go SMS Pro, and a few others and I was not sure which people think is the best. I guess it is personal preference and I will give some a try... Thanks! Does anyone have any opinions on Handcent vs. Go SMS Pro vs. others?
I am going to try Go SMS Pro after I try to update my radio/try on a new kernel in the next few days, and I will let people know if that works or not.
EDIT:
I installed Go SMS Pro, relocated that shortcut on my dock, and after a few items and changing the icon around and putting the SMS Notification off then on again a few times, it finally worked. I feel maybe the HTC Messenger gives the LauncherPro dock problems at giving them notifications when messages come in? I have no idea. I like Go SMS Pro though, so anyone reading this, I recommend it. Thanks to everyone who helped!

[Q] Animation lag when sending sms (samsung messaging app)

This doesn't happen all the time but when I send an sms to a friend who I have sent plenty of messages to (more than usual friends) there is a lag in the animation when I send it. I have tried limiting the number of messages per thread and that did not help. It also doesn't seem to matter if there are a lot of apps open. It is very annoying and hopefully can be fixed. I am on the stock 2.3.5 firmware (KI3) but this has been happening since I got the phone. Any suggestions?
No one else has this problem?
I did when I first bought the phone, however after updating to 2.3.5 it dissapeared. I stopped usng it anyways, prefer handcent
i noticed that in 2.3.4 which i updated yesterday.....i tried to delete the conversation with lots of sms and it was smooth again, it wasn't doing so in 2.3.3. they fix one thing and another goes off, classic!!
gabrio
I fixed it actually by taking off split view. So far so good.

[Q] Notifications during call in CM7

First, let me say I did search for this issue and couldn't find an answer. I saw that one user had asked the same question in the original CM7 nightly thread (not the twice weekly), but never received an answer. Sorry if it's been answered elsewhere.
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly from Sam3000, although this isn't a new issue. While on a call, SMS notifications play through the rear speaker, causing the person on the other end of the call to hear it as well, interrupting them. I've dug around all the settings on the phone itself and can't find a fix.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there any sort of flashable mod to change this? I'm using the stock messaging app, as I actually prefer it to GoSMS and the like, but if using a 3rd party app is my only hope then so be it.
Thoughts?

Last 3 wks, having trouble receiving EMOJI from iOS

Has anyone had this issue?
I've Handcent and emjoi have worked for 2 years. Last 3 weeks, I just get this: ?=?
I tried GO SMS as well as ChompSMS and it's the same.
They can receive MINES but I cannot see theres.
Just seeing if it's an HTC thing (Rezound - Stock 2.3.4), Verizon thing or an Android thing.
Thanks in advance
same here, been working fine up until a couple weeks back. its really hit or miss as sometimes it goes through, other times, it receives the text in gaps L I K E T H I S. Reading the reviews on all the 3rd party messaging apps, it seems like everyone is having this problem
I saw that as well. But some recent reviews reporting it's still "functioning properly."
But now even if I have GO SMS, others I know w/ GO SMS can't recieve them either.
Sure hope Apple didn't "Patent" this and now blocking Android from exchanging them...
