Hi folks,
[ I put this post in the Eris "All Things Root" sub-forum mostly because I'm using a dev ROM - CS CM7 v21. It might well also apply to stock ROMs for all I know. ]
I recently started using Google Voice (GV) for text messages - I came close to "running over" my monthly SMS allotment from Big Red, so I thought "why not"? I gave the GV# out to folks that I text with the most.
Since that time - but I am not sure that it has anything to do with GV - my CM7 notifications involving text messages seem to be flaky. AFAIK, it involves notifications which are sent to the phone #, not the GV #.
Sometimes I get them, sometimes not. I think it involves both a lack of a notification ring tone and also lack of trackball LED blinking (which I have set up via Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Interface->LED notifications). I can't be sure that the blinking doesn't just "time out" after a while - because it's usually a couple hours later when I discover a text message that I failed to notice.
I used this ROM (CS CM7 v21) for quite a long time without GV, and I don't remember this problem coming up. When I specifically test things (sending messages between the GV and Android vanilla SMS app to/from my primary cell#/GV #), everything seems fine. But some hours or days go by, and I realize I've gotten a text without a notification.
So, I guess I'm wondering - have any of you noticed similar problems with GV and CM7 ROMs? Or is just a general problem with dropped notifications on CM7 ROMs?
Ideas and commentary welcome.
