Issue #1: double/duplicate notifications
Annoyed by the double/duplicate notification I receive when using Cricket's Visual Voicemail (the "normal" one + the visual one), I was about to post a question asking how I could stop the "normal" voicemail notification from appearing, since a Google search didn't turn up anything useful. Then it dawned on me that I should check the options in the normal voicemail settings. Sure enough, under "personal options", there's an option to disable the Message Waiting indicator. I did that and now only get a single notification - from the Visual Voicemail app.
Issue #2: playback stops when screen orientation changes
When I'm holding the phone in front of me to see who a message is from and press Play, the phone is in portrait orientation. If I choose to listen using the earpiece, the phone often switches to landscape orientation, depending on how I'm holding the phone. When this happens, playback stops. I've been able to fix this using Tasker - by disabling Display Auto Rotation when in the Cricket Visual Voicemail app. The same thing can probably be achieved using similar apps.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
