I'm having this issue as well. For a temporary fix, you could have a notification sent to your gmail in the settings. You'll have to enable this on the gv site since the option doesn't appear in the app.
I've had this same problem. After updating last night I haven't received any notifications without loading the program first. I have tried to reinstall with no luck. Here's to hoping for an application update soon!
i uninstalled and reinstalled and everything works awesome!! now there are no flaws for 2.2 on my phone!
I didn't feel like reading the posts. so forgive me if this has already been said, I'm just trying to help. But if you go to settings> applications> manage applications> Google Voice. Then select to Clear the data as well as force close the application. then when you open it next you will have to re-setup the app. But all should be corrected. Sorry if this is a repeat
Well perhaps your phone is having trouble pulling down data. did you flash the baseband update? you can grab it over at Droid-Life.com if that doesnt fix the problem, Droid-Life is likely to be posting a new version of Froyo for the droid tomorrow. and this one is actually going to be a test build and not a custom ROM like we're all running currently.
