Running AT&T Stock ROM on the Tilt II.
My annoyance is that, if I have a text conversation open, my phone does not make a sound or vibrate upon receipt of a new text message from that person. So if I leave it displaying the messages from that dialogue, and lock the phone, it won't give me a notification when I receive a message.
Anyone know a way to disable this annoying 'feature'?
Thanks

I'd love a fix for this also. I've seen it on most all ROM's I've tried. If the HTC messaging app is open (not sure if the MS messaging does it also) I don't get notified of txt messages.
This means either you should close the app after each message, or remember to check it during a "conversation" with somebody. Very annoying.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Hi all. I've loved the info and resources from the site but finally ran into a problem I cant figure out on my own. I get a white envelope in my notification bar for every text message that says "New Notification: Unread Messages" that doesnt take me anywhere when I click it and disabling it under the stock sms app doesnt do anything. It randomly started popping up with my Handcent notification today and wont go away. It only goes away when I clean notifications but pops up again as a second icon when I get a new text. It even plays the ringtone.
Help?
Simple fix...you need to disable the notification for your stock messaging app..open up the stock htc messaging app and go to the settings and disable receive notification... You are now using handcent so you do not need both app notifying you of new messages.
Once you disable recv notification in the stock app you should be good to go.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I already did that option since I've had my Inc since launch and Handcent just as long. This is a recent issue even with the stock Messager app disabled
Sorry I found the culprit. It was the beautiful widgets SMS widget. I had no idea it affected SMS even if the widget wasnt applied
I am using Light Flow and I noticed one of the settings allows you to have contact-based access to gmail but you need a modified gmail app to use it. Where do I find the modified gmail app? My phone is rooted and I am running Codename Android.
Thanks!
You can just click the 'add' button in the notification window and it seems to jump to contacts. Never bothered to look much tbh as I just use Light Flow for apps but it might just work...
EDIT: Had a quick look, it gives options for SMS, MMS and missed calls for a specific contact

Under Light Flow settings, there is a "Modified Gmail app" option. If you select this, then in addition to picking contact-specific notifications for SMS, MMS and missed calls, you can also set up contact specific notifications for email addresses. I tried this and unfortunately it does not work. I assume this is because I do not have the "Modified" version of Gmail.
Anyone know what Light Flow is referring to when they reference Modified Gmail App??
Does anyone know how to stop the notification for delivery report or at change the tone? Right now it is set to the same tone as my sms notification and I can't seem to find a way to change it. It's really annoying because I always think I get a text but it is the delivery report. I would just change to a third party sms app but I like how my sms show up on the lock screen with the stock app. Any suggestions?
If you go into Settings in Messages you can set the notification tone for received messages and if you scroll further down you can disable the notifications for sent and failed messages and also set a different notification tone than your received one.
Sorry for the long run on sentence. My brain isn't functioning too well today.

Yeah, the notification for sent message is off right now. There doesn't appear to be an option for delivery notification which is different from sent message. It's the little checkbox thing next to texts when you send an sms to people on the same carrier.
Found it (maybe?). Settings, Text messages (SMS), deselect Delivery Reports. Also appears to have it under Multimedia Messages.
Yeah I still want the delivery report icon next to my texts, I just don't want a notification. If I uncheck it I lose them completely. That's how it has been for every other sms app I have used. I guess I'll have to just live without them.
I like the badge count feature, a great improvement from android 7.x, but on my s9 the count is not representative of the actual number of unread messages and emails I have- for example, when I get a new text message, the badge count usually says 3, and 3 or 4 unread emails gives me a badge count of between 35 and 45!
Has anyone else had this issue, or any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
with the new Android version, the badge count reflects not only NEW notifications but older, unread ones also. That may be the issue.
Thanks for the reply- not that though, I have zero unread messages but it always shows 3 as a badge when I get a new one.
I guess I am the only one with this issue, so maybe a wipe and rebuild is in order
I have same problem on my S9+. Using textra, I have deleted all text messages and still when I get a new message, it shows 2 instead of 1. When using Signal app, the badge rarely if ever even shows any count. All other apps seem to be accurate.
Gmail randomly shows 999 for me..only sometimes
I have this issue, too. Currently ZERO unread messages, but when I get a new text, the counter says "5".
ive come from s7 edge with touchwiz from s8 installed previously and badges there worked as intended (unread count, not notification count).
when i recovered all apps and settings on my new s9 notifications worked the same as on the old phone (unread count). when i reset the device and recovered nothing but messages and contacts it started to act as for every1 (notification count).
Same goes for the samsung keyboard. for freshly set keyboard i dont seem to be able to enable swype typing, when i recover keyboard data from old phone recovery swype get "enabled" tho no option is present in settings
maby there is some hidden option to reenable unread badges again
Badge count incorrect
I've had the same problem with my new Galaxy S9. The badge icon will show 5 new messages, but there will only be 2 or it will show 2 new messages and there will only be 1. And, no there aren't any hidden unread messages. Hopefully, it will get corrected soon.
Same issue

I have the same issue. It started after Telstra sent notification of change to my MessageBank. Message received was
"Your mobile is now Telstra Messaging capable. Your Telstra MessageBank voice mail will now be delivered to the RCS messaging inbox on your device. This feature requires your device to have the latest Android updates. For more information, including control of this feature browse Telstra. com/rcs"
That message was also sent as an audio (MMS)
Then the problems started.
The Message badge shows incorrect numbers - if I have one voicemail it can show as 3 or 4. It shows as 2 or 3 if it is a text message. If I press the Message badge it then shows 2 bubbles. The first grey bubble will say 101 Message Bank - the second white bubble is an audio MMS which can only be played with speaker on.
I have spoken with 8 people in Telstra, and they are still trying to fix. Have tried switching off the Rich Communications in Chat Settings. Have sent AUDIO OFF to 144 as per Telstra website.
The Audio messages are now stopped but badge still shows incorrect numbers and message now says
"You have received a new voicemail, please call 101."
I then have to go back to keypad and dial 101.
Previously I never dialled 101 just pressed the bubble and it took me directly to voicemail. As of 30 mins ago - Telstra still trying to find out what has changed.
If they figure it out I will post the instructions!
Also having this problem, though only noticed it after updating to Android P. For the record, I found a few suggestions online about wiping the data/cache for the app "BadgeProvider" and rebooting, but that hasn't helped.

I think I found a fix for SMS. It's annoying though, and might not be universal.
I'm using the stock android messaging app for texts instead of the Samsung one, so badge I'm seeing is over the stock messaging app. In that app is a menu item to "mark all read" which I've used a few times. But while there's no badge after, I can get one message and have a badge that says I have three.
Here's the deal: the Samsung messaging app, even if it isn't the default SMS app, has its own unread count and hides it.
So, if you open the *Samsung* messages app (and say cancel when it asks if you want to set it as your default texting app) it'll load up with a tab on the bottom for Conversations. If you wait a minute, a blue badge will appear next to it with a number. Scroll down and look for a similar badge on different conversations on the right side, and open each one. When there's no badge next to conversations anymore, exit the app.
That *should* do it. I've now gotten a single text message and been given a badge that says 1.
That worked for me - thanks!

firstly, i believe theyre called "badge" notifications
so, to make sure i understand, youre getting notifications for other stuff up in the top bar where the time, battery level and signal icons are located, correct? And youre wanting your text message badge notifications to show there as well?
Sorry for the mistakes,
I'm talking about badge on the app icon that either count notifications or unread messages.
In galaxy s9+ it counts notifications. Please guide if I can enable that for unread count i.e., the unread messages in whatsapp, gmail, twitter, etc.
Please let me know if need more charity. Happy to answer.
Thanks!
