Sometimes when I send a text message my location shows up after the texts I send. How do I stop it. I send one message and my location shows up a half a dozen times after.

I think your using an application that's causing your location to show through text. I think I seen an app like that in the apps market. Do you remember downloading any new text our location apps?

Hmmm, seems like you have some sort of phone locator app running in background. You should recheck your installed apps.

Not to call you a liar, but that is definitely a 3rd party app causing that. Check through your apps. Hopefully it'll work.

All right you guys must be right. It's just that I haven't installed any apps in like 2 weeks or longer so I have tunnel vision. I will uninstall a few and see if that clears up my problem. Funny thing is it doesn't happen all the time maybe every 4 days or so. If I find the little bastard I will warn other ppl of this.

I don't think its just any app. Its most likely a 3rd party location app or sms app. If you have any of those then check the settings. I'm petty sure you can keep the app, but disable the setting that has anything to do with location.

Hey there XDA, I'm selling a friends incredible for him on eBay and have a quick question. He did a factory reset so the phone needs to be set up again, if I hit "activate" on the initial set up when the only options are activate or emergency call, will it attempt to find a Verizon plan or.will it simply register on the network and say it has no service?
I want to be able to take shots of the rom so nobody thinks its broken, but can I go past activate and just use the phone on a wifi connection? Without cell service, of course.
Thanks

I don't know if it works on the incredible but on the d2 you can tap each corner of the screen, starting with the upper left, to bypass the activation screen.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I ended up finding the solution. Taping on the screen corners did not work, but after hitting activate, letting the call connect, and rebooting 3 times it went past the activation screen and let me use the phone, I also toggled the mobile network selection in the power menu but I'm not sure that mattered

hey guys im using launcher pro and when I receive a new text message I get two notifications, the normal one u get and a seperate one I'm assuming from launcher pro that takes me to my texts and after I read said text the notification will not disappear, I have to clear it manually, my question is do anyone know how to disable it? thanks

Go into the messaging app you want to disable [stock] press menu > notification settings, then disable them.
thanks but I know how to disable the stock text but I'm getting a seperate message that i have never seen before installing launcher pro

Are your messages showing twice in the messaging app? You may be receiving them twice, hence two notifications.
What rom are you on & are you using the stock app or a different one?

look at the pic, its the envelope at the top, that's not the stock message icon, that's from launcher pro, when I pull it down to check it now it says u have 0 messages, that's cool but why does it has to stay up there, if I receive another text the stock envelope will appear next to it, so I disabled the stock notification but nothing clears this unless I manually do it

I'm sorry, but I don't see a picture. I'm currently using LauncherPro (just installed it as well) and I have never received a message like that. Are you sure it isn't another app? Do you have any SMS related apps installed that aren't necessarily replacement apps? Or maybe you've installed something else recently?
One way to check if it's LauncherPro - next time you get the notification, don't clear it. Go into settings > applications > manage applications and find LP. Then force stop the application. If the icon persists then you know it isn't LauncherPro. While you're there, go ahead and force stop any recently installed applications and see which one clears it.
Oh, and are you using Google Voice?

thanks Jane I figured it out, it was some launcher pro service pack I had downloaded, uninstalled it now everything is good, oh I thought I had uploaded a screen shot on a previous post I guess not, thanks again!

Sorry to revive a 2 year old thread, but I just started having this problem myself. I have an HTC Evo V (Virgin Mobile) Everything stock phone. I get like a postcard looking thing that says "new message(s)" and won't go away unless I press "clear". This just started happening, and I wanted to know what was your fix.
Thank you
It was working before the md4 update. I could delete from the pull down curtain. Now all I get is the notification without the delete /reply options. I have tried all different settings without success. I even uninstalled gmail, deleted data and cashe, reinstalled. No dice. I really liked to be able to delete without going to the app....

Again, it's not a lookout problem, is a gmail problem.. nothing lookout can do to fix this, it would have to be coded into the gmail app to allow it to display these options when there is other notifications
Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
I think the gmail notification has two modes: minimized and full (with buttons).
The notification only shows the buttons when it's the "top" notification. Apps like lookout have persistent notifications, so the gmail notification is never top dog and therefore doesn't go into "full" mode.
I know in 4.2.2, the method I described allows you to expand minimized notifications. I do a medium-length press and hold, then drag the notification down to expand it. I'll try to capture a video of what I mean (never captured video on my phone before).

On the aosp dialer and even the s4 dialer you can start to key in the phone number and matching contacts pull up.

Maybe your dialer is messed up then. Mine starts pulling contacts while typing in number. Or maybe I'm just not understanding.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
The thing that bothers me is when I start typing in a contact's name or number, it only gives me one contact at a time at the top of the list, with a little box to the left of the input area with the rest of the matches.
Coming from the HTC Incredible, it used to show multiple suggestions at the top of the list.
I played with a ONE in Costco a couple days before I received mine in the mail and it had multiple contacts (though none had pics) up top.
Anyone know how to configure it that way? I've been trying to figure it out
I installed exdialer and its sweet!!
sent from my blue police box flying through time.....
Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?
Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.
Camera shortcut in lock screen
The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
