Notifications! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a notification issue I was wondering if anyone else might have experience with. I use handcent, and I'm getting double notifications for some reason. I've used it for a long time and know how to turn off the factory settings, and they are! I just don't understand why the damn white envelopes keep coming in and two different tones when the notification us clearly turned off.???

Are you positive that the receive box for the default MMS app is unchecked? Double check, also try clearing defaults. This is all I can think of as of the moment

EVERYTHING is unchecked, I'll try clearing defaults though.

I even thought about just removing the stock messaging app, but I read some where that will cause problems.

I had the same issues with Handcent when I first got my Inc, and couldn't figure out why, and never did. I switched to chompSMS, and haven't had an issue since. I would love to know why it did that as well...
I have handcent frozen using titanium and still get the second notification... I only don't get it if I freeze the messages app but then I lose mms

I really like Hancent but this notification thing is killing it for me...
Default Messaging app has notifications, auto retreive disabled
Restarted
Wipped phone
I don't get 2 messages, just hear the ring tone two times.
If I disable notifications I only hear one, but then it still vibrates for 3 seconds and I have disabled all vibration.
No other notification vibrates. I swear some of these settings are in here as a tease.
I really love hancent but this may push me to an new app... I can't have this phone vibrating across the table during my meetings.
If you think you can help you can respond here or message me on aim...

Light Flow issue fixed on 4.1.1

Hey guys. Im having a problem with Light Flow. Im sure a lot of you use it? Although i couldnt find many threads on it. I even searched Google for this issue. So hopefully you guys can help.
Anyways im using Light Flow 3.0.2
And it works great but a lot of the time ill get a notificiation (screen will be off) the LED will flash its appropreate color. Ill check the notification (Lets say Gmail) read the email, delete the email, respond to the email w/e and turn the screen off again.
Then the LED will still be flashing for that notification even though i checked it and erased it.
The only way i have found to fix this other then reboot ofcourse is to go into Light Flow > Notifications. I notice when i do this LightFlow gets granted Superuser then i exit turn screen off and all is good.
Any ideas?

Did you make sure you don't have any other app notifications that have the same color?
Are you using any task killers or killing the app with the hold of back button?
Same issue here, disabled it until it gets an update to support JB.

It's in the known issues for jelly bean. Something to do with the accessibility.

for me
when removed the app it disabled the vibration for new sms, gmail ..etc
tried everything without success (disabled settings & re-enable it, rebooting, ...etc), so I didn't bother to install it again after a factory reset (stock ICS by the way)
if anyone had the same problem and knew how to correct it let me know.
delete me please
There is a lightflow widget that clears all lightflow notifications when tapped.
I am just using that while waiting for a fix (which couldn't come soon enough).
FYI guys with JB 4.1.1 I got light flow to work 100%

The missed call notification does not go away even after entering the app, that is the dialer.

So i found out a little more.
So for me before 4.1.1 SMS was my biggest issue that notification would never go away unless i manually cleared it with the app or the widget.
I noticed that is was working on 4.1.1 after i went to accessibility and turned it off and then on again for Lightflow. after i did this i noticed that the notification for SMS was clearing on its own. So i thought it was all good.
UNTIL
I reset/tuned off the phone and received another txt. The notification would not clear on its own. So i was messing around with it and went back to accessibility and turned it off and on again and now the SMS notification clears itself until the next reset of the phone.
Hope it works for you guys. I dont mind toggling a setting until an update comes out.
lightflow issues not fixed on 4.1.1 derp :silly:
Gtalk and Gmail both clear correctly. Gonna see how it is with SMS and Missed Call when I get one of those.
uh. what's up with the title of this thread?
How about on 4.1? Is it playing nice on there? A ToroPlus GNex here...I will buy it if yes
I just downloaded the lite to try it. I feel like its hit or miss. Too much customization and easy to get lost. For example, right now, I have two different notifications going off for like SMS and email. Because within the SMS and email app themselves I've defined a notification sound and then within light flow settings you can define a sound. So I get x2. I think the trick may be to go into the app settings themselves and set them to silent. Then use light flow and set the sounds up. That seems to be the KEY. However, there is a learning curve it seems to this APP. Once you set it up, your good...but dam it takes awhile.
Colors are working good though, but the dismissal of notification via "opening the app" dont work worth crap. You have to set it to "on screen" dismissal
Plus I found myself disabling and re-nabling the app from withing settings --> Accessibility often.

No, I was fine on 4.0.4 but when i went to 4.1 it stopped working, I'm now on 4.1.1 and it's still not working.
It is a fantastic app though, I'm sure the developer will update the app eventually to work with 4.1.1.

SMS Wake up

When I receive a SMS, the phone wakes up.
Having a hard time finding the setting to turn it off...any insight?
bump for this - I don't see why the screen needs to come on every time a sms message comes in. I haven't seen this happen with email(exchange), gmail, GTalk, etc... so annoying to waste battery for no reason with the LED indicator enabled.
I've looked and looked and don't really see anyone complaining about this, which I find really strange.

bump - seriously no one cares about this wasting battery for no reason?
No one has found an answer? Just got the AT&T version and I do about 20,000 texts a month, so this is very annoying and wastes battery, ESPECIALLY since it has a notification LED.
I got so tired of it, that I just switched over to handcent.

Just called Samsung and he searched and put me on hold for a while and came back saying there is no way to change this. He recommended downloading a 3rd party texting app or seeing if there is an app that will do this :/
here is a fix from the Sprint GS3

Just tried to flash, didn't see any changes in the Messages settings. Not the screen toggle or mms server issue

It was annoying me as well, the only fix I found without switching to another app is to go to Settings in the messaging app and make sure everything is unchecked under Notifications. If you do this, you will no longer see new text messages in the notification bar, but if you want you can use Nova launcher premium that has an add on called Tesla unread plug in (it adds a number to a messaging shortcut when new sms arrives).
Hope this helps.

How do you turn off the annoying constant notification noise?

The notification noise (for texts, and I don't know if it's for anything else) just runs forever and ever until I actually open handcent or the stock messaging app. I've looked through settings and don't see anything that clearly says it'll turn that off. How do you do that?
All my notifications only ring once. Is it handcent? Are you on a certain rom?

stock ROM
it only happens to texts. it happened before and after I installed handcent. it's annoying and weird
In your text app Go to Settings> Message Alert Repetition where you can adjust how often it will notify you.
Something Experimental...

I already turned off notifications in the stock texting app so it was like I don't have it installed without actually uninstalling it. I'll see if it's one of those things that magically goes away on its own after a while.
Did you try looking at the settings in Handscent for the same type of setting?
Something Experimental...
Yeah :/
Yep, your not alone. I have the same issue when using GoSMSPro. As best as I can tell this is an issue when you use a Third Party SMS app. FYI: I am on a custom ROM and have the issue. If I uninstall Go SMSPro the issue disappears.

Wake screen with a text(like iphone)

I came from an iPhone and when I got texts and emails my screen would wake to see it on the lock screen.
I am getting these notifications but my screen does not wake. I've even tried apps like Glimpse Notifications and my screen still does not wake.
Any ideas on a setting I am missing? Shouldn't it behave this way without an app? Over on Reddit a couple of T-Mobile users says theirs does it by default. I'm lost.
anyone? 62 views and no one has an idea?
Try going to Settings/Sounds and notifications/Notifications on lockscreen a.nd see if it is enabled. Not sure if this will help or not. Good luck.

Thanks, honestly I think it's a Sprint thing at this point. I've tried everything. Every setting.

This works, now I just need a better email solution to do the same. I think Aqua mail will suffice.
