so after scouring MANY pages on this forum in this section i cannot find the answer..could someone please direct me to a thread where i can figure out How do u stop ur texts from popping on the front screen on the htc evo thanx =)

Do you mean pop up notification? Or any notification? Cause the apps like handcent have an option to disable pop up.

If you're using handcent, go, ect, if you go into the settings, and disable popup notification. And then there will be another setting to not show it in the notification bar.

Bam! He's at it again. Clearing up my answer lol

I swear roxxor camps Q+A! lol
Handcent will do that. You can fix that with what rox said
If you are using the native default app, I am assuming you mean in the notification bar, you can change that in settings.

You can turn off notifications in stock SMS. You can use Handcent, as others have suggested. GO SMS is a lovely SMS application, too, that I currently love and use and it has the option of a "privacy mode" so that it only reads "New Message" instead of message text.

thank you all =)

Lol, I do come here often, but I also hit up the development board, themes/app, and sometimes general; I sometimes do stick around here a lil' more because I like helping the other users.

You can change the xml file in HTCLockscreen.apk to hide sms messgaes from showing. That is what I always do when I build my rom.

I have all the EVO threads favorited but my real favorites are q&a+general.

new message notification

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

oops my bad I should of been more clear... I'm talking about a second notification at the top of the screen not on the bottom dock, sorry

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

[Q] Handcent - New to Samsung

Just upgraded my Evo to the Epic 4G Touch, and I'm a fan of Handcent for messaging, and prefer its notifications over the stock messaging app. On the Evo, if you disabled notifications in the stock messaging app, you just didn't get them.
On this phone, I get notifications no matter what.
Any clues?

open stock app, press menu, uncheck notifications.
im using handcent like i did on evo and get no stock notifications. i also replaced the stock app button w/ the handcent app. only problem...it doesnt have a little counter showing me how many msgs i have.

Are you saying you're getting double notifications via both stock sms and handcent event though you've disable them in the stock app or are you saying you're still getting them from handcent even though you've disable them in the stock app?
In a nutshell, you'll get them from either or both if you haven't disabled the individual notifications in each app, i.e. stock sms and/or handcent. Make sense?

I believe there is a plug in in the market for that

a plug in that works similar to the handcent widget'? of the three interchangble scrolling buttons, only apps are allowed to be used. the handcent widget works fine, its just not selectable as a button i can use on the 4button scrolling bar.
OP did you disable notifications in the STOCK app and STILL get notified?

I have no issues with the notifications, however I do have Force close issues with Handcent on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the occasional freeze up? I usualy have to task kill it or wait till I get the force close option, but it happens pretty often.

SMS sound not playing

Hi everyone...
Got my s4 yesterday but I noticed the notification sound never plays when I receive an SMS...works for email, gchat but for some reason never for sms. I've tried doing a hard reset, going into sms settings, going into sound settings and nothing...Any ideas?

There is notification on sms setting menu too. Did u check that?

Yeah went into sms menu and checked it and unchecked it, changed sound still doesnt work

Mine stopped ringing after i installed handcent. Uninstalled it and it started working. Then I installed ninja sms and same problem. I'm guessing you can't have another type of sms app or it will stop the notifications from the stock messaging. Which is pretty weird since I've never had that problem on any of my other phones

I was able to fix it by just doing another battery pull which is weird cause i did it before but oh well as long as its fixed...I'm using the stock msging app
