[Q] Messaging issue - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a quick question here, I tried having a look for an existing thread relating to it but no luck.
On my Desire HD I have a bit of a messaging issue. About 50% of the time when I receive an SMS it doesnt notify me in anyway. The only way I will find out I have these messages is by going into the messages folders itself. The other 50% of the time it notifys as normal - sound, led and icon in top bar.
Any ideas here?
Cheers
Ronan

what ROM are you running or is it stock??
it could be that you need to change The LED settings in the App itself or under settings depending on what ROM you are running.

Stock ROM. Its not just the LED though, no form of notification what so ever.

looks like its an issue after the update. Apologies for the duplicate thread

[Q] Keep LED flashing on notification

Hi all,
Is it possible to make the LED flash indefinitly when receiving a notification that makes the LED flash?
I'm running NextSense, but I'd like to know if it'd be possible on stock as well.
Thanks

Yes, I want this too.
By the way, Handcent SMS can do this; however it doesn't interact quite well with the stock sms app, and I don't want to use Hadcent UI as it's ugly as f***
However, you may like it. It can also set different LED colors and LED flash interval etc. Pretty neat, and IMO showing it should be possible to implement similar functionality into the stock messaging app...

Custom roms and LED colour noticfications

Hey guys, with any custom rom I have tried my LED notifications aren't working as correctly as they would have done when running my factory standard Desire.
With any custom rom, the LED will only illuminate green for few apps and charging. Before rooting etc with apps such as Go SMS I could set sms messages to give a pink led notification but other colours such as this don't work at all now with a custom rom.
Is there a workaround with this issue or could it be a fault with my device?
Regards, DJM.
hi,
yes there is a work around, just look to the market for a app called led me known
Thanks dude, shall give this a try.
Are there any other modifications I can try?
about what you mention... no led me know would be enought to sort this
Hi,
I downloaded 'Led me know' from the market but my LED is still not showing when i receive a text message.
I'm having this problem only on InsertCoin latest stable rom (CM7). Is there a fix i can apply myself instead of waiting for a update of the rom?
Thx in advance!
Hi,
It s advice to uncheck notification from settings sound and display and set notification with only led me know.
Dunno about your rom, i would ask this on thred 'dev.
You can test the notification behaviour with led me know

Go SMS question

I just recently switched to Go SMS from Handscent. Mainly because it has been taken off the market. Anyways, Go SMS is fine but I have one minor gripe. When receiving a picture and opening it, it opens in its own stupid viewing program. I hate it cause it downsizes the picture super small forcing you to hit the zoom button 5 times to see it. So far I just hit the save button then open Quikpic and view it there, but is there a way to make it just use Quikpic straight from the message like all other message apps do?
Settings/MMS settings/preserve image resolution. That might solve your image size issues. Don't know how to get it to open in another app for viewing. Suppose you could long press the image.
yeah that didnt help. I see handscent is back on the market maybe i will switch back.
I use go on my EVO and I dont notice any decrease in res I long press message then save attachment to sd

I didn't want to start another GoSMS thread, so:
Does anyone else use a custom ROM and your SMS notification no longer lights up after receiving a text in GoSMS? I used to get a blue LED, flashed ACS ICS v4, and now I can never tell when I get a text!
Thanks!

Ics is still under development this might be just a bug but just in case check your setting there are a lot of custom options for led settings

Ha! whoops thought I was in my EVO forum..
Same applies though could be a rom specific bug my wife has gosms with cleangb rom and no problems.. Tinker around with your setting for GO SMS and even double check native SMS settings for any conflicts

I have the same issues with my GO SMS. I'm also on ACS ICS V5.1. I think it's just specific to the rom itself. I just switched it back from blue to red led flash. It's not blue, but at least it still notifies me.

I have GOSMS and running ACS ICS 5.5. Changed my LED to blue and it lights up and flashes just fine. I'm sure it's in the settings but when I get a MMS, I recieve notification from GO SMS and the Stock Messenging app. I have GO SMS set up to turn off all other notifications but MMS still comes through on both.

New message notifications in status bar - PRIVACY?

Hi,
I'm using stock ROM and stock messaging app and have selected in the options not to display the name or content if new messages in status bar but it doesn't work and still displays it!!
Any ideas please?

Is it any surprise I'm getting rid of my one x literally less than one week after buying...have been quite disappointed with the one x and 52 people read this without any response or confirm if they have a similar issue or not...it would have took 30-60 seconds!
Should have stuck to Samsung's...we'll unfortunately I've already sold my s2 so i guess it'll have to be the new beast s3...
Thanks to those a few that did help on a few things but generally the one x forum is a little cold for me compared to the Samsung just like the HTC phones!

The problem you posted is a little obscure, I've not seen it mentioned in any other threads, perhaps nobody has come across the same issue yet? If people don't know what the answer is then they won't post. The fact that it had so many views and not one response suggests that this is the case and it's not a case of the forum posters ignoring you.

Are you talking about the option Messages--->Menu--->Settings--->Notifications-->Notification Preview, untick the option but the message will still be shown if you pull down the status bar??
From testing on my phone, when you untick the option, and get a text message...I get no preview on the lock screen, the message icon on the status bar (with no preview) but the message is there when you pull down the status bar. To truly get rid of it (no message in the pull down status bar) is to disable Received Notifications but that's counter productive as you get no alerts!
I will test on my Xperia Arc (when I get home from work) and see if it does the same (I have a funny feeling that it will do the same)
I beleive it maybe a generic Andorid thing in terms of messages appering on the pull down status bar (perhaps the more experienced guys and clarify)

Hi thanks that's correct...i still see the preview when you don't with the same settings!

It's not that no one has anything to say, it's that no one actually cares about the preview - it's MY phone so I want to see the messages. Do you share your phone? If not, it's a complete non-issue IMO

So you still see the preview on your lockscreen? Or in the status bar? Because that setting doesn't change the status bar preview, just the lockscreen one. But if in the Personalize settings you have the lockscreen type set to notifications preview, it'll show regardless of the messaging settings.

Use GO SMS Pro or Pansi SMS from the Play Store. They're far better then the default SMS app anyway, you'll find many more actually useful options along with your privacy setting, and they also have individual settings for specific contacts, so you can choose only messages from a certain contact to not show in the status bar, if that matters. Works both while using the phone and in the lock screen. The individual settings feature is included with GO SMS and is a plugin for Pansi SMS.
And don't be so impatient. It's not that everyone who reads a thread has to have an answer and reply. Don't go by how many views the thread has got and wait a day or two. There have been so many threads I've read for which I don't have an answer. It's not that people don't care, they'll most certainly help if they know how or have experienced the same thing. Almost everything can be solved, being impatient won't help. Similarly, why would you want to be hasty and get rid of such an awesome phone, that too over such a tiny issue? IMO, phones should only be returned if there's a problem hardware-wise. Not because of app-related problems or operating system problems. There is almost always an (often better) alternative for these things (apps & ROMs).

Hello, problem will remain if he keeps the stock app.
I had two notifications using handcent SMS.
I had to disable the notification from the stock app and only activate handcent notifications and it works perfectly now.
But the stock app is always living by its own without notifying me anything.
You have different notifications : mails, SMS, facebook, twitter, etc.
Which ones are still remaining ? SMS ? Mail ?
And then you also have the reports from sending SMS, this should be also disabled
or you will have receive reports for each SMS you send ...

SMS Popup (Led Working)

Yo! I've been using SMS Popup for some time now and just realized that the led blinking rate and different colors have been working flawlessly ever since I updated my modem/baseband to UVLI3 with Ktoonsez kernel on WildChld's v70 rom. I know there is the Light Flow app, but I just find this a lot more simpler and more useful. Here's the play store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
Enjoy!
SICK!!! Thanks so much for posting this.
The notification (red circle that says 1) on the message icon stays even after I send the message through SMS Popup (yes I disabled notification on stock messenger). Does the notification stay for you guys?

Not sure if the colors work on stock. At least they didn't when i was running stock. To test the colors, I had to send myself test texts.
Ok so on stock you say these wont work at all eh? Ugh.. personally I hate how stock even handles LED anyways.. seems to always cut off. I just dont wanna change roms till official JB comes out and roms are based on it.

Anyone using stock rom with LED stuff working?
Seems like a cool app. Just downloaded it. Hope to give it a good run.
Oh its a very good app. Been here since Htc G1 days. Why Google never added it as an option. No clue. Just wish LED light would work on stock.
