DHD HTC Sense Lock screen problem - call and message preview - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, thanx for the help in advance.
This is the issue I would like to resolve with your help:
I have the new DHD and I love it, I am also pretty satisfied with the Sense UI, but there is just one thing that is annoying as hell:
The lock screen shows missed calls with names of the callers, and it also shows new sms previews. It does that even when the phone is PIN-locked. The only way to disable the sms preview is to disable the sms notifications, which I don't want to do. One workaround I found was installing handcent or chomp sms, but that doesn't solve the displaying of the missed call(er)s on lock screen.
This issue is present in the stock, as well as the LeeDroid.
I'm all out of ideas. Anyone? Please give me a hand. Thank you.

SMS showing on lock screen

Is there anyway to remove this & the missed calls? Kind of hte purpose of locking the phone ya know...
Yeah, exactly what I thought!
If you use Handcent SMS, which is much better than the stock app imo, you can enable, disable popup over the lock screen.
You can also tell it to show the popup so you can see who its from but not show the text contents.
i actually think that option is quite useful, being able to see if you have new mssages with one click
I like it alot too, i can see if it's worth unlocking the phone accoring th who did the missed call/sms or mail. It's the main reason why i like senses lock screen over androids stock!

if only it did it for emails too!
I realize it has been a while but no body came up with a solution.
I'm don't like the fact that anyone who picks up my phone can see the actual text message on my screen. Having the sms icon on the notification bar is enough, is there way to remove the text from the lockscreen?
Use pattern lock?

Even when using pattern lock, when you wake the phone you will first see HTC lockscreen. So it doesn't help...

No solution to this? It is the most annoying thing. I can not believe that there is no options to disable sms preview on the lock screen. I would make great donation for someone who can fix this
Buy widget locker from market. It replaces the while lock screen with a customizable one
I see no reason why its causing problem. Its only showing a little right?
yeah, it only shows the number (or name) and some words of the message (maybe the first 3?), not more. Don't see where it is such a huuuuuge problem or is your phone always in other people's hands?
well 3 words can make a huge problem, and yes my phone is very often in other people hands But I found a solution. with chomp sms there is a setting which disable this notifications...It is pain in the ass to use two different sms clients but it is better than nothing.
Well I guess a small option could've been included, but I can't see any real issue here really. Every tentht user here doesn't have a Facebook with hundreds of unnecessary people who can take participation in your private lives, and it is not considered a privacy issue, but three small words and a name on a lock screen are??
The real issue here is that your phone should be holstered in your pocket when not used, and not in other people's hands.
well IMO, the issue here is that, when you use a different app from stock one, the unread SMS count does not disappear when you read messages with a non stock app...
That's annoying!

[SOLVED] Screen Wake Up on e-mail or SMS???

Is it possible for the screen to wake up when you receive an e-mail or an SMS instead of just the ringtone you hear or the led?
When I used to have an iPhone, there was an app called push notification and it'd pop up a small version of your e-mail or your sms on your screen even when your phone was in the screen lock mode/sleep mode.
Anyways, just wondering if there is a way for this kind of stuff.
Thanks
Try Handcent.
or ChompSMS.
yea. handcent got option to hv pop up notification juz like iphone.. and u can choose to dim brightness or not when received sms.
oh ya, btw, nxt time pls do not anyhow start any thread in developement.. do it in general if u are asking qn..
thanks guys. I will definitely ask it in general. I just thought there might be a tweak for rooted phones for these features to become available, that's why I posted it here.
Anyways, really thanks for the responses. What about for the e-mail notifications? Anything for that?
Thnx again

[Q] Disable SMS Delivery Reports Notifications?

Hi,
Just moved from the Desire to the Desire HD and there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me. I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, and on the Desire, this was perfect. To see a delivery report, I just held on the message and tapped Delivery report. It would show, Delivered, Failed or Pending. Nice. Non-intrusive.
NOW, on the Desire HD, I've enabled Delivery Reports, BUT, I now get a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.
Does anyone know, cause I can't seem to find out how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification. I hope someone can help, cause in all honesty, this is a deal breaker for me with this phone!
Just moved to DHD fro Desire myself and I cant seem to be able to turn this off..any pointers please.
Thanks in advance.

This is a shame one HTC, if features like this can be taken out if it was already existing in older devices... not to talk of the low Speaker volume...Moving for me seem to be a bad decision.
I have SMS delivery reports turned on but get no notification icon.
This could be because I use SMS Popup app and have turned notifications in the HTC SMS settings (otherwise I would get double notifications).
The main purpose of SMS Popup is to show a pop-up of your SMS (funnily enough!) as you get them, but you can turn that off and just use it to customise your notifications icons and various other tasks. It's very unintrusive and in over 18 months of using it on different phones I've never had a problem with it.
Might be worth a try for you guys...

Also good for those suffering the dual HTC notification problem.
So... you have delivery reports turned on in HTC's settings right?

I'm pretty much the same. I played around with the Popup part, but don't like it.
In the "Default Notifications" settings in SMS Popup I have the following set:
Show a Popup - OFF
Enable Notifications - ON
Notify on Call - ON
Vibrate - ON (set at 0,350)
Blink LED - ON (Set at "Normal" Blink rate)
I've also turned on Reminders as I tend to miss messages
It's working perfect for me!

Brilliant! It's such a good little app. I originally tried Handcent, Chomp and a few other SMS apps but none were as lightweight, unobstrusive and reliable as SMS Popup. It's so easy to forget you even use it.
Great idea! Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!
Million times TNX for this...
Not ideally working whit sense 3 lock screen, but everything is better then that irritating sound and notification at status bar for report. Why HTC make this idiotic report after that so cool on Desire?? WHY??
Did any of you, or any of developers here on forum try to edit Mms app (Mms.apk)?
I try to find this in it, because if you turn off HTC notification then you no get sms on lock screen. I guess it's in some of these files:
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportAdapter.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportItem.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportActivity.java
Any one have idea how to find this? I use sense 3.0 Mms.apk
Me too, no clue .. sigh
I dont want to use that popup app, I chose android because of the notification system. How come there is still no fix to this annoying issue?

Some CM7 and GO DEV TEAM issues

Have been doing a bit more customising and almost set up properly but still a few hanging issues:
cormie said:
Sometimes when I unlock the phone, the brightness is set differently even though the ambience of where I am is the same, sometimes it could be dim and others bright and it doesn't really change.
Not fixed - CM7 issue
The Email app doesn't appear to be the best. It's very dark, is there any brighter theme available or maybe suggestion of another app for pop3 mail?
Not really an issue - APP Issue
I'm using GO SMS and unfortunately I'm still having an issue sending group messages, I've the option to seperate each message to each person into its own thread, sent a small group text, only to maybe 10 people yesterday and it split it into 4 separate threads, only 4 separate contacts who I sent it to as opposed to the 10, so where did the other 6 go? I couldn't check delivery status or anything.
Not Fixed -Possible App Issue, possible CM7 issue
Also with GO Dialer EX, I assume it's because I've over 1,900 contacts, but it freezes quite a lot if I'm going through my contacts/groups/adding new etc. Also you can't see the individual times of consecutive missed calls from one contact and if you have a missed call notification in the notification bar, clicking the notification used to clear the notification and bring you to the missed call screen, now it just brings you to the missed call screen but you have to go back to the notification menu to "clear" the notification, again, this didn't happen in sense and clicking to see the missed calls also cleared the notification. I also miss being able to just open up the dialer, press call on a blank field and it would call the last dialled, also with the way the call log is, I don't like that it groups the contacts together, I much prefer being able to see a log based on time only. Also by grouping the contacts together, you can't just click on a recent called contact and it will go to phone them immediately as you could with sense.
Not Fixed: App Issue, plus now discovered, if you have 2 missed calls, clear the notification and get 1 more missed call, the notification will come up again but say 3 missed calls
I miss the fact with Sense, you just clicked the clock and you got to your stopwatch/countdown timer/alarm straight away. Is there any way to get this back? Clicking the clock now brings me to a screen that isn't much use.
Fixed: App Issue - Got a separate stopwatch/countdown timer app and use stock alarm and using Go Weather widget
The included Calendar app widget has a few annoyances, you can't click a number to go straight to dialpad with from within an event, only 1 event is displayed in the widget and to go into details of that event you've to click into open the calendar first and then into the event. Again, the sense calendar app was better and you could also scroll through the events from the widget itself.
Fixed - Assigned swipe up and swipe down action to open calendar from home screen, this makes it just as quick as before to open the calendar app and gets right into the app, also I can now just click numbers and it opens the dialer, not sure what the issue was before but it's working grand now
Twitter widget is also worse than it was in sense, it only shows one tweet at a time as opposed to sense which you could again scroll down which is much handier if you're looking for say updates from AA Road Watch while stuck in traffic and you can just keep your eyes open for the AA logo on a scroll rather than clicking and clicking and clicking to see if they have any updates.
Not really an issue, I don't even use twitter that much
Calculator is too basic compared to sense one too
Fixed - Real calc
Another thing is I used to like to have "camcorder" shortcut instead of "camera" (I just feel it's better to have instant access to record something rather than photo it). You could easily then switch to camera if you want to photo something, there was no camcorder shortcut so I downloaded one, but it opens only the camcorder alone, as opposed to the same thing that you got when clicking the camera, in which you could easy switch between camera and camcorder. Any way to start that same thing, but just in camcorder mode by a shortcut?
Not really an issue, added camera and camcorder shortcut to home screens
Can someone also tell me if the CM7 "File manager" does the same as Astro? I installed Astro before realising there was a file manager there, guess there's no need for both so can I uninstall astro again? I'm only a very basic user that would be copying/pasting and installing apps via astro, so if this can all be done via file manager, I'll just get rid of Astro
Not really an issue, seems astro is better though, you can select multi select files in a folder to edit.move etc and just looks to be more options in general.

A few more issues then using Go Dev Team apps:
on froyo, I had handscent and loved the way if I got a text, the led would be a permanent blue until I read it. I checked this option in go sms too but it doesn't seem to be working at all. I tried flash on at 300ms and then off at 0, I also tried at 300/300 and it didn't seem to flash at all.
Have also noticed a bug in go sms where a different contact name could appear in someone elses text, which happened before with Handscent on froyo, was hoping it would have been fixed. I wonder is it go, or a bug with android itself that's causing this.
Hoping I can sort the above not fixed issues so any advice would be appreciated, the LED notification thing is a strange one, just doesn't seem to work at all for go sms but it may be something conflicting with the CM7 settings or stock settings? Any feedback appreciated!

Not sure what your reply means, are you on the dev team for go/cm7 or something? If so, have plenty of suggestions and bugs to report

[Q] 3rd Party M8 Call Notification App Issue

Hi All - I've recently being fooling around with apps like Floatify and Heads Up Notifications in order to have a more Android L feel to my notifications. I remember previously using Floatify on my old M7 and a call answer/decline would pop up when there was an incoming call. Heads Up Notifications is supposed to produce a similar pop up. I've disabled my lockscreen but no matter what settings I use, I still get the Sense call answer/decline screen on my M8. I'm in the process of checking with the devs but I'm wondering if anybody else has been encountering a similar issue. If so are there are any workarounds? I'm using Insertcoin rom. Thanks.
