[Q] Individual Notification for text messaging? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there a way on this phone to change individual notifications for contacts and text messages? What I would really like to do is mute text messages just from a certain contact. Is there an app I can maybe even download that will help with this?

Handcent will do what you want...

Either Handcent or Go SMS either one would actually do what your asking for some have said Handcent has a wake lock but ymmv but usually use Go SMS

change sms indicator to voicemail?

I've looked, noticed a few asked, but no answers.
Is there a way to change the SMS indicator on the HTC Home screen to indicate voicemails instead of sms messages? As it is it's useless and taking up space since I never send or receive sms or any text messages.
From the launcher screen I'm trying to put a shortcut to the Settings folder. In Blackwood by gthing, he has a shortcut to launch the Programs folder, I'd like to do the same with the Settings folder.
Thanks,

Mail and Text problems.

I have handcent (which I prefer to the standard HTC text) but whenever I receive a text I get alerts for both the HTC text AND Handcent. So I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar. I've been looking for ages to find a way of disabling the HTC text but can't find anything.
Also I have a virtually identical problem with emails. whenever I receive email to my Gmail account, I receive two notifications, one for Googlemail and one for Mail. Again, I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

you don't need to open the message, just scroll down (pull down) the notification bar and on the top right it should say "Clear" and that will get rid of any notifications you have got exept for music when its playing or any other program you've got running that has an icon on the notification bar..
hope this helps!

Switch off notifications in the "Messages" app (within app untick Menu->Settings->Received Notification")
Switch off notifications in one of "Gmail" or "Mail" (similarly can be done via settings in Gmail/Mail.)

Thanks for that, I have actually done so but I still have a problem when receiving texts. When a text comes in, I'm presented with the text displayed in the stock messaging box, I have to close that and open handcent to reply - which is quite annoying.
Any thoughts?

This is the answer because that's exactly what myself and many others have done. I can tell you that it works.
You must have unchecked the wrong options.

When you say the "stock messaging box", are you referring to the HTC widget? If so, you need to remove this. Also, have you ticked "Enable popup" in Handcent's notification settings?

[Q] Delivery report notification?

Does anyone know how to stop the notification for delivery report or at change the tone? Right now it is set to the same tone as my sms notification and I can't seem to find a way to change it. It's really annoying because I always think I get a text but it is the delivery report. I would just change to a third party sms app but I like how my sms show up on the lock screen with the stock app. Any suggestions?
If you go into Settings in Messages you can set the notification tone for received messages and if you scroll further down you can disable the notifications for sent and failed messages and also set a different notification tone than your received one.
Sorry for the long run on sentence. My brain isn't functioning too well today.

Yeah, the notification for sent message is off right now. There doesn't appear to be an option for delivery notification which is different from sent message. It's the little checkbox thing next to texts when you send an sms to people on the same carrier.
Found it (maybe?). Settings, Text messages (SMS), deselect Delivery Reports. Also appears to have it under Multimedia Messages.
Yeah I still want the delivery report icon next to my texts, I just don't want a notification. If I uncheck it I lose them completely. That's how it has been for every other sms app I have used. I guess I'll have to just live without them.

Flash notifications

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's any way to enable flash notifications for all notifications rather than just incoming calls and text messages.
I'd like to use it for emails and messenger. Any ideas?
Anyone? I'm sure it's something useful for many people.
