Is haptic feedback slider turned down? If so, turn that up. That might help.

My problem is just the opposite! I updated my Epic to Gingerbread and now I cant get the dang thing to stop vibrating! And the vibration is INTENSE! I have the settings to Vibrate: Never and the Notification Ringtone to Silent .. yet every time i get a txt message, its like an atomic bomb going off! Help!

Thanks for the help guys. I installed handcent sms, unchecked and checked all relevant settings, rebooted, and it's back!

[Q] An odd question regarding handcent sms

I just started to notice that the blinking notification light turns off after about a minute. Thought it was the phone until I installed on my wife's Evo with the same results
Any ideas? Please let me know. Thanks.

[Q]Handcent lockscreen notification?

I've been using handcent since I got my EVO at launch. But I just remembered about the message being displayed on the lockscreen with the stock messaging app, and I actually miss that now. I hate the pop up feature that handcent has, but does anyone know if its still possible to have the message on the bottom of the lockscreen? Even if there's another messaging app that has the feature. I just like having my own custom look. Is there maybe an app for it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Well I don't know of an app that will do that. You can try Go sms, but handcent just give you that full popup, or use stock messaging, which no one wants to do that.
I am -.- lol got tired of people reading my God damn texts. Stupid pop up poop lol.

I believe handcent has an option to turn off the pop up. If it doesn't. Chompsms then.

it does have the option, and I have it off, I just kinda miss having the message show at the bottom of the lock screen like with the stock messaging app.

Keep in mind, enabling any pop up options in handcent will cause a wakelock until you acknowledge the message. If you get a text a midnight and don't read it til 7am, your phone will be wakelocked for 7 hours, resulting in battery drain.
Oh wow. That's why I deleted that piece of crap. Stock messaging app is reliable..except for the occasional 'miss-click'

[Q] vibrate for phone only?

I'd like to vibrate on phone calls only and not sms, other basic Samsung notifications. Is there an app, workaround to make this possible? The default settings don't offer this option. Stock sms app preferred, not gosmspro.
Thanks!

each app has its own settings for sound and vibrate
you can configure SMS to not vibrate
and keep phone only to vibrate

[Q] Stock Messaging App Settings

Hello,
I currently like the way the stock messaging app is, and have been unsatisfied with Handcent and GoSMS. My only only gripe is how the screen turns on when a SMS is received. I installed FreeGS3 and was moderately satisfied with it, however once it came to phone calls I had an echo of myself through my speaker, despite whether or not I have a headset plugged in or a bluetooth headset. So I reverted to stock again, but really like the SMS options that they had in FreeGS3. I'm not here to fix the echo, so please do not bother, I am not a noobie but this is the first post I've ever done on XDA as I am not a big question asker. I generally figure things out on my own but am stumped.
I tried installing the FreeGS3 messaging app (SecMMS.app) and it does not show the advanced options that show up in FreeGS3. Is there any way to stop the screen from turning on on stock [rooted] when I receive an SMS? Obviously the makers of FreeGS3 managed to implement that setting in the messaging app, so did I copy the wrong app?
Thank you!

Try using SMS popup as you SMS notifier you can turn off that screen on option in that app.

That's the exact option that I'm looking for, however it is not in stock Sprint, as indicated in my screenshot here:
I know FreeGS3 by Team Sonic added it back somehow.

Any updates as to unlocking that setting in the app?
[awaiting my minimum post count to ask the teamsonic developers how they modded the stock app]
You might be able to just replacd your mms.apk with the other one that has that feature...might work, might not

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?

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
