Messaging Notification Help

When I get a text message I get this notification in my drop down bar that when i tap on just takes me to handcent, but it won't go away without me hitting clear in the drop down bar. it isn't the handcent notifier either. i don't think it is the regular messaging.app notification either as it wouldn't open handcent and it'd go away when I tap it. Here is a picture:

Did you make sure that notifications are shut off completely in the stock messaging app?

Yeah when I first installed. I can't even find the messaging app in my app drawer now. This has to be some sort of other notification because like I said it sends me to handcent and will not go away without tapping clear.

I'm really hoping someone here will be able to help me with this. It is annoying beyond belief I even had to disable my handcent notifications to stop the double notifications. I can't even check the default messaging app because it seems to not be here anymore, i don't even see it in system/app(s)
thanks guys
Edit: Incase you have signatures off I am running Cyanogen 6.1
Edit 2: Found messaging. Forgot I had it hidden with launcher pro. Notifications are definitely disabled on it too.

Update on this: I've went through every recently installed program and can find NOTHING that indicates some sort of notification. This is *really* bothering me because if I just reinstall CM6 I can't do a full system + data restore with titanium pro because i'll just be in the same boat.

I had this same issue with Handcent, and uninstalled it. Never knew why it would do that, so I turned to chompSMS. No issue since.

So I restored to the 21st (2 days before it started happening) and picked just a select few apps to restore, without data and solve it. I guess my only option now is going to be to do a wipe and fresh install, but I just don't feel like doing that right now. Really wish someone would figure out an easier way to do this
Edit: Guess i'm going to go ahead and wipe and reflash. Will let you know the results.

Yea well I can comfortably say an apparently doesn't cause it since when it happened to me I hadn't installed an apparently In days.

Ah okay. I don't think it was an app honestly. My belief is that it was some sort of corrupted data file. After I wiped and did a fresh install and redownloaded all of my apps from the market it works just fine.

If you dont like stock lock screen....Ripple it.....

Just installed 'Ripple lock' from markey(free). I know there is widgetlocker, and some/a lot of people prefer it. This is just another choice.
Gives a honeycombish lock screen, with choice of background/pic from your gallery.

Apparently the free version has ads displayed on the lockscreen.
If you use AdFree, you don't see them.

I cant be 100% sure if its related but after installing i found it wasnt for me, uninstalled and now my phone 'transistions' seem slower than before. For example opening contacts or whatsapp, the time it takes to open and fill the screen is slightly longer however my app draw still opens super fast as normal so i suspect its a setting somewhere. If anyone can help....?

Just incase anyone else experiances slow transistions or anything like that, i found that using nitrality from the app store, its a free app but you do require root, but its possible to control the speed of the transistions and effects....

You havent used it much then. It does not work great.
I use it and I like it but the truth is that it is full of bugs.
bugs
a) If you let the phone sleep you will have to unlock twice. First the samsung lockscreen and then the ripple lock screen. -this cant be reproduced always or I havent found the exact bug.
b) After making a call, I need to unlock ripple and then end the call.

He has made a couple of updates since. Which seems to have made a difference. Still alternating between this and livelocker though.
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.livelocker&feature=search_result
Just doesnt seem to be a 100% replacement yet. For some reason I don't get on with widget locker either.

I hope someday some devs here will port the Sensation lockscreen with its weather animation, I don't think it's very difficult, weather can be linked to stock weather instead of Rosie.
Widgetlocker is good but doesn't speed up the phone waking, I think we will have to wait for CM7 or MIUI

Its something to do with gingerbread. It deleted gallery for me, then messaging and today it deleted the clock. I took it to Verizon and they are sending me a new one. Hoping it has Froyo on it. May be something you could look into if you want froyo possibly.
You have to do a factory reset from the bootloader to get it to come back i think. Thats what did it for me.

It has nothing to do with Gingerbread, but rather the Gingerbread update. Most likely, it has everything to do with Sense and an update HTC did to it.
Good luck getting Froyo on it too.

Just ran the update. I had already done a factory reset and my clock was still working by tapping the widget prior to this update. After the update my clock still works but I still don't have the clock app in my app drawer. So I still either have to tap the clock widget or search for the clock app to get to it. Haven't noticed anything different yet.

Yes you have to factory reset the phone after the GB OTA update. My market disappeared and gmail after the OTA. Factory Reset fixed everything except for alarm clock. One can do it through the settings>sd and phone storage.

The alarm and clock app will most likely be broken until HTC fixes it. They know of this issue. Factory reset will not fix this.

Update is rolling out now. Check and you'll have it.

I assume those running a rooted GB Ginger Sense ROM for example should avoid updating ?

Smart Notive widget broken?

So anyway, I was using Aviate launcher for a time. Then the latest MIUI Express launcher, then back to Aviate. Then I decided to go back to the native launcher. When I did, the Smart Notice widget appeared as pictured. Removing and putting the widget back does nothing. How do I fix it? Or can I fix it? Is this a known issue?
If this info helps, my ROM is the latest SkyDragon. I doubt a launcher switch (well, two) can do this, but I could be wrong...

Hmm...never got a notification on this reply. Sorry. But no, the DPI was unchanged.
Actually, I came back to this post to let you all know that I solved the problem by dirty flashing SkyDragon. That fixed it. My theory is that MIUI Express somehow screwed it up. Two reasons for that theory: 1) I used Aviate before with no issues (as a launcher shouldn't affect that sort of thing, anyway). And 2) Miui Express is not only a launcher, it also affects the dialer and other things, which may have caused a glitch with system files (being that ME is pretty all encompassing). I have yet to test this by reinstalling it. It's a small inconvenience to dirty flash again and then flash MoAB again on top of it. But that's my theory right now. It's kind of a long shot, I gotta admit.
Anyway, thanks everyone, for trying.

This is what I see when I press the setting icon

Have you installed any apps recently? I'd start there. It probably asked for some permissions, such as notification access, so if you see anything unusual in there that could be it.

Its your keyboard-app. I bet you are using TouchPal.
It was the same for me. Touchpal is one of the greatest keyboard-apps IMHO, but lately they changed in the wrong direction with unwanted ads like 'Daily Summary' or 'Charging Lock Screen' or 'AppLock'.
I uninstalled it because of that.

Or the ES File Explorer app that recently admitted to presenting Ads in the lock screen.

But mainly, who kept the app(s) causing this issue? It'd be nice to know if anyone did and if this was a serious issue (which I doubt) or should i have read this entire thread plus the article before posting this?

Try Snapseed, Google acquired it because it was considered the best free photo editing app.
No point using an app that has that lock screen adware. They deserve to be removed from the Play Store for violating the rules of displaying ads outside of their own app.

Didn't Adobe make Lightroom free on Android?
