Hi guys,
I had an app on my blackstone some time ago that made an incoming sms messages popup at the bottom of the screen in a small window without me having to start the message app. I did a hard reset my phone today and are desperate to get this app back. I have searched this forum but I can't find the app anymore. Could someone please help me.
Thanks!
start->settings->sound & notifications->notifications->Event (select Messaging: New text message)->tick "Display message on screen"->click OK
Thanks a lot! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

no problem! i won't deduct any points for NOT knowing some pretty basic stuff (like displaying SMS on screen).!!! just kidding!! have a great day/evening!
don't know if it's ROM related or not, but when I was using Diamond, I could reply or delete sms that popped out. But now, I can only hide them. What's up with this?
Hi guys,
So i've seen and heard a lot about this forum and its my first post here so hello! I've recently bought an htc desire which is locked to the orange network (UK) and i was wondering whether it is possible to change the following things please? :
1) Menu > Photos and there is no link to picasa?! Why? Is it possible to add one please?
2)Same thing with friend stream. Is it possible to add a link to picasa please?
3) Lastly, when some 1 calls you, you get two buttons on the screen. You click on them either to accept or decline. Now instead of tapping on the buttons, is it possible to add a feature which allows you to slide to accept/decline ? (I think this might be a feature from the iphone?).
Thanks!
Sorry if this is a basic question guys. I'm an android noob here!

friend stream only includes facebook and twitter, you cant add anything else, as far as the menu goes unless there is a picasa app on the market no you cant, the desire has the slide to answer feature, you only get it if the screen is off when you receve a call ......

Hey folks,
I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.
Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.
It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.
Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.
Thanks

I have no trouble copying from my email... you long press, drag the highlight across your desired text, and then tap quickly... a toast messages appears saying that it was copied to the clipboard...
What ROM are you using?
Edit: Ah, I see you're also running CM7. You should have the capability.

I can copy/paste from gmail without issue by long pressing. But it won't work from the email app that I use for my yahoo account.

Yeah, I can copy/paste from my non-gmail email application too. Mine is AOL, but really it should not matter... that's weird it doesn't work you... lemme try something...
I just tried copying in gmail and it works the same as my other email...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bp.android.zarrow
maybe this can help you, it adds a possibility to have hardware copy/paste shortcuts
MENU+A -> select/deselect all
MENU+C -> copy selected
MENU+V -> paste
Thank you for the replies!
I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!
And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them
EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

I managed to download Z Arrow. I will test it out tomorrow, thank you.
I went back to my default build.prop at 240 lcd density and cleared the market cache. By the way, neither of this two things alone ever worked for me, but together it seems to do the trick and fix the incompatibility issue I mentioned earlier.

Hey what's up guys. Not sure if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if there was a way to activate the pop up browser without actually clicking on link. As many of you know we are somewhat limited on the applications we can use in split screen mode. But I noticed if I already have pop up browser open I am able to navigate to almost any application on the phone. It would be great to quickly look something up while already in a game or in an app that does not support multi window.
Any ideas?

Yes, I downloaded this and I'm positive it is exactly what you are looking for. It DOES work on my t-mo GN2 without a problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972869
here is a news post about it as well. http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...er-without-clicking-links-on-the-galaxy-note/
it is in pure apk form(simple dl and install) and will create an app. You could launch it without clicking any links, just like you would launch the stock browser.
I am 99% that is the one i downloaded and it works perfect for me
If I understood you correctly and this is what you're looking for, hit the thanks button if i I helped you out. Gl

Hi Lohtse,
Sorry! We had copied and pasted an ellipsized link. It's fixed now. Thanks! We have seen some issues on Xiaomi devices. We are working on them.
Regarding Refresh button, if you press the Inbox button again, it should refresh the inbox if there has been any new messages. Please let us know if this is not
what happens on your device. Once again, thank you very much!

Hi Lohtse,
Xiaomi devices allow only the default SMS app to access the SMS. Can you go to the Settings and change it (i.e., change the setting so it will not block other apps from accessing the SMS)? After doing this, please run Drextee Messenger again. Please let us know if it works properly or not. Thank you very much!

how would you suggest I do this as I have it ALREADY set to Handcent!
And that would not explain why it work sometimes but not others!
Also my partner has the Asus Zenwatch and Xiaomi Note 2 and no such issues!

Hi Lohtse,
Thank you very much for the information!
> how would you suggest I do this as I have it ALREADY set to Handcent!
If there is any option in the settings to block apps from accessing SMS, please toggle it to allow Drextee to access the SMS.
Otherwise, you can set Drextee Messenger as the default SMS app and open it on your watch
a few times to see if it crashes. Then, on your phone you can set the default SMS app back to Handcent.
Another test that you can do is the following,
send an email or Google Hangout to yourself. When you see the Drextee notification on your watch, open it and reply to it.
This will open Drextee Messenger on your watch. Please let us know if it crashes or not.
At this point, our best guess is that Drextee can't access the SMS inbox on your phone.
Once again thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Lohtse,
Do you mean it works after rebooting your phone or your watch?
We had a lengthy discussion about this issue today. It is possible that your phone OS kills the service which was started by Drextee. When you open Drextee on your watch, it tries to restart the service on your phone, but somehow it fails. Can you kindly do the following experiment and tell us what happens?
- Before opening the app on your watch, tap on the Drextee icon on your phone to open it. Then, open the app on your watch and see if it crashes.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience!

if it was the phone then My partner would have the SAME issue with her Xiaomi NOTE 2 and Zenwatch.
As to working it will work fro a short period after I reboot phone then will Force Close.
Now your experiment. It FC's but after SEVERAL attempt it opens(PHONE APP).... open on watch and then have to wait several minutes and if am lucky it refreshs the inbox....
"This application is not compatible with any of your devices" this is what I get in Google Play Store. I am using stock 6.0.1 firmware on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and stock firmware 6.0.1 on Sony Smartwatch 3.

Hi Sapiora,
We do support Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but the app cannot be downloaded from Bulgaria. The reason is that we don't support Bulgarian alphabet at the moment, hence the restriction. Sorry for the inconvenience and sorry that Google Play Store error message is not clear. I will contact you once when we add support for Bulgarian alphabet.
Thank you very much. I will expect that.

Hi Lohtse,
Thank you very much for doing the experiment! Although you and your partner have the same type of phone, the settings and the versions of libraries running on two phones might be different.
We have been trying to roost cause the bug, but no luck so far. We have released a new version. Please let us know if by any chance it fixes your problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience!

Well this the latest version is a little useless... been installed over 15 hours and never shown a text when its arrived nor does the inbox display ANYTHING either.. It is BLANK and refreshing does nothing!
Have uninstalled and reinstalled and same issues as mention in this and last post.. Partner now has SAME issues and hers was working fine before(as stated earlier)

seems deleting app cache and date then uninstalling and reinstalling corrects the issue
