Hay guys, this is my first real post outside of a few comments or thanks here or there so Ill try and make it good.
My question is this, I recently downloaded handcent sms and I rather like it, however I find it frustrating to get two text announcent icons in my notification bar. Is there anyway to remove the stock alert that anyone knows of?
Turn off notifications in the Messages app menu.
Ooh Shibby! Thanks, I totally didnt even consider that >_<
Quick question:
I seem to remember that when the little new SMS icon in the notification bar would appear, a drag down and click on it would take me to the whole SMS thread. However after flashing a new standard ROM, when i do this it goes to compose a new message. I also have SMS popup installed but cant see any setting in there that would cause this.
Any ideas how i can change this, so clicking the notification shows the whole SMS thread?
Edit your title so that people browsing can see what kind of help you need. Simply having [Q] as the title isn't really acceptable.
Hmmm, no idea how the title didnt go through first time...
Thanks for the heads up!
Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.
One thing I dearly wish for is for my notification windowshade to show me individual emails and text messages. I don't receive massive amounts of email/sms, maybe 50 a day in total. But if I don't immediately check my email or sms before another one comes in then all the windowshade does is tell me I have 2 new sms or 3 new emails. YOU DON'T SAY!! I knew that as soon as I turned the screen on cos of the icons on the notification bar.
Is there a way to have the OS separate out all the messages individually, so I can read the first few lines (just the way I can if I just have one message)?
Ideally I would also like a way to delete (not just dismiss) emails directly from the windowshade, without having to go into the GMail app. And no, I don't want to use a widget.
Any suggestions?
I'm still running Gingerbread, btw. I gave up on testing ICS roms a couple weeks ago (will probably just wait until there's a fully functional CM9 ready).
I don't think this is possible without modifying the specific Google apps, and even then it is something Google specifically wants to avoid... see here, ICS Design http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
scroll down to "Stack your notifications"
If your app creates a notification while another of the same type is still pending, avoid creating an altogether new notification object. Instead, stack the notification.

Well that's a real bummer
So theoretically a dev could implement notifications that don't stack. I wonder if someone would be interested in modding the GMail app in this way?
Hi chaps, I'm using Cyanogen 7 (and also MildWild which is based on CM and has same issue) and what I'm wanting to know is how do I turn on the text message notification counter? What I mean is that on receiving a text I get an icon in the status bar but what I really want is for the text message icon on screen to have a count of unread SMS's. Currently there is no counter and the icon in the status bar stays the same whether it's 1 or 10 unread text message. Is there any way to do this and if so, where is the setting for it? Thanks.
No setting for it. You can get an app for the message counter on the Play store. Or use another messaging app.
Oh that's a shame because I love everything else about both of these rom's. I love 'Sense' but it was just too 'laggy' for my likings hence the switch. Oh well I'll take a look around the store and see if I can find such an app, cheers.
I hear that handcent is a good messaging app.
