I like the look and feel of the standard SMS app, HTC Messages (I have tried all the others), but I have a problem with one aspect to it and I was wondering if anyone had a solution.
I like to receive a "message received" confirmation and so select in the setting to get one, but I also like to get a "popup" on the lockscreen of the message details - but if you select "display message on lockscreen", you also get a standard notification for message received. With all the other SMS apps you just get a tick within the message bubble (which you get as well with HTC Messages).
Is there anyway to still get a "message received" confirmation (as a tick within the message bubble), but no standard Android notification AND have a popup on the lockscreen?
Cheers

Hi, is there a way to make Ctext show all messages? I am after how the TF3D messages screen shows all text messages and allows you to scroll through them.
currently the Ctext app only shows new messages and if you have no new ones it says "no new messages". Also I would like to have a button to reply to these.
Is this possible? How?
thanks
yeah. thats the just of it.
ive had this problem on nonsense, and cyan6, and im sure im just over looking something.
when I get a text message, in my notification area, not only do I get the text, I get an additional message, stating the above. And my text message icon remains until i click the "new sms" message also, so annoying.
I can not find a setting, to let the regular text come through and alert me, and have the "new sms" message go away.
anyone wanna share some love with me?
i searched Q&A for a lil bit, but it seems like its just me maybe?
Thanks, anyone out there.
Are you using the stock Messenger or another one? Sounds like it might be Notifications turned on for different Messenger Apps.
I have no other messaging apps installed whatsoever, just the stock Messaging app.
And, to add on, the notification ICON i get, is a envelope style icon, instead of the standard Text message icon.
and when i click the "new SMS" notification, it just takes me to the stock messaging app / list view of messages.
SOLVED
****. It was coming from the app "Block SMS"
All it does, is auto-delete texts from certain numbers as soon as they come in, but there are no settings at all for alerts.
It doesn't even alert for anything else. JUST for new messages.
Thanks anyone for reading!
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?

Hi,
I have a problem with an sms hanging somewhere in the system but invisible in messaging. It happened when a message arrived during messaging freeze (sometimes happens but that's another story). Now I have a new message notification (green "1" mark in manilla) but the unread message can't be seen in messaging, so I can't delete it. When I delete any other message the notif. disappears but when another message arrives it appears again.
Is there a way to get rid of it? Maybe go to some database where the message probably is and delete it?
Thanks for any help.
btw. Multiple soft reset did not help.
I found the appropriate database with pocket mechanic but there is no message that I wouldn't see in messaging. So where the heck is the notification coming from?
Thanks.
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.
