Is there any way of getting rid of/cancelling/stopping these alerts from coming through? Is there a modified messaging app that I could install to remove these forced options?
I dont know about everyone else but I really dont have any use with these alerts especially forced alerts from this dictato.... errr President.
Any help with this would be really REALLY appreciated.
Lol! Agreed!
I've heard there are mods enabling you to deselect pres alerts. I'm not sure of more than that though.
Search around and I'm sure you'll find something. I'm interested in the cmas stuff anyway so ill let you know if I find anything. Be later though.

I was wondering if anyone who is running Synergy RLS1 ROM has working Facebook Push Notifications? If so could you help me in getting them to work? I have never had push notifications working on my phone and would like to pin point why it works on some EVO's and not others.
Edit: After doing some research on Google I stumbled upon this page that explains that having "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" in your app list on Facebook your push notifications will work. So I found someone who still uses a Blackberry (wasnt easy) and all I had to do was log into my Facebook on their phone and enable notifications and wait for my news feed to load. Then I just logged out. Went on my computer and sure enough the "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" appeared in my App list under account settings. Then on my EVO I just cleared the Facebook app data and logged in again and sure enough my Push Notifications were working. I have cleared the data before and it never worked so I dont know why having the Blackberry thing makes it work but it has for me. No more flooding my gmail inbox with Facebook crap... Please feel free to try this and post if it works for you.
The Facebook for Android app just sucks. I don't think anyone has done anything specific to get push notifications to work on their phone - some do, some don't.
You can set up push notifications through Friendcaster using your Gmail or something. I haven't actually done it because I don't use Facebook very often, but I know that the option is there. You can try that out.

I can tell this, it wasn't working when I was on stock froyo, not working still with what I have now. I don't think the FB devs are able to test it on all phones and roms, but then again, I don't think they pay much attention to bug reports. I must have sent them one report everytime they update that notifications are broken.
Friendcaster's a neat replacement, though.

Does anyone get facebook notifications i have not had any yet on my GN or does anykne know how to fix it?
Yeah I do. You should maybe try deleting and reinstalling the app? Or have you checked the settings with in the app an chcked that notifications are enabled?
Sign in on a blackberry and approve or w.e and then sign out. Now sign in on your android device and enable to notification with alerts (I use Facebook pop ) and enjoy push enabled Facebook... I can only imagine its a little more battery efficient not having to check every hour.

Hello all.. Ok here is a weird on, well maybe.. Does this happen to anyone...
SO I get a message and pull down my status bar, and click on it.. Lets say its John.. I go to Johns thread and see the mesage, and I notice it says a different name at top then john.. Lets say Rachel... I am in Johns thread and I send a message it goes to Rachel but shows up still in Johns Thread.. Essential meaning it goes to wrong person.. I have to stare at the top to make sure it is right person now.. It doesnt happen all that much but I have sent messages to people that I did not mean to because it had put a different name on the top...
Has anyone else seen this??? Any ideas?????? Its driving me nuts.. I have seen it on the Ratings in the market people have complained about it, but not sure if its handcent or something on my phone?

If people have complained in the market about the same problem its not your phone it is handcent... I don't use handcent so I can't really help you further than that... I would look into a different messaging app until that is fixed...

I've used handcent since my first Android device and have never encountered this problem, or any problems for that matter.

Welp, there's a free 'thanks' for ya. Anyway, I read about someone having this same issue, but I don't remember if they stated it was specifically for Handcent or not. Me personally, I've been using handcent for a while now, and I've never experienced this problem, nor am I now.
However, I rarely use the notification bar shortcut to get into handcent. I'm using the ICS lockscreen through WidgetLocker, and left circle is handcent, so that's what I do 99% of the time to get to my messages.
Not sure if it's an issue of getting there with the notification bar or not.
ill trying using the actual icon instead of the staus bar for a while, see if that makes a difference..
Just a thought (not sure that it would actually help) but have you disabled all options under the stock message application's settings? Also if you could post/pm your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
yes. at point stock was removed as well....
what do you mean post setting? example??
Have you tired reinstalling the app? Or clearing your Dalvik and cache? Clear app data?
This usually clears things up. I have never had this particular issue... Do you have any of Handcents add ons installed? Perhaps the issue is with one of those...? Just some thoughts
yes done all of that.. still not helping issue... it doesnt do it all the time either... just sometimes but annoying enough...
I mean post your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
what settings do u want? lol there are hundreds
There are not "hundreds". Mainly any that would be specific to app functionality and send/receive settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
well there are ALOT of settings within handsent that can be changed.......
but here are my send message settings
Comp check, is on
auto conver to mms
auto resize pic
quick attach
prevent resend
sms to email gateway are the only things checked...
In receive settings
handcent delivery report
auto retrieve
roaming auto retrieve
timestamp is default
self check
are all checked....
And you said you removed the stick messaging app from your system?

i did a wjile ago... hve it now made no difference....
what rom are you using? my wife has said this has happened to her. she is still using midNight 5.3 (EC05/Froyo); she can be technology challanged so I figured she either saved a phone # twice on 2 people. Trying to grab the phone away from her while she is feeding her words with friends addiction is tough though!
I have been using handcent since I had the moment and on my epic for over a year. I've never seen it happen. Not that I haven't had any issues with it; but they usually fix things. This seems really random though
im on acs ics v5.5... ive emailed handcent numwrous times about it.. no help yet
I've been using handcent for a very long time and also never encountered this problem. I've used about every single rom out for the epic since ec05 and had this app on my moment as well
So idk what could be wrogn.. I once had a problem where I sent a txt to the wrong person cuz of this app but its not the way u said it happened it was cuz of low signal and txts not sending so they started saving some as drafts and some kept retrying and 2 got mixed up and sent to the wrong people lol

yeah it is very strange.. and I have sent some messages that should not have been sent to that person.... But i never payed attention the top sender... It will say one name but show a different persons thread.. I just have to pay attention now and be careful not to hit send till I know the right person is at the top...
Does anyone know how to get rid of notifications you don't want. After I flashed the international ftf I started getting notifications from some app site. I hate getting a notification beep that is usually my email and it is only one of those.

It depends on which app you are referring to...You should be able to go into the "unwanted" app and inside the settings menu it would give you an option about notifications.
Another way is if you don't want any of them to "beep" is turn off the notifications sound in the phone settings

I don't know which app it is. It is just advertisements for a new website to download apps from.
Never saw that when I switched to the international firmware. Did it start doing that before you installed anything else?

Yes it did. I have found out it is from xapush.com. I have no idea where I got it. I haven't installed anything new but I have been deleting any app I am not using trying to get rid of it.
I think I may have solved this. Once I figured out it was xapush.com I did a search on XDA. There is another app called Airpush Detector which can find which apps are using Airpush and a few other similar "advertising" schemes. It turns out it was an app for Olympic information that I download two weeks ago. I just didn't use it until right after I flashed the International firmware.
Hi all,
Does anyone else have issues with the messaging app slowing to a crawl after a while? For me, after using it for a while it really begins to become slow to respond to things like the back button, opening a thread, etc.
Thanks,

Try setting it to delete messages after a certain number, typically around 200 or so.

My suggestion is to use another messaging app...I personally prefer chompSMS but theres also others with way more features and options than the stock messaging app and I never have freezing problems or anything like it..

It is already set to do that but I think that because I did a restore from a previous phone there are a lot more messages than the set limit. I never had problems with my other phone though with that many messages. Think I'll try using another messaging app as the other reply suggests and see how that goes.
When installing another sms app, would it be starting new or does it integrate with the existing messages on the phone and bring those threads over to the new app.
Thanks,
Ho'okani
The SMS is a globally accessible database. So any app can access it. Just make sure you turn off notifications for the builtin sms app.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Thanks guys. I'm going to give Handcent a try and see how that goes. Anyone know if you make Handcent your default messaging app, does that make it so messages no longer get added to the stock app's database? I ask that because I also use SMS Backup and Restore to backup my text messages.
Thanks,
