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.

Disable annoying roaming sound

Hi I am about to rip my hair out. I live Boston and ride the train everyday. I use this time to watch movies. I chose the epic for its beautiful screen and video codecs.
However, I am unable to enjoy my train rides because of this really annoying sound whenever I am roaming...which every three seconds in train tunnels. Its also really embarressing for others to hear it.
I have already disabled Roaming Guard to stop the stupid warning screen but I cant figure out how to stop the sound.
Please help.

Try putting it on vibrate see if the sound goes away

There is no way at this time to disable the loss and gain of 3G signal. It has plagued everyone.

With this setup, I hear calls, and media, but my texts only vibrate. Also, I never hear the battery popup, or roaming beeps. Hope this helps.

Another option is to use roam control before starting your train ride to force it on roam only and will only make that noise once then after ur done w/ train ride can put it back to auto so its not switching around on you...

Sorry I haven't had time to reply. When I use the vibrate suggestion I get skips in my vide music. On the trip home I turn on my Relax playlist that has like soft indie jazz and blues to unwind from my job (pawn shop).
I'm gonna try he roam thing...it is really annoying. I switched from an Evo and I'm starting to regret it. Is there ANYWAY to stop this?? Is there ANY rom that can bypass it, or any app? In the matter of twenty seconds my phone roamed in and out which made get a headache. Sorry to sound like a baby its but its fustrating that you can't remove this..."feature".

Someone on another thread was saying everytime the train went into a tunnel, all the Android phones would chirp like the traincar was filled with crickets. I can't believe this hasn't been fixed/modded yet.
I went looking for the offending ogg file but couldn't find it.

If it was that easy it would have been removed a long time ago. It is built in somewhere...maybe in framework or core system.

Still no fix for this?

Hasn't been in the year the phone has been out so probably won't be. It has been looked at by the best we have and no one can find where it is called from. It is baked in somewhere.

[Q] Why is my Phone Talking When I Select Home Pages by Pinch to Select?

Talk back is disabled. Just out of paranoia and annoyance, I enabled it and then disabled it.
This happened after I installed Light Flow, but, I seriously doubt the two are related.

It is related, same thing happened to my phone. Disable Light Flow and the talking stops... I sent them an email, but never heard a response.

Wow, ok. I'll send them an email too.

Here's how I got it to stop (annoying I know but it's the only way to stop it without it coming back!) it happened even after i uninstalled light flow!, also with deleting the data on the Google text to speech engine /samsung tts, worked but the problem returns after a while.. So here's what yu do.. Go to settings - accessibility - and make sure ALL services are OFF, then your problem will go away! I think this is also happening with other apps besides light flow that use accessibility as other users have reported... but I can't confirm as I noticed it also after installing light flow.. But I can say that even after un installing the application (light flow) the problem was still there.. You'll also notice this same problem when you open and close a FOLDER... Hope I helped you

Yes- if you stop all the services, then your stopping Light FLow, so this answer does get the voices (on your phone, not in your head) to stop, but doesn't answer the question of how to keep Light Flow and disable the voice...

[Q] How to get lockscreen back to stock in stock rom?

I can't believe I am actually asking this as a question. But I was neither capable to remove some 3rd party lockscreen from my gf's entirely stock SGN (rom-wise), nor did I manage to google for help.
Tried Go Locker and LockBot. I can choose a different Lockscreen but this new fella is now before the one I try to get rid off. So we actually have 2 lockscreens now. The 2nd one is easy to switch back off but the one below stays right where it is.
Here's what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, you can set the phone to lock pattern. Works fine except for the lockscreen that again succeeds all other lockscreens. It's always the last barrier before you can use the phone.
Please be so kind and let me know where else to look for turning it off

The lock screen app your using, need to be deactivated... if that cannot happen, go to settings----applications---find that app----open it-----and press clear defaults-----bang problem solved

Thanks for the reply. My girlfriend says she never installed a lock screen app (intentionally). I was suspecting the range of Go products but uninstalling most of them (after going through all of their settings) didn't help either.
The question is what app might have caused it. And why isn't there an app that lets you default to stock? That's why I installes Go Locker and LockBot in the first place.
Actually this is quite a tragic flaw in Android. My gf totally diggs her shiny new SGN but is totally pissed by this lock screen. She never wanted it. She hates it. Now she starts hating the phone. She said she wanted a replacement...

Or figure out what app it is. If it isnt installed anymore, reinstall it. Go to app info and before u uninstall it clear defaultz clear cache and data then uninstall.. i dont know if it makes a difference but thats what i do with every app i uninstall

Holy crap, dude! You nailed it. Rogue app called "Simply Locks". Is the on-phone search still disabled? because I used it to search for "lock" but it did not find Simply Locks.

How do I get my notifications like this:

Here's what I want:
Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me. When they call me the phone VIBRATES only. No sound.
For all other notifications (texts, 3rd party notifications, emails, etc...) I want the LED to pulse. But the phone won't make a sound or vibrate. Then when I wake my screen, I see the notifications on my screen.
Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through. Volume all the way off and set to vibrate only. The LED pulses when I get texts, emails, etc. but I do not see the notifications on the lockscreen when I wake the phone. I did for awhile and I must have changed some setting because now they are not there. So I'll see the pulse, then I have to unlock it and the status bar shows the notification symbol for text, email etc..
Any help?

If you go to your Interruptions setting, you can choose which notifications to display. Or long press the icon in your notification tray.

Might you have possibly set it to "sensitive"? That doesn't seem like the behavior you're looking for, though, unless I'm misunderstanding you, Gzan23.

I thought this was standard Lollipop procedure, but maybe I'm remembering things differently. It's under Sound & Notification; Notifications; Apps; and you pick the app you want to modify.
