Is there a way to assign different notification sounds to individual contacts? I have the stock messaging app. Maybe through another app?
I use Handcent, which gives you full capability to customize notifications based on contact. I tend to have my phone on vibrate only most of the time, but I customized the vibrate pattern for a couple key people, for example.

Anyone ever notice if you just swipe away a new txt message in the dropdown, within a few minutes you get the same notification? You always have to open the txt message, then jump back out. I find this a pain since it tells you in the notification almost all message txt anyway. Does anyone else have this issue?

so after scouring MANY pages on this forum in this section i cannot find the answer..could someone please direct me to a thread where i can figure out How do u stop ur texts from popping on the front screen on the htc evo thanx =)
Do you mean pop up notification? Or any notification? Cause the apps like handcent have an option to disable pop up.

If you're using handcent, go, ect, if you go into the settings, and disable popup notification. And then there will be another setting to not show it in the notification bar.
Bam! He's at it again. Clearing up my answer lol

I swear roxxor camps Q+A! lol
Handcent will do that. You can fix that with what rox said
If you are using the native default app, I am assuming you mean in the notification bar, you can change that in settings.
You can turn off notifications in stock SMS. You can use Handcent, as others have suggested. GO SMS is a lovely SMS application, too, that I currently love and use and it has the option of a "privacy mode" so that it only reads "New Message" instead of message text.
thank you all =)

Lol, I do come here often, but I also hit up the development board, themes/app, and sometimes general; I sometimes do stick around here a lil' more because I like helping the other users.
You can change the xml file in HTCLockscreen.apk to hide sms messgaes from showing. That is what I always do when I build my rom.
I have all the EVO threads favorited but my real favorites are q&a+general.

I've been using handcent since I got my EVO at launch. But I just remembered about the message being displayed on the lockscreen with the stock messaging app, and I actually miss that now. I hate the pop up feature that handcent has, but does anyone know if its still possible to have the message on the bottom of the lockscreen? Even if there's another messaging app that has the feature. I just like having my own custom look. Is there maybe an app for it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Well I don't know of an app that will do that. You can try Go sms, but handcent just give you that full popup, or use stock messaging, which no one wants to do that.
I am -.- lol got tired of people reading my God damn texts. Stupid pop up poop lol.

I believe handcent has an option to turn off the pop up. If it doesn't. Chompsms then.

it does have the option, and I have it off, I just kinda miss having the message show at the bottom of the lock screen like with the stock messaging app.

Keep in mind, enabling any pop up options in handcent will cause a wakelock until you acknowledge the message. If you get a text a midnight and don't read it til 7am, your phone will be wakelocked for 7 hours, resulting in battery drain.
Oh wow. That's why I deleted that piece of crap. Stock messaging app is reliable..except for the occasional 'miss-click'

Just upgraded my Evo to the Epic 4G Touch, and I'm a fan of Handcent for messaging, and prefer its notifications over the stock messaging app. On the Evo, if you disabled notifications in the stock messaging app, you just didn't get them.
On this phone, I get notifications no matter what.
Any clues?
open stock app, press menu, uncheck notifications.
im using handcent like i did on evo and get no stock notifications. i also replaced the stock app button w/ the handcent app. only problem...it doesnt have a little counter showing me how many msgs i have.

Are you saying you're getting double notifications via both stock sms and handcent event though you've disable them in the stock app or are you saying you're still getting them from handcent even though you've disable them in the stock app?
In a nutshell, you'll get them from either or both if you haven't disabled the individual notifications in each app, i.e. stock sms and/or handcent. Make sense?
I believe there is a plug in in the market for that

a plug in that works similar to the handcent widget'? of the three interchangble scrolling buttons, only apps are allowed to be used. the handcent widget works fine, its just not selectable as a button i can use on the 4button scrolling bar.
OP did you disable notifications in the STOCK app and STILL get notified?

I have no issues with the notifications, however I do have Force close issues with Handcent on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the occasional freeze up? I usualy have to task kill it or wait till I get the force close option, but it happens pretty often.
Hello,
I currently like the way the stock messaging app is, and have been unsatisfied with Handcent and GoSMS. My only only gripe is how the screen turns on when a SMS is received. I installed FreeGS3 and was moderately satisfied with it, however once it came to phone calls I had an echo of myself through my speaker, despite whether or not I have a headset plugged in or a bluetooth headset. So I reverted to stock again, but really like the SMS options that they had in FreeGS3. I'm not here to fix the echo, so please do not bother, I am not a noobie but this is the first post I've ever done on XDA as I am not a big question asker. I generally figure things out on my own but am stumped.
I tried installing the FreeGS3 messaging app (SecMMS.app) and it does not show the advanced options that show up in FreeGS3. Is there any way to stop the screen from turning on on stock [rooted] when I receive an SMS? Obviously the makers of FreeGS3 managed to implement that setting in the messaging app, so did I copy the wrong app?
Thank you!

That's the exact option that I'm looking for, however it is not in stock Sprint, as indicated in my screenshot here:
I know FreeGS3 by Team Sonic added it back somehow.

[awaiting my minimum post count to ask the teamsonic developers how they modded the stock app]
You might be able to just replacd your mms.apk with the other one that has that feature...might work, might not

Can someone tell me if there is a way to stop the screen from turning on when I get an SMS as well as stopping the SMS from appearing on the lock screen? It's very annoying and I'm sure over time it cuts into battery life.
Thanks.

Settings in message app and uncheck preview message.
Theres no way to prevent the screen from waking i dont think...custom roms only.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to wait for a ROM then.
Thanks again.
Problem is with preview unchecked you still get a box on your lock screen minus the text info. I believe it just says "message".

chomp
use chomp sms. its quite fast, more customizable than the stock messaging app and actually has an option from preventing the screen wake. i cant say for the other sms applications though, but chomp is good
I have been using Go SMS for years. I really like the customization and settings. You can turn off stock notifications and eliminate the screen wake issue.
