I am using WidgetLocker along with Go SMS Pro. I really like the popup feature, but I dont want it to popup when I am on my Lockscreen in WidgetLocker.
I causes me to miss out on some sms because when WidgetLocker locks my screen again after the popup GO SMS think it is because I have read the sms, and then it removes all notifications of ever receiving a new sms.
When using stock lockscreen the popup is visible after unlocking my screen, but not i WidgetLocker. Any solution to get this working? It works find with Handcent, so I guess this has something to do with GO

Go into WidgetLocker settings, and then Popups. Click the box that says "Hide SMS Popups" and see how that works. If it doesn't work, you might have to figure out the package name of the GO SMS alert and do "Hide other".
Hide sms popup doesn't work, go sms seems to override it.
Under "hide others" I got rid of the popup, but it also removes all kinds of notifications from GO SMS. I used com.jb.gosms
This is a bug in GoSMS. GoSMS is prematurely dismissing the notification when their activity is paused, even if the activity is paused by the system like during an incoming phone call or when WidgetLocker takes over. The Android API provides onUserLeaveHint specifically for an activity to use to know if it should dismiss the notification or not, however GoSMS does not use this.
I've contacted them multiple times about this issue and received no response.
A user has reported a work around, though it's suboptimal:

The work around with gosms/WL to make the led blink on new messages is to always have an unread text. Use whatever means you want, sent yourself a text; I use something simple, "DO NOT ERASE". Upon receipt, do not open, or if you have popups enabled, press 'to do', which leaves it marked unread. Now, for any new texts received, the led will always blink.

how about just putting the gosms widget on the widgetlocker lock screen? That way the last message received will always be there.
I am not interested in having a sms widget on my lock screen.
Regarding the "fix", my phone dont have a notification Led. It this wont be sorted out soon I guess I have to look for a different SMS app, even though I think GO SMS is the best one (except from this bug).
Have you tried Noled? I haven't tried it with GoSMS as I use Handcent but I don't think Go will overide it's notification once activated.
Rather than start a new thread, thought I'd ask if anyone else was able to hear their notification sound when receiving a message as I haven't

I'd say give his suggestion a try anyway. Even though the phone doesn't have a physical LED, the OS itself still supports it, and that might be more important than anything. It's very possible that it'll still work.
gosms released an update yesterday which supposedly fixes this problem.
Hmm, no update in marked for Go sms as I can see
That's weird mine updated and is working fine now
The update showed up today. It is better now, but the popup still gets on top of WidgetLocker, but now it dont remove the notifications when the screen get locked again.
Only thing missing now is "quick compose"
Hey guys title says it all. I feel like there has to be a way to disable this feature.
I KNOW that going into notification settings under the messenger app allows you to completely kill all notifications, but I just want to disable having the screen wake up everytime upon receiving a text, BUT still be able to vibrate.. \
It seems like the only way to have the one fixed is to kill both? Maybe I am missing something.
Maybe a third party SMS app like GO SMS or Handcent?
I was wondering if anyone has found a way to remove the notifications from the lock screen that come from the stock messaging and dialer apps?
I want to use the stock sms app but the notifications take up an entire widget panel when I have an unread message and I simply prefer to have my clock of choice always in default.
hi there folks. so, theres apps like whatsapp and many others that show you a notification of someone who texted you in the drawer, and then you swipe it left or right to dismiss it, but after some minutes the notification shows again. is there anyway to dismiss it and it not come back to the drawer?

It is quite a problem with whatsapp only i think, other i use halo to dismiss all at once.
But good question here for dismissing specially whatsapp notification. :good:

Having same problem. No tone. Just icon ontop. App is not sleeping or restricted at all
It is not a perfect solution but use the Edge Lighting. It will light up the entire edges green if you choose applications colour and show a popup with the message which can be interacted with. As an addition you can turn AOD on and it will show an icon with the notification.
