Getting 2 notifications for 1 text!!!??

Im getting 2 diffrent notifications for 1 text message ! i have tried disabling notifications in my default message app and still another one comes up and it says 1 unread text message then when i view it it still on the notification bar but now says no unread messages... anyone know whats going on? i really hate getting 2 tones for 1 message!! pleasse help!

Sounds like you are using a 2nd text application like Handcent.
Both applications will indicate a new message, Android and Handcent (or whatever). You have to open up the Android application and disable notifications.

Are you rooted, if so, I recommend using Titanium backup and freezing the stock messaging app. I think the free one will freeze/thaw apps , but if you are rooted the paid version is a must have in my opinion

You have to go into the stock messaging app and hit menu > settings > and uncheck the notifications.

i did all that i figured it out it was the stupid beautiful widget pack2!! grrrr!! but thanks for your guyses help!

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

SMS Alert not always sounding

Hey guys,
I have noticed, that sometimes my SMS alert doesn't always sound. Does this perhaps happen when you are in a conversation, and leave it open and jump right back to the home screen. Therefore the conversation is still "open" on the phone, and hence it doesn't sound? If I go back to my message widget, the new message shows up then.
Anyone else had this?

Go to aplications>mange aplications>all>sound set>clear data
And then set notification sound you like ... tell me if this helps you

Will give it a try

That's not fixed it.
Does it have something to do with the conversation still being open in the message app?

Are you on Android 2.2.1, software version 1.72?
There is a known issue with sms notifications on that version if you are. Best fix is using sms popup from the market to handle your notifications instead of the system app.

[Q] Messaging app icon showing 1 unread.

Read every message individually, showing 1 unread on app shortcut icon.
Deleted all messages, still showing 1 unread.
Any suggestions?

happens to me the odd time, leave it, it will go away. it's an odd but rare bug!

Leave it?
It's playing havoc with my OCD!!

I had that a lot. Then I started using the Gmail app and updated it from the Market. Since then I haven't had that problem.

No, I'm talking about the stock sms messaging shortcut icon (as found in the bottom toolbar as standard).

what version of the play you using?
like gsm cdma?
happen to me also but it the stupid visual voicemail from verzion lol kept showing up as a txt

i can confirm that bug on 4.0.A.2.368 UK Generic. Using GO SMS Pro but stock messaging app icon shows a number 1 on a circle. good thing it's not on my homescreen. just use a 3rd-party messaging app and replace the stock sms app icon instead. you won't be bothered anymore, as i bet you barely visit your app drawer as i do.

I got the same problem on mine, v annoying!

Messaging app lag?

Just wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing the same thing. I haven't experienced any lag with this phone whatsoever except for the stock messaging app.
1) Sometimes when I open the messaging app, the preview of a text messaging thread may be from many hours ago and then "refresh" itself to the most recent text. Essentially when I open the app, the preview shows a much older text message and then after a couple seconds will show the most recent one.
2) Sometimes when I push send on a message, it will take a second before the text is actually sent so if I continue to text, it will add on to the previous message until sent.
The only way I've found to correct this is to switch to the "SMS/MMS" tab, which seems to correct the lag, but of course any time you push the back button out of the app, it goes back to the deault "all messages" tab when opening. I also tried holding down the tab titles and it brings you to a screen which it almost looks like HTC was going to give the option to remove other tabs but the boxes cannot be unchecked.
Anyone else running into these issues? Find a solution?

Yeah ive noticed the same weirdly enough I don't feel lag when using sliding messaging app or textra

I don't recall having any of those issues but for me what happens is when I open the message app, in the list of people I've been texting, it shows their phone number for a second, and then it switches to their name. And it only happens once in a while. Like right now, it's not happening. Weird

Same here. Kind of annoying, but I had so many problems with go sms and hand cent on my rezound not sending group messages correctly. I'm scared to change and lose a working "group messaging app".

Yup, same here. Definitely a little annoying.

Try Verizon messages. It's awesome and group messages is flawless

I have these two issues.
This stock HTC Messages app automatically closes when you back out of sending a reply message, so it doesn't refresh the preview list like previous HTC phones on a reply. On the same token, it appears that it completely quits the Messages app, requiring you to load the names from the Contacts app when you open the Messages app without replying to a message. If you press Home rather than Back, when you open the Messages app again, it loads the messaging screen with the contact you most recently messaged, the person to whom you just replied. If you open the app and send a message, then press Back, it loads the list again, and everything is all good. It's all very odd.

Well glad to see I'm not the only one. I had tried Handcent, Chomp, etc with nothing but lag and other issues. Thanks to the response from NSRpxndxhou, I tried Textra and actually really like it. Best replacement text app I've tried.

I like how HTC's stock messaging app looks, but it ended up simply being too slow. I switched to Textra, enabled the dark theme and never looked back. Silky smooth performance, even with giant threads.

I am in the middle of an email conversation with the guys at Textra. I love the app. But my group messages are not working correctly. Those guys are great. Within one day I got an email with an update to try.... make that two updates. Just got another one while typing this.

Yeah only thing I don't like is the icon but that's not even a big deal.

Textra does seem nice, but there are a couple things I would miss from the stock messaging app. I like the ability to search ALL your text messages to find a specific text. I also prefer to have the time stamp on each and every text like the stock application does. I also don't like how it shows the contacts phone number below their name.
I would likely use this as a stock replacement if they were able to integrate all those features.

You may want to consider going into messaging->settings->general and adding a text limit (default at 200). When you do this you will notice your messaging to be a bit more zippy. This is because its not trying to open all of your old previous messages (which can be in the thousands).

I had a Messaging app issue when I had too many messages, which was fixed by deleting them, but that whole "reloading" issue seems to be separate.
Even with a few messages, it tends to reload upon reopening the Messaging app. Really weird why it does it...

I agree. I go through 5-6k texts a month and if I didn't set a limit my stock messaging app would laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

Had this issue as well, found out that if you go to the stock messaging app settings > MMS > then connection settings, this gives you the APN. Copy that URL and paste it in the Textra MMS settings. Mines worked flawlessly ever since. Not experiencing any lag like the stock messaging app, and have noticed no difference in features.

Built In Messenger App, is the only one that works.

Has anyone run into the problem where you can only receive text from the built in messenger app. I've tried Textra, Android Messenger, Etc. And all have the exact same history from a few days ago compared to Samsung messenger which is updated completely . I can send from the the 3rd party messengers i've made default, but all responses go to the Samsung messenger even though it is not the defaulted one. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

I am having the same issue

Did that, when my default text app is set to textra or android, 1) i only see the history from a few days ago 2) messages can be sent from the app but all incoming still go to the stock app.

Been running Textra from day one and can report no problems.

My Textra App, shows a completely different message history than the built in app. One that has a few of todays messages in it, missing some in between. I have no idea whats going on. Also my OTP SMS autofill does not work on any app (when the server sends you a code and instead of having to go into messages and copy the code, it should autofill and self verify) You can imagine the problem i had when trying to do a factory restore and google was attempting to send me a text to verify and it wasnt auto reading the text with the code.

Yes, the problem exists.
Go to Settings > Cloud and Accounts > check the multi-line settings "this is the option that is messing with texts"
Also go to Apps > Scroll to "Messages' and tap on it, Hit Storage >> Clear Data, go back one, and you'll see "set as default" under the permissions. clear defaults and "after you do the wipe it might be greyed out >> open your preferred app and try to text yourself and make sure.

What should multi line settings be? I have DIGITs with my S3 Rugged, but i never had this problem with my V20

I've been using Signal since day one. Absolutely no issues. Even used it to make calls through signal to another signal user.

I didn't mess with the multi-line settings, but just to make sure it is off. I have been using textra with no issue.

My wife started having problems with texts after the most recent update as well. She can send texts and I receive them, but she doesn't receive any texts. I've had her try resetting, turning on and off Wi-Fi, etc. I'm having her try clearing data and cache from the Messages app, I'll let you know if it works.
Edit: Tried clearing data and cache and setting Messages as the default, still no luck. And I don't see any option for multi line settings in Cloud and Accounts. Any other ideas?
