Handcent Pop-Up Issue (resolved) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
I use handcent as my default messager and since they updated it the other day my "pop-ups" stopped working. After the update, the pop-up would show up for less than one second then disappear and the phone would lock again. I checked then settings in handcent and in the "popup settings" section there is a check box called "Show over lock screen fix". I never had to use this before, but it ended up solving my issue, so if anyone of you are now experiencing this, you can fix it. Just wanted to share!

Notification problem: tap on new mail doesn't do anything

Hi,
I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi there,
Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.
To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.
Anyone else seeing this please?
Thanks,
Pete
thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works
Thanks, I'll have a search and try it out

Notification problem - alarms as well
I have a similar issue - if I have an Alarm reminder and go to the Notification Screen, I can't select it - all I can do is dismiss it (actually dismiss all) and I can't see what the reminder was....any ideas out there?
same problem
I have the same problem and will be very gratefull if someone has a solution.
Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem. So I decided it was time for a hard reset. That solved my problem. Drastic solution I admit, but it fixed the problem
I have the same problem with new messages and missed calls.
They wont be shown when I tap on it on the notification manager...
Just pinging this thread again to see if anyone might have ideas how to resolve this without a hard reset...

[Q] Pull Down SMS Notification Issue

I've been having an issue with this, and it's only started recently. FroYo has been installed for weeks prior to this (unbranded HTC Desire, so no mods or custom ROMS here).
I receive a text. The alert displays in the pull down menu. I pull down the menu, click the notification which then rotates the screen for a half second or so, opens the SMS app (default HTC messaging app), but it opens to the very first message in that thread meaning I have to scroll through around three hundred messages to get to the new one, or close the app, then re-open the messages via my icon which then jumps to the new message.
Quite weird. Any thoughts to help alleviate my head scratching?

WidgetLocker and Go SMS Pro problem

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13407339&postcount=1195
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"

Duplicate Calendar Notifications

Hi all -
I'm hoping this is a simple "duh" fix. I've searched, and can't seem to find anyone else who has this issue... so hopefully it's just a check box somewhere.
I have my calendar set up for pop-up alerts. The problem is that I get two pop-ups. The first pop-up is a stock ICS pop-up that I need to dismiss. Once I dismiss it, I then get a TouchWiz themed pop-up. (I could be mistaken, but it might also happen in the opposite order as well)
I've attached a screen shot of both screens.
I do have Business Calendar installed, but I have its internal notifications turned off. That's the only 3rd party calendar program I have installed.
Any ideas? Thanks!

missed call notification and exdialer

Hey everyone,
For some reason today my s20+ automatically changed something and I canĀ“t figure out how to solve it.
When I tap on a missed call notification it directs me to the default Samsung phone app instead of exdialer.
I have exdialer set as default and it was all working out fine until today.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks
