No Text Notification if open

Running AT&T Stock ROM on the Tilt II.
My annoyance is that, if I have a text conversation open, my phone does not make a sound or vibrate upon receipt of a new text message from that person. So if I leave it displaying the messages from that dialogue, and lock the phone, it won't give me a notification when I receive a message.
Anyone know a way to disable this annoying 'feature'?
Thanks

I'd love a fix for this also. I've seen it on most all ROM's I've tried. If the HTC messaging app is open (not sure if the MS messaging does it also) I don't get notified of txt messages.
This means either you should close the app after each message, or remember to check it during a "conversation" with somebody. Very annoying.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

Mail and Text problems.

I have handcent (which I prefer to the standard HTC text) but whenever I receive a text I get alerts for both the HTC text AND Handcent. So I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar. I've been looking for ages to find a way of disabling the HTC text but can't find anything.
Also I have a virtually identical problem with emails. whenever I receive email to my Gmail account, I receive two notifications, one for Googlemail and one for Mail. Again, I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

you don't need to open the message, just scroll down (pull down) the notification bar and on the top right it should say "Clear" and that will get rid of any notifications you have got exept for music when its playing or any other program you've got running that has an icon on the notification bar..
hope this helps!

Switch off notifications in the "Messages" app (within app untick Menu->Settings->Received Notification")
Switch off notifications in one of "Gmail" or "Mail" (similarly can be done via settings in Gmail/Mail.)

Dave

Thanks for that, I have actually done so but I still have a problem when receiving texts. When a text comes in, I'm presented with the text displayed in the stock messaging box, I have to close that and open handcent to reply - which is quite annoying.
Any thoughts?

This is the answer because that's exactly what myself and many others have done. I can tell you that it works.
You must have unchecked the wrong options.

When you say the "stock messaging box", are you referring to the HTC widget? If so, you need to remove this. Also, have you ticked "Enable popup" in Handcent's notification settings?

[Q] Notification after sending text message

I couldn't find a thread about this subject with search so here it goes.
When I send a text message, I get the same notification as receiving one when my contact receives it. So: I send, contact receives, I get notified with sound, vibration etc.
I want to shut this down because it's confusing. I then think someone sent me a sms or whatsapp-message or whatever. But I don't know how. I tried everything in the settings of the messaging app. Is this standard?

The option for take off this is: Message app -> settings -> SMS -> delivery reports (first voice)

But I do want to have delivery reports. Except, on my other Android phones I just saw a small icon next to the messages when they received it. I don't want to be notified about them. That's not possible on the HOX?

Then i don't know...
Sorry
So, did you try to remove the check on: message app -> settings -> Notifications -> Notifications sent?

i have the same issue, even if it is not a big problem since sense4+ work like that, but it would be great if we can disable the sound of the delivery report.

Exactly

do some one have any idea to this issue ? thank you

Any updates on an answer for this? I am wondering the same.. I like the little icon that confirms the message has been sent but would not like the sound notification each time a message is sent..

Remove or change delivery report sound
Hope this will help!
1. Go to your messaging app, settings/notifications/notification sound/
Then choose one. The sound you are going to choose here will be your delivery report notification
2. Get out of messaging app, go to settings/personalize/sound/notification sounds/messages/
Choose one once again. The sound you will pick here will be your incoming text message notification
Then you're done!
Just notice when you will have a look at messaging settings/notification/.../ the name that will appear will be the one you picked in personalize/.../ BUT don't worry cause you will definitely have two different sounds for delivery and incoming text message!
Also note that when you'll want to change your SMS SOUND, you go to personalize, not to messaging settings!
And if you don't want a sound for delivery reports, just put a short empty mp3 audio file into media folder!
That's it!

[Q] Delivery report notification?

Does anyone know how to stop the notification for delivery report or at change the tone? Right now it is set to the same tone as my sms notification and I can't seem to find a way to change it. It's really annoying because I always think I get a text but it is the delivery report. I would just change to a third party sms app but I like how my sms show up on the lock screen with the stock app. Any suggestions?

If you go into Settings in Messages you can set the notification tone for received messages and if you scroll further down you can disable the notifications for sent and failed messages and also set a different notification tone than your received one.
Sorry for the long run on sentence. My brain isn't functioning too well today.

Yeah, the notification for sent message is off right now. There doesn't appear to be an option for delivery notification which is different from sent message. It's the little checkbox thing next to texts when you send an sms to people on the same carrier.

Found it (maybe?). Settings, Text messages (SMS), deselect Delivery Reports. Also appears to have it under Multimedia Messages.

Yeah I still want the delivery report icon next to my texts, I just don't want a notification. If I uncheck it I lose them completely. That's how it has been for every other sms app I have used. I guess I'll have to just live without them.

Emergency Alerts

Is there any way to suppress or at least silence emergency alerts on the A50? The options in Messages are all greyed out, and I already tried turning off notifications for Messages entirely. I wouldn't mind if it was just vibrating, but I hate the loud alarm...
I'm using an A505G on T-Mobile in the US.

disable messages and install another one like the one from Google.

I have notifications for the stock Messages app blocked (I use Textra as default now) and it looks like the Messages app can't be entirely disabled-- the option is greyed out.
