I am probably one of the rare few that actually like the text message pop-up/preview when receiving a message. If I'm using another app or playing a game it enabled me to quickly reply without stopping what I was doing to go to the messaging app.
For some reason the pop-ups no longer work (I'm not sure they ever have since I got my G4). I have checked and unchecked the options in messaging settings several times, cleared cache and data of messaging app, rebooted, set lock screen to show all notifications etc. Even after doing all that the pop-up still does not show. All I get is the sound and the message symbol in the notification bar.
My phone is rooted, and I used the build prop edit to enable all apps in dual window. Other than that I haven't messed with anything else. Can someone give me an idea how to fix this? Is anyone else having the same problem? I really hope I can get it figured out without having to factory reset or something.

I'm also using G4 but unlike you, I hate the style of the pop up. i just decided to officially shut it down. Anyways, go to the settings of your message -> notifications-> then make sure to check the preview and pop up, and of course the notification as well. Hope it helps.
Yep, I've done that several times as I said in my original post. Still not working. I don't know if rooting and disabling some bloat had anything to do with it but it'd be nice to have it working again...

Try to delete the application's cache?

I don't mean to sound rude, but it's obvious neither you, or the other poster, carefully read the original post...i wrote in the second paragraph that I HAVE cleared the app cache, no change.

Oh sorry dude, didn't notice that part.
I think the build prop change screws it up, considering it's a stock application. One thing that I would suggest to troubleshoot the problem is to revert the build prop change to see if it's really the culprit. However, if you can't live without the split screen then do consider a third party sms application.

I can't get the damn stock android messenger to stop placing notifications on the taskbar. I've tried unchecking the notification box, force closing, reset to defualt and unchecking again.
I've using handcent. How get rid of the damn thing? I can disable the messenger with pm disable....messenger.. Would that fix the problem?
It was working fine then i did a factory reset and it all went to hell after that.

Why don't you try another factory reset?

I had the problem too where I got two notifications even though I use the stock messaging app. If I click on the first it opens the message as normal, and if I clicked on the second one it would go to all the threads, but that notification stays in the status bar. It was driving me crazy, then I clicked the "clear notifications button". It kept on popping up afterwards and I kept on clearing it, but it doesn't happen anymore.
What did I do to make it stop? No fraking idea.
The factory reset worked. Even though I wanted to avoid going that route.
Tried googling around and wasn't successful; maybe I just used the wrong tags..anyways
I've noticed this issue quiet a while back and never thought of it; but recently it seems to of been getting worse..no Idea why because I haven't changed my setup
But; what happens is if I send a text message then open up another app; I.e browser, irc, ect, ect.. then press the back button when I go to open up my messaging app again to reply or send out another text it'll open up the previous app I just backed out of.
This is seriously annoying because I can't get to my text messaging threads at all and have yet to find a work around to fix this except rebooting.
I've tried clearing cache and that hasn't seemed to work. If anyone has any other ideas i'll be glad to test and report back.
Nothing? Nice help guys

Hello Everyone,
As you know, when you have multiple apps that can fulfill the same function Android asks you to choose one as the default. My problem is, if I choose one other than the built in Android app (like "Browser") it will lose it's setting after reboot. I've tried searching the forums for a solution but most of the threads deal with how to clear the default app setting and don't deal with how to make the default app settings permanently stick. I've tried apps like "Default App Manager" but after reboot it still resets. Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Thanks.
are you checking the checkbox on the bottom that says "Remember my Decision" (well something like that) when asked which action to do? you gotta check that dude..
Yes, I have been doing that! That of course was the first thing that I did: Check the box to remember and than click on the app. That's why I find this behavior so strange. I notice this was happening on both the R800a build that came with the phone, and the new .368 rom that I just loaded. Note that I also made it a point to keep these programs on the phone memory rather than the SD card, but it still makes no difference.
Same problem here...
at least don't nag.. was just trying to help
Sorry, to sound like I was nagging on you. I just assumed the obvious but I should have clarified that in my original post.
Try using different alternative apps. Like opera or dolphin for browser

Hi Cat,
That's what I'm doing, but the problem is when an app requires the browser to be opened it will ask for me to choose an app. I check the box at the bottom and then click on Opera. This will be remembered by android as long as I don't reboot the phone. The minute I reboot the phone it will forget what I set and ask me to choose a default app again. This is quite annoying.
Did you edit your build. Prop?
Deleted any system apps?

I only froze things like facebook etc. and have the problem of reconfirming default actions again and again. Someone suggested to make Sure replacement microsd should have same volume name like PHONE CARD or whatever original was. I,m not at my pc so cannot check if that fixes it. Hope it helps

Sometimes if you are getting Force-Closes, the system will reset the "Default" action for that intent if the intent failed with a force close of an app. Are you getting many FCs?
*shrugs* Past that, not sure what would be causing it. Maybe another app?
hey everyone,
so this is actually for my girlfriends g2 and i haven't seen it in person yet, i'll see it tonight, but i figured i'd throw some feelers out there...
her g2, whenever she goes into the text messaging app, the whole screen except the top 1/4 (so she can see the status bar, the create new message, and the most recent text conversation). she's NOT rooted, totally stock and never upgraded to gingerbread. so the notification that she should upgrade has been popping up so she finally went ahead and let it upgrade today while she was at work and it seemed to all go fine she says but now that its rebooted and upgraded, the text message app is still exactly the same issue.
like i said i haven't seen it myself. any ideas? first things first is i was probably going to go in and force close the app. if that doesn't help i'm going to start clearing out her texts (who knows when the last time she cleared them out was). after that... not sure. any other ideas?
thanks!
Dave
This seems to be a common problem. I googled it and found others with that same problem. Didn't see any fixes, though. Try a third party texting app. Otherwise you may need to replace the screen. Could try rooting and flashing a custom rom as well.

I am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

more details.. on stock?
silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?
yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!!
