i finally found a hero rom that works for me but one thing i dislike is that popup sms is very buggy on it. ill get notified a few times for each message. ill get the same notification twice, about 20 mins apart. is there any other app out there that works like popup? i need my screen to "wake up" when i receive an SMS/MMS.
by any chance have you made sure to disable notifications in the sms settings of the device. Also check to make sure you do not have the sms popup setting for reminders enabled. Not using it right now only cause I have been toying with different roms and have been reformatting my sd card with each rom but when I was using it at first with the qtek hero rom I did not have any issues. I am about to flash the evil 1.6 and will test it on that rom and post findings.

Try dgAlert Classic, allows you to set some good sms mms settings including; wake up, led color etc...
yes i did have my notifications set up correctly in both popup sms and the native sms app. i will try this other app and see how it goes. thank you both for the replies.
I have been running on evil's 1.6 hero rom on tmobile mytouch and have had no issues or conflicts with sms popup

does the led color settings work with the hero roms?
ok guys...a little help please. could you please navigate me to sms popup settings? not finding and since there aren't too many places to look, i'm either a doof (likely) or fatal1ty1.4hero has it removed (less likely).
has anyone else gone through this issue yet? i sort of feel like im the only one lol. im currently on modaco 2.2 but popup sms wouldnt work modaco 1.51, a few drizzy roms, and a few jac roms. on modaco it doesnt turn my screen on but when i hit a key the message with pop up notification shows up (but that sort of defeats the purpose of the app). my settings are correct (notifications in native messaging are turned off, notifications turned on in popup sms, message priority setting is on high). i also think i miss a lot of message when i have popup installed.
as a former iphone user this app is huge for me. i normally have to keep my phone on vibrate so its nice to be able to see the screen light up and also have the photo, name, reply button right on the little window. i would be extremely grateful for anyone who could help me set this up on my hero rom!
currently using tmobile mytouch 3g. modaco 2.2 32b hero rom.
SMS Popup v0.9.97 working fine here...
ok, so since doing the update to 2.1 me as well as everyone i know who have done this have had the problem of getting "failed delivery" notifications for almost all text messages even though they actually send, ive changed every setting i can possibly think of in built in messaging app and handcent
any help would be greatly appreciated, this is getting to be INCREDIBLY annoying
*228 SEND
Fixes alot of network problems. Pick option 1, wait for phone to restart, and see what happens.
tried that, with option 1 and 2, no go
i had the exact same problem, just rebooted the phone and it fixed itself (I also use handcent as my sms client, that might be where this bug is coming from).
This happens only with HandcentSMS or also with your stock messaging app? I had the same problem but only with HandcentSMS, the thing was it'd still be sending the message out an everytime I hit retry I ended up sending a duplicate message. Eventually the notifications became annoying and I switched to ChompSMS, haven't had a problem since.
I'm assuming it's solely a HandcentSMS problem an you just messed with your stock messaging options to see if that was the issue? Let me know.
It's something with the early 2.1 update on the Eris, it isn't compatible with something in the app, I'm not completely phone savvy so I'm not very technical with my terms but you get the idea.
I started getting this...so just switch from handcent to another sms app?
yeah im using chomp, or you can just ignore it because the message still sends it just doesnt register with the app as sending

its not in the market on the 2.1 for some reason but you can go to http://www.chompsms.com i think it is and download it there
it's handcent thats the problem, but it IS actually sending the message, the app just doesnt realize it
ok, so i "fixed" it, sort of, heres how
i uninstalled handcent, rebooted phone, reinstalled, set all settings, *228 option 1, rebooted phone
works 98% of the time now, completely bearable, to me at least
i love handcent, the popup thing is the best thing ever in my opinion, chomp dont do it, so i really wanted to get handcent working right
happened to me with handcent as well.. wife got lots of dupes. I switched to chomp till handcent releases update

If you're talking about the popup when you receive a new message (with options to type a reply, open the message, call, etc.), then Chomp does have that capability; it's just turned off by default. In the settings, it's called "Quick Reply."

yeah, chomp does have it, i noticed though that i cant get it to make the messages private it'll pop up over the lock screen.
but if i miss the text an my screen goes off, its back to the lockscreen when i turn it on which is fine i prefer that, but it doesnt show the notification icon up top so sometimes i think i have no messages an wont even unlock the phone when i really do. maybe i overlooked the setting, but it shows up at first (the notification) and then its gone once the screen goes off an is turned back on
has anyone else had these three issues with handcent sms
i've used the g1 fine since release and have upgraded to the htc desire last week, i find three issues with handcent on the desire
1. the "notification" led stops flashing after a few minutes until i unlock the phone, then it starts flashing again
2. unable to change the LED colour, there is the option in the settings but this merely disables the led when changing the colour
and
3. in the notifcation bar next to the clock, there used to be the handcent envelope and then it would have a number of unread messages - it now just shows the envelope with no number. even though in the settings i've asked it to show the number of unread messages with the envelope
i have played with the settings as i've used it fine with the g1 but cant get any of these things working with the desire, is anyone else facing these issues?
thanks

It seems it doesn't support draft sms!
I also got issues with the LED-Color in handcent...
But for me its more like there is NO led notification even though its activated.
LED me know BETA notifies me very well - so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the led...
I used Handcent for a long time on my Desire - it always worked well.
Last weekend I flashed the new DeFroST-Rom and with this it doesn't work

Anyone else not getting a LED notification for text messages? Seems like I'm getting them for e-mails and whatnot, just not texts. Check options and didn't see anything initially to change it. Would I have to download Chomp or Handcent in order to get it?

And I get notifications but I'm using Handcent.
I get a flashing led in the upper right whenever I get a new text. Works for e-mail too.
Actually I just now noticed I get them but it flashes maybe 2-3 times then goes away. I'm so used to my Hero flashing constantly so I wouldn't have to unlock to see what I got.

You can always press the power button and check.
is there any way to set it so the phone wakes up when a new text is received? I frequently drive with the stereo WAY up and don't hear notifications and my car is highly modified, so it's not smooth enough that I'd feel it on vibrate. My previous phone used to wake up, which was PERFECT, I never missed a message.
I use SMS Popup. It turns on the screen when a SMS is received, and I also can setup different SMS notifications for contact. It's really nice to have different SMS audio alerts per contact.
The messaging app "GOSMS Pro" has that and its free!
Handcent does it as well
OR...
If you're riding around in your highly modified car with the music turned WAY up... Maybe you shouldn't be reading new text messages?
Yes, I'm probably old to you. Maybe I've accumulated a bit more wisdom, too?
+1 on handcent. This app is a life saver! Lol. It'll make ur phone platinum and chrome

Handcent can read your text messages out loud and you can talk to it to message back if needed.
This isn't nearly as direct as the other solutions but MIUI has an option for this built in. If you haven't tried it I recommend giving it a go!
