Double notification.

Hey y'all. I've been havin' an odd thing happening on my phone as of late. I've been receiving double notifications for my SMS messages. I only use SMS backup and SMS popup. So, I don't think it's either of those as it never happened previously. If it helps any it first started happening when I themed my G1 with Fade to Blue. Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions?

Same thing, I'm assuming its SMS popup tho cuz i kwow programs like chomp would also give you a notification along with the standard notification.

Just turn off one of the notifications for sms or for sms popup.

Why chompsms e.g. and not the default sms application?

I see many people use chompsms and handcent application on their Hero. Why? I have downloaded the chompsms to try it out, but I had to check both applications to remove the "new message" notification in the status bar.
What is the advantage of applications like chompsms?

I can't say anything about ChompSMS or Handcent, because I don't use SMS enough to worry about using something "better" than the default app.
However, your first point was that you had to clear two notifications - in the settings for the standard SMS app, you can switch off notifications so presumably this is what you should do if you want to use another app for SMS.

It used to be on the CDMA Hero, that the default messaging app was buggy and drained our batteries severely. Anymore, it's a preference thing. Some of them have more features, a different look, etc.
For me, handcent has the advantage of a nice popup option built in and the ability to automatically resize pictures for MMS.

I use handcent sms because of the many settings-options you have and because of the blacklist function!
Standard app was just too.. standard

just installed Handscent sms, it looks identical to iPhone sms, lol.

SMS Popup is the best one I've tried.
I found the Handcent UI options weren't as sleek as the default app.

Was running handcent but when in landscape mode it crashes so switched to chompsms no more issues

i know i was reading it somewhere, but when installing a 2nd sms application like handscent or chomp, dual notifications occur.. is there way to remove that?

Go to defualt messages app. hit menu turn off notifcations.

Tried that and it doesn't work. I get both the Handcent and the envelope icon. It is getting annoying.

Chomp/SMS Notification won't dismiss. False.

I had chompSMS installed but after a short while I would recieve a notification saying I had a new message, from the default app even if I didnt have a new message present. The notification would take me to the default messaging app, with no new messages. I uninstalled chomp, but it's still happening. I have notifications currently disabled in the default messaging applicaion.
Using Cyanogen's latest ROM from NexusOne.

Hello out there? Anyone know whats going on?

try re-installing chomp or even better try handcent. Im using it and its kickass

[Q] Installed LauncherPro and no more text notifications

Hey guys,
I had to start from scratch after too many freezes, forced reboots, & instabilities with my Vibrant. I reinstalled LauncherPro and in the LP Preference Settings, I checked the 'Unread SMS count' setting in Dock Settings and I get no more system notifications & sounds when I receive new text messages. It shows the unread messages ok in the LP Dock, but no sound or any sign of the new message in the Notification Bar. I tried unchecking 'Unread SMS count' to see if that fixed it, but no go. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Somewhere in the Settings menu?
Thanks!
I'm running 2.1 Stock with Root and ext2 lagfix. Using stock Messaging app.

Figured it out. Moderators: Please delete this thread. Thanks!

What was it?

Haha - I/O
I was looking for the Samsung Messaging settings while I was in a thread. I just had to back out to the main screen of the Messaging app to find the settings. Then checked the 'Notifications' setting and it was all good. I/O, lol!

Messenging Bug/Error??

I use Handcent for messenging like many people do, and have turned off the notifications in the stock messenging app to avoid getting double text message notifications.
Every thing has been peachy for the past month, until just today, I noticed when I get text messages, the notification from Handcent AND Stock show in my bar. I thought that I might of changed the settings on the stock, so I checked but notifications were set to OFF in the settings.
I rebooted the phone, and tried receiving a text again. Still the default messenger app notification shows, then handcent for each text. I even went and uninstalled the damn stock MMS.apk to get rid of the double popup!
Now, when i receive text messages BOTH notification still pop up, and if you press the stock messenger notification, it doesn't do anything. -___-;;;
Thought it was a problem with Handcents most recent update this morning, so i re-installed the older version from a few weeks ago. STILL getting double notifications!
Anyone else have this problem?
