Annoying Threaded Messaging

I have the original ROM on my HD but have several problems with the threaded messaging...
1. while in the threaded messaging screen if a reply is made the text icon continues to be displayed or it is not recognised a reply has been made and on the today screen (touchFlo and normal today screen) still shows as text still not read.
2. after several text messages and returning to the threaded messaging screen it returns to old texts and I have to scroll down by pressing "newer" to get to the last text.
Has anyone else had this problem?

if you dont like threaded msg, then install hd tweak and revert back to the classical way of viewing text.
as for the icon that u have an unread msg, it's usually right, u probably have a text that is not read, look down your list, if there's no unread text, then while in msg, click on inbox, and from the drop down menu, make sure that u have no unread msgs in any other inboxes u might have.
good luck

I actually prefer threaded messaging and you misunderstand the problem I'm describing. Obviously in threaded messaging the messages are one after the other and there is no option of going into individual messages. The problem is that once a reply is made the text icon should disappear but it does not.

Changing notifications

Is it possible to change the notifications so that the trackball keeps flashing when there's a new email / missed call / voicemail etc? At the moment it seems to flash when new email arrives and that's it, so if you miss the flash you can't tell there are any notifications unless you check.

actually just found out that when you have notifications the indicator flashes green, otherwise it doesn't flash at all. Unlike other HTC devices (where they nomally flashed green and then flashed orange to indicate notifications), but I guess it'll do

It does say in the user guide that the LED will flash green when there are notifications, but who ever reads that.
It would be nice to be able to select if the trackball should light up, in which interval and for what notifications. The green led will blink on any notification, not just email and missed call.
I came across an app called SMS Popup. It can change the color of the LED for SMS and MMS notifications in addition to the other great options of popping the message up on the screen and giving you reminders of unread messages.

SMS Noticfication Problem

So i just rooted and installed handcent and turned off stock sms notifications but when receiving text i was getting a notification from handcent and what i thought was the stock app. But then i turned on stock sms notifications and now i get notification from handcent, one from stock app and and one that says New Message(s) You have an unread message and it looks like a little picture of envelope or post card. I have no idea where that notification is coming from. its very annoying please help

Never mind thread can be closed found out that even if you don't use beautiful widgets sms that the notification will still show

Disable factory SMS (messaging)

I ve installed the CHOMPSMS and wonder how can i disable the factory messaging program (i installed ASTRO). I tried to change the LED Blink colour in ChompSMS but it doesn work, i need to set the light from Factory Messaging.
Please help
p.s. Does anyone know if there is an app that i can add the A-Z alpha onto my contact phone list so that i dun have to scroll around.

You can turn off the notifications on the stock app by going into the apps settings and scrolling to the bottom unchecking the box that says "notifications."
I hope this answers your question, and as far as changing the LED color, you need to be rooted in order to do that.

thank you!
I have rooted but i am unable to adjust the LED colour from ChompSMS, only can do it in factory messaging.

Uncheck the notification only not showing the icon right? does it disable the app permenatly?

I use handsent sms but also have sms popup. I have the notification off on the default and handsent. I use the sms popup because it lets me use trackball for different color for different contacts. Extra work but it works for me.

I quit using Handcent a while back because I wasn't using any of the features. I haven't used it since I got my N1 actually. I used to do a lot of work with the Dev on it. With SMS popup I can't get the trackball to work at all. You're using the LED setting right?

This is how I have the N1 set for trackball notification. 1st I have missed reminder install. I have the red selected for missed sms and blue for calls.I use handset for default sms but have the notification off, also the default messaging notifications off. I then have sms popup. Sms popup is enabled,for the quick yes or now replies, under the contacts notifications have different colors selected for contacts.

You're using the "LED" selections right? I'm trying it and none of them are lighting the trackball.

In what application? Please be more explicit.
I have the same setup as jerrycycle (coincidence) and for example using SMS Popup - Notification | Default Notifications | Enable Notifications (disable notification in the standard messaging app) and then go the the Led Configuration section and set your options. Now, use the Test Notification function to test your LED's.
You need a custom ROM but you should not use any LED mod for this.

The led will work for the chompsms and handcent. The custom option has to me the chosen option and the time has to be set. There is a 3 second delay before the custom colors work. I can't say what to set it on without reconfiguring my phone to test.

Is it perhaps two different programs? Also, in order to change the LED notification you may want to use a different program that controls the Messaging of the stock (not widget) or you should turn off notifications in the SMS Widget. If the two are different programs then chances are they won't work the same way and will likely have problems as such.

Thanks for your reply;
No the stock ones.
And I'd like to keep notifications.
It's pretty fixed with Pacman rom, CM's SMS app of PA is outdated...
