Does anyone know how to turn off the SMS preview in the latest com3 builds? I'm looking specifically for a fix for 21665. I am not running on an HTC phone or using Sense.
When you get a notification and click the go to sms button, it doesn't take you straight to the sms for response like it used to. Now I get a popup with the sms readout, but I can't respond directly from that.
It could be great to disable that new enhacement it makes some lack and in fact is unnecessary cause we all can see the message in threaded conversation SMS screen.
*Bump*
Has anyone figured out how to disable this "feature"? In other builds when Titanium shows "text" with the number 1 beside it and I tap where it says "text" it brings me to that new message in threaded view. Seems all COM3 builds bring you to this preview screen showing that message and then you have to close it an manually select to view the message again in threaded view. I use SMS a lot and find this extremly annoying but cannot find out how to get the functionality back to the way it used to work. I have tried builds 23139, 23138, 23121, 21680 and they all do this. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know this as well. Same with email. The animation is nice at first, then it's just annoying. I want to go straight to my messages or the emaiil.

Somebody cracked/hacked the OS SMS app and posted it over on PDAPhoneHome:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70428
It's working on my 8125 so far. It's kind of limited (all notifications and SMS related events still open the Outlook/Text Message app), but if you're having a conversation with one person it seems to work nicely.

i have been using this program and its great, i keep it minimized so when i get a text i just hit the icon and just use it for my sms. the only problem i have is i wish i didnt have to manually open the message so that the notification goes away. i have been looking for a reg hack that will still notify me via tone and vibration when a text comes in, but doesnt sit in the notification area. i aslo use pocketplus which allows you to preview texts and reply from them from the today screen, and right now im kind of torn between the two.
Hmmmm...I'm not using PocketPlus and I can also preview text messages and reply from the Today screen, are you sure that's not a WM5 attribute?
But you're right, it would be nice to have all the alerts, and default SMS handling go through this app, and I know there are some developers working on just that. But until then, this helps a bit.
I only use it when I get a message that I expect to turn into a conversation with lots of back and forth dialog. Most are ask/answer/done or just informational, but a few I get during my week I can pretty easily tell will involve several back and forth points. Other's text usage may not be so clear cut so this partial functionality is not good enough.

O2SMS
I am using the wizard and used the O2SMS programs for a few months. I often use the program to send to a group. I notice sometimes that while sending out to his group (1 by 1) the program will stop sending and close. Does anyone else have this issue..if not any suggestions to fix
thanks
screenshot please
I've used O2 SMS Plus also, but I must say that Palm Messaging is more, if not fully!, intergrated in the "system"
yes
i love palm messaging
Hi,
I have flashed my TouchHD with Duttys ROM and since then all the SMS messages I receive show in the wrong order on the TouchFlo messages tab.
I have delivery notification turned on and these messages are all at the top of the list, regardless of when they were received. If I scroll past them the text messages are there in the correct order. I think this has something to do with another feature where when I get a message, an icon appears in the title bar (next to the battery/signal/blutooth icons) that wasnt there before and if I press on it I can read the text in a bubble, but I dont want that.
Any one know how I can sort this out? Ideally I would like to disable the icon and have the messages sorted in the order they are received.
Anyone know a reg key to do it?
Thanks
I recently bought a HTC HD2 and like the phone a lot. I have a problem with SMS and whenever I search for the problems with SMS they are all old and about lag which obviously was a big problem. Mine isn't as big of problem but is extremely annoying.
When I get a new message, whether on the lockscreen or not. If I use the navigation tabs to view the SMS (which you have to do from the lockscreen), I am 90% of the time directed to an older message in the conversation and not the NEW message. So then I have to scroll up to view the new message.
This is extremely annoying and I know I cant be the only one to have this problem, but it is definitely hard to search for this because it is hard to describe. Please someone help.
Also, would there be a way to go from the new SMS slider on the lockscreen directly to "All Messages" so you can bypass seeing the sms on the white sheet of paper and then having to click that to answer. Its a lot of steps for nothing.
same problem here, on Miri's ROM. it is annoying (as is the fact that when i start writing a text, after a couple of seconds the focus moves out of the text entry field, and hence i can't type any more without clicking in the field again.
not found a solution to either of these.
I've seen a thread about this yesterday I think
Anyway, just disable the SMS tab... If you do that, tapping the notification will open the Messaging application.
i suspect going to an old message from lockscreen is caused by the same thing that makes appointments stay on the lockscreen for a while after they have ended. basically the lockscreen controls poll the registry for the info that is displayed, but it doesn't update itcontinually.just now and then
I disabled the sms navigation tab and that seems to work better. The SMS app is still not as smooth as i would like it to be but what can you do...
Dear, This thread already posted. search for smstimestampfixer 1.3.cab. gud luck
Hi Guys,
I have had an ongoing problem with my phone for some time, persisting throughout different ROM flashes and full wipes.
I use Handcent SMS, and have notifications turned on, it's a blue icon.
I receive this notification, and another mysterious one from i don't know where.
The other one is white and displayed in the photo below.
One would assume it's the default SMS app that's displaying it, but...
I have most definitely turned off notifications in the default SMS application, and have no other SMS apps installed, just the default "Messaging" and Handcent.
Also, when i read the message, it doesn't clear until i manually "Clear all notifications". IIRC, i even removed the default SMS app and still got those messages, but i can't be certain of that as it was awhile ago.
Has anyone else experienced this, and know of a way i can fix?
Any help would be most appreciated.
The notifications appear as such...
"You have an unread message"
"You have 0 unread messages"

A bit hard to to be sure without a screen shot - try uploading it to imageshack and posting a link (you'll to need to change the link a bit such that XDA doesn't recognize it as a link).
Most likely it is the default messaging app, Please recheck that notifications are disabled there. If they are, you can also try to enable them, and see if you now get 3 notifications on each SMS....
Hi, Thanks for the reply =)
Interesting, I enabled notifications in the default sms app and now i get 3 notifications!
So i can only assume it's something else!
I have two screenshots...

This is a photo with the 3 notifications (if i enable notification in the default sms app)

Ok, so it aint the default messaging app. What happens when you press on the notification? Maybe it opens this app?
I guess this might be a little extreme, but you can always do a full wipe, and then do a clean install - verify you get only one notification with a clean install (no apps). Then start installing your apps and try to find out which is the offending app. If you do want to do this, I suggest you wait a few days, I should release a bugfix version 1.1.9 shortly.
BTW, there are easier/better ways to take screen shots, like "ShootMe" on the market, or the ddms utility which comes with the andoird SDK if you have adb working.

Great, thanks very much for the advice. I'll wait for the new Floyo release and try a process of elimination.
Also, loving your Floyo ROM.. it's improved my Hero immensly \o/
Much appreciated, keep up the good work =)
Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.
Mike.
