Handcent/Messaging problem (Notifications) - EVO 4G General

I know this problem pops up all the time, but mine is a little bit different. I have had notifications disabled in the stock messaging program since day 1 and never had an issue. Now, 3 days later, the notifications are popping back up in the stock messaging program and I didn't change a thing. I checked back to make sure it was still unchecked and I was right, it still was. I get 2 notifications; one from handcent and one from the stock messaging.
I had this problem back a while ago on my Droid but I forgot what I did to fix it. Hopefully someone can chime in if they remember how to!
Thanks

In the stock messaging go into settings and tick ON notifications and then tick it back OFF and see if that will work.

Nope, still the same problem.
I've tried uninstalling Handcent in the past and reinstalling, it still didn't fix the problem

Remembered how to fix it! It was when I downloaded Beautiful Widgets Pack 2. There's a messaging widget that it installs and it turns notifications on inside the widget. In order to turn it off you have to go to Widgets / Beautiful SMS Widget / Menu / Turn off notifications
Problem Solved, hopefully if someone else has this problem they can learn from it

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This has been driving me crazy for a month lol. Although I never tried really really hard to fix it. I thought it was weird it kept happening even after I installed a new ROM. But id do a full restore on apps everytime so this made total sense. Thanks again buddy

Missing Live Messenger icon?

Now I seem to be missing the icon within MSN messenger that you click on to go back to the contact list once you're in a conversation window. It's the little green guy icon. It's just a blank space now but if I click it anyway it will still go back to the contact list but it just looks weird now with nothing there.
I know it's something I installed that likely made it disappear but after trying to remove all my hacks/customizations I only ended up screwing my whole phone up and had to restore to a back up to get it all back working again. All of my customizations are Anastasia theme related.
Anyone familiar with the app that causes this bug??

Stock Alarm Clock Issues

Just recently got the Shift and so far its a big nice upgrade from the hero.
I don't currently have root access and am pretty much running stock everything, with the exception of Launcher Pro and some custom icons.
The issue I am running into is that occasionally my alarm clock goes off w/o the option to snooze or dismiss.
The only way to remedy this is to yank the battery... (at least thats how I deal with it at 6:am and I want to snooze)
Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.
I had the problem show up a few times on my Hero before the official 2.1 release, but I don't remember if anything I tried fixed it. Just letting you know it's not just you.
I know the alarm clock snooze/dismiss settings are tied to HTC Sense. Maybe launcher pro is messing with Sense somehow.
I think the controls to dismiss or snooze the alarm are tied to the lock screen. I don't use launcher pro, but I wonder, does launcher pro replace the stock lock screen?
Ive had similar problems...im stock rooted and still using sense and occasionally have this problem...i usually use audio manager widget to lower the volume so its not driving me crazy and then set a new alarm for like a min later...when the snooze/dismiss options appear for the new alarm i hit dismiss and all the alarms stop
Why not install DeskClock.apk?

No, it doesn't.
^ Shift Faced
That's the same way I've been solving it Seems that if I turn off the phone (Kyocera Zio 2.2) whilst having an app on screen (ie turn it off from within an app or fxn) the incidence is quite high. If turned off from home screen, doesn't occur (or at least not very often - can't quite be sure, but 95% certainty) Just wanted to make someone aware of it. Glad to see it wasn't just me who noticed it. Having to take the case off, battery out, et al are annoying, and just seems a goofy fix for what is generally a nice piece of equipment! Someone else (Hero user?) is changing their vol setting and then setting another alarm for a min later to have the shut-off option appear. I may try that in the future. THANK YOU for the site!!

Converted from Iphone, need advice..

I have always used android except for the past 1.5 years. Obviously alot has changed and now I am back with the nexus 4. I have to admit it seems much more polished since the htc evo days.
So I need some advice and pointers..
I received the phone last night, I spent the rest of the evening rooting it. I am now running faux's kernel
as well AOKP's Rom
Here is what I am missing imo..
When I put the phone in silent mode, it does not vibrate, to overcome it I installed Silent Mode Jammer from the app store. Just hoping I am missing a setting though.
On the iphone, it was jailbroken and I installed this app called f.lux which at a certain time, would alter the screen so I could view it in the dark without it lighting up an entire room. Also gave it a different colour hue.
Finally, the lockscreen. I would love to have more than a clock on the screen. Ideally, the weather, 5day maybe... my calendar and then any alerts.
Any advice or pointers? Thanks and glad to be back..
Welcome back to the droids
For your lockscreen questionslide from left to right in the lock screen until a "plus" appears push it and you can choose from 5 Stock widgets aviable (at least in stock rom but i dont think aokp removed this fetuare)

Welcome back. I also jumped ship from Android to the iPhone 5 for a couple weeks, then back to the N4. The N4 is my favorite phone by far.
You need to make sure you have "always vibrate" checked under settings for phone, messaging, and email. Then, when the phone is in vibrate mode it will actually vibrate when you get a call, text, or email.
as for the lockscreen, each widget goes on its own page, can you combine them so that they look like:
Clock
Weather
Agenda
Alerts
thanks

Wake up my phone on notifications? - Solved

Is there a setting, app, or feature that will temporarily turn the screen on to show incoming notifications? My last Motorola device did this as did one of my HTC devices. My iPhone did it. I can't seem to find the settings to make my note 3 do it....
Thanks
Ok, I know it's bad karma to reply to your own post, but I think I've got the whole notifications not built in thing worked out with an app and a few settings... There still seem to be a few kinks to work out, but here's what I did in case anyone wants to replicate my "success". Note that this has a configuration tool similar to the one found on iPhone that lets you turn on/off notifications on the lock screen for each app that sends notifications.
Download and install Nils from the google play store - make sure to enable it after installing
go to settings, lockscreen and turn on multiple widgets
Set screen lock to "swipe". I didnt' test this with other lockscreens but it may work
turn off, then on your device to see the default clock lockscreen.
Press and hold the stock clock and slide down to make it bigger
Press and hold the stock clock widget on the lockscreen and drag it to the trash
Click the new "+" symbol on the lockscreen and choose the Nils widget
Play with the settings.
I tested this on a rooted cleanrom installed device and it works for messages, corporate email, and gmail. That's all I'm interested in, but this will also work on all sorts of other system messages.

S10+ - Not receiving notifications

Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
