I was just wondering if anyone out there knows if there are any apps available that will do two things that I miss from my last Nokia.
The first is an app that says who the caller who is currently calling is so you can tell who it is before you take your phone out of your pocket.
And the second app is one that works with your messages and reads them out to you when you receive them. I used to use this function while driving so I didn't have to read the screen.
I'm not 100% if these exist as the market is so annoying at showing certain apps on certain phones. But if they do then please let me know and offer any suggestions on how to get my UK desire on t-mobile to see it and use it.
Thank you

I have both the yahoo app and kik app installed. For both apps, I get notifications on new msgs and sometimes I don't. What causes this, and how do I make my phone always get these notification without leaving the apps open?

Am I the only one having this issue?
Well I'm not exactly sure what else you got installed on that phone that could be stopping it from showing notifications. My best guess is that if you have a task killer (Either an automatic task killer or one that you kill everything yourself) and you killed them at some point it wouldnt show the notification.
Example would be a long time ago when I was an android noob I used handcent but wondered why sometimes handcent notis would show up and not other times. Then I ignored it in advanced task killer, and viola. All is well. Perhaps this will solve it. Maybe not. Some people don't know any better though.
Sorry man, I don't follow your response.

Typically each app that notifies will have a setting for it within itself, ie handcent. Also auto task killer programs, if you have any, make sure they are not set to kill whatever task you want to notify you.
Further, if you are not using the stock messaging app go into it and adjust the notification settings to not notify of messages. That way you won't get double double notifications or conficts.

I am now randomly getting my text notifications stuck in the bar. Even after I read them the icon is there an the light still flashes.

Me too wished I hadn't bothered.

Glad I am not the only one, so fare I tried to disable incoming text notifications and then reboot. After reboot I enabled them again. changed nothing. Thing is I find the problem to be totally random. Dose it sometimes and its not for the same contacts.

I have had the same thing with the notifications, but along with it I am not getting notifications for half of my texts, I only notice I have some of them my manually looking into the messages app.
Tried rebooting, changing the notification settings etc and nothing works!

Have the same problem. Exactly every second SMS does not have any notification! Sometimes it vibrates, but there is no notification in the statusbar...so I have to open the SMS-App.
Now I will miss every important SMS and I have to check all 10-20min to be sure -.-
Hope there will be a fix!
Got the same bug. This is a major bug, and htc have to relese a bugfix asap! This bug makes the phone useless. Can't thrust the phone anymore...

I also have founders problem when using the mail app. I have a hotmail and gmail account linked. When I have the all acount view on angst an email I go and read it but the notification is still there. Also wanted to add that for both mail bad messages I have the notification light in use.

I guess im really lucky. I updated and have had no problems whatsoever. Not even that 100% CPU bug. I couldnt be happier. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i followed hamdir's guide to install the update and keep root and s-off.

The sms-bug isn't there all the time. I've only got two txtmsg that didn't trigger the alert. And I got a lot of txtmsgs. But the two that didn't trigger the txtmsg receive notification was two important txtmsg, so I no longer can trust my phone.
I do not have the 100 cpu load issue. So it has nothing to do with that. My battery is just as good as I think a battery should be on a phone in this class. The only thing that really drains my battery is the Angry Bird Seasons. But I'm addicted, so I keep on playing

Same here, its completely random which messages it happens with and it is not the same people that trigger it too. So far I have seen no pattern to the messages with, for example it is not every fourth message etc, they happen at random intervals and the only time I know there is one is when I actually open the inbox.
This needs fixing asap!
Just like to say 1. I have a dhd sim free on official Rom. 2. With regards my notification problem the best way to save you having to clear the notification bar after you read the text is it to access your text via notifications bar in the first place.

looks like i spoke too soon.. someone sent me a sms and i hadn't seen it cause the phone didnt notify me. Only when i went into the messages app it showed :/
edit: and now im getting the notification stuck in the bar at the top HTC need to get on this.
its a very random issue. started happening to me after i deleted my HTC sense account (and then reinstalled it) after doing the OTA update to deal with the 100% CPU issue
Can confirm that trying a different messaging app from the market will fix both problems. The one with stuck notification in the bar and the one where you don't get a notification. Just make sure to disable notifications in the stock app.
Ty! I'll try that out later.

my buddy just went from his old blackberry curve(original) to an evo. he is wanting to be able to just hit something and block all texts/emails/notifications after a certain time of the evening and only allow phone calls to come in. he said his old blackberry he could just put it on phone only. is there an app or a setting to do this in one step on our evo's? i was thinking just toggle the network off. i would think that should knock out emails for sure but i don't know about gmail or texts.
not sure about an app but i am certain cynogens mod has a quite time feature that does the same function
Called Bedside (night clock) in market place... its a buck or 2 but worth every penny... does everything you needed
I work off hours and now only get calls/ msg's that i want and no others... the choice is yours
sweet dreams, timeriffic are both free
Mr call block and handcent..

Shameless self plug... Locale plus my Call Filter plugin. Some of the other apps mentioned can do it, but locale does a lot more and has better usability imho.
I believe Tasker can do that but don't quote me on that...

Hey everyone, anyone know if there is an app that wakes the screen on incoming text? I'm always on silent mode at work and need a way to know when I get a text.
I looked and couldn't find anything that looked like it.
I'm using paranoidandroid 1.9.7 rom if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Can someone move this to the app forum, my bad, forgot to switch when posting

I believe go sms has that option your looking for
Also, MIUI defaults this way. You may not want to change ROMs, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
I will check out go sms. I had handcent before which did it too but there are too many features built into it that I don't want, but I like the native app because it's simple and looks nice.
And thanks for the suggestion.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 4g
I prefer to use the native app on my phone, and I often have my phone on silent as well, so I use Tasker + the Secure Settings plugin to wake my device when I receive an SMS.
