my stock sms is acting really stupid! i have always used handcent sms as my main sms app and turned off the notification settings in the stock app as to not have double notifications. soooooooo today i got a text and the stock notification pops up and sounds at the same time as handcent. i went and made sure the settings in the stock app didnt revert back to default and everything was unchecked and greyed out!!!! i also noticed that when i open the stock sms app, it no longer shows my contact icons, it just looks really bare! i tried to freeze the stock sms app using titanium backup and still the same results. any ideas on what i can do to fix this? i really dont want to have to factory reset(if i do then i guess that gives me a reason to finally flash a different ROM)! thanks in advance!

Ok so this notification just started on my Eris! when I get a message(only text not emails) this grey envelope with a arrow on it comes up in my notifications even after I’ve read and replied to the message its still there until I click it and i take me to the message that ive already replied to. I’ve turned of all settings has far as auto retrieve and text notification but it still comes up! I deleted a bunch of apps thinking maybe one of them was causing this. I called htc they had no answers but to do a hard reset and lose everything not something I want to do! So if ya know something that would help please let me know thanks!
I found a fix
Aspotcat can be downloaded from the market it will show you what is running with ur text. found out some weird app was on there but no where to be found in my phone deleted it and problem solved!
Okay..seems like you have two text message applications....
IF thats the case, then try the following:
Your stock application can be reached from the app drawer...go there and then open the stock sms application...then go to settings and remove the check next to "notification"....
Now you should only have a notification every time you receive a text from the secondary application you're using..(i.e., handcent, byte sms, etc)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If that still doesnt work...repeat the following using your secondary messaging application (handcent..blah blah)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If you're still having problems...and are on a rooted rom....reflash a custom rom and you'll be fine!!
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!
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?
A few days ago, I've lost the sms notification for the default Samsung Messaging app. If I install Go SMS, I get notifications, but not with the default messaging app, which I prefer.
I've checked all settings and have notifications turned on, but still not getting any notifications. It's not a volume issue--volume is at 100%. I don't get a sound or an icon. I've searched the web and found that others are having similar issues, without solution.
I must have turned something off or something conflicts with it, but I've tried everything that I can to fix it and am at a loss. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Have you definitely gone into sms then settings and made sure notifications are on ? If so I'd try turning off the notifications thrn closing up sms then going back in to turn on. If no go maybe uninstall go sms for now and try again

Tried all of the above and still no go.
Do you have something else set as your default message app?

Hi guys, tried searching the exisiting threads and read the help forum, but cant fina an naswer to my problem.
I downloaded and installed the jellybean messaging app for my S4 i9505 as I prefer this messager to the default Samsung one. But every time a message comes through I get two icons, two sound and two notifications for every message, So i uninstalled the default app thinking it just a shortcut to the messaging system and now no messages are coming through. I can still access my messages through the jellybean app.
Does anyone know hoe to recover the default messaging app?
Thanks
Actually would removing the default messaging app actually cause my phone to totally stop sending and receiving sms messages?
ok guys, so turns out it had just been disabled and appears way down at the bottom of the all apps section of application manager
So you can just re-enable it there. Although not sure if my sms is still working if not its obviously a network issue
