How do I make it so that when I receive texts my phone vibrates as all I know of right now is the notification sound it makes and thats all, help is much appreciated!

go to messaging, the click menu key, go to settings and check the vibrate option.

Or if you're using handsent etc, just look in settings for notifications.

And there is like two similar topics search much?

Messaging annoyance

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

What msg service r u using. If its 3rd party then u have to ho into stock app and tell iT in settings not to get notifications

I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.

You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

SMS APP

Anybody know of a texting app that you can quick compose from the lock screen? I had one on my iPhone and by pressing the volume key it brought up the quick compose box.

handcent has this feature. And also the same layout as the iphone!

chomp, handcent, and go i believe all have the ablity

Handcent does this for sure.

I use GoSMS, but Handcent and Chomp achieve this too. I tried Handcent and it had some really nice features, I just didn't like the appearance of the app...just personal preference. I haven't tried Chomp, however it looks nice...Just too lazy lol.

I have handcent but how do you set it so the quick reply is used from the lock screen?

I use GoSMS. Im not aware of any feature like this. Handecent or Chomp might have it.

GOSMS does have this option. its in the notifications settings, enable popup windows. then go into default notifications, and check 'unlock screen' and 'screen on'
it doesnt leave the lockscreen locked afterward, but quick reply is cool
an alternative if you prefer to use the stock sms app, you can use an add-on called SMS popup and it has this feature too. i prefer sms pop up myself

[Q] Notifications with text of SMS

With Sense and CM10.1 on the Evo 3D, I could read texts or at least see who texts were from without going into the messaging app. With Touchwiz on the S4, the dropdown notification just says that there's a new message. Since expandable notifications are a big part of JB, why doesn't the messaging app use them? Is there any way I can change this behavior without rooting or installing another ROM yet?

Download another messaging app such as handcent or go sms?

1. Go to the messaging app.
2. In the main part of the app (not inside individual thread) tap settings button.
3. Scroll down and look for the "Preview Message" and check that option.
4. Multiple messages can be previewed by sliding down with two fingers on the message notfication.
5. Hit thanks if this helped

This.
It's a feature some people use because they don't want their messages being shown the second they get them for privacy in case anyone is looking at their phone. Be sure to peek around in the settings.

Stock Messaging app. You can set what alerts (if any) you want through the settings in the app. All except for presidential...you have to take them (if you keep the app).

Wow..very cool. Found the setting you refering to.
Thanks dude.
