Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of an app similar to SMS pop up (or Go SMS pop up notifications) that worked with stock SMS app. I want to keep stock so the lockscreen notification (that only appear for missed texts) still work, but with SMS Popup on the "close and mark as read" does not work and it also makes it so if I open a text thread it isn't marked as read - I have to click the exact message within the thread for it to be marked unread. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks!
you'll probably just need to wait for the app to be updated. With the S3 being such a big phone I'm sure it'll be updated to work with it soon.

Hi, I've been unable to turn up any help on this matter with searches but I wonder if anyone knows a solution.
I received a text this morning and I saw it appear in the notification bar, I also saw who it was from but didn't get to read it before the notification disappeared. I went to my messages and the text is nowhere to be seen in either Handcent or Messaging.
Now when I receive ONE new message my notifications say I have TWO unread and the Handcent widget also shows a 2 but still the mystery message cannot be seen.
I've of course rebooted and also tried this app which simply didn't work but if someone has made an app surely this must be a known bug?!
I could delete the message thread I know but I'd like to read the message first and also simply get to the bottom of this strange error, any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas on this?
So far the only way I've found to get rid of the invisible unread SMS is to delete every SMS thread. However, if I then restore them from MyBackup for example it comes back.
I'd really like to know how to properly fix this.
I have the T-Mobile G2 and I'm getting a "You have new unread items" 1.5 Generic Text icon when I get a text message. It'll also show the 2.2 icon when receiving a text. It's odd - I'm not sure what I set that made it do this. But I can't find any option for it anywhere. Also, it plays the default notification sound - not the one that I set for SMS.
Anyone know what the deal is on this? I'm seeing these "similar threads" and I saw one for WinMo, I'm going to look to see if they have a similar option for "Show unread texts" in Android.
No one has this issue? I've removed all my third party apps - same thing.
Sound like you have two messaging apps maybe disable notifications in one of the apps

Do you have stock launcher?
i would do the full reset, if it does not help, exchange the phone.
I use to use 'SMS Popup' to have a popup box for txt messages where I could quick reply or dismiss messages. With all 2.2 roms it seems that this programs 'close' button no longer marks messages as read. Anyone have a favorite SMS addon that has a popup box with quick reply and dismiss kind of features?
I don't like Chomp or Handcent. I'd prefer something that doesn't take over the native messaging app but is just the pop up stuff.
Anyone use one successfully with our beloved Epics?
the close button marks read for me
Try "SMS Notifier".

somewhat related, if you use launcher pro, there are dock notifications you can use and assign to a swipe gesture on your dock icons. (menu, pref, dock settings, dock notifications; then long press dock icon, swipe gesture action)

Try Go SMS on froyo, I started using it and it works great. Also has the pop ups where you can respond
thx, will give it a shot. I actually tried SMS notifier and that didn't clear them either. I'm 100% sure I turned off the native messaging notification too. Maybe this is one of those weird glitchies that a wipe and flash takes care of? Trying Go SMS now... thx.
just noticed something weird and maybe it's a bug of sorts. When I text myself from an email account (which is how I've been testing) it doesn't seem to work. but when I text from a cell I think it works. Oh well, I'll either follow up with a dev or not : )
hey guys searched but did not find the answer....
I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?
Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.
Thanks in advance all
I would recommend downloading chompsms. I just did this for the first time last week and it blows away the standard android sms app.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find the answers to both question. I downloaded the Handcent sms app and so far loving it, i'll give chompsms a try.
SMS notification bug
Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

Factory restore after update helped to solve this problem
Desire Z
I have the same issue and it wasnt this way on the vibrant or the original MyTouch 3G. When someone sends an MMS, say a picture message, it shows up as a short 10 second video. I have tried saving as an attachment but didnt seem to allow me to do that.
As the title said, just recently, and for no discernable reason, I am not getting text messages. However, because I had turned it on in GoSMS (the sms app I am using), I can see the text come in, and actually read it as it scrolls in the notification bar. I can even go to the messing app and reply without any problem, at which point, I start seeing the messages from the other person. But that is the only time I see messages...when I am in the app.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? I deleted the stock messaging app at one time maybe a week ago (to try and avoid multiple sms notifications), but I have since extracted it from a backup and reinstalled it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
