Is there some SMS solution to show incoming SMS on lock screen lot larger than in notification bar? I've tried Handcent, but it only shows first SMS not the latest.
Also is there a way to simply delete messages without extra two clicks confirming it?
I would like to know this as well, the lockscreen is under utilized in android
And than if you have face unlock it does not even show, so you either have security or functionality. I just came from 5 year old Windows 6.5 phone at it was more user friendly than ICS to me. It is a step up, don't get me wrong, but basic stuff is done with more clicks than in Win phone...

Somebody cracked/hacked the OS SMS app and posted it over on PDAPhoneHome:

It's working on my 8125 so far. It's kind of limited (all notifications and SMS related events still open the Outlook/Text Message app), but if you're having a conversation with one person it seems to work nicely.

o2sms
i have been using this program and its great, i keep it minimized so when i get a text i just hit the icon and just use it for my sms. the only problem i have is i wish i didnt have to manually open the message so that the notification goes away. i have been looking for a reg hack that will still notify me via tone and vibration when a text comes in, but doesnt sit in the notification area. i aslo use pocketplus which allows you to preview texts and reply from them from the today screen, and right now im kind of torn between the two.
Hmmmm...I'm not using PocketPlus and I can also preview text messages and reply from the Today screen, are you sure that's not a WM5 attribute?
But you're right, it would be nice to have all the alerts, and default SMS handling go through this app, and I know there are some developers working on just that. But until then, this helps a bit.
I only use it when I get a message that I expect to turn into a conversation with lots of back and forth dialog. Most are ask/answer/done or just informational, but a few I get during my week I can pretty easily tell will involve several back and forth points. Other's text usage may not be so clear cut so this partial functionality is not good enough.

O2SMS
I am using the wizard and used the O2SMS programs for a few months. I often use the program to send to a group. I notice sometimes that while sending out to his group (1 by 1) the program will stop sending and close. Does anyone else have this issue..if not any suggestions to fix
thanks
screenshot please
I've used O2 SMS Plus also, but I must say that Palm Messaging is more, if not fully!, intergrated in the "system"
yes
i love palm messaging
I get a number of notifications for tasks that are due, calls to attend, new emails, other appointments etc but they don't seem to be very nicely handled on the Touch HD.
I had an Excalibur before and that presented a screen with all the notifications listed that you could delete or postpone.
On the Touch an icon appears, the you have to select another alerts icon, then you get one alert shown at the bottom of the screen and when you have dealt with that, the next one is visible.....
Have I missed something native or is there a better notification manager application?
TIA

+1 this is annoying
why did they remove the usual popup and event-based softkey remapping
+1 same here, there should be something better for handling those popups
I thought i was the only one. Is there some way that we could fix this issue?
phonealarm
Have a look at pocketmax phonealarm which handles all notifications in a very flexible way.
Well pocketmax is not free, and as the notifications were pretty ok in the stock OS... I think there must be a way to get rid of the roadblock that prevent these to happen as usual without adding another 3rd party
Same here, it is ****ing annoying to press 3 buttons all over the screen just to turn alarm off.
Someone posted on Friday I think a tweak to settings to allow the pop ups to appear better....
start>settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications (choose Messaging: New e-mail message) then check the Display Message on Screen box. Repeat for Reminders etc.
Still not perfect cos you don't get the message on screen if it was activated whilst the device was locked.

Nice one (and so easy.... )
I have done a bit of searching for this and I am having a difficult time finding a solution to my problem.
My problem is, I can't access individual notifications anymore.
I have the HTC Pure, (hence why I'm here), when I touch the top of my phone, the black bar on top with all the icons, to access the notifications section, I am able to see the new notifications, like alarm, message sent, and any other reminders. I can highlight each one, but it no longer pops up the chosen notification. I can't individually see whats new and delete them after, the only way to clear the notification region is to hit "Dismiss all"
I have the original rom that came with AT&T wm 6.5, there are only two programs that I have installed that I can think of that MAY affect the notification section of my phone.
The BKalltabs manila 2.1 wvga - which just lets you put up a picture for all the tabbed backgrounds, rather than just homescreen
The HTC hotfix for text sms - for the pure phone rather than the tilt 2 which was mentioned in this forum
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580679&page=2
I feel that this hotfix which "stops" the message sent notification in reality just prevents my notifications from working correctly - I say this because the "message has been sent" still shows up in the notification area...just doesn't pop up anymore.
Sorry for the long message, thought I would try to make it as detailed as possible.
Thanks for any and all help

Edit/Delete Message
I recently bought a HTC HD2 and like the phone a lot. I have a problem with SMS and whenever I search for the problems with SMS they are all old and about lag which obviously was a big problem. Mine isn't as big of problem but is extremely annoying.
When I get a new message, whether on the lockscreen or not. If I use the navigation tabs to view the SMS (which you have to do from the lockscreen), I am 90% of the time directed to an older message in the conversation and not the NEW message. So then I have to scroll up to view the new message.
This is extremely annoying and I know I cant be the only one to have this problem, but it is definitely hard to search for this because it is hard to describe. Please someone help.
Also, would there be a way to go from the new SMS slider on the lockscreen directly to "All Messages" so you can bypass seeing the sms on the white sheet of paper and then having to click that to answer. Its a lot of steps for nothing.
same problem here, on Miri's ROM. it is annoying (as is the fact that when i start writing a text, after a couple of seconds the focus moves out of the text entry field, and hence i can't type any more without clicking in the field again.
not found a solution to either of these.
I've seen a thread about this yesterday I think
Anyway, just disable the SMS tab... If you do that, tapping the notification will open the Messaging application.
i suspect going to an old message from lockscreen is caused by the same thing that makes appointments stay on the lockscreen for a while after they have ended. basically the lockscreen controls poll the registry for the info that is displayed, but it doesn't update itcontinually.just now and then
I disabled the sms navigation tab and that seems to work better. The SMS app is still not as smooth as i would like it to be but what can you do...
Dear, This thread already posted. search for smstimestampfixer 1.3.cab. gud luck
Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.
Mike.
