Hello XDA,
My question is about the stock messaging app and its lock screen "quick read" feature.
After receiving a new text message:
When I click on the small "Messaging - new message" notification box on the lock screen, it opens (right under it, still on the lock screen) a larger empty box (which I assume should contain the actual message).
Why is this box empty? Does anyone else have this problem? Should this box contain the received message?
Thank you!
That box just seems to be showing you the area where you need to swipe to unlock. Upon doing so, it will open the messaging app.
I wish it would just tell you who the message is from on the lock screen.

I See... well that's too bad, it would indeed be way better if it just showed message. I guess we'll have to wait for 3rd party OS!

Hello,
I am having a problem with notification messages, on the home screen I have 'notification' in the bottom left corner when I select it the box where the notification info should be pops up but its empty- just an empty white box and the only option I have on it is 'hide'. When I tap on 'hide' the box disappears but it still says 'notification' and I cant seem to get rid of it, I have tried restarting and switching off completely and removing the battery but when I power it back up its still there and it wont go away.
Anybody else getting this or any idea of how to get rid of it?
Thanks.
Password issue
I also experienced the same problem. For my case, it's related to the lock/password setting. Everytime when I restart my Touch Dual, it will bring the password skin (of course I set it up intentionally for security reason). Then, the blank message comes up after I put my passwords.
The only way to remove it is to go to the setting/lock and input my password again. Then the blank notification message will go.........strange bug anyway.
I hope this help.
Thanks, I'll give it a try and yes it is a strange bug- do you use the autolock feature?
Auto lock for every 5 minutes
yes. I set it as every 5 minutes. It will lock.
Cheers,
Same bug here on the 20 key EU version...
Just wanted to say that chris_khho's solution of locking and unlocking does workaround the problem- thanks. Still annoying though. I'm also on a 20 key European version.
Blank notification message
Actually, you do not need to enter the password for this workaround. Go to Settings/Lock. Click on Menu/Cancel. The blank notification will go away.
I'm using Lock/Password. To remove blank message (after restart) just prepare new SMS with no recipient and jump to message body, then cancel message... This removes stupid blank notification....
Mortscript to remove blank notification
I've written a script (works with Mortscript from http://mort.sto-helit.de) to remove the blank notification. I save this as remove.mscr and place a shortcut to it in windows\start menu. I'm new to Mortscript so if anyone can improve this script, please let me know.
# remove blank notification
Run "\windows\ctlpnl.exe" , "cplmain.cpl,1"
Sleep(500)
SendSpecial("RightSoft")
SendSpecial("Up")
SendSpecial("CR")
This message disapears also when u change input type in any application.
from xt9 to abc or whatever.
This Bug seems to be related to devicelock and exchange btw.
Without i don't have this problem.
If your using Exchange then it forces you to use the lock due to security settings...at least on mine it gave me a message once i set up my exchange that it had to force security policies on my phone and then had to set the lock. does anyone know of a hack/workaround to disable to required lock with exchange?
Hello.
I've noticed a small but annoying error that occurs
when selecting 'reply' [to an SMS] from the touchflo menu
when tapping on the SMS message in touchflo to open it and then trying to reply
the SMS appears, the keyboard shows for a couple of second then automatically hides itself. Tapping on the keyboard icon at the bottom opens it again, but only for a few seconds then it will auto hide. So there is no way to enter text for a reply.
The only solution is to open the SMS inbox, then open the SMS (the keyboard appears and doesn't auto hide in this case).
Have I described the scenario ok?
anyone know how to fix this, makes the device useless for SMS and email
yea ive noticed.. but i just say to hide it and then click on the msg box then open it back up.. or just w/e... haha its a bit annoying but doesn't happen all the time
Does this happen to anybody else? Often when I attempt to open a message, be it an email message or an SMS message by going to the TF3D tab and tapping on the message itself (either in the envelope for email or just the words for SMS messages) the message depresses like a button press but then nothing happens.
I just now discovered that if I click on the upper right hand corner of the screen, where it shows HTC's task managers and tasks running, I'll see a mail icon and the name "Internet Explorer" in the list. If I tap on that I get the following, ridiculous dialog box that appears to be blocking me from seeing the message:
Internet Explorer
Pross OK to continue
loading the content of this
page
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I say ridiculous because if you think about it what options does the user have at this point? The only two things he can do is 1) succumb to the demand and click OK or 2) switch to some other application and ignore this message!
Questions:
1) Does this happen to anybody else? (Note if you have any icons in HTC's upper right corner menu that have a letter icon and say anything like Internet Explorer, Text Messages or Email then kill them first by tapping the "X" to the right of them and try again).
2) How can I get this dialog box to not prompt at all? It serves no purpose, does not come up normally (i.e. is hidden) are really ruins the "flow" or user experience here!
I've also had times where I tapped "Inbox" or "All messages" because at the time I didn't know that there was a hidden dialog. In such cases the Inbox/All messages comes up but in the place where the messages should be listed is instead the background of the current tab bleeding through! IOW if you have a list of say 2 messages that you'd normally see in the Inbox, instead you'd see the background of the current tab as if that part of the window just didn't render. Needless to say that this is extremely annoying too! This seems like basic stuff. Why is it happening to me? Is it also happening to you?
Hi Folks,
This is a small, seemingly insignificant problem but it's bloody annoying so I'm hoping you can help me solve it:
When I receive a new message (SMS, MMS, Email) the little message shortcut on the desktop get's the little green '1' overlaid to show there's a message. Once I read the message and reply it doesn't disappear. I can open the message in Chomp or the system default app and it doesn't seem to register with the shortcut - it still shows the overlaid green number.
I know this is something of a trifling problem but I have my phone on silent a lot so it does cause some confusion.
Thanks in advance.
i've noticed mine staying on for a while but then disappearing... maybe it sits there for another 10/15 minutes?
Could be. I have to admit that afer about 10 minutes I've been losing patience and deleting the message, which makes it go away.
do u read ur messages through the widget page? cause i noticed that if u do, then the little green ball remains but somehow if u click on the message icon with the green ball to access ur acc and read from there, then it goes away.
I think that may be a factor, yeah. When I read them through the 'drag down' menu, either with chomp or system default it stays, I'll open the next one through the icon and see if that changes things.
I find that the trackball keeps flashing too unless you actually tap on the Messages shortcut icon to read the new messages that come through (as oppose to viewing from the notifications menu or through the text messages widget). I hope HTC fix this issue 'cos not everyone wants to go through the messages app via the Messages shortcut icon.
Yeah, I only used the messaging icon yesterday and it was fine. The problem seems limited to when you use the 'drag-down- menu.
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.
