As far as I know, there is no way to disable the Faves notifications. I had to remove all my Fave contacts to stop the notifications because they were becoming annoying.
remove all the myfaves from the list, and back out of it.. all notifications will stop being sent and doubled
Not a huge fan of the "Faves" app....tried to install the People Widget from HTC and it wouldn't install....
i'm actually not getting the double notifications that you all are referring to and i have a couple of my contacts set up as faves. i can only recall getting 1 faves notification before.
the only fix i would probably suggest is that when you set up faves, the address book adds those contacts in a separate T-Mobile listing or group. under your contacts and the 'View' menu option, deselect 'T-Mobile'.
please let me know if this works for you all.
ok i retract that last post and statement. thing was, my task killer was killing the faves notifications. disabling my task killer brought back the doubles.
has anyone tried to stop the process in running services?
I've tried everything I can to try and stop the double notifications, the only thing that works for me is deleting the faves that were added. I ended up adding "Direct Dial" shortcuts on one whole screen to avoid the faves app altogether.
I hope someone can try and figure out how to install the apps that were left out of this version of Sense. The only app I've been able to install that was not included in this version of sense is HTC Navipanel. I really want the People Widget, it is mush better than the faves gallery...

Eris grey envelope with arrow wont go away HELP!!

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!!

dual messages

I have a question regarding using second party SMS/MMS messaging program.
I have and like Handcent much better than the stock messaging system, but the issue I am having is that once I view the message on handcent, I have to go the the regular messaging program and view it there to get rid of the notification.
Is there a way to turn off the stock messaging system so that only handcent comes up?
Just go into stock messaging and turn off the notifications.

Thought I had, but went back in and realized I had not. Thanks for the response. Serious blonde moment going on here.

Stock V20 + FB Messenger notification remaining after reading.

Has anyone else had this happen and found the fix? I can disable notifications for the app, and that eliminates it, but then I don't see that I have new messages on my second screen.
Clear app data

notification not showing up on messaging app

so i encountered this issue recently on my phone. basically i dont see the number of meesages notification on my messaging. i get notifications on the status bar but i cant see how many unread messages i have unless i go into messaging. i tried force stopping and clearing data/cache, another thing i will try to do later is switch to a third party messaging app and then switch back to see if that made a difference.
