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.
I posted this in the G2 forum, but I can't seem to search for that side. So I figured I'd put it here too for more exposure. It's annoying as all hell.

Normally messaging app has a setting to show notifications in the status bar. Just go to one of the messaging apps and disable it.
Hope that helps.

No-one has a DZ yet though, they haven't been shipped. So you'd be better off in the G2 forum, I suspect.

It sounds like a software issue anyways, and the Desire Z will be running sense not T-Mobile bloatware;P
JD
As others said, no one has Desire Z yet, but your issue looks like if you have the standard messaging app doing his notificatons, while at same time you have some alternative messaging app installed as well, which does it's own notifications too. For example if you install Handcent SMS, then you get notifications from both standard messaging app and Handcent too. You have to disable the notifications from one you don't use.
Is there a way to get Quick Reply and pop up SMS on Touchwiz?
Not with the stock messager, try out go sms or Handcent from the play store if you'd like that feature

Yes, try the SMS Popup app, works great with the stock TW messaging app. Highly recommended.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just came here from a search. I'm trying to get quick reply in the notification (as well as other options that are in vanilla / CM android such as mark read, delete, etc.) I also want it to display the text in the notification bar WITHOUT also putting it in the lockscreen... any suggestions? I can't believe the stock app is this bad!
Thanks!

thanks!!! just out of curiosity, do you mean TW themed? I'd switch back to CM, but there's still an audio call bug plus the camera app is far more limited etc.
And second question... is the messaging app on vanilla android as limited as the TW one? i.e., are the extra functions added by CM only?

1. Its not the TW messaging app, its a themed version of the CM one that works on stock based roms, it replaces the stock TW messaging app, and also deletes all your texts when you flash it, so make sure to backup all your texts. Also read the OP to know which version to download.
2. Yea. It doesn't have quick reply or anything.

OK thanks a ton!
I use go SMS pro. I tried using the SMS pop up and didn't like it too much because when I was replying to a long text I wasn't able to see what the person wrote to see what else to respond to. I came from an iPhone which I could bring down the message I was typing down some or cutting and pasting it back quick. This s4 is my second android phone I've ever had since the first mytouch on T-Mobile and android has come a long way since which I love my s4 a lot but there's still stuff I miss about the iPhone.

thanks I don't want a pop up per se, just the text of the SMS in the notification drawer and the reply / read / delete options underneath as in CM 10.1. Sliding Messaging seems to be working for that, but that means I have to use a totally different app...
I have a permanent notification:
"Tune In Radio Pro Is Running".
How do I get rid of this, without affecting the functionality of the app? (I want it to show a notification when I am listening to something).
Is this possible?

Did you look for the app in system>apps and disable notifications?
I have this same issue. I clear notifications but they come back. I deselect show notifications in system settings and get the same notification later. The only way to stop it is to turn it off in the app settings if there is one.

Ah. I have 2 apps that run in background that do NOT show these persistent notifications... They both happen to implement a user setting for notification priority (which I have set to lowest/no icon). Co-incidence? Maybe we need some app changes...
You can find the answer here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/05/17/light-flow-update-teases-new-version-of-android-may-require-persistent-notifications-for-some-tasks/
Crappy news none the less.
Apps were always supposed to show that notification when running in the foreground since they can have a huge impact on device performance and battery life.

A foreground service is a service that's considered to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate for the system to kill when low on memory. A foreground service must provide a notification for the status bar, which is placed under the "Ongoing" heading, which means that the notification cannot be dismissed unless the service is either stopped or removed from the foreground.
That's the problem I think. What we consider as background apps are now behaving like foreground apps. As said previously it's an app problem. Had one fixed already

I posted this in that Google+ thread, but would be interested in what folk here think:
---
So what's the proper way to do this now (stop apps you want from being killed yet never show a notification)? Is it possible?
There are several utility/monitor type apps that the user would want never killed. But to have a persistent notification gets in the way of 'normal' notifications (aesthetically) and makes the status bar and notification shade look very busy. Would it not be better to allow the user to set that persistent notifications don't show for selected apps of their choosing?

You may be able to still raise the background threads priority with android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(), but I haven't tried it from a service yet. Even without it you should still be okay though unless the system needs to free up some memory.
You can also tell the system your service needs to be restarted asap with START_STICKY or START_REDELIVER_INTENT.

Have Persistent Notifications After You Upgrade To Android 4.3
Posted by Bertel King, Jr. in News
Anyone who has made the jump to Android 4.3, which admittedly isn't that many people right now, may have noticed that some applications now plant persistent notifications in the status bar. We offered this as a disclaimer in our post about manually updating a Nexus 4 to Android 4.3. Turns out, this is completely intentional. Android now forces persistent notifications on unkillable apps that run silently in the background. This is an attempt to call attention to behavior that isn't quite okay.
Notifications3
Many developers have made their applications impossible to kill and don't alert users to the fact that they're still running. They do this by creating a malformed notification object that doesn't appear in the status bar but still tricks the activity manager into allowing the service to enter the foreground. This is great for snooping, but that doesn't mean that only malicious apps adopt this behavior. As Artem's screenshots show below, the Network Monitor Mini Pro was one offender, but the developer has since updated the app to fix the problem.
Notifications1 Notifications2
While Android developers originally wanted to force quit apps that submit malformed notifications, there are simply too many out there for this to be a usable approach. Instead, Android will alert users to the offending apps, and developers will probably be inclined to change their software once users stop using their products and/or bring public shaming down on their heads. Hopefully the bulk of them will have been fixed by the time most phones make the jump to the latest version of Jelly Bean.

Totally lame. I have an app that silently runs in the background all the time and I know this. I don't need Android reminding me of this every time I swipe my notifications menu down.

Open Tunein, go to settings, scroll to bottom, and disable receive push notifications. This removes the persistent notification.
Edit:
Comes back after a reboot.

If you do the research you will see that the current super users are using a temporary work around to get it working as SUID is now blocked. You can even read the debate about it on may of the expert developers Google plus pages. Root is bearly working completely while we wait for a perm fix to be found.

Problem
-------------
Hangouts crashes trying to send SMS after 4.4.3 upgrade. 3rd Party apps do the same. As soon as you start typing hangouts crashes.
You disabled "Messaging" before the upgrade and can't re-enable it. "Enable" is grayed out in the Settings->Apps menu.
Solution
---------
In the Settings->apps menu - the 3 dots menu has a "Reset App Preferences" option. It re-enables ALL disabled apps. This will fix sending SMS/MMS. You can't have it disabled in 4.4.3 safely.

OK I found a fix. In the apps menu - the 3 dots menu has a "Reset App Preferences" option. It re-enables ALL disabled apps. Not ideal since I'll have to re-disable the others I don't want. But at least it gets messaging re-enabled.
That makes SMS work again oddly enough. Just need to deal with having a "messaging" app in the drawer that I don't use I guess.

Nice! Thanks for posting the fix, could come in handy for me once I switch to 4.4.3 as I have 68 services/apps frozen =P
I also had this issue. I factory reset, which is usually a decent idea after updates. It definitely had something to do with messaging being disabled and I couldn't reenable it either. Glad you found an alternate fix, loving the update so far

Yeah if I had been rooted and done titantium backup recently, that would have been my approach too. I didn't want to have to redo all my apps and settings etc. Glad I didn't have to.
I didn't use TiBu to restore. It's weird but this phone is the first that I don't really back things up like I used to. Mostly cause I have no risk of breaking stuff via flashing nightlies and the like. I've had iffy experiences restoring old data on to new builds so I started from scratch. So far so good.
Yeah I had this too. After the update, i could receive but not send SMS/MMS. Had the stock app previously disabled and then the enable button was gone. Drove me absolutely crazy last night and most of today. Tried half a dozen SMS apps and even downloaded two entire Roms to get their MMS.apk and try to install them (which did not work at all). Even deleted all my messages with an SMS backup app. Nada. Moto support (obviously bad idea) said to clear cache for entire phone, which totally could have worked but was completely unhelpful. I did dozens of Google searches about it and came up empty every time. I was just about to give in to a factory reset, which I consider the my last resort, and I checked the action overflow in the disabled apps section and found the "reset app preferences". Then just browsing XDA for battery tips a few minutes later, I came across then. I even checked the Dev section earlier. But I guess I should have checked general. Thanks for putting this out there for others to find.
Thanks for this solution. Made life better for me. I guess 4.4.3 doesn't allow us to disable the messaging app.
You are the man! I thought I was the only one having the problem. Thank you! :good:
me too. I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread. Not being able to send texts was a bummer. I was using some feature called "voicemal.":silly:
why is there no landscape mode in messaging app? Am I missing something? This is my first oneplus phone. I'm using ultimate rotation control app which works but would think there would be a way to do this without a 3rd party app.
I just filled a form at oneplus.com/support/complaints:
Hello
On the OnePlus 6T, some native apps simply don't rotate.
This is the more frustrating especially with Messages, since I'm used to type text in landscape mode with my 2 thumbs.
OnePlus users should not have to install and run a 3rd party app providing forced rotation control, just to add such a simple basic feature to the stock messaging app.
I Hope this will be fixed in an upcoming system update, being very happy with my purchase apart from that.

to which I replied:
Hi (xxxx),
Thanks for your quick answer, but you missed my point.
It's not a matter of clearing cache: some of the stock apps on the OP6T just don't auto-rotate BY DESIGN.
If you have a device near you, just see by yourself:
For example, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts and Downloads auto-rotate just fine.
But others, like File Manager, Clock, Messages and Notes just won't. Even when auto-rotate is set on in quick settings.
This is especially annoying with Messages and Notes for people who prefer typing text in landscape mode.
What I'm saying is that OnePlus should push an update so that those basic apps can auto-rotate, just like on every other recent phones.

Until then, besides lots of more or less shady snoopy free apps, I tried those two which I found to be the most privacy-friendly:
jp.snowlife01.android.rotationcontrol ("Rotation Control" by HDM Dev Team, 2.49 € after 2 days trial)
Cleanest and simplest-no-fuss configuration interface, but you can't get rid of a permanent system notification "Rotation Control overrides blah blah".
nl.fameit.rotate ("Ultimate Rotation Control" by FaMe IT, 2.99 € after 7 days trial)
After properly configured, the fastest and seamless experience. Does not even appear in battery use.
Lets you completely forget about it, as if the stock Messages app was set to auto-rotate natively.

^^This. Use the Google Messages app rather than the OP app. Google's rotates.
They told me to do a hard reset after the same response I got as you. And I'm not willing to pay any money for an app to rotate just one app. Thanks for the follow ups.
Good news: stock Messages last version (4.2.0) can auto-rotate.
It's available here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl.../oneplus-messages-4-2-0-android-apk-download/
OnePlus obviously doesn't push stock apps updates with OS updates (on 9.0.11 the apps versions are still from early november, why is that??), but we can get them all on apkmirror :
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/
I just updated some which description indicates "Target: Android 9.0 (Pie, API 28)", being Messages, Camera, Gallery.
OP Launcher should be ok too (I use Nova myself).
Others like Notes or File Manager still indicate "Target: Android 8.1 (Oreo, API 27)" and I don't want to mess anything (I use another FM anyway).
I uninstalled Ultimate Rotation Control but I don't regret those 2.99 € for 2 months texting in landscape mode ha ha.
Just wanted to let you know Messages now allows it natively.
Looks like it may be coming in an update. This is from the beta page on the OnePlus site for open beta 3....Just a heads up for those that may not have seen it here in the open beta thread.
