So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

As you can see in the picture, I have 4 text messages and 4 separate notification icons in my status bar telling me I have a text from each individual person. If I were using a stock messaging app however, It would only appear as one notification icon in my status bar. Is there anyway to fix this? I hope this clears up some confusion
I think that would be how the app is designed correct me if im wrong though email the dev?

I really want to like Textra, but there's another annoying feature.
If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.

handcent??
short answer: no.
hand cent and other messaging apps just read the messages out of the stock app.
if you remove it then you won't get any messages. but nandroid and try it, don't take my word for it
You can turn off all notifications in the stock app and use handcent. It will show up in your app drawer but other than that it's like it's not there.
im getting 2 notifications on my device. i desable the notification on the stock app but still shows up.

in the stock app make sure in menu/settings you uncheck auto retrieve as well as received notification.

If you have everything turned off in the stock app then yea, it's beautiful widgets giving you that notification.
I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.
When I get a text, I noticed neither the Notification window nor the lockscreen will say whom it is from.
If you are in the notification panel you can click the notification and it will take you to the SMS app where you can see who sent the message, but if you click on it in the lockscreen all you get is an empty pop-up window in the newly-created lockscreen page.
Is everyone else experiencing this?
Neat new feature, the lockscreen pages, but I think the interaction with SMS messages is a miss... perhaps they released it before testing that.

It will probably get fixed in the next build, but those are usually few and far between when dealing with Samsung and AT&T.

Did you all tick this setting?
That setting is checked, although even when that is enabled, it shows on the lockscreen but it doesnt open the SMS app when you click it. Only an extra transparent window opens up in the lock screen.

I can't figure that transparent box either. Rather annoying, but when a text comes in the preview works in the status bar.

But i have my message icon in the shortcut down on bottom of lockscreen. If you stay your swipe on the icon it launches messages...
Hope someone sheds light on the Grey box!

Just pull down on the lock screen and it would let you tap it and then it will take you to the message..
Or when the message is first receive you can tap it
Works for me

This box?
Try swiping within thr box (as it says) to open messages. It is so you dont accidentally 'read' the message in your pocket.

How this works is when you get a text. Click on the text on the lock screen. A transparent box opens. Whem that box opens swipe your finger in that box. It will take you directly to the text from that person to respond. It works as its intended.
Go Sms works great

i miss the preview message on my lg optimus g that would give you a little preview of what is in the text, that way i can choose if i want to answer it or not from the lock screen instead of going all the way into the messaging app. also if you get a text message and unlock the phone, at the bottom the text message icon has no number showing how many text messages waiting while in the notification bar it says i have a text waiting.

Preview in Notification but NOT Lock Screen
So I like seeing the SMS preview (name and first line of text) in my notification bar pull down, but not on the lock screen. That's just kinda weird to me, they should be separate. I don't want anyone to preview my messages whyile my phone is password or pattern locked.
Anyone have a clue how to configure this???
You know how when you receive a text message and your phone is locked and sleeping... when you wake your phone the first screen you see is the lock screen widget of the person's name that sent you the message and also part of the text message as well. How the hell can I totally get rid of this?? It's veryy annoying and I'd like to use DashClock to view who texted me, not that. Thanks!
EDIT: Attached screenshot of what I am talking about.

That's what I thought too until I realized that I wasn't using any of Samsung's gimmicky add-ons. To each his own, I guess.
For what it's worth, if you click the notification and then swipe in the unlock area like normal, it'll take you right to the app with the notification. I found that out through trial and error.

I always find myself using them. Especially the IR Blaster. Quick Glance is very useful as well.
And yeah I've known that. But like I said, I'd rather use DashClock and the SMS DashClock extension for viewing SMS on my lockscreen. I wanna totally get rid of it somehow!!

This may not be what you are looking for, but I use SMS Popup for my notifications and turn off the notifications on the sms app itself. I do not get the notice on the lock screen. So I am thinking there is something in the stock SMS app that makes it show on the lockscreen. So if you any other app to get the notification this would remove it from the lockscreen. I don't know if you want to add another app to your phone to get a notification or not just to get rid of the lock screen.
I like SMS Popup because I like the pop-up message that I can reply to, however you can turn that off and just get the normal notification. I also like that I can assign a different ringtone and LED notifications to a contacts so I can know who is texting me.

Nope.... you misunderstood my inquiry.
Just got the Note 3 thru T-Mobile..had it for about 9 days. Cant send/recieve pics, even to myself.
Switched to the stock SMS/MMS app and it works fine. Anyone else experienced this? I kinda like Handcent because I can have a LED light notify me of a unread SMS/MMS..stock app only gives me a sound.
Handcent sms just updated and fixed the issue.

I'll check it out.
As much as I hate Handcent 5, I tried it, but no go for me. Again searching for a new messaging app. Stock would be fine if it wasn't bubbled.
Themagicm, did you have any luck?
Yes. Seems to be working for me. I'll test some more and if it craps out I'll reply back.
False alarm. Sending works....some recieving works. Uninstalling. The only reason I use it is because I can change the LED color to notify me of unread TMs.
I just now uninstalled Handcent as well. I went over to goSMS. Far from ideal, but at least I can again send receive MMS, as well as receive MMS over wifi.
The original messaging app works for me though...I just want the LED to flash a color of my choosing. Lol

I paid for it and used it for a day. Buggy, UI layout can't be changed only colors, stuck in conversation style, when using dark theme you can't see new message notifications on your conversation list since there's no way to change the black highlight color.
I'm sure it fills a niche and I see it has it's fans, but the sliding seems gimmicky and underwhelming. even with the maximum customization that I could do, the best I could do is get it close to 8sms, which is more reliable and less bloated.
They definitely need a free version, or at the very least, a trial period. There's too much in the app to get a feel for it in 15 minutes, and you'd spend most of that time attempting to MANUALLY configure it to send and receive MMS.
I say all this not to bust on the app, as it may be just right for some, but just to throw it out there that if you're used to a handcent-level of customization, this isn't for you.

I dont know what you did but you can change the UI layout. There are 4 different styles. It isn't buggy for me. maybe bad install for you. I do admit that sliding between messages wasn't for me so i disabled it in settings. In theme seting in sliding menu mode choose fullscreen sliding menu or choose no sliding menu.to change display layout it is under theme settings too. Mine highlight color for new messages show up in red highlight and I chose Dark blue theme. Yea like you say it might not be for some.

Right. The layout, meaning where things are located, is the same though. Just the styling of the layout can be changed. For example, I want my contact picture on the left, so that it's in a vertical list and not alternating.

Ahh. I didn't notice that. It would have made it a bit more pleasant. Thanks for at least making me aware of it. I had done the SMS app search before and came up blank so it was at least interesting to learn about and try something new.
