With android 4.4 giving the ability to select the default SMS app, could someone with an official s-view cover confirm whether any sms app can give a notification?
On 4.3, the S-View cover would only show an SMS notification if the message was taken through Samsung's messages app.
If kitkat allows you to select your own sms app, could someone confirm if the s-view cover still shows notifications with hangouts handling the sms?
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn't turn up anything in my searches.
Many thanks in advance.

Only shows Samsung's SMS app, Hangouts just has an icon in the corner, I haven't tested any other Apps. So cannot comment on them.

That's disappointing.
Thank you for checking though!
I was hoping Hangouts would work, but figured as this case is made by Samsung they want you to use their app.

I use to use 'SMS Popup' to have a popup box for txt messages where I could quick reply or dismiss messages. With all 2.2 roms it seems that this programs 'close' button no longer marks messages as read. Anyone have a favorite SMS addon that has a popup box with quick reply and dismiss kind of features?
I don't like Chomp or Handcent. I'd prefer something that doesn't take over the native messaging app but is just the pop up stuff.
Anyone use one successfully with our beloved Epics?
the close button marks read for me
Try "SMS Notifier".

somewhat related, if you use launcher pro, there are dock notifications you can use and assign to a swipe gesture on your dock icons. (menu, pref, dock settings, dock notifications; then long press dock icon, swipe gesture action)

Try Go SMS on froyo, I started using it and it works great. Also has the pop ups where you can respond
thx, will give it a shot. I actually tried SMS notifier and that didn't clear them either. I'm 100% sure I turned off the native messaging notification too. Maybe this is one of those weird glitchies that a wipe and flash takes care of? Trying Go SMS now... thx.
just noticed something weird and maybe it's a bug of sorts. When I text myself from an email account (which is how I've been testing) it doesn't seem to work. but when I text from a cell I think it works. Oh well, I'll either follow up with a dev or not : )
So as you all are aware the stock touchwiz SMS app has the online notification indicator for SMS messaging. Since we are all getting forced slowly but surely over to hangouts and this status indicator is deeply tied into g-talk is there any way to keep this once we are al forced onto hangouts. With the online/offline indicator showing up in hangouts now I would like to switch over from talk but this one feature I have grown to love must work.
Is there any possibility or workaround to this? It works if you still have take and all others have hangouts but once you upgrade that functionality is lost
Please help or direct me to he right place
Thanks

My S-View window does not light up when I receive a new email notification from Gmail app. I have to hit the power button or open the phone cover to see if I have any new emails, and that is when I will see the notification. I want the S-View window to light up when I receive a new email like it does when I receive a new text message. Is this something that is in a setting I need to change? Or do Gmail notifications not cause the S-View window to light up? I am using the S-View flip cover if that matters.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
This is also occuring with my Hotmail notifications through the default Samsung email app. It seems the only notifications that 'wake up' the S-View window is my text messages. Is there a third-party app that I can download that will fix this?
Thanks.
Bump, Gmail is working now but not other email. Any suggestions for third-party email app that will work/light up with S-View window?
I have recently started using Chomp SMS because I hate the default s5 messaging app, but I have stopped receiving text push notifications on my s view screen. If I switch back to Messaging, they come back. Does this feature really only work on their own apps or is there a work around for this?

You are correct, the sview cover app only supports the default messenger.

Hello,
I used Disa for Facebook and WhatsApp. I found that after adding text messages plugin began to display notifications from WathsApp and Facebook in the Alway On. Maybe it helps someone

Samsung, should have thought about this before offering always on display. I mean, we check for what is sent and if I have to always touch my device for every notification then, what is the purpose? A clock?
Disa wants me to remove the Whatsapp app! Of cause I am not willing to do that, for It might remove the conversations.
So, I could not test it.
It will show AOD notifications only if also used for SMS?
Yes.
What is the extent of the notification ? Only a symbol or some text?

You can backup all your convo's in whatsapp also so its a easy restore if you want to install it again.
thanx! it really works! whatsapp + sms = notification on AOD!
screenshot please
sorry, it doesn't work. I configured facebook and whats up, but when I received new messages nothing had shown on AOD
