A SMS app with disappearing pop-up - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, I am looking for an sms app with pop-up, which would appear for only few seconds and then automatically disappear. The thing is that when I am driving and using satnav on the phone I need an ability to read quickly sms but I do not want to poke my finger to the phone trying to get rid of them.

There's an sms app called QKSMS, it has a banner notification. But it's an app currently in development. You may search it in Google plus to jion the test community and download it.

Can't mass text using google voice and sprint?

I can't text more than one message to any person at one time. This includes both mass texting and sending large compound messages.
Searched google and the forums but see no fix. What do I do?
Thanks

I ran into this problem when I merged with Google voice.....it was the only reason I un-merged.....
Google voice does not support sending messages to mutiple people at the same time. You could use your stock message app to send messages to mutiple people but the responses will come back into Google voice. The other option is to un-merge.
I am using my stock app... Google voice is integrated to my account with sprint

I send messages to groups all the time. Yes, to send them I have to use the stock app but its not hard. Before the integration replies came in another thread, now it comes in a different app, not a big difference to me, it all pops in the notification bar anyway. The only thing I miss is the pop up message from handcent they you could reply directly from.

[Q] Best app for Nexus 7 as phone with GV

So I have decided to pick up a Nexus 7 to use as my primary phone. I will be using a T-Mobile hot spot when mobile, and possibly a spare Android phone to throw in my pocket when the tablet just isn't a possibility. I will of course be using Google Voice with an app for calls and SMS. 99.99% of my phone use is just text or data. I am currently using talkatone free, which seems to work ok except the fact there is no notifications for SMS. I have to open the app and "check sms" just to receive them. I want an app that will show a new message notification in the notifications bar. One that would light up the tablet would be ok as well. I have seen there are some other apps, but I don't want to start buying up apps just to find out they still don't do what I am looking for. Any suggestions?
I use Tablet Talk, its well worth the money.

How does it display new messages?
Just like your phone, a notification with your choice of ringtone, and a messaging interface

Keep in mind that Tablet Talk will use your plans minutes and text messages. It simply syncs your phones texts and phone calls to your tablet. If you want to make phone calls going through GV then I would recommend talkatone. Ive used many of the apps that claim to make calls through your gmail account but all have failed, except talkatone. Yes, there is a slight delay but its not that bad. On other apps the delay would be 1min or more which is totally unacceptable. Stick with talkatone, its free and it works. I have been using it for a while now and have noticed quality and delay improvements as it has been updated.
My problem with Talkatone is that I don't get SMS notifications. I have to open the app and "check SMS" every time before it gives me the new ones. I can't seem to find any option in there that would turn on notifications or auto sync. This is annoying as I have to proactively be checking for messages all the time instead of just being notified.
A friend is running the same app on his iPad and when he gets a new SMS message it plays a ring tone and shows an number in the upper right of the app icon showing he has a new message. Mine does neither. Then again he is on premium, is this possibly only a feature of premium? I just have no desire spending $3-5 on apps just to find out they lack this basic feature which kills them.
Well it's not a premium feature as I went premium and it still suffers from the same issue. I don't THINK it's a setting on the N7 itself, as I receive notification for other apps just fine.
Try to contact the developer

[Q]A way to delete voice mail notification?

As the title says.. This voice mail notific is annoying since i dont use it.. And i need a fast way to remove it.
Is there any app that those so?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
btw just found a way by clearing Phone Data.
i will like to find better hack like erasing it using the clear button on the notification bar,
like old cm7
Just a note it will come back when you reboot or get a new voicemail. I discovered this when I went on Straight Talk, I wanted to disuse their voicemail and use Google Talk exclusively but it sends a signal because they want you to setup voicemail.
I guess the best thing will be maybe to contact the provider and disable it totally!

[Q] Search Text Messages

Is there a way to search within text messages using either the stock messaging app or the in-built google search? Example: I know I recieved a text message with the word 'theater' in it. Can I somehow search all my text messages for the word theater.
I'm almost certain I had this feature with my G1, Nexus One, and Nexus S... Did Google take it out?

You can search using the stock messaging app. Using the search function.

There should be a little magnifying glass in the middle of the stock messager app

Ditching Samsung's messaging app

I've seen instructions on xda for replacing touchwiz apps with the GS3, and it's been claimed that it's possible to delete the Samsung messaging app in favor of another sms app.
So I've frozen the Samsung messaging app on my SG4, and I've installed the jellybean build of Google's messaging app. But it doesn't quite work? I can successfully send sms messages (I'm on rogers) and I can receive sms messages if the sms message app is open. But when the app is closed and out of memory I don't get sms.
It gets stranger, though. When I thaw out the Samsung messaging app, I seem to get my sms' again, but in the Google messaging app. Which is sort of what I wanted, but I'm left wondering why the Google app can't work on its own.
Has anyone else tried this and gotten it to work?

Have you tried leaving the Samsung SMS app unfrozen, and simply turn off its notifications? Sometimes that's what you need to do in order for 3rd party SMS apps to work, because the background service is tailored for the OEM's app. So you have to let that retrieve the messages and save them to the SMS/MMS storage area, which other SMS apps can then retrieve the data from.
Although it is strange that the AOSP app isn't working. But it's worth a try.
