Unknown text notification

ok so when I woke up this morning I had a notification that said I have a new message so I checked it but the notification would not go away unless I hit the clear button.. n when I get a new text message, it comes back along with my sms popup notification.. so I'm really confused.. this just started out of nowhere.. I have notification turned off in the system messaging app n even when I turn off sms popup notifications, I still get the notification..
it just says
New Text Message
You have one unread text message

never used it but just checked and turned off IM notifications then sent myself a text and still got the notification

That sucks. I had a similar problem with the keyboard vibrating when pressing a key. I would turn it off and it wouldn't turn off, now I have swype and it doesn't do that.

Glad you got it sorted but in future this should be posted in the Q&A forum, it's not a development thread.

SMS notification bug since update!

Hello
Yesterday I updated the new firmware and since several hours I have a really big problem.
Every second SMS does not have a notification, sometimes it vibrates but there is no notification in the statusbar. So I have to open the SMS-App to see if I have a new SMS.
This really sucks! Anyone else with this problem?

Your problem is to do with text notifications not working properly after the OTA update. The thread I have given you discusses problems about the notifications not working properly after the OTA update. You can just post in there about your problem instead of creating a whole new thread.

same problem here.

Got the same problem as well. And It's about every second sms or so. So damn annoying

it's not a bug with the firmware exactly, but rather the Messaging app. So if you download another sms app the problem will be solved. Im using Go SMS right now and no missed notifications yet. Just dont forget to disable notifications with HTC's app if you plan on getting another from the market, or you'll get 2 notifications for some messages

Yes - I also have this issue.

I have Go SMS too. Cant work out how to turn off notifications for the HTC app. Can someone tell me how...
Edit: Found it now. For anyone else, go to messages app - settings and disable all the notification checkboxes

Sure. Open the app - Menu - Settings - Untick Received Notification. Done

GO into the "Messages" app then press the menu softkey, then press settings.
This is where all of your notifications are controlled for the messages app.

[Q] Vibrating for emails.

Hi
I can't figure out how to turn this off. Every other android phone didn't vibrate when I received an email. Would only play a notification sound if it was on loud. But the nexus keeps vibrating on every single email I receive. How to turn this off? But still receive notifications

I think its a bug with the latest gmail. It did it on my Gnex after the 4.2 update as well.

Same here. I disabled vibrate in gmail but it still does.

Having the same problem with the Email (not Gmail) app. I've set vibrate to off in the email settings, but when I have the phone on vibrate it vibrates regardless. Driving me bonkers.

From my side, it looks like it was working fine after the update, but as soon as I changed the notification settings in an app, the bug appeared for that particular app.

One person did mention reinstalling the app.
Comment 12 by [email protected], Nov 14, 2012
no way to fix,
killing app,
sign out and sign in again,
restart phone,
reinstall 4.2,
killing all google service and restart again,
tried all possibilities but no solution,
There is only one way, if u have "Stock 4.1.2 JZO54K" installing OTA pack
"http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_takju/e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip"
no problem about vibration or anything else

But no one in that entire thread mentioned clearing app data. Now, if you reinstall the whole damn stock ROM with the linked zip (don't just don't, no need to be flashing radio to fix an app bug), it will of course clear app data as part of the install process, whereas just reinstalling the app over the old one won't.
So... did anyone who is having this issue, which supposedly is everyone (personally I've not noticed it because I have my phone set to vibrate when I get emails anyway), try clearing the app data?

I reported this here as well back on the 20th: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34513360

Figured it out!
Looks like the vibrate check box is just the wrong way around,
when un checked it is on, when checked it is off!
I was wanted to have them on and had the box checked and wasn't getting them, now I have unchecked the box it is vibrating on receiving a message

Unfortunately even with the latest update, my Gmail still demands to vibrate on new messages even when I have this set to off. Am I doing something wrong?

Weird its working for me. I went to settings > sound > notification conversion > unchecked it. Now when I receive an email on my gmail phone does not vibrate. Btw, i am using PA latest ROM.

maybe you have logined on several client, the hangouts will notify only one time!

I have the same issue across multiple accounts and devices. all unique accounts. all on latest stable software
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 4
Nexus 10

Same here beyond annoying.

Notification Issues
I noticed that my lack of notifications was only happening with one contact. Everyone else who messaged me would come through just fine, but my wife's messages would come through without a peep. I finally did figure out what was wrong and wanted to share that here in case it helps any of you.
Specifically, although we'd installed and used Hangouts on her Nexus, in the Gmail desktop site, she hadn't click the "Try Hangouts Now" button (left click on your account's picture in the Gmail buddy list). Once I clicked that, all of her messages now resulted in notifications on my devices. Long story short, if you're having issues with notifications, see if the person messaging you is still using "Talk". A bit silly that Google didnt move her account over to Hangouts once she installed the mobile app, but oh well.
Hope this helps.

can I ask a stupid question - is hangouts allowing for text messaging now?

Its supposed to pop up on all of your devices and when you open it on another device it is supposed to clear them in the other devices

I just confirmed that "Hangouts" does allow instant messaging - it does not hit your text messages (but it does hit your data). the other person must also have "hangouts" installed too in order for you to communicate with them via this app

thanks for clearing some things up for certain users! but is anyone else experiencing this problem besides us.

I am experiencing this too, but seem to have noticed a trend. I do get notifications but only on the device that I most recently used to send the message (not both devices like it should). For example at 1 PM, I send a hangout message to another person from my Galaxy S3, they respond at 1:30 PM and it notifies my GS3 but not my Nexus 7. At 1:45 PM I then respond to their previous message from my Nexus 7, and they respond at 2 PM with only my Nexus 7 receiving the notification. Not sure if this is just coincidence but that's what I've noticed so far.

I'm on a Nexus 4 CM 10.1 (initially RC2, now most recent nightly) w/ Nova Launcher running and get no notifications that I've been messaged. In fact, if I chat with someone via Gmail and then check in the hangouts phone app, it will typically not include the chat that was done on my desktop. This is really irritating. Uninstalled updates back to talk for now.

it is really irritating.

I had same problem with Hangouts, it coming after upgrading to 4.4.4
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. Got it working with :
Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.

Re: Facebook log in sync apps

Re: Facebook log in sync apps
I recently got this phone and in my notifications I get Facebook log in. As doing so I get a statement saying basically is it ok for Galaxy S4 to do what ever.
I finally rooted my phone and put shoShock on. I still get this annoying notification and I don't want a 3rd party on my Facebook.
I tried to look for it on my device but had no luck!
Can someone please help me!
Thank you!

Go to settings - more - application manager - move over to the right where it says all than scroll down the list and look for “SNS" than open that and turn it off. Hit the thanks button if I helped you out
