I have a T-Mobile S7 Edge and I use Textra for my messaging. Since emergency alerts (severe weather, etc.) are through the stock messaging app, does this mean I will not receive those alerts unless it is my default app?
Thanks for the help!

When I get a voice mail notification, I'm seeing the "push" notification of Visual Voicemail in it's SMS form.
Anyway that I can hide the voice mail SMS from the SMS client?
I'm currently using Handcent SMS, but I have not checked it happens with Sense stock messaging.
If you're using handcent, just blacklist it.
I didn't see those notifications under stock SMS, but handcent and chompSMS both show it. Best way to deal with it was to blacklist it. I've had mixed success with handcent (sometimes it still shows even if blacklisted) but blacklisting it on ChompSMS removed the issue completely.
Looking for a SMS message notification App for my Telus Samsung Fascinate (SGH-T959D) phone.
Currently, the phone gives only one small sound.
I'm not sure about audio, but for visual you can user Launcher Pro. In settings you can check unread sms count and it will show you the number of unread messages. It allows you to do it for missed calls & gmail messages as well.

noled app, great app
On every other android phone I've had I disable notifications on the default messaging app because I use Handcent for my SMSs. Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't figure out how to do it on the Note. Is it possible?
I like the edge notifications with the built-in messaging and email apps, but would prefer to use 3rd party messaging apps and gmail. SMS is also a concern because my car and my wearable (garmin) only send/receive texts via the messaging app. Are there any 3rd party messaging / email apps that will work with the edge, my car/wearable, etc.? Or am I stuck with the built-ins if I want those notifications to work?
Thanks,
Pete
My go-to 3rd-party SMS app, Textra, works fine with my car's Bluetooth. It reads messages to me out loud phonetically, and the car recognizes new text messages and displays a notif on the car screen (Ford Sync basic). I assume this is what the default S7E SMS app does as well? Question mark there only because I've never used the default app - Textra is always the first app I install on a new phone or after a clean wipe, along with SwiftKey keyboard.
As far as email goes, I've only ever used the stock email app for work email, although I do use the stand-alone GMail app for personal email. I've never thought about it, but you're right, the Gmail app doesn't give me the option to read emails aloud while I'm in my car - it just plays the default notification sound through the car speakers.
Hope this gives you some help at least.
Is it possible to redirect emergency Broadcasts (such as amber alerts and dangerous weather conditions) coming to S7E to Hangouts app? Right now, it is registered as my default messaging app, but if an emergency broadcast comes in, selecting it from notification panel will open default Samsung messenger app. I suppose I can disable Samsung app, but I suspect this would disable emergency broadcast reception as well. Any ideas?
