Hi,
I just flashed my ROM and the message icon on the front page (today screen) occasionally shows that I have one or 2 messages in my SMS/Text area, but there in fact is nothing at all inside (folder is empty). How do I refresh and remove the number 1 or 2 icon next to the message image on the SMS today screen?
Thanks for your help.

Sometimes it does this with MMS i found. I just go into the message and fiddle around and then it goes. I dont know if thats the real reason for it but it fixed it for me!

Gotcha And Is there a way you can add custom sounds to the Alarm or for Incoming text messages? I searched other areas of the forums and I converted it to .wav, however, the file still wont appear in the Alarm "Ringtone" dropdown box. This is the same case for text messages under Settings > Sounds and Notifications as well
EDIT: I guess I'll use gAlarm. If anyone has a cab or fix for the SMS/Text issue im having that would be great. I'm using Shpes rom. Thanks.

No there's nothing there. Does anyone have any ideas please? It shows "1" message in the SMS/MMS Inbox but there isn't anything in the folder. On the bottom it displays SMS/MMS 0 Items.
EDIT: I've also tried using the "Clear SMS/MMS message tool under settings, however, there seems to be 1 message stuck and I cant get the icon off my today screen Any help would be appreciated.
May be you can just text yourself a msg , and when you receive your own msg , see if the icon makes any change .

Ok I am trying to find a way to turn off the Mail Icon and SMS icon that show up on the top bar when either of these types of messages come in. Now I did find two ways to do this, but that also turns off the notification sound. Details below.
The one I found to turn off the SMS was:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings - SMSAvailable DWORD=0
The one I found to turn off the email was:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\
{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} - Options DWORD=536870912 (decimal)
When I would either get a SMS or Email, the notification light would flash, and on TF3D It would show the number count of new messages without the redundant icon in the tray showing too. I thought GREAT! But then I tested it a few times even though I though it was working was no alert sound.
Basically what I am trying to do is keep the same functionality but without the extra icons in the tray. I do not know why I need both a new email/sms count with the TF3D as well as the same notification in the tray.
Anyone out there have any ideas, or clues????
As far as i know when you change the value in the reg to "536870912 (decimal)" for email notifications, that your are actually disabling notifications altogether for that function. Meaning that i dont think you can disable the icon without also disabling the the sound.
I feel you on the whole 2 notifications thing being kind of redundant. This has also bothered me for some time now.
My olny thought would be to maybe replace the icon with a blank icon but i dont know maybe somebody else has a better idea
OK this might sound stupid... How does one replace those icons? I have thought of that as well. But I have not seen a jpg, gif, png of any sort on this device of those icons?
I can make the icons easy once I know the process to replace them. Anyone able to assist in that process?
The icons are stored in dll files, so you cant just replace them with another icon real easily. I dont know too much about this, i still have some reading to do.
FInixNOver has a nice thread explaining it though.

I might try doing something this weekend on it but im busy the rest of today. I think post #5 on that thread is were the SMS and Email icons are discussed.

Thanks for this, as I was looking for a way to disable the email taskbar notification and this seems to be working fine.
While I would also like to disable the SMS taskbar notification, that one's not as critical to me right now. Seems like there should be a way to separate out the taskbar notification from the others. After all, sound and led notifications are broken out separately, why not the taskbar notification? As usual, something that should have been added into WM long ago but still hasn't been...
Did someone manage to fix the issue? I have the same need as rdhose.
I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent or something.
-bZj
Hi, I've recently installed handcent sms to replace the default messenger on my P500 flashed with void rom.
Now my problem is that every time I receive a new message and read it with handcent, the lock screen still shows that I have an unread message. I've pretty much disabled everything I can in the default messenger settings but its still no good.
So anyway around this problem? Will I have to uninstall messenger? If so, will that have any adverse effect on my phone?
I had same prob.
I removed handcent then reinstailed and rebooted, that fixed the problem for me.

i have the same problem with my p500. but i will give my shot to this solution.. thank you. hope it will fixed my notification in my screen. even if i don't have any unread messages.
----------------------------
UPDATE!.
not working ... still i have notification in my homescreen when it's lock.
I have an issue similar to this. When I get a new SMS message, my lockscreen will say "651 unread messages" and then that text will scroll down and disappear and be replaced with "1 unread message". It's not a huge issue, but it is annoying. Anyone find a way to get rid of this double text? I have notifications turned off in the android messaging and all the regular stuff you'd expect done, yet this persists...
i have the same problem, the workaround is to remove the default messaging app.
However this broke MMS for me, I was unable to receive them anymore!!
Any other solutions?
Remove lock screen message notification
Regarding this bug what i observed is..,
1. To remove Notification like "1 unread message" on lock screen, you have to open default message app and close (this is annoying though).
2.Till now i didn't find any solution even after Uninstall > install > rebooting....
3. One thing we can try is deleting default message app, this is not possible unless your phone is not rooted.
and I tried this with both Handcent and GO-SMS pro, and currently using Go-SMS pro..
Anybody comes up with the solution (other than point 1) let me know..

There is no good solution. The default messaging application is hardwired to the lock screen.
- uninstall the stock app
- replace or hack the lock screen
Bug LG if you want it fixed.
Thanks for the info.., I'm still a noob...have to spend some time to learn Rooting n all other stuff.... later will try to delete stock app..
I've got the same issue but I found a way out i.e. use the pattern lock. The unread message count won't be seen on the lock screen
I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.
Tony
Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.
This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher
