I have this problem with my Vibrant in that whenever I receive a text, there are two notifications in my status bar. I use handcent sms and disabled the notifications for the default messaging app, but I still get two notifications, one being the handcent and the other is this small white rectangle that looks like an envelope. is there anyway to disable the small envelope icon?
Delete Handcent and see if the problem still occurs when you set the regular messaging notifications back to normal. if not re-install the Hanndcent application, disable the notifications first for the default then set up the hanndcent ones. See if that helps.
I did that, then turned off all notifications, but i still get the white envelope.
Are you sure you don't have a third sms app installed? That "white"envelope is suspicious.
White envelope is the default Handcent icon. I get the same thing.

What does it do when you hit "test notifications" in the handcent notifications menu?

I've never gotten a number of emails on my gmail icon. That's through 4 different phones. I've gotten it on texts, emails(via stock email), voicemails etc but never Gmail. Just the "M" icon.

Hmmm, am I going crazy? Im for sure I saw it..lol
install the app "gmail notifier" & you'll get that.
it works fine except the text under the icon doesn't exactly match the other icons. if you do like I do & eliminate the text under the home screen icons, it works great.
I bet you were seeing the HTC mail app icon? I think that shows the #...
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199518. follow it well. reinstall your launcher with built in notification after reboot and it'll work like a charm

The gmail notifier app I'm using even works with sense and the newer gmail setups (long after the notification quit working in LPP Plus)
It creates it's own home screen widget.
shouldn't have to install something as a work around to something that's already built in

I'm having trouble with Handcent and notifications - namely double notifications with the stock Messaging app (even when everything is checked off in the ATT app) and then the Handcent app can't wake the phone, just makes the alert sound, of which there's two separate notice sounds.
ALSO, no red dot notification on the HC widget using Go Launcher EX with Go Notification installed. Any ideas?
just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications...... i had to do it, and had to do it with gosms.
yes.. go into default messaging text app click menu,,scroll to bottom and disable notifications......then in handcent click menu>Applications setting> Default Messaging application >Allow All Sms & Mms ,for default..
I've already tried a variety of SMS apps such as GoSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS. I'm looking for one now that can handle group chats, MMS, and emoji. GoSMS is too bloated with unneeded features, Handcent is kind of ugly and Chomp hasn't supported group chat for me very well. I'd stick with the stock messaging app, but I hate motoblur and after the OTA update to Jellybean, I seem to be stuck with that until a root exploit is developed.
Input appreciated!

I am searching for an app that opens the screen every time I recieve an message. I already tried "SMS popup" but the app is very buggy, I always get double messages and it interfere with viber. I dont want to press the power button everytime I get an notification or message, it is quite annoying
i use chomp sms with emoji add on, it's fine i guess. What i still want is an app that incorporates the emoji keyboard, has pop-up notificatiions when i receive a message, and handles group messages like the iphone(i know, im sorry for mentioning it) anything like that?

HandCent SMS
Handcent SMS
Go sms
Been using Go SMS for the last week or so. I like it. It gives a lot of flexibility and customization. As well as doing a pop up notification for new messages
I ended up finding a themed mms.apk and pushed it to /system/app and changed permissions to make it work with the ROM I am currently running. I prefer the Google Stock mms.apk to Verizon's Motoblur anyday. I just thought that Chomp was too simple and Handcent/GoSMS were too crowded with unnecessary features. Thanks for all the input!
I've actually tried some of the most common ones, like Go SMS, Pansi and so on - but the one I like the most is Chomp!
Only the paid version is ad-free - but it really is worth the money! Simple SMS app, with alot of customizing - and no slow-down extras (I'm looking at you, go-sms). And it does support full emoji, including the new ones with only one button.
Try it - I was amazed : )
(oh - and the pop-ups can be enabled in settings btw... )
I must be one of the few that hate pop-up messages
No - I actually really HATE those pop-ups myself - So I've deactivated them in Chomp!
Sliding messaging, give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5rbGlua2VyLmFuZHJvaWQubWVzc2FnaW5nIl0.

Yes and you can turn them off in settings.
I can recomend Handcent SMS.
Does anyone know if there is someway to modify the stock sms app so when everytime u get a message the phone unlocks and u can reply? I know there is sms popup and I have been using it for a very long time now but the app is very buggy. I get duplicate messages all the time so its very unstable. I like the stock sms app but everytime I receive a message I need to unlock the phone and drag down the notification bar. Any other suggestions?

I have been using Handcent for a few years now, my only consistent complaint has been that it runs like it is a huge program and has slowdowns.

Is there a way to only install circle widget and I wonder if its compatible with nova launcher prime?
So, a little while ago I had to reinstall the stock texting application and odex file on my s4. In doing so, I can send texts again like new but for some reason it's not displaying the notification for a message on the lockscreen.. (rectangle that says "New Message" that you click that takes you to the thread) I'm not sure why it's doing it. I have the notifications enabled and hangouts disabled. (turned off) The screen still lights up with a new text and vibrates and even has the status bar notification, just not lockscreen. If anyone can help me, that'd be awesome. Also, can we keep the bias 3rd party messaging opinions out? Thanks so much in advance!
What ROM are you running? Are you using a custom clock widget (like Dashclock, cLock, etc.) or do you have the stock Samsung clock?

Thats strange. try clearing data on messaging and then re-check preview message in messaging settings.
Yeah, I tried that.
So here's what I did to fix my issue,
1: I was running the build.prop hack for the s5 status bar. I returned to stock build.prop and did a battery grab reboot.
2: Not that it's relevant, but I cleared all data for Google play services.
3: *Important* I cleared my cache then all data for the Messaging app in settings. Reboot and reopen the app and it worked good as new. I hope this can help someone with the same issue.
