So about handcent - I get no notifications whatsoever.
First I disabled stock SMS app notifications (because it rang twice on every SMS) and it worked fine. Then, when I tried the handcent widget, I suddenly stopped getting notifications. Even after removing the widget or reinstalling the app, still nothing.
dialerOne problem :
It's not really a dialer one problem, rather a stock dialer problem. After I click on a missed call notification, it opens up in both dialerOne and the stock dialer.
Hope somebody can help me...
Can you at least help me with the notification problem ?

Try chompSMS, free on marked..
It has apps even on the widget, so I think I'll rather stick with the stock app :-/
try removing handcent and reinstalling it (do a reboot in between).
nope, doesn't help

I would like to share my problem with you, I own a P-500 I bought last week and much prefer to use go sms pro instead of the stock rom application, because it's just ugly. The reason that I don't want to root it is for the guaranty I don't want to lose.
The problem is that even I read my sms with Go sms pro, the notification of unread messages still appears on the lock screen. Does someone have any solution? I tried with many of launchers, the results is the same.
1st of all, rooting does not void your guaranty, only if they find out that the phone was rooted. If you root, Install original lg fw through LG update tool when you want to send your phone to guaranty & you should be fine.
I wrote already a post about notifications. You have to disable notifications in default messaging app before you install a 3rd party msg app. I have not tried it with go sms, I had the same problem with it. But that was when I disabled notifications in default msg app afteri installed go sms. Now i'm using handcent sms, disabled notifications in default msg app before i installed handcent sms. Everything is fine & nothing's duplicated. I hope this helps.
first of all thanks for the reply, I tried to make like you said but it didn't change at all notifications on lock screen continue to appear... do you know if root can make something for that?

Did you uninstall go sms before turning off norifications in default sms app? If not, try that. Uninstall Go sms, reactivate notifications in default sms app.. do a reboot, deactivate notifications in default sms app & install go sms again. Do a reboot. If that does not help, try the same with Handcent sms. I like it a lot better than go sms btw hm rooting shouldnt change anything, rooting just gives you full access to the phone, thats all.

For many people, android 2.3 solves the problem with duplicate notifications on the lockscreen. But that does not solve the problem with duplicate notifications in the notification bar.. atleast not for me, I have tried android 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 & 2.3.3, custom & original roms. Now i'm on 2.2 Void.echo rom & have no problems with notifications.
I have the same problem. Of course notifications on lock screen under big clock isn't same that notifications on status bar. I use 2.2 root stock rom. My solve this problem - uninstall stock sms app - go sms are fully functional without stock app, even mms - but notifications about sms on lock screen disappear.
Handcent sms don't have this issue.
I wrote to go sms devs, but no respond.
Yeah I uninstalled and do all the stuff... before trying with Handcent, and it works but just with Handcent and no Go sms pro. That surely means that the problem comes from go sms, so for the moment I'll use Handcent waiting for the dev find a real way to solve the problem.
Thank to you two!
Hi. After rooting I uninstalled default sms applications app. Now I notice delivery reports on Handcent (message received by persons I send it to notifications) don't work. Yes my network supports it and it is set properly. Did I mess it up by uninstaling default app? The weird thing is also that I still get incoming message notification of default app in status bar.
Is uninstaling default app that caused this? I also removed timescape and some sns stuff. How do I fix it, can I just get default sms app somewhere??
Also I have some problems with Market. It keeps saying download starting but I'd doesnt. What should I do?
Please anyone?

The only way to fix this is by installing a fresh stock ROM again (obviously thru SE Update service) Thats how i fixed this problem on my phone. And a tip do not remove system apps before you know it is 100% safe to remove just google ''x10 mini safe apps to remove list'' before you do anything stupid with your phone
Hi guys,
Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?
Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.
Thanks xda, keep up the great work.

Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some of the talented devs here can get that to work with handcent in the future.

I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON
Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works

I have been using this method, too. I wonder if Tasker could mimic the effects of Smart Alert?
Hello,
For some reason on my Nexus Galaxy I get SMS notifications just fine for everyone, except my wife.
I have done the following things that I have seen in other threads but none of them seem to have worked
1. Checked to ensure notifications were on
2. Installed handcent and made it my default SMS client (got notification of SMS from my wife)
3. Uninstalled handcent and reverted to the stock SMS app (did not receive notification from my wife)
4. Installed Textra and made it my default SMS client (got notification of SMS from my wife)
5. Uninstalled Textra and reverted to the stock SMS app (did not receive notification from my wife)
6. Disable Messaging App
7. Rebooted Phone
8. Re-enable Messaging App
Guidance appreciated.
Thank you

i want to replace the stock sms app on my k900 with go sms pro. how do i do this? i've already checked in the go sms app that it be the default messaging app but i still get double sms notifications and the stock sms app is still active. i can't find anything in the system or messaging settings that would normally turn off the notifications for the stock sms app just like in my past htc's and xperias.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the messaging setting you can turn off auto message checking and popup windows and notifications. I haven't tried but I think that should work. Goodluck

i already did all of that but still i get double notifications and messages. it seems that the system still prioritizes the stock sms app over a 3rd party one despite having the 3rd party app be explicitly the default SMS app. i've had partial success with textra. i still get notifications from the stock sms app but at least not a double message and i could just ignore the unopened text messages from the stock app until i have to open them at a later time. but i still wish there was a way of totally replacing the stock sms app. this app seems to be bundled/attached to the dialer and contacts app instead of it being separate and only able to "talk" to the dialer and contacts app. seems lenovo doesn't want the user to install any other app that tries to replace the ones that lenovo put in place. for shame in this.
in any case, this'll be my first AND last lenovo phone. i've been badly burned by this very simple yet intolerable (for me) experience. i think this goes against the android ethos of being "open" considering it's a "goolge" android OS.
can this problem be solved by rooting the phone?
No. The only way is to hard remove the app from the system/app folder. But you will be doing that on your own and at your own risk. It's not recommended..

Found a simpler solution it's almost stupid. It was staring at me the whole time. Went to settings>apps>contact manager. Unchecked notifications then pushed force stop and then disable. Replacd my dialer/contact manager with go contacts ex. Now, I'm happy. Didn't have to go through the mess of rooting and flashing a custom rom.

Try add new contact. Works? Probably no. If you want add new contact, you must enable contact manager again and disable after adding. A little uncomfortable. Do not delete contact manager (ideafriend) from system/app!
ist for dialer, contacts, SMS messaging and call log. The unfortunate solution. unfortunately.

it's quite the opposite everything's working fine. go contacts replaced the stock contacts manager flawlessly. i already added 2 contacts and edited more than half a dozen old ones. received and made phone calls without a hitch. like the old lenovo contacts manager never existed in the 1st place! now i can use my k900 with much more tolerance until i could to sell it ASAP and get me back to an xperia.

Interesting. When I unchecked Show notifications, press the Force Stop and Disable in Settings / Apps / All, calling through third-party application goes normally (tested to Go contacts and Ex dialer), but using these applications not join a new contact, I can not edit an existing contact. It just goes through the built-in Contact Manager. The same if I add a contact via SMS third-party application (for example Go SMS Pro).
Really? Hasn't happened to me yet (unable to edit) I'm using go contacts pro as my dialer and contact manager. Like i said before, i added and edited contacts without problems. Hmmm...

Go Contacts pro doesn´t work on 4.3. I try without Go Launcher, with Go launcher and nothing.
