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.

So when I get a new SMS I get multiple notifications. On the status bar, I get the little yellow envelope thing AND some kind of white envelope thing and that makes my phone beep twice. This has happened since I OTA'd to JI6.
I get two vibrates and two ding sounds ._.
Any help appreciated.

You have downloaded some kind of texting app (Handcent/Chompsms/SMS popup?) from the market. Just disable notification from one of them.
I haven't downloaded any of those In my settings, there's an option for notification, but I can turn the notification sound to "silent" but it still double vibrates + shows an extra icon at the top. In the SMS app, there's ALSO another notification setting. I want to use the SMS' app's notification because its not accurate.
Did you download a messaging widget?
I still haven't solved the problem, and no I didn't download a messaging widget =[
Have You tried disabling the notifications in the stock messaging app? what happens?
My wifes phone is doing this also. Hancent and stock set to silent, but still getting a ring and a envelope icon that takes you to the stock message app. Fail. We have the same apps, but mine is fine

Thank you!!!! I had the same problem and it was driving me mad for months!!! I thought it was CM6 doing it this whole time because I just couldn't figure out what was doing it after I disabled notifications in every sms app.....stupid widgets lmao
I have used the stock SMS program, Handcent, and GOSMS. All three are great, however this is my issue. Whenever I receive a message, via Handcent or GOSMS, I get the notification (in the status bar as well as a pop up notification). However at random times, the message I received does not appear in the message thread, when ever I get into my inbox. I will try to describe it as clear as possible. For example, I receive a text from Bob, I get the notification w/ a popup window. The message says "whats up?!" and I quick reply. But when i go into the inbox to view my thread with Bob, his most recent message to me does not show up, but my reply to him does. I have tried turning off the pop up notifications, same thing happens. I get the status bar notification, but when i open my inbox, no message appears. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I hope someone has experienced this. Thanks in advance.
Anyone know how to disable the text message scrolling in the notification bar when you receive an SMS?
I still want to receive the notification, but not the message body scroll through.
I'm VERY sure there was a way to disable this in previous firmware, but buggered if I can find this on KF3.
Anyone?
Go into messaging>menu>settings>notification settings>notifications then uncheck the box.
But then I don't get the notification envelope - which I still want.
I just don't want the message scrolling through the notification bar.
I also would like to know that. And the same problem when I get a very long gtalk message.
I want the notification but I do not want it to show the entire message.
My bad, sorry didn't read the post correctly, afraid I don't know.
Hello
Having just got my lovely blue S3, I have been going though setting things up.
I have noticed that when the phone is locked and I get a text message when I go to unlock I see a lovely icon saying SMS and the number of messages in it.
Is there a way of getting the same type of notification with emails? Is there a setting I need to turn on?
Thanks. eon
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
