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

Hello.
I have problem with unread sms notification (not in "top status bar") bellow big clock on lock screen. I use GO SMS app, but it occur in Chomp SMS, SMS Popup and not in Handcent. When I receive SMS it normal show notification text, I open sms, notification in top status bar dissapear, sms it's read, but when I lock screen there is still info shows one unread sms. It only dissapear when I open stock SMS app. In stock app sms of course is read.
I have turn off notifications in stock SMS app.
How to fix that?
Android 2.2 rooted, but on 2.2.1 problem still happen.
Same here, this is the reason that i have returned to Handcent...A bit resource hog but it integrates in system much better than any other sms app out there.
Same problem here, its really annoying.
I wonder if removing the stock sms app would help, but i'm affraid it would still be the same, but then without any way to get rid of the unread message on the lock screen.

I never send any MMS, so that would not be a problem.
But would removing the stock sms application cause other problems, like being unable to send/receive sms's, or perhaps something totally unexpected?
I have removed stock sms app about two months ago, and I don't have any problems - mms work correctly. But You must enable option in important tips in go sms - "Stock app removed".
Install both handcent and go sms... only keep the notifications of go sms.. thts it u dont get any sms notifications on your lockscreen.!!
can tell me who knows how to disable SMS on the lock screen?
I do not know if that's what you mean, but in the Windows settings (not Sense) Sounds & Notifications you can set whether to show or not sms.

Read you new SMS, if it's there, simply restart your phone
I need to be when it comes to new sms, not shown here just no icons. in the settings sms all disabled, does not help.
yet found a glitch in the switch off the alarm, they are still every day work))
I have been using Handcent for awhile and really like it. But yesterday switched to Go SMS Pro to check it out and because I like some of the themes.
But I noticed, unlike Handcent or ChompSMS, it does NOT have a popup window with incoming text on the Lock screen! I like to check out my text and maybe send a quick reply without unlcking my phone.
I can't find the option anywhere in Go SMS Pro, so I think it doesn't have it. I'd like to continue using it, but I think I'll have to go back to Handcent for the Lock screen text.
Does anyone know of a way to have it pop up on the lock screen? I did email the author about it.
You must have looked extremely hard.
Settings > Notification settings > Enable Popup windows

Thank for the reply.
Yes I saw that, but that only is for popups if you are already in the phone. That doesn't enable lock screen popups.
On the lockscreen, it will light up, but only show you on your status bar on top of a new text, not an actual popup.
Do any popup windows happen at all, or just not on the lockscreen? Do you have a pattern/password lock?
I have been using widgetlocker for some time now and the popups come up fine for me. I have flashed many roms since starting to use Go SMS and never have had this problem. Im thinking either go sms is corrupted and you may need to uninstall and reinstall, or the stock lockscreen is getting in the way
I get popups over the lockscreen.
EDIT: Attached are the seetings that work for me...
Funny, pops up on my lockscreen just fine.
Sent from somewhere far far away.
I notice it doesn't really seem to work on my Sensation. Could it be because of the new lock screen (Sense 3.0)?
Well I am running a stock Atrix, and even after reinstalling I still don't get popups on the lock screen. I get them everywhere else though. Also I have all the appropriate settings checked.
A friend with an HTC Incredible has the same issue. It might be a bug in Go SMS Pro?
I uninstalled Handcent first before I installed Go SMS Pro, do you think maybe there is a residue setting in there causing this?
I would doubt it. Try clearing Go SMS data and cache and having another attempt.

Well tried that, and even uninstalled / reinstall one more time and still no go.
When I get an incoming text when the screen is off, the lock screen will light up, but the text shows on the status bar on top and doesn't have the popup/quick reply window like it does if I am already in the phone.
I guess it is a bug in Go SMS Pro for some phones.
Sounds like you might be right. That's a bummer for you. The irony is that I have disabled my popups as I don't like them

I selected the following option
notification settings > screen settings > unlock screen.
That seemed to have done the trick for the popup to show for the designated amount of time (10 sec for me), and it doesn't actually unlock the phone. Once I reply/delete or close the popup, I am prompted with slide lock and unlock pattern.
Droid Eris with GSB v3.8 CM7
Security lock settings:
Screen timeout delay: 10s
Screen turned off delay: 1s
Slide lock settings:
Slide lock separate delay enabled
Screen timeout delay: 5s
Screen turned off delay: Immediately
Maybe this will help
I tried messing around with the notification settings and checked the box that said unlock screen when receiving a message and had my friend text me. the text showed up over the lock screen so maybe that helps?
i'm using a motorola atrix.
I had the same problem with gosms. The only way I found was to check turn lock screen on, in the menu underneath the enable the pop up line and it worked. It does wake your phone though.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA
Enable unlock screen under "Notification Settings > Screen settings > Unlock Screen" and that will take care of it. Dont worry it will not actually unlock your device.
Doing this enabled popup on my locked screen. Using Samsung Galaxy S3.
Try using the unlock screen option with pop up enabled. If I helped...... Thank me please.
Go SMS pro doesnt' allow me to reply from a locked screen either on SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

I have the same problem as well. It simply doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S4 either. Even if you setup and use all the appropriate settings, as the below poster said, it still requires me to swipe and unlock my S4 first, then I see the pop up sms. But having to unlock the phone first; to then be able to reply to a text is pretty sad and useless. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a fix for this, or a properly working "quick reply" out there in the ANDROID WORLD...LOL.
I'm looking for something similar to BITESMS for iphone 5 (which worked pretty darn well for me).
Does anyone have any recent news for the quick reply issue with the S4?
Thanks.

I have the S4 and using GoSMS pro. You have to enable "Turn lockscreen off" under the Settings > Advanced > Notification Settings > under "Screen Settings" you need to make sure to check the "Unlock Screen when receiving messages" and "Turn on Screen when receiving messages" once this is done....you need to make sure you are COMPLETELY backed out of GoSMS Pro to test it. When you receive a text message the screen will be unlocked and ON. Once you respond or "X" out of it...the screen will lock again.
Hope this helps.

I have a GS4 with these settings on go sms pro:
"Unlock screen when receiving messages" checked ON
"Turn on screen when receiving messages" checked ON
When I get a text, my screen turns on, but it shows my regular lock screen with the pattern grid, and then only shows the go sms pro notification icon in the notification bar up top.
I'm looking for something that will be like the stock SMS app on the GS4, where you get a text message and it shows you on the lock screen above the pattern grid.
Yeah, I did what you guys said but when I allow unlock phone and turn on screen when I get a message it takes me directly to my go SMS app inside of the phone! Lol. I don't want that, I just want that little tiny popup window on the actual lockscreen itself. I have a note 3 Qualcomm.
I have been looking for an app that will remind me when I miss a call or sms. Missed Message Flasher appears to do the trick. However, I cant get it to work with SMS. I think the reason is because on our phones, the screen turns on when an new SMS arrives. Turning on the screen disables Missed Message Flasher. Has anyone got this app to work on the SGS2?
I have used noled from themarket on my captivate and sg2 and it worked very well. I a. Going to check out the message flasher now

I miss BLN from my captivate. But, its not fully functional. It works, but causes battery drain after its activated. The phone can't get into deep sleep mode again, until the alert is cleared. I hope every day I go into the dev section to see some good news about BLN.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
I use Missed Message Flasher, but I disable the actual flashing of the screen and use it just to give me an audible notification of missed messages every 120 seconds. That way it doesn't mess with my screen being off or cause any unnecessary battery drain.

I cant get it to work with SMS. Can you please let me know what you do? I think because the screen turns on when an SMS comes in, Missed Message Flasher disables itself.
Do you have the box ticked in your Accessibility settings (to allow it to grab messages)?
If so then there really isn't much else to it as long as SMS is checked in the app's settings, and the phone isn't in silent mode...

I think my problem is that I dont use a lockscreen/keyguard so when the screen turns on as an SMS is received, MMF disables itself. I guess I have to re-enable my lockscreen.
Help w/ setup please
I'm just trying ' Missed Message Flasher' after flunking a couple of others, which i've uninstalled.
My problem is with 'Sound' and with GoSMS Pro, my messaging package.
I have 'accessibility' ticked, but the flash package is not activating when a new message comes in. anyone have a clue?
also, I set 'sound' to use the same sound the GoSMS package uses [which is one of the options under MMF]. But when I set that tick, and exit the pane, the "Sound" setting still shows "None". in fact, any option I pick results in the same.
is there a forum dedicated to MMF??
thanks folks

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
