So I feel pretty stupid asking this since I am not a n00b to Android but this is my first Sense phone.... And yes, I have tried searching!
Is there a way to disable the text message pop up on the sense lockscreen without disabling the notifications? I love the lockscreen but I hate the fact it shows who is texting me. I am using widgetlocker for now but I would love to go back. Any input is appreciated.

The only thing I can think of would be to use GO SMS and turn on the "privacy mode." Disable notifications on the sense messaging app. It should push the GO SMS notifications to the lockscreen and will show as just "new message." I haven't tried it but it's worth a try.
You should be using GO SMS anyway. The sense messaging app is horrible.

In the stock messaging app. If you touch and hold a message in the conversation you have the option to lock a message....however all it does is put a lock icon at the bottom of the message. I'm not noticing any other difference. How exactly does it work other than maybe tagging messages and still making them visable?

this is just to lock the message so if you delete the thread the message wont be deleted. It isn't to lock the message so no one can see it.
For that check out ChompSMS (not sure if handcent can) but with chomp you can go to setting->security pattern lock, and turn it on, and set your pattern. I think TigerText is on android now too
I've tried chomp and hand cent however I've had probs with mms . Thanks though

Your best bet if u wanna lock messages is App Protector Pro.
seems like there was one called cheatalot. something like you would launch the calculator, and shake your phone and it would open the "secret" texts or something.
ive looked around a lot but havent found an answer yet, but sorry if it is a repost
anyways, i have been using handcent and i love it. but i was wondering if there was a way to also show the text message preview on the lock screen like the default messaging app does without turning on the default messaging's notifications.
or maybe there is something that allows handcent to have the pop up show ontop of the lock screen?
thanks
As far as i know handcent can't be used on the lockscreen. But handcent will cause a wake lock that bypasses the lockscreen if you answer the text quickly. Handcent is great. Its what i use.

what do you mean by wake lock?
currently what i did was enable the messaging app notifications to have it show on the lock screen but it still shows the icon in the notification bar. and if i turn off the handcent notifications, i cant get the popop.
the only nice thing is that you can use the messaging app notification and have it open in handcent, but i still want the popup after lock and during use.

The popup is the "lock screen" notification. Normally programs are not allowed to unlock the phone. They do it this way so that the first thing you see is the popup.
At least this is my understanding of it. To allow the text actually on the lockscreen would require lockscreen modification i believe.

How do I get the previews to show up? Not the 4 app shortcuts but the preview if you get a text message or misses call it'll pop up on tje lock screen. My wife's EVO 3d does it

It should do it automatically. What lock screen are you using? (Ex. Wallpaper, Stocks, Weather, etc.)
You have to have notification turned on for sms. Phone should work on its own.
Im using weather and its not. Im using regular sense 3.0 lock screen no custom launcher

i have the same setup as you, weather lockscreen and no custom launcher.
i do get the missed call/sms notifications. i didn't change any settings and don't remember turning on any notification for phone calls anywhere.
perhaps experiment with other lockscreens to see if you get missed call notifications on them? at least you'll be able to determine if just the weather one doesnt show the notifications or if all your lock screens dont show notifications?
the other solution which comes to mind if wiping the lockscreen data settings storage with the assumption perhaps something got corrupted somehow.
might be worth double checking any type of notification toggle for missed phone calls, although i don't recall seeing that ... prob worth checking sms notification toggle also.
hope that helps, let us know.
I don't get the sms notice but I am using handcent...I do get the missed call notice....Using viperrom and the weather lockscreen.
Go into settings -> privacy -> display message text. Make sure that is checked and you should be good to go
Oh? Your iPhone can't view this 3d content?

Is it possible to have notifications pop up on the lock screen? I'm thinking specifically of text messages here, as the phone makes a sound but doesn't really give any visual indication apart from a tiny LED blinking away.
Can it be done on the standard UI or do I need to install something else? Sorry for the noobish question, this is my second day using an Android phone
I think you mean like the iPhone does? Because I was just looking into that, but haven't found if a launcher or SMS app. Any help greatly appreciated.
Pretty much like the iPhone does yeah. That's the one drawback I've found so far moving over from iOS
Widgetzoid.....
Ive been using Handcent SMS and it has a feature similar to what you are asking for. Under the applications menu go to Notification Settings, Popup Settings and uncheck Privacy Mode. It works on the Motorola Droid and HTC Sensation.
Check out GO SMS Pro. It's a free messaging app that is skinnable with a theme that looks almost exactly like the iPhone. It also has popup notifications when you have a text, and can even turn your screen on when receiving messages.
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.
