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
I just installed GSB 1.5 and I'm looking for a way to either get a SMS popup or preview on the lockscreen (like in Sense) so I can see what the message is without having to unlock the screen.
I've tried Handcent, SMS Popup, and Go SMS, and set it to enable popup over the lockscreen but none of them work! They only popup after I unlock.
Am I missing something? Does it have to do with the CM7 lockscreen or rotary unlock style?
Is there any solution other than using Widgetlocker?
Thanks!
EDIT: ok - I got it to work with SMS Popup but only when I set it to turn the screen on when a text comes. When I disable that, it requires me to unlock the screen first to see the popup. Is there any way to see the popup before unlocking but without the screen going on?
Handsent SMS works over the lockscreen for me.

What lock screen are you using? I'm using rotary style. I am trying to have sms popup over lockscreen while still locked, but can't seem to get it to work. I also don't want the screen to come on until I turn it on.
i have sms popup, the rotary lockscreen, and gsb 1.7. the popup works fine. there is an option to leave the screen off when popup received. not sure how well that feature works. the "mark read on close" option does not seem to work though.

with sms popup, additional settings->screen on for popup. if checked, your screen will turn on, if left unchecked it should not turn on screen. let me check to see if it works.
edit: so sms popup will turn the screen on and show up over the lock screen if that option is checked. if the option is not checked, it will not turn on the screen, but you have to unlock to see the popup. strange.
I see that, but I thought I had work once but now I'm not sure d/t I have tried multiple scenarios using Handcent, smspopup, chomp and Go sms.
With Handcent the screen comes on, then the popup, but it is only there for about 5-10 seconds before shutting the lockscreen off like normal. Then when you wake it back up you have to unlock.

Yes I know that's how it works, I'm just wondering why there is an option in Handcent that allows for sms to show when locked, I want it to show without screen coming on. I would like it in this order, 1.msg arrives 2.vibrate/alert 3.press end button 4.read msg 5.unlock to reply.
I have handcent installed and every time i get a text message i get two notifications one from handcent and another from messages. I dont know why I get one from messaged when I disable notification from my stock text message app can anyone help? here what it looks like
are you sure you unchecked the correct box for notifications on the default messaging app? I'm using handcent without a problem.

Yeah, ditto here - had the double notifications, disabled the one in OEM message app, now only one.
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.

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'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.
