Is there a way to stop the sms pop on lockscreen without changing sms app? I actually like the stock sms app minus the popup
Home screen > menu > settings > privacy
Uncheck the first box.

I've heard that updating prl helps, also I think there is a fix / workaround / app in the market called sms fixer or something along those lines. As I haven't had this issue, I can't really say. Sorry.

I know I know google it.. Well I have and no one has the same thing.. That I can find anyways (There is an ocean of posts) every time i get a text message i get two notifications from messages. I have searched and I don't have any secoundary text apps and its not my rom cause my friend has the rom to and doesn't have the same problem. Below is a screenshot hope this helps and thanks for your time
Also when i click on the NEW MESSAGE(S) nothing happens it just closes the notification bar
Looks like you are using handcent. Turn off incoming notifications in your stock messaging app.
Blundered from my Dunderbolt
As stated above "I don't have any secoundary text apps"
Please read my whole post
You definitely have some other app that is notifying you.

Are you sure it's not the text app and some other HTC sense app?

I am using Virus Senseless so I doubt its htc sense.. But like I mentioned my friend has the same setup as me but doesn't get two notifications.
I had this same problem when I was using Thunderbolt Kang and I did a full wipe so I am not sure.
The icon looks like the handcent notification. I know you said you don't have another sms app installed, but that's what mine looks like.

Try turning off the default SMS app and see if you only get a single notification.
Also, try clearing the defaults on the built-in SMS app, then try texting someone through Contacts app. It should give you a list of SMS apps to text with. You would be able to see the other SMS app there.
That looks like a general inbox notification for an app that groups things like gmail, email, sms & mms.

I did this just now and no luck the only thing I had pop up under contacts was google voice so I uninstalled it and had no luck with this either. Still got 2 notifications..
The only other thing I have that affects my systems is ringopro but I uninstalled that too and had the same problem.
not sure why you haven't thought of this, but why not just click the notifications from the bar and see exactly which two apps they direct you to. turn notifications off in the one you don't use. problem solved?

"when i click on the NEW MESSAGE(S) nothing happens it just closes the notification bar"
I can only open the text from the one with a smiley face in it
I found the problem at a long and tedious process of wiping and restore each app at a time
Come to find out Beautiful Widgets 2 was causing it... Well thank God I was able to find it and thank you guys for still pointing me in the direction of it being an app... Who could have guessed
I had a problem similar to that. This is what I did.... I went into setting for my sms app. Turned off all the notifications than restarted my phone and than after booted up go back into settings and turn them back on. If that doses work back up all your apps and such than restore your phone.

That's strange...
It is still in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms&hl=en
But it says it is incompatible with the Evo 4G and 3D. IDK about other phones. Maybe this was a mistake on their part?
Hopefully its some sort of maintenance or maybe some other big application purchased them. there should be word on it at some point
I know version 4.0 was supposed to come out soon.
Maybe they're renaming the app?
Just found this out too. Just flashed a new ROM and it wasn't listed. All the font/language packs are there, just not the app. Got an SGS2. I see it's in a couple other markets, but not the Android Market. Going to give Go SMS a whirl. Saw a few threads asking which is better and overwhelming response was Go SMS.
I noticed this earlier this evening... Hows Go SMS workin out for ya?
ive been using go sms for about a month and like it better than handcent, seems faster to me.
Think Ill give it a go and see how i like it...
You can always grab it from the dev's website.

Ive used Go SMS since 3vo came out and i love it... when it was unlocked, i have been flashing every week and love how GOSMS has an SMS backup feature
My biggest problem is when Im in the Gallery and want to attach a picture to a text, when I hit share, it rarely allows me to go to the stock messaging app. I vaguely remember that I could do that every time with Handcent... Does Go SMS show up when you click share on a picture?

GOsms is a lot better, I used to use handcent until I was shown GOsms, it's a lot better in my opinion.
I prefer Handcent because of the privacy features. I haven't found another app that offers the breadth of their privacy services.
Maybe it was removed due to some of the voicemail issues they were having. A friend of mine used to always complain that people would bring their phones in complaining about visual voicemail and it was always due to the Handcent app.
This is the email I got back from them this morning
"sorry,this is a temp issue ,we are contacting google ,it may fix in 3 days,now ,you can download from www.handcent.com temp,hope we can get response from google ASAP"

I've been using GO SMS & Launcher for over 6months. 1st on my EVO now on 3D. I love it.
Eh, I tried both, I still love hand cent much more.
I have handcent
I couldn't find Handcent on the market either so I used a backup I had on my SD card with Titanium Backup and it works perfectly...
Has anyone else noticed that on the stock messaging app, the timestamp on messages is wrong? I just realized what it is showing, it is showing the date/time of the last MMS message, not the last message of any type. If I change the view (at the bottom) from "All Messages" to "SMS/MMS", it updates and shows the correct timestamp, but if I go back to "All Messages" (which it defaults to every time i leave and re-enter the app) it shows the wrong timestamp again.
Is this something everyone with the DNA is experiencing or just me? Is there a fix? If not is there some way to make HTC aware of this (or is this an android problem)?
Thanks!
this has plagues sense phones since they originated. there are a few fixes I think but ive grown so used to it I dont pay it any attention anymore
yeah, hit the "SMS/MMS" tab and its the correct time. All Messages it where the problem lies.

Correct, I was aware of that (I mentioned it in my first post), but thank you anyways for your help. I was hoping there was a way to make all messages correct also (or to default the messages app to start up on sms/mms tab).
Not a huge deal, but an annoyance that doesn't make any sense. Is there any way to make sure HTC is aware of this issue? Maybe get it fixed in a future update?

Its not that the text messages have the wrong time embedded in them. It'd that the messaging app is displaying the time of the most recent mms, not message on general, in the thread view.

AT&T messaging app suddenly appeared today and took over my phone. I used Default App Manager to change back to the default texting app but the AT&T app still catches the incoming alerts.
First off...what in the world.....? And second, how do I rid my phone of it/never see it again?
Thanks
I called them and got them to disable it. Apparently they've been getting pissed off calls about this all day. Way to FAIL AT&T...

That's odd, I have an HTC One and for a while I used the stock ROM that came from AT&T and never had that issue. This is why I don't like carrier bloatware lol.
Mine was even worse, all of the sudden I had 8, yes, eight icons on my home screen. I thought for sure something had gone terribly wrong, ATT couldn't screw up that bad.
I'm going to make a quick list of useful apps that AT&T provides:
1.

The same thing just happened to my phone over the weekend. You can go into the settings and disable it but the better way is to call att customer care. They know of the problem and they have to remove it from the billing on you phone. After they do that, go to settings and press uninstall. It will uninstall all the updates to the app and then you will get a message stating that all messages will be handled by their default apps again.
I think it was an update to AT&T's "Visual Voicemail" app which was a really handy little program that I liked to use, but now with all the extra features its a pain in the butt!

There is a REALLY cool feature I'd like to be able to utilize where the G4 pulls up your most recent contacts when you start to share something.
*see attached image* (names and numbers have been edited out for privacy reasons)
Only problem is, that even though my default messaging app is Next SMS if I select one of these recent contacts at the top. It still opens up "messaging" to send the message. Which actually is very limiting because it doesn't like not being default with MMS's.
Is there an easy way to change that behavior?
Thanks,
Gilligan
The app has to be made To use that function. It is part of stock Android. All my messaging apps use it. I can't say about handcent as I stopped using them a few years ago when the company when down hill and the app went to garbage.

What do you recommend and why it over Handcent? I'm not married to Handcent, but it does ok by my books. I don't really venture out and try other apps either.

Handcent is known for not delivering messages. Along with other huge issues. I use YAATA myself or textra. Both work wonderfully. I choice YAATA over textra so I can hide that God awful material design. Just avoid Go sms at all costs.

Yeah unless you ran a logcat or people contacted you every time you didn't reply then you really wouldn't know. I used to use handcent until people started getting mad I wasn't replying. Then I looked into it and saw it was failing. It was a great app until it was sold to a China based company.
So, how do you turn off the row for messaging if you have a different app (YAATA) doing the messaging for you now?

It should auto replace the normal messaging.
As you can see from my SS
Hmmm.. mine is acting differently. I has two rows. One replaced, one didn't.
As you can see here, top row is YAATA, bottom is still "Messaging".
The more you use it the less they will be there. If you have root you could always freeze it or disable it. It could also be the device. I know some apps are making it annoying to replace the stock apps. Like Samsung devices.
