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.
Now that I've upgraded to 2.1, I've noticed something weird. When the phone is on vibrate and I receive a text message it doesn't vibrate anymore, but when getting a call it vibrates. HUH?
I was gonna post this in the 2.1 after effect but I figured it would get lost in that huge thread.
Thanks.
There is a setting in the Messenger app called Notification Vibration, maybe that has to be turned on in order for it to vibrate for text messages even if the phone is set to vibrate?
Thank you JDDawn, that was it.
Where is this setting
Go to messaging press the menu key and go to settings go to notification settings then scroll down to vibrate and click always

Hey,
I have a strange problem, sometimes I get an SMS, it pops up in the notification bar, but when I enter the message app it isn't there?! I am using Go SMS Pro, but the HTC Sense message app is still installed. It mostly happens to the same persons but they're aren't blacklisted or anything..
It's really annoying, first I thought I just randomly hit the delete button when using popup screens, but that is not the case
Btw I am using the VR31 ROM
I am having issues with getting notifications on this phone. There is no LED noification light and I don't always hear the audible alert.
Is there a way to make the lock screen light up when a text is received? I have the stock messages and the AT&T messages installed, and neither seem to do this. It will sit there blank until I press the power button and see that something has come in.
I am using the AT&T messages for the visual voicemail, but again, open to suggestions.
Thanks.
my screen comes on when i get a text message. stock messaging app.
you can try SMS Popup and play with the settings in it to get what you want, like text message reminders and screen on/off

Mine never has, even before I installed AT&T messages.
Is there a setting that I missed?
Thanks.
Personally I'd recommend looking into Handcent. It's a much better SMS app imo and it definitely allows a screen pop to occur when the phone is asleep upon receiving a new message. A lot more customization as well.

i would prefer GO SMS PRO over handcent, but thats a personal preference.
@026TB4U, there are no settings within the stock messaging app that would enable/disable screen activation. it just works. when i get a text message and my screen is off, it comes on, shows me the slide to text, then after a few more seconds it shuts off
SMS Popup will allow you to do all kinds of things while still using the stock messaging app.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.
What about voicemail?Do any of these handle that? How are you getting notified?
I would really like to find out why mine is not lighting up....lol

I use google voice and love it. Free visual voicemail and they even transcribe it for you. Also +1 on handcent. Been using that for a long time now and love it.
Mine wakes on a new message and gives the audible alert, if you don't have it silenced.

Ok, that's 3 people that have confirmed that my phone is not behaving correctly.
Anybody have any ideas why?
My phone wakes on incoming sms as well.

I uninstalled AT&T Messages and problem is solved.
I do wish it would stay lit longer though...lol
Is there a way to disable the screen from turning on when a notification is received? When I go to pull the note out I'm either hitting random keys on a text or dialing something. Is there a way to stop that?

First things first..I assume you are sending a recieving text messages, so here is my question. What app do you use for texting handcent or go sms....
for example I use handcent ass my messaging app so in the settings of handcent this is how you disable the screen on when you receive a notification.
Setting>Notification settings>Notificaton Settings (again) >scroll down and a box will be there were you can turn on/off the screen when you receive a message using the pop up option.
Idk if this helped but.. if anything let me know what apps your using or the version of android your running. The more info you post the more we can help you. Thanks
