i have a samsung vibrant
ics passion v11
stock messaging app and an app locker.
heres the issue
my messaging app is hidden with the app locker,
but when i get notified in the top bar and pull down menu, it still has the name and beginning of the msg as it always does, which kinda defeats the purpose of locking the app.
i would like to still get notification sounds without a visual notification in the top bar/pull down
any way to do this?
i know how to remove the notification all together but i still want a tone to let me know i got a text just don't want someone to pick up my phone and be able to read who its from and half the message

I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent 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.

Ok so im new to andriod after coming from a lg arena(km900) so if i ask anything a bit noobie cut me some slack
1) Iv seen on like other phones you get a number 1 or 2 or however many on the icon of the app when you got a notification, at the moment my notifications are all coming to that drop down status bar and none on the icon of the app itself. Is it possible to get that icon?
2) Sometimes i get a facebook notification about a new message or other things in the drop down menu and i click it but it doesnt go to that notification and i have to open facebook manually and look for it. Am i doing something wrong here?
like it says "you have got a new facebook message" i click it but it just takes me to the home screen and doesnt take me into facebook
Anyone else notice that if the messaging app is open to a conversation, and the phone goes into lockmode, or you lock it and a new message comes in, it doesn't make a peep, or flash the LED?
Am I missing a setting?
Don't think it's a setting.
I know when you have the messaging app open no notifications occur if you are in the same conversation. I think if you are in a different conversation you do get notified via task bar and vibrate/sound. I guess by design since you are there. So it seems that even with the screen off it knows where you are and won't notify.
I never noticed this since I never got a text with the app open and screen off.
Which was the exact reason I use go sms. I missed too many important texts that required immediate answers.

I swear CM7 had this option but maybe I'm wrong, anyhow all I want to do is stop the text from scrolling through my notification bar. I just want it to say New message and who its from not display the whole thing line by line. Is there a way to do this? I know apps like chomp and handcent can but I prefer stock when possible. Plus handcent when you enable that option won't even tell you who its from just says new message. Any help would be great! I just hate when i get a long message and it goes line by line and i can't stop it without dragging down the bar. So annoying. Thank you!
