Hey guys, quick question. When I turn off notifications in the stock text messaging, I don't get audio notifications in Handcent app, only visual notifications. Is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the notifications only in Handcent?

Have u frozen any apps and is it only handcent
Haven't asked the developers. Thought I would post in case anyone else was having the issue. No, I haven't frozen anything and I'm not sure what you mean by "only handcent".

In HandCent, under "settings," "notification settings," "notification sound," make sure you don't have it set to silent. Use the "test notification" button to make sure it's working, and your phone volume is up.
Also, forget which setting, but enabling "group threading" gathers group message replies into a single thread (like an iPhones group messaging)- an added bonus i came across that's pretty nice.

Think I found it. Under Handcent settings/ application settings, there is an option to set it as the default engine and disable the stock messaging. Sounds like that was what I was looking for. We'll see.

I literally just set this up on mine. Turn off notifications in the stock app...and by default handcent will notify you both visually (through quick reply) and audibly. If in handcent your notifications are activated properly (which is pretty easy to figure out) make sure your phone isn't just on silent under settings. Sounds silly but it happens to the best of us. I never had to modify the setting you mentioned in your last post.

Thanks.I'm pretty sure I had all that correct before and I wasn't getting the audible alerts. If the way I have it now doesn't work, I'll go back and try all that again.

I use Google Voice for free text messaging and I'm having a very annoying problem with it since I've updated to the ICS leak (6.14.75). I receive an alert when messages come through and the alert also pops up in the notification bar. However, it only stays for a few seconds. If I happen to catch a text message in my notification bar and then close that bar and immediately reopen it (without clearing the notification) it's immediately gone. I sometimes have 4 or 5 messages that all display as new in GV but don't stay (or ever appear) in the notification bar.
I've confirmed that all notifications are selected in the app and I don't have this issue with any other apps. I have the newest GV (4.0 compatible) installed and I have my VM integrated with my stock dialer but keep my texts set to "Via Google Voice App" as I don't have unlimited texting and messages often send from the wrong number if I set it to "Via the Messaging App".
I've sbf'ed back to GB and upgraded back to ICS to see if that fixed the issue and I can confirm it didn't. There has to be some setting somewhere that I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Anyone on ICS NOT having this issue with GV? If so, which leak are you on?

I use ics first leak. I admit Google voice notification sucks. Sometimes it does not even notify me when I have a text message. I am dealing with it, with the hopes of the fix on upcoming updates.

Ok, so I'm not the only one. I didn't have the issue on my G'Nex so I'm led to believe that it's something in the leak (also on the first one). I'm interested to see if anyone on a newer leak is having our issue.

VM for me is also fine. I love being able to play them through my dialer. Very nice upgrade.

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

I just factory reset my Maxx with the hope that the battery life would go back to the long life it had prior to the ICS update. I'm using a 3rd party camera apk and I'd like to set it as my default lock screen camera app. I did this on Saturday but I have forgotten how. Thanks

If you have root just change apk to bak, also I had to set my handcent to default for mms and sms

The easiest way to change Lock Screen defaults,...
Get the free app "Default App Manager".
I personally hate the stock camera on the Razr Maxx because it sucks, so I changed the Default to Camera360 (btw, if you haven't tried this app your missing out, nice clean photos everytime, with more detail).
Changing the Default app, changes the lock screen Default as well.

I tried this approach and cant seem to get the 3rd party cam app to sit on the lock screen. The stock app is still on the lock screen. I have made my 3rd party app my default cam app.

Kinda frustrating I've been hoping for a solution to this since the OTA and i don't want to root it.

I'm 100% stock, I don't want to root either. Haven't rooted a phone since my Droid Incredible.
If possible I want to stay completely stock. Something on a phone has to bother me pretty bad for me to root.

The subject says is all. I can't find a setting within the app to change the notification sound. Regardless of the system's default notification sound, the app always plays the "hint" sound when I receive an email. It's a very subtle tone and I'd like to change it to something I can actually hear.
I've tried clearing defaults, the cache, and deleting the Exchange account the setting it up again, but no luck. Either something is wrong with my phone or this is just how this phone works. (Which, if it's the latter, is really stupid.)

I already did that, which is why this is so odd. The notification sound does not change regardless of the sound selected.

Yeah, I figured it out now. Thanks, all. I didn't realize that the setting was buried in the Personalize menu. I ran stock on my OG DInc for the longest time and am shamefully unfamiliar with certain parts of Sense. Plus, you could customize the notification sound from the Email app on older versions of Sense.

Same here (from OG Dinc, but ran SkyRaider). It took me forever to find that the first time on this phone.

Searched the q&a thread going a few similar posts but nothing exactly like this.
Had anyone found a way with the stock text notifications to display the contacts name who is texting you rather than receive a message saying “new message" every time?
There has to be a fix for this...
Thanks in advance

I believe going into "messaging" then the menu button>settings>notification settings group and turn on the "preview messages" option, should do what you wanted

You can also use the multi page lock screens that are part of 4.2 and add a communications widget or stock messaging

Right. But that isn't what the OP wants. Although I'm sure someone much smarter than me who develops these ROMs will add the requested feature as on option.
