Hi,
I've had my SGS3 for a few weeks now and I've noticed one issue that keeps happening. When I receive a new SMS I either don't get a notification OR it show up late. If I open the messaging app, I'll often find that there are new messages in there but I won't have had a notification either on the top bar, on the homescreen icon/widget or on the lockscreen.
Is this common and are there any known fixes? I've compared my messaging settings to those of a colleague at work who also has an SGS3 and they're exactly the same.
For now I've switched the Handcent SMS which covers most of the problem but it means I still don't get a notification on the lockscreen when I receive a new message.
My handset is a UK model, software build number IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8
Thanks,
DC

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.

I love 2.1 compared to 1.6 but two quirks I have that are bothering me are:
1. The headphones sound really distorted. When I watch videos I can hear the background noise but noone talking and lots of distortion. I tried the stock headphones along with 2 other pair that do not have mic's.
2. When I get a sms I get 2 notification sounds and 2 messages in my status bar. So I went into the options of the standard messaging program and turned notifications off. This would be fine but the notification will stay there until I clear it because its not the notification for the standard message app. I searched high and low and cannot find out what is sending this 2nd message.
Note: I don't have any third party messaging apps on the phone. The two icons that pop up is a new smaller icon for the message app in 2.1 which disappears when I turn notifications off. The icon that will not disappear and which I can't disable is the old icon from 1.6's standard message app.
Does anyone have any similar problems or have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi
Having some problems when receiving sms messages, I don't get a notification icon. Im currently using Handcent but if i use Go SMS i get the same problem. I've gone to the stock message settings and unticked and re-ticked the 'receive notifications icon' but still no joy.
The strange thing is now and again the icon will decide to pop when I'm actually in the message.
Spec,
HTC Desire HD
Android version 2.3.3
Sense 3.0
Software No 1.24.401.1

This has happened to me in the past and i had to format to sort it out.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
no one?
Hello,
I'm using Android 5.1.1 (unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1) on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
When I receive a text message, I get a notification (ringtone + vibration + icon in notification bar + LED flashing…) except for ONE contact, for which I don't get ANY notification. I need to manually open the SMS app to see their messages.
If I get another SMS from another contact before checking, the notification area will display both messages though.
I actually behaves as if I had filtered out notification for that contact only, but :
1- I don't remember how I could do that
2- I checked every notification option I could think of, to no avail…
As a last resort, I'm asking you guys here… How can I reactivate notifications for that contact ?
I found the solution, so I'll answer to myself : resetting the SMS app to default parameters solved the problem, as it seemed to be circumvented to that app (I did not lose my messages).
I still don't know how I ended up in that situation though…
