Hey guys!
I didn't know where to put this else than here, so if this isn't the right category please move mods.
So I use Handcent SMS (free edition) because the stock SMS app doesn't have security features like pattern lock for the inbox etc.
But here also is the problem in the benefit of this.
You can easily bypass the security feature of Handcent SMS, at least I can on my SGS2 with CF-Root Kernel.
Is this reproducable on other phones aswell?
Heres the trick:
Install Handcent and set up pattern lock (I think it will also work on numeric lock).
Close the app, now if you use the widget or the program icon on the homescreen you will land on the lockscreen.. ok, this works.
Enter your code and click back till Handcent is closed again.
Press and hold home button to see recent used apps, there you will see handcent.. click it,.. and... wtf? NO LOCKSCREEN?
I mailed the developers about this issue, but still no answer whats-o-ever..
Is there any possibility to fix this bug?
Or does this bug only occur on my phone?
I'm about to change to GO SMS because there this issue doesn't seem to appear.

As the title says.
Scenario: A text message comes in, I pull down the menu and hit the name of the sender, and it takes me into the default messaging app to read my text. But as well as doing this, it automatically opens my keyboard ready to type a reply.
Have I missed something here??? I'm using Perfect Keyboard Pro, and wish to continue to do so.
It only does this on a new message, if I open a read message the keyboard wont open unless i press the reply button.
I hope its just a wee setting i've stoopidly missed, but any help is appreciated
AFAIK, this is the standard behaviour. When you receive a new sms, and go to read it, the keyboard pops out (to type the reply). When you go to see received sms, the keyboard pops out only if you tap on the text box at the bottom.
This for any keyboard you'd use.
Damn... wish there was a way to turn that off. .. och well...

i dont have this behaviour using handcent
yeah i think it must me stock messaging specific....
Hi is anyone else having this issue with RR 2.6
1) When you are in the Messaging app and you have a message open for example, if you receive a new SMS whilst the messaging app is open, you dont hear a SMS notification?
2) Also holding down the power button to bring up the power menu, i select silent mode, yet i still hear some sounds like calendar notifications etc. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
Ah hang on ive figured out number 2. Still have the no notification of new SMS prob though.
3) ive noticed that when charging, when it gets to 100% it doesnt say fully charged. Just keeps on charging. Anyone else had this?
Ok update:
2.6.1 seems to have resolved the motification sound when messaging app is open.
Another issue is why is the messaging apps box where you type the text only only line and there is no enter key?
I take it no one has come across the SMS notification thing then? It just doesnt make a sound when you have the messaging app open???

Happened to mine too when I was with RR v2.6 at least once a day. But now it's all gone after updating to RR v2.6.1.
Dude instead of posting and posting why don't you just edit your comment? Did you see the xda noob video?

When I get a new text message, the screen shows the message screen instead of the standard clock lock screen (or dashclock). I'd rather it not do this at all, but it does. When I touch the message prompt, it dims and shows a blank box underneath the message prompt. Anyone else see this? Is this how it's supposed to work?
I've been wondering the same thing. Anyone?

When you touch the message and the box underneath it appears, you swipe on the box to unlock straight to that message

Thanks. That's what I thought. It just seems weird because sometimes it acts the way you describe to use it, and other times it unlocks straight to the message when I touch the message icon.
If you pull down on the message it opens up the lock screen widget edit mode. If you click on the message in this mode it goes directly to it. If you simply press it while not in edit mode you have to do the unlock swipe in the separate box. I don't really care for this notification I would much rather have dashclock display my message but haven't seen any way to disable or mod the sms notification.

Dude! Thank you!! That has been bugging the crap out of me since I got the phone.
if you have messages from lets say 2 people is there a way to pick one of those from the lock screen to answer first?
I made a Tasker profile that will basically make the 2nd screen flash, "New Text Message" every 6 seconds until you turn the screen on. The idea for this is that you can now have something noticeable from a distance to alert you that you have a new message.
Let me know if it helps anyone.
*This won't work with 3rd party messaging apps like Tango or Whatsapp.*
How to use:
Download Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Download the zip and extract it to your internal SD/Tasker/profiles
Open Tasker.
Make sure Profiles tab is active, and tap the tab again. Choose Import. Choose Flash_New_Text.

Awesome, will this work with GoSms, and could you make one for missed calls?

Thank you for this.
Maybe we can think a few ways he can make different ones for different notifications.
For example: if we get a text, we see the text message popup. If we get an email, the second screen cycles through each second window shortcut.

Tasker can do that without root? Great

I believe this simply adds a notification and then deletes it after 3 seconds. New notifications appear in the second screen.
downloaded tasker but it did not create a tasker folder in the internal storage
Thanks for the app.
Not sure if it is working correctly...sort of new to this.
Confirmed that the Flash New Text is switched on in Profile
Thunderbolt icon displaying in taskbar
Received text...nothing.
Can you help me...step by step will be greatly appreciated.

Open Tasker and play with it a little but don't change anything. It will create a folder.

Sounds like you have it. Try rebooting your phone.
Are you using the stock messenger app?
When you receive a text with the main screen off, the second screen flashes a "new text message" notification. It flashes every 3 seconds.

I can't answer the GoSMS question, but it's unlikely to work unless GoSMS completely replaces the system's text messaging service.
I updated the original post with a missed call version.

The only notifications that Tasker will allow are for successfully sent SMS messages, new SMS (and/or MMS), and missed calls.
Technically, you can make it work with apps like Tango and Whatsapp, but you'd need Tasker plugins that will allow Tasker to recognize that you received a message. To do this, it would mean that you'd need to create a version for each and every type of messaging service (if there's an available plugin). It's a lot to do and I can't even test them all.

Sure can! There's still live its without root, but I think since Lollipop, Tasker can do so much more without root.

Your normal text message notification does still appear. This creates a separate notification that appears and disappears, causing the 2nd screen to pulse a message that says, "New Text Message." Once the main screen turns on, this pulsing notification simply ends and vanishes. If the main screen is off, and you get a NEW text, it'll start up again.

Create the folders in your internal SD directory.
So create a "Tasker" folder and inside that, a "profiles" folder.

Here's a test version for third party apps like Whatsapp, Tango, etc.
You can try this one if you use a third party text messaging service and the original profile I made doesn't work with that app.
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL WORK RIGHT, OR EVWN WORK AT ALL!
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58163c2cbb678/3rd_Party_Texts (EXTRACT ME).zip
To use this, you MUST do the following after importing the profile:
1) Expand the "3rd Party Texts" profile by tapping on "3rd Party Texts." It's expanded if you can see the On/Off toggle.
2) tap the trophy icon
3) tap the rocket ship
4) select your text messaging app
4.5) Leave the rest alone.
5) Press the back button
6) See if it works
Note: Only 1 app will work per this profile. If you use multiple 3rd party apps (Tango AND Whatsapp for example), long press the "3rd Party Texts" text, press the "A" icon in the upper right and rename the profile to something else (ex: Tango), then import the "3rd Party Texts" profile again. Repeat steps 1-6 above, but with your second app.
Repeat everything as many times as necessary.

Thanks for this. Very clever. I added an icon and then edited a second copy for missed calls.

Sites the icon flash, instead of the text "new text message"? And I think you have to take off the private message settings...

Tried this with Textra, unfortunately it is not flashing
Also tried the Missed call one and it's not flashing on that either. I'm currently streaming music and that icon is there so not sure if that's causing an issue.
When I pull the notification shade down, it says Tasker profile active none even though both of them say on in Tasker.
I have admin turned on and accessibility service turned on for Tasker as well.
EDIT
I fixed the Textra one- basically you have to turn off the "Screen on" option in Textra otherwise that triggers the screen on portion of the Text tasker item.
Still haven't figured out why the missed call one isn't working - at first I thought maybe the initiate time frame was too short so I upped it to 10 sec, but even that isn't triggering the flash.
Added both the NEW TEXT and MISSED CALL profiles to mine.
I haven't tested out the MISSED CALL yet, but it should work exactly like the NEW TEXT.
I have both set to ON.
Does this app Tasker effect the battery life since it is always on and detecting for messages?
Thanks again for your hard work in creating this...greatly appreciated.
