DROID X2 on rooted gb text issues. recieve same texts twice or more!!

i get every text at least twice! any ideas on what is going on? on rooted gb from p3droid. anybody else experiencing problems? thanks
I've had similar problems with my X2 on Froyo but only when communicating with my friends on AT&T (they both had iPhones).
It's not unique to the rooted GB. It is a bug that, for whatever reason carried over from Froyo.
They said the bug was patched in gingerbread. Are you sure you're not taking about getting the same text in 2 different apps? Meaning in stock texting app and a 3rd party app. If so then you need to disable notification in the stock texting app.

I have not had 1 duplicated message since i went to GB (Now on rooted GB).. So check your settings, make sure you disabled the stock text app if your using an SMS program.

i use handcent sms and already disable notifications for stock app but i still recieve the text twice in handcent!
I noticed that when I downloaded ES Task Manager, I got tons of duplicate SMS. When I deleted it, no more duplicates. Not sure if that helps, but it works for me!

Handcent app

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.

Google Voice Notifications on ICS Leak

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?

137 views and no one is using GV on the ICS leak.

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.

[Q] Can I disable screen on when I receive an sms?

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?

Bump
interested in that too
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.

Stock text messaging question.

Is it possible to hide the contents of a text message in the notification bar. In other words still notify me of the text, but not the actual text message? Yes i know 3 rd party sms apps can do this, but is it possible on the stock app?

Unfortunately not. There were not settings for this in either GB or ICS that I am aware of. Mildly frustrating not to have the option.Your only choice would be 3rd party messaging (which I personally hate ) or disabling notifications completely... Although, perhaps you could look for an alternative SMS notification app? I'm fairly certain you could find a good one. Although, that isn't stock either, but certainly better than a new texting app.

Thanks for the help. I don't like 3rd party sms apps either so I guess i'll just have to deal with it.

GO SMS has the feature, but that app is now just plainly sucks. Too many advertisement, too many updates and no good free themes
My stock app only shows the notification after the txt comes in, yes it scrolls thru the msg as it arrives, but if the phone is off i can't see anything. Stock .215 XT912

Is there any reason why you dont want to use a 3rd party app? I use handcent and personally have no use for the stock messaging app. of course its a matter of personal opinion. I like the fact with handcent I can get the message to pop up and I can reply without having to unlock the screen. also I can disable notifications. :good:
