[Q] Not receiving SMS notifications from a single person - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
For some reason on my Nexus Galaxy I get SMS notifications just fine for everyone, except my wife.
I have done the following things that I have seen in other threads but none of them seem to have worked
1. Checked to ensure notifications were on
2. Installed handcent and made it my default SMS client (got notification of SMS from my wife)
3. Uninstalled handcent and reverted to the stock SMS app (did not receive notification from my wife)
4. Installed Textra and made it my default SMS client (got notification of SMS from my wife)
5. Uninstalled Textra and reverted to the stock SMS app (did not receive notification from my wife)
6. Disable Messaging App
7. Rebooted Phone
8. Re-enable Messaging App
Guidance appreciated.
Thank you

I don't think so, is there anyway to determine if I did?

[Q] SMS notification problem (without root)

I would like to share my problem with you, I own a P-500 I bought last week and much prefer to use go sms pro instead of the stock rom application, because it's just ugly. The reason that I don't want to root it is for the guaranty I don't want to lose.
The problem is that even I read my sms with Go sms pro, the notification of unread messages still appears on the lock screen. Does someone have any solution? I tried with many of launchers, the results is the same.
1st of all, rooting does not void your guaranty, only if they find out that the phone was rooted. If you root, Install original lg fw through LG update tool when you want to send your phone to guaranty & you should be fine.
I wrote already a post about notifications. You have to disable notifications in default messaging app before you install a 3rd party msg app. I have not tried it with go sms, I had the same problem with it. But that was when I disabled notifications in default msg app afteri installed go sms. Now i'm using handcent sms, disabled notifications in default msg app before i installed handcent sms. Everything is fine & nothing's duplicated. I hope this helps.
first of all thanks for the reply, I tried to make like you said but it didn't change at all notifications on lock screen continue to appear... do you know if root can make something for that?

Did you uninstall go sms before turning off norifications in default sms app? If not, try that. Uninstall Go sms, reactivate notifications in default sms app.. do a reboot, deactivate notifications in default sms app & install go sms again. Do a reboot. If that does not help, try the same with Handcent sms. I like it a lot better than go sms btw hm rooting shouldnt change anything, rooting just gives you full access to the phone, thats all.

For many people, android 2.3 solves the problem with duplicate notifications on the lockscreen. But that does not solve the problem with duplicate notifications in the notification bar.. atleast not for me, I have tried android 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 & 2.3.3, custom & original roms. Now i'm on 2.2 Void.echo rom & have no problems with notifications.
I have the same problem. Of course notifications on lock screen under big clock isn't same that notifications on status bar. I use 2.2 root stock rom. My solve this problem - uninstall stock sms app - go sms are fully functional without stock app, even mms - but notifications about sms on lock screen disappear.
Handcent sms don't have this issue.
I wrote to go sms devs, but no respond.
Yeah I uninstalled and do all the stuff... before trying with Handcent, and it works but just with Handcent and no Go sms pro. That surely means that the problem comes from go sms, so for the moment I'll use Handcent waiting for the dev find a real way to solve the problem.
Thank to you two!

[Q] Which app allow sending/receiving emoji/emoticons (text message) w/iPhone users?

I'm coming from an iPhone 4 & one of the features I loved about it is the emoji/emoticons (smiley faces in text messages) I can send & receive with other iPhone/iPod/iPad users. Are there any apps I can send/receive emoji/emoticons with iPhone users (in otherwords, cross-platform)? I've read Handcent should be able to do this but won't be able to verify until my GNote arrives later today & activate it. Also, whatever new MMS messaging app(s) I download, I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one? Thanks & looking forward to jumping ship!
GO SMS and then download the emjoi plugin and go sms is better the handcent. Handcent has a problem with mms at times cool little app but go sms is fast and easy to use.
That was helpful!

Yeah, I just read about Go SMS while using the search feature but didn't know if it could do emoji's. Thanks for the info & comparison, I'll download that! I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one?
The stock messaging app is called "Messaging". I believe that GO SMS (which I also really like and use) actually gives the option to turn off the stock messaging notifications when you first download and open it (at least I remember that for some reason).

[Q] Smart Alert on custom notifications?

Hi guys,
Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?
Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.
Thanks xda, keep up the great work.

Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some of the talented devs here can get that to work with handcent in the future.

I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON
Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works

I have been using this method, too. I wonder if Tasker could mimic the effects of Smart Alert?

Message

I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...

Need SMS App for sending long Messages as one message, not in parts

Hello!
I've installed CM11 on my girlfriends S4 Mini. So far everything's fine, but she's really angry because of a SMS problem. On the original firmware it was possible to send long messages as one "message bulb". Directly from the SMS app as well as over airdroid. Now with CM11 messages are splitted in 160 parts. No change with "SMS Messageing AOSP", "hangouts" or Airdroid. The "SMS Messaging AOSP" app is capable of showing long messages as one message, but viewed in airdroid (wich she uses frequently for having better overview, making backups etc..) they are still splitted up. I saw other messages she wrote on original firmware and they are very long. I think she was able to write up to 3 or 4 sms in one message, wich then of course cost accordingly. But it was possible and normal. I know that at some point SMS got transformed in MMS, wich is more expensive, but she's willing to pay more for the better overview in the history.
Is there any chance to achieve that with CM11?
Thanks
in sms app if u find it >> Click Menu > Settings > SMS Split .. and disable it
NOTE :
using cdma network will force the sms to be split according to talks here

What I did
Hi, I had that problem with my I9190, so I rooted the phone, also install the Xposed apk (you must to activate the framework before continue) and finally I use the allow long mms apk for Xposed, then I restarted the phone and now I can send up to 12 mms in one message.
I hope it can help you.
