[Q] What is up with my SMS app? - AT&T HTC One (M7)

For about a month, my fonts in my SMS app have been truncating. These are also device wide, on any app that has text up in the upper left.
Its turning MOM into ...
Its random, sometimes it shows MOM, sometimes M.... or MO...
On some apps, I cant even select an option because all options are "..."
Any ideas what could be causing this? Running VIPER ROM.

[Q] Handcent backgrounds?

1. Whenever I choose a background on Handcent SMS it doesn't give me the option to crop it, it's all blurry and ugly! Does anybody have any idea on how to fix? I've never had this problem on any of my other phones.
2. Whenever I use Ringdroid or some other apps, it only uses half the screen and the bottom is black. Are there any settings I can change ?​

[Q] Text messages turning screen on

So its hit or miss... on stock messaging app I turned off that preview option so it doesn't show the text in the status bar or lock screen. But how do I stop the lock screen from turning on when a text comes in. Like I said I feel like its hit or miss or maybe I'm just nuts but sometimes I feel like it does and sometimes it doesn't.
If you are rooted, you can use Xposed to show that option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293956 (under applications, "Show screen on toggle"), then you can go to the messaging app and turn it off.

[Q] Separate notification sound for text message?

I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

Open messages app, hit more top right corner then settings then notification sound.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.

Problem with lockscreen notifications

This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher

Honor 9 badge app icons settings not showing

Badge app icons are not working on my phone for Facebook and Messenger app, for Gmail (probably some more apps but i can't think of them right now) and I don't have them in setting to enable this notification.
It is brand new phone, 10 days old. I have updated it right away on EMUI 5.1 / Android 7.0 / Build STF-L09C432B183 as the phone said it was the latest.
I have uninstalled apps, restarted phone and then installed them again, restarted again. Nothing
Factory reset. Nothing
Enabled everything i could find on notification settings, battery optimization, etc... Notning
I still don't have them in settings so i can enable them.
I get push notifications about mails, about messages, about likes on fb etc... but no badge notification.
I have attached screenshot.
Any help, ideas?
I have exactly the same problem. But ...
There are settings to turn this on. Hold the finger on the empty space of home screen then tap Settings in the lower right and then Badge app icons and then turn them on. However, these settings didn't fix my issue, I hope they solve yours. I have the exact same phone and firmware/software, does anybody know the solution?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. The apps that don't show an icon aren't on the list you mentioned and I've looked through all other settings in the settings app and in the apps themselves. But yesterday I got a notification that there was a new system update. And after I downloaded it I have had icon badges on Facebook Messenger. But still nothing on Snapchat or Gmail.
Working perfectly here. I'm on oreo.
