total winmo noob here...can someone recommend a solid SMS/MMS notification application for the HD2? i love the notification system on my Nexus One (screen wakes up, flashing LED, name, photo, message preview). is there anything like that for the HD2? i tried searching the web but found pages of info one sent message notifications and firmware updates directly from HTC.
Hi
Have you tried SMSchat?
http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html
I think this have a popup notification
Hans
i havent tried that. i just browsed through the site and downloaded the users manual and i dont see any mention of popup notifications. hmmm..
Hi,
You can set notifications to show a message on the home screen when you get an sms or mms - it has who sent it and the message body. Is that what you're after?
It is in settings -> messaging -> notifications.
A CAB or BSB tweaks can turn the led on for new sms & mms's.
Regards,
Steve

Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds & notifications and change to the notifications tab. Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
It displays the sender and message onscreen when it's received.
ahhh thank you! i totally missed the "all settings" tab! i never even saw it. thanks for the help!
this is because hd2 got 2 settings - i sense and i windows...thats why its so complicated and you literally got to dig around windows directory to find what you wanted

Hi there John. How can I have the same pop up notification for messages sent from my HD2? At the moment I am using the (very usefull) "Request delivery report" from the HD2 Settings, but it is a pain having to delete the generated message every time - otherwise my MyPhone would have double the number of SMS. Thanks for any ideas.
Hi Guys ,
I tried the method suggested which is Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
However , when I change event to "Message : New Message" , the "Display message on screen" option is greyed out and NOT an option for me to tick/check.
Anybody know why ? I have installed Cookie Home Tab V1.7.1 on my phone. Could this be the problem ? Appreciate your advice.
greyed new message notifications!

would u please advice if u managed to sort this out? I am facing the same issue on my touchpro2, both notification options ("Display Message on screen" and "flash light for..") are greyed!!
not sure when it actually stared, as i installed WWE latest official ROM, then CHT 1.8.5 and CHT editor as well, and after that discovered that these options are not active any more!! looked in all the related forums but with no luck!
many thaaanks
S2U2
Try S2U2
It shows preview og mail and sms - and other things ;-)
many thanks jkolner for the tip
will give it a try now.. thou honetsly was hoping i can have it as it used to be, was very fine with that.. and i hope i can also restore the flashing LED option as i started missing many SMSs without it!!
for anyone who is facing a similar problem (i.e. inactive "display message on screen" or "flash light for.."), BsB Tweaks restored them - in addition to many other very useful options of course

Hum…I'm not sure this was the answer he search.
This only disable the waking screen when recieving a SMS. But he want a popup one [like popup notification on WinMo 6.1] which isn't a real SMS to delete after being notificated.
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.
-bZj
I have been using Handcent for awhile and really like it. But yesterday switched to Go SMS Pro to check it out and because I like some of the themes.
But I noticed, unlike Handcent or ChompSMS, it does NOT have a popup window with incoming text on the Lock screen! I like to check out my text and maybe send a quick reply without unlcking my phone.
I can't find the option anywhere in Go SMS Pro, so I think it doesn't have it. I'd like to continue using it, but I think I'll have to go back to Handcent for the Lock screen text.
Does anyone know of a way to have it pop up on the lock screen? I did email the author about it.
You must have looked extremely hard.

Thank for the reply.
Yes I saw that, but that only is for popups if you are already in the phone. That doesn't enable lock screen popups.
On the lockscreen, it will light up, but only show you on your status bar on top of a new text, not an actual popup.
Do any popup windows happen at all, or just not on the lockscreen? Do you have a pattern/password lock?
I have been using widgetlocker for some time now and the popups come up fine for me. I have flashed many roms since starting to use Go SMS and never have had this problem. Im thinking either go sms is corrupted and you may need to uninstall and reinstall, or the stock lockscreen is getting in the way
I get popups over the lockscreen.
EDIT: Attached are the seetings that work for me...
Funny, pops up on my lockscreen just fine.
Sent from somewhere far far away.
I notice it doesn't really seem to work on my Sensation. Could it be because of the new lock screen (Sense 3.0)?
Well I am running a stock Atrix, and even after reinstalling I still don't get popups on the lock screen. I get them everywhere else though. Also I have all the appropriate settings checked.
A friend with an HTC Incredible has the same issue. It might be a bug in Go SMS Pro?
I uninstalled Handcent first before I installed Go SMS Pro, do you think maybe there is a residue setting in there causing this?
I would doubt it. Try clearing Go SMS data and cache and having another attempt.

Well tried that, and even uninstalled / reinstall one more time and still no go.
When I get an incoming text when the screen is off, the lock screen will light up, but the text shows on the status bar on top and doesn't have the popup/quick reply window like it does if I am already in the phone.
I guess it is a bug in Go SMS Pro for some phones.
Sounds like you might be right. That's a bummer for you. The irony is that I have disabled my popups as I don't like them

I selected the following option
notification settings > screen settings > unlock screen.
That seemed to have done the trick for the popup to show for the designated amount of time (10 sec for me), and it doesn't actually unlock the phone. Once I reply/delete or close the popup, I am prompted with slide lock and unlock pattern.
Droid Eris with GSB v3.8 CM7
Security lock settings:
Screen timeout delay: 10s
Screen turned off delay: 1s
Slide lock settings:
Slide lock separate delay enabled
Screen timeout delay: 5s
Screen turned off delay: Immediately
Maybe this will help
I tried messing around with the notification settings and checked the box that said unlock screen when receiving a message and had my friend text me. the text showed up over the lock screen so maybe that helps?
i'm using a motorola atrix.
I had the same problem with gosms. The only way I found was to check turn lock screen on, in the menu underneath the enable the pop up line and it worked. It does wake your phone though.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA
Enable unlock screen under "Notification Settings > Screen settings > Unlock Screen" and that will take care of it. Dont worry it will not actually unlock your device.
Doing this enabled popup on my locked screen. Using Samsung Galaxy S3.
Try using the unlock screen option with pop up enabled. If I helped...... Thank me please.
Go SMS pro doesnt' allow me to reply from a locked screen either on SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

I have the same problem as well. It simply doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S4 either. Even if you setup and use all the appropriate settings, as the below poster said, it still requires me to swipe and unlock my S4 first, then I see the pop up sms. But having to unlock the phone first; to then be able to reply to a text is pretty sad and useless. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a fix for this, or a properly working "quick reply" out there in the ANDROID WORLD...LOL.
I'm looking for something similar to BITESMS for iphone 5 (which worked pretty darn well for me).
Does anyone have any recent news for the quick reply issue with the S4?
Thanks.

I have the S4 and using GoSMS pro. You have to enable "Turn lockscreen off" under the Settings > Advanced > Notification Settings > under "Screen Settings" you need to make sure to check the "Unlock Screen when receiving messages" and "Turn on Screen when receiving messages" once this is done....you need to make sure you are COMPLETELY backed out of GoSMS Pro to test it. When you receive a text message the screen will be unlocked and ON. Once you respond or "X" out of it...the screen will lock again.
Hope this helps.

I have a GS4 with these settings on go sms pro:
"Unlock screen when receiving messages" checked ON
"Turn on screen when receiving messages" checked ON
When I get a text, my screen turns on, but it shows my regular lock screen with the pattern grid, and then only shows the go sms pro notification icon in the notification bar up top.
I'm looking for something that will be like the stock SMS app on the GS4, where you get a text message and it shows you on the lock screen above the pattern grid.
Yeah, I did what you guys said but when I allow unlock phone and turn on screen when I get a message it takes me directly to my go SMS app inside of the phone! Lol. I don't want that, I just want that little tiny popup window on the actual lockscreen itself. I have a note 3 Qualcomm.
Using stock HTC Messages app. Everytime I get a text message and open up the app (whether through the notification bar or the app icon on my homescreen) once I click the back button to go back to the text messages list it still shows the unread bubble. I have to tap into the text message thread again and back out for it to be marked read.
Anyone else have this problem/and or a solution to this?
yep, and it's super annoying =(
When your done reading the text/msg try hitting menu and select mark as read
Locked & Loaded
" Shooter on Deck"
Is there a way to help prevent any potential domestic issues with a random text from an ex, or other message that you might not want seen by disabling text message notifications for appearing on the unlock screen?
I don't mind the little notification in the task bar thing, but not liking the large "Hey I Love You" appearing out of the blue from a past lover while the phone is out on the counter.
thats stupid tbh you shouldnt have to hide that **** from ur current 'lover' if you actually love them, theyll understand.

Thanks for the helpful response....
Do you mean when the text message is displayed at the top in the notifications bar? Or, I know on certain versions of Sense a large window pops up in the middle of the screen showing the text. I know you can turn off the second, in security or privacy or something similar to that (If this is it, and you can't find it I'll restore my Sense ROM and find it exactly). I'm not sure about the first, other than disabling notifications completely or changing to a different messaging app.
The top one in notifications bar is fine, that can be disabled in the message settings. Its the large window with the contact name and full text message appearing...must be tied in to sense. I'll see what else I can find, but appreciate your help!
I went and found it specifically Menu > Settings > Privacy. Uncheck the first box.

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Under Privacy there is "Display Message Text" Show missed call and message text on lock screen
