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.

So when I get a new SMS I get multiple notifications. On the status bar, I get the little yellow envelope thing AND some kind of white envelope thing and that makes my phone beep twice. This has happened since I OTA'd to JI6.
I get two vibrates and two ding sounds ._.
Any help appreciated.

You have downloaded some kind of texting app (Handcent/Chompsms/SMS popup?) from the market. Just disable notification from one of them.
I haven't downloaded any of those In my settings, there's an option for notification, but I can turn the notification sound to "silent" but it still double vibrates + shows an extra icon at the top. In the SMS app, there's ALSO another notification setting. I want to use the SMS' app's notification because its not accurate.
Did you download a messaging widget?
I still haven't solved the problem, and no I didn't download a messaging widget =[
Have You tried disabling the notifications in the stock messaging app? what happens?
My wifes phone is doing this also. Hancent and stock set to silent, but still getting a ring and a envelope icon that takes you to the stock message app. Fail. We have the same apps, but mine is fine

Thank you!!!! I had the same problem and it was driving me mad for months!!! I thought it was CM6 doing it this whole time because I just couldn't figure out what was doing it after I disabled notifications in every sms app.....stupid widgets lmao
i have a samsung vibrant
ics passion v11
stock messaging app and an app locker.
heres the issue
my messaging app is hidden with the app locker,
but when i get notified in the top bar and pull down menu, it still has the name and beginning of the msg as it always does, which kinda defeats the purpose of locking the app.
i would like to still get notification sounds without a visual notification in the top bar/pull down
any way to do this?
i know how to remove the notification all together but i still want a tone to let me know i got a text just don't want someone to pick up my phone and be able to read who its from and half the message
Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
no one?
This started maybe a month ago and hasn't really bothered me but was wondering if there was a solution. I'm on T-Mobile in the US and whenever I get a notification it always States there's one more than I actually get on the always on display. If I have one it says 2 and if I have 2 it states 3. The badge counter and notification bar indicate it correctly. Using Nova launcher but assume that shouldn't make a difference.
