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.

Not sure what's going on but lately, for some reason, whenever my wife and I get text messages, the notification only rings for half a second instead of the full notification going off. It's really easy to miss. Anyone else have this problem?

In messages hit menu and go to settings. Scroll down and uncheck the option to delete messages after a certain amount have been received. Message tone will now play in full.
We shouldn't have to uncheck that option to get full message tones. Kind of stupid. Is there any other way around it?
I use chomp sms for messaging and it lights my screen up every time I receive a message even though the "wake device" option is off... HOWEVER I use the pop up quick reply set to lockscreen only which I absolutely love but I'm thinking that might be the issue
Is there a way to disable just the screen on part without disabling the quick reply?
Thanks in advance for any comments
My apologies in advance for a vague thread title, but I wasn't sure exactly how to word what the issue I'm posting about is. And I didn't see a forum specifically for the Droid Mini, hence why I'm posting this here, nor did I find any similar threads to what I'm asking about.
So here's the issue. As the thread title states, I have a Droid Mini running stock 4.4 KitKat, no root and the bootloader's locked. I've done no modifications. I've only had the phone for about 2-3 months tops. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but here lately, I've had a couple issues, one being in any app I'm in or even if I just leave my phone unlocked at the home screen, there are frequent times when the close animation happens and the screen goes black as if you pressed the recent apps button or opened a link or notification but nothing else opens, and then snaps right back to whatever app was open or the home screen. In example, I could be typing a text message to someone, then suddenly, the close animation happens and the screen goes black, then suddenly snaps back to the text I'm sending. And I know it's nothing I'm doing, because it's happened with me simply watching a YouTube video both in browser and the YouTube app with my hands off the phone and the close and snap back happened, which gets very annoying because it pauses the video I'm watching or messes up my typing in a text.
If I could get a video demonstration of it to help make my point, I would, but it just happens randomly for a split second.
The second issue is, there are times when I get a notification in the notification bar but when I swipe it down and press the notification, the notification bar goes away but whatever app the notification is from doesn't open (i.e. I receive a text and it notifies me in the notification bar, so I swipe the notification bar down and press the notification, but the notification bar goes away and the text doesn't open).
I really don't feel like doing a factory reset so any help would be much appreciated.

Try clearing the cache of the app(s) or clear data. Note: clearing data will rest all settings to default and saved data in that app. Hopefully this helps! A simple reboot makes all the difference as well!
