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.

When I get a text message I unlock my phone, and on the bottom where the text message icon is it'll display the # of texts you received. Even after reading my text message the number never clears itself and goes away it'll still have a number next to it saying I have a text.. Anyone having this issue??
Doesn't happen to me, but I am using Handcent instead of stock messaging app. Try going to applications and clearing the cache/data for the messaging app.
I am completely Stock. Sometimes when I get a text message and I go to it from the lock screen it will go to the very top of the text message. It can get very annoying. I have my text messages set to delete after 200. Is there anyone else that is dealing with this issue?
This happens to me, too, but I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. I usually just scroll a little, then 'grab' the scroll bar and drag it to get to the bottom, but if you back up to the 'All Messages' screen and go back in it will be at the bottom again.
You mentioned you auto-delete at 200 messages, just to throw it out there I'll mention that generally I don't delete messages at all.
When I came back from an overseas flight I finally got signal and 30 text messages flowed in, but I cannot view any of them. When I click the messages icon which has the number of missed texts, it takes me to the messaging screen but it is all blank with nothing there and nothing loads. Also when I tap the phone icon, I can only stay on the keypad, if I click recent, favorites, or contacts, nothing loads either. I'm not sure what is going on but I cannot make calls to anyone unless I memorized their number prior, and I cannot view any text messages. I can only see the quick preview of a current text on the top of the phone. Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this! Thank you!
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
