I've had similar issue with samsung advanced messaging enabled. Give it a try with that setting off in the samsung messages app.

Is that in the Samsung messaging app? Because I'm using Google's messaging app.

Uncheck auto retrieve if you haven't.

in the stock messaging app -> settings -> multimedia messages -> auto retrieve .. which I think only applies to MMS not SMS
As far as I've seen, there is only one place to control notifications for the stock HTC messaging app. In the stock messaging app -> Settings -> Notifications .. I would double check all the notifications are turned off in there. No notifications should appear if all those options are unchecked/disabled.
If you're still receiving notifications after double checking they are all turned off, then it would appear HTC didn't code something right in their apk and that is definitely a bug!
Hope the clarification helps! Let us know how it goes!
Yes sounds like a bug. What are my OPTIONS? everything was just like you explain only auto retrieve on mms nothing for sms

What would happen if we deleted or freeze the messaging apk? I'm having the same problem as well

Open Messages>Menu>Settings>Notifications>Received Notifications *uncheck*
That should be all you need to do. If you are getting more than one notification it may be a different app. You said that something pops up, stock messenger doesn't pop up. Do you have SMS popup installed by chance?
I removed mms.apk from system apps and everything is fine now.

That is not an option only for mms not sms

[Q] Can I disable screen on when I receive an sms?

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Same question anyone?

Bump
interested in that too
Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

strange, people use handcent just for mms and you are having issues ,, might be problem with settings
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

Safe to remove stock messaging app?

I've installed go sms and have checked the option to deactivate notifications from the stock messaging app and only receive them from gosms. I am still getting two notifications sometimes. I was wondering if it was safe to freeze the stock messaging app via titanium backup. By the way I'm rooted on tmobile. Any help, thanks.

never remove any stock app like messaging or browser as these are connected to core processes and will render the phone useless.... don't even disable the messaging app as this will cause issues. Just go into the options menu of the sms app and turn off notifications for stock sms then adjust your third party sms app notifications as needed...
Wow never occurred to me to go in the stock app and disable notifications. Thanks a lot guys.

Disable the whole app from your app management in the settings too!

I only get the 'uninstall' option come up and not disable! I'm wanting to disable the default message app as I'm using GoSMS and currently encountering MMS issues. Would like to narrow down the cause by disabling the messages app....any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Solved

[Q] Google voice notification for text/voicemail

Is there a way do assign a different notification for text vs voicemail in the Google voice app?
Set it to receive your texts through the messaging app. That way you can choose your ringtone for texts through your regular messaging app and still get voicemail through the Voice app with a separate ringtone.

OK, I guess my situation is unique because I am having issues with my text notifications through Handcent or the stock messaging app. That's why I went with Voice for all texts. I can live with one messaging sound if this is the only option.
Thanks

You might wanna check your Voice settings on a computer browser to make sure its set to send you texts through Sprint. You may have a setting on there that's affecting it. I do quite a bit of texting on my phone without issue with Google Voice

Looks like there was a setting on the browser version. Hopefully that fixes the issues....

[Q] Sending SMS emoji through hangouts

Hi,
I'm trying to switch my SMS app on my GS4 from what came with my phone to hangouts. Currently when I send an emoji through the built in sms app it is sent as MMS instead of sms (it switchs as soon as i type an emoji) which is fine with me. But then I go to start using hangouts for SMS and I type an emoji and the recipient gets nothing. Please help. I would like to switch.

I'm not sure why it does it but for some reason in certain versions of sms apps with Samsung phones it defaults to mms instead. I know there is an xposed app which changes default long messages back to sms vs mms. I use hangouts as well but it doesn't give me that issue. Then again I'm on an S3
Edit: have you changed the default messaging app to hangouts inside settings within hangouts?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried changing the default app within in hangouts. And the sending via MMS doesn't bother me. If it could fix it I'll send them through MMS inside hangouts if there were a way.

Try using the S5 SecMms_blue.apk.. It allows you to send emoji's through sms.. Just find your carriers or if your international based use theirs..
Just find it somewhere and install as a regular app. I'm not rooted nor plan on rooting.

Umm.. yea then you will not be able to accomplish what you want.. I know thats some Messaging apps use wifi to send pics, but the other person needs to have the same app..
Yeah def check out the xposed module. I think this is ridiculous. I know in the newest version of hangouts in the bottom left hand corner you can click and change back and forth between the two but if you add emoji it might not give you that option. It does me, but I'm running a rooted Moto Droid Mini.
