Box pops up when new Text Message is received? Why!? - General Questions and Answers

Recently after doing a hard reset i keep getting this box that pops up when i get a new text message. this never happened before, it started after i did the hard reset. it looks like something from another app, i have attached a pic; see the box that has the 'Reply Call Delete' options and the arrows(that takes up more than 1/2 my screen). my problem is that this interfere's with M2D's SMS page and i want to get rid of it, but there is no other program that is installed that would cause something like this to happen.
ETEN M600 w/ Kozhura's custom WM6.1 ROM
M2D Update 14
NO other contact management/SMS programs installed.

Have you checked your notification options screen to ensure that the option for it to display a notification message is unchecked?
Also, from the skinning of that, if the above doesn't work, is this a new ROM flash? perhaps it's an application included in the ROM.
Have you installed ANY other interface, whether SMS specific or not, that might have that screen there as a "feature" of sorts?

Yeah, i've already checked the notification message and unchecked it
Nope, same ROM
The only other interface I've installed is Manila2D, even when I used M2D before nothing of this sort happened
I appreciate you trying to help me out though, Thanks.

Your screenshot looks like Zoom SMS.

Thanks Tomdoodly, I guess I should of just searched more, thanks for your help though.
EDIT: I feel retarded now, its so simple, i dont know how i missed it. All I had to do was go into Phone/Settings/Apprciation Software/ and disable everything!!

Text message notifications???

Again, I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing. Maybe I'm a bad searcher... (Sorry)
I get a ring sound, but no visual notification of texts or emails.
Is there anyway to make touchflo3D or something show the actual text message or email pop up when received?
I'm sure there's a small notification icon somewhere, but I can't see it... And even if I could.. I'd rather the message just pop up anyway.
Thanks-
You need to go to Start>settings>sounds & notifications>Notifications Tab>Event>Messaging: New text message> then click the "display message on screen" box.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
EDIT: Repeat same cycle for email notifications.

Oh geez... I am feeling pretty stupid now! Thanks for posting that... I probably deserved to get a "look at your f*ing manual" response.
thanks again.

okay im having a problem with that. I've done that several times and it works for several minutes then my on screen notification stops showing up and the setting is unchecked. Im not sure if its becuase i receive a txt msg while using an app or w/e but i have 2 go through that setting like 5x a day...its gettin annoying!!! any ideas??
Having same problem here. The "display on screen" box keeps becoming unchecked on its own. Does anyone have any idea/solution to this? I recently took my phone back to O2 to upgrade to the latest firmware, and it's still happening. I'm pretty sure it happened with the previous firmware as well.

I noticed that a long time ago too and don't have the solution.
But it seems to me that the option gets unchecked automatically only when you are doing some specifics things wth your device. Otherwise it remains checked and works properly.
For example having the option checked, open some of your usual applications and send yourself an sms (my carrier allows me to send myself an sms through their webpage ) and you 'll see that sms pops up with some of them and not with others.
Luckyly the most recent version of windows mobile (the one with the thick bottom bar) has a new notification method, so when you touch the taskbar, an amplified version of that taskbar rolls out, and there you 've a "message icon". You touch that icon and it drives you directly to the pOutlook app and shows you the message. That's Cool!

Navigation light indicator

Folks, forgive me if this subject has already been addressed. I did run a search and found nothing relevant using "navigation" as my search criteria so here goes...
I used to own a t mobile mda compact and as I recall the nav button (circle) used to flash on a circular motion to give an indication of some sort of alert be it a missed call or a text message for example. Has this feature been overlooked on the Vario IV, touchpro or is there something I need to do in order to enable this useful feature?
If I am honest my patience is beginning to wear thin with this device and its growing list of flaws/missing features which have been left to talented guys on these forums to sort out. Surely T mobile has had plenty enough time iron out these things before this phones release.. (we waited long enough for the thing after all)
My TP does this with the stock rom, no tweak or setting were needed.
Same here.

Apparently you can turn the LED on or off doe missed calls and messages and things like that according to the posts below mine.
There is no way to turn the feature when charging. So if your navigation light does not work when the phone is charging. Then i would say try a hard reset (make sure you backup) and if that does not work then you might have to send your device for warranty or exchange it whatever your options are.
On my Vario IV the settings for flashing the light (around the touch circle thingummy - I really need to read up on what it's called) were disabled by default.
So, under settings/personal/sounds & notifications, check that in the notifications tab that "flash light" is checked for e-mail, text, whatever. Actually, just checked mine after a hard reset and had to re-enable

Actually there is a way to turn on/off the feature for different events (except charging).
Try Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications
When you choose something like New Text Message, you see an option to "Flash light". Check the box and choose how long you want the nav light to flash.
EDIT: Never mind...forgot to post it and it's a little late.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.. I'll try some of this stuff out and get back to you as to whether any of it worked for me.
Disabled Option
I saw this thread and thought that I'd like this too. I have a stock Sprint TP Rom. I checked out my notification settings and the Flash Light option is there for everything but Incoming Call. However, it's greyed out and won't let me check it. Is there a reason this would be disabled?

It probably becouse on incoming call the whole divice is waked up and the send key is blinking.
There is also settings>sounds and notifications>notifications "phone:missed calls". There you can set an action: popup, blinking and vibration.
hope this helps (names of the options translated from polish TP stock ROM so mey not be acurate )
BHole
Thanks folks..!!
Seems like I totally missed those options for the flashlight alerts. They all work for me now. I have combined them with various ringtones to differentiate the alerts i'm getting. It appears the flashlight indicates alerts even when the device is being charged. Thanks again guys, at least "SOMETHING" now works as expected.

Black Bar Predictive Text Annoying Thing!

I just downloaded Solace 1.5 and I have to say wow. This one is great! The only issue I am having right now is in SMS. When I type using hardware keyboard I get this black bar thing at the bottom that suggests words. Alot of times it will just insert the word into the message without me selecting it. Is there any way to disable this? I have not downloaded any other programs, just the rom right after flashing has it already. I have a Tilt, and I cant find any way to get rid of this, tried advanced config, disabled T9, and any predictive text options I could find and it is still there. I love the rom, but this feature makes texting for me almost impossible. I have messaged MBavarian(the Chef) about this, but he is busy with school and other stuff, and I feel I have taken up enough of his time already, so if anybody has any idea what I am talking about, ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT!
Thanks In Advance
have you tried setting suggested words to 0? might help...

Screen Turns on When Text Message is Recieved

I recently downloaded the ROM update for my FUZE seeing how the software I was using on it was back in November of 2008. Now it seems that when I get a text message my screen turns on. I normally wouldn't mind this but when it's in my pocket it'll push buttons and other things. I was wondering if there is a way to prevent the screen from turning on when I get a text message. And help would be appreciated.
try this
go to "settings" and then "sounds & notifications". tab over to "notifications" and then go to "messaging: new text message". Uncheck the box that says "display message on the screen".
i have no idea if this will work. but worth a try.
There's an option under most Advance Configs for "Phone Turns One Upon New SMS" or something worded similar. That's what you want.

Where do I find advanced configs? Is this a program that I have to download or is it already on the phone?
Okay so I'm look at the advanced config but I can't seem to find anything about the screen turning on at all
Anyone got any ideas?
New text message
Is there any why that text messages dont have to be checked one by one. It gets annoying that after i reply to the a message i still have to highlight it in order for it to register that it has been read.
This was just answered for me in the thread for the newest ROM. The registry setting for it is under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent. Set it to 1.
And yeah, text messages not showing up as read unless clicking on them is getting old fast.

How to disable the "Cannot Connect" popup notification?

I first posted this in Questions and answers but know from experience that most of us don't ever read General discussion.
Did anyone manage to disable this annoying "Cannot Connect" popup notification?
Disabling "Display message on screen" for events "Connection disconnected" and "Connection established" via the Sounds & Notifications settings has no effect on this particular message.
I found a few threads related to this issue but none of them propose a working solution.
NoData
I just upgraded to the Raphael today, so I haven't tried this on this model. I did, however, have the Kaiser that I installed "NoData" on because I got sick of that message too. You can install that and it will allow you to toggle your available data connections on and off, thus removing the message.
Punch that into bing or Google and look up the result from MoDaCO. Worked like a charm on my Kaiser.
Disabling data is not a solution for me.
My connection is working properly but I get this annoying message once every few days.
maybe you have "display message on screen" checked under "connection disconnected" in sounds and notifications? where did you get that theme? it has an htc colored title bar to the dialog box.

Looks like EnergyROM to me. Several Raphael flavors available. Made my crappy Fuze into something slick, fast, and usable.

The theme is EnergyROM_Plus.
me personally, i like the popups...the phone has better sounds than others i used... i love my fuze. but i do admit some things can be annoying sometimes lol
I'm with the OP here - i've been searching on & off for a wile trying to find a way of blocking that. again (like the OP) turning off data isnt an option, i want data on all the time - telling me i cant have it is pointless, i can see that by the status bar! just be quite & keep trying to reconnect like a good phone!

do you have found a solution for disable this notification screen ?
i have also this notification sometimes and i really hate it...
(mostly i get this sometimes on trying to "send/receive" in poutlook and no way to disable it ? hmm
i found a solution for it
there is a Reg key...which is pointing to exe file.
if you change the path to an exec which doesn't do anything, then it seems to be working.
'[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSREMNET
'"1"="remnet.exe"
also i add a function to change this reg + an extra exe file which does nothing.
see SchedHandler 1.12
cu camel
more than a year later, the information is found very usefull
I join a dummy .exe for those who could not find any file.
And of course, thank you very much camro !!!
thanks a lot! finally got rid of that annoying popup!

An additional 2 years later and this is a GOD SEND! Some days the pop up comes up, I'd clear it only to have it come right back up! I did have to tell the phone that the dummy.exe was OK to run, but now the message is gone!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
