I just received my inspire yesterday. First I should mention that the desire be other box defender case fit perfect. The big issue I have with this phone and text is even if the phone is security lock and screen lock, incoming text message is still displayed on the phone for everyone to see. I'm surprise that I'm the only one that finds this to be a big problem. I already search Google and crab about this issue and didn't find anything. As I'm typing this post have my screen went black
I use Handcent and it has an option in Notifcation settings to "Show when locked". Turn this off and the pop ups won't display when the screen's locked. I didn't use the stock messaging app as I've always loved Handcent. If you choose to use handcent, disable notifications in the stock messaging program all together
yeah use a3rd party mms app, such as handcent where you have more options and control about how your phone notifies you.

Got a weird bug that's started today. When I receive a message I have my little screen bubble with a smiley in it for handcent and no a black and white envelope and my ring tone plays twice too? I disabled notifications in the stock app so no idea why I get this other notification? It stays there until i clear it or click, and clicking just takes me to handcent??
Anyone help?
Just upgraded to CM7 on HTC Desire HD btw
do you have any other message app installed on your phone that shows the messages or otherwise?
oh and if you have handcent set up as default message application, that will be why it goes to handcent. to me it sounds like another app notifying you. one that comes to mind for me would be pure messenger widget. or another app that uses multiple messaging methods (e-mail, sms etc)

Hello I just received the HTC Sensation yesterday and this phone is amazing. I have one small issue though that I haven't been able to find using search.
I'm currently running Android Revolution 3.0.1 and whenever I receive a text while the screen is off, the notification rings but my screen remains off. I spent an hour already looking through settings and other options on "how to enable the screen to turn on when I receive a text" and I can't seem to find it.
Where/what is the option to enable it? Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Can't do it with the stock sms. Go sms and I think sms popup, maybe others from the market can do this.

+1 for SMS Popup
Use Tasker.
I also use SMS Popup, great app. Answer your sms messages right from the pop up. Lots of good settings to fool around with.
try handcent? whatsapp doesn't work too. kinda disappointed.
I'm really really used to MIUI and other roms that will wake the phone to show me a preview of the text recieved, even if the phone is locked. I tried using MiLocker, and the screen doesn't wake, nor does the SMS icon show me a preview of the message.
I'd really just like the screen to wake when I get a text.
Can anyone help? TIA.
I don't think so. Handcent is always an option.

Yeah I would use it if it wasn't so damn ugly.
You can set the lock screen style to Productivity. This won't automatically turn on the screen, but it will show you incoming previews of SMS, as well as email, appointments and calls (you can turn off any of those you like).
Get an app called SMS pop up, its perfect!

Does Android have an elegant/intuitive messaging app with Emoji support? All of these messaging apps are so goddamned ugly... Even chompSMS isn't attractive to me anymore
Hey that Notifier Pro IS a really good app for those of us coming from the iPhone that liked the IOS pop ups on the screen.
I just DL'd the free version to try it out and with the screen off, if you get a message, text email ect, the screen turns on for a few seconds and you get a short banner type message with a contact pic. Pretty cool.
I have been using SMS Popup since the original G1, but they said with the switch over to Hangouts on the Nexus 5, there are some bugs that they are unable to work out. Is there a different app you guys are using that's working without any issues? I just want the message to popup and the ability to quick reply to it.

This isn't *exactly* what you're looking for, but check out DynamicNotifications. It makes it so when you get an email, or text, it shows message details on your lock screen and you can swipe to unlock and it'll go straight to the message. Hopefully it'll fill in the gap, as I've replaced SMS Popup with it since my Galaxy Nexus.....
I'll think about it, but at the moment, I don't have a lock screen enabled.

I second this, pure stock android messaging, extremely customizable, has popup that can be toggled, toggle it to turn on your screen, change MMS size, app icon, has status bar "Read" "Reply" options, best sms app I could ask for on this device.
Hi, I'm a proud new owner of a HTC U11 and it's my first Android phone. I am having a bit of trouble with the stock messages app as the notifications are not showing on my lock screen so I don't know what type of notification I have received until I look on the menu page and check all my apps. The led light flashes when I get a text and the phone vibrates but no notification on the lock screen. Apps like whatsapp work perfectly fine and show on the lock screen. I have checked the settings on notifications and everything is turned on (as far as I am aware). Does anyone have any advice on how to get the notification working or recommend a better SMS app for the few SMS that I still receive?
Thanks

what does it say if you look in Settings -> Apps -> Messages -> Notifications -> "On the lock screen"?
