Is there a way to use the text message as an alert system? In other words have an app that sends out alerts and makes use of the text notification system without actually sending a text through the cell towers?
That way apps could make use of the lock screen notifications, etc.
I also noticed that texts coming from numbers like XXXX do not count on your bill. For example marketing texts from MyCokeRewards, etc.
I'm hoping (and praying) that eventually the lock screen api gets opened a little more, or maybe other official or big names have access to it... With that being said, some you do get charged for some of those texts, which is why they always have that disclaimer that standard messaging fees apply. It might be confusing to use a system like that, but I do agree with you with needing at least a section that notifies you that there was SOME sort of third party notification.
Yeah, the phone will not display on screen notification other than what comes with the phone.
So there's no way to trick the phone that it's receiving a message. Can't you have an app that send a text internally to the phone messaging system?

Having a slight problem here with my new captivate (came from an iPhone 4 and happy btw )
When someone sends me a text, and I reply... sometimes my 'bubble' will go above theirs and during a fast texting conversation I can send many texts that will go above all of my friends, causing it to be very hard to read. This happens with a bunch of people that text me. All people involved are on AT&T network, all getting automatic time from smartphones.
Any way to force texts to go in the order your device receives/sends them rather than by a time stamp?
Thanks folks

Disable notifications in the settings for the Messaging app that came with the phone.
Hi,
I've been trying to disable talk application to display text of incoming messages (security risk), while still being notified when new message arrives. Not an option . You can either disable notifications for good, make them pop up (even worse) or have it as it is by default: showing you a line of text from last message you received.
I installed trillian IM hoping it would have the option I need, but with no luck. I'm perfectly happy with talk app btw, but lack of this option is simply plain old stupid.
Does anyone know how to resolve this or some other IM messenger that I could use instead, which has this nice little option?
Cheers
Wondering if anyone knows all of the texting apps that have the ability to enable a multi-second delay before sending the message. For example, with ChompSMS you can enable 'Delayed Sending' which gives you options of 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds, and 3 seconds. With this feature enabled, after you hit SEND in the app, you see a short progress bar counting down the seconds and the SEND button changes to STOP so that, if you notice any typos/mistakes/etc, you can hit STOP before those 3 seconds are up and the message will not be sent. Handcent also had this feature too, but I am not aware of any other apps that have this feature and it really is a must-have for me.
I also like the ability to reply from notifications in my texting app (i.e. Sliding Messaging, stock message app) but ChompSMS does not have this (I'm on Jelly Bean 4.3 running CM 10.2). Unfortunately ChompSMS does not have expandable notifications yet that allow me to reply from (instead of having to open up the entire app) so I am looking into alternative text apps with this delayed feature. Ideally, I'd like to find an app that has this multi-second delay before sending as well as expandable notifications that you can reply from (i.e. Sliding Messaging). I dont like intrusive 'pop-ups' that display on your phone for every message you get, I'd rather just be able to reply from the notification bar for certain messages.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Go sms has that feature. A little countdown on the send button pops up and you can cancel it. But it's a premium feature, so I believe there's a ONE TIME fee... But I know for a fact it has it.. And it also has a pop up message option which I think pops up in front of other apps and you can simply reply from there... 'GOSMS' PLAYSTORE

hi guys, I have the gear s2 for about a day only so far, and is hoping some of you can help me with the issues I'm experiencing.
1. When I receive a message on Viber, the watch doesn't vibrate (have read through similar threads on this already and have tried factory resetting and uninstalling the gear app on my phone). Watch vibrates fine when I receive messages via the default messaging app. I did add Viber to the notification apps on the gear app.
2. Checking the notification area, it just shows me "NAME has sent you a text message" instead of the actual message itself. At first I thought this is as good as I can get it to work, and that it isn't compatible with Viber to show the actual messages, but last night when I went to sleep, I received 3 Viber messages, and this morning, when I checked the watch, all 3 "actual" messages were displayed on the notification screen. So there must be some ways to make this work? New messages I've received thus far this morning have reverted back to "NAME has sent you a text message" notification. I think it is kind of pointless to have a smartwatch that doesn't vibrate when someone sends you a text via Viber, and when you do check your watch, you only see a notification that someone sent you a text message instead of being able to read the actual message.
3. The watch forces you to use the default messaging app, and won't work properly with Go SMS Pro. I've always used Go SMS Pro, because the default messaging app is very slow on threads with a lot of messages. Any workaround for this?
4. Is it safe to use the dock with my Samsung quick charger adapter or do I have to use its own adapter?
I pair the watch with a Galaxy Note Edge. Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed the Viber issue by enabling "Show Message Preview" on Viber settings within your phone app. The downside is, when enabled, the notifications on your phone when you receive a Viber message will also show the whole actual message.
anyone guys? especially #2? Is there a way to make viber messages show the actual message itself and not just a notification? thanks

After using the watch for another day, I found out that Go SMS Pro works with the watch, and you don't have to use the default Samsung Messaging app.
Also found out that when you receive a Viber message from 1 person, the watch will only notify you that you have received a text message. But if another person sends you a message through Viber as well (without you opening your phone yet), then both "actual" messages will start to show on the watch. Replying will still require your phone, as you can't reply though the watch. Weird that this happens and I hope it can be fixed.
Thanks.
The incoming call pop-up thingy is annoying me daily. The buttons are very small, and when I end a call I sometimes click after the other person has ended it so I then start to send a text message (same place button).
I have gone into apps and blocked the popup notifications for all 3 call apps, & the contacts app, and then I went to apps the can appear on top and turned off some stuff there as well, but still the popup stays.
So I would just like to have the normal call screen, at all times. The same one you get when you start a call yourself.
Is there a way, without rooting, to do this?
I've seen the google dialer apk which would probably fix it, but rather have stock dialer if possible.
It's in settings for Messages but not for Phone. Could be different for different Roms.
There is a line in phone preferences xml called "call_popup_preference"
If you're rooted you could try flipping that to false.
