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)

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.
I am hoping someone can tell me what is causing this notification. I get two different notifications every time I get a sms/mms message and I actually have to click clear to remove one of them. the other one goes away when i press it. I need to get rid of the one with the yellow arrow, I am pretty sure it is an app doing this but i cant figure out which one and its driving me crazy heh. Thank you.
Do you have handcent or chomp, etc. You gotta turn off stock notifications if you are using one of those.
do you have another sms app installed? like handcent sms? in the application settings there will be an option to display notifications, or just uninstall it.
there is also a setting in the default sms app that has an option to show or not to show a notification icon, but since it seems like your using the default one you want to keep it on..
I dont think I have any sms apps installed, although I have been sick the past week and playing with my phone while on pain killers so its possible but I dont think so. I want to keep the default sms notification not the other.
edit: I for sure do not have chomp or handcent installed.
never mind guys.. I found out its a side effect of beautiful widgets part 2. uninstalled it and its gone.
I have the Inspire and I used to have Handcent SMS messaging application on my old phone. I would like to know, how could I make Handcent the default application for messages? Right now, I am using both Handcent and the stock Messages. When I receive a message, I receive two copies, one for each inbox. How could I set the messages to come only to Handcent?
Thank you
go into the default messaging app and turn off notifications.
Also in settings/applications find the default mms program and clear defaults.
I would like to completely stop it. Not just disable notifications. I dont know if I am making sense.
When I go to
Settings-Applications-Manage applications-"ALL"- Messages
the "clear defaults" button is grayed out, and I cannot click on it.
the htc messaging app can't be removed and is always listening for a message. turning off notifications is the best you're going to do. If clear defaults is grayed out then handcent is already set as your default.

truth. i tried deleting the original mms apk via adb before and using only handcent. the result was i could send messages with handcent, but could no longer receive anything.
the built in messaging app doesn't take up a lot of room or anything.
Both of the app's buttons are grayed out. By disabling all notifications, would i still receive messages in that inbox?
yeah but as you delete them in handcent they'll delete in htc. The program isn't an inbox anyway it's an interface. The messages aren't duplicated in your phone.
Ok, Thank you for your help and time.
no problem that's why we're here
hey
im still rcving the BOTH SMS
with Handcent and default SMS messenger.
theres NO OPTION for DEFAULT SET i cant click on it..
i already DID uncheck the notification at the MESSENGER DEFAULT
and i enabled the NOTIFICATIOn at Handcent SMS
and i still get notification at the Default SMS.. its really anoying
You need to turn off auto-retrieve in the default messaging app settings. It's near the bottom.
I've noticed that sometimes when I get a message, the messaging app doesn't show any notification of it. Notifications are on of course, I'm just using the stock messaging app. The only way I realize I receive these messages is that I have my vibration for new messages done by Tasker, which still vibrates when the messaging app fails to notify me. It seems to just miss messages randomly, maybe the messaging app is being killed due to low memory? I don't have a task killer running.
Is there any way to fix this?

What are you running? What rom, what mods have you done?
I'm running NexusBeam 4.1, with eugene's kernel, no other mods
I have the same problem. I'm running stock ics 4.0.3
I'll get text messages but it wont notify me even though i have notifications turned on in the messaging app settings.
Is anybody successfully using chompSMS as their default text app and getting all of texting features on their watch? (I have a Galxy S6 on Verizon in the US).
Following an old thread for this issue on the Gear 1, I was able to get most of the features working. The issue, lies with the fact that the watch wants you to use the default messaging app "Messages" on Samsung phones (which is horrible). I have notifications for the default "Messages" app turned on and silenced on my phone and not showing notifications to prevent duplicates on my phone. I will copy the process from the other thread and link it below.
The best I am currently achieving is that when I receive a text on my phone, I get the chompSMS notification on the watch and can quick reply to it by viewing the text through the notification screen, or when it firsts pops up on the watch face. But if I go to the "Messages" app on the watch to look through a conversation, all I can see are the sent messages from the phone, and not the replies. I am unsure if this is because part of the chompSMS functions are working, or part of the "Messages" app on the phone are working. Either way, Id like to be able to see both the sent and received texts here.
Upon opening the "Messages" app on the watch, I get the message "Unable to receive messages on the Gear. Change the default messaging app to "Messages". I just skip past it to get to the messages.
Has anyone been able to get all of this working with chompSMS? I am unwilling to switch apps on my phone but if you have gotten other apps working, the process could be helpful to me. I would think there would be a way to trick the phone to use two default messaging apps or trick into not requiring one. I haven't rooted my phone but would consider if somebody has gotten it to work that way.

This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!
Thanks for any help you guys. Much appreciated.
I receive, reply & send with ChompSMS on my watch. I use the messages app on the watch, it *****es that you need different default message app but just click the "X" and send away.

so when you go to the messages app on the watch, you are able to see texts that you send using chomp from your phone? maybe i need to do a reset on my watch..
How do you have the notifications and alerts set up to achieve this?
anyone else have any insight?
I use Handcent and can't get it to work either. The watch always tell me to change the default messaging app. I asked Handcent (through their facebook page) several weeks ago if they were going to update it to support the Gear S2 and they have totally ignored me (and anybody else that posts there). They have a google group now that I submitted a request to join WEEKS ago and its still pending. Because of that, I switched to the default messaging app so it would work on the watch. Apparently handcent isn't interested in helping people that use their app. Perhaps you have better luck with ChompSMS than I have had with Handcent.

Interstingly, I emailed the people at chompSMS the other day and they got back to me very quickly that they have notified the dev team about it (who knows what will come of that).
It seems simple enough. In fact even if the third party apps could be used without being the default messenger, and not show the "make default app" banner when you use them, everything would work great. You'd just follow the instructions i linked above and all the features would work because the stock Messages app would be the default but not be giving you notifications.

I have noticed that it only syncs what I typed to others in the message app, but when i'm texting it show the interaction between who im texting. There is no special config, just make sure Chomp is selected in GM Notifications
