Interference between SMS Pop up and noLED

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks

Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.

I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

Coredroid lock screen

In the new v5.4 when u get a text the lock screen comes on. Is there to have it not do that and just flash led? I don't like that anybody can look at my messages when I get them.
Thanks

Inspire me, I'm happy to answer your question, but please post all rom related questions in the respective rom thread. All roms are different and not everyone is using the same. Your question will get answered quicker too.
That said, go to settings, privacy, and uncheck display message text on lockscreen. It doesn't keep the lockscreen from coming on, but it's one way to do what you need. I hope that helps. See you over at the CoreDroid thread.

I appreciate that. I did that. I just don't like my screen coming on for battery purposes. I can't post on the thread until I have exceeded 10 posts then I definitely will

How are you getting the screen to light up on receiving a text message? My screen has never lit up from a text notification without using something like GoSMS. Right now if my device is locked, it will only vibrate on text. I'd like vibrate+screen for say 10 seconds.
Many times my phone is on vibrate/silent and I miss a text message because I have no visual cue. I'd use the LED light, but that keeps blinking until you clear the notification.
I'd be okay if I could configure the LED to only flash 3 or 4 times then stop, or stop after say a minute.
Back to topic: Is my phone doing it right, or is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Yeah I see your post count now. Not sure this can be done with stock lockscreen. You may try handscent sms or widgetlocker.

I didn't have this problem til I updated to v5.4 and I have had all the coredroid Rome from v4.5

Double texts

OK I don't know what I did, but now when my wife texts me I receive two messages - so now she's doubly annoying an naggy (joke). Anyone know how to fix this (not the annoying and naggy thing, the double text thing)?
Edit: It happens with both Handcent and stock messenger.

Do you get one message in each app or two in each?
If the latter and if she does also, you might try freezing one of the apps. I was getting the same message in both and froze the stock app.

Do have Handcent setup as default to handle both sms & mms?

Nope, default is disabled.

Is this only when your wife texts? Maybe problem is on her side.

Yep. She uses T-Mobile as well. For a while it happened why my sister and brother-in-law (also T-Mobile) texted. It's very annoying.

I have the same issue. It seems to be at random for me, with everyone I text. Hadn't figured out a pattern that let me figure out why it happens either. I'm using chompsms and get double texts on it. Weird...

Did that when I installed Hancent over a month ago.

As far I can tell this is a bug. I've had this for a while, sometimes worse than others. Hasn't been too bad lately, but I do get occasional double texts. There have been times it was every text though, sometimes up to 4 of them.N never had this issue with any phone other than this one though

Do you have an app installed called Organizer Widget ? Or any other app that has permissions to intercept text messages ? I had an issue with Organizer Widget where it would not send the "text received" signal unless I was on WiFi calling.
Try uninstalling apps that have this permission and see if it stops. Remember what the last app you uninstalled was.

From everything I've tried to find out about this in the past, it's a known issue with Gingerbread. Back on big red, My D1 running GPA15/16 had this same issue, BAD. My G2x on OTA 2.3.3 gets the random double text every once in a while, but it's far less often. There's really nothing you can do. I did find though that if I froze stock messenger I wouldn't get any text messages anymore (I think...don't really remember all that much). So my advice is just to disable notifications in the stock messenger and try not to get too upset by them.

that should have solved the double text notifications.

The issue the OP is having is NOT that he is getting one notification in stock msging and one notification in Handcent, it's that in Handcent he is getting two notifications. He had already indicated that he disabled stock notifications.
OP, I have the same problem occasionally. I have no earthly clue what causes it, or how to fix it, but you're not alone.

[Q] Stock MMS not working with BLN

Hey, guys! This is my first post on XDA, though I've been lurking around for a while.
I'd like your help with something. From what I've gathered on the forums, the built in backlight notification won't work with the stock MMS app because upon receiving a message it forces the screen to turn on, which uses up the one screen turn-on cycle the BLN will be active for.
Is there a way to set the BLN to stay on for multiple screen cycles? Or, alternatively, can I set the MMS app to not force the screen on? Preferably I'd like both of these things, since it's how my old phone was set up.
I'm running DJ-ICS Plus 2.0, if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for having me

If you buy BLN Control Pro from the market, it should let you set up the notifications the way you want.

You have to use different messaging app for BLN to work. Can't use stock messaging app. There is no way around it that I know off.

Some roms offer it, maybe just the t989 ones I cant remember which ones offer that support.

Download SMS popup. Set that up, disable notification in your stock messaging app. SMS pop up is not a stand alone app. It works with your msg app. That's how you can bypass the screen from coming on. There are a couple threads that go more into detail.

BLN

What are backlightnotifications? What do they do? And why do we need them? I notice they are in the updated kernal.

Read the app description for the app FB states is needed and I'm sure you will figure it out.

So instead of my phone screen lighting up when i recieve a notification my back light at the bottom of my phone will light up. Am i right? OH OK I GET IT NEAT!!

Yes. If you get a text or whatever - your softkets will illuminate and stay on as a notification.

Hmm, i flashed the new kernel but bln still doesnt work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

Did you download the app? Did you enable it within the app? Did you flash the kernel through CWM as FB said? Lastly, did you receive a text to test it?

Yes, flashed through cwm. I had an old version of the app, i updated it now but still no luck. And i didnt receive a message, what should i be getting? App is enabled, ofcourse.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

You receive a text to see the BLN. It illuminates your softkeys to notify you of a text.
Or there you can push test notification within the app.

Haha, ofcourse, i know. I thought you meant i had to receive a test message upon installation. No, i already received texts and it isnt working. The test in the app foesnt do the trick either. Bummer, i really enjoyed this on froyo and didva happy dance when i saw it should be working with this new kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

The test in the BLN app will take a few seconds to kick in. Tap on the test text then turn off your screen right after and you'll get the softkeys lighting up.
I've tested this so far with Trillian (works perfectly, the screen doesn't turn on when I get an IM and the softkeys do). GoSMS doesn't work though. Older versions of GoSMS used to work for me on Froyo with the Bali kernel though.
Note that the app you're trying to test this on has to support BLN!!! I think handcent might. You should go through the market and read the description for different texting apps to be sure though.

GoSMS Pro does support BLN. You have to enable LED notifications in settings --> default notification settings for it to work. I have tested and am using with no problems on GoSMS Pro.
I also disabled 'screen on'.

Aha, this was it. I enabled screen on but this is a much better solution . It doesn't work when you have screen on + led notifications enabled at the same time.

Aweeome! Glad you have it working.

Ok, the test works indeed, didnt realise it takws about 5 seconds to kick in. Im using handcent and it doesnt work there, ill have a look at the handcent settings next.

The Bali kernel used a different implementation of BLN. I may end up porting that implementation at some point to see if it helps compatibility.

Well i dont see anything wrong with my settings in handcent, so i dont know why its not working there...

oh I see the built in text messenger or call doesn't support BLN, only some apps.

Not sure about stock. Have not tried it.

What kernal with bln support would be the best for valhalla black

There is only one kernel for GB with BLN. Go to FB's kernel thread.
