[APPS] Problem with stock SMS + any other SMS app

Ok, here is the deal bitaches =):
We seen Darky (ROM maker) implement GOSMS in his ROM. It's really good application. You can quick reply and all of other sorts of stuff that stupid stock SMS can't do.
Problem that I examined A LOT is the followoing:
Firstly, you shut down all kinds of notifications of stock SMS app. That goes well. So you don't get two SMS alerts.
But one thing stays and it's ANNYOING. Herei is screenshot: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3637/screenshotjm.png
Even if you read SMS with GO SMS this icon is still on main menu and it shows up SMS number that DOESEN'T EVEN EXIST. I mean, if you even delete SMS from GOSMS it's still there... it's ridicilous.
I tried to delete stock SMS app but then GO SMS lags (and every other SMS app that I tried, like 4 of them) and sometimes notification doesen't even pop up.
If I freeze stock SMS app that's like I deleted it so same ignorant stuff is happening. It's like magic circle you can't solve.
Anyone got solution how to have stock SMS app installed (so everything works properly) but in a way it doesen't pop up stupi number of SMS beside stock SMS icon?
Thanks.

It seems that it's TWLauncher problem. Installing something like GO Launcher fixes it.
Thanks, you can close thread.

Sidekick unknown error on lockscreen

On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.

That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?

thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.

I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.

This is beyond annoying.

Screenshot, please?

Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why

I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.

When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

[Q] Text notification issues!!

OK so my text notifications have just stopped working. I have everything checked in settings to on. And have used it before, it just all of a sudden stopped popping up and now the stock android text preview shows. Is anyone else having this issue? I cant seem to solve it, I even hard reset the phone and it was working for a bit then stopped again. Any help is greatly appreciated, I miss my quick reply

Yeah this has happened to me too, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. It sucks cuz I really like the little text notification thing l: yeaaa..

One of the only problems I have with my texting app is that when I receive an mms text pic it never loads.. also when I click someone's name, it might take me to anothers conversation

Ive tried everything to fix this issue. But i get it to work for about 10min then it just deactivates all over again. Im getting really frustrated with this crap!!! Whats the point of having the feature if it doesnt work!!!

I activated pop ups for my email account and they work just fine... But with sms its no dice, anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

So I finally just downloaded handcent sms and only use it for the pop up quick reply everything else is turned off. Works like a charm and I like it better than the stock pop up quick reply.

[Q] Problem with sms app replacements

I keep trying new sms replacement apps and i really liked gosms and handcent but i have a glitch with them that i cant seem to fix
whenever i open the app i get a notification for a message that ive gotten months ago and already deleted long ago, when i swipe it away or click on it it goes away then comes back again as soon as i open up gosms or handcent but i never get this notification in my stock text app, and i can never get it to stop appearing in any other text app, ive tried as many different settings as i can in the new apps, and tried erasing all my messages, cleared my stock sms app and turned of stock notifications but still getting the notification returning, any ideas?

I have the same problem on my Nexus with ICS 4.0.4

Maybe its just a problem for nexus s w 4.0.4 cause ive tried them before when i had gingerbread and 4.0.3 and had no problems

I also had that problem.

Perhaps clear data on the stock messaging app? Maybe even delete the db associated with it? I would search up on that though as I'm just assuming it will automatically recreate it. I'm also not sure of the name of the file.

Not getting some sms notifications

noticing that sometimes I don't get notifications for sms or mms. Any one else having this issue on KitKat? Have any fix?
I've tried just about everything like switching hangouts to the stock android sms app, freezing circles (since its tied in with sms in a notification sense), turning off and on all notification toggles, a factory reset and also tried reflashing the fxz file with RSDlite.
I'm totally stumped.

i dont really have a fix, but i use some reminder apps.
maybe that will get you around this issue until a fix is found.
here are the 2 i use,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.missed.activity
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotifylite

I have the same problem. Its really frustrating because I have to constantly check to see if I have new messages. And the reminder apps didn't work for me. Because the notification doesn't ever actually exist at all, I'm assuming that's why. They work when I go into hangouts and the new message shows up, however.
