[Q] Is there any possibility to switch off sms report notification only?

Is there any possibility to switch off sms report notification only but leave information about receiving sms in message thread?
I want to have information if my sms was received, but I don't want notification for each sms. It's really annoying.
I also want keep my stock app.
Any solutions?
sorry for my english

I assume you're using a Sense-based ROM - and that you're on about delivery reports showing up in the status bar?
The HTC messaging app is the only app that I know of that insists on putting delivery reports in the status bar, and I agree, it's really annoying. I also think that it isn't possible to silence the notification - if you have delivery reports turned on, you will get a notification for every successfully received message.
I appreciate from your post that you want to keep your stock messaging app, but unfortunately, I can't see any other way than using a Market alternative.
You could always try pulling the default messaging app from an AOSP build on the development forum and replacing it with that. The delivery reports with other messaging apps are quite subtle, and you get small notifications that fade in saying 'Message received by xxxxx.' that fade out again - much less intrusive.

Unfortunately as far as your phone is concerned an SMS is an SMS regardless if its a real incoming message for you or an SMS report notification.
Your phone reacts in the same way.

HTC sense is just basically plain stupid. Talking about Android = Customization.. What a joke.

[Q] SMS Notification Icon in Lockscreen ???

Hi guys, i was using a stock samsung galaxy S2 android and moved into something brilliant and way better ( Pure ICS ROM)
there is only 1 thing i miss from the touchwiz Galaxy s2, and it is the notification icon that you get when an SMS is received or when a phone call is received and you miss it.
I am talking about the red circle that popups on the lockscreen on stock samsung galaxy S2 for unread SMS and missed calls.
I would like to know if there is an app or apk that could bring that SMS/phone notification icon on the lockscreen once again. That was way nice to see if i missed a call clicking just 1 button.
The only thing that came close to that is an app called notifier pro plus, that creates a banner on the lockscreen, but it has some flaws, because sometimes you are using web browser and doing other things and the banner popups not only on the lockscreen but everywhere

nobody?

In ICS, the notification bar can be pulled down on the lockscreen, so you don't need them to show on the lockscreen. Just pull down your notifications.

You can buy widget locker and use any widgets on lockscreen

I have been searching around for a solution of the above question myself, and found that everyone keeps saying to use the notification bar etc - not really helpful, and doesn't answer the question
I found a free lock screen app called 91Locker which will display a notification for unread messages and missed calls on the lock screen, plus a few other nifty features
Hope this helps anyone else that comes this issue

Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky here, creator of NotifierPro.
You may want to try our last app LockerPro, it is a lockscreen replacement with stacking notifications.

Any apps like SMS Popup?

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.

Edge Lightning Not Working with 3rd party SMS

I've recently started using Android Messages as a solution for SMS/MMS.
I've noticed that, despite selecting Android Messages to work with my Edge Lighting, the lighting doesn't work when I get SMS notifications.
I've made sure that Android Messages is the only SMS app set to work with Edge Lighting.
Anyone else have this issue?
Any tips or help?

Did you set android messages as the default messaging app?

Yes, I did.
I'm thinking about combing through the app permissions. I've got time to finally spend a few minutes doing that.

Any update on this? I'm having the same issues on my Verizon Note 9. I'd like to use Android Messages rather than stock Samsung, but can't get the message preview to show up on AOD display while using Android Messages. I get the edge notification when the screen is on.

No update here. I've given up on it. I've just grown used to not getting the edge lighting when I'm using Android Messages for my SMS/MMS.

Go to notifications > Your custom message app > *this dialog will be different (for example I use Pulse SMS) but go to "Default Conversation Notification" and set the importance to "Urgent". That's how I got edge lighting notifications to work. There was a new update to take care of this bug AFAIK but this is how I got it to work.

It's not called "message tone" it's called "notifications" under the sound settings. However there is no option for you to do what your asking with Stock firmware you'll need to find a custom Rom to have this option. I think Lineage Rom let's you do this.

Has this been removed in android 8 or is this samsug s7? (i don't have this phpne longtime yet, bought it 2nd hand for my car that has android auto) there used to be an option in sound settings that had 4 options like email, sms messages and 2 more, you could change the notification sound over there and in sms app there was also an option in the settings to change the sound of receiving an sms but i can't seem to find it ?
EDIT nevermind found it, its in messages app/settings/notifications/general notifications

I think you've misunderstood the OP, notification for a specific contact like your mother in law or something. Ive only ever seen this in a custom ROM.

That used to be in android by default also.
I charged my old samsung s4, it has kitkat 4.4 stock rooted firmware and in there you can select a different ringtone, sms notification sound and vibrate pattern for every contact.
Edit, i just checked my samsung A5 which has android 7 and the option to change the notification sound for text messages was still there in android 7
