Need help when combining GO SMS and Widget locker - General Questions and Answers

It's really odd and I can't figure out how to change it. When widget locker is enabled and I get a new text, I scroll down (captivate btw) and click to read message........and the last message the person sent me shows up. None of the arrows to move to the new message work, and when I click 'open' it takes me to the normal captivate lock screen.
My best method so far is to scroll down, open message, see the old one, close the text box, unlock the phone with widget locker, and then open my messaging again....which is a fail IMO.
Help if you can!

Widget Locker Question

So i had a couple questions on widget locker. i searched for about 25 min, but couldnt fine the exact answer i was looking for.
1. Why is it that the sense ui slider is lower in widget locker than it should be? is there anyway i can get it to be in the same place it normally is?
2. How can i get incoming calls to go through the stock htc sense slider? because when the phone is locked, it just goes straight to the answer/decline buttons when receiving a call, as if the phone is already unlocked.
thanks!
#1 the dev said he was going to implement the ability to move sliders and resize widgets.
#2 ? I don't know
hope that helps...
It will go to the slider if the screen is off. I use widget locker and get the sense slider if I get a call with the screen off

really? on my phone it doesnt do that
Just use your home or back button to unlock the phone and then you don't have to worry about it. It gives you lot's more room on your screen for other goodies.
I dont have a issue with the lock screens when i recieve a phone call either.. maybe try going into advanced settings and enabling the "5 second rule". or i think I remember a setting in there about " show during phone call ".
As for slider location there are two, under "look and feel" "slider layout" or something like that you will see a list of sliders to choose from. by default its on "widget locker" which is enclair's slider but all the way on the bottom, if you scroll down the list you will see something like "standard android" or "enclair" my phone is dead or i'd look but play with the sliders you will find the enclair slider in the proper location
hope this helps
From Widgetlocker tool mode check out menu > settings > popups > hide incoming call
i tried all that, i think the problem was the phone was just not going to sleep due to widget locker, so when i'd call it would act as if it was awake and not require unlocking. thanks for the help! still wish i could move the sense slider bar to where it should be though

Had this same problem, had to stop using widget locker until dev comes with new update

unlock directly to new text

is there a way to unlock the phone and go directly to a missed message? It seems the only way is to put the messaging app as a lock screen shortcut, then drag that to the circle, but this doesn't go to newly received messages, it just goes to a list of all your message threads
I'm also really curious about this. I don't think we can go directly from the lock screen to the message itself, from what I've tried.... Anyone else more familiar with Sense 3.0?

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.

Aggravated with android texting apps, any ideas.

I have been an android user for 5 years but recently my S6 got broken. So I used my daughters old iphone 5s for a few weeks. I have to admit the texts simplicity was really very nice. I receive a text with a popup in the middle of the screen, swipe left to dismiss or swipe right and the message app opens with the keyboard popping right up. Very convenient especially one handed. With android I need to swipe down the banner, tap reply and and then also tap in the reply area of the message to get the keyboard to pop up.
Ive tried a few apps with good results but just nothing as simple as the iphone. Chomp ok but won't show MMS in popup and no sending indicator. Textra good but small banner popup only on top of screen plus no sending indicator. Yaata best so far but sends all my pictures turned sideways. Also all the texting apps show all my previous texts once I download the app but the scrolling if VERY VERY choppy. I do plenty of one handed texting and just like it to be as simple as possible. Thanks, Tim

Are there settings for the following?

Are there settings for the following features?
1. To turn off the message on the home screen that says "swipe up or down to show apps".
2. Turn off the Wallpaper for the Always On display?

The swipe message disappears after you use the gesture to both open and close the app drawer.
As far as I can tell, that wallpaper is unchangable.
I already post this in another thread...
The blue text on the lock screen.
You have to double tap on it then tap the next button in the bottom right.
Keep pressing next until it turns into ok.
Once done it wont come back on.
And you can go into the aod settings and change the background and style of the lock screen.
You can definitely change the wallpaper for AOD, in the themes section. I've seen a select few other wallpapers for it, keep in mind the theme store has more paid ones than free.

I have opened and closed the app drawer over and over with this gesture and yet every single time i unlock my phone, i get this message. Are we sure thats the solution? I've even restarted my device and did a restore on it as well and i still get this message. It is absolutely mind boggling that there is no way to actually disable tooltips like this one.
EDIT: Ask and ye shall receive! So, no sooner than i posted this did i look and my phone was downloading an update. After the update this annoying message is GONE! Whats funny is the first thing i did after getting home with the new device this morning was to check for software updates and there wasnt one.
