Hands down two of my favorite android apps are GoSMS and SMS Pop-up. For some reason, I can't get SMS Pop-up to play a sound, turn on the screen, nothing basically.
Is it a compatibility issue with the Infuse? Every other phone I've used went silky smooth
nobody uses SMS Popup?
I use go sms and the pop up from go sms work perfectly.

GoSMS has a built in pop up window, why would you install the pop up app?

Looking for an app to show sms messages on locked homescreen. Any recommendations?
Flyscreen?
If you're referring to an app which shows a new sms popup on a locked screen, Handcent SMS and ChompSMS both do that. Handcent has the option to not show the sms contents, not sure about Chomp though.

How so? I can't seem to figure it out.
If you're using Chomp, there are some options under Settings > Quick Compose & Reply. Not sure if you have to set the popup notification to be on under Settings > Notifications. Note that I haven't actually tried this yet as I'd rather not have notifications on my lock screen.
I know it works for Handcent though, as I used to have it enabled. Should be under the notifications settings somewhere, can't quite remember as I haven't used Handcent for quite a while.

Doesn't show it on the lock screen, but disables my lock screen when I have a new message.

Are you using Handcent or Chomp? I know Handcent worked as of ~1 month ago without disabling the lock screen (referring to the lock screen which require a pattern unlock, not sure what happens if you don't have that enabled).
I use SMS POPUP. Great app.

I'm using this, too.
And I like it
Thanks guys will check them out! This is just what I've been looking for .
I just received my inspire yesterday. First I should mention that the desire be other box defender case fit perfect. The big issue I have with this phone and text is even if the phone is security lock and screen lock, incoming text message is still displayed on the phone for everyone to see. I'm surprise that I'm the only one that finds this to be a big problem. I already search Google and crab about this issue and didn't find anything. As I'm typing this post have my screen went black
I use Handcent and it has an option in Notifcation settings to "Show when locked". Turn this off and the pop ups won't display when the screen's locked. I didn't use the stock messaging app as I've always loved Handcent. If you choose to use handcent, disable notifications in the stock messaging program all together
yeah use a3rd party mms app, such as handcent where you have more options and control about how your phone notifies you.

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)

No I dont but I figured it out. I went through and unistalled a couple of apps i installed last night. turned out it was beautiful widgets pack 2? couldnt access this app to change settings etc, but tis all fine now!
Does anyone know why the app SMS Popup isn't working for me? the popup notification doesn't show, i've tried to reinstall many times already.
Also, i'm rooted and on cyanogenmod 7. before rooting while on stock rom, SMS Popup worked fine.
Any help would be great thank you
Use chomp instead

and i'm already using Go SMS Pro i just like the popup from SMS Popup more
I'm really really used to MIUI and other roms that will wake the phone to show me a preview of the text recieved, even if the phone is locked. I tried using MiLocker, and the screen doesn't wake, nor does the SMS icon show me a preview of the message.
I'd really just like the screen to wake when I get a text.
Can anyone help? TIA.
I don't think so. Handcent is always an option.

Yeah I would use it if it wasn't so damn ugly.
You can set the lock screen style to Productivity. This won't automatically turn on the screen, but it will show you incoming previews of SMS, as well as email, appointments and calls (you can turn off any of those you like).
Get an app called SMS pop up, its perfect!

Does Android have an elegant/intuitive messaging app with Emoji support? All of these messaging apps are so goddamned ugly... Even chompSMS isn't attractive to me anymore
Hey that Notifier Pro IS a really good app for those of us coming from the iPhone that liked the IOS pop ups on the screen.
I just DL'd the free version to try it out and with the screen off, if you get a message, text email ect, the screen turns on for a few seconds and you get a short banner type message with a contact pic. Pretty cool.
