Strange problem CANT ACCESS MESSAGING

When I try to get into my email or SMS on my touch pro nothing happens. Whether I do it from the Home Screen or the Start menu, there is no response when I try to open it. I've also had a couple of people send me texts and no ring nor vibrate.
I've never had this problem before. I've restarted the phone a bunch of times. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same thing this morning, a soft reset solved it for me though...
(ROMeOs V1.12)
Did you hard reset yet? What ROM are you running?

Are you using a taskmanager? If not, you should try to install one. I think messaging will probably still be running in the background and for some reason stuck there. That would also explain why you don't receive any notifys on new messages.
Just an idea. HTH

I Updated to ROMeOS1.22, and have had no problem since...
The Task manager did not show Messaging running though..

Mine did the same last night. Soft reset did not cure the problem. I had to power off / on.

may i know what sms task prog name? izzit tmail.exe?
today happen again, seem nothing wrong with tmail.exe from background. But i close the task, and i able to access my messaging again without soft reset.

make sure you have your email set to download the whole message because if you don't it will not allow you to open the emails. especially if it is set to the default 2k. This will stop you from even clicking on the message. hope this helps

Yes, tmail.exe is pocket outlook. So when this is still running in background that's exactly what I mentioned above. I had this problem once on my TyTN and I fixed it by using a task manager that really closes pocket outlook every time I press OK.

I thought I was doing something wrong to have this problem. It only happened a few times and only with sms. Glad to see a workaround.

You're welcome, glad I could help (at least a little)
I don't know another solution unfortunately. I bought HandySwitcher at that time and set it to close applications by default (which also worked with the hardware OK button). That way I never encountered the problem again.

[Request] Screen light up on SMS

I've searched around a bit and no luck. Is there any way to get the screen to light up when a new SMS is received? The trackball lighting up is a nice idea, but I rarely notice it when my phone is on silent. I've looked through every option on the N1 and don't see it anywhere. I also searched the nexus forums here and with Google. Thanks.

wow you rarely notice the trackball? I find the trackball notification way to bright. such an option is indeed not available. I am not sure if many others have your problem, so I am guessing they wont make an app for that

Have you tried Handscent SMS: http://www.handcent.com/. Does the job nicely; turns the screen on with a handy quick reply pop-up. Make sure you disable the default message notifications mind.

Wow, this is perfect. Thank you!

If you are like me, and prefer the stock messaging app, then you should look at SMSAwake.

1 vote for Handcent from me.
It works perfectly with ALOT of options and settings to choose from.

I use SMS Popup from the Market and it works great. It also has its own notifications, or you can just use the default N1 ones.

GOSMS PRO?

Does anyone here use GO SMS PRO? Im having an issue where if a text comes in and the popup shows the message, and I dont touch the phone and the screen turns off, GOSMS PRO will mark the message as read as the notification is removed and when you go to the app, it shows that the message was read when it was not. Also if I just close the popup window it also marks the message read and there should be an option to mark it read or not. anyone know how to resolve?
If I can not, I will have to remove the program as I am missing text messags because the come in and later when I look at the phone, and go into the program, I find text messages I didnt know I had.

Hmm thats really wierd ive been using go sms pro for a while now and i havent had that problem at all. what rom are you running

SPRINT LOVERS ROM. I tested it several times. I receive a text message and as soon as the screen goes off, the notification is gone and the message is market read. I switched to a program called SMS POPUP that works with the standard text messaging app that comes with the phone and it doesnt dismiss the notification or mark the message read. I think there is a GOSMS PRO error.. also if yo just close the popup, the notification goes away.. whats funny is later I went into the GO SMS APP and I saw the popup window still open in there..

Does anyone know how to email the developers so I can ask them about this issue???

I used handcent for awhile, I really like it. I just went with gosms for a change. I like to switch it up a bit to keep my brain guessing. lol

IM trying to figure our why I need this over the STOCK app + SMS POPUP? can someone tell me??

Well because sms popup looks retarded and the stock sms app isnt better than chomp, handcent, or gosmspro. and maybe because you just wanna have your own spin on very little part of your phone

[Q] Hangouts SMS no notification after uninstalling Light Flow

Hello everyone,
Earlier today, I decided to try out the Light Flow app (to customise LED notifications). I didn't really like it so uninstalled it again. Since then I've noticed some issues with Hangouts SMS notifications. When someone sends me a text while my phone is locked, my phone does nothing; no sound, no vibration, no LED. When I unlock the phone (just pressing the power button so the screen pops up), the message immediatly pops up as if it arrived just then.
Does anyone know what could cause this, is there some kind of option for this which the Light Flow app turned off? Also, the issue I just described doesn't always happen, sometimes messages just pop up (sound, vibration, LED) as they should, sometimes nothing happens untill I unlock the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Go to SETTINGS, DISPLAY & then make sure PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT has been checked. Rule of thumb: Always restart your phone once uninstalling or adding an app that makes such alterations to the software for seemless performance.
If I've helped you, then please help me and hit the THANKS button .

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is checked. The problem doesn't always happen though, sometimes messages do pop up as they should. Also, apps like Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp seem to be still working as intended.
I also restarted my phone already, didn't seem to solve anything .
I think I somehow need to make sure my Hangouts app will still run in the background when the phone's asleep, no clue how though.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

OK, go into HANGOUTS, hit the SETTINGS tab (3 dots at the top right corner), then click on SMS to check if NOTIFICATIONS is checked & then back out once & do the same with HANGOUTS by clicking on your email name.

Hey,
Thanks again for your clear reply! I appreciate the fact you're taking your time to take screenshots to help me out . I had all those options checked though, so that couldn't have been the issue. I think Light Flow somehow altered my software so other text programs don't run in the background anymore. Although this doesn't explain the fact that most of the time messages seem to appear as they should. I'm lost... :laugh:

You're very welcome. Is suggest downloading LIGHT FLOW once again and see if there's a setting you can unchecked then uninstall. Also check ACCESSIBILITY setting and uncheck LIGHT FLOW. I believe it should pop up in there once installed.

How about clearing data of or uninstalling/reinstalling Hangouts?

I'm having the exact same problem. It also started after removing Light Flow. Did you get it working again? I tried different SMS apps but still no sound when I receive a incoming text msg.

Weird Oreo notification problem

Okay so this is really weird and I don't know how to describe it but I will try my best
I really enjoy Oreo but there is a strange problem with the notifications that I have, so I thought maybe I'm not the only one
It goes like this: for example whatsapp, but it happens in all apps as far as I have noticed
if a person X sends me a message, I get a normal heads up notification
but when another person Y sends me a message, a heads up notification will pop up, but it will show the contents of the person X
if another person Z sends me a message, I will still get a heads up notification from the first person X
Does anyone else here have the same problem? Could someone help me solve it because it's really annoying and I miss important notifications constantly...
Thanks
EDIT: Already tried wiping the phone... didn't help unfortunately
Also notification dots don't seem to work for me, like mentioned in the other thread

Anyone?

That's a whatsapp bug probably caused by a poor code refactoring/update to the new oreo notificaiton fw. Stop reflashing your phone and wait for a whatsapp update. (which previously had so many bugs with the notifications).
**And notification dots are not implemented yet. It's also missing from the xperia home beta. More features will hopefully come in following sony updates... Stressing on the hopefully part lol...

This happens with WhatsApp and Signal, that I noticed. It doesn't really annoy me tho, to be honest. I could just slide the notification panel down and read the old notifications

Then it's not only WhatsApp that has the bug.
Guess we have to wait for all the apps to be updated...bummer
EDIT: I think this has something to do with Sony, because my friend that uses a OP3 doesn't have this problem.
