[Q] What does this icon in my text message mean? - HTC Sensation

This is the first time I've ever seen this icon pop up with a text. What does it mean?

Maybe a MMS with a long ass text? Not sure. What options does it give you when you press on it?

Just the normal options for an MMS: view slideshow, save picture, call, open contact, forward, view message details, delete, lock

That was the whole message that I received, there was nothing else & that was well after it was done sending to me.

In the process of sending is a small analog clock icon, plus the message would be in a white tab on the other side of the screen, this one is a received message.
I think this icon indicates there is text along with the picture. Try having someone send you a picture with no text or subject, then one with a subject only, then one with a caption. I think you will find that it is a reminder to read the message as well.

Hmm I'll give that a try. Thanks

Bubble Notifications?

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I don't think it is though but anyways
I was thinking of cool ways notifications could be displayed instead of looking at the top (and reading a little at a time) then the idea of having drop down bubbles that pop up automatically and would show the full notification (SMS, USB Debugging, etc). You press the button and it opens the app or pops the bubble (settings maybe)
Well just letting you all in on my idea. I did a quick google to see if its been done on Android and I couldn't find anything.
Ideas?
You mean like the SMS pop up? But applying that same/somilar pop up window for all notifications?

I mean its like a little speech bubble (from Comics) and it drops down from the Notification bar.
Yes!
I was looking for something like this but in the notification bar, if there one text notification and its a long one why not extend out the notification to show all the text. This could make better use of the notification area.

I just hope someone with developing skills could make this and possibly implement it into roms.

Text Message text in notification bar

Hi guys, I was just wondering is there a way to change the settings in the HTC stock messagin app to stop the full text of messages appearing in the notification bar?
It's rather embarassing if I'm showing someone something on the phone and then a luvvy duvvy text from the missus pops in...

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.

Text Pop up window

Is there an app or any way so when you receive a text or otherwise on the Gear 2 Watch, a partial of the text displays immediately, without you having to click on it first then go read the text in full, so you can handfree read the text first without having to click on it?
Similar to the pebble, that directly displays the text, instead of just a notification you have a text.
Install Android Wear, you can open the message with your wrist. You turn your wrist quickly up and it opens the message.
The latest version of the Android wear has pretty much everything working except camera and calling via the watch.
Screen always on battery life is 2 days for me.

Go to Gear Manager...Notifications and check Preview Message
It will show the person texting and the first few words in a text or the whole text if it is just a few words. It also displays emojis as well on the initial screen without touching it. Once you tap on it, you will get the full text, message, video, etc.

Text Messaging Preview

So I can't find an answer to this....
When I first got my S8+ from Verizon I was able to see a preview of text message while using the phone. Updated phone a day ago and now I can't seem to find an option to allow preview.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip but I meant in terms of actual preview of the text contents.
For example: When I first got my phone and my wife text me "On the way." I would get a banner on top of the screen showing a text from her with the sentence as well.
Now I get "New Message" and I have to open it to see what the message said. I have it blocked on lock screen which I have changed to show just in case that was the issue and it didn't fix it

EDIT: Saw your update.
It's in the actual Messages app prefs. Tap Notification and then turn on Preview message.
