[Q] SMS-App changed, but Lockscreen only works with stock app?? - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

Hey Guys!
Because I have the problem, that the stock SMS/MMS app turns long sms directly into mms, I changed the app to smsDroid.
Works fine, I used this app on my Defy before.
But now I face the problem, that the lockscreen will show "New message" as long as I open the message in the stock app... If I open it in smsDroid, only the notification in the notification bar will get away...
How do I solve this problem? It's annoying to open two apps for a sms so that the notification will go away
Hope you guys have an Idea!
Regards,
Muhski

Open stock app
goto settings and turn off the notification..

Hey thanks for the reply!
I already did this, but it only works for the notification in the notification bar...
Whe I get a short message and read it with smsDroid, my lockscreen still shows:
1 unread message
Also the stock app will show 1 unread message in the appliaction menue (little orange "1")...
I'm confused

I've got this issue too, is really annoying I've still not found a way to fix this myself without rooting anyone have any ideas?

Did you try freezing or deleting the stock mms.apk?

Open all your message threads in the stock app to get rid of the "1/xx unread messages" notification at lock screen.
Once it's gone, open Titanium backup and freeze the system app named "Lock screen notifications".
I had the same problem and fixed it like this

I had a problem as i receive message and when i unlock the screen the message becomes read already ........and as soons as screen turn on the notification icons disappears showing that ive read that message....
i simply dellll all the dalvick cache and restarted the phone .........it took time to get stable ...but now its super responsive and stable with no glitches...
if youve deleted some bloatwares or system apps it is necessary for you to delete the dalvick cache for stable performance ....
because deleting the system apps wont delete the cache for that particular app.....that will make phone unstable

I'm not rooted and don't plan to be, there must be an easier easy around this that doesn't need root!

Yes. Root the phone, freeze the app... And unroot once you're done.
What's with the allergy to root? At least it allows you to fix these kinds of issues yourself. If you want something which "works out of the box" and wait months until its works are fixed, grab a Samsung Wave, a Lumia or the like.

Don't advise people to get a wave. Bada is really .... well .... bada

Thanks for tipp with freezing the notification!
But this again is annoying, too, because now I have no notification on the lockscreen ^^
But I think is shouldn't expect too much of Sony making their software working with other software...
Maybe I should get a new lockscreen. Will it fix the problem, too?

I'm not against rooting, but I'd prefer not to,I was rooted before but can't be bothered doing it again if I'm honest! Just want to either integrate/replace the messaging app or stop the notifications!

GOTO lock

any1 using this locker? i got some Q..
y i cant chnage wallpaper on my lock screen.
n y no weather info on my lockscreen?
is there a way to remove our x10 default locker?
I really don't understand all of your writing, but anyway:
I used goto several weeks but replaced it by the latest lockbot pro.
I doubt you can delete the original lock screen, as it is used for more running apps on your phone. I read somewhere if you delete the lock screen and reboot you can t enter your pin anymore, as this is the same lock you see.
Goto and lockbot both over write the original lock screen after one time showing the original once. It is in both apps an option which you can check.
In the latest goto you can change background, but not directly from the lock screen. They made a separate app, goto setup I believe its called. You can find it in your program list. There you can change background and select apps for your shortcut.
Hope this will help you.

ya i changed my background under the goto settings.. but still my desired wallpaper is not appearing.
wallpaper
I have the same problem. But it is only in 1.15 version. On v. 1.12 it was OK, until they didnt separate app and settings.
i had the same problem just try un-installing the app and re-install i still can't get the weather to work but i can confirm that the wallpaper works
well, I have to come back at my statement. I just tested now for over a day goto 1.31 and it is still working very well....of course I write this to early but i did not see the original lockscreen anymore but the only thing is your notificationbar can't sroll down anymore after a while. No idea what is the cause of that as it works in the beginning. For me no problem as I don't use it anyway...but keep that in mind when you test it...
1.31 is quicker with unlocking and quicker with opening your shortcuts which you can put in in "goto settings" (different app in your drawer)
Also changing background went well, they finally made it you can resize your wallpaper on your phone so you can just use any picture on your sd card as long it is bigger than 480x854 for great resolution. I have to admit I used google to get it on my phone. I will buy it if it works for over a week. With lockscreens I just want to test it first before purchase as so far nothing worked on the x10 without problems.
Hopefully this one does. So far so good....
Here a screenshot:

Arnold
wallpaper
I am trying whole day with pics of any resolution and no succes. Help.
i tested some older version before but deinstalled it because i had the feeling it drained battery real fast ...
I've got 1.33, can't really change wallpapers, lock wise its doing a gud job so far.. gonna work on it later!!

Even though i taught I never use the notification bar, it s rather annoying you can't drag it down. My bar is now full of installed signs from updated apps from the market and I can't erase them because of goto... Really shame as lock wise it worked perfect. How is it with version 1.33? does your notification bar keeps working for over an hour?? It stated in the changelog they solved it, but they said that before...
Also it is impossible to get your phone out of airplane mode! so I delete it now and wait for a lock screen app which will work fully on our phone...
@Mobzter: I send you a pm

Notification bar seems to be working fine here.. so far
As for airplane mode.. I think I understand what ya getting at.. my temp solution is using power button to turn screen of that way you can turn plane mode off after you unlock.. although need to do both swipes this way!
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
thanks, I am dying to test it
Edit: found it with google!, will test it now!
Edit2:
Notification bar seems to be working. I am curious if it still works tomorrow. V1.31 stopped working after a few hours...
Background change is going well as well (use the program Goto Settings from your launcher to set a different background)
Will test it for a few days and report again. There must be a lock screen replacement out there working for our phone without trouble!
Edit3: after lots of tests I can confirm the notification bar issue is solved, version 1.33 works good on my x10!
Cheers,
Arnold
I have v1.33 as well. I love how you can prevent the volume and camera keys from waking the phone! That was my biggest issue with these lock replacements. You can also disable the home key from "skipping" the lockscreen. Weather isn't showing and haven't tried changing wallpapers yet. For me, the lockscreen is quite quick, and I haven't seen the original lockscreen yet. I haven't noticed any battery drain, so looks like the phone is sleeping properly. Looks like GOTO is getting it right!
My weather is working, I also do believe they have it right this time...indeed a relieve you can disable the volume and camera keys to unlock...

You have an extra app in your launcher called: GOTO SETTINGS
There you can change wallpaper, set your shortcuts, enter your name and lock the volume and camera button for waking up.
n there's nothing in there to do with weather.. unless you're apk is special? lol

Interference between SMS Pop up and noLED

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

Notifications not working on ICS

I looked around and didn't see anything as specific as this, so I'll ask the question.
A lot of my notifications don't work 80% of the time, whether it's gmail, sms, or a game notification. All notifications are set to be on, but I have a theory. With Ice Cream Sandwich, there is the option to hold the back button on your phone and it will kill your app. I wonder if this might be a culprit. For instance, if I'm reading a text and hold the back button to kill the app, is it possible for that to kill the push notification as well? Granted it could be the ROM I'm using, but no one else on that particular forum has any problem like I've described. Does anyone have any ideas or has this happened on a regular basis? Most things I can live without, but if someone's trying to send me a text message, it might be hours before I think to check it and find out that hours before someone had sent me one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

what rom? how did you flash said rom? Full wipe of data/cache/dalvik? did you restore ANY data or settings with tibu and if so which ones? to me this is sounding like a bad flash. back-to-kill will only take out the active application, notification and sms retrieval is a background process and not susceptible to that.

The rom is The Collective's Redemption. I did do everything mentioned above and the only thing I used tibu for was to restore my apps, but not to restore phone settings. I haven't tried to reflash, and maybe that will be my fix. I still want to see if others might have had this happen to them.
Thanks for the suggestions Darunion.
Been running( mostly) Red for a couple of weeks. I have not seen that issue. The first flash of it did have some strange notification behavior. The contacts app would let me assign ringtones to individual contacts but would still play only the default ringtone when I got a call. Everything has been working properly since the second flash.

Hello, so i upgraded my Nexus S to jellybean and now it seems like it is always killing my apps. for example if i dont use my

Notification tone for messages.... NOT INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS

Since the Oreo update I am not able to set a notification tone for messages... I have FDR'd 3 times now... It wasn't working right away... I have done resets with restoring data and NOT restoring any data..... Whether I change it in the messaging app or in the settings drawer it shows it changes but plays the default tone still.... Or sometimes plays nothing.... Any thoughts? I have cleared cache.... To be honest it seems to be doing kind of what it wants as far as tones for messaging.... I am trying to use factory installed tones and also downloaded MP3 tones... It plays the tone just fine as I am trying to select it but doesn't play when a message comes in............
I thought I had the same problem but finally figured it out.
Under the settings/notifications menu in the messaging app, change the tone in the New messages selection.
Edit: for the record, I hate the way notifications work in this new Oreo update. For example, if I have multiple messages that I haven't read, if I exit the app without having read some, the notification goes away entirely.
Plus, the badge notification isn't working on some apps unless I have it set for push notifications, which I don't want.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now... at least that I know of.

You are a life saver!!! I wonder why we can't change it in the Messages app anymore... Thats kind of a big flaw.... Thanks!!!!
Did you read my edit above? Any ideas?
In particular, two apps, Facebook and Words with Friends 2, I could set them (in Nougat) to not allow push notification but a badge would show up on the icon letting me know I had a new item in the app without it going to the top notification bar. I can't get it to do the same now.

In the notifications for those apps under General Notifications maybe try changing the Importance...??? I am not sure but will for sure look into it.....
My only other known issue at this point is even after 4 FDR's Game Launcher is disabled instantly....

I'll keep playing around with the notifications. Maybe I'll figure it out.
Honestly, I disabled game launcher. I don't even know what it's for. Maybe I'll play around with it to see. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I am not super worried.. It looks like it may be turned off by default until you enable it.... I am not that worried.... I am going to work on getting everything setup and play around and see if I can help you out.... I think I know what you are after.... You don't want to be alerted but still want the badge to show up...

I think this is correct for the most part. Here's what I'm running into now, though. On several apps, including one for work that I need notifications for, the badges aren't even working at all, even with all apps set for all push notifications. For me, the badges are more important on some of my apps than the notifications on the bar at the top.
I hate this. Why would they change something like this? This all worked fine in Nougat.
I purchased Nova launcher prime a while back. Looks like it's time to go try that one again.
I'm having the same trouble. I have Push notifications turned on, but Facebook, Words with Friends, and the native email app won't show badge notifications.
Email shows an old number in the badge when, right after rebooting, it shows the notifications.
I'm not enjoying this update.
