Notifications - Android Apps and Games

I wonder if visual notifications can be made to show up on the Colour screen. For example, if there is a message in my mail box, should a circle with a number in it appear above my e-mail icons (the yellow envelope note coming out of an envelope)? The number of messages etc shows up on the Always On Screen - but not in the colour screen . Also, is there a way to make a light flash when a message or e-mail has arrived - like Blackberry had always done.

Change text color in email when message double clicked

I recently performed the official upgrade on my Omnia and now when in an e-mail message in Outlook and I double click on the text it is light blue in color and impossible to read in any light. How can I change it back to black text? I loved this feature as I can scroll through a message quickly without graphics or using the messaging scroll bar on the side. I'm not even sure what this feature is called and internet searches were unsuccessful.
Thanks for the help in advance!

[Q] Handcent Constant Notification

Love Handcent, however notifications don't seem to work how I would like them to. I close pop up window, clear notification bar, however unread messages pop back up in notification bar and led starts blinking again after screen timesout to off. Only way I get the led to stop blinking is by marking message read, which I don't always want to do, as I might forget. No other sms notifications on in other apps are active.
Anyone know of settings to make it so the led does not re-blink on screen timeout after closing pop up window (preferred method), or clearing notification bar? I like seeing the green line next to sms for later when I get an actual moment to reply.

[Q] Lockscreen text message display

I am running the stock OPO lockscreen. Trying to figure out how to stop it from displaying text messages on the lockscreen and I just don't see the option. I like the unread count. I noticed if I only have one text message it displays the text right on the cyan part of the lockscreen. Is there a setting I am not seeing to keep the unread count, but not show the actual text message on there?

Text message, missed call notification on the banner problem

This has just started and my OCD is driving me crazy trying to figure it out. For the last year or so everytime I would get a text message the preview would pop up and go away if I didn't choose to view it or close it. Then there would be a envelope symbol on the banner indicating I have an unread text. Now all of a sudden the same thing happens except that the envelope indicator only shows while the pop up window comes on. Then it disappears at the same time as the pop up. So if I unlock my phone I no longer have any indication that I have a missed text unless I go to my home screen and look at the message icon at the bottom of my phone. This is also happening with missed calls. Any ideas?

Whatsapp problem solved on S8+

OK i use the S8+ and i HAD a huge problem with whatsapp notifications and the always pop up display. I like having the pop up appearing each time i receive
a whatsapp message, instead of that small blue pop box at top of screen. I tried everything to rectify the problem and even emailed whatsapp to sort it out.
As usual i just got a generic reply. All of the settings in the app and phone were all set properly and i was angry.
Besides whatsapp , i was also NOT getting proper text message notifcations, but the same old blue small banner at top of the screen.
What i did next astounded me. I DELETED whatsapp from my phone..................i reinstalled it straight away BUT..............................
Whilst i was installing it again, there are some TICK boxes to complete. The first was the usual stuff like allow all things like contacts, location, numbers etc etc......................the next box it asked if i wanted something to do with SMS settings etc (i forgot now)................i DECLINED this one or ticked NO.
Now.....everytime i use whatsapp i get the proper pop up screen......even in the locked screen, and i receive proper text messages as well. No more small blue banner at top of screen. So i guess if you accept the second box on installation you get the small banner preview box and it therefore conflicts against whatsapp..........and if you declne......you get a proper whatsapp and a proper text message.
Hope this clears everything up

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You get the small blue popup when Edge Lighting is enabled, when it's disabled you get the regular Whatsapp popup.
