Moto G71 messenger chat heads and bubbles - General Questions and Answers

Just got my Motorola moto G71 and I noticed I can't use FB messenger chat heads, because android has it's own "bubble function" that needs to be activated to get any bubbles at all. These are incredibly annoying, looks weird with a lil "messenger symbol" and it works super weird, it doesnt pop up when you get a new message, and you also have to inactivate it for every app except messenger.
Is there ANY way to use the normal messenger chat heads instead of the android bubbles? I'll do anything for a solution.

Droidbook

Hello, I am currently working on a app called Droidbook. Why? Basically I was tired of getting 1,000 email notifications from facebook but I wanted to be notified, I was tired of filtering my the facebook email notifications, I was tired of not getting a sexy little task bar notification ( I know I know, use bloo), most of all I grew tired of all the other OS's having a fully working facebook app. So heres my shot at it, but please. What would you like to see in this app?
very interested in this.
i have the same complaints with all the email notifications.

How can I get a cleaner SMS app?

Howdy.
I moved from a Treo pro to a Droid X, and I can now see 3 times fewer SMS messages. What?
Is there any way to get rid of these silly bubbles around text messages? I want it to look like IRC, essentially, or windows mobile sms. The google talk app seems to do it right.

unless all your contact have your google voice number using google voice prob isnt the way to go simce the message they recieve will show up from the google voice number.
you can try handcent. i think the bubbles look b4st but you can go to settings, custom style, bubble settings, conversation style, android and will give you a list view with a line between speakers
Agreed. HandCent is quite the SMS app. You can customize it how you see fit, from button colors to viewable content.

I don't think the OP means that he uses GVoice, but the Google "Talk" app (Gtalk). He/she favors the Gtalk layout over other SMS apps, afaik.

notifications

i want to start by saying i love my htc titan and the wp7 os. just one thing keeps bothering me....its the damn twitter and facebook notifications. i can have the titan side by side with my iphone 4 and my iphone gets notifications way before the titan does. not only does the me hub not make a sound so i have to check it all the time but it get them way later. the facebook app just sucks in general, and it doesnt show half of my notifications. the mehdoh twitter app is great except it doesnt get notifications in a timely manner neither. so before i switch back what does everyone use(app wise) and how do yall deal with the notifications.
Well it depends really. I use the built in "Me" hub for most of my stuff but since I have 3 twitter accounts for various business I use Seesmic.
Personally I would get really annoyed if my phone was dinging constantly from the flood of tweets. It is bad enough that I have notifications pop up on my desktop. I sggest letting microsoft know on their uservoice site that you want faster notifications on certain apps. They will listen.
Mehdoh runs as a background task so polls when the OS schedules it to (which MS claims is every 30 minutes, but in reality is more every 30-60 minutes... often closer to the latter).
If you want instant (or as close as) notifications then you need a twitter client that has push notifications. Rowi has them... Birdsong allegedly has them but a lot of people say its currently broken.
I have apps that send notifications but don't have a live tile which is extremely annoying because I end up missing all these notifications.
A notification center and a backup solution are desperately needed on this OS.

Facebook / Messages (SMS) (WP7.5 8107 Omnia W)

Hi all!
I just moved from Android (HD2 MIUI) to WP7.5 (Omnia W i8350 fw: 8107 locked) and I noticed a couple of things:
- SMS and Facebook chat are merged, without any timeline order. I'll try to explain (I'm Italian, I'm sorry if I'll spell anything wrong):
SMS sent from my gf at 11.00 AM, received at 11.00:03 AM on my device
Facebook Chat message sent from my girlfriend at 10.30 AM, wifi/data enabled on my device at 11.30 AM, Facebook Chat message received at 11.30 AM.
In my message hub the last interaction with my gf that I'll see will be her FB Chat Message (and my reply will pass through FB by default, instead of SMS).
Isn't that strange?
- There's, in the marketplace, an official FB App, that has at least half an hour delay between any notify and doesn't notify any private message to me.
Is the any alternative that could work better?
Trust me, moving from an HD2 that has been able to run WM6.5, WP7.5, Android easily to a locked WP7 device is quite confusing, but I'll try hard to make it work at his best.

Windows Phone will always use the message service that was last used. Since you only enabled data conenction at 11:30 am this was the last message your phone received and it assumes you want to use this protocol/service. You can manually change the protocol/service using the double arrow icon in the lower right.
EDIT: The built in facebook messenger works fine for me. There are only a few (5-10) seconds delay until I receive my facebook messages, no need for me to ever use the facebook app...

Yup, I could understand "why" the system uses the last service used as long as I'm or I'm not using data/wifi, but it's chronologically wrong.
I'm expecting to see the FB message before the last SMS, just because it has been sent before by the other user. (It's just a matter of timeline) If WP7 is able to merge every conversation between sms/facebook it would be fine to get each message in the right time order, isn't it? What if I don't turn on data/wifi for a week, I'd get FB messages one week old as "last" interaction with the other person, even if I wrote him/her by SMS just a minute before?
Of course I'm not expandind the issue to the fact that I've already read on FB that message, and it could be in any way notified as "already seen" on my phone. Leaving SMS / Facebook services in different apps, just like Whatsapp, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. is certainly less "integrated, nice, next gen, artistic, or what else", but more efficient in their real use: to comunicate.
P.S. The delay is really lower on the built in messenger, the app seems to have some different default settings.

WP7 doesn't know when it was sent, though. It only knows when it was delivered to the phone.

I disagree with that, the unified messaging hub is great because I can instantly see all communication with that user independant from the service used. If you still prefer to have non unified messages, you can do that. To quote the famous apple qoute: "there's an app for that!".
Apps like IM+ (search for "implus" on the market), Nimbuzz allow you to connect to Facebook and Windows Live Messenger (among others).
Miyowa allows you to connect to Windos Live Messenger and for Facebook only I found an app called "Fim Chat"
Knock yourself out

This would not be feasible or practical in my oppinion. For one, this would require Facebook to somehow notify the client (phone) that a message has been read and to force the client to delete it. This is not how IM clients work. I think it would be a bad move if a service could "recall" or "delete" already delivered messages. If you're going to read your FB messages using a different client anyways, why stay signed in using the built in client?

Themes / Apps / Mods My idea. Notification History

Hello!
I am very disappointed that there is no preview of the earlier Messenger notification, but only the last ones.
that's why I had an idea how to do it. maybe a bit strange but it works
I am sending a way, maybe someone will like it or think of how to improve it
I use Macrodroid from Store on my phone and make two makro's(in attatch)
This macro duplicate notify from Messenger and still alive. Works only when phone is block. When unlock Notification clear.
We can read all messages from Messenger app.
I set up Notification strange low on Macrodroid that on watch first see original last message from Messenger to fast replay
