Messaging annoyance - EVO 4G General

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.

You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Sounds silly, but have you looked throug hal lthe Handcent settings?
Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

Dual SMS Notifications

I am having a right mare! I use Handcent, however I keep getting dual notifications. One from Handcent and one from the stock SMS App. I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.
I have even gone so far as removing the MMS/SMS App with root explorer and still they persist. It is frankly driving me mental. I want to keep ONLY the Handcent one.
Can anyone suggest anywhere to look? I am rooted with Pauls R10 Modaco ROM!
You forgot to disable notifications from the stock app settings which I believe are connected to but not accessible from the stock settings.

Same issue I had. I went into the stock messaging app, under menu, settings, notifications, unchecked the box. That worked for me.

As per the original title I have gone into the Stock App and settings menu from there and disabled them and they still pop up.
You actually did not mention that and frankly I'm inclined to believe that it is still the issue as there would be no other reason I can think of why they would be coming up.

On second thoughts I wonder if this is coming from Elsewhere
If I enable notifications in the stock App I get The smiley face symbol with sender name and message, Handcent notification AND a 3rd one which seems to be the problem one. This simply sats You have New Message(s) You have an unread message. Also when the SMS is read this does not go away either
So where the hell is that one coming from LOL?

I wasnt trying to be picky there! Please dont get me wrong! I meant first post which I did state about trying what you suggested from my first post a quote: I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.

You mean when you enable notifications you get a 3rd popup that is the smiley face in a chat bubble? What happens when you open the unknown notification? What app opens? And if its the stock messaging app, try clearing its defaults.
That is correct about the smiley face chat bubble. When the notification pops up it will open up Handcent. I have tried clearing the defaults as well with no joy.
i had this problem when i was using Handcent
so i removed it
now i'm using GO SMS, same as handcent but better, and it does not have the problem that handcent was having
i only get 1 sms/mms alert instead of 2 when handcent is installed

OK I will give that one a bash then see if it solves it.
No joy, GoSMS just crashes on me. I still get the message even after uninstalling Handcent as well with the stock App

which ROM are you using?
maybe try another ROM?
Using Modaco r10. Might try another or a fresh install.

Uninstall stock messaging app?

I use Handcent solely for my messaging and I am considering uninstalling the stock app to free up space and remove clutter. Is there anything the stock app is required for that handcent wouldn't cover?

If i remember correctly, handcent is merely a frontend for the stock messaging app, if you were to delete the stock app you probably wont be able to send messages anymore, im not sure though
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
That's kinda what I thought it may be. I have Handcent set as the default for everything, but the stock messaging still shows up in in things like "share" and such. And that just annoys me.
I deleted the stock messaging, and don't recall any problems using Handcent. The problem was that it still showed up in the Share menu, and it was annoying to select it and have it fail. I reinstalled it to avoid the nuisance, and just shut off notifications in the stock app.

I use Root Explorer (root is required obviously). Simply navigate to /system/app and look for Mms.apk i beleive. I use the stock google mms app, and thats the name of that one. You'll press the button at the top that says "Mount R/W", then long press the app you want gone, press delete, and accept. Make sure you WATCH WHAT YOU DELETE out of this folder.
Haha, thanks. I've been doing allot of playing around the the system folders; deleting, modifying, etc. Thus I always keep backups and such, and I the SBF files ready to go on my comp just incase of bricking. So how was never an issue, more looking at the impact of doing so. But thanks, irregardless.
I deleted the stock txt app once and I wasn't able to receive or send media txts such as video or pics, same goes for the stock web browser.

You delete the stock messaging app and you loose MMS. You can send and receive regular text but no send/receive MMS.

Can and how can I remove my stock message app

Title explains it all... I just want to use handcent
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
on most phones it causes system errors and force closes. i will go out on a limb and assume the same for MT4G. just install handcent and default it for everything!
ps: have you tried go sms? i prefer it.
I like chomp sms as a replacement if I use a replacement. Has the quick compose option that I like.

Handcent

Would like to use Handcent messages for a while but get two notifications each time i receive a message, i have un-ticked all the boxes in settings but still getting two notifications each time. I am missing something here or is this normal ?
Thanks
Please cancel.......problem sorted
It may be useful to some if you describe the actions you took to sort your problem.
Probably changed a setting in tje Messages app

Solution is to open original messaging app, goto settings then untick notifactions if anybody needs the solution...

Can't see pics with chompSMS?

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to switch to stock messenger to see the pic and then when I go back to chomp it will then show.

Try handcent SMS. I've had problems with chomp in the past and always came back to handcent. The devs are really good about fixing any issues.

Try Textra...it's made by the same people, and it's fast, fluid, and completely replaced my stock messaging app (I can freeze the stock app with no issues). I've had no issues with MMS in it, like I have with most other 3rd party SMS apps.
+1 for textra I use it as my daily SMS app. I was having problems with other 3rd party SMS apps I would take a picture but it would only send sideways it was stupid with textra it doesn't do that and its light so it makes it fast.

+1 textra
OK, so I'm trying out textra and have made it my default SMS. I'm not receiving notifications or the pop up. I'm getting them in the stock messaging though. Am I doing something wrong? Help is appreciated. Thanks.

It's a common problem w chomp i fixed it like so...begin by whining your application cache for chomp and stock messenger. ..
Go to your mobile settings and copy the mms settings or whatever...then input those to the chomp app...i also had to enable in the stock messenger "auto retrieve mms"....then in chomp disable that feature that says something like b preserve resolution"... Once all is done reboot and have someone send you a pic. It should work. Give it a few hours i knew mine wouldn't work right away but now it's golden.
No Textra Notification
This happened to me as well. I found that if I have any additional third party SMS apps besides Textra installed, then Textra will not notify me of a new message. Also check your stock messaging app and make sure notifications are turned off there as well.

I.tried all the suggestions and in the end nothing worked so I jumped ship to Sliding Messenger, which does fine with pics.

Lucky you, I've never gotten Sliding Messaging to fully work with MMS, no matter what combination of settings I've tried. It's the reason I jumped ship to Textra (although to be honest I've been using Hangouts for my SMS lately...the only features I'm really missing are the pop-up replies and dark theme).

It disgust me that there are messaging apps that don't support popup on Android these days especially hangouts
