[Q] Quick Question for Anyone - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I recently got a new Mytouch 4g because my last one was faulty, but I can't seem to do something I was able to do with the last one. How do you set up the text message previews on the lockscreen? Trust me, I've went to the message settings and checked display preview but it still will not work. I'm using gosms pro, Do I need to delete anything that might be preventing it? Or does this seem life a software problem and I need to send back to T-mobile?
THANK YOU for any answers possible,
Justin

Are you talking about the pop up window? It is in go sms settings> notifications> enable pop up windows....there are servings for the window right below that...

When you say you went into "Message settings"... do you mean the stock message settings or the settings in GoSMS? If I were to guess, going into stock message settings wouldn't affect anything if you have GoSMS set as the default messaging client.

I'm talking about when you get a text message and the message preview displays on the lockscreen. How do you do that?

It would be a setting inside gosms if it is possible. Stock settings wouldn't change anything if you're not using it.

'Disable' HTC Message app?

Hey gang,
I've just installed Handcent and its very Awesome indeed so I want to make this my default SMS/MMS app.
My question:
How can I stop the HTC Message app from running in the background and, presumably, eating battery/CPU cycles.
I've turned off notifications for the HTC Message app so I only receive SMS notifications from Handcent but I want to kill the HTC Message app permanently. I should also say that I don't want to delete or 'un-install' it.
Thanks for any ideas,
E
BTW: Handcent is sweeeeet for those that haven't tried it. Big recommend!
get a task manager to stop any app you'd like.
The bug with the HTC messaging app was activated by sending a message through it. So if you haven't *sent* one through it since rebooting the device, it shouldn't eat hardly any resources.
I find that I get double notification sounds.
I'm sure although switched off, the HTC Messaenger is still sending the notification sound through.
Either that or Handcent is doing it twice :-(
You need to disable notification from the internal app. All Programs < Messages < Menu < Settings < Uncheck auto-retrieve & uncheck Notifications.
Thanks very much for this post
I came to ask the same question and you had already asked it. My problem is solved.
And yeah...Handcent is super sweet! \m/
Anyone know how to remove messaging from the phone permanently and just have handcent?

So i just went to that website and it was another forum which a guy said to go to another forum which didnt answer the question. So i just tryed it out and removed Mms.apk and replaced it with handcent and everything works.
I know this is an old post but i figured i would update it with the answer for future searchbutton users

Ideas To Disable Default SMS App - Android
We're devleoping an SMS app for Android and are looking for ways to disable the default SMS app (all handset types).
Besides having the user manually disable notifications and auto-retrieve, any input on integrating and automating this with our SMS app or better ideas. Thank you.

I don't think there is , but is pushing one notification icon too much work??
Get handcent or compSMS. I use handcent. Worked better for me.
Edit: thought I was in the Desire forum, but I guess it should work anyway?

i mean its not that big a deal but just like anything else you put on the phone you dont need it but its cool.
Go into the notification settings:
settings-> all settings-> sounds & notifications-> notifications
from there select the event: Messaging: New text message. Check the box "Display message on screen"
Now when you get a text there will be a window that pops up from the bottom of the screen.

The apps you suggested are for Android and the HD2 is Windows Mobile so its not going to work.

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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.

Why am I losing text messages?

Whole message threads seem to have vanished on me...did reboot this morning but still that shouldn't be happening
I have never had this happen to me; make sure you don't have any settings enables to delete them enabled though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Two questions:
1) yes, there are settings to delete messages after a certain time / amount...check text message settings.
2) have you ever texted someone to their email address or had someone text you from their email address? This creates a pretty bad bug in Android before 2.3.
I am not seeing g any settings for texts that says when to delete them or not...either way though I doubt that would be it ABC the phone and rom were like brand new

Schedule SMS?

It's there a way to schedule SMS in the stock app?
Yes. Its in the menu (the 3 dots) in the upper right. Start by making a message or opening a conversation.

T-Mobile has insert smiley, block number, edit recipients, quick reply, schedule sending & add subject in that menu.
Yes, I believe you have to disable advanced messages

Why? Mine works.
It's seems you have to have at least 1 received and 1 sent text in the string in order for scheduled sms to appear. I get the option on all my messages except for one I only received one message. T mobile.

I'm in Verizon, I don't have advanced messaging
Sent from my VS995 using XDA Labs
It doesn't matter whether a conversation has been started or not, and it does work with advanced messaging on. I'm on ATT and can't even disable the advanced messaging for some reason (it's on, but the option to disable the checkbox is grayed out).
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
The 1st picture is with advanced messages off, the 2nd is with it on.
I'm also on AT&T and I can toggle my advanced messages on or off..
You all already saw the previous screenshots which showed the scheduled messages options, so its obvious that I am able to do them. But my advance messaging is locked on for some reason, so even with it on, I'm able to use scheduled sending.
Edit: It turns out that it's grayed out because I disabled Enhance LTE Services. If I enable that option, I can then toggle Advanced Messaging, but with Advanced Messaging off, I can still schedule messages if and only if I'm starting a new conversation. If in an existing conversation, the option disappears.

Not sure about T-Mobile but at&t does not typically use the stock android messaging app. VZW is using the LG app. I checked the google messenger app and do not see a schedule option either.

Hi,
I just got the new LG V20 for Sprint after my Note 4 totally died on Friday 12/23/2016 as I was about to make an 8 hour drive.
I was trying to hold out until new Galaxy 8 came out in their new super large screen.
Never made it.
So I had already looked into LG V 20. It's nice but missing some things that I need and loved. It also offers so really cool features that Samsung never offered.
But I discovered it cannot schedule and text message.
After reading online it seems that Sprint has switched over to the new advanced messaging system. And Android first release of the new messaging app for this system does not include the scheduling of text messages.
So now that everyone understands the real reason for it missing.
Is there a way to schedule text messages.
I haven't tested it through Google Now or Google Home.
But we may need a developer to come out with an app that can provide the until Sprint or Google add it to their message app.
Thank you.
Rob

Textra SMS has scheduled sending. It's a really good messaging app to with. Gif support and all.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have an irritating problem with my v20 and i guess it's the case with every v20, because of the nature of my work, i schedulea message to be sent out at a different time everyday, most of the time the message fails to be delivered and the phone never notifies that the message has failed, any solution to make the phone leave a permanent report that the message has failed until i can dismiss the report manually?
Pay a secretary?
Anyways I can do all the stuff you guys can do with the stock LG Messaging and I'm not even clever.
Also you all have fkd up screens, send em back :silly:
I have Verizon and I don't see "Advanced Messaging" or "Schedule sending". I came from the s7 edge which had this feature, really sucks I don't have it...
