Morning all, got my desire 2 days ago and still trying to get used to it after leaving my HD2. 1 thing i am annoyed at is the apparent inability to turn the notification bar off for sms, received/sent and STILL get a sound/vibrate.
I have found the settings in messages and handcert as i use that as my default sms now.
If i remove the tick from notification bar (in messages menu) and the sound 1 is ticked but then grays out. Nothing is shown or more importantly HEARD even though its ticked but grayed out. I have done the same for the handcert but it seems the notification settings in the messages program override the handcert ones.
Basically i want to have NO notifications on the notification bar but for it to make a sound and vibrate. Can it be done?

You could try duck tape?
Seriously its only fully visable if you pull it down, can't you just ignore it?
no really helpful that, i can ofc course ignore it. but being a non winMo i thought you could edit it so it just never showed up. i'd just prefer not to have to drag the thing down and click clear every time i send/receive a msg.
not asking much for such a customisable phone or so i thought.

If you read the message the notification disappears...
And you can change your whole ''desktop'' except the notification bar as far as I know.
Maybe a rom cooker can edit the android files but out of the box? No you can't change it. Sorry
And many people see the notification tab as a plus, and I do to I really have
a hard time imaging getting annoyed with it so sorry for my first response but it goes in the list of (for example)
1. I hate androids open source way of doing things, wich really is a virtue of android. 2. I hate htc sense (then don't buy it)
thanks for the reply.
I am just slightly annoyed that changing the settings in the original messages settings conflict and over ride the handcert sms ones. gonna try chomp and see if those settings can take priority over the default messages app.

You can set the settings for each program, if you want to turn off notifications, you can do that.
I have turned off notifications from the deafult messaging app and uses hancent's notifications.
If you dont want any og those apps notifications you have to turn them both off

I'm using Ricky's ROM with topbar, and I can't seem to get rid of the unread mail icon near the top left. When I look at the sliding panel that has missed calls, voicemails, unread emails, etc - they all say 0, but the icon won't go away. Something I'm doing wrong?

I get this sometimes as well. If you know what app created the icon (Outlook, TXT message, 3rd party email, etc), then you just need to click on it and then perhaps click on the message again (even if it is read). It *should* disappear after that.
You HAVE unread messages somewhere Double check....
Whenever you reboot your phone or turn it off and on, refresh the screen, whatever, it will not display any numbers or info next to your missed calls or messages. It is something stupid about the system. It doesn't keep track in a good way of missed calls or what not, but then again, I can't think of any phone that does this well. Most phones that have this type of setup where it displays your messages or missed calls in a panel, don't have the ability to save that info once the phone has been rebooted.
I know this happens to me, it's just the way things are. You just have to roll with the punches. Sorry.
If you are running CHomeWeather, when it updates the plugin, it reloads your homescreen, so this might be what's causing you this problem.
Sorry to jump into your thread with a question, but I've just bought my dash, and already enjoying v23.
my question is what is the 'E'? (is it email? how to get rid of it) and anyway to disable to up-down arrow in the top center?

Yes, you did. The "E" is for the Edge network ("G" is for GPRS.) The up/down arrow is for the JOGGR scrolling feature. You can disable it in the JOGGR settings.

it seems to be a threading glitch.
viewing the message sometimes doesnt reset the notification icon.
As stated above, quickly click on the text message feature in the panel and quickly followed by the end key. WOrks for me.
Am new to Android and can't work out how to turn off sound notifications for emails yet retain them for SMS text messages?
I get a lot of emails that aren't urgent (an can read in my own time) but would like to still know immediately when a text comes in...
Cheers
Yeah go into e-mails and then press menu then go to more then settings it's in there. Notification settings, sounds OFF.
In the email applications you can set the ringtone for email notifications to silent? Presumably that allows you to keep SMS notification sounds.
The way i described allows to keep sms sounds.

No problems buddy. I'm loving this little phone so i'be been through that many settings etc. I can never leave them alone.
i just rooted my Evo to 2.2 (thanks Netarchy!!!) and with the updated radio and WiMax... when ever im using the phone and i recieve a text, my text notification will come in as if im not using the phone. what can i do to fix the problem so far i tried everything i can think of
as far as I know, you could have always received texts while in a call.. I know I have...
how is this a problem? and its normal as far as i know.
i dont think the op is talking about how the text comes in while on a call but how when it comes in on froyo whatever sound you have set for a notification plays too
it wasnt like that before.

sorry for the hazy explanation but he's correct. before i rooted to froyo my notification sound was a transformer's notification, and while in call the text would come in as a default notification (titled "little"). now after root everything is set up the same, when i am on a call and a text comes through, the transformer's notification comes in rather the default.
has anyone else notice this phenomenon?

the notification settings are in two different places. you can do the standard menu-settings-sound/notification for default or you can open the messaging app and goto settings/notifications for more customization. each have different options, the one you are talking about is in the messaging app i believe.
I have, it vibrates next to my ear, kinda annoying. just glad i get some kind of notification unlike before

i know about both notifications in the settings/message app. its to the point that i cant even hear what the other person is saying because my text notification comes in when i receive one. never had to worry about that before rooting to froyo.
I don't think it's an issue with rooted vs non rooted. I downloaded froyo on tuesday via update on phone. I have not rooted my copy. If I am on a call, and a text comes in, it plays my text alert music through the ear piece while on my call and I can't hear the person on the phone at all. God help me if it is on speaker phone, it breaks up and such...
menu, settings, sound, volume, uncheck use incoming call volume then slide the notification volume down a bit. Not sure if this will work for you but it seems to have reduced it quite a bit for me.
EXACTLY! wasnt like that before with 2.1 im so happy that im not going crazy about it, any ideas on how to solve it?
anyone with thoughts?
any body???
its become quite annoying, and its definitely a 2.2 vs. 2.1 issue rather than a rooted vs.nonrooted issue, wish i could figure out a way to fix it
theres an app on the market called handcent which solves the problem. downside is that it runs a bit laggy at leas on my phone but better than whats been going on
i use handcent. in the settings, under notification settings, there is an option to notify while in call. i have mine on, because i prefer it. you can disable it, if you wish.
i didn't look through the default messaging app too deeply, because i was getting sick of having dual notifications, so i disabled all of those, and only use handcent's.
whether you would still get notifications in call, without having handcent, is beyond me, only because i'm not going to uninstall handcent and test it. i wish you the best.
alternatively, you could disconnect the phone and notification volumes (menu>settings>sound>general/volume uncheck use ringer volume for notification volume) and slide notification volume all the way down.
if you turn the notification volume down, u wont get any sound while on call or not on a call. how is handcent running for you? in comparison to the default messaging app?

handcent is my preferred messaging application. i haven't tried chompsms, but some people like it.
i like the fact that i can customize handcent to look and act like i choose. in conjunction with adfree, i don't have to look at ads either. best of all worlds.
Hi,
Just moved from the Desire to the Desire HD and there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me. I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, and on the Desire, this was perfect. To see a delivery report, I just held on the message and tapped Delivery report. It would show, Delivered, Failed or Pending. Nice. Non-intrusive.
NOW, on the Desire HD, I've enabled Delivery Reports, BUT, I now get a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.
Does anyone know, cause I can't seem to find out how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification. I hope someone can help, cause in all honesty, this is a deal breaker for me with this phone!
Just moved to DHD fro Desire myself and I cant seem to be able to turn this off..any pointers please.
Thanks in advance.

This is a shame one HTC, if features like this can be taken out if it was already existing in older devices... not to talk of the low Speaker volume...Moving for me seem to be a bad decision.
I have SMS delivery reports turned on but get no notification icon.
This could be because I use SMS Popup app and have turned notifications in the HTC SMS settings (otherwise I would get double notifications).
The main purpose of SMS Popup is to show a pop-up of your SMS (funnily enough!) as you get them, but you can turn that off and just use it to customise your notifications icons and various other tasks. It's very unintrusive and in over 18 months of using it on different phones I've never had a problem with it.
Might be worth a try for you guys...

So... you have delivery reports turned on in HTC's settings right?

I'm pretty much the same. I played around with the Popup part, but don't like it.
In the "Default Notifications" settings in SMS Popup I have the following set:
Show a Popup - OFF
Enable Notifications - ON
Notify on Call - ON
Vibrate - ON (set at 0,350)
Blink LED - ON (Set at "Normal" Blink rate)
I've also turned on Reminders as I tend to miss messages
It's working perfect for me!

Brilliant! It's such a good little app. I originally tried Handcent, Chomp and a few other SMS apps but none were as lightweight, unobstrusive and reliable as SMS Popup. It's so easy to forget you even use it.
Great idea! Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!
Million times TNX for this...
Not ideally working whit sense 3 lock screen, but everything is better then that irritating sound and notification at status bar for report. Why HTC make this idiotic report after that so cool on Desire?? WHY??
Did any of you, or any of developers here on forum try to edit Mms app (Mms.apk)?
I try to find this in it, because if you turn off HTC notification then you no get sms on lock screen. I guess it's in some of these files:
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportAdapter.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportItem.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportActivity.java
Any one have idea how to find this? I use sense 3.0 Mms.apk
Me too, no clue .. sigh
I dont want to use that popup app, I chose android because of the notification system. How come there is still no fix to this annoying issue?
I am using WidgetLocker along with Go SMS Pro. I really like the popup feature, but I dont want it to popup when I am on my Lockscreen in WidgetLocker.
I causes me to miss out on some sms because when WidgetLocker locks my screen again after the popup GO SMS think it is because I have read the sms, and then it removes all notifications of ever receiving a new sms.
When using stock lockscreen the popup is visible after unlocking my screen, but not i WidgetLocker. Any solution to get this working? It works find with Handcent, so I guess this has something to do with GO

Go into WidgetLocker settings, and then Popups. Click the box that says "Hide SMS Popups" and see how that works. If it doesn't work, you might have to figure out the package name of the GO SMS alert and do "Hide other".
Hide sms popup doesn't work, go sms seems to override it.
Under "hide others" I got rid of the popup, but it also removes all kinds of notifications from GO SMS. I used com.jb.gosms
This is a bug in GoSMS. GoSMS is prematurely dismissing the notification when their activity is paused, even if the activity is paused by the system like during an incoming phone call or when WidgetLocker takes over. The Android API provides onUserLeaveHint specifically for an activity to use to know if it should dismiss the notification or not, however GoSMS does not use this.
I've contacted them multiple times about this issue and received no response.
A user has reported a work around, though it's suboptimal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13407339&postcount=1195
The work around with gosms/WL to make the led blink on new messages is to always have an unread text. Use whatever means you want, sent yourself a text; I use something simple, "DO NOT ERASE". Upon receipt, do not open, or if you have popups enabled, press 'to do', which leaves it marked unread. Now, for any new texts received, the led will always blink.

how about just putting the gosms widget on the widgetlocker lock screen? That way the last message received will always be there.
I am not interested in having a sms widget on my lock screen.
Regarding the "fix", my phone dont have a notification Led. It this wont be sorted out soon I guess I have to look for a different SMS app, even though I think GO SMS is the best one (except from this bug).
Have you tried Noled? I haven't tried it with GoSMS as I use Handcent but I don't think Go will overide it's notification once activated.
Rather than start a new thread, thought I'd ask if anyone else was able to hear their notification sound when receiving a message as I haven't

I'd say give his suggestion a try anyway. Even though the phone doesn't have a physical LED, the OS itself still supports it, and that might be more important than anything. It's very possible that it'll still work.
gosms released an update yesterday which supposedly fixes this problem.
Hmm, no update in marked for Go sms as I can see
That's weird mine updated and is working fine now
The update showed up today. It is better now, but the popup still gets on top of WidgetLocker, but now it dont remove the notifications when the screen get locked again.
Only thing missing now is "quick compose"
