Get rid of SMS notification on top status bar - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get a text and I dragged my finger down, choose it, read it. I go back to home and I see a indicator on my messages icon saying one unread. I have to click on messages and then it clears when I go back home.
Is there a way to not make it show up on the notification bar when I get a new text? It's annoying that it doesn't register that I've read it when I check through the notification bar.

Go into the messaging app and press the menu button. Scroll down and unselect incoming notification.

Thanks man. It was getting really annoying.

Unread mail icon in topbar

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.

notifications n reminders ring, but on screen notification tells me what it is

when i click on the bell, it shows 2 reminders , option to either dismiss all or close. theres no snooze or anyway to see what the 2 reminders are. anyone else expieriencing this?
Have you tried tapping the area where it says you have 2 reminders? That should take you to the app that's trying to give you the reminders (most likely it's a calendar appointment that you set)..
i did, n nothing happens. on my old touch pro it popped up when i hit the notifications button. i had a dropped call earlier so i have a ! n when i click dismiss all, its still there. i dont understand it.
btw, i have sprint w the touch pro 2
To get rid of missed call "!" icon just hit the green send to bring up list. If I hit the top bar when I have a reminder it then pops up with what it is an dismiss or snooze option. Sounds to simple so maybe I misunderstand you.

Email Notification Tweak?

Im looking for a way to change where I am directed when tapping a New Email notification.
When I get an email, I am notified on the top status bar with an envelope icon. When I tap it, the notification screen comes down and says that I have new mail. When I tap that I am sent to the TF3D Mail Tab... WTF is the point of that?
Is there any way to edit the reg so that I am pointed directly to the new email when I tap from within the notification screen??
why don't you just tap on the email tab, and notification will be gone?

well thats my point- why would anybody tap the notification bar and tap the new message notification just to get to the Mail tab? I'm not trying to make the notification go away, I want tapping the new mail notification to take me to the new mail- not the tab that has my 3 different email accounts.

Sent Text Message Indicator won't Disappear

After the Gingerbread update, my Sent Message Indicator won't disappear after I press on 'Message Sent.'
I send a Text Message.
I get a sent message icon in top tray.
I get a 'Message Sent' notification.
I press on Message Sent notification but Icon in tray is still there.
I then have to Reboot, and the Message Indicator is gone??
Funny thing is when I receive a New Message, and I get New Message Notification with the Icon, I click on the New Message notification read the text message and the icon goes away.
So >>
- Sent Message needs a reboot to make icon disappear.
- New Message icon disappears as before.
On a side note, I was getting a Voice mail Icon in top tray also, and '3 New Messages' in the notification menu every couple of hours. That seems to have dissipated today, although I did get the voice mail message once.
Any ideas??

Calendar notification in JB???

Hi all, I noticed that in the JB ROM I just installed when I get a calendar reminder and i look at it in the notification bar there is a button to "Snooze" but nothing to Dismiss. I know in ICS if I clicked on it I would get a button that said Dismiss or Snooze. Anyone know how I can get it to say both Dismiss or Snooze, or if I click on it how to get those buttons to show up?
Thanks.
That is annoying. Not sure why the dismiss button would be dropped??
Just swipe it away.
