Hi
just wondering if anyone could point me to some good missed call/sms/email notifications? I tried noled but find that it kills my battery.
Ideally i would like either of the following>
Either something showing like
o missed calls
3 missed sms
5 unread email
or
a email logo with like 5 in a small circle (depicting missed email)
a sms logo with like 3 in a small circle (depicting missed sms)
etc
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Try with "Missed it!"
I didnt manage to get work the Google Talk notifications just the Mail, SMS and Emails...

this program isnt bad at all
you also could try those home programs like ADWlauncher etc as you can customize them accordingly
Just a shame that Missed it only works with google email as i have just found out

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

I like this. But do you need to let VITO SMS-CHAT running in the background for this new sms popup to be displayed? Is there a way to make this the default Windows Mobile SMS App?

The threaded sms reader that comes with PocketCM Contact is the best looking that i've seen (once you install the Dark Diamond II - 0.3 skin). And it's free!

I use this app, and you don't need to open it for the notification to come up. Just install it and turn off your normal SMS alerts, and it's your default. It's a really, really great program for threaded SMS. It even lets you export all chats into a word file. I just wish they'd come up with some better skins.

Thanks! The TF3D theme is from Lagunadub which is a proper theme. The task bar and bottom bar are Wisbar Advance 3 and I'm using a compilation of a couple different skinners work for that look. I can't take credit for any of it other than customizing it to my likings.

Agreed. What I originally started looking for was a program that had a nicer notification than that of the stock windows notification. I really liked how Vito SMS Chat looked and I've been very happy with it!
now aint this sad, i'd use vito smschat for all features NOW except well.. the threaded sms

I've installed SMS-Chat on a LG Incite and it freezes when trying to use, but if my phone is connected to the computer it works fine. Also, how do you turn off normal SMS alerts. Please help.
For me, the default TF3D threaded sms is just fine.... Can't be bothered to pay for a sms application ffs...!!!

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

OK, got ChompSMS and now can uninstall SMSPopup as Chomp pretty much does the same thing. Great app.
So out of the blue I received a text message and got the standard notification from the sms app, but I also got a second notification I hadn't received before. Its the envelope icon from cupcake I believe, and it alers of unread messages and links to the standard sms app just like the black smiley icon does. Thing is, it doesn't go away after replying or reading and I find it really annoying. Tried installing and uninstalling handcent and chompsms hoping for a fix and nothing. Also defaulted the stock sms app to no desired results.
Anyone know how to stop/remove this?

If you have installed any app for sms "like handcent", then you will have to go to the settings of either one you dont want and turnf off the alerts. That way only one will notify you
Yup. You gotta go into your stock messenger and menu then uncheck notifications.

That's the thing, even by disabling all other notifications, it still shows up. And its I'm using hancent at the moment, that notification shows as well as the second one (which links to the stock android sms app)
Here's how its set up regarding notifications:
Stock sms app: all notifications off
Hancent sms: green smiley notification set up
And still this mysterious second notification linking to the stock sms app still appears.
I had that same problem on my device too. I had to do a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Make sure you back up your apps before doing it.
Aparently that notification its not from stock. Maybe something else you have elsewhere. See if you can identify the icon and that way maybe you can tell what it is.

worked for me. Nexus S
Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.

You can't with the default Messaging app.
Your only options are:-
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility and switch on 'Message / call voice notifications.
or
2. Install a different Text app and make it default.
Textra offers individual notifications both with sounds and individual coloured icons in the notification bar.

It does use specific tone for individual contacts...... I know because I am using it in this way myself.
What you must do is after launching Textra PRESS & HOLD on one of your contacts and you will notice a 'Tick' has appeared over all the contacts with the one you selected highlighted.
Next, go to the top right and tap on the three dots and select Notifications. Now you can alter to your hearts content for that individual.
