Hi,
I'm on a international i9300 with MS Team HD 12.1 rom, so using Android 4.2.2. Also use GO SMS
My issue is that sometimes when I receive a text, I get the notification as usual but the notification does not appear on the notification bar, and the text is not added to any conversation. When I launch my sms app, go sms, sometimes it does then get "processed" as usual so I receive the text. However sometimes the text is lost which is nuisance obviously.
I believe on the stock rom I was having no issues with a similar combination of apps (more to follow on this) but have done with both HD 12.0 and 12.1
I initially though it was an issue with the lightflow app, which received the notification and was holding it in some way, however I have now disabled that and believe the issue is still present. Therefore I now believe it is either the go sms app itself, or possibly a UCCW widget I have which shows the number of unread sms messages that could be "holding" the message. I'm not really able to troubleshoot this fully as I don't have another phone to text myself.
If anybody is familiar with lightflow's debugging logs I'd be willing to send them, and just to note, the debugger widget does show that the SMS notification is on, even when the text has not been "processed". My led will stop blinking once any conversation has been loaded on go sms.
Is anyone able to shed my some light on this?
Cheers

if you have too many messages, sometimes this might happen. if that is not true, try re-flashing the rom by fully wiping before and after the installation. backup if you'd like to.

Well I had around 9K messages, and a few thousand were from a mistake when backing up leading to duplicates, so that would tie-in with the timing of changing roms, so hopefully that is the issue and I'll start clean and see what happens!
Many thanks

I have Google Voice integration set up via Sprint (and I'm using the default text message handler).
For some reason when I have a conversation actually open on the screen I can get a text message (sound and vibration), and the message bar at the top will preview it, but it's not showing in the actual conversation.
I've missed several MMS this way (as well as normal texts).

yea, if i read your post right, it sounds like the same bug i've been experiecing. def an odd bug in the htc sense messaging app they provide as stock software. i'm also using gv thru sprint integration. usually hitting the back arrow to exit the conversation and move back to the sms inbox then allows the new message to populate.
because of this bug i've now developer the habiting of exiting all conversations and going back to the inbox before turning the screen off or switching programs.
if you're experiencing a different bug, could you perhaps provide more detail?
Pretty much the exact same thing except it never comes back, even if I hit back and go back into it.
I'll give another messaging app a try.

oh how odd the message doesn't appear when you exit the conversation..
perhaps there is an issue with the sms-mms database the app is using. the only easy solution there would be to wipe the database it is using and start fresh. i don't think there are any tools for analyzing the sms-mms database used by the htc messaging app as the sms-mms databased used by the aosp messaging app is different.
if wiping the database doesnt clear the issue, then it would appear most definitely to be a htc messaging app bug.
also, the nice option with google voice is you can check the gv app on your device to see whether or not the actual message came all the way through. if it appears in gv, but not in htc stock messaging app, thats def a bad sign for the htc messaging app (assuming you have good cell signal).
perhaps one of the developers might be encouraged to take a look into the app and see if its a bug they're able to fix through decompiling and recompiling the app.
Handcent seems to have fixed the issue.
I wouldn't be able to check Google Voice since the issue seems to have been most prevalent on MMS messages.
I've had lots of issues with Google Voice integration. I would randomly stop getting text messages for 1-2 hours at a time, every 2-3 days. If I checked Google Voice the messages were there, but they never came in on my phone. I could send messages to other carriers just fine. I couldn't get their messages though. Sprint was no go both ways.
After I deactivated Google Voice, the issue went away. Sucks, I'd love to use the application.
Kinda annoying feature. Anyone know how to disable the screen turning on when getting a text?

Mine doesn't do that are you running a stock rom, and what carrier?
Mine doesn't do that either on Sprint.
Yea mine doesn't do that although I wish it did like my og EVO did

I'm on stock Rom. But every ttime I get a text, my screen lights up for about 3 seconds

Since you didn't answer the question of which carrier, I am going with that its Sprint from the model number in your signature.
My girlfriend's S3 is also doing this on her AT&T variant. I haven't been able to find an answer.
I have an AT&T one and it won't do it for email or text and I really would like it to. Must be a setting. Someone has to know.
You have to change the stock app. Stock messaging app is bad anyways. Look into GO SMS Pro or another app of your choice. The app has what your looking for then disable your stock messaging app.
For email just use the Gmail client. This also has the option for it.
Its all about the apps folks. I don't think the stock app has a way to have the screen to just remain off.
I think he is using blazer Rom from phantomhacker cause I also notice it. Sprint version btw.

Workaround
Found a quick fix to this that is way better than defaulting to another SMS app. Simply download "SMS pop up" from the play store, make sure its enabled, and under additional preferences untick "screen on pop up" and then under notification settings untick "enable pop up" (unless you want the pop up of course). You will have to untick the regular SMS app notifications under settings but its a fix that's working for me that still keeps the stock messaging app intact.

That will stop the screen from waking every time but won't turning notifications off in sms settings also prevent the phone the phone from letting you know at all that you have a message?
that is a nice woorkaround but too bad we have to use double the battery and 2 apps running at once to stop it. There has go to be a solution !
I made a thread about this yesterday. It happens to me everytime. On vzw
I'm running ATT variant and my screen wakes up when I get a text. Im currently rooted and looking through the messaging defaults with root explorer. Im sure theres a setting in there that is set to 1 or true that is doing this or vice versa for everyone else. I havent had an android device for quite some time so it might take me a bit to find it. If someone is a bit more experienced than me they'll probably find it faster.

Following what I wrote: If you disable the stock sms notifications under messaging>setting then the phone will not recieve any notifications regarding new messages. This is why SMS Popup is used instead. It uses a notifications service in conjunction with an optional popup to notify you when a new message arrives. If you enable notifications in SMS Popup, you will still receive notifications when new messages arive. SMS Popup is the service that will receive and notify you of the message, not the stock messaging app. It also has some other features including color customization of the LED light and selecting a specific SMS vibrate pattern. Like I said if you disable the "Enable popup" setting under the "notification" menu in SMS Popup it can serve as a intermittent workaround. As for the need to install it to accomplish this simple setting, it has a low battery and memory footprint as it is mostly a simple service and not a fully effective SMS replacement application. I have spent countless hours trying different solutions to this issue and this seems to be the best most effective workaround I could find whilst dodging SMS replacement apps like handscent and chomp. It was imperative for me to not have my screen light up in my pocket as I choose to go without a lock screen. Hope this helps and is a worthy solution until some development ushers in a new more efficient solution. Cheers!
There's got to be a way using root privileges to stop this. Heck we can stop the annoying wifi pop ups.
Thanks srath16 for finding a hackish way around.

I completely understand now. That's. Cool. There got to be a more in house way of doing this, but that would work in the meantime. Thanks for sharing.
This happens to me also and im running on Verizon at the moment would love if someone could find a way to fix this.

Right. This isn't an "issue", it's just a feature that Samsung has deployed that some like and some don't. Being able to turn it on and off though would be nice.
I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...
Ok so am I the only one with this issue..?!?!
I like to use Emoji's so I tend to try out alternative text messaging apps and so far I've tried Handcent, GOSMS, Chomp, etc and they all do this.. When I go to send a text to someone, it goes to SOMEONE ELSE..!! And sometimes it will only say it went to someone else but it really went to the person who was supposed to get the text in the first place.. This can get very annoying, especially if a text for baby momma goes to new girlfriend, no bueno..!! Anyone have any luck with this..?? Also, I'm on MeanROM's latest release..
Try the usual, clear app data restart, clear data for all sms, you can back up the messages and restore after you see whether it helps or not. I haven't had this issue at all with any rom but there was a bug in Android that was fixed 2-3 releases ago. Closest thing i can think of would be that, but like I said it's supposed to have been fixed

u mean goto settings/apps/messages and clear data right..?
Yes, it's worth a try
hmm, it would only let me clear cache..?? my sms messages still remained inbox..
Odd, you should always be able to clear data, do you have any texts locked. I don't think it would affect the ability to clear data from app settings but it is supposed to keep you from deleteing messages

nope, nothing is hidden/locked, etc.. it's a plain setup of meanrom out of the box.. only thing i've added is nova launcher..
Oh you mean stock then, I meant what ever app you use instead of stick lol
lol well yah I am stock now because the ghost messaging thing lured me into deletion of all third party apps hahaha..!!
FINALLY! Someone with the same freaking issue I have! I blame it on Sense since it handles the messaging.
Here's what happens:
Use Chomp or Go for text, text normally throughout the day. DELETE messages from people and randomly the next incoming text you receive *appears* to come from the person you whose texts you last deleted. If you don't pay attention and reply to the text, it will go to the WRONG person. For me, it happend to be in response to friends Facebook status updates since I USED to have Facebook text me when certain people updated their status. I quit using that Facebook feature when I texted my wife all the dirty and nasty things I was going to do to my wife when I got home from work, that I thought was going to her, went in reply to my friends status update. Yeah, that really happened.....and I didn't catch it.
If you use the stock app, the same thing happens, but with a slight difference.......
You can see the text come in as the last message you deleted, but it very rapidly changes to the contact it should be. You have to be holding your phone and looking at it in order to notice it.
When I use Chomp or Go, the SMS I'll get an SMS and it will stay as the wrong person until I kill and restart the app. So any texts I respond to go to the wrong person.
This has happened to me on all stock versions. I recently rooted and went to Meanrom and STILL get it. I switched to Handcent since they claim better integration with Sense and have not experienced the problem.
I have a topic in on the Sprint forums about this. I'd link to it but they're down right now. Look in there, it's near the top. Reply to it or start a new topic. This is indeed a BUG that needs fixed.
I think it's going relatively unnoticed because people blame Chomp or Go for the problem...........
I also faced the similar problem few months ago but I figured out the problem. basically the problem arise due to any draft msg or msg that havnt been sent and that msg is not visible in sms apps. to solve the problem try installing my phone explorer and then watchout for any sms that is in category other than recieved and sent, just delete that sms, restart phone and voilla problem solved...)
Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
Unfortunately for you, everything you listed works fine on my DNA. It displays a notification on the icon, when you send a message it shows a pending thing in the messaging app till its sent, it previews the text messages on the lockscreen so you may read them and you can open directly to it.
If none of that works for you, try clearing your app data or even resetting your phone.

The HTC messaging app doesn't have the check marks or the bubble skin, thats just something that you will have to deal with until we get a custom ROM that has those options. For the notification issues, go for a full reset, return it and get a new one (cause something is obviously wrong), or install a good custom rom like Venom or UKB.
As for your issue with iCal not syncing, I used "SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar", it's not free ($1.99 I think) but it worked great for me. Just be sure to link your iCal with your iClould.
I use gosms and have no issues. I uninstall the stock messaging app though. Even before when I couldn't delete it. Never had any issues. I'd do a factory reset then mess with the setting in the messaging apps
