I have noticed that the people edge notifications for text messages (from your 5 favories) do not illuminate the phones edge if you are using hangouts as your default SMS application. It appears that the edge features are only available if you use Samsung's default Messaging application. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I much prefer Hangouts to handle my SMS + Google chat and don't really want to use two separate apps.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'd really like to know if there's any chance of this happening as well. I use a different text messaging app than Samsung's now and it would be nice to be able to get the Edge notification for texts while it's my default app...

Hi guys
I've installed Yahoo Mail for my email and Go Sms Pro for my texts. When i get a text or email, i don't get double notifications in the notification bar, however, i really miss the little bubble indicator in the top right hand corner of the stock email & sms apps that let you know how many missed messages you have (i prefer this to the notification bar).
Does anyone know if it's possible to get these on anything other than Samsung's own crappy versions?

No it is Samsung's. The stock Android apps are far different and don't feature notifications.
You could use something like ADWLauncher which will allow it on certain apps.
Well I have K-9 as my email app and I also have Go Launcher which has a plugin for notifications and it does show the email count for K-9 so you could give that a go.

Hi,
with stock SGS 3 messaging app when I receive sms, on my lockscreen there is an envelope on which I can "click" and unlock directly to messaging app. I find go sms pro better than stock messaging app but with this app I'm missing the envelope on lock screen after receiving sms. Does anybody know how to make envelope on lock screen work with go sms pro?
Impossible

Seconded. The lockscreen notifications will only work with the stock messaging application. You may be able to cobble something together using WidgetLocker though - it allows similar functionality, but I don't know if they've managed to get it working with GMail yet.
You could disable GoSms' function to suppres the stock SMS notification, but a) you'd get TWO SMS notifications then, and b) clicking that envelope would get you to the stock SMS app, still.
Personally, I am using LockMenu and have one of the unlocking sliders configured to launch GoSms.
That in combination with GoSms' "New SMS popup" works very well for me.
That's a pity. Anyway, thx guys for workarounds!
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?
no one?
I love the feature of having my top 5 on the edge bar, but I do not use stock email or stock text. Is there any way to set Inbox and Google Voice as the default messaging programs for the Edge Bar?
I absolutely love Textra and have grown quite attached to the interface and the pop-up notifications that are built in. I do however have one issue that I cannot seem to crack.
With pop up notifications enabled for both screen on and screen off I get the nice built textra pop-up window for both. This works fantastic with the screen on but with the screen off I receive both the textra pop-up and the system notification (default that links to textra). The only way I have been able to alevoage this is to shut off the textra notifications on the lock screen. This leaves me stuck with the more limited default pop-up. What I would like to be able to do is shut off the system notifications instead of textra.
I have always already blocked all "messages " (stock app) notifications and frozen the app.
Device is Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

You won't be able to on a stock based roms. 5.0 doesn't have that option. It's either all notifications on the lockscreen or none.
