Disable SMS Text Notification?

I did a search but couldn't find any topics, hope this hasn't been covered before.
Recently I've lost two girlfriends (one after the other) because of texts that should not be on my phone. I'm starting to get slightly annoyed with the repetition. I probably don't deserve help on this...
Obviously I could lock my phone with a code, but this raises suspicion. So what would be great is if I could edit the reg to disable any SMS notification at all (and perhaps rely on the HTC Home to show when I have new SMSs). Is there a reg edit for this?
Alternatively, is there a reg edit to stop the notification from showing who it's from and the first few lines?
Failing both of those are there any other suggestions, other than flight mode, that I could stop untimely texts from being seen by prying eyes?

Karma, my friend, karma....

You need a Bat phone aka 2nd SIM and only give out the number on that one.
Delete all incriminating txts from inbox as well as sent items, my mate got found out from his sent items. He has the bruises to prove it.
Remember, Hell hath no fury like a Woman scorned.

Instead of trying to make seem like you aren't unfaithful/don't care about the girls/flirt etc... Have you considered just stop sending the txts?

If you're getting messages that aren't supposed to be on your phone, call your provider. If you are trying to weasel out of the consequences of something you did ... suck it up.
I wouldn't date you either.

WOW! I didn't realize that your request for a registry edit would turn into a morality session.

Thanks all, really appreciate the replies, i love this place. GSLEON3 thanks for the app, it seems perfect, and am testing now.

It's not the sending that's the problem, it's the replies! I'm not trying to excuse my behaviour, but it's not always that simple. That is to say that jealousy can blind the reader sometimes.

i guess your having problems with the girl actually going through your phone and seeing who sends the txts? if its just the pop up box you get when u get a new msg you can go into sounds and notifications and turn it off. i have been using palm threaded app for a while now and it has a privacy mode, it will give you the pop up box, but wont say what it says or who from. best thing i can advise to you is to just delete your txt msgs, its the easiest and only fail safe way. oh and make sure you delete them out of the deleted folder, hehe.

Thanks Cashin. I know deleting is the easiest and cheapest way, but doing that is actually quite laborious, as you have to remember Inbox, Sent Items & Deteted Items. Also, I don't like to guard my phone 24/7, I like it to sit on the bed side table sometimes without being paranoid about the bright screen powering up with an sms.
I've trialled SecretSMS for an afternoon and it's perfect, so I purchased it. For predefined contacts, the light still powers up when you recieve a text, but no other notification, and a password protected inbox/sent items. Great stuff.

no sms in Inbox on incoming sms. please help

Hello everyone and thanks for the great forum.
sorry if I'm repeating someone elses question but the search proved fruitless.
My Kaiser receives an sms but gives no notification of it nor does it show in Inbox until after exactly 60min. (got this far now after sending myself one).
Then it will notify me according to my notification settings and the arrival time shown is 60 minutes earlier (sometimes less).
I know that I have received one because it comes out of standby and the clock shows that it is working on something. It just cannot get at it which can be really annoying.
I have lots of stuff on the Kaiser and do not want to hard reset yet. Surely the sms should at least show in the inbox?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Spec:
Kaiser originally locked on Orange UK now on o2 Germany.
HTC WM6.1 3.02.405.0 WWE
Radio 1.58.26.20
Software:
ilauncher, spb stuff, Kaisertweak, Pocket informant, Theft alert, Resco stuff, couple of SatNavs, Net CF 3.5, ip-dashboard, lots lots more
phoneweaver and other notification progs that took hours and hours to set up with profiles.
Mortbuttons with piles of shortcuts and menus.
UPDATE 11.12.2008
Changed the ROM and Radio to the following:
Hard SPL 3.56
ROM from BBR HTC 2.0 based on HTC 3.34.00.00
Radio 1.70.19.09
Anyone have any ideas as to what I could try next?
Thanks a bundle

bumping this thread up.

Hmm, theft alert.. doesn't that one mess with SMS? Most of these progs have features to silently activate them via SMS, and in order to do that it means they must intercept the messages before the system grabs them, evaluating them and forwarding them to the system if they are not trigger messages. The program could screw up and not forward the messages to the system correctly.
I'd try uninstalling that one, and if it doesn't help I'd go on with all others that would somehow be related to messaging.

THANK YOU KILRAH !
That sorted it. I honestly don't know why I didn't try that myself but sometimes it takes someone ike yourself to suggest it and I didn¨t suspect UTA at all. As soon as I uninstalled Ultimate theft alert and did a soft reset it started working.
A clear sign was the error message I got when I received the first sms after the soft reset:
"utamon.exe
InvalidProgramException"
and lots more...
Another soft reset and everything was fine. Should maybe have done a registry search to delete the rest but as long as everything is working I'll leave it.
Thanks again for your suggestion. It helped an awful lot !!

Glad to hear it works!

text messaging issues... maybe

I've had my Kaiser (tilt blah) for about 3 months now, and most of my issues I've solved off this forum through .cab downloads, or just becoming unretarted, but I have some questions about the default text program that I havent been able to answer myself... Everytime you send a message, you get a "message sent" notification that interrupts pretty much everything you're doing after your message. Is there a way to turn it off? Maybe just have a sound confirming it was sent? The other thing is sometimes when I text, the text input box at the bottom of the screen doesn't scroll with the words, making it impossible to see what you're typing or if you made any mistakes. Is it my phone? Or has someone created a patch so fix such things? (both). And that guy that said WM for this phone sucks it a waste of life. This is the best OS for a phone. Just may ned some encouragement from time to time, but It doesnt suck.

Nothing new in the new official HTC ROM???

Everything is quiet like the grave... I haven't heard or read a single word if there is anything new in this rom except the tiny bug fixes announced by HTC...
Anybody who already upgraded, have you noticed something new???

Hey
Apart from the official line heres what ive noticed (in twelve hours)
1. Sliding Bar answer on incoming calls
2. Text input keys are smaller so that you can actually see whats on the screen when youre writing (sic)
3. Ever so slight speed improvement on finger sliding
4. Video Call re-replaced with contacts (life saver)
5. Might just be me but the fonts seem sharper and slightly smaller.
6. Add a word in text messaging for example now gives a tick and a cross instead of "add"
Just random little things Ive noticed but as they say, its the little things that count eh!

no more flipping envelope when going to mail it's just there...
and some speed improvements, but in winmo only (not touchflo).

hey just a couple more
7. When connecting to PC via USB you get a 3rd choice - internet sharing (as well as active sync and disk drive)
8. HTC flo text message section now has a forward option as well as reply and delete - no need to view all messages to forward
ill keep you posted (or not if no one is interested)

Thanks for the replies
I feel like the Sliding Bar on answering calls helped me decide to upgrade, even though I'll loose the flipping envelopes

Sliding Bar is good
Ability to forward text message from Touch flo is good
The rest are the icing on the cake!!!
Good luck - I had a bit of a scare with my upgrade last night - it stopped on 60% and told me the image file was corrupt. Worked second time though from the same file???

First bug: if you have activated a security PIN (like me) you can't block the phone keeping pressed the phone down button. The screen goes black for a fraction of second but the phone doesn't block.
Another thing I didn't notice before (so I'm not sure if it was the same in previous versions): you can add only 15 persons to your favorite contacts (the "Add to Favorites" buttons just disappears). BTW, is there any tweak to increase this limit?

its always been 15
I use speed dials - easier and possibly limited to 100 (not sure)
The favourites has always annoyed me - you cant seem to change the order in which they appear and they look boring without a picture (IMO)!

There's also a new Java engine, better than the old one. At least better for Opera Mini 4.2, fonts are now bigger and easier to read.
A recommended update.

My envelopes are flipping fine.... just as they always have!
And for anyone's who's interested; if you've been using any of the cooked ROM's which have been released recently, you won't notice any difference with this official release because the ROM cookers have been using v2.03 for weeks!

9. Agenda from home screen works correct now. Choose the view u'd like to see, (day, week, month whatever) and it will open up correctly right now, when opening Agenda from home screen.
10. When u select agenda or calls on the home screen, it will be selected by green. When u finished looking agenda or calls, and return to the home screen, the green selected option is gone, a clear screen with no green. (before the thing was always green when u turned back, it frustrated me )
Just 2 things i recognized!

I saw it at Singapore web site http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=44

They do indeed, but thanks to Facebook I have pictures for all of my favorite friends...
I'll give a look to speed dial too

with this new rom, i have a problem:
when i receive a message and open it with tf3d i can't type prompt.
i have to move down the text to see the last message and then i have to put the cursor on the correct place.

Its a rom update but is it aswell a radio update?

Noobie question,
As The HTC website won't accept my Orange UK Diamond S/N, would it be okay to download from another source, or do I have to wait until Orange to approve the newer ROM, and publish on their website confused
many thanks

As far I now Orange use a own brand rom and when you start using a other rom you will lose your waranty, ofcoarse you can get a other rom just ask someone here to upload it, but you can use than aswell a coocked rom.

Yeah, correct. Orange will distribute their own ROM's.
11. AKU version has been updated to allow synchronisation to two PC's (fixing the Activesync error 0x86000107).

Hey
A little bug that I found last night - I installed nadavvi-nadavvi-call-history cab - which installs an extra call history tab to the touchflo menu
Afterwards everytime i tried to access sms through touchflo i kept getting unexpected errors in manila.exe.
As soon as i uninstalled the call history tab sms started working again. Shame as i had this installed with the older rom with no probs and it is quite handy.

I've decided to do the upgrade tonight but I have a question:
All my apps are installed in the 4GB Internal Storage (Not the phone memory). Will the Internal Storage be viped out aswell during the upgrade?
If not, I guess all apps will be useless anyway since the registry is viped. Do you recommend uninstalling all the apps before the rom upgrade???

ExactCallLog v1.4 is Horriable, v1.3 is the Way!!!

Hey everybody whatz going,
ExactCallLog is a very good app or USED to be a good app. It was
Essentially a must have for the G1 cuz it completely gets rid of the
2 hours ago, 6 Hours ago crap on the orginal G1 callLog.
Anyway the Version 1.3 or more specificly v1.37....was the last update
Before the new one. It was fully working & stable. I wish I backed it up
On my SD Card using ASTRO file manager. Now its lost & I can't get it back.
The New v1.4 Update almost crashed my phone. I need the v1.3 or v1.37 Version
badly if anybody has the old version & hasent yet upgraded to the new version.
Please please please send me the ExactCallLog v1.3 or v1.37 .apk File & ill post it here
On the Forum for everybody to have. I have spoke wit the developer & he said
That the problems don't exist on his phone. So the new UI is here to stay & it
Really really sucks. V1.3's UI was ten times better.
If u don't know how to get the .apk. All u have to do is Download the File Manager
App Called "ASTRO". In the ASTRO app. They have a "Application Manager".
The "Application Manager" allows you to install or Uninstall any app but most
Importantly, it allows you to backUp whateva program u want on the SD Card as
a .apk File. That u can install wheneva u want.
Use "ASTRO" to back up the "ExactCallLog v1.37.apk" File & email it to me at:
[email protected] & ill post it up on he forum for everybody to have.
through a RapidShare link or something like that.
Thanks Again, In advance.
I hope this post will help a lot of people who have the Exact same problem
In the future.

I just wanted to say that the v1.37 is better cause the UI was perfect &
Was completely free of all bugs & was quick with no lag time.
Ill take either but v1.37 was better than v1.3
OUT!!

I know what you mean, I completely uninstalled it after 1.4 was out. It was lagging like crazy and slowing my phone. Unfortunately I don't have older versions.
-Gus

heres version 1.3.4 the apk is IN the zip hope it works for you guys

Yeah I know all of my friend who was using the New Version
Of ExactCallLog have completely uninstalled it. The developer
Just thinks its Lagging. He dosent realize that its not just slow
There's a TON of other problems wit it. He dosent experience the
Crashes on his phone. So he can't Bug Test meaning we won't get
No update soon....until he feels he wants to add something extra
Hopefully he'll read all the comments & make an update soon but he
hasnt said that he would on the email he sent me.

I Appreaciate that alot "haitiankid4lyf"
Hey this is perfect!! This is Exactly what I needed. This ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 is perfect in everyway. I hope everyone who wants it comes to this Forum to get it. Cuz this is Really a must have app on the G1. Im soory thatthe developers like the NEW UI but for everyone who loves the Old UIwith absolutly NO BUGZ here it is.
I won't post the "ZIP" again since u already have the Zipped .APK File in the Forum post above me.
This will be used until the death of the G1 unless the CUPCAKE Update really really improves the Default Factory CALLLOG.
In the Factory Call Log. U Cant do nothing!!
*U CANT:
-Erase 1 call entry without erasing the whole List
-Veiw only the "missed calls"or "Outgoing Calls" or "Incoming Calls"
-See the exact time that people called (Only See 3, 4, 6 "Hours Ago")
-See the Day, Month or Year of old calls from 5 days ago
(ExactCallLog shows Exact Time, Day, Month, & Year Of Call)
PLUS: ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 has a Very Very Amazing feature that allows you to erase all missed, outgoing or incoming calls that come from the same person.
Example:
Long Press on a "Missed" call (Ex: "JOHN (301) 589-3704") in ExactCallLog. When the Options MENU comes up scroll all the way down to the "REMOVE ALL INSTANCES" option & select it. It will erase all Numbers that have the Name JOHN (301) 589-3704. Very Cool. But it will only erase the missed calls from JOHN not the incomming or outgoing. unless u slect JOHN's incoming or outgoing calls specific. It can erase all incoming from John at once or all outgoing from JOHN at once.
Everyone who dosent have it Or lost it like me when they upgraded to Version 1.4
can enjoy this v1.3.4 ExactCallLog App.
Thanks Again haitiankid4lyf". This App shouldve been included wit the G1.
OUT!

But it has a problemd with the notification, when I have a missed call, the notification wont go away unless I view it in the stock call log, annoying!
-Gus

u just hit the "CLEAR NOTIFICATIONS" button on the top right corner. and avoid visit's the stock G1 CallLog. Period.
I never ever use the G1's calllog now

Yes thats true, but if you later receive another missed call, the notification will tell you that you have 2 missed calls, so it will forever keep adding up until you visit the damn thing. He should fix this in version 1.37 though, right?
