Different SMS Icons - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just an easy question about two different SMS-icons. i don't know what is the difference and i don't know, what they mean?
Icon 1. Attachment
Icon 2. Attachment
Thanks!

Let's see,
Well the first one is the symbol for a message stil being sent, as if you sent it with no reception or very poor reception.
However, the second, i cant see to well becuse of the red arrows, but my guess would be it is the symbol of an unsent message as if you sent it with no signal and if gave up trying to resend because of the lack of signal. Is it the shape of a triangle, because if it is in fact, then it is the symbol of an unsent message.
Anyone correct me if i am wrong, but i dont think there is any change from the g1 symbols

Thanks for your answer!
...but the crazy thing is, that the icons don't fit with the delivery reports. Because they say, that the SMSs have been deliverd. I also asked the recipent, if the she gets the SMS. Her answer was yes....so all my SMS have been delivered. just the icon don't match up with the status Very strange!....

I could be wrong, but I believe the one with the arrow pointing out means it was sent. Then it disappears after a few seconds?

No...the arrow doesnt disappear.....the SMS, which are shown in the pictures, are sent by yesterday. No disappearing after few seconds....

I've never seen the one with the blue arrow. Did you forward those messages to someone else?

Noo....no forwarding.
All my SMS have this icon with the blue arrow. I thougt it's normal
Just my last three SMS have the icon with the red clock...so i thougt there is an error...i am confused

I'm confused as well, but don't worry.. if people are getting your messages, then there's no problem.
In the Messaging options, have you enabled delivery or read reports or anything like that? Maybe the blue arrow is a visual notification that the message was delivered or read by the recipient?

Yeah....i've enabled "delivery reports". So i can read the status of the messages by holding down on one message. There i get the option of "delivery report" and all my messages show "Delivered".
By holding down on one message with the red icon i get one more option than by holding down on one message with the blue arrow.
I can edit these messages with the red icon....so the N1 "think" that the messages arent delivered ?!
What icon are shown in your message application?

The red clock looking icon means the message is still being sent. I do get that, but only very briefly.
The only other icon I ever get is a grey triangle with a red !, which means the message couldn't be sent.
Edit: I have no idea what the blue arrow icon is... I thought it meant that you had forwarded the message or had a delivery report, but after trying myself, neither are the case. Still, if people are getting these, I wouldn't worry.
As for the red clock... if it is stuck on that icon, then the message is still being sent and for some reason it's not sending. This usually has to do with the network, but could be a problem with the APN. You're obviously able to send some messages, so the APN should be fine. That leads me to believe there's a network issue that isn't allowing you to send all your messages.

Maype this is the case....
Yesterday i installed APN Settings because i was travelled in a other country. I just wanted to forbid roaming...But while sending these messages, APN Settings was disabled (no blocking)....but i got the red icon...strange. Maybe the Nexs was confused, too
...and i've thougt, that the icon with the blue arrow is quite normal

Text bubble

What does the text bubble mean that sometimes appears about 1 cm to the right of the Start menu?
Thanks,
Jon
Im guessing it means that you have a new Text Message, Try going to the Messages Menu in TouchFlow3d or by going to Start > Programs > Messaging

nope, this one appears on the bottom. i think it the bluetooth in "discoverable".
btw, jon12345 can't you read what is written there?
The one which looks lke a speech bubble? Its shown when you have too many notifications for just the top bar for example you have a mised call notification a text message and your bluetooth is active.
Hope this helps
Well, I never switch my bluetooth on and I had no text messages waiting to be read.
The bubble appear when there are more than 1 things to do.
If you have a missed call and a message, the bubble appears, as if you have the batt. empty and a missed call, the bubble is always there.
1 Time has appened that the bubble doesn't come out, also after the message/call reading, it was still there.
A soft reset has resolved.

Profile bug issue?

Are anybody else experiencing a bug in the profiles, when you choose Vibrate calls vibrate, but text messages only vibrate when the phone is not in sleep mode. As soon as the screen turns off the only indicator is the green flashing light..
And another thing, under Advanced => Notifications there is a checkbox called "Display message on screen" under the event of New Text Message, what does this do?? I can't see any difference when I check it or leave it unchecked?
Thanks
It does look like there is an issue with notification for messages both text and email, I'm sure someone is working on a cab file as I write...
If you go to the Today settings and turn off TouchFlow 3D you will see if you have enabled the message for reciving text messages.
Tried this out today on mine and it worked fine. Vibrate profile active, in sleep mode, text recieved and the phone vibrated three times.
The second thing you mention about a txt msg means when you recieve a text it displays a note on the screen briefly saying who its from and a snippet of the message instead of just the icon at the top of the screen. I find it quite handy. You can do this for emails to.

Hmm strange can't get it working on mine..
And the note thing on the screen is pretty handy, thanks

in mine, do not work when i recieve a text it not displays a note on the screen.....
When I have TouchFlo3D enabled I can't att elements to the today screen. In the setting for the Today screen there are a bunch of things/elements that you can add but they only work when TouchFlo3D is deisabled in the Today screen settings? Is that a bug or can't you customize the Today screen when using TouchFlo3D?

[HERO]SMS's not being marked as read

After recieving a text yesterday I saw it popup on my lockscreen, I pulled down the nofitications draw and clicked on it to open it in the messages app to read it. I didn't reply, just hit home and locked the screen, but the text was still on my lockscreen, notificatons draw and the messages icon had a badge to show one unread message. So why isn't it being marked as read?! I got a text the day before that I didn't respond to and it was fine.
Same here... its driving me mad!!! anyone with a fix??
I would say try doing a wipe.

Chomps SMS popup delayed ....very very inritatiing

I have rooted my phone and updated all my apps....i think tht no led is causing it to delay the chomp sms popup.
What happens is i receive a txt message, i see the no led notification and then after pressing home and unlocking screen my homescreen shows no popup but shows text message icon in notification bar.....needless to say the popup comes up an hour later...with OLD text messages as well as a new current received one.....what is the problem here? is it a no led in conjunction with Chomp sms? or a plain chomp sms and root problem? im very confused....
EDIT** have verified this is a No LED problem.... wanting a way to fix this somehow. i just posted in No Led thread also.
DOUBLE EDIT** MODS please delete this thread....have fixed issue thanks.
switch to handsent SMS waaaaaaay better

[Q] Why do I get 5 txts at a time (for the same message) ??????

Every time i get a txt, Handcent pops up and I get the same text like 5-6 times.. sometimes more.. my friend sent me a "ok" text yesterday and I got it 10 times within 20 mins.
does ANYONE know how to stop this?
Hi ave u installed go sms from the market,
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hey there!
Normally I always come to a solution, but this one is hard... while it seems easy.
Been searching the web for a while now, but no one seems to have this exact problem.
Problem:
Everytime I receive a Text/SMS message, i get notified by a white envelope in the notification bar. it says: 'New Message(s)' with beneath it 'You have an unread message'. So then I click on the icon/text and my message app (handscent SMS) launches. I can reply etc. but when i return to my home screen (doesn't matter if i tick the 'back' button of the 'home' button) the white envelope is still there. So i have to open the notification bar and press 'clear'. ****@NOY!NG!!
Thing is that I don't know which app notifies me, so i can't turn it off! I already ticked-off all the notification boxes (and sounds) is the system message app as well as in handscent sms. But that damn white envelope is still there (with notification sound)!
I figured out one thing; I can change the notification sound of the d*mn white envelope just bij changing the 'General' notification sounds at the settings menu.
So then I thought maybe is the notification from android itself. Does anyone ever had the same problem? suggestions to fix it? thanks
you would drive me crazy!
peace

I don't use GO sms, I use Handcent SMS.
I just get 4-6 txts in less than a minute. It's so annoying. I wish i could stop it.
Ok, the reason i ask is i get the same thing i get about 5 or 8 texts always the same text i think it's something two do with the default sms program conflicting with third party app
