go into chomp's settings and turn off notifications.
then go into default android sms and turn off notifications.
go back into chomp and turn on notifications.
this should make it so your g1 only notifies via chomp. however, if you still get multiple alerts for a new sms, one of the envelopes will have a greenish border...this is the notification for chompsms. it looks almost exactly like the default icon, but it has the green color around the envelope thingy.

WOOO
Great! Simple! Easy! Awesome App Finally A Way To Text Without Sliding The Qwerty Out...great Work

I left dgalert installed and turned of notification in chompsms, made sure when asked which to use as a default, set chomp as default. Now i get the benefits of chompsms with one notification, just dont get the green envelope.

I kinda wish it wasn't a direct bite of the iPhone Texting module and it was made custom to the G1...its still cool though.

I kinda wish it supported MMS. Except for the better rates on international texting via Chomp, it's fairly useless to me.

[Q] Alternative to Handcent?

Is there an other MMS apps as an alternate to Handcent or Chomp?
My main issue with Handcent is that it takes too long to get text notifications. They're instant with the default Froyo Mms.apk. Handcent takes an extra 2+ minutes for texts to show up.
I'm willing to try Handcent longer if someone knows how to make it receive texts faster. I enabled auto retrieve and roaming auto retrieve.

Kill the pop up on handcent, that speeds it up a lot.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Popup is disabled... I'm not talking about phone lag. The texts just don't show up instantly like they do with the default Mms app.

Then just use the stock. I just dropped handcent because it's too bulky.

There's that, Chomp SMS. I also just use the stock app.

I haven't seen any other sms apps that actually handle sending/receiving texts. Only widgets or popups and such

If you are looking for another texting app, go sms is decent too. Not sure if this will help you, but another option

I used this App for a couple of weeks since I fell in love with the black theme and pop up was 5 times nicer than the Handcent one but I found even Handcent to be quicker than Go SMS. But it is still an App I suggest giving a shot. I might even give it another chance to see if the updates have fixed it up a bit.

I just started using Go SMS the other day and like it a lot. I have been using handcent for a year now and Go SMS seems a little faster and doesn't have all the fluff I didn't use anyway.

was using hancent/chomp/gosms for some time now. just switched back to handcent. to be honest they became quite alike over time. it felt like chomp was always a little behind. no idea what's causing the lag on your phone. although i'm using handcent again, if you can't figure out the source of the problem, i'd recommend staying with gosms. they update all their apps very frequently and doing great so far. might increase the possibility of getting the error fixed which is causing your problem...

I have a HTC Magic and Handcent and the HTC Messaging App both send notifications at exctly the same time.

Disable notifications in the stock app.

Personally, I am a fan of the stock MMS app and using SMS popup from the market. It's a very small app, and allows the popup similar to Handcent.

go sms pro FTW, it literally pwns everything.

Explain the pwnage factor I haven't tried it as I wasn't all that impressed with the description...sounded like all the others with more visual candy (themes). Why are you sold on it?

I don't like how Go SMS doesn't let you restrict the popup to only come up when the screen is off. Also doesn't have the Gingerbread SMS icon.

I don't use popups, but there's a nice green icon I like. I suppose you could leave the stock icon on and turn off the go icon, then when you get the icon just clear it and launch go? Or use whatever you're using, lol.

Hmm
I have used ChompSMS pretty much the entire time I have owned an android phone and it is way awesome! And super customizable. Way awesome, never have problems with it.

I'm trying out go sms and it seems good so far. I may end up not using the popular because I really like advanced sms toast. It's clean and simple

Expanded Notification for Messaging App

I have the Verizon moto and the expanded notifications do not work for the messaging app. This is disappointing because being able to reply to or mark a message as read was a great feature on my previous phone.
Anyway to fix this?

Root and use the CM messaging app from THIS thread.

if youre on verizon, get verizon messaging from the market and it will sync your messages across android and ios (ipad for me)

Not sure why you quoted me. Anyway I don't think that is what the OP wanted. I believe he was referring to marking the message read in the notification shade.
Sent from my Moto X.

yea i'd rather not use any apps made by verizon and the main goal is to be able to mark messages as read and quick reply without opening the messaging app. I'll check out the cm app, going to have to root first tho.

I use the 8sms app, its based off cm but can run on any phone. Dark mode, quick reply, etc...updates fairly regularly with good improvements.

text notifications very erratic

my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??

I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.

Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.

If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??

Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message

Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

I find that notifications in generally slow; when they appear (usually within 5mins of appearing on phone). My Pebble is instant

I installed this app and set it to not light the screen on receiving a text, now my text notifications are almost instant.

That is great news. Glad I could help

Text message pop up

Can anyone tell me where this pop up is coming from? It pops up when new text messages arrive and also an event from facebook arrives. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aedJudl0n9cR8oxyCrSiaeI1sEZsZX_7

I've never seen that, that doesn't look like anything on stock Samsung.

Same here, I have pop up notifications on, but they show the message content at the top of the screen

I've tried to figure out where it is coming from, but have no idea. It has only appeared for text messages and facebook alerts. I've checked setting for both apps and can't find the culprit. If someone can figure it out, it would be much appreciated.

So you must not be using the stock Samsung messages app cause stock doesn't support facebook integration. Looks like you are using Go SMS?

Yes I use GO SMS, I checked the notification settings there as well, even disabled all notifications on GO SMS, and changed the default app to messages and I still get the popup. Hmmmm.....
