Quick reply to text has changed? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

I didn't see a post about this so I want to see if anyone else is having this issue. When I first got the phone and was doing something on the phone and a text message came in, the top of the screen would drop down with the message and a bar to type to reply. For some reason now, when I am using the phone I get a really tiny floating text message and I can't reply to texts from the screen I'm on any longer. If I click the floating text message it opens the messenger app. Anyone else have this issue? Phone is completely stock and up to date.

To go back to how you want it, settings...display...edge screen...turn off edge lighting.

Or just use 2 fingers to pull down more options like "mark as read" and reply

Closing sms

Hi there,
I have tried searching to solve this problem but so far have had no luck. When I send a new message to someone on clicking the send button, it sends then the message then goes back to the reading pane. When I actually reply to a message and push send, the message sends but then the reply box comes up again as if it wants me to reply again! This is stupid and I wish that once i sent a reply it would also close. Would be even nicer if it went back to the home tab but just closing automatically would be nice.
Thanks
This is regular behaviour.
So there is no registry setting that can trick it into thinking a reply is a new message instead so it does close? I really don't get some of the choices made in windows mobile abd even more so why the user is not given more options.
Thanks
thread_sms
I have just been looking at the thread_sms.htm and compose_sms.htm
Is there anyway to figure out what difference between the thread view and the compose view causes the messaging window to close.
I really don't get why it doesn't go away of its own accord.
I'm also assuming no one has figured out how to make the sms send once you get back into reception.

Auto Close SMS

Is there any way to have messaging closes after I hit send on a message. I hate having to close messaging every time I send at text.
Also would like to know is there any way to get the phone to close quicker when you hang up.

Don't know about closing the SMS app automatically, but you can send new messages or reply to received messages without opening the messaging app altogether, so you don't have to worry about closing the app when your done.
While in the TF3D Messaging TAB, simply hit the icon on the right edge of the screen a half inch from the top, looks like a message bubble with a pen.
To reply to a message, simply have the message displayed on the screen and press the Menu option, bottom right, and select reply. When you hit send, your automatically back to the TF3D TAB.
I find I only have to open the messaging app itself once in a great while.

well i don't have TF3D on my phone but i created short cuts for my most common texted people and when i press the short cut it automatically pops up with the person info filled out so i type what i want and hit send then it closes automatically
what I would like to know is if there is a way to keep it from telling me I have unread messages while I'm using thread mode. I'll be having a conversation with someone and it says I have 10 unread messages because I didn't click the title of each individual one because it is in a single thread.

I would like to know the answer to this as well, as it is quite annoying!
I think that in Eten was app send sms or SMSSender which allow you create new sms and after send didn't open messaging window. maybe someone have cab here.
For SMS, just press "OK" (h/w keyboard) or Home instead of the "X" - I've changed the X behaviour to only close the app if I press AND hold the X.
For hanging up calls more quickly, there's a registry tweak that changes the number of milliseconds... I think this is where it was described:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-354596.html
I think it could be done via Mortscript.... please post in DEV forum if you find a solution as this could be used by all

New Email Message Notification

Guys, can anybody help me with this one?
I'm running Touch-IT 12 on my Xperia but have always had the following issue.
Basically, whenever I receive a new Email message, my phone will not come out of standby to tell me. I have to bring it out of standby myself and then touch the screen in order to see the message number go up.
I have the notifications turned on and have an alert and vibration set for new Email message.
I reads somewhere to change the "AC resuming from suspend time" and "Battery resuming from suspend time" from 1 second to 60 seconds. Done this and after a soft reset, still no joy.
Can someone help with this VERY annoying problem? All I want is to be told when I get an Email! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny

install xperia tweak and on the front page of it untick disable wakeup on new message
Still no joy
Nope, still no joy.
Also, I've now noticed that if I get a new message on the phone, but don't go into my inbox, when I receive another new message, I will get the notification.
Very strange. I thought it may be down to doing a send/receive in Outlook rather than Live, but still no difference.
Very weird and so so annoying.

Sonny
Dont know how i can help you then mate because i had the exact same problem and it was because i had that box ticked under xperia tweak - hope someone else knows a fix

Are you talking about push/auto update?

I don't have push email. I'm talking about Windows Live sync being set to update whenever a new message is received.
Works fine in pulling the message, just won't sound the message tone or vibrate.
Work Around
Okay, after a lot of testing I've found a work around for my problem, not really a fix.
If I go into one of my other inboxes before going into standby, the notifications work fine.
If the last inbox I went into was Hotmail, then the notification won't work. If I move over to the Outlook inbox or SMS/MMS inbox, and then do whatever I like (except go back into the Hotmail inbox), the notifications work fine.
Not sure if anyone else has this problem. If so, I hope this helps for you too.
Again, this is when setting Windows Live to sync whenever a new message is received. The results seem as good as push email to me.

Sonny
One question: Do you close your inbox properly or do you just press the OK Button?
Another Work Around

I close it properly, ie press the X in the corner.
That being said, just tested the other possibility... not closing it properly and just pressing okay. With this leaving Hotmail running in the bakground, it works!
So we've come to the conclusion that minimizing Hotmail by pressing OK works and going into another inbox and properly closing messaging works also!
We're getting somewhere..!
Now only if there was a way to close Hotmail properly and not have to go into another inbox to have the notifications work!

That's strange, I had expected the opposite... Perhaps there is a problem with the "wakeup" of tmail.exe... But I really have no idea how to fix this. Isuppose you have tried Softreset?
Ha ha! Tried very many soft resets!
I've had this issue with all of the custom roms I've used (all Itje's). Not sure if it's the roms, or the phone.
Oh well, at least I have a work around for it now. Better than nothing.
hey, i consatntly receive error page of ocurring with my tmail.exe.
what is tat and why is it appearing? what is happening?
i still cannot get mail notification at all..........
Now I have an issue with the notifications engine, but the reverse!
I use Manila which reflects perfectly new emails on the email icon in the slider tab, so I don't want the envelope to appear on the bar at the top. I've disabled all notifications for email (activesync), and of course the little envelope still appears.
It also remains there with a logic I haven't been able to define, even after opening the email, so I find myself going into the notifications screen to "dismiss all".
Would anybody know how to definitively stop the notification appearing at the top of the screen in the first place?
oh. wat i wan is opposite of urs.
any1 care to help?

[Q] Text message notification stuck/keeps returning

I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there

[Q] Texts autoscroll up when opened

Basically what happens is I recieve a new text. So I go click on 'text' in titanium. The new message opens up in the sms app and then it autoscrolls up, hiding the message, and highlights the persons name. So now I have to scroll back down to see the message. It's just sort of an inconvenience. This only happens when there is more texts than the screen can display in the conversation. Does this happen to anyone else, better yet does anyone know how to fix it? cause it's a royal pain.
