Motorola Droid: Turn Off Double Notifications of SMS Text Messages
Posted by Mitch on Nov 29, 2009 under Android Tips | 8 CommentsIf you’ve installed an SMS text messaging client on your Motorola Droid, you will probably get 2 notifications that a text message has arrived. To prevent this from happening, you will have to disable the notification in one of the applications. If you’re not using Messaging, disable the notification with these steps.
1. Open the Messaging app.
2. Press Menu.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Uncheck the Notifications box.
I need help! i have the droid. I turned off the email notifications because it would push every 15 minutes but when I did that it turned off my text message notifications as well. Why would it do this and how do I get my text alerts to come in and not email messages?
wow that worked great. thank you!!!! went into the stock sms program and disabled notifications and waa laa! i also use handcents bc i was a previous iphone user so this is perfect. awesome!
Ok I’m new and have the same problem using handcent. can someone tell me how to turn off missed call sms. I can’t figure out where this menu is and I’m going to rip out all of my hair! thanks!
Thank God! I have spent countless hours googleing how on earth to STOP getiing duplicate notifications from my new SMS client and the messenger installed on the phone. No forum had the answer. This was very simple and it worked! So now I can still keep my handcent SMS! Thank you soooo much!
I did this and it worked just fine!! Make sure you are actually accessing the OLD messaging app that you want to turn off and uncheck that one.
I just fixed this with my phone…Ben, do you have missed call on your phone? I had to turn off sms notification on missed call, now i don’t get the double notification
I too have done this and continue to get two notifications. Please HELP!!!
I did this, made sure my notifications were off and everything else in the settings and I still get double notifications
