BiteSMS and LockInfo question

[pbkiller]

Hello there,

I currently have LockInfo setup for when a txt message arrives, it blocks the Apple annoying popup alert, and instead it gives me the SMS notification on the lockscreen. I also have that when I tap the notification, it automatically opens up the default SMS app and i can type and reply right there (the threaded conversation between me and with the person im texting).

I downloaded BiteSMS trial and now when I receive a txt message, the LockInfo notification comes up (as it did before), but now when i tap it, instead of taking me to the BiteSMS thread with the person im texting, it goes to the "Apple Styled annoying notification popup" from BiteSMS. When I slide to unlock, then it takes me to the BiteSMS threaded conversation.

I have setup the Tap To Reply feature on LockInfo so that it opens BiteSMS. Does somebody know how to fix this? It's just an extra step, but its annoying as hell. Thanks for the help...

Rob

Open up bitesms, on the top right tap the settings button, scroll down to Features then tap on lock screen. You can have the txt pop up like apple intended, or have a quick reply box pop up to reply right away, or set it to "do nothing", which sounds like what you are looking for.

Also go into Setting>Lockinfo>Plugins>SMS>Tap to Reply and change to biteSMS.

EDIT: never mind that's not what you want..

Nope, didnt work. It still shows the "Apple Annoying Popup Alert" after tuning it to "Do Nothing". Before doing that, when i received a text message (while the phone was locked and screen turned off), the phone would wake up and the screen would turn on letting me know that there was a new text message. When i turned on the "Do Nothing" setting in BiteSMS, the phone would not wake up when receiveing a text message, I would have to manually wake it to see the new text.

I also have the Tap To Reply setting enabled and it still shows the "Annoying Notification Popup".

The popup that im getting is not the one that Apple puts out, the annoying popup is part of BiteSMS...

quickreply use to bring up a transparent threaded style overlay with keyboard. It was the same as the native messaging app except it was transparent and would overlay on the lockscreen when you tapped to reply on lockinfo. Not sure if this is still working on 4.0.

If I undertands correctly you want to disable the Notification popup and just let LockInfo handel the notification, you need to do that on BiteSMS.

go to BiteSMS setting, go to LockScree > Check "Show Nothing"

If you want to get rid of those on the home screen you need to do the same on "unlock Screen Mode"

Basically...

But if I go to BiteSMS and on the LockScreen i set it to "Do Nothing", when the phone is locked and I receive a text message, the phone will sound, but it wont wake up. I would have to manually press the home or sleep button to wake it, and then see the text message notification.

I don't think what you want is possible them, in order to wake up the screen you need to access the Notification system, LockInfo just reads it, don't send notification to it. If you disable BiteSMS notification, them there is nothing to bring the screen alive.

Ok, so basically here's what happens:



I receive a Text message, LockInfo handles the notification perfectly... When i tap on it, it takes me directly to the message conversation (threaded view), where i can reply from there:




But now when i receive a text message, although LockInfo handles the notification, when i tap on it:



then this shows up:



When i Slide To View, it takes me to the BiteSMS threaded conversation screen:



Thats what i want to avoid.

OK first problem is easy too fix. Setting>Lockinfo>Plugins>SMS>Tap to Reply and change to iphone messages. What will launch the native over bitesms.

EDIT: Second problem. Go into bite settings lock screen mode and change to Show apple alert. Lockinfo will handle notifications and the screen will light up on new messages.

You might also consider quickreply, if they ever make it free like it's suppose to be, so you don't even leave the lockscreen to do what you want it too.

Sorry to hijack, but I am having a similar (but not exactly the same) issue with bitesms and lock info. When I get a text I want to just double tap it in lockinfo and then have the keyboard pop up right away for me to start writing back. Instead, I double tap and get this stupid bitesms popup giving me the option to call, view, or close. I want to avoid the extra tap and just go straight to typing. is that possible with bitesms? Should I be using a different app instead? I've been searching and am struggling to get an answer.

Most likely, removing BiteSMS and using the stock SMS app with QuickReply worked for me (but then again you lose some of the advantages of BiteSMS)... Im with a new i4 @ 4.0.2 so i cant test anything until the new JB is out...
