Help! Popup applications won't work :/

[April94702]

Hi,

I just got a "new" samsung galaxy s3 a few days ago and the only problem I've come across so far is that none of the sms pop up apps I download work. I've used SMS Popup on my previous phones in conjunction with Handcent SMS with no problem. I'm frustrated because I can't figure out why NONE of the apps, SMS 7, Popup Notifier, or SMS Popup, will work. And when I say doesn't work I mean I can open the app and change the settings, but nothing ever happens when I get a text - no popup, no notification, no sound, no LED light. But I've tried the Handcent pop up and it works just fine? I really want to figure out what's going on because the pop up that comes with Handcent drives me crazy. If anyone can shed some light on my situation I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

I am on Sprint's S3, so there may be some differences, but have you tried changing settings when you are in the stock Messaging app? Open it up, and you should see the screen that has all your conversations. Hit Menu>Settings. Change whatever may be relevant, and see if that works.

Yeah I've tried that with no luck. Handcent popups work, but none of the popup apps do :/
