I'm running cyan's 4.2.3 with Enoch 1.4.2 theme using handcent sms. I have already disabled auto-retrieve and notifications on the default messaging application but i still receive notifications from both when i receive text messages. Reinstalling handcent had no effect and neither did wiping the data from the messaging app. I'd like to find a solution without having to reflash/reinstall all my apps if possible
You will ALWAYS get messages in the default, because if you didn't you wouldn't get them in handcent. Go into the default messenger and turn off the notifications. Simple fix. And you need to turn on auto download because thats for MMS not SMS.
sigh.. if you had read you would have seen

I quickly read, but you don't have notifications turned off, because if you did it wouldn't notify unless they gave you a change sms program. I just turned mine on/off and it works just fine. Check permissions.
... i have checked those settings multiple times. I wouldn't be posting in a forum if it was that simple of a solution. It used to work before and now it doesn't, obviously the default messaging program is having some kind of fault where changing the setting via the GUI is not affecting it.

I just rooted/cyan'ed my phone and when reinstalling handscent sms I found that both handscent and stock sms notify. I solved this before by uninstalling messaging, but with cyanogen/donut 1.6 doesn't give me the option.
Does anyone know what I can do to disable stock messaging or manually uninstall it.
at all threads in messaging >menu>settings>uncheck "notifications"
Ahhhh...I'm a genious, thankyou!!!!
I have the EVO and I uncehcked notifications and set Handset to auto recieve and mine were still coming to my main one. I just deleted the message icon on my home screen and replaced it with Handscent. I'm only getting one notification but the message was still going to my HTC message one. But it's ok since I replaced the Handscent SMS icon with the messaging one. Handscent is cute.

I have the same problem with the Droid Eris. The screens shots that Hanscent sends are not the same as the phone, when trying to disable the Droid messaging software vs. Handscent. Does anyone know how to disable the Droid messaging software?? I would be more than willing to pay someone who can set up my phone correctly. I live 10 mins. south of LAX in L.A.
I get a double notification sound every time i get a text message. The first sound is the one i chose in handcent. The second sound occures 1 second after the first, and its the default notification sound("look at me").
Ive tried unchecking everything in the default messaging app. Ive tried going into settings>sound& display> notification ringtone> silent. Restarting phone after setting these things. And still no fix. I still get the double notification sounds. The 1st i want. The second default sound doesnt go away.
Before I made this thread i did research around the web about this and tried every suggestion. I still have the problem.
Any other suggestions?
also: my phone is not rooted
Wow. Never heard of that... I really don't know what to say.
Root.
Go to messaging app, settings, then just UNCHECK notifications. That should be it. I've had tons of Android phones and use all kinds of 3rd party SMS app, and have no issues.
Make sure you don't have some other SMS app or message notification app also running giving notifications. (missed call, sms popup, chompsms, trackball alert, sms count widget, etc..)

Yeah "nothing" is checked in the default messaging app.
I tried to install chomp to see if it was handcent and it did it with chomp too.
Edit: I found the issue!
Thanks for suggesting about looking for any app that had anything to do with messaging or ringer tones. It was a rarely used app i have called "ringo pro"
I changed the appropriate settings and now everything is fine.
Thank you
I am using the handcent sms application but now i have double notifications.
Handcent SMS app when i receive in coming messages and 2nd one from default sms client is there a way i can stop the default sms client to give me the notifications and only get the notifications from the handcent sms app ?
Go into the default messaging app, then settings, then uncheck Notifications(display message in status bar).

Great Thanks
other question about this: does handcent need the messaging app to work? cause i never use my messaging app, but often it boots without my asking. Mostly after some texting.
I love Handscent SMS but there are a few problems....
When I sent messages people seem to get them twice...at least with MMS...
When I get messages my notification tone plays twice...and it's annoying. Even though I have already set handscent as the default messaging program it still does these things...is there a way to avoid it?
I tried Chomp SMS and it said something about disabling notifications in Android. I haven't got to test this much but it may work for Handscent also. I prefer Handscent so far over Chomp. The layout is a little nicer.

go into your stock messaging app settings (not handcent settings) and disable notifications. that should fix the double notification tone.
dont know about the double mms thing you are having though. i love handcent and i refuse to use the default messaging app
I sometimes get double replies from people through handcent though I don't think I'm actually receiving the SMS twice. It seems like some glitch :x .. as for MMS.. I'm not too sure but Handcent has a dedicated forum you should try visiting with a question as they would probably have a better answer X_x

Hi,
is there any way to receive emergency alert messages in other apps and not in the default Messages?
I asked Textra about it and the answer was:
If the amber alert / emergency alert comes in as a SMS it will show up in Textra, if it comes in as a push notification it will only show up on your pre-installed messaging app out of the box, poor practice we know, but this is their way of trying to lock you in.
This is the same for all other messaging apps.
I hope this clarifies.

The problem is that when an alert comes (and since I have Textra as default sms app) instead of viewing the alert I get a popup to choose another messaging app!
Does this happen to anyone else? Any ideas?
