Getting rid of default sms? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I installed Chomp SMS because it actually vibrates when I get a message =P and so I want to get rid of the default sms as it is annoying to see 2 notifications once I get a text. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks in advance.

go into chomp's settings and turn off notifications.
then go into default android sms and turn off notifications.
go back into chomp and turn on notifications.
this should make it so your g1 only notifies via chomp. however, if you still get multiple alerts for a new sms, one of the envelopes will have a greenish border...this is the notification for chompsms. it looks almost exactly like the default icon, but it has the green color around the envelope thingy.
WOOO
Great! Simple! Easy! Awesome App Finally A Way To Text Without Sliding The Qwerty Out...great Work

I left dgalert installed and turned of notification in chompsms, made sure when asked which to use as a default, set chomp as default. Now i get the benefits of chompsms with one notification, just dont get the green envelope.
I kinda wish it wasn't a direct bite of the iPhone Texting module and it was made custom to the G1...its still cool though.
I kinda wish it supported MMS. Except for the better rates on international texting via Chomp, it's fairly useless to me.

Automated text message after a missed call

I'm running CM 3.6.8 and every time I miss a call, my phone sends out an automated txt message to the caller.
I've searched the forums and I've searched the phone. How do I turn this feature off? Can I?
Thanks in advance.

What does the text message the caller receives? Is it gibberish or is it actually a coherent message telling the caller that your not around? I've hear of this in the past but the texts were completely incoherent so it was some sort of crazy but that a reflash took care of, but it sounds like the texts your callers get might actually be intentional. Can you provide more details?
It's acutally a legit message...
"Sorry. I'm not near my phone right now."
I'm getting tired of explaining to people that I REALLY wasn't near my phone and I'm not just screwing with them.
I'm probably guilty of being a little whiny on this one.
EDIT: I'm also running YouMail, but I've checked that six ways to Sunday and unless I'm an idiot (which is entirely possible) I can't find anything in there that would send a txt reply to a missed call).

Its got to be an app that you have that is doing it.
I will re-check the list of applications.
Any other advice?
Thanks for the help so far, I appreciate it.

I agree, if the message is legit and not looking like a computer took a dump and sent it in a text message (ie KJHHGOE*D*&R&*(*#$IHHHGIDKDKJVNNGJI))))))))))))))#00000000)
Then it must be an app that's doing it. Have you downloaded something that manages your contacts or some derivative of a missed call app that has that option maybe...

It's an app for sure, I had that at some point, auto-reply on missed calls is default. Check all apps that have anything to do with sms (sms pop-up could be the one, not sure)

I know for sure that SMS popup doesn't have options regarding auto response to a missed call. I'm pretty sure I have the latest version too...
Try intentionally missing a call and then look at the logcat logs and see what app is causing the message to go out.
Do you have the app "Power Call" that could be it.?

Thanks, I wasnt sure. We ruled that one out
Some of Mike DG's apps do that...
Agree that message is the same as the default for DGaway.

Sms popups

I've done some research and found out that HTC sense offers this. I want to have a pop-up of my text with a quick reply option on my lockscreen. Is there an apparently that can do it for the captivate? I've tries SMS pop-up and go SMS. Neither works and I hate to continuously install apps. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Handscent does this very well but it tends to work best as a replacement for the default messaging app.

Ok, so.. I've tried all of those, they all suck. I just found this new one called GO MMS or GO SMS or something. It's awesome, customization options, awesome popup ui, quick, try it out.

[Q] Help: SMS messages being sent on itw own?

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Would it be easier to do a factory wipe?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.
