Handcent Application Question - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

Better Sms Popup

I know there are already sms popup apps out there but I would like to reply straight from the pop up window. Handcent sms has a good example of it but you have to use there messaging application which has a really bad lag. But you can see what I mean here: http://www.handcent.com/images/popup.png
So in a nut shell a sms popup app that you can reply from straight fro.m the pop window that uses the default messaging app.
Thank you all devlopers that take this into consideration

I think you answered your own question. Its called sms popup. You can reply within the pop up window and use the default messenger.

Dont think you understood it correctly .. sms pop up pops up and lets u hit reply which then take you to your messaging app, he wants a pop up that has an input field for the reply text already in it..
The iPhone has an ill one like that...u dont even have to unlock the phone to reply...
you can use the popup from handcent and use your default messaging app. u dont have to use handcent. handcent and the default apps "talks" with eachother and syncs. so anything udo in handcent is done in the default.
all you have to do is turn off all notifications from handcent and enable notifications for default and just use the popup feature from handcent.
or u can try a widget called Text Widget that does something simliar. it too uses the default msg app and it lets u reply within the quick reply box.

Both of those will work for what you want. I just wish smsPopup had the ability to clear the message as new but not look at it.

also the settings in sms popup is great changes color....and type of vibration

Do you have SMS Popup? If so, you just open that and uncheck notifications.
There is no original sms popup.
ya i have original sms pop up if theres not original pop up then theres something wrong with my phone lol cause i get two different bubbles one from handcent and the other from what i thought was the original sms pop up bubble.

Double SMS Notifications AFTER Disabling

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.

stock messaging app required for other messaging apps

Hey guys. So I was in terminal deleting the stock apps that I don't need to have and one of those apps which I deleted was the stock messaging app, I did this because I was using hancent. Well now I am not receiving text messages
- It all started after I deleted the stock app, I am not sure if it started immediately after or a while after
- I was using handcent and I noticed that I was getting the pop up received thing and the quick reply option but in the actual handcent app under each conversation the incoming message was not there.
- I then switched to chomp sms to see if that would fix it. Now I am not getting the quick reply popup message received (in chomp)
Are there any suggestions to fix this or knowledge about this topic? Do you need to have the stock messaging app inorder to have other messaging apps work? Oh ya, outgoing messages still work.

Emergency alerts (Android 10) in other SMS apps

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?
