[Q] How to fix double-notification with text messaging

I have deleted the stock messaging app and installed Handcent. Whenever I receive a text message, I receive two notifications. The first is the stock messaging envelope icon, followed by the Handcent icon. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wrong section. Also, I thought even the Handcent Market page tells you that you need to disable notifications in the stock messenger.

Yeah, wrong section, but just go to settings in the stock app and disable auto-retrieve.

My apologies. I will try elsewhere. But, fyi, I cannot change the settings in the stock app because I deleted it.

why delete it, just leave it and turn off the notifications for that app.

It has already been deleted. Otherwise, I would turn off the notifications in the stock app. But I cannot open the stock app to turn off the notifications because it no longer exists in the app folder.

Okay, um, extract the MMS.apk file from whatever rom you're using (adb or root explorer) and copy it to /system/app. Then open the apk from /system/app and install. Then open messaging and change settings. Hope it works!

It's simple 3 step process...
1. Search
2. Read the forum rules
3. And, POST in the right section...

Hey forum cop's, this Guy came looking for help. I don't think he needs to be told its the wrong place 4 times. When did linuk/forums/XDA become more about putting people in there place and less about just helping?
If you reflash you should not lose anything.
But same as others have said with putting back the stock app or just reflash the rom you ate using should do it. As long as you have not changed.

Dude - it's not about helping or not helping... people have always answered questions and went out of their way to help out. But this basic stupidity (some might call it arrogance) of not reading rules, guides, wikis - which everyone out here has put in their precious time to develop and update, is unacceptable. And over and above that, this guy has posted this question in two different places... what do you say about that?

Can't wait to see where this thread goes.

I'm unsure if it was here originally. It may have been moved. Usually the mods say it has, but I see no mod post.

Sure is alot of whining in this thread. Never did see if this issue got corrected either. If so, please edit the first post to Solved so no one else comes here to answer and has to sort through all of the hall monitors remarks.
HALT, THOU SHALL NOT POST. THIS HERE!!

What is a sig?

I keep seeing the phase "...in my sig"and I have yet to figure out what it means. What is it, where is it, do I need one, and how do I get one if I do need one?
No laughing please. Haven't been on xda that long, still learning ropes.
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)

everything below the THIS (aka the signature) Mine starts with "TRusselo" and ends at "things!" and has nuts in-between!

If you are using the tapatalk app then it doesn't show sigs, which is an abbreviation for signature.

Thanks guys. Seeing as how I use mobile app 99% of the time, it explains why I have never saw it. I'm guessing it is set up through my profile page?

Just click "user cp" at about the top right and you can set your sig avatar, etc up from there.

He set it up in the app AND the site! The top is the app sig and the bottom is the site sig.

I did, but I didn't know you could set up links, etc. I thought it was for s quick quote. Never occurred to me to put anything else.

If you are going to reply to a quote make sure you are typing out side of the quote or it all gets lost. And like I said before, there are 2 sigs. The one on top is the app sig, that only shows up if you posted from the app, the one on the bottom is the site sig and always shows up.
I use the app most of the time also I noticed this a while back when it would say , "sent using a samsung I897" our whatever the default app sig is, so I turned it off and all you see is my site sig, or on the app just my posts.

Thanks. I thought i was outside the quote.
i appreciate the insight.

Solved/Checking pm's in xda mobile app

I would like to know is anyone else having problem checking there pm's on the mobile xda app??? I have since lost that option and it started yesterday morning. I run an older version of the xda because imo its faster. So I thought that might be the culprit. But I have the blue xda mobile app that abadasstanker did also the transparent one Impaler did also the flashable one from the Darkhorse theme that hero32 did. I even went to the market and dl that one. All of theese still won't allow me to check my pm's via mobile. When I sign in online its fine. I've tried a nand and still no go. So I said forget it and started fresh did a fast boot erase resetup everything and still no go. So anyone else having this problem???

I've gotten a total of 2 PMs ever since I joined xda. If mine is broken I'd never even know.
~maybe I set it too high...

pm sent dpeeps! lol.

Getting an unknown error here when attempting to check PM on the free XDA app. So it's not just you.

Haha, my PMs work!

A thanks jm. Now I can just wait it out instead of thinking something went wrong with my setup.
@ all who replied thanks

I had a theory regarding this and just checked it out. If you had any PMs from a certain member whose account was deleted and changed into a tree (not mentioning any names), then you cannot access your PMs from the xda app. If you log on to xda from the web, delete said PMs from he-who-shall-not-be-named, then you will be able to check your PMs from the app.

Huh you don't say. Well I'm about to try it now.

[SOLVED] Seeing a list of all threads you participated in that have a new post?

Hi..
This feature is in the mobile app where you can see participated threads. In my PC, I used to use see all posts made by me in my profile but right now I'm almost hitting 300 posts and checking that long list is tedious.
So, how do I get this on my PC? A list of all threads I have participated in with a new post after I last checked it?

I tried but I keep forgetting since default is no subscription.

Best way is to subscribe to whatever threads you've participated on. That way you'll can get a notification (email or whatnot) every time someone posts on that thread.

Is it normal for android phones to send a text to every person who got the message someone else sent you? Lol. I know blackberrys showed the others but I never had a phone that messaged everyone else when I was just trying to respond to the original sender.

It's been a while since I changed this on my phone. Try this.
1. Open the Text Messaging app
2. Menu > Messaging settings > Thread group conversations (unchecked)
I think that's what I did to respond individually. If it doesn't work, just set it back.

Hahaha. Funny story. I discovered this "feature" a couple days ago. A buddy of mine sent out a beautiful pic of the scnery with the question "where do you work?" And I went to reply to him with a nsfw pic, and it went to everyone on the list. Including his mom. Some hilarity ensued.
