I cannot get the text prediction bar to show up in the default email app. Tried Gingerbread Keyboard and Swiftkey. The prediction bar shows up in all other applications, just not the email app.
I reflashed a fresh, vanilla copy of the default Samsung Gingerbread (XWJVB) and it does not work there either!
I don't see anyone else complaining about this problem, so I am wondering if I have some how managed to corrupt something that doesn't get cleared by a fresh Odin install (with PIT checked!)... or does nobody who uses the default Email app care about text prediction or... what is up?
I have same question here. Found this thread by searching the web. It looks like text prediction is disabled for some strange reason in the email program. Is there any way to enable it?

I could have sworn that when I first used the sms widget it prompted me what application I wanted to use for the buttons, compose msg mainly. I can't seem to make it work with handcent sms, even after clearing default programs in application manager. Anyone have any ideas?
Its never asked me what application I wanted to use it with... sorry I'm of no help...
I hope this is the right section to ask this, so here goes:
I have Handcent SMS installed on my G1 running Eclair. When running Cupcake, I easily disabled the built in messaging notifications so that I did not get that 'white envelope' in the notification bar. But, for some reason, in Eclair, when I disable notifications in the default messaing app, I am still getting the white envelope in the notification bar that says I have unread messages...I have that in addition to the Handcent icon...
Does anyone have any idea how to completely disable the notification for messaging in Eclair?
You can uninstall/delete the messaging apk.
I always wondered if that could be done...didnt know if removing that would remove the SMS capabilities of the phone (IE: if Handcent relied on it for API calls or something)

I wouldn't remove the Messaging app, some people have had problems. As in, no text messages AT ALL. The sms replacements rely on the messaging app for the actualt texts, they just read them from there
Don't think so because I used to just use handcent w/o the default messaging app when I was running a hero rom a while back and never heard anyone complain about me not getting their messages.
Worst case, just push the original back.
So I was having stability issues with Ecliar, and dropped down to Cupcake for a while until the Eclair dust settles and a few more stable releases are made. But, I am experiencing the same problems now, as I was with Eclair.
I installed Handcent, as I prefer it over the stock SMS/MMS application. In the default Messaging application, I have disabled everything regarding notifications, and I am still receiving the white envelope in the notification bar alongside the Handcent icon, indicating a new message. The only way for me to rid myself of the white envelope is to open the notification bar, and press the Clear button.
Can anyone point out what I may be missing? That while envelope is really irritating, heh.
I have recently flashed DDJG4 and its by far the smoothest eclair for me but I have noticed that some of my contacts have a bug in messaging. Only their number shows up opposed to their name. This is annoying as I dont know who the message is from unless i open the contact details.
Contact details is fine, no problem. Just the messaging app.
Anyone else notice this? any fix ideas?
thanks
don't have enough messages from different people to confirm (only 4 so far). however, on a related note, do you see a long delay between unlocking the screen using the puzzle piece and the corresponding message opening in the messaging app?
Not checked. I use pattern lock. Ill have a go and see.

Sorry to say, but its just you.
I have over 41 conversations and all the names display correctly.
I noticed lagging on the lock screen to messaging in ddjf3
In ddjg4 there is no more lag anywhere.
I put the ext2 1gb lagfix just for the heck of it and the phone is now faster than me.
Reflash and see whats wrong.
Use the Backup apps from ritesh sahu.
I use them to backup my data before flashing.
I have the same problem too when I imported/restored about 150 old messages. Did you manage somehow to get rid of the problem? On my phone it's only some contacts where only the number is shown and not connected to a contact. This problem started for me when changing to the jm firmware line. For the jf and jg firmwares this problem does not appear.
Strangely, handcent sms has no problem with the sms/contacts. Therefore, this has to be a bug in the samsung sms application, not in our data.
I would like to almost completely replace the stock messages app. My dilemma is that I really enjoy the stock notifications for the stock messages app, but I like how handcent is set up brr than the stock app. I have the notifications turned off in handcent and the notifications on for the stock app. But this makes it so when I read the message with hand cent it doesn't mark the message as read in the stock app thus the notification stays up in the status bar until I clear it manually, which is becoming annoying. So the only way I can think off to fix it, since I could not find a setting to mark them as read, would be to take all of the handcent files except the notification settings and use them to replace the stock app files. hopefully someone can help me figure how to do this out provide me with an easier way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Or another idea would be if some one knows how to theme the regular messages app I could always do that instead if someone could tell me how to do it.

What exactly do u mean by notifications? Do you mean the icons? if that's what you mean you can change the notification icons in handcent.
Here's how:
1. In the main handcent screen hit menu and go to settings
2. Go to notification settings
3. click on notification settings again
4. Go to notification icon
5. Choose your icon and enjoy!
I believe some of the icons in there look the same as the stock icon. And to keep from getting two notifications disable the notifications in the stock app. Not sure if this is exactly what you were asking about but hope it helps.
I appreciate the response, but what I'm really going for is the wile puzzle piece unlock thing. I have it set up now to where it works so I get the puzzle piece and then launch into handcent but since I have to have the notifications through the stock app to get the puzzle piece to work the status bar icons stay there until I clear them manually because handcent doesn't mark the text messages as read in the native app.
I see. I use the pattern unlock on my phone so i wouldn't know how to change that. I'm sure a dev could probably figure that out for you. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful. Good luck.

^Agree with OP. Would love the functionality of Handcent but retain the puzzle piece notification, since it's a nice touch and the visual eye candy enhances the overall experience.
The only thing I use Handcent for is the popup notification window when I get a new text so I send a quick reply and put the phone back down. For everything else I just use the stock messaging app.
I tried a few other popup notifications for texts but, like has already been said, Handcent is the best so far.

Yeah I pretty much want to the exact opposite of that. I like the interface of handcent, but I actually don't like the popups or notifications that handcent uses.
I also just put in a feature request on the handcent forum. Asked them to add and option to automatically mark the text as read in standard app or to have the option to use the puzzle piece as the notification in handcent. So we'll see how that goes
I might have to take back what I said about hancent. Seems as if it managed to delete all of my 3k+ text messages. Not very happy about that.

havent seen that happen
i use SMSBackup+ from the market to backup all my SMS to my gmail
makes things WORLDS easier for all my constant rom flashing
I know it was Handcent cause I looked at the logs and it was the last app to access my texts. I had a clockwork backup from a few days earlier. I got some of my stuff back, but still lost some important ones. I looked at smsbackup but I was a little weary of it having access to my Google account and about how it worked.

I would love to have this as well. This is exactly what I have been looking for. If you do end up finding this or figuring out how to make it work, could you let me know or lead me in the right direction? Thanks.
I've learned a lot since I posted this. And to my understanding the puzzle piece thing is part of the touchwiz ui. So it only will work with the Samsung messaging app. The only way to achieve this effect would be to have some one create an entire rom based on this request by using handcent as the default and modifying the touchwiz lock screen to use handcent instead of the Samsung messaging app. Which sucks because this seems like it would be quite tedious but that's my understanding now of the problem but hopefully I'm wrong lol. I kinda gave up on this idea but still if anyone figures out a simple fix to this I would love to know.

I also have a question regarding the puzzle piece screen when receiving an sms... Is there any way for the puzzle piece screen to still show up when using Widget Locker? I don't see an option for something like that, but there are options to block popups.
Oh man would I love this feature!! I think I'm going to have to go back to the stock app because I love the puzzle piece unlock so much. Its just too tedious to unlock the screen and then click on the messaging app (I know that sounds awful hahah) especially if you text ALOT.
