Get handcent sms from market
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
all i can find is handcent language packs, but anyway, why do i need an app for my phone to vibrate
The app is an alternative for the stock messaging app and it has its own vibrate settings.
The app's full name is "Handcent SMS"

This was also driving me nuts. Until just now since I finally figured it out. You just need to open up the messaging app itself, hit the menu button, and click on messages settings. Make sure the vibrate option is clicked and voila, we have vibrate.
This is different from the notification vibrate in the regular settings menu.

Just as Duffey1 said its a separate setting in the app itself. If you want more control such as the vibrate pattern then you will have to install another app from the market or rom such as liberty3 that has this built into the SMS app.

i think my problem was different, because i did check the settings in the messaging app itself also the one in sound settings and even though it was enabled , it still wasn't working, i did end up fixing it though, i downloaded an app called sound manager and enable vibration in there and now even after uninstalling sound manager, my sms vibration still works
i actually had this happen to me twice, both times when switching ROMs, and both times sound manager fixed the problem

I use handcent and I'm sick of getting 2 notifications everytime I get a message so I wanna delete the default messaging app
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Just go into settings on the stock messgaing app and turn off notifications.
But I want it gone like forever

What for? Why does it bother you? It doesn't take app space.
You can't do it without root, anyway.
Does Handcent rely on the stock app for info or would it work as a standalone?
Anyways, disabling notifications from your messaging app can be confusing the first time. First you'll have to hit menu>more>show all threads. When you are on all the all threads screen you hit menu then preferences (settings) and all the way towards the bottom, uncheck notification.
i was thinking handcent relies on the stock messenger app, but i am not sure any more.. it could be stand alone, best way to find out is pull the stock messenger app from system/app then do a remove and test.. if get FC or wierd problems jus push the apk back in and reboot!
Is there a way i could put the vanilla messaging app on here not the samsung messaging app?? I'm rooted and i was just wondering if i can get the default mesaging app instead of samsung because i like the default better
Have you tried handcent? Its pretty cool once you get it all set up the way you like it. Look for it in the market

I've tried that already... I like it but i dont like how you get 2 notifications...How do u cut off the notification for the original message app??
In the setting of the Messaging app hot menu then click setting scroll down to the notifications section. Uncheck the checkbox that says Notifications. I did it when I tried Handcent.

How do I make Handcent the default messaging app again? Auto retrieve is unchecked in Serendipity native messaging, but it is still receiving messages. Thanks.

...sigh... Did you turn off the notifications on the native app also?
Notifications are off. Not getting double notifications. Just seems very inefficient to have messages loaded by both apps. Gotta be a way to shut down native app without messing around with scripts.

If you have the paid version of titanium backup, you can select the native messaging app and freeze it and see if your messaging still works, if it does still work, use root explorer and make a copy of the native app, save it to the sd card and delete the original. Just throwing out trial and error options, so I'm not responsible if it doesn't work lol. If deleting the native messaging apk caused fc's, just copy and paste the original and you should be back to where you started though.

Do you mean that the preinstalled messenger is the default SMS application?
Have you gone to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All Tab -> Messenger -> Clear defaults?
Yes. Cleared messages and handcent cache. Next message comes in...choose handcent ad default. Go to messages app and same message is there. Not a biggie, but seems inefficient. Thanks

I'm fairly certain that SMS are stored somewhere different and the apps just access that single location; you don't have the same message in multiple locations. If you downloaded a third messenger app later, you should be able to access all the previous conversations as well.
Ok. That makes me feel better then, lol. Thanks

Well, i have the stock messaging app, and using TW launcher 4.. so its literally stuck on the home screen. That being said, ive decided to use that app because i like the TW launcher. My problem is, because that app doesnt have the popup notification, i downloaded SMS popup, and now whenever i reply to an sms using SMS popup, it doesnt mark the message as read. And it also shows a little blip with (#) of unread messages right there on the home screen.
How can i fix this?
Thanks
probably something the app maker needs to fix. I would email them. I use go sms right now and when I read it through the pop ups it kills the notification.

lol, the app maker is samsung i dont see them fixing it anytime soon. I would use go SMS but i like the stock tw launcher... And i dont think its possible to replace the message icon (already in the launcher) with go sms. If this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks
I think for sms popup you have to disable notifications on the stock app and then use it...

Sorry, u do disable it in the stock sms app. I knew 5 minutes after I typed but I had a busy day and never got back to relieve myself of the stupidity I typed.

SMS Popup does not have any options to disable stock messaging app notifications.

That's only half of it. That only takes out the notification in the notification bar and the ringtone/vibration. In the TW4 launcher, the messaging app gets a little blip, like IOS about unread message. That is what i want to erase. I set the notification on the stock messaging app completely off, but that blip still comes here .
Its literally a circle with the number of unread messages in it at the top right side of the application shortcut. ie. (2)
I installed a messaging app called 8sms because I liked the theme of CM messaging. ( I am stock and unroofed so I couldn't install an inverted stock SMS app ) I noticed a problem with group messaging with 8sms so I switched back to stock. Now I don't receive notifications for any messages even though the setting for notifications is ticked in the messaging settings. I have tried clearing cache, data, restoring default settings and rebooted my phone. But to no avail, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you uninstall the third party messaging app? I had that problem with GoSMS Pro. Notifications didn't work no matter what I did in settings and preferences with each app. It was not until I completely uninstalled Go that my notifications started working again. I've never experienced anything like this on any other android device I've used. No idea what causes this to happen.

Fixed the problem, it was an issue with MMSC settings within 8sms. I would recommend 8sms to anyone who is unrooted and wants a dark themed stock sms app
