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.
Hey guys,
I just recently got my HTC hero and I have a question about the messaging app. First of all, I am currently using Handcent mainly because if you use the stock app, texts always show up on the lock screen even if you are using the pattern lock. That is annoying, and I don't understand what the point of the pattern lock is if you can just see my texts without having to even unlock my phone...anyway, so I am using handcent and it's fine. I've made sure to remove notifications on the stock app so that I don't get double notifications, but my question is: is there a way to delete the stock app? I mean is the phone going to slow down since it is getting texts from 2 apps, does that make sense? Even though the notifications are disabled for the stock app, the texts still go there and they are also going to handcent...So basically i would like to know if:
1. i can delete the stock app (i have rooted my phone so...)
2. does it matter that the phone is pulling texts to two different apps
3. is there a way to make my texts not go to my lock screen, if so i would just not use handcent
Finally, on handcent, i will oftentimes get a text twice from people. does anyone have this problem?
Ok tahnks!
1. Don't delete the stock messaging app.
2. From what I've read on these forums, Handcent basically gets texts from the stock messaging app to get texts. Your phone isn't really doing twice the amount of work.
3. Hmm, I use handcent, and I disabled notifications on the stock app, and I don't see any texts from the stock app on my lock screen.
I also get texts twice once in a while. I think it has something to do with scrolling down the conversation window while the text is being received... not sure, but that's what I noticed.

Look at handcent as a theme for ur stock text app.
Deleting stock would make text not work.
No way to turn that off in stock text for the lockscreen
Dbl text is the carrier at times. It happens. No way to stop it.
My experience is different, I deleted the stock app (mms.apk) and my text work just fine. As long you as you remembered to turn on auto retrieve in your handcent's setting under "Receive message settings". It has been working for me without any issue.
Handcent and Google Voice don't play well with one another. Handcent won't display my Google Voice number despite what the Google Voice settings say. It also behaves... oddly for me. I really wish it would work the way I want it to, though. Hot damn, is it pretty. I love the interface and the customization options. I just hate the fact that it won't play nice with Google Voice. So... ugly texting through my preferred number, it is!
Have you tried chomp sms? Similar look, not as customizable, but may play better with gv

I have tried Chomp. But, as far as I can tell, when not sending from the Google Voice application, it tells people that it came from my cell number, not my Google Voice number. The whole point of Google Voice, at least for me, is to have one number forever, not switch between them.
I was wondering if there is a way to disable the "Limit Messages" notification when you enter the SMS stock application.
I find it really annoying and I always have to hit the "No Limit" button to access a text. I have gone to the Settings but no luck. I have the 'Delete old messages' unchecked and I think thats the reason I am getting this annoying notification.
Just want to be able to have unlimited messages and if I do feel the need to delete a text I can.
Anybody finding this annoying as well?
If you really need to keep all your messages......????....use an app that will store/backup them for you
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
Good point. I have been using SMS backup to back up my text messages to my Gmail account for some time. I should have realized that I done need to keep ALL my texts.
One thing I am not sure is if SMS Backup application backs up MMS as well?
What I did from the beginning was set the text limit to the max (apparently 5000) for normal and mms and unchecked the delete old messages box. Only a temporary fix though since its not hard for me to get to 5000. At least with one person.

I believe it does (at least it seems to for me, but I haven't ever tried to restore, so ymmv).

Just verified this and the SMS Backup does not backup MMS to gmail. I looked at the settings no option.
Any body know of an app that can backup MMS to gmail?
Messaging won't send 2 pages plus whenever I forward a message there is no "FWD:" in front of it. Anyone else experience this?

What app are you using to send sms?
I've tried both handcent and stock messaging, neither work. I had the same problem with cyanogen. My friend's hero has the same problem.

Im having trouble sending a text message that is greater than 160 characters too. I am using Aosp 2.2, latest one.
I'm surprised we're the only ones having this problem, although most people don't send sms messages over 160. I on the occasion do, so it's a necessity. I recall 2.1 being able to do it.

To send messages over 160 character, you will have to use a SMS app such as Chomp or Handcent to split up the message(s).
@ stayclean
I've tried several SMS applications, including CHOMP, Handcent, Go SMS, and stock. All show that you are going beyond the two page limit, but once you exceed it says send failed.

With Handcent, did you set it to split after 160? If not, you have to go into Settings > Send message settings > Split 160 > Simple Split.
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.
