issues with handcent sms? - Desire Themes and Apps

has anyone else had these three issues with handcent sms
i've used the g1 fine since release and have upgraded to the htc desire last week, i find three issues with handcent on the desire
1. the "notification" led stops flashing after a few minutes until i unlock the phone, then it starts flashing again
2. unable to change the LED colour, there is the option in the settings but this merely disables the led when changing the colour
and
3. in the notifcation bar next to the clock, there used to be the handcent envelope and then it would have a number of unread messages - it now just shows the envelope with no number. even though in the settings i've asked it to show the number of unread messages with the envelope
i have played with the settings as i've used it fine with the g1 but cant get any of these things working with the desire, is anyone else facing these issues?
thanks

It seems it doesn't support draft sms!

I also got issues with the LED-Color in handcent...
But for me its more like there is NO led notification even though its activated.
LED me know BETA notifies me very well - so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the led...
I used Handcent for a long time on my Desire - it always worked well.
Last weekend I flashed the new DeFroST-Rom and with this it doesn't work

popup sms?

i finally found a hero rom that works for me but one thing i dislike is that popup sms is very buggy on it. ill get notified a few times for each message. ill get the same notification twice, about 20 mins apart. is there any other app out there that works like popup? i need my screen to "wake up" when i receive an SMS/MMS.
by any chance have you made sure to disable notifications in the sms settings of the device. Also check to make sure you do not have the sms popup setting for reminders enabled. Not using it right now only cause I have been toying with different roms and have been reformatting my sd card with each rom but when I was using it at first with the qtek hero rom I did not have any issues. I am about to flash the evil 1.6 and will test it on that rom and post findings.

Try dgAlert Classic, allows you to set some good sms mms settings including; wake up, led color etc...
yes i did have my notifications set up correctly in both popup sms and the native sms app. i will try this other app and see how it goes. thank you both for the replies.
I have been running on evil's 1.6 hero rom on tmobile mytouch and have had no issues or conflicts with sms popup

does the led color settings work with the hero roms?
ok guys...a little help please. could you please navigate me to sms popup settings? not finding and since there aren't too many places to look, i'm either a doof (likely) or fatal1ty1.4hero has it removed (less likely).
has anyone else gone through this issue yet? i sort of feel like im the only one lol. im currently on modaco 2.2 but popup sms wouldnt work modaco 1.51, a few drizzy roms, and a few jac roms. on modaco it doesnt turn my screen on but when i hit a key the message with pop up notification shows up (but that sort of defeats the purpose of the app). my settings are correct (notifications in native messaging are turned off, notifications turned on in popup sms, message priority setting is on high). i also think i miss a lot of message when i have popup installed.
as a former iphone user this app is huge for me. i normally have to keep my phone on vibrate so its nice to be able to see the screen light up and also have the photo, name, reply button right on the little window. i would be extremely grateful for anyone who could help me set this up on my hero rom!
currently using tmobile mytouch 3g. modaco 2.2 32b hero rom.
SMS Popup v0.9.97 working fine here...

failed sms delivery notification

ok, so since doing the update to 2.1 me as well as everyone i know who have done this have had the problem of getting "failed delivery" notifications for almost all text messages even though they actually send, ive changed every setting i can possibly think of in built in messaging app and handcent
any help would be greatly appreciated, this is getting to be INCREDIBLY annoying
*228 SEND
Fixes alot of network problems. Pick option 1, wait for phone to restart, and see what happens.
tried that, with option 1 and 2, no go
i had the exact same problem, just rebooted the phone and it fixed itself (I also use handcent as my sms client, that might be where this bug is coming from).
This happens only with HandcentSMS or also with your stock messaging app? I had the same problem but only with HandcentSMS, the thing was it'd still be sending the message out an everytime I hit retry I ended up sending a duplicate message. Eventually the notifications became annoying and I switched to ChompSMS, haven't had a problem since.
I'm assuming it's solely a HandcentSMS problem an you just messed with your stock messaging options to see if that was the issue? Let me know.
It's something with the early 2.1 update on the Eris, it isn't compatible with something in the app, I'm not completely phone savvy so I'm not very technical with my terms but you get the idea.
I started getting this...so just switch from handcent to another sms app?
yeah im using chomp, or you can just ignore it because the message still sends it just doesnt register with the app as sending

its not in the market on the 2.1 for some reason but you can go to http://www.chompsms.com i think it is and download it there
it's handcent thats the problem, but it IS actually sending the message, the app just doesnt realize it
ok, so i "fixed" it, sort of, heres how
i uninstalled handcent, rebooted phone, reinstalled, set all settings, *228 option 1, rebooted phone
works 98% of the time now, completely bearable, to me at least
i love handcent, the popup thing is the best thing ever in my opinion, chomp dont do it, so i really wanted to get handcent working right
happened to me with handcent as well.. wife got lots of dupes. I switched to chomp till handcent releases update

If you're talking about the popup when you receive a new message (with options to type a reply, open the message, call, etc.), then Chomp does have that capability; it's just turned off by default. In the settings, it's called "Quick Reply."

yeah, chomp does have it, i noticed though that i cant get it to make the messages private it'll pop up over the lock screen.
but if i miss the text an my screen goes off, its back to the lockscreen when i turn it on which is fine i prefer that, but it doesnt show the notification icon up top so sometimes i think i have no messages an wont even unlock the phone when i really do. maybe i overlooked the setting, but it shows up at first (the notification) and then its gone once the screen goes off an is turned back on

No LED notification for SMS messages?

Anyone else not getting a LED notification for text messages? Seems like I'm getting them for e-mails and whatnot, just not texts. Check options and didn't see anything initially to change it. Would I have to download Chomp or Handcent in order to get it?

And I get notifications but I'm using Handcent.
I get a flashing led in the upper right whenever I get a new text. Works for e-mail too.
Actually I just now noticed I get them but it flashes maybe 2-3 times then goes away. I'm so used to my Hero flashing constantly so I wouldn't have to unlock to see what I got.

facebook 1.5 chat notification

Does anyone know how to get push notifications to work on HTC Desire HD. I am using 2.2 and ticked all notifications in settings. I dont get any sound or vibration when I get a new chat message!!!
There are no push notifications on Facebook... Only check by intervall... But I can be wrong !
even i check all the settings but after i log out and log back in the settingd are back to default.
@OP
The Push Messages has been enabled in the latest version of Facebook available for download from Market. the Stock version of facebook doesn't support Push Notification. Guess this update cam out 3 days back.

@OP:
Didn't notice that you are already on 1.5. I didnt have to change a thing...installed and the Push Notification started working almost immediately.
Thanks

mine works all the time as well. i find it irritating so i might turn it off. latest version of facebook
It works intermittently on mine, hope they sort this out.
Also, does anyone else have the problem with the contact pictures/thumbnails disappearing? It's driving me crazy! I'm running the stock HTC ROM.

The new chat notification is the most irritating **** i've ever encountered. One notification is fine. 80 notifications after 3 minutes? No thanks! I deleted the update after a couple of hours.
Yes, i disabled the notifications in the settings, but that didn't help. God i hate it!
I'm getting the push notifications when someone commented on a post or replied to a post. It doesn't work for comments on videos though.

Dual SMS Notifications

I am having a right mare! I use Handcent, however I keep getting dual notifications. One from Handcent and one from the stock SMS App. I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.
I have even gone so far as removing the MMS/SMS App with root explorer and still they persist. It is frankly driving me mental. I want to keep ONLY the Handcent one.
Can anyone suggest anywhere to look? I am rooted with Pauls R10 Modaco ROM!
You forgot to disable notifications from the stock app settings which I believe are connected to but not accessible from the stock settings.

Same issue I had. I went into the stock messaging app, under menu, settings, notifications, unchecked the box. That worked for me.

As per the original title I have gone into the Stock App and settings menu from there and disabled them and they still pop up.
You actually did not mention that and frankly I'm inclined to believe that it is still the issue as there would be no other reason I can think of why they would be coming up.

On second thoughts I wonder if this is coming from Elsewhere
If I enable notifications in the stock App I get The smiley face symbol with sender name and message, Handcent notification AND a 3rd one which seems to be the problem one. This simply sats You have New Message(s) You have an unread message. Also when the SMS is read this does not go away either
So where the hell is that one coming from LOL?

I wasnt trying to be picky there! Please dont get me wrong! I meant first post which I did state about trying what you suggested from my first post a quote: I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.

You mean when you enable notifications you get a 3rd popup that is the smiley face in a chat bubble? What happens when you open the unknown notification? What app opens? And if its the stock messaging app, try clearing its defaults.
That is correct about the smiley face chat bubble. When the notification pops up it will open up Handcent. I have tried clearing the defaults as well with no joy.
i had this problem when i was using Handcent
so i removed it
now i'm using GO SMS, same as handcent but better, and it does not have the problem that handcent was having
i only get 1 sms/mms alert instead of 2 when handcent is installed

OK I will give that one a bash then see if it solves it.
No joy, GoSMS just crashes on me. I still get the message even after uninstalling Handcent as well with the stock App
