Sending text message progress - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I've searched around and can't find anything about this so here it goes. When I send a text message (this happens in both the default messaging app and handcent) the little spinning circle doesn't show up, so I have no idea when/if my message sent. I've looked around in both spare parts and the settings in the app it self and don't see anything about this. Does anyone have any experience with this, or possibly a fix?

Well I found out what the problem was, in case anyone else was wondering. It seems on the newest version of handcent if you're using the black theme the spinning progress circle after you send a text doesn't appear, but it works fine if you use the default white theme.

handcent 3.0 is up install that one has no bugs . this issue happens to 2.1 android not sure if happens to 1.6

Missing Live Messenger icon?

Now I seem to be missing the icon within MSN messenger that you click on to go back to the contact list once you're in a conversation window. It's the little green guy icon. It's just a blank space now but if I click it anyway it will still go back to the contact list but it just looks weird now with nothing there.
I know it's something I installed that likely made it disappear but after trying to remove all my hacks/customizations I only ended up screwing my whole phone up and had to restore to a back up to get it all back working again. All of my customizations are Anastasia theme related.
Anyone familiar with the app that causes this bug??

Handcent sms's bubbles cant be set to be white?

I'm having trouble setting handcent's sms message bubbles to white... For some reason, the text entry area and the message bubbles set to 255/255/255 are all yellowish. However, the contact names and other white elements are all normal. Is this a problem on handcent's side? Or is there something different w/ the way the amoled screens handle color?
Idk, I would switch to chomp ;-)
On another note, I had chomp installed until I realized that you loose th cool little feature of text notification on the lock screen, so I went back to the stock app for now.

Wait, whats this lock screen notification business? Is it as useful has the quick reply popup from handcent?
Edit: Its just a silly little notification that has no useful info on your lockscreen. =( someone needs to port the capitvate/vibrant lockscreens to the epic. Those seem really useful.

Phantom Notification Light

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.
mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.
Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.
maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?
yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.
and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.
I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.
Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.
To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.
I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.

don't get your hopes up. I upgraded from a Hero and it used what seems to be an identical light, it was hardwired to only use green and red, so no matter what software you use it wouldn't matter. Not to say something isn't different with this one, but just be prepared to have your bubble popped as I did the first time I saw those options in cyanogenmod...

Issues with blue steel and matted blue themes.

I installed matted blue theme earlier today and shortly after that I had installed the steel blue theme. I found I am having trouble with my gmail force closing and text messages sending and receiving twice. Haven't had any other issues thus far but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do.!? Do you think the problem could be that I installed matted blue and then steel blue, would that cause issues like that ? Please help its quite annoying

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail.
Did you have any text messaging widgets prior to flashing a different P-ROM?
I was getting 2 notifications for text messages, and this is how I fixed it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117208&highlight=solution
Might be of help.
I had the exact same problems. GMail wouldn't uninstall, but it was available to install again from the Market. I haven't fixed the dual SMS problem yet, but I bet I have at least gotten rid of the dual SMS notifications thanks to CaelanT. In the case of the Matted Blue Theme this was caused by the inclusion of Text Messaging when I already have Messaging. I saw in the Matted Blue thread that you could freeze it with Titanium Backup. I guess I probably need to go ahead and buy that if I'm going to keep installing P-ROMS and themes.
Ya luckily I had done a back up prior to installing any of these themes.....I started to worry when my phone wouldn't even load into the boot loader. I guess after trying it enough times it finally loaded. I am really glad to hear this issue is fixable though. Thnx again evveryone for the help

Notifications do not always clear

I feel like I am the only one out there with this issue, but it has happened with a whole slew of SMS apps, and on several different Rom's including stock. What happens is when I get a text message, and i respond to it in the quickly reply or heads up notification the notification does not clear unless I pull back down and either swipe it away or just pull down on the notification shade and put it back up.. I'm sure of this could be the App but not all of it..
Anyone else out there experiencing it? Or is it just some feature that is new and i hate.. ?
Currently I'm on OctOS 7.0 using Genie SMS app. But this has happened on just about every SMS app and several other roms.
FWIW problem resolved in 7.1 at-least on the pixel build with uberstock
