[Q] handcent sms - XPERIA X2 General

HI all
First post and owner of the x10 for a couple of days now.
Q I installed handcent for a quick sms reply function, working great but can I have it as the main sms service as I get the sms's in both this one and the original phone installed app.
Can I turn off one or the other?
Or is there another app that will work as I want it to?
Thanks

This is X2 not X10 forum... I would not know a thing from X10

SMS notification bug since update!

Hello
Yesterday I updated the new firmware and since several hours I have a really big problem.
Every second SMS does not have a notification, sometimes it vibrates but there is no notification in the statusbar. So I have to open the SMS-App to see if I have a new SMS.
This really sucks! Anyone else with this problem?

Your problem is to do with text notifications not working properly after the OTA update. The thread I have given you discusses problems about the notifications not working properly after the OTA update. You can just post in there about your problem instead of creating a whole new thread.
same problem here.
Got the same problem as well. And It's about every second sms or so. So damn annoying

it's not a bug with the firmware exactly, but rather the Messaging app. So if you download another sms app the problem will be solved. Im using Go SMS right now and no missed notifications yet. Just dont forget to disable notifications with HTC's app if you plan on getting another from the market, or you'll get 2 notifications for some messages
Yes - I also have this issue.

I have Go SMS too. Cant work out how to turn off notifications for the HTC app. Can someone tell me how...
Edit: Found it now. For anyone else, go to messages app - settings and disable all the notification checkboxes

GO into the "Messages" app then press the menu softkey, then press settings.
This is where all of your notifications are controlled for the messages app.

For the SMS problem use a non-stock sms app. Download GoSMS Pro or Handcent SMS. Do not uninstall the stock app but just take out the notification from stock app. I'm using GoSMS and it's better than stock IMO. You can for example backup your SMS to sd with it.
You could also try to use another dialer to correct the call problem. Go Dev team has also Go Contacts that provides you with Go Dialer. I'm using these also
For the contact thing. Have you tried to take off the Syncing of contacts from Accounts&Syncing?
Have you thought about installing a custom rom? There's nothing wrong with your phone, those are plain software issues...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
well i dont want to install any custom rom...ill spent a whole day in rooting it thn a new update is gonna be available very soon...thn again ill come to custom rom...that seems to b a complete waste of time...
I had the same issue with the contacts, but once I deleted the duplicates (and not transferring from the old phone since they were already backed up on my google account)
select to view and take off SIM contacts. clears up a lot of the duplicates issues.
Search sms time fix in the market, when installed set it to use phone's time.
fixes the issue. The new 2.36 ruu doesnt fix the time issue.
The DHD will try to merge all your contacts from all your linked accounts. I had a similar problem as HTC Sense for Facebook and Twitter will run alongside the Facebook and Twitter apps. You need to check sync to make sure you don't duplicate accounts. Remove the duplicate accounts could help your problem.

Quick Reply

Been a fan of WP7 since it was ported to HD2 but one thing keeps me away from it because of a missing feature - the QUICK REPLY option on SMS.
I really need that feature which would allow me to insert quick replies to all of my SMS with choices of SMS templates. I know that there are couple of Apps that would let me create SMS Templates but it wouldn't allow to insert sms templates as a reply rather it would create or compose a new sms with the pre-loaded sms template. I know copy paste would do but I'm looking for an easier way to do it.
Is there a way or an app that does this? I already did some research and tried some apps but i could never find an app or a way to do it.
TIA

Extreme Quick Reply
will allow you to get missing function such as messaging template which have been avaliable in the mobile phone for past years back in Windows Phone 7.
You can add or edit the exisiting template so that you can send quick replies to your friends via SMS or email.

Have you tried it? I tried that app already before and wouldn't do that quick reply in the middle of the conversation window (since most on my conversations list are anonymous persons/phone numbers only and they are not saved on my Contacts). If that app would work like that then I should've missed out how to do that feature.
I wouldn't be able to try that app out once again since I'm on Android right now, if someone would try it out for me I'd be grateful, if none, I guess i have to roll back to WP7 again
Anyone pls?

yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....
We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".
check it out

This better as you don't have to install a whole new ROM:

[MOD REQUEST] Remove Sms from Call Log

I've had he GS3 for a week now and I'm still using my GS2 because of the SMS in the call logs (plus other annoyances of touchwiz).
For the GS2 a mod was made to remove the SMS entries plus also display original time of sending, the ability to add more than 10 contacts and also disable the mms convert.
Is this possible for GS3?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure once more phones get in the hands of developers we'll start to see more and more mods and custom firmware. Remember the phone hasn't even been out a week!

Yes, but you will see sms logs again when you go to logs next time.

It's true. Stock ROM doesn't save the selection. You have to select "All Calls" every time you return to the log after a given amount of time.
So is this mod available by now?
