Has anyone else had an issue with their sms program showing multiple copies of every text message when applying themes over a custom rom? I am currently running Epic 2.5 and tried using the nextheme and the blackglass theme and got the issue with both. I even tried using handcent and got the same issue. I hope someone has a fix for this.

Click on the text messaging icon in your app drawer, then click on the menu key (the four windows button on the phone.) Choose Message Settings and remove the check marks from the Auto- retrieve and Notification options.

I'm having the same issue too... Epic 2.5, nextheme, and handcent sms... but in both handcent and the built in messaging app, I get 3 of the same text messages almost every time. I tried unchecking the auto retrieve and notification... no luck

go into your system/app folder and delete any duplicate messaging apps that are installed. That usually happens when the D2 message app and the plain android message app are both installed.

I see many people use chompsms and handcent application on their Hero. Why? I have downloaded the chompsms to try it out, but I had to check both applications to remove the "new message" notification in the status bar.
What is the advantage of applications like chompsms?
I can't say anything about ChompSMS or Handcent, because I don't use SMS enough to worry about using something "better" than the default app.
However, your first point was that you had to clear two notifications - in the settings for the standard SMS app, you can switch off notifications so presumably this is what you should do if you want to use another app for SMS.

It used to be on the CDMA Hero, that the default messaging app was buggy and drained our batteries severely. Anymore, it's a preference thing. Some of them have more features, a different look, etc.
For me, handcent has the advantage of a nice popup option built in and the ability to automatically resize pictures for MMS.
I use handcent sms because of the many settings-options you have and because of the blacklist function!
Standard app was just too.. standard
just installed Handscent sms, it looks identical to iPhone sms, lol.
SMS Popup is the best one I've tried.
I found the Handcent UI options weren't as sleek as the default app.
Was running handcent but when in landscape mode it crashes so switched to chompsms no more issues
i know i was reading it somewhere, but when installing a 2nd sms application like handscent or chomp, dual notifications occur.. is there way to remove that?
Go to defualt messages app. hit menu turn off notifcations.

Tried that and it doesn't work. I get both the Handcent and the envelope icon. It is getting annoying.

i receive a message & shows on the widget 1. after reading & deleting & delete in the drop down the 1 stays saying i still have a message ?
i installed delete old messages app & even going in there tap on 1 day it still says on my message widget 1 ?
if i drop the message widget in the bin then put it back on the screen it clears.
Personally, I'd recommend using Handcent SMS, rather than the HTC Messaging app. It's got a lot more features and the widget works properly.

yes that's what i'm using now.
Im having a problem where i get a message - and i read it - and then when i come out of it it says 1 message unread, so i go back into handcent or HTC messages and find i have 2 copies of the same message, but it is only with message from t-mobile or my work that are duplicated.
i am using the villian3.4 rom, and never had a problem on the original HTC Rom
Hi Guys,
I have had an ongoing problem with my phone for some time, persisting throughout different ROM flashes and full wipes.
I use Handcent SMS, and have notifications turned on, it's a blue icon.
I receive this notification, and another mysterious one from i don't know where.
The other one is white and displayed in the photo below.
One would assume it's the default SMS app that's displaying it, but...
I have most definitely turned off notifications in the default SMS application, and have no other SMS apps installed, just the default "Messaging" and Handcent.
Also, when i read the message, it doesn't clear until i manually "Clear all notifications". IIRC, i even removed the default SMS app and still got those messages, but i can't be certain of that as it was awhile ago.
Has anyone else experienced this, and know of a way i can fix?
Any help would be most appreciated.
The notifications appear as such...
"You have an unread message"
"You have 0 unread messages"

A bit hard to to be sure without a screen shot - try uploading it to imageshack and posting a link (you'll to need to change the link a bit such that XDA doesn't recognize it as a link).
Most likely it is the default messaging app, Please recheck that notifications are disabled there. If they are, you can also try to enable them, and see if you now get 3 notifications on each SMS....
Hi, Thanks for the reply =)
Interesting, I enabled notifications in the default sms app and now i get 3 notifications!
So i can only assume it's something else!
I have two screenshots...

This is a photo with the 3 notifications (if i enable notification in the default sms app)

Ok, so it aint the default messaging app. What happens when you press on the notification? Maybe it opens this app?
I guess this might be a little extreme, but you can always do a full wipe, and then do a clean install - verify you get only one notification with a clean install (no apps). Then start installing your apps and try to find out which is the offending app. If you do want to do this, I suggest you wait a few days, I should release a bugfix version 1.1.9 shortly.
BTW, there are easier/better ways to take screen shots, like "ShootMe" on the market, or the ddms utility which comes with the andoird SDK if you have adb working.

Looks like the stock messaging app notification. Disable from settings in the app.
already did that nogo
That's the stock sense SMS icon. Did you do a full wipe????

Check your handcent notifications. I think it has an option to use that icon for messages.
Also, when you pull down the notification bar, and select that message, what happens? It should take you to the app causing the notification.

takes me to stock txt app and with default and handcent notifications turned off it still comes up did full wipe... its not there guess gotta install apps one at a time see which one is causing it
BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS PACK 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! found it
As the title said, just recently, and for no discernable reason, I am not getting text messages. However, because I had turned it on in GoSMS (the sms app I am using), I can see the text come in, and actually read it as it scrolls in the notification bar. I can even go to the messing app and reply without any problem, at which point, I start seeing the messages from the other person. But that is the only time I see messages...when I am in the app.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? I deleted the stock messaging app at one time maybe a week ago (to try and avoid multiple sms notifications), but I have since extracted it from a backup and reinstalled it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
