issues with handcent sms?

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

handcent symbol
when i get a text still getting 2 symbols coming up one hancent one from messages turned everything off apart from handcent ....i give up

my one is working fine, will post my settings up soon. it might help

Post some pics from your phone with the text messages... I can't really say what they are, unless someone is sending you anonymous text messages?

I had this for a while (also on Orange, stock ROM) and did manage to get rid of it - problem is I can't remember exactly what I did as fiddling around so much!
I think it had something to do with a missed call or voicemail message. Try deleting an entry (or entries) from the call history with a similar time stamp to the sms message.
A

A further thought - using the built in message app (not handcent etc) press menu - settings - Manage SIM card messages and delete from there.
One of these methods sorted it out for me but this was weeks ago...

Hi folks.
I get these Anonymous texts whenever I have a voicemail (on Orange UK, generic HTC ROM). I think that when you get a voicemail, the signal from Orange to say that you've got voicemail comes as this anonymous text and lands on your SIM (and triggers the voicemail icon on your notification bar).
I'd delete this text only to find it reappear every time I restart my device. The only way to get rid of it permanently is (as AjUK said), go to Messages>>Settings>>Manage SIM Messages and delete it from there.
I guess turning off Voicemail notifications would sort it, but I'd rather have them and live with the hassle.

It's literally just a text with an 'Anonymous' number but it doesn't have any text. Usually get them after flashing a new rom.

Unknown text notification

ok so when I woke up this morning I had a notification that said I have a new message so I checked it but the notification would not go away unless I hit the clear button.. n when I get a new text message, it comes back along with my sms popup notification.. so I'm really confused.. this just started out of nowhere.. I have notification turned off in the system messaging app n even when I turn off sms popup notifications, I still get the notification..
it just says
New Text Message
You have one unread text message
anyone have a clue as to what I can do without having to reinstall android?
currently running
Energy SenCity WinMo Rom
MDJ 2.2 Clean Android Build
Radio 2.15.50
thanks in advance

never used it but just checked and turned off IM notifications then sent myself a text and still got the notification

That sucks. I had a similar problem with the keyboard vibrating when pressing a key. I would turn it off and it wouldn't turn off, now I have swype and it doesn't do that.

Glad you got it sorted but in future this should be posted in the Q&A forum, it's not a development thread.

Voicemail icon stuck?

My voicemail icon keeps coming back randomly even though I have nothing in my voicemail box. Does anyone know what causes this? It's getting reeeeeally annoying!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Is it just saying you have a voicemail or is there another message displayed when you drop down your notifications?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

It's saying 'New Voicemail' but there isn't one. Not rooted, no ROM, totally stock.

Not sure about that issue. I know I would get the icon and it stated inbox full if I had less than 100MB (maybe 200MB) of available space on the phone. I had to go through everything and figure out what I really needed on the phone and get rid of the extra junk (thanks Amazon).
You might want to try dialing into your voicemail and see if there is actually a message that visual voicemail isn't downloading. I had that happen on my G1.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Nope, that didnt do anything. This is so annoying. I dont want to have to hard reset over this.
Anyone else have any ideas? Something occurred to me just now. I remember I created a voicemail message by accident by calling my phone with Google Talk on my laptop. I then deleted the voicemail in Google Voice on the laptop. But I'm wondering if MAYBE the message was deleted but the notification was still sent out from Google to my phone and got stuck there when I deleted the message online.?? That make sense?

This happened to me once a long time ago (back when I had a measly Nokia dumbphone). It had something to do with my service provider's network. From what I can remember, which may or may not be accurate, is that the voicemail icon is turned on/off by an unseen sms. For some reason, my phone wasn't getting the "off" sms or something. I ended up calling my service provider and then they sent something across the network that sort of reset that. No idea what they did, but it worked.

Go to <settings <call and click "Clear voicemail notification"

I had the same problem, and this worked. Thanks!

I had the same problem recently. I grabbed my wife's phone and left myself a message, it fixed it.

Done. Fixed. My wife called the phone, left a new message, we deleted it and the notice hasnt come back.

No voicemail notifications

I am on O2 network in UK. I have no idea if I have a voicemail as I get no notifications or icons anywhere in the OS. I just have to randomly call my voicemail once a day to see if I have any messages.
Anyone else? How can I fix this. Am running Mango beta 1.
