I have a question regarding using second party SMS/MMS messaging program.
I have and like Handcent much better than the stock messaging system, but the issue I am having is that once I view the message on handcent, I have to go the the regular messaging program and view it there to get rid of the notification.
Is there a way to turn off the stock messaging system so that only handcent comes up?
Just go into stock messaging and turn off the notifications.

Thought I had, but went back in and realized I had not. Thanks for the response. Serious blonde moment going on here.

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.
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.
Hi, is there a way to get the phone to wake when getting a text message or MMS? I miss so many messages when my phone is on vibrate and sitting right next to me on my desk since I cant see it turn on if I get a message.
thanks
Handcent does that, don't know about the stock app.

my stock sms is acting really stupid! i have always used handcent sms as my main sms app and turned off the notification settings in the stock app as to not have double notifications. soooooooo today i got a text and the stock notification pops up and sounds at the same time as handcent. i went and made sure the settings in the stock app didnt revert back to default and everything was unchecked and greyed out!!!! i also noticed that when i open the stock sms app, it no longer shows my contact icons, it just looks really bare! i tried to freeze the stock sms app using titanium backup and still the same results. any ideas on what i can do to fix this? i really dont want to have to factory reset(if i do then i guess that gives me a reason to finally flash a different ROM)! thanks in advance!
I have my default messaging app setup to use Textra but ever now and then I get text that come through on the LG messaging app. Is there a way I can stop that from happening?
I use Textra as well; I just disabled the messages app and have had no problems.
App Settings>Messages>Disable

Thanks, I can force stop the LG messaging app but it's not letting me disable it.
Confirm Textra is set as default messaging app. Sometimes a setting doesn't stick.

Might help to clear the cache in the Textra app and the stock messaging app, and then reboot.
I use Textra as the default app and this just started happening for only one sender I get his notifications in the default Android app which I cannot disable. All other message senders come through in Textra

It could be a bug.
Perform any updates and if the issue still persists, do a factory reset.

What could very well be happening is that that sender is sending you RCS messages. Right now textra doesn't handle them but the stock messaging app does.
To deal with this, go into the messaging app settings and turn off Advanced Messaging (not sure of the exact option name). This way your phone will not advertise itself as being able to accept RCS and the other person's phone will know to send you regular old sms.
