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

At first it was only working for emails for me version 2.1
Then when 2.1.1 was released I installed that and everything now works.

How does one get the LED light to work on this phone? I have the handcent messaging and my LED won't work at all.

there's not LED per se on the phone...
you have to download NO LED from the market, put the widget someone on your screen and tap it to turn it on, its on when you see the colors in the box, then go to settings and turn on for sms... not sure how it will work with handcent....
sms / gmail / missed calls work fine on mine
oh and once you install the app, you need to reboot your phone to get it working

So the sms notifications have started working intermittenly for me with a lot of force closes from the app. I'm rooted, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Google voice sluggish notifications

How many of you guys use Gvoice as your text messaging client? I just ported my number over to Gvoice a couple weeks back and I dont know if its tmobiles 3g but it doesnt update and notify me of new messages right away. If i reboot the phone I will then be notified of a missed call and voicemail or sms.
I though after the 2.3.3 update it would be fixed because of that whole sudden loss of data but it just happened again today.
Anyone have a similar issue?

Make sure you have background synching on and.... you have it set in the voice settings so everything goes smoothly.

Ok cool, thank you!

I see this sometimes on the nexus one. Not always though. Usually voice texts and messages come right away, and sometimes they are delayed. I have to go into Google voice, hit refresh, then they all come thru. Guess its a bug.

Im on constant edge when not at home and keep auto sync off and background data on. I still get them all on time.
I love free texting!

If your signal strength indicator is green on a Nexus S, then you have a C2DM connection with Google's servers, and can receive push notifications. If it is white, then the connection is dead, and your notifications are being queued.

NO notifications when receiving texts. anyone else? solution?

My Evo Shift frequently does not make a noise or vibrate when I receive texts.
I checked the settings, and even send test texts from other phones.
Sometimes it rings/vinbrates, sometimes it doesn't.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues?
Is there a fix?
Thanks.
FYI: I did a search of titles under "texts" and "notifications" and got zero results.

Odd question: did you choose to do the GVoice integration with your account? I noticed when I did the integration that text messages were interrupted by Google Voice and not sent directly to my phone. I fixed it by checking a box that said send text to the phone or something along those lines in my GVoice settings. I only found out that was happening because I had their app on my phone still. Otherwise I would not have received any notification either.

Thanks for the repsonse.
No, I did not set up Gvoice Integration.

I've noticed that sometimes if I have the messaging app open when I lock my phone it won't notify me. pretty annoying. Not sure if it's the same problem on your end but mine has done it on every Sense ROM I've tried. I haven't ran any AOSP long enough to notice if they do it as well.

My wife has been complaining of this lately. Myself I haven't had it happen to me, but I use Handcent.

I have the same problem. I have GV installed, and do not get any sound/vibrate when receiving texts. This is a also a problem with voicemails, as i get a text saying to call a number. When i call it tells me to setup my voicemail (its already setup). If i dial 1 from dialer, it goes to voicemail per usual. Is GV causing these problems? - thanks - Viperspike

Wow. I don't even get voicemails. I switched to PF something that is a visual voicemail because my wife was pissed as hell I "ignored" 3 calls. They never even showed up until i called the voicemail number. Same issue with texts.... Anyone have any ideas?

Try using handcent or upgrade to GB 2.3.4 the messaging app in 2.3.4 is a lot better especially with notifications.

[Q] Not getting voicemail notification

Hi,
Hope someone can help, I am running the Offical EE03 posted by k0nane and so far love the rom but running into a couple of errors and wondered if anyone had any thoughts
First problem and maybe the only important one, if i get a voicemail my phone does not notify me nor does any show up in the Voicemail app. Only way is to check the voicemail manually but sometimes i don't realize that I have a voicemail for days, even weeks. If anyone knows a way to initialize it I would be appriciative.
Other problem I have found but not nearly as pressing is I can't be heard if I use speakerphone or a headset with a mic, I can however use just regular ear buds leave phone in lap and they can hear me just fine

Why don't you update to ef02? That may help. You are still using the first GB leak.

Was having this issue on everything above ec05 as well.. might work for ya
turn off wifi turn on 4g
send a vvm to [email protected]
it seems that it doesnt know where to go on 3g, and CANT go on wifi but on 4g it connects and activates and provisions fine.

Thanks, guess i'll have to install new version cause it worked and it also didnt, it notifies me that there is a message waiting but VM app can't download it

Having the same issue with EF02. I tried the activate email address but I just get the message that voicemail failed to provision.

through a bit of googling it appears to be related to using a non stock messaging app. I'm surprised more people aren't reporting it. It caused some major problems at work today for me.
Apparently Go Sms Pro has a toggle to make it only handle incoming messages but it's not where it's supposed to be (Settings-Receive Settings).

Using stock Samsprint bubble mms and no go. /shrug
Didn't know mms app handled the activation voice mail response.
If I get some time will test the aosp mms app. See if that makes a diff.

Hmm, yeah I'm on Bonsai EC05. This has to have something to do on Sprint's side.

Ok, for a few users it appears to be related to new settings in Handcent and Go SMS
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/305100#305100
For Go SMS users the July 1 update has a setting that automatically disables the notifications in the default messaging app. You can find it under "Receive Settings"
After you've disabled it try composing a voicemail to yourself and all the remaining ones should download.
Those on stock, I'm still not sure what's causing it but maybe try composing a voicemail to yourself and see if that fixes it?
