Handcent or GoSms - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use to use GoSms but I had a problem with mms sending.
Switched to Handcent And fixed the mms problem.
What is the best sms app for you and WHY??

Handcent hands down. Been using it since before I was rooted.
Easy to use, spell check, customizeable, batch mode...

It was a tough choice but I had to go stock because both had problems of there own but if I had to pick again it would be go sms for their interface design

I like Handcent for the customization factor and easy to use UI

I used to love handcent. But it was laggy to me... Just wasn't fluid. Tried out go sms and loved it. Sleeker look and much faster IMO. Not as customizable as handcent, but I'd say its 80% there. I love it!

[Q] Quick Reply

Anyone know of a way to turn off the 'Quick Reply' dialog that opens for incoming sms? I use Handcent, so I never use it.
There's a quick reply dialog? Damn how do toy turn it on? That would be handy lol

It turns out that the quick reply dialog is part of handcent, and can be turned of in settings.

Text messages getting deleted

I'm not rooted yet but I've been having issues with my Mytouch deleting all my text messages every week. I was originally using handcent then went over to using GoSmspro and I'm still getting the same issue; even after fling a master reset and swapping to a newer Mytouch. I can't inside what the problem could be. Insight?

In the stock messaging app... not Gosms pro hit menu button setting uncheck delete after 200 message or so.

That was already unchecked but I checked it and unchecked it again.

There is potential for the messages database to become corrupted and all stored messages disappear, however this is a bug in the android os itself and is not for specific phones

[Q]converting to MMS after 5+

texting over five pages, my phone automatically convert the text into a mms which is stupid because what if the person on the other end can't receive mms due to service charge. I check the setting in found nothing about sms converting to mms . Is there a fix to this? Or do I have to spilt the text into two

Not to be an ass, but why would you even be texting 5 pages in the first place? If you typing so many pages you should calling instead.

SMS Application

I'm looking for a texting app that's good with MMS emojis for like the iPhone where I phones can read. A pop-up notification for texting back quickly? Any suggestions I'm open for pricing, it doesn't matter?

Go SMS or Chomp SMS will work. Both free on the Play store.

Handcent SMS is a very good one.
G0 has worked well but I think for some reason the devs don't like it.

I personally love sliding messaging pro. Modern, simple, and different
