Messaging glitch - EVO Shift 4G General

I know its been addressed before about the glitch where the screen jumps to the top of the messages (sms) when the slider keyboard is out. But I was wondering if its a software or hardware glitch. Is it possible that the vibration motor causes some interference with the screen and causes a jump?
Just my input, would love some feedback

Not even 2mins later I found that to not be the cause, its when you are pressing a button on the keyboard and you receive a new message

Oh yea should have added that, I'm using MikShifted G. But I've noticed it in every rom I've used

Thats why I use GO SMS......even in my modified version with the 3.0 messages it still jumps around.......very annoying

so 3rd party messaging apps don't have that glitch?

Nope......just the Stock HTC version.....I would like to intigrate the Stock Vanilla Messaging app inside the ROM......but i'm pretty sure the HTC one needs to be there

Keyboard missing letters

On froyo dk17, did anyone notice that when you use the slide out keyboard, sometimes it misses some of the letters you're typing? Anyone else?
On stock rom, my keyboard is fine...

out of curiosity..can you disable swype and try again?
It appears that disabling swype helps the issue but does not completely fix it. For those of us that type quickly it still misses letters, just not as often.
Yep, swype is disabled, thanks

How well do you like it?
I noticed the led isn't flashing with it.
I'm a big fan of handcent- been using it for the past year. I love the customize options it offers.

I have used it for quite awhile and really like. I also liked how you could set you default messaging to it on eclair, however have noticed on the Froyo builds it doesn't give me that option (ie... click on stock messaging app and it will open handcent). I also like the customizations that you can do for each contact along with custom notifications for each contact.

my led flashes using handcent. I really like handcent especially for the popup notifications.
I have been using handcent on my last 2 phones. I have never had any problems with it and I love the high level of customization options.
Used it and liked it a lot. I had to ditch it, though, because when my automated work pager would send out texts, it would show two. No idea why, but it was a Handcent issue.
Big fan of Handcent. I really like the popups. Been back and forth between Chomp and Handcent but have been sticking with Handcent.

I was able to set it as default for messaging icon and swipe to text on call log. Using launcherpro btw

I absolutely do not. I don't see what the point is. Tried it and went back to stock Messaging app. Nothing there for me.
Stock app wastes a lot of space with user pics. Plus limited config options.

Tried it and hated it. Never liked the bubble style messaging. I like the stock better, just seems cleaner and easier to read.

Handcent is great. You can change nearly everything, including the chat style. Chat bubbles are not the only option. There is a style that is similar to, but better than, the stock app. The mms shows up in the chat screen unlike the way the stock app does a stupid slide show. Handcent also backs up your mms, even allowing you to select the back up directory. The popup chat window is also very nice. The ablility to respond so easily is extremely useful. At first, the number of config options is overwhelming.
I use launcher pro plus on my phone. I had handcent on my evo and now on my epic. It is far superior to the oem app on both phones. Remember to disable the notifications in the stock app so you don't get double notifications. The nice thing about launcher pro, other than being much better than touchwiz in every way, is that you can set handcent to default for messaging. This completely eliminated the use of the oem app.
Epicly posted using the xda app!
+1 for handcent. Its rad! Something you don't like? There is a config option to change it more than likely.
Only beef is the outragous $6 price for pro. So many options to reset every flash. Fixed this with mybackup pro data restores.

I've tried both but prefer ChompSMS. Look into both, they're very similar.
My wife and I both love it!
It is just so customizable. The free version has worked fine for our needs.

After seeing the advice about the settings, I'm sold on Handcent now. Takes a while to deal with all the customization in there but now that I have it looking more like the stock without the bubbles and white backgrounds it definitely is nice. The pop up on the lock screen is nice, and so is being able to select recipients instead of having to type their names. Way more features than stock.
I've use Handcent on any Android phone I've had and love it
Is there a way to set this as default when clicking the Messaging app in the dock on touchwiz? And I don't mean opening messaging then composing from handcent.

if you do use GVoice, just uninstall the default voicemail client with titanium. That happened to me.

Home Screen has to reload every time?

Every time I click home, I get the loading and the screen takes a minute to load up. Its not too long, but its annoying enoug. Does anyone have a solution? Thanx

Get rid of Sense launcher. Use LauncherPro, ADW or GoLauncher.

I'm on CM7 so I don't have Sense anymore. When I did I would get that loading screen frequently. Not sure about the Desire port fixing it but if you haven't tried it yet and like Sense then you should def give it a try.

I just flashed desire z rom, the problem is gone. I am glad because I love sense, and its got lots of compatibility and skins and bhtc account. Its amazing but stock is still bad

That's not really a solution.
I never had that happen, ever, on any sense rom. Sounds like there is a lot going on in the background.

I disagree it's not a solution, it is a possible solution. It's a round about way of saying that the launcher itself is slow loading, and that a different launcher will alleviate the problem.
You're assuming the launcher is slow loading for other reasons then that it just is. It certainly won't hurt to try a different launcher and see if that fixes the issue the OP has.
I am an app dev, not a hacker but i noticed between dz software and shift software, the same loading screen happens whenever you change themes. So many htc took a shorcut and made the launcher occasionally reload the sense "theme" i would not know how to fix this in the stock roms but, thats information i do have.

Could be that you just have too many widgets on your homescreen that it reloads every time you press home.

Text message notification sound delay

What's up guys...
I'm on ota 4.1 jb, rooted....with go launcher, go SMS
I'm experiencing this super stupid problem. I always have vibrate on, and also sometimes i have ringer on as well.
I get a text message: phone vibrates instantly, 2 second delay, then phone makes the sound.
Any idea what's causing this? I would love for simultaneous vibration and sound lol. The sound is a stock sound so i dunno why it's being so problematic

Irrelevant: I used to use Go Launcher, but when compared to Nova and Apex, I found it overly bloated and much slower than its competitors.
Relevant: I also used to use Go SMS and occasionally a buggy update would be released that caused a myriad of minor issues including not receiving or sending messages (which is why I'm back to using stock sms). So it's not out of the realm of possibility that GoSMS is causing your delays. Have you tried using the stock SMS app to see if you experience the same issue?

I froze my stock text messaging app and never really used it...i don't feel like unfreezing it just to test....i guess i will consider it because it could be go sms's fault....those Japanese bastards!
Anyone other ideas?

I more meant it as a testing thing for solution. If you don't like the stock app you could always try another 3rd party sms app to see if you experience the same issue.
