I miss having the smiley button in the texting app. If you have a pop up for sms, the keyboard shows it. But in the app, its the enter key. Anyone know if there's a way to change that? Now I have to press menu, then smiley then click which one.

I have never like the stock Messaging App, and I prefer Handcent SMS. Works very well.

Thanks, but used GoSMS, Handcent, 8sms...etc...but sticking with the stock messaging. They tend to lag when you get a bunch of group MMS's. And I don't need all the other crap and have another app running. That's why I wanted it in the stock app.

I have this happen but not with text messages but rather with new email messages. The exact same thing happens as you say. I will open the email and it will go back to the today screen but once I press the email messaging button it will open up to that email.
If you say your getting this problem with text messages and you press the messaging button I'm assuming your not using the threaded sms hack. I'm using the threaded hack so thats why I don't need to press the messaging button to open new text but I do need to press that button to open emails.
I've never tried a threaded sms before, how is it, and can you post a cab or a link to it for me? thanks man.

Here is a link to start you off http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135927.
i'm having that issue as well, assumed it was the threaded sms for wm6 that i just installed. could be related to something else though as it sounds like you're not using the threaded app...
yep, count me in as well, that happens in both SMS and Emails
so did anyone find a fix, or solution to this? kind of aggravating at times. tia.
oh and medic or anyone else using the threaded sms, is it worth it to you all? can I remove it if I dont like it? tia again guys.
I have ContactCM installed and hav e the same problem. All in all it sounds like a bug in Windows Mobile 6 because I haven't heard of anyone on 5 having this problem.
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.
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.

I use to use 'SMS Popup' to have a popup box for txt messages where I could quick reply or dismiss messages. With all 2.2 roms it seems that this programs 'close' button no longer marks messages as read. Anyone have a favorite SMS addon that has a popup box with quick reply and dismiss kind of features?
I don't like Chomp or Handcent. I'd prefer something that doesn't take over the native messaging app but is just the pop up stuff.
Anyone use one successfully with our beloved Epics?
the close button marks read for me
Try "SMS Notifier".

somewhat related, if you use launcher pro, there are dock notifications you can use and assign to a swipe gesture on your dock icons. (menu, pref, dock settings, dock notifications; then long press dock icon, swipe gesture action)

Try Go SMS on froyo, I started using it and it works great. Also has the pop ups where you can respond
thx, will give it a shot. I actually tried SMS notifier and that didn't clear them either. I'm 100% sure I turned off the native messaging notification too. Maybe this is one of those weird glitchies that a wipe and flash takes care of? Trying Go SMS now... thx.
just noticed something weird and maybe it's a bug of sorts. When I text myself from an email account (which is how I've been testing) it doesn't seem to work. but when I text from a cell I think it works. Oh well, I'll either follow up with a dev or not : )
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.
