I just installed GO SMS Pro and it works great but the problem is that of multiple incoming text message notifications. The stock messaging application as well as GO SMS notify so I disable the notifications of stock application but on the lock screen it displays number of unread messages though the messages are read already. The stock messaging application doesn't recognize that the messages have been already read using the GO Sms Pro. How do i disable it? I mean the stock messaging application and its lock screen unread message count notification?
Go to the stock messaging app, settings and disable "automatically read messages" or something like that.

It is called auto-retrieve... seriously, did you take any time to really look at the options instead of forcing others to switch the language of their phone to English?

Probably only temporary... the only real fix would be to uninstall the stock app which will likely screw your MMS (in case you are using it). (There is some Go SMS beta for testing here @ XDA with more complete MMS functionality in case you are interested.)

Doesn't help, still shows the unread message count in lock screen.

As said in the quoted message. (And frankly not worth wasting the time, given how useless the lock screen is.)
Auto-retrieve is associated with MMS got nothing to do with the unread TEXT message notifications

Well, as said, it worked here, otherwise I would not mention it. Let us just abandon this topic since obviously there is no solution beyond the mentioned one which involves uninstalling the stock app. (Or installing a ROM with a useful lock screen.)
Install both handcent and go sms... only keep the notifications of go sms.. thts it u dont get any sms notifications on your lockscreen.!!
use only handcent sms instead of go sms pro. this solved my sms count problem on the lock screen

Hi,
is there any way to add a sending animation (like a progressbar or something) when you click on "send" for a text message?
Sometimes I click on sent and don't see if the click was working because the phone seems to do nothing. So I click again and this often causes the text messaging applicaction to crash.
Does anyone have the same problems?
maybe you should try enabling sms sent notification in the settings..........yes it may be sometimes annoying when sending to multiple contacts, as you get multiple notifications
no I don't want a notfication that the message was sent.
I'd like to have a notification that the message is sending, to prevent clicking on send again.
On my last windows mobile phone (samsung omnia) there was a little animation during the sending of a message. And i was wondering why there isn't anything like that on the HD2.
when using the htc messaging client, the message will move upwards into the space under the last message you got from the person your replying to, to show that it has been sent.........
i wish there was a way, would take away some of my worries about txting lol

Yeah I know, but this only shows me that it was sent.
But I'm looking for an animation or similar WHILE it's sending

Samsung has a very different software overlay than HTC does. You will not get this functionality out of Sense or Windows Mobile as default.
You might be able to get it by using a different SMS application (maybe check Freeware Pocket PC?).
Which do you prefer? And why?
I wanna know what y'all use.
I use GO SMS Pro 'cus it is a lot faster than Handcent, but there seems to be a limit to the number of characters you can enter in a text message.
Handcent lags a lot for me. It also delays the notifications by about 10 seconds. Though it doesn't have a limit to the number of characters that can be entered in a text message.
I'd also like to know if there's a way to remove the lag from Handcent... does anyone else have the issue..?
And.. is it possible to remove the maximum characters limit in GO SMS Pro..??
Thank You.
_peace_

Same problem with Handcent for me - lags like hell. I'm using Go SMS Pro now. It's very fast and i like the amount of things you can adjust. In combination with Smart Keyboard Pro it's the most comfortable messaging set up.
Go sms pro is better in terms of speed and functionality. So I prefer it over stock sms and other sms applications.
As for the character limit problem..... actually the limit for a single sms is 160 characters..... the limit is universal.... go sms just shows this and handcent dosen't.... it is infact a nice feature for people who don't have free messaging and want to see how many sms they are sending.

@anant I am not talking about the limit of 160 characters per SMS. I mean the limit that exists while composing a message in GO SMS Pro. Try copying and pasting a really long article from your browser & you'll know. Handcent doesn't have any limit regarding that.
I like to send real long text messages.

Same for me. Go sms pro + smart kayboard pro
i will definitely go for Go Sms Pro.
Just a week ago, my phone unable receive any sms. but i insert the same sim card in another phone, it does receive sms. i tried factory reset but the same problem existed. then someone suggested me use Go Sms Pro, this problem solved automatically.
regards your query, i think you can try this:
1. at inbox, press menu button and then select settings
2. select "send settings"
3. then check the "split large messages" box
your long message will be sent in mutiple messages.
Hope this can help you!
go sms pro.. the earlier version of handcent was good, but after some upgrade its become very slow and laggy..
Go sms is fast with >200 sms too

Everyone seems to be missing my point.
What I am saying is, there seems to be a limit in the number of characters(or alphabets) that can be entered in textbox while composing a text message. Whenever I copy and paste a long article(I mean about 33 SMSes long), I cannot type or enter anything beyond that.
Handcent does not have that limit. :-\

No offense, but why do you send so long messages as SMS? This is a total abuse of the technology. I am sure that you could send these in email, or you can simply send a link to that article.

Yea. You are right. But that is not always possible, you know. Not "all" of my friends use a phone capable of receiving E-Mails, neither do they have access to the net on their phone.
Plus, I find sending an SMS a much easier way to communicate.

True.
But, E-Mails are not as accessible as SMSes in this part of the world.

Exactly.... sms is more easily than email accessible and can be received by anyone who has a phone...... be it the very old black and white ones or the latest galaxy s2!
totally speechless. think u can use more short forms in ur long long article
Darn. There is a 160 character limit in Go SMS Pro? I'm tired of Handcent and was actually planning to shift over to Go SMS. I guess I'll have to put up with it for some more time
The lag is just unbearable at times :|

don't worry man..... use go sms it's better......
and as for the limit that is the limit for a single sms...... one single message cannot be more than 160 characters...... it applies for handscent also.... in go sms it is displayed that's it it makes no difference whatsoever actually!
I'm coming from an iPhone 4 & one of the features I loved about it is the emoji/emoticons (smiley faces in text messages) I can send & receive with other iPhone/iPod/iPad users. Are there any apps I can send/receive emoji/emoticons with iPhone users (in otherwords, cross-platform)? I've read Handcent should be able to do this but won't be able to verify until my GNote arrives later today & activate it. Also, whatever new MMS messaging app(s) I download, I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one? Thanks & looking forward to jumping ship!
GO SMS and then download the emjoi plugin and go sms is better the handcent. Handcent has a problem with mms at times cool little app but go sms is fast and easy to use.
That was helpful!

Yeah, I just read about Go SMS while using the search feature but didn't know if it could do emoji's. Thanks for the info & comparison, I'll download that! I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one?
The stock messaging app is called "Messaging". I believe that GO SMS (which I also really like and use) actually gives the option to turn off the stock messaging notifications when you first download and open it (at least I remember that for some reason).

Hi guys,
Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?
Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.
Thanks xda, keep up the great work.

Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.

I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON
Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works

I have been using this method, too. I wonder if Tasker could mimic the effects of Smart Alert?
I use Hangouts as my default SMS app in my Nexus 5.
No matter what I do, all the themer widgets seem to think I have 2 unread SMS messages. I don't.
Is there any way I can get the themer widgets to show the correct unread count?
I've had the same problem a few times. You do actually have to unread messages somewhere. You may have archive them or deleted them.

What RED said is correct, also check that it isn't showing SMSs from other accounts.

I noticed this as well. It seems to be due to the Android SMS Messaging app on my phone showing the message as unread even though my current default sms app (hangouts) has no unread messages. the only way I have found to clear the unread flag is to set it the original sms app back to default then click on the message and read it then set hangouts back to deafault. Or once I've determined which thread is the culprit (via opening the default app, then going to hangouts and deleting that thread it clears the flag. Not ideal, since there's a reason for keeping history, but it keeps my OCD nature of having an unread message from having a fit.....
I would be interested if anyone has found a fix for this as opposed to my work around.

Thanks for the update! We'll pass it onto our devs. For now we don't have a fix, but an update should be released this week that may help.
