That's strange...
It is still in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms&hl=en
But it says it is incompatible with the Evo 4G and 3D. IDK about other phones. Maybe this was a mistake on their part?
Hopefully its some sort of maintenance or maybe some other big application purchased them. there should be word on it at some point
I know version 4.0 was supposed to come out soon.
Maybe they're renaming the app?
Just found this out too. Just flashed a new ROM and it wasn't listed. All the font/language packs are there, just not the app. Got an SGS2. I see it's in a couple other markets, but not the Android Market. Going to give Go SMS a whirl. Saw a few threads asking which is better and overwhelming response was Go SMS.
I noticed this earlier this evening... Hows Go SMS workin out for ya?
ive been using go sms for about a month and like it better than handcent, seems faster to me.
Think Ill give it a go and see how i like it...
You can always grab it from the dev's website.

Ive used Go SMS since 3vo came out and i love it... when it was unlocked, i have been flashing every week and love how GOSMS has an SMS backup feature
My biggest problem is when Im in the Gallery and want to attach a picture to a text, when I hit share, it rarely allows me to go to the stock messaging app. I vaguely remember that I could do that every time with Handcent... Does Go SMS show up when you click share on a picture?

GOsms is a lot better, I used to use handcent until I was shown GOsms, it's a lot better in my opinion.
I prefer Handcent because of the privacy features. I haven't found another app that offers the breadth of their privacy services.
Maybe it was removed due to some of the voicemail issues they were having. A friend of mine used to always complain that people would bring their phones in complaining about visual voicemail and it was always due to the Handcent app.
This is the email I got back from them this morning
"sorry,this is a temp issue ,we are contacting google ,it may fix in 3 days,now ,you can download from www.handcent.com temp,hope we can get response from google ASAP"

I've been using GO SMS & Launcher for over 6months. 1st on my EVO now on 3D. I love it.
Eh, I tried both, I still love hand cent much more.
I have handcent
I couldn't find Handcent on the market either so I used a backup I had on my SD card with Titanium Backup and it works perfectly...

At first i thought it was just swype, since that always acts up. Ever since I've had the phone anytime a picture is present in an sms thread, it makes the app go bonkers. It either freezes up, the keyboard flashes at epilepsy inducing speeds or the "soft" menu buttons that pop up flash as well.
I could normally make the problem go away by deleting the picture/media out of the thread manually by selection. Now it does it sometimes without any media being present. Basically if a picture is present, it either refuses to let me type or does so at turtle speeds.
I emailed HTC days after receiving the phone, but the help ticket went down the road of them trying to help me with my frustration of not being able to download .mpo files through the native gmail app, only preview.
I also took it to the sprint store where of course the phone magically started functioning properly when I tried recreating the problem for the tech (yay?), it only took a few tries to recreate the glitch, where she just did a wipe of the phone (don't remember if she did it through the recovery mode or "regular" wipe). But I shouldn't have to wipe my phone every time the stock messaging app starts acting up.
Ill try to get video of it happening tomorrow, it's 3:30am right now... Kinda late to be borrowing anyones phone for such things
Tl:dr stock messaging app acts wonky when media is present in thread
Is anyone else having this issue?
I think no one here uses stock sms app anymore. Gosms and Handcent are great replacements. Plus on gosms you can text from anyscreen, if your in the browser, your sms will pop up and you can reply from their without switching apps. Its very useful, give it a try.
I Haz 3D!
I use the stock SMS app. I like having the integration the stock SMS app has with the home screen and address book. Anyway I haven't had any of those issues the OP is having with the stock sms app. If it happens again try clearing the data for the sms app, that won't clear out your text messages.
Just tried it, data was only about 864kb anyway, problem persists. I dont have a ton of threads/messages in there clogging it up.
And I know about chomp and handcent, ive used them both. I honestly do like a lot of stock apps though, it's not from ignorance... I had a cm7 evo 4g.

I use stock without issue as well. I prefer it now over those apps. For popups I just use SMS Pop-up from the market. Problem solved.
Are We Not Phones?
We Are D3VO!
Are we not phones?!
3.DeE.V.O.!!
i too use the stock app. No issues at all here.
Im wondering if I should temp root and backup all my crap. Dont feel like individually downloading all these apps again if I take it to the store and all they do is wipe it again... If it comes to that and the issue persists, hopefully they swap it out.
My just puts all kinds of weird times on the messages like it'll be 1pm but the time stamp will be 6

Same here. And I'm not roaming. And also if I reply within the same minute the text came in my text goes above theirs in the thread, so it looks like I'm replying before they even send the text which obviously isn't the case... But regardless, I do love the stock app.
Just tried this it works. Basically log into Facebook on a Blackberry and get push notifications. I know we all hate Facebook works on android but if you want a notification instantly when someone contacts you, try this.

You should change it to "making facebook notifications work" I did that yesterday I though it was interested and for some reason so far is working, even tho i have been getting most of my notifications on my evo 3d already

Np man, my friend went to the sprint store to do it in a store demo and it worked lol

I read about this and thought about trying it. It's always annoyed me that I never got any facebook notifications, because I thought I was supposed to...ya know?
...but the more I thought about it the more I realised how irritating it would be to actually get all of my facebook notifications in my notification bar...and how much more annoying it would be to have a notification sound to go with it....and I don't even have a huge friend list...
Even though notifications was a huge problem with fb app, its still not that useful of an app compared to like bb or ios versions. Ive found friendcaster works way better nd always shows notifications and takes u directly to the appropriate place in the app. It does forward u to the touch or mobile site for a few things here nd there but overall way ahead of official app!

I like friendcaster a bit better than the standard app as well. Still, it could be much better.
Haha...this is funny because I posted these exact same findings on another Android site (the "Central" one) last Friday, August 5th and by Sunday the mods had tested it, put up a video, shot it to the front page and made a Sticky of it in the Applications forum. I can tell you that it works. Facebook for Android basically piggy backs on the Blackberry for Android permissions. There's approximately about 95% functionality with this. One of the things that doesn't work correctly for example are Poke notifications. You get the push notification but when you click on that particular one nothing happens. It's a very minor issue in my book.
What is this Facebook?
Don't worry guys, After Nov 5 Facebook is no more.

My recent phone history: BB Curve>BB Tour>HTC Hero>HTC EVO 4G>Samsung Epic>HTC EVO3D
I just checked and I still have the BB permissions on my FB Account Setting and I'm not getting push notifications.
I will try to sign in on a BB when I get access to one because I remember getting push notifications on my Hero when I had it, which was directly after I had the Tour.
Hi,
Please tell me how to get rid of the god-awful slow texting app that comes with this phone, and replace it with the stock android texting app.
Thanks!
Are you referring to the AT&T messages app? 'Cause the SMS app that comes stock works fine for me :/
Stock messages app works fine for me. If you have root you may be able to find differnt message apps, but my first suggestion is to give handcent a try as it is my go to sms app for when I'm having issues with cusom ROMs being buggy with mms. Its got a threaded look to it, much like iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhhbmRjZW50Lm5leHRzbXMiXQ..
It also has font packs and other stuff on the app store.

I far prefer GO SMS Pro, love the interface and features, but with all the third-party SMS apps I have an issue of double and triple texts being sent to people. I agree the Samsung SMS app is painfully slow. I hate using it, but it's my only choice because it doesn't send out duplicate texts. :/

Thats very odd, I've never got complaint of this. Have you googled the issue to see if there is a known solution or work around? As common as these apps are you can't possibly be the only one misfortunate enough to experience this. I have had issues in the past getting numerous notifications despite turning native notifications off for SMS, but thats an entirely different issue.
How do i replace the Samsung message app with the vanilla android one? The Samsung one is slow and is a failed attempt at copying iphone. The keyboard even blocks the send button!

Mostly I see people on ICS complaining about this issue, but there are several people on GB complaining about it as well, for both GO SMS and Handcent and a few others on Google Play.
I had the duplicate notification issue with Handcent - even though I had disabled notifications for the stock app AND frozen it. Didn't have that problem with GO SMS. Had an odd problem when I tried Chomp SMS, where all incoming messages were anonymous and upon trying to view them, the message couldn't be found. That even happened in the stock app, so long as I had Chomp installed. Uninstalling fixed that issue immediately.
But so far as I can tell, some people just have the problem, and most don't. I have yet to see a reply from any of the devs about the issue. I've tried completely resetting the phone to factory spec but I still got the duplicate message issue.
I really, REALLY want to use GO SMS. Although something else I noticed is that some people's messages were being sent to the wrong contacts... Perhaps I'll try the vanilla Android apk...
How do you try the vanilla android apk?

Thanks but I don't really want a third party version with ads. I don't get it...isn't there a plain messaging app that comes with android (like what was on the nexus one), or is it proprietary to every device? It seems like this shouldn't be such a difficult thing to install instead of the crappy samsung one. Am I missing something?
i'm surprised. the sms app is not bad i'm the note. I've seen worse. (though i am using the rogers version)
I'm coming from a rooted Inspire 4G (cyanogen) and I've noticed that the texting on the Samsung Messaging app is a bit sluggish. And some keys don't respond to my fast fingers.. Yet the app itself runs very fast (ie open app, open threads, go back, etc).
One thing I did was uninstall Swype through Titanium and I think I've noticed a difference in the keyboard speed. It may just be my imagination though

Other than the ones you've mentioned, Chomp is decent. It's not the prettiest, but it's pretty quick and functional.

I've only ever used the stock app and had a dumbphone before the Rezzy. What are you getting out of other sms apps that you don't get from the stock one? What am I missing out on?
I used to love chomp until the changed the quick reply popup from black to white background. Im currently using handcent and havent found a replacement yet. I didn't like go sms.

Better handling of large message counts, pop-up reply/compose windows, more customization features, etc. The pop-up windows are the biggest things for me...you can send, receive, and reply to messages without leaving the app you're in.

Oh, I like that... which one do you use?
I use gosms. I absolutely love it. It's way better than handcent. It has everything handcent does (emoji, pop ups, customization) and more like:
A very clean ui
Option for different running modes(i use lite mode. It has no addons and runs fast)
Emoji. I can't stress it enough. It has better encoding. On handcent my iphone friends had problems viewing it but on gosms it works great.
Private box. A locked in box where you can receive messages without people seeing them. I have all the conversations I have with girls in there.
Group chat. No need to download 15 addons or pay like handcent. All you have to do is go to send settings and turn on "mms group chat". Works flawlessly.
All around gosms is so much better. Don't bother with handcent or chomp.
Used to use Handcent then switched to GoSMS. Been using GoSMS for quite a while now.
seems like i might be sticking with GO. I don't dis-like it, but it seems even the "lite" mode is becoming bloated. I like the stock htc app except when downloading group messages or attachments it takes forever, unlike GO which would show up immediately.
Be weary of GO products. I noticed a while ago (when I stopped using them) that they seem to use a lot of data ... I wonder what they could be doing... And what data they gather... Anyway just sayin
I stick with stock aosp on cm9. I'm normally a go sms fan for all it's features but I hate how it's always running while aosp isn't. I personally think go devs implemented unnecessary services into it.

Well I would use AOSP but it lacks emoji. All my friends have iphones and holy s*** do they love their emojis
The stock version from the Ville C Sense 4.0 base.
Specifically, Nils' Business ICS 4.0...
Yea, I just use the stock messaging app. I also use SMS Popup to get the popup window with the quick reply, delete, etc. And if you really want emoji there are ways to get emoji in android with special font files. I dont care about them so its no big deal.
I'd rather have an SMS app that's not running nonstop since SMS apps with emojis have excessive services and such running. waste of battery when you aren't using it. even if go SMS is configured to not run persistently there's still unwanted crap running

You must not text much because everyone uses them and those font files are for them to show up in black and white.

Well you obvious don't know what your talking about because the reason why mine runs nonstop is to receive messages. If you uninstall stock message(which btw runs all the time ) you need to make sure gosms is the one receiving messages. Also it doesn't waste battery its like a 5mb process that runs in the background. There's no unwanted crap...

You can't really say that. I average around 1000 texts a month and I have never once received a single message with emoji. People I communicate with don't use them.

I do like stock except for the group message and attachment issues out gives me.
Sent from my HTC Rezound.
There is a REALLY cool feature I'd like to be able to utilize where the G4 pulls up your most recent contacts when you start to share something.
*see attached image* (names and numbers have been edited out for privacy reasons)
Only problem is, that even though my default messaging app is Next SMS if I select one of these recent contacts at the top. It still opens up "messaging" to send the message. Which actually is very limiting because it doesn't like not being default with MMS's.
Is there an easy way to change that behavior?
Thanks,

The app has to be made To use that function. It is part of stock Android. All my messaging apps use it. I can't say about handcent as I stopped using them a few years ago when the company when down hill and the app went to garbage.

Yeah unless you ran a logcat or people contacted you every time you didn't reply then you really wouldn't know. I used to use handcent until people started getting mad I wasn't replying. Then I looked into it and saw it was failing. It was a great app until it was sold to a China based company.
So, how do you turn off the row for messaging if you have a different app (YAATA) doing the messaging for you now?

It should auto replace the normal messaging.
As you can see from my SS
Hmmm.. mine is acting differently. I has two rows. One replaced, one didn't.
As you can see here, top row is YAATA, bottom is still "Messaging".
The more you use it the less they will be there. If you have root you could always freeze it or disable it. It could also be the device. I know some apps are making it annoying to replace the stock apps. Like Samsung devices.
