For some odd strange reasons, my text messages are coming in with with the pop up notication from handcent. They scroll across the notifivation bar as they should. But when I go to to the text messages, its not in their thread. Its in a thread from UnknownAddress and it displays a blank message there.
If I go away from my pop up, I wont be able to read the text message at all. The drop down notification window shows new blank text from UnknownAddress
I provided a picture for visual referals.

In the stock messaging app. If you touch and hold a message in the conversation you have the option to lock a message....however all it does is put a lock icon at the bottom of the message. I'm not noticing any other difference. How exactly does it work other than maybe tagging messages and still making them visable?

this is just to lock the message so if you delete the thread the message wont be deleted. It isn't to lock the message so no one can see it.
For that check out ChompSMS (not sure if handcent can) but with chomp you can go to setting->security pattern lock, and turn it on, and set your pattern. I think TigerText is on android now too
I've tried chomp and hand cent however I've had probs with mms . Thanks though

Your best bet if u wanna lock messages is App Protector Pro.
seems like there was one called cheatalot. something like you would launch the calculator, and shake your phone and it would open the "secret" texts or something.
I know there must be an easier way to begin composing a text message but have not figured it out.
Currently I have this set-up:
The native Motorola message widget is on the home screen
To compose a text I:
tap Message widget
tap "Go to Messaging"
tap "Text Messaging"
tap "New text message"
Then I am able to begin my text input.
Any thoughts on shortening this procedure?
I erased the message widget from my home screen and put the stock text message app short cut in place of the message one.
So I tap text messages
Then tap new message
Then type text

I use launcher pro and handcent messaging, so on my dock I have the handcent app docked and use the swipe feature to start the "quick compose" feature of handcent to start a new text message. One swipe and I'm on my way. Love the set up.

Edit: Nevermind found how to do this. Thanks for the tip!
I like the fact that my iphone wakes up with new text messages and emails, with a pop up that shows the email summary or full text message...is there an app in the android market that does this..
i have found pop up notification apps, but they just show that you have an email, doesnt show the email summary or full text message in the pop up...

Go SMS pro has pop-up
I've already tried a variety of SMS apps such as GoSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS. I'm looking for one now that can handle group chats, MMS, and emoji. GoSMS is too bloated with unneeded features, Handcent is kind of ugly and Chomp hasn't supported group chat for me very well. I'd stick with the stock messaging app, but I hate motoblur and after the OTA update to Jellybean, I seem to be stuck with that until a root exploit is developed.
Input appreciated!

I am searching for an app that opens the screen every time I recieve an message. I already tried "SMS popup" but the app is very buggy, I always get double messages and it interfere with viber. I dont want to press the power button everytime I get an notification or message, it is quite annoying
i use chomp sms with emoji add on, it's fine i guess. What i still want is an app that incorporates the emoji keyboard, has pop-up notificatiions when i receive a message, and handles group messages like the iphone(i know, im sorry for mentioning it) anything like that?

Handcent SMS
Go sms
Been using Go SMS for the last week or so. I like it. It gives a lot of flexibility and customization. As well as doing a pop up notification for new messages
I ended up finding a themed mms.apk and pushed it to /system/app and changed permissions to make it work with the ROM I am currently running. I prefer the Google Stock mms.apk to Verizon's Motoblur anyday. I just thought that Chomp was too simple and Handcent/GoSMS were too crowded with unnecessary features. Thanks for all the input!
I've actually tried some of the most common ones, like Go SMS, Pansi and so on - but the one I like the most is Chomp!
Only the paid version is ad-free - but it really is worth the money! Simple SMS app, with alot of customizing - and no slow-down extras (I'm looking at you, go-sms). And it does support full emoji, including the new ones with only one button.
Try it - I was amazed : )
(oh - and the pop-ups can be enabled in settings btw... )
I must be one of the few that hate pop-up messages
No - I actually really HATE those pop-ups myself - So I've deactivated them in Chomp!
Sliding messaging, give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5rbGlua2VyLmFuZHJvaWQubWVzc2FnaW5nIl0.

Yes and you can turn them off in settings.
I can recomend Handcent SMS.
Does anyone know if there is someway to modify the stock sms app so when everytime u get a message the phone unlocks and u can reply? I know there is sms popup and I have been using it for a very long time now but the app is very buggy. I get duplicate messages all the time so its very unstable. I like the stock sms app but everytime I receive a message I need to unlock the phone and drag down the notification bar. Any other suggestions?

I have been using Handcent for a few years now, my only consistent complaint has been that it runs like it is a huge program and has slowdowns.
