Small bug. When toggling the blacklist ON, I have to completely exit the app before the blacklist will show. Matter of fact, when I back out of the options after enabling show blacklist, I see no messages at all, until I completely back out handcent. Just throwing that out there. =)

I just downloaded the beta, and when I tryed to link my number it went through the countdown, but I did not receive a text. Is there a way to retry, or do I have to get it some other way???

Random Messages being selected?

OK so question.. Everynow and then, when I'm texting and I am switching from person to person.. if I select someone in my list of messages it opens some other random person.... IE if I have say 20 threads.. If I select message thread 3.. sometimes I will get lets say... thread 5 instead and have to close that thread down and reopen the proper thread and that time it will open the proper one... Any idea what could cause this?
[Android Software Development] esincho:
that's been going on for me, its not the beta

Hmm... could you give me all your device details?
[Android Software Development] gr4ce:
I have noticed that my email address is listed and can't change it or remove it, I don't remember authorising to display any personal details. Same with my phone number.

Is there any option to change/remove them or to disable the HCTalk service?

Will we get the ability to remove the swipe to Handcent Talk/services stuff in the conversations list screen? I personally don't plan to ever use them and it is just distracting and frustrating for me to accidentally be able to swipe to these

dont know what happens with my sgs with ics 4.0.3 Miu. i always get an FC when i try to open it. any help ??
[Android Software Development] miketwoms:
I think I know what you mean - this is just in the pop-up box, right? in the actual conversation thread it will download it automatically after a moment and display the text as normal.

I don't think there will be a way to get MMS content automatically in the pop-up window unless they change something fundamental about how that feature in the app works.

I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

at any rate, thanks Handcent for posting the beta here, and for a great app overall.
[Android Software Development] AndersonAirChris:
I hate that bug! It's been doing that since I started using handcent with my original hero. I hope one day they will figure it out before that gets me in trouble lol.

Beta 7 still the latest?

When in "Scheduled Send" mode, if I add an MMS to be sent in the future, and tap "Done" it saves. If I then go back into the scheduled task and change the text to go with the MMS item, the change is not updated.

Steps

1) From the main screen tap "Menu" then "Scheduled Tasks"

2) Create a new task. Attach an image, set a future time.

3) Tap Done. It will save and return to the Schedule Task page.

4) Tap on the task to go back to "Edit" mode.

5) Enter text in the text box to go with image.

6) Tap Done. It says "Successfully added task" and returns to the Task List screen.

7) Tap on your task again... Notice: Your text was not saved.

Hardware: AT&T Captivate

ROM: Apex 12.4

Just wanted to point out that stock SMS and GO SMS both have this same "issue"; It's probably some issue with the core Android framework if it's a problem in multiple SMS apps.
[Android Software Development] ggogolewski:
Hello, i have SGSII. After update firmware to ICS a messages are sent twice. This is on beta and normal Handcent SMS... I tested a GO SMS Pro and this bug is too...
[Android Software Development] coversnail:
I experience the same behaviour with the Galaxy S2. All messages are sent twice.
[Android Software Development] kulot:
Same here. With the stock SMS app and the Go SMS Pro Apk.
[Android Software Development] dstruct2k:
Great to know, but I don't think this bug is related to Handcent SMS, beta or otherwise, so perhaps checking your device's subforum might lead to better results.

Beta is running smooth on my Milestone w/ ICS.
[Android Software Development] Ognjen123:
I have the same problem but just with third-party apps , the stock mesage app. dont send it twice
[Android Software Development] RTP:
Only one problem but this was also present on 3.9 on my ICS SGS2. Exchange contact pictures show in Handcent but Facebook ones don't.

Thanks for a great app.

Any Update?

Any update on the iPhone-style Group MMS Conversation? I have this group of 11 guys who all group chat almost daily and it's getting very frustrating (only 6 of them have iPhones, so the other 5 of us get their responses, but we can't easily participate)!!! I can't wait to see this feature!
[Android Software Development] teh roxxorz:
Looks good, been a long time handcent user and decided to try go sms. Seems like they're trying to implement some of the features, which is nice.
[Android Software Development] Ognjen123:
Thank you its working good

This seems to be a problem with Facebook contacts downloaded using standard Facebook for Android app and applies to Handcent, Go SMS and Chomp SMS. I install HaxSync to download FB contacts, and they work fine.

[Android Software Development] nolageek:
Love the iPhone group message support, I'll check it out. I have to admint I've tried using handscent a hundred times. It's almost a great app but it just strikes me as having a really, really cluttered UI. Anytime I want to change a setting it takes me forever to navigate all the menus. (On the one I just downloaded clicking the main "Menu" button brings up THIRTEEN options. Jesus.) Maybe I'm old but I just get lost. Things like "About" and "Issue Reporting", etc should be in Settings. "New Message" and "Search" are both redundant as there's already a new message button at the top right and there's already a search button on my phone. I'm sure you could move some other items somewhere more intuitive. For example "Mark All Read" and "Delete Threads" are both batch functions but yet there's also a "Batch Functions" menu item. I'm not sure why "Schedule Tasks" needs to be a main menu item either - is anyone scheduling SMS message that frequently? "Undelivered" and "Delivery reports" should probably be somewhere else too (not sure where.)

Also, I would gladly pay a few bucks for the app if it didn't have adverts for Handscent's messaging service everywhere I looked. Even in the main screen if you scroll left or right I'm innundated with big glossy buttons and nags to "login to your handscent account." Let me pay to get rid of all those options. (I have an unlimited SMS/data plan, I have no need for it.) At the very least stick "Handscent Login" in the menu and if I'm not logged in don't show me all the options that I'm not able to use. (Privacy box?)

This isn't a dig because I like the app and it's popularity speaks volumes - I just think it could use some simplicity.
[Android Software Development] HoochieCoo:
You can pay to get rid of the ads. I did a long time ago.

I do agree it could use some cleanup and more up-to-date icons (too Sense-ish for me). I'm hoping for more skins that look less iPhone-ish too. There is really one one skin I can stomach.
[Android Software Development] gbrown2036:
I use the scheduling option all the time.
[Android Software Development] nolageek:
Where? I've gone through every setting (and there's a quadrillion different places to look so I may have missed it.) I do not want to sign up for handscent - I just want to use my own plan with sprint.

I tried searching in the market and I found 3000 skins and plugins but no paid version.

I'm sure some people do - but is it something that needs to be in the Main Menu?
[Android Software Development] HoochieCoo:
It's been awhile, but I believe I just bought the Silver from within the app. I don't use any of their services... I still use my unlimited plan from my carrier.
[Android Software Development] pinoymutt:
I've seen a few people ask this, and no response, and I'm now having the same issue.

Has anyone been successfully able to link their Phone # for TALK?

I notice when I go through the process there is an extra "1" in the phone number:

i.e. +1 (US) and then 1(areacode)XXXXXXX. When I try and correct it so it is just +1 (areacode) XXXXXXX, then I keep getting the following error message:

"Request error,please check the input" (exact wording and spacing).

Help?
[Android Software Development] williscool:
Hey Guys,

First off thanks Handcent for doing this. This has been a HUGE pet peeve of mine for a while us Android users didn't have this.

One thing though.

Can you guys also make sure there is a way to do both:

1) Group chat and

2) Send the same text to multiple people.

Some times you want to keep the individual conversations private just not have to type the same text to all of the people.

(Like if you are planning a night out with friends polling to see who wants to pitch in what.)
[Android Software Development] insanedreamz:
Hey, thanks for this beta release. I've been using handcent for over a year now.

Now I'd installed the patched version over the market version.

Few Observations/bugs:

1. I'd the Darkness skin applied since very long. The font was quite BIG in the settings menu. So, I selected HTC hero skin, which surprisingly normalized the font. But when I went back to conversation or opened any of them, CONTACT PICTURES WERE GONE ON BOTH PLACES. I just see the contact names only.

Tried different skins, but the display pic doesn't appear now.

Edit: Noticed that contact pics option gets disabled when I change skins.

2. Is the handcent talk working? I didn't receive the authorization SMS. Also there is some glitch in the buttons when trying to edit phone number from my profile. And was not able to select country later on.

Rest is yet to figure out.

P.S. I always wanted that swipe gesture. Great going. :cool: :P
[Android Software Development] insanedreamz:
+1 multiplied by number of options present inside the settings menu. I would say the same words as a addicted handcent user. Though I'm not old. :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] Magnus_CA:
Calcobrena,

I'm a long time Handcent user and I'm glad to see Handcent is extending a beta version to the xda community.

I have to question one design change in both the beta and now market ready version 4.0.0 software. Why oh why did you guys elect to move the New Message button from the upper left corner to the upper right corner?

I'm sure you had your reasons but why alienate your user base by changing key ergonomics of your software? The least you could do is provide a means to swap the quick settings button with the new message button but I don't see the option in any of the menus. If it's there I apologize but I scoured the application settings and custom style menus and came up empty.

I don't need to use the quick menu button and if I did use it would only be a fraction of the time I use the new message button.

I may be alone in this but I primarily do all my one handed typing with my right hand and it is much too awkward of a reach now. Please tell them to put it back and don't ever move it again.
[Android Software Development] Sideman7:
I have been using Handcent for years and just updated to the released version 4.0.0 on my Epic Touch 4G... What was changed that no longer allows me to send messages over 160 characters in length (I get "message not sent")? I've had to stop using it...
[Android Software Development] da__beast:
I can't duplicate your issue - you may have to provide some config settings - what do you have your "split 160" setting set to? it is in settings/send message settings.
[Android Software Development] Sideman7:
I have it set to "don't split" as I always have. If I change it to "simple split" it does work, but is annoying to look at in conversations, plus the old setting used to work fine, and still does in the stock messaging app.
[Android Software Development] da__beast:
Me too. Hmm... I don't know any other setting that might cause this. Interesting to see what caused this.
[Android Software Development] Sideman7:
Well, the one difference that we have is that you are on AT&T and I am on Sprint. The setting does say something about CDMA networks, but like I said, this was never an issue before...
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
Well The update seems to work great but had to go back to version 3.9.10. Showing both the contacts name and phone number not only was ugly but really kinda pointless.
[Android Software Development] Pons:
Not really. Some contacts for me have two or more numbers, mainly home and mobile. I like to know which number I'm texting.
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
I would understand that if you could text a home number. Thinking about it. Maybe they could remove the number but show the sub catacory that the number is stored under like Work, Mobile, Home, ect.
[Android Software Development] Sideman7:
Actually, I do find the number showing helpful. I have several friends who use both their regular number and a Google voice number. Before, it was impossible to know which was which (and it made a difference because you can't send a MMS to Google).

My home number is my Google number, so I can be texted at both home and mobile as well...
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
I could see that, Maybe an option to turn it off. Or for like i suggested to have the label show. Either way not a big deal as i can use the older version. The new version didnt really have any updates that mattered to me personally as i dont know anyone with an iphone.
[Android Software Development] varunsonu:
a message app that can save multiple drafts for the same recipient

Hi,

There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.

I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.

Here's why I'd like to have this capability:

If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.

Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.

Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:

Invoke the Messaging app.

Select New Message.

Select recipient.

Compose first SMS.

Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).

Select New Message.

Select same recipient as before.

Compose second SMS.

Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).

However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.

Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note?

Thanks in advance.

This issue still appears, even on 4.25 when popups are enabled. Really too bad this is getting ignored.

Hi all,

Is there an option to set a custom ringtone for incoming sms with letters instead of numbers?

Some companies i.e. DHL, WIND etc are sending sms notifications, based on letters i.e. "DHL", "WIND" with NO phone numbers. In other words, phone number is DHL, WIND !!!

In that cases, there is no settings icon at the top right corner in order to customize ringtone etc.

Is there any way to customize this type of sms ?
[Android Software Development] friend1:
Also I want to have just ONE sound notificaion per sending NOT per 160 characters.

When I send multiple texts i.e. 450 characters, I get three sounds which is a bit annoying. That means the the app is programming to send sound notification per 160 characters (or 70 if selected). I want to have just ONE sound notification (like iPhone's stock sms app).

Unfortunately I didn't notice any option to disable multiple sound notifications on multiple texts.

I have informed many times the company but noone did care.

Same thing with GoSMS as well. I believe that all extra sms apps are the same thing, except some different "paintings" at UI .

Which tweaks did you use and what option do you have set on the Supercharger? You could try lowering the Min too. Take it down to 250 and see how that does. If the doesn't work you can try overclocking more or dropping it lower than 1.4gHz.

try using option 5 in supercharger instead of 7, also check for redundancies in build.prop etc. (a friend had 4 entries of kak & SC in favorites and in build.prop) if you've ever updated the script. If its the same that mt burned into gv 1.3 you should be ok in that regard, however if you've ever installed other scripts/appkiller apps and so forth that affect kernal or memory settings you could be having conflicts. But to be honest I've had the screen freeze when it was stock and unrooted. I still have them but pretty rarely anymore.
