I have a Desire HD with S-OFF every thing worked well. I have done the last OTA update (1.72.405.3) and now my phone is randomly rebooting.

Do you have any idea about this? What can i do?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostyeo:
Hi fellow DHD users :D Just want to know if there are any fellow handcent SMS users here, and i wiould like to know if using handcent sms would cause my battery to drain faster? because is the phone technically receiving double notifications/msgs as the stock messages app is still running? A little concerned with my battery, though handcent is much better than the stock.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahnikhil:
Turn the notifications off in the stock sms by going to settings,and uncheck everything in receive notifications.. Hope that helps..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I use handcent. I backed up the stock messaging app with Titanium Backup, then uninstalled it.

I've not noticed faster battery drain since using handcent.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quark_star:
Been using Handcent for a long while now on my Hero with no problems. Just prefer the variety of available options. Will also be using it on my new DHD.

Wouldn't have thought it would drain the battery any faster. Just make sure you disable the notifications in the stock app to avoid duplicate notifications.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I'm (reluctantly) looking into using Handcent because of HTC's last botched update. The screenshots seem to show a rather tacky interface, with odd-looking speech bubbles used to depict conversations.... Is there anyway to switch to the more traditional look?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amm009uk:
Handcent all the way and havent really noticed any faster drain. If its there its slight and the benefits out weigh it anyway.

However, since I began using whatsapp I rarely use SMS. Just seems such an ancient idea now:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slvrback:
I don't use anything else but handcent, cracking app
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Yes you can. In Settings you can change it to look flat, without the bubbles.

Handcent or ChompSMS?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
GO SMS is my choice. Very smooth, and nice convo customizations.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
Thanks olivierlee.

With all of these 3rd party SMS apps, do they completely replace the Sense SMS? ie, if you open a contact and create a new sms from there, will it open the 3rd party app, or Sense?

And if you open a contact and look at their SMS history, will you see SMSs sent/received using the 3rd party app?

Thanks again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
When you choose to send and SMS from the People app, you'll get to choose which SMS app you want to use. You can also make your choice permanent (this is reversible too).

And in People, the SMS history is shown in the People app itself, and again if you choose to reply from the SMS history list, you'll be given the choice of SMS apps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burning_aces:
I was using handcent sms, I like it, but switched to go sms for a bit. Both are good, go sms might be slightly better, depends what you like. Handcent quick sms thing is pretty cool and the fact it has widgets gives it an advantage.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
Thanks for the advice guys... I've installed Handcent now, and it looks excellent. May well stick with it even if HTC ever bother to fix Sense SMS.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddler:
I was reluctant because the baloonish look, but you can easily customize its look and make more "professional". Good app in the end.

Cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddler:
Just giving a try to Go SMS, aint that bad...

EDIT: memory footprint is bigger than handcent's one (35MB Vs. 24MB), despite a lighter interface. Looks like I'll stay on HandCent :)

Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"

Standart SMS/MMS application:

It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.

Handcent SMS

It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.

In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place

just an orange border is displayed around gray square.

I have installed handcent and all work fine...

I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a

then it can be issue....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Christian Troy:
i had no luck untill i managed to put my number on the sim's dedicated line (can't do that with our O1 but i did it with an htc diamond and eto.y rom using the "sim manager")

that's a clever reason..perhaps you're right. My sim is 11 years old :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LEENO:
For me work with void rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pedroh:
I had the same problem when I bought my p500. Any solution didn't work for me.

In the status, it shows my number as unknown (it reads it from sim card). So I put my SIM card in an old phone, and there it has a option to add my phone number to sim card, and now when I click in the grey square it gives me the option to put the image I want.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tritant:
The new Messaging (SMS, MMS) feature in Froyo use the data "My Phone

Number" on the SIM card to link your picture to your contact in the contact

list.

By default, SIM cards issued by many phone operators don't include that

data.

For adding it, you need a phone capable of writing it on the SIM card.

iPhone allows to do that with the following menu :

* Settings > Phone > My Number

Without this feature, android user can not fix the grey rectangle they have

for avatar in the messaging app.

Temp rooted with visionary. Then I downloaded the root.rar files hboot and wpx I plugged my phone in moved them to the sd unplugged phone opened astro and I saw both files on my sd but the folder looked different they were white or something. I pressed on wpx and the hboot and they say "file type ko not found" terminal pretty much said something to that effect when I was entering the second command can someone please help me here I'm desperate.! And one more thing do I have to have adb installed for me to root?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fisherman619:
1. Download the root.rar file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.

2. Run VISIONary to gain temp root.

3a. Start terminal emulator up on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)

a. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.

b. Type "cd /sdcard/root" + enter.

c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.

d. Follow the on screen prompts.

---

c. Now wait about 18 to 20 seconds and restart your device

5. Run visionary again with permroot (if its what you want) and reboot again. This will make root stick.

Look here!! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895117

Two things i see that may be your problem. First, you have to be on 2.2.1 Second, After downloading the root.rar you are suppose to extracted it on your pc. It will extract a folder called root. that folder is to be put on the root of your sd card. Then follow the instructions above and all should be peachy.

Also debugging has to be on, fastboot off and check mark set system r/w after root on visionary. Hope it helped.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I think you might've missed my question. Notice the red box in my screen shot? See how it has two root folders? i.e. \root\root

I want to pause and not go any further until we have clarification of if you have a "nested" root folder - i.e. a root folder within a root folder.

Keep me posted!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
My advice is since it's obvious you don't really know what you're doing; DON'T ROOT.

You have demonstrated here today by not even knowing what folder to put on your SD card and where to put it, that you have no understanding yet about this process.

You seem to be rushing to root. You're just going to end up bricking it and then asking us for help.

If you don't know how to perform a Nandroid backup, or restore a previous ROM backup, flash updates, install custom ROM's, boot into Safe mode, Mount R/W, run shell commands or Terminal Emulator etc, then you should NOT root. You should browse the forums here, read, read and re-read everything until you know it well. Google search related topics. Exhaust all available avenues, then ask questions. After you've executed all of these options you might consider rooting and starting to tinker with your device.

This is not here to offend anyone's sensitivity or hurt your feelings. Many have argued that bricking and recovery is the way they learn. That's fine [for them]. I highly doubt those same people started running before walking, or walking before crawling. But the majority of people need to learn first. Preventing someone from ruining their device is MY best advice.
