I can't seem to find a way to turn off SMS Notifications briefly turning on my screen. It's extremely annoying when I'm listening to music with the phone in my pocket and I get a text message and then it starts flipping through my songs because the screen is on and my pocket is rubbing against the track controls. I can't seem to find an option to turn it off.
Nobody knows?
i think if you use a third party sms app, it will turn it off for the stock app
Yeah, I had been using Handcent but I really like the default app, I just hate how it turns the screen on. I guess it's back to Handcent for the time being =/

Handcent can turn of the notification.
But I'm sure you already know that.

always thought handcent didnt look right to me. it always felt out of place, but i havent used it in quite a while.
i know that when i used it i was NOT a fan of the ads. GO SMS PRO does everything i want, and then some. does it free, and it looks good with a quality interface.
i will evaluate handcent again, but i doubt it will sway me
No ads anymore. And I use the iPhone look. Does what it's supposed. I don't think I change.

Iv had my evo for a week now and i used handcent on my samsung moment with no problem but on the evo i noticed that if i dont open a message immediatly the phone will stay awake. (screen will black out but phone is still running) Iv verified this in spare parts. I had over an hour of usage from handcent in partial wake usage.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I love the way handcent work and its layout. Iv checked in handcents settings and nothing should keep the phone from staying awake. my evo is stock with root.
I've been using Handcent since I've had the EVO. Like you I came from the Moment too. I've had no issues.

handcent - i have mms set to 1.2mb and i've had it set to 1mb, when i get a pic someone sends me in a text, its just a tiny thumbnail, once i click the thumbnail..it does not open full screen, crips and clear. I just goes to a black background, with the thumbnail in the milddle.
Stock messaging app - all i see is a bar that says "slide show" once clicked, the pic opens up 90% full screen, and you can tell it is very distorted and not crisp and clear. Its almost as if the thumbnail was "blown up" to fit the screen. But at least the stock app makes an attempt to open fullscreen.
when i long press to save a pic that is sent to me, it saves just a thumbnail. and even when i open it on the phone from its saved location, it doesn't save the proper size. its still a thumbnail
I've tried using chomp, handcent and the stock app. I've also reset all data settings, and even wiped my phone. nothing has fixed the issue. so it can't possibly be my phone's fault. it has to be t-mobiles fault.
Well ive noticed this as well. I sent a picture of myself to one of my friends and then they sent in back.
The pic looks normal size in Go sms
sent My from my crappy mytouch 4G
I like the color/theme part about Handcent. MT4G's have black notification bars, and the fact handcent can be black just makes it more appealing to me. If the mms worked right, all would be golden.
Check your settings again in the stock app and handcent. Like I've said, all the pics sent to me are great.
If the pic youre getting is small or tiny, it may be because the sender had their pic resolution reduced by them or their system to be able send as sms. I know when I try to send some pics from MyT4G...it says some are too large and to resize them.

Have you tried handcent SMS? I've used it on every android phone I've ever had (with exception the samsung captivate). It's highly customizable & has a free version. If you are determined to have the stock messaging app... I came along this post:

Hey, ive noticed that the default messaging app is pretty slow to load or send messages. I even tried handcent and got the same issue. It's like a 2-3 second lag when opening the app or selecting a specific message. Does anyone else have the same issue? Wasn't this bad on my nexus :/
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I use handcent and its almost instant when I send or load messages. I don't like the stock message app so I never really tried with that one.
Do you have a specific setting to make it faster??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I use Go sms. It is free and pretty fast. The delay could also be happening if you have a lot of messages though. That would slow down any sms app.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
The HTC messaging app had been criticized for having this slow issue before, so nothing new. Just use handcent or similar.
Handcent is instantaneous with send/receive, plus pop up text, can't go wrong.

I've had this issue. Actually i've had issues where the entire device gets so slow i have to reboot. This hasn't happened since i changed kernels. I use smartkeyboard pro too, so i reduced the length of time of the haptic feedback and that helped too.
That's why I use go sms.

This is an example of people not understanding what issues are. I had to stop your video when I saw it.
The keyboard lags in the MESSAGING app. Not anywhere else. Any SMS client with any keyboard will have the lag. To repeat, the actual bug is "lags when typing text messages." So no, people aren't smoking crack. Just you and several others don't seem to understand the actual issue.
Not trying to dog you out, just misinformation is one of my pet peeves.

Strange... I use handcent and better keyboard fully customized and I have no lag on this or stock keyboard in messaging or any app for that matter
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well if using handcent fixes the lag, then I stand corrected. I used the default keyboard, gingerbread keyboard from the market, swype, default SMS app and go SMS. All combinations produced the lag after a bit of texting, not just just one sentence.
If you can type out a paragraph using handcent without it slowing down then I will shut up. And thank you for finding a workaround.
