This post may be a lil long, but read it thru. I may not have the answer, but my questions and concerns may spark a thought from someone else.
I'm no novice, I understand the basics and well beyond on this phone. So this is very frustrating for me.
#1, Not being able to uninstall factory installed apps..."Messages" specifically is just plain dumb. No reason the user shouldnt be able to delete anything they want as long as it doesnt effect the system itself.
#2, from day one I started using Handcent and strongly suggest that to everyone. I checked it off to be my default Messenger. Before I force closed "messages" I unchecked the automatically check, and unchecked notify. Beyond that I have double checked to make sure "messages" app was down, and even did a Force close on it.
#3, this really shouldnt be surprising me. Ive been with sprint 9yrs, its never simple.
Problem is, occasionally for no reason, an incoming text will show up in my notifications ( twice ). once from handcent and once from 'messages'. regardless of which I click on, they both bring me to handcent. My worry here (brings me back to #1) is that "messages" is never really completely off. And this very well may be why the "dialer" fix works, but only for a short amount of time.
Dammit..let me delete what I want!
