Handcent SMS issue I need help with...

I have a problem with the new message alert on the shortcut not clearing. I read the message but it still shows 1 new. The only way it clears is if I delete or forward it the message. Any suggestions?

Do you get TWO separate icons when you receive a text? One from Handcent SMS and one from the stock messaging app? I noticed that I was getting two notifications, one from each app when I received a message. If that's the case, you need to disable the other stock messaging app from notifying you when you get a message.

I have had an issue with my HTC Hero and texting as well. When a friend sends me a text that is broken into multiple texts I often get them out of order. Not a big deal I guess but if there is some way to fix that it would make reading them a bit easier ;)

I am stock on sprint fwiw and I have this issue whether I use the stock sms or handscent.

Thanks!

I switched from Handcent even though I really like it. I went back to the stock app due to the lag in the Handcent app. Anyone else have this problem? I know about turning the vibration feedback off helping. But even with it on in the stock app I don't have much lag at all. But in Handcent it is terrible. I would love to use Handcent again, has there been any updates to help this?

Open the default Messaging App and get into setting for it and Disable all notifications.

Hope that works and incase of confusion I can post a screenshot :)
