Help Anyone having issues with Handcent on their Mesmerize?

[Strings]

Hey all.

Wife got a Mesmerize, and we downloaded Handcent immediately.

Unfortunately, she seems to be having issues with it. She'll be typing on the keyboard, but the text won't show up. She also get's mis-identified text notifications (it says "Bob", when it's actually a text from "Dave").

Anyone else having similar issues?

I have had the same problem with the false names on received texts. I havnt seen any fixes but I guess Im the wrong person to ask. Id also like to know.

I used handcent faithfully till I got my mesmerize. I now use the stock app as it seems to work just as well. I have the same problem with the names but only in the notification bar. It will say it's from one person, but when I open the app it will say another. Mine will also sometimes just have the phone number even thoo the person sending the pic is in my contacts. I don't know y it does this. I rooted with Z4Root, and still have the same thing going on maybe 2.2 will fix this. sry I don't have any answers.

I have been using HandCent for a couple of days to replace the stock sms app, since it was running so laggy on my phone and I have to report that it has been working well for me so far.

I've had this issue when using the Samsung keyboard input, however not the Android keyboard.

I've been using Handcent for several months now, no issues at all. I used to have the misidentified text issue in the status bar, when I was using the stock app and stock samsung keyboard.

I would suggest reinstalling handcent, and also installing swiftkey keyboard and see if that clears it up.

I haven't had the first problem with handcent or SMS in general since I began using it. I started using Swiftkey before Handcent.

You may also want to try enabling pop up notification with handcent. That may help as well.

Just a note, I did a factory reset a while ago and have not had any problem since.
The issue may likely be related to some other application we've all had installed at some time or another.

I started using Go SMS Pro and love it. It seems to work better for me than Handcent.

X2. Switched to GO SMS over the weekend just for grins. So far I like it a lot better.
