I used Handcent many times over the last couple years and every time I get frustrated with the little bugs and quirks that desperately need to be fixed. I go back to the stock messaging app each time. I have recently discovered Go SMS Pro which is quite a bit better than Handcent but still has a few little bugs here and there, but nowhere near as bad as Handcent. If it wasn't for the fact that the stock messaging app doesn't show up as an option for 'share' in the 3D gallery I would just stick with the stock app because I don't need any of the other features or failures these apps bring. It just amazes me the developers that turn a blind eye to stability and keep dumping in more useless features nobody wants/needs.
So, I guess that's another vote for Go SMS Pro... sorta.
i use GO SMS and love it... one problem i found today...which i would imagine they have but i just cant figure it out...
but can someone tell me how to forward a message? without having to save the text or paste it....
Press and hold the message you want to forward. An alternate menu will pop up.
75% of my phone use is attributed to text messaging. So I recently downloaded Handcent and I'm liking it a lot. It's a lot better than the bland default messaging application. I really like how customizable it is. My only gripes are that I wish I could change the physical Handcent icon itself and maybe rename it to "Messaging" or something, also wish the reminder notifications had a few more options. Other than that it's a great app.
Any other good or better apps out there for text messaging?
