Favorite SMS app??

i dont see a problem with the generic app so i've been using that
i used to use both handcent and chomp back before i lost my G1, but the default program is just fine for me

Im getting issues with stock. Any pics or videos require download. When I click on download button, I get a "Download not available at the moment" or something to that nature. All of a sudden, I got several text messages today, but they were the same messages from a couple of days ago, but this time it showe the attachments. Any ideas?

you are probably roaming. When i roam i cannot get pics from my texts either. and then when i get in sprints area they flood in. sounds like a network issue not an app or phone issue

Another vote for Handcent here!

I can't get used to the look of Handcent. I even changed to the android setting, without bubbles, and I still don't like it.

I prefer the stock one. Just wish it was simpler to resend a message that fails.

Edit - messed with it for a good 10 minutes, and I have it looking almost just like the stock one. I will keep using Handcent fr now.

Handcent with the dark background - sweet!

Seriously? So when on wifi, the phone shuts off 3G/4G? Not being able to receive texts while wifi is turned on is kind of lame. Are all phones like that?

you can definitely receive sms (text) messages when on wifi (and yeah, 3g/4g is shut off when wifi is on)- that doesn't go over a 'data' connection. not sure about mms.

Just press the little failure notice. That's all it takes to resend.

I have Handcent right now. So far I like it. But it always has a double notification because the regular stock text notifies me too. How do I get rid of that?

Chomp looks interesting..Gonna check it out now.

Do these apps slow down the phone?

bring up stock messaging app, menu, and turn notifications off.

Nope...

Tried out both.. Will keep chompsms for now. The widget is nice, and the UI seems a bit more polished.
