Hi,

I have the latest version of Handcent on my SPrint Hero and suddenly over the past two weeks, I am getting the annoying pop-up message ven though I have disabled this feature. I am not talking about ndual notifications from the stock SMS app and Handcent, but merely Hadcent itslef. I unfortunately took the liberty and did a hard reset yesterday, reinstalled Hahndcent from the Market, checked the settings and, NO GO. I really don't know what else to try . If anyone out htere can suggest a fix, please post ASAP.

Thanks !

Howie

 

Bump...

 

What I mean is that I have disabled the Pop-Up setting in Handcent, I of course disabled the notifications in the stock SMS app. But no matter what I do, I am getting the Handcent pop-up every time a message comes in . It is eating my battery and driving me mad. Yes, I tripple-checked the settings and the only Notifications I have enabled is to vibrate and play an alert. All Pop-up settings are disabled. I have already hard-reset it twice in two days and still nothing. Please HELP ! I have no "hacked" apps installed and only lik 5 free apps installed, none of which have to do with messaging.

Thanks

Handcent worked like a champ and improved battery life a bit , prior to the ROM update. Something must be weird with the ROM update on my , now 3rd Hero. Like I said, I'm a "Techie" and have verified all of the settings, etc. I just cant seem to get rid of it. I did try the Pop-Up app mentioned in this thread an it did not resolve the issue. Open to move ssuggestions.

 

I know that Handcent and Chomp still use the default engine, but Handcent is way better than the stock app, which I am using now. I really want to get this issue resolved or at least find other people who may be experiencing the same issue. I posted this on the Handcent forum and today someone else responded that the have the same issue.

Although I thought the ROM update made my phone better and improved the battery life a bit, I am now noticing the opposite - along with this issue , the damn vibration when you type a phone number is a new BUG that came with the ROM update and it too is driving me nutz ! HELP !!! I really need to get back to Handcent as it nicely re sizes images for MMS, which the stock app does not do.

 

Well, as I said I did a full rest and installed only Handcent and the pop-ups still came no matter what. Last night I saw they updated it again and I really dislike the limited functionality of the stock SMS app. So, I installed the newest version and it appears to be working fine- no pop-ups. However, even though I have the "screen on" disabled, the screen still lights when I receive a message. As I stated on the Handcent forums, the one thing i did have installed before my reset was the Text To Speech add-in, whcin I did play with using Handcent. I have now removed that app, so maybe it was some incompatibility with that app? I just hope it says working ! And I hope I can figure out why the screen keeps coming on. Im open to suggestions.
