That has never happened to me; whether using the stock program or Handcent.

 

Honestly I believe most the users are using Handcent which may be a reason why u've had to bump this...No one is seeing that on Handcent...

 

Bumping is normal forum etiquette

As far as the apps & dead weight, those don't take much space & u can just disable the notifications on the stock app of course so u won't even remember it was there after a day or so

 

Yeah, it's annoying as hell and used to happen to me all the time... until I installed handcent

 

Have the issues with Handcent been fixed? I was going to install the app today but the reviews said the latest upgrade was causing havoc. What about dolphin which one do you prefer dolphin vs handcent?

Thanks!

 

Mine does it when I reply almost immediately after getting a text, otherwise it is normal. Not really bothered by it but might try this Handcent but don't really need it.

 

I hadn't had any issues with Handcent so I'm not sure as to what ur speaking of; as for Dolphin, there isn't anything to compare as thatz a Browser...

 

I use the stock messaging program and ive had the moment since a day after release also I'm a heavy texter and i have never had this problem

 

Tried Handcent. Not a fan. I didn't like that it wouldn't look like the stock messenger app. I just use SMS Popup to make up for the lack in the stock system.
