Checking and unchecking the notification settings mixed with turning the phone on and off.
I have downloaded Handcent SMS and gone through the same series of checks. If I do the test notification in Handcent SMS it works just fine, but when an actual text message comes in I get nothing still. Also, it works fine when it comes to notifications for emails. I looked around the internet and could not really find a solid answer to help me out. Hoping someone can give some advice or knows what the issue is. Thanks.
Look through the text messaging app settings and see if there is anything to setup notifications for incoming messages, such as notification in the status bar, sounds, etc. It appears as though additional settings need to be set in order for the stock messaging app to display notifications for messages.
