Handcent and ChopSMS

[Charmed Juan]

Just did a search in the market for handcent and handcent sms and only the fontpacks show up. No App.

i also cannot find handcent in the market this morning. how else can we get to it? apk?

 

[syrguy1969]

I use appbrain more than the actual Android market...a lot easier to use and syncs with the PC easily....also Handcent was easy to find :

Handcent SMS - Android app on AppBrain

 

[Adiliyo]

that won't work if it's not in the market. the link that appbrain gives your phone won't find anything...

just have to wait for it to come back...

how can I set chomp to take control of the message app?
Right now I am getting notifications in both locations, and when I delete from Chomp it doesn't delete from the messages app....

I have used both and I have to say chomp was better for me. I used each of them fro a week and made my decision. Try them both

Just turn off notifications in your stock messaging app.

 

[tony bag o donuts]

the only option I see is to turn off notifications in the menu bar.
but if you delete the convo in chomp it still will keep it in the default app.

you have to go in to the default messaging app

Menu -> Settings

scroll down and remove the check mark in the box that says Received Notification

Their loss = chomps gain I guess.

I prefer chomp

With these apps can you make it where there is only a "sound notification" but doesnt display the text msg or who the txt is from?

I just got my Incredible on Friday and been unable to get the Handcent app from the market. I had to pull the apk from my Moto Droid and transfered.

Any know whats going on with the Handcent?

 

[Adiliyo]

the market is having issues with a lot of apps not showing up, handcent didn't pull it from the market.

as such they are currently hosting the apk on their website:

Handcent sms HomePage --sms plus software for android

I get all kinds of error messages when sending and receiving MMS messages with Handcent. When I send an MMS it says "message not sent generic network failure" and when I receive one I get "message not downloaded" and then I get another notification once it downloads. This is the ONLY reason I use ChompSMS. There are a number of things I like about Handcent better than Chomp but the crazy alerts drive me nuts!

These exact issues are what caused me to switch to ChompSMS.

good to know I'm not the only one...

I've had Handcent since I got the phone and it works great.

I had ChompSMS on my Blackberry so I had an idea what it was about handcent is better imo but it's a preference thing I'm sure

I never got Chomp to work on my BB so when I came to this, I went straight for Handcent and havent even tried Chomp. But Ive had no need to. Handcent has never done me wrong, and has always worked.
