stock message application

Good day. How do you turn off the "stock" messae application on a HTC Vivid, it is interfering with the Handcent application I downloaded.

Go into settings in Handcent, and under application settings, set Handcent as the default messaging app. That is supposed to disable all other messaging apps.

Why not just go into the stock messaging app and turn of notification there?

What Baseballfanz said. Just go into the settings of the stock messaging app and disable the notification so that you won't be receiving notices of incoming text. You'll still receive text messages to the application, but you won't be notified when received.

You don't even have to do that. I use Handcent. When you set it as the default messaging app, all other messaging apps are disabled.

I know. I have seen posts where the stock app is not disabled when using that method. I don't know if its a phone-to-phone basis, or if the people posting don't know what they are doing.
