text messaging?

[joe_5962]

Using 2.1 OTA update also using standard and handcent text app? Can someone tell me how to disable the factory standard text message so I can use handcent only?

Go into messages/settings/received messages. Then disable everything in there. Then set up your handcent settings and you should be good to go.

Is it weird that Handcent is now slower than the HTC messaging app after the 2.1 update on my phone? I uninstalled it because it lagged as bad as the 1.5 HTC messaging app did.

This could be because you need to delete some text messages lol.

If you like handcent I suggest trying chomp sms

Is that why the SMS apps lag? I'd delete my messages but it takes forever, especially since I have a billion on there.

I also was using handcent before the update, I love the way it's so customizable - after the update its more laggy than, well, I don't know, but it's ridiculous. So, I uninstalled it and tried the regular messaging app, it's not really any better, imho. Installed Chomp and that started causing force close issues w/the messaging app, so I uninstalled chomp too.

Now, I've reinstalled handcent and am going back and forth between that and messaging.

this update has not been too impressive. I don't have a ton of text messages on the phone, and don't have too many things installed, so I really don't know what's going on. I've done the factor reset and have soft reset/rebooted a few times too. Fixes things for a few, but not for good.
