SMS - What do you use? HTC's? Handcent's? or...? - Legend General

I love how HTC SMS seperates the messages by day, but I dislike the picture in front of the message. Plus, the text color "me" & "the receiver" is all black & I cant distinguish right away.
I'm using Handcent. so far so good. Couple of Force Close but I can live with that for now. Can't really send group SMS. But overall, it's better than HTC's SMS function.
What do you think?

i use handcent w. HTC_IME mod

Mms

Hey everyone, I'm diggin the gtizzle other than one small problem. Everytime I want to send a pic (on stock messaging app) it always shows as a slide show..I never had this problem on my g1 and can't figure it out, a friend said you can send a pic that isn't a slideshow using handscent but I don't like that app, any other solution?

Nope. I just set handcent to look like the messaging app. Problem solved. I'm assuming they'll fix this in an update.
Handcent is really way better tho. You should just set it as ur default app..

I use ChompSMS because I've always preferred it over the native app. I just want the LED in the speakergrill to be enabled so I can use my color coded alerts again. There are a few software bugs already causing pretty big issues so I am hoping an OTA update is on the way soon

How do you send group text messages

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. But there's no Q and A section yet Nexus S.
But anyway I'm coming from the Evo 4g and I just received my Nexus S. I would like to send out a group text messages letting everyone know my new number.
So can someone please tell me how to send out group messages. It seems like I'm only able to send a text to individua people.
Thanks
You don't.
You either have to add each person individually, or you have to use another text application.
Score another one for "Pure Android".
download handcent. i prefer it over the stock messaging app.
you can add groups, send mass texts, among a crapload of other things.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
handcent used to rock, but on my EVO it got super sluggish and major FC pretty often. I love the look of it, not because it copies the iPhone, but I have to admit, that style just works best, very easy to see and read.
+1 for Handcent. I also like it because I can use inverse or dark colors (black background, slightly less dark text).

HD2 sms

I'm looking for the .cab file for the HD2 (tmo) app that came installed with the stock ROM. It's the app whose icon looks like a green dialogue balloon with a smiley face. I have looked all over and can't find it. I hate using the HTC messaging client.

CM 7 Group Messaging

Hey guys,
I have noticed CM 7 lacks group messaging capabilities on the rom itself.. Or maybe I am just blind and couldnt find it..
Anyways, How have you guys been using as a substitute for that. Any good recomendations of apps or tweaks
I personally have used ChompSMS, Handcent, and GoSMS and of the three, GoSMS is my favorite.

start a message and add a contact, it auto selects the text input field, click in the end of the contact again and you can add more.
I really need group messaging capabilities in CM7 too.
I really need group messaging capabilities in CM7 too. I know ,add a contact, click in the end of the contact again and add more,but it is no easy to do that.I do not like gosms, when i use ChompSMS, I get a picture message, the stock SMS app crashes.

[Q] "your phone is not compatible with this message type or size..."

My friend has an iPhone 4. When he sends me a pic through mms i get "your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. portions of this message will not be displayed". he is just sending a picture he took not anything else. i reboot and ask him to resend and still no luck. the only thing that does work is when he zooms in on the pic then takes a screenshot of it then sends it to me.
Does anyone know why this happens? its pretty annoying.
i attached a screenshot of how it looks
Lol, check the size of pictures. I think mms only supports 640x to 320x
I have this probleme too when I send one mms picture to a old phone. I resize and works

Maybe try a different sms app like GoSMS? That's what I've been using and haven't had any issues with mms... plus it allows me to zoom into pictures which the stock text messaging app wouldn't allow.
That makes sense. It would be great if there wasn't any ristriction. Or like if would automatically resize the picture before it revives or something lol.

I also use handcent. It gives me the same problem. I'm gonna try the application you mentioned. Hopefully it works for me.

Interesting.... I've received pictures from my brothers iPhone 4 just fine. That's using the stock text messaging app.
