How do I disable stock Android text app?

When I receive a text message I have both Handcent and the stock Android texting app notify me of a text..I just want Handcent to notify me..
I have Googled this and it seems you disable this in the stock app by going to menu and then notification settings and it should be there..okay problem is there is NO notification settings..
Anything I can do?

Go messaging app then press settings then uncheck notifications
Edit: wait nvm I read ur whole post and realized u didn't hav the setting :O

Hide keyboard in messaging

Hi guys,
Just wondering is there some way to stop the keyboard from showing in the default messaging every time you go into it?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

I'm not sure it can be done with the stock SMS app. Third party ones like Go SMS and Handcent have an option for stopping the automatic appearance of the keyboard.

Thanks, got handcent at the moment. Just that one of the custom rims i had tried it was hidden on the stock sms so thought there may have been a way to hide it.

Go into the messaging app you want to disable [stock] press menu > notification settings, then disable them.

thanks but I know how to disable the stock text but I'm getting a seperate message that i have never seen before installing launcher pro

oops my bad I should of been more clear... I'm talking about a second notification at the top of the screen not on the bottom dock, sorry

Are your messages showing twice in the messaging app? You may be receiving them twice, hence two notifications.
What rom are you on & are you using the stock app or a different one?

look at the pic, its the envelope at the top, that's not the stock message icon, that's from launcher pro, when I pull it down to check it now it says u have 0 messages, that's cool but why does it has to stay up there, if I receive another text the stock envelope will appear next to it, so I disabled the stock notification but nothing clears this unless I manually do it

I'm sorry, but I don't see a picture. I'm currently using LauncherPro (just installed it as well) and I have never received a message like that. Are you sure it isn't another app? Do you have any SMS related apps installed that aren't necessarily replacement apps? Or maybe you've installed something else recently?
One way to check if it's LauncherPro - next time you get the notification, don't clear it. Go into settings > applications > manage applications and find LP. Then force stop the application. If the icon persists then you know it isn't LauncherPro. While you're there, go ahead and force stop any recently installed applications and see which one clears it.
Oh, and are you using Google Voice?

thanks Jane I figured it out, it was some launcher pro service pack I had downloaded, uninstalled it now everything is good, oh I thought I had uploaded a screen shot on a previous post I guess not, thanks again!

Sorry to revive a 2 year old thread, but I just started having this problem myself. I have an HTC Evo V (Virgin Mobile) Everything stock phone. I get like a postcard looking thing that says "new message(s)" and won't go away unless I press "clear". This just started happening, and I wanted to know what was your fix.
Thank you

[Q] Handcent - New to Samsung

Just upgraded my Evo to the Epic 4G Touch, and I'm a fan of Handcent for messaging, and prefer its notifications over the stock messaging app. On the Evo, if you disabled notifications in the stock messaging app, you just didn't get them.
On this phone, I get notifications no matter what.
Any clues?

open stock app, press menu, uncheck notifications.
im using handcent like i did on evo and get no stock notifications. i also replaced the stock app button w/ the handcent app. only problem...it doesnt have a little counter showing me how many msgs i have.

Are you saying you're getting double notifications via both stock sms and handcent event though you've disable them in the stock app or are you saying you're still getting them from handcent even though you've disable them in the stock app?
In a nutshell, you'll get them from either or both if you haven't disabled the individual notifications in each app, i.e. stock sms and/or handcent. Make sense?

I believe there is a plug in in the market for that

a plug in that works similar to the handcent widget'? of the three interchangble scrolling buttons, only apps are allowed to be used. the handcent widget works fine, its just not selectable as a button i can use on the 4button scrolling bar.
OP did you disable notifications in the STOCK app and STILL get notified?

I have no issues with the notifications, however I do have Force close issues with Handcent on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the occasional freeze up? I usualy have to task kill it or wait till I get the force close option, but it happens pretty often.

SMS sound not playing

Hi everyone...
Got my s4 yesterday but I noticed the notification sound never plays when I receive an SMS...works for email, gchat but for some reason never for sms. I've tried doing a hard reset, going into sms settings, going into sound settings and nothing...Any ideas?

There is notification on sms setting menu too. Did u check that?

Yeah went into sms menu and checked it and unchecked it, changed sound still doesnt work

Mine stopped ringing after i installed handcent. Uninstalled it and it started working. Then I installed ninja sms and same problem. I'm guessing you can't have another type of sms app or it will stop the notifications from the stock messaging. Which is pretty weird since I've never had that problem on any of my other phones

I was able to fix it by just doing another battery pull which is weird cause i did it before but oh well as long as its fixed...I'm using the stock msging app
