Unable to change notification sound in handcent - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

As the title says, when I select a new notification sound within handcent it still is the same default notification sound as selected in Android settings. Is this pretty typical? I haven't had this issue with my old x10.

This may be a dumb question, is it possible that although you selected a notification to use the radio selection is still set to use the default? Also which version of handcent are you using?

Hmm I donno exactly what u mean, but no settings are set to default.
I'm using the latest version of handcent.

I've had the notification setting from within handcent revert to the defualt ringtone in the past, even after i had specified a different one. I don't know what else to suggest other than uninstall and re-install handcent and see if that helps. Other than that maybe contact the developer from the market page, as this is likely an app specific problem.

Completely remove text messaging

What files would i need to remove to completly remove/disable the stock text messaging app? I found a vanilla one i like very much and i keep getting double texts in both. D:<

You can turn off notifications via going into the stock "text messaging" app through your apps list and then go into "messaging settings" and uncheck the "notifications - status bar" button.
Then you will only have your new text msg app notifying you.
It still shows up in the new messaging app.

You can delete it from /system/app via root-explorer or adb Or you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup.
download the app rootuninstaller.
and then uninstall it.
I tried to use system app remover to remove messaging. I still get double texts in my vanilla message app.

last time i had this problem (double sms received). i re-flashed the rom.
btw, i wouldn't remove the stock messaging app through, i think the 3rd party sms apps actually use the system one for the actual work, they're more of a "front-end". just disable the notifications should be fine.
if you install another sms app and now actually receiving double sms (not just the notification), i think there's something else wrong...

[Q] App to change notification sounds?

Is there an app to change notification sounds to apps that only use the default notification sound?
Zedge you can go online and make your own and use the app to get what you made on your phone

I'm not sure about apps but i use Ringo lite to change notification sounds to ringers i made from Mp3's in ringdroid.

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out both of the apps above, but neither can do what I'm looking for...
For example... Say I'm using hey tell.. It has sound notifications when I get a message. But the notification is the system default and you can't change it in the app. I'm looking for something that will if it even exists? I don't want the same sustem notification for like 20 different apps
Actually in the new update heytell added the ability to change the notification sound. But the same situation applies for many apps...
With Zedge you should get a popup saying Zedge notification or android system I have jarvis from iron man saying you have a message sir for my text and master I have mail for you as my Gmail notification and I have different sounds for all my contacts

Duplicated Text Recieved

I just jumped from an iPhone to the Galaxy S3. Really loved it until..... I installed GO SMS Pro and started receiving double texts. I reached this extensively on the web and couldn't find any thing that worked so i de-installed it. I then installed Handcent 4.4.3 and low and behold, I get double texts again. I don't get double when i have the native Galaxy text app.
From what i can tell, there may be a way to "turn off" the default text notification but i cant seem to find that anywhere. Surly I am not the only person with problem on the Galaxy. Can anyone help please? Thank you.
open stock messaging app> settings> untick notifications at the bottom

Yep, the info listed above is correct if the problem is that GoSMS Pro and the stock messaging app are both giving notifications. But if one is getting duplicate, the above won't work.

Do you use Google voice integration? If so, you can change that setting through the Google voice website

no i am just using the stock rom right now. i think i may have found the option. under settings, select application manager, and then in settings for application manager, you select "Reset app preferences". Unfortunately, it resets ALL app preferences back to the beginning. i saw a lot of references to going in to the email app and unchecking the sync text message block, but that is not available in the Siii rom.

Not receiving notifications for MMS.

I am using Go SMS pro. I have notifications turned off in default app, and on in Go SMS. I get notifications fine from standard msgs but not MMS. It worked fine up until a few days ago when i noticed that i would get an MMS but not a notification for it. So i wouldnt know that i had one until i manually checked my text list.
Any idea of what to try?
bump. anyone?

I would make sure it's not a network problem by deleting the app and making sure the stock MMS app still works. Have you tried emailing the developer of the app your problem?

I wouldn't bother emailing the dev. They are some of the worst at replying. They focus mainly on their targeted user base in china.

I'm also having this issue with AOKP 3/1/13 release. I get my sms notifications fine but MMS wont notify me at all (unless I manually go in and check my messages).
