Please help. aslo i keep getting double vibrates plus the sound for the notification i only want 1 vibrate and the sound like i had it set up before

First, go Settings < Apps < Manage < Handcent SMS < Clear defaults

Second, go to a contact, and send them a text, making Handcent the default action.

Finally, go into the stock app, and disable notifications.

go into stock app uncheck notifications, that will get rid of 2x notifications
then go to settings>applications>menu>filter>all then scroll to messaging, tap it, and then clear defalts, then when u click on one of the apps it should ask u if you want to set a defalt.

double notifications are gone but it still is not setting as default when i click messaging.! grr

Heh, you got 2 responses that told you exactly what to do, if you can't follow directions maybe it's you that is useless...

I did follow the direction man. Its still not working. When I click messaging it opens the stock sms. :/

Don't click messaging... click Handcent. By clicking messaging, you are opening the native messaging app. Take it off your home screen completely and put Handcent up there.
