Android :: Handcent Vs ChompSMS

Sep 30, 2010

With the latest updates to each respective SMS app now with the ability to turn off ads and such, which app do you use and why?

I currently have the vote toward HandCent SMS not having ads in the inbox window and only in the setting window.

Though I both hate how both now have the stupid + symbol next to the message composition window....anyone know how to disable it?

Android :: Handcent vs ChompSMS


Motorola Droid :: Had Handcent / Switched To ChompSMS / Back To Handcent

Jan 22, 2010

when the stock Messaging app wasn't cutting it, I installed Handcent.But it started flaking out on me, so I dumped it and went to the more-reliable chompSMS.I liked it a lot.But to be completely honest, I missed some of the features of Handcent. But reliability is Job 1, so I kept chompSMS for a few weeks.Then I heard that Handcent received a major update a few days ago, so I replaced chompSMS with Handcent. So far so good. I got all the features back, and I haven't had one single issue in days of texting. So if you're like me and you left Handcent for chompSMS, you may want to give the new version a spin.

Android :: Chompsms Timestamp Problem Switched To Handcent

Sep 5, 2010

So after reinstalling chompsms twice, the timestamp out of order doesn't disappear so I'm using Handcent in the meantime.

Handcent is good but I don't like how when you're adding a contact in "To" field, the number shows. Is there any way I can enable the contact NAME to show up in the To: field?

I'm on Android 2.1

Samsung Epic 4G :: Chompsms Vs Handcent?

Oct 8, 2010

I've seen this comparison on other phones, but I need to know what ya'll think operating these on the Epic??

I've played around with both, found pros and cons for both and now I need to pull the trigger. Which one do I commit to with a "donation"?

Any bugs you've found or kick ass features that you've discovered will be helpful as I'm making my decision.

HTC Droid Eris :: Why To Use Handcent And Not ChompSMS?

May 25, 2010

I used to be a Handcent user and recently switched to ChompSMS. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

It's much faster, much prettier, and has all the features I need or want.

I just don't understand why Handcent seems to be the more popular SMS app.

Motorola Droid :: Chompsms And Handcent Sms

Nov 6, 2009

I just got my droid and so far I'm loving it but encountered a couple of issues. I immediately went to download chompsms but it is nowhere to be found in the android market. I tried to install it from the web browser but it gives me an error message "There is a problem parsing the package".

So I installed handcent sms and it seems fine except when I go to compose a new message there are no contacts in the contact list even though I have all my contacts from my gmail account.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Handcent SMS V ChompSMS

Oct 20, 2009

Some things I've noticed after using each one for a day, and they have me quite baffled.

ChompSMS seems to do more for the battery(in my case at least). Displaying a 19% awake time, compared to a 100% awake time with my handcent SMS, still haven't figured that out, anyone else getting similar results?

ChompSMS started bugging on me not recognizing the orientation of my phone? Uninstalled, installed and reset my phone seems to be working fine, Handcent however was stable and solid the whole time.

ChompSMS takes up LESS memory. With only Screebl Lite and Advanced Task Killer up I was seeing 53 available memory with HandcentSMS installed compared to 81 with ChompSMS installed, someone care to confirm this?

All this leads me to believe that ChompSMS is the better alternative messaging app based on statistics, but of course personal preference should be considered too. Would like to see more people compare and contrast these two and post results also.

HTC Incredible : How To Deliver Report In Handcent / Chompsms?

Jun 30, 2010

I use handcent and have delivery reports on cuz I think it's helpful to know if a text actually went through. Starting around 2 weeks ago, text messages sent through handcent would report as 'unsuccessful,' and the orange icon would appear next to it instead of the green checkmark. The messages are going though, but the report says otherwise. I've reset my phone, battery pulled, uninstalled handcent and reinstalled it, toggled the settings, but the issue remains. I even tried using chompsms for a whle, but had the same problem. However, if I send through the native messaging app, the texts will report as 'delivered.' I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this and figured it out. It's more of an annoyance than anything, and I can live with it, but it sucks having lost some of that functionality seemingly out of nowhere.

Android :: Anyone Use ChompSMS With Widgetlocker?

Nov 12, 2010

Does anyone use chompSMS with widgetlocker?I have it so the quickreply sms popup lights up my phone and appears on my lock screen, but after about 4 seconds the screen goes blank again so i dont always spot it.Is there a way to get it to stay lit up for longer? Ive looked in settings for everything i can think of and the only scrren timeout ove got is 1min but think im missing something.. I guess the best thing would be for it to stay lit with the popup on screen for 30-secs or so, but also locked so i dont reply when its in my pocket.i also use launcher but this is sto to not override any screen timeouts.

Android :: Missing Smiley Face - ChompSMS - Better Keyboard Apps

Jan 19, 2010

I just installed ChompSMS and I have already been using Better Keyboard. I type in vertical mode using t9 and the smiley face has always been there in the bottom right corner (while using default messaging application)

Now I installed ChompSMS and can't get the smiley face back, right now it is an Enter arrow. I have a Droid if that matters.

HTC Incredible :: MMS Via ChompSMS

Jun 18, 2010

I've been using ChompSMS for a while now and like all the features but I ran into a problem. When I send pictures the person receiving them gets them all blurry and fuzzy looking. When I used the stock message app they come though fine. I've been testing this sending pictures to my wife who also has an Incredible. I have the MMS size option set to no limits and also the Preserve Image Resolution checked but it didn't seem to help.

Nexus :: Phonebook Settings And ChompSMS

Jan 23, 2010

I love my N1 but I need to be pointed in the right direction.

Biggest problem with my Phonebook: When you call someone it obviously goes into ur call log. But then it also goes into your "frequently called" section in your favorites tab. What if I dont want someone to know who i called. Is there a way to disable fequently called section? It sends all the numbers you call in there as if its an alternate call log. I obviously know how to delete my call log.

ChompSMS: When I receive a Facebook notification " such and such wants to be ur friend, type "add" to add or "info" for info, etc. When I type add/info/next as I did on my BB it sends the person a message now saying "next/add/info". I have to wait for my FB notification which is about almost 15mins later or more to do it thru the app. Another problem on Chomp is when I send someone a pic and they reply from the MMS, it replies back to me with a blank multi media message.

HTC Droid Eris :: ChompSMS Themed

Apr 20, 2010

I have slightly themed ChompSMS. Got this "cracked" version from another website, which removed ads. Then I themed it up a little. Unfortunately it is version 3.6, which isn't the latest build, but works pretty flawlessly for me.

Updates:
-No ads!
-Changed ChompSMS icon to stock Android (green smiley) icon.
-Changed message unread bar to green instead of blue.
-Changed highlight color from blue, to the yellow-orangeish stock Android selection color. (Look at screenshots)
-Changed the green notification icon to the stock green smiley icon (you have to change this in notification settings, it isn't defaulted).

Screenshots:

Download: chompsmscustom.apk

Motorola Droid :: Handscent Vs ChompSmS Performance

Apr 8, 2010

i read through most of the HS/CSMS threads and really didn't find the information i was looking for. Feature for feature both applications are pretty much even, chomp seems to have some features that handscent doesn't and vice versa, which leaves only a couple things left to compare, which is what my question is based on:In terms of looks, it is very subjective so i will just boil it down to clarity.Which UI is clearer, i.e has the higher resolution? Performance: Which one runs quicker or less sluggish?I'm also downloading the apps to see for myself but, its always great to have other user's feedback, i will post mine after i use them for about a day each, and after some users' replies

HTC Droid Eris :: ChompSMS Notification Delays

May 26, 2010

I've noticed this start to happen more and more frequently. I will get a text, say at 7:30, and not get a notification until I check the app, or my phone will vibrate and say I got the text anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes after it actually got to my phone (observed). This doesn't happen all the time, mind you. Anyone else notice this? It's annoying because I'll get a text and I won't KNOW I got it until a while after. It also seems to only happen if I haven't gotten a text in a certain period of time. Like, the longer I go without receiving a text, the longer it will take for Chomp to give me my notification. Again this doesn't happen all the time but it does happen and I'm not sure if I've just been noticing it more or what is happening.

I did a factory reset when I got the 2.1 OTA so I guess it's not something that could fix, unlike the saving attachments issue I had before the reset. The only thing I can think of is the length of a thread I have on here, it has about 600 messages in it. But I've had threads with 1000+ messages and haven't had a problem before.
