I wud like to know if it's possible to get the tracker ball to flash when i get msgs with any of the txt msg software on the market namely chomp/handcent? I can only get it to work with the default app but not with the 3rd party software. Im a txt junkie n i think the flashing tracker ball is a great touch without turning ur fone on every time to chk.

Only had my Hero for 3 days but something I have noticed has happened twice and is happening at the moment.
I have no new notifications but the tracker ball is lighting up every 5 seconds or so. What does that mean?
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.

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?
I have no notifications, but it keeps flashing anyway. Any idea why?

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
Using chompsms at the moment & whilst I like it seems to have a few minor niggles that's putting me off
Anyone used both?
Which is better?
Which do you prefer?

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Idea is to scan barcodes as you shop, and then when you get hungry, have a list of recipes you can choose from that you have ingredients on hand for.When you cook the list is updated for what was used.Something that integrates w/ ShopSavvy and one of the better reciepe apps would be awesome.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I'm reading things right, the accelerometer measures physical forces (i.e. movement) and the orientation sensor gives the tilt of the handset. If you are coding a rolling ball type app which would you use? You could argue accelerometer, in which case you measure each delta force and apply it to your balls physics. Or just the orientation and compute the effects of gravity again on the ball but just using different physics. Is there a preference? Would any be more accurate than the other?

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.
