Handcent gets better and better!

[dredg]

I have tried and tried to get the stock txt message pop-up from displaying while using Handcent. I have message notifications turned OFF in settings, but I STILL get 2 notifications for a txt. 1 from stock, 1 from Handcent. I've been on Stock 2.0, Sholes, and now Bugless Beast and I'm still getting 2 notifications. Has anyone else had this issue?

hmm, just been rumbled!

I sent a valentines message to 3 girls using handsent, the only problem is when you send an animated message to a group of people, for some reason the message includes all of the numbers you just sent to. I just had a call saying "ooh that message was so cute, shame im not that special to you..."

gutted.

be warned guys

I saw the update available for Handcent and noticed in the comments people mentioning "ads". No one in this thread has mentioned them.... Did they add them to this app ?

Yes there is one ad at the top of the settings menu. Also it ads your facebook contacts to the list an i cant find a way to turn it off. Quite annoying if you ask me.

for those reasons, i chose not to update.

Ha, I can't believe people are seriously complaining about the ad. I was worried upgrading because my phone has a fairly small screen, so I was concerned I wouldn't be able to see as much in threads. The ad is one line in the freakin' settings menu. Seriously, how often do people go into the settings once they have it set up the way they like?

 

[skyline987]

yea i backed it up with astro before i updated because everyone was saying the update was slow. The speed wasnt the issue and i didnt mind the ad either, but i dont need to scroll through 100+ contacts from my fb that i dont talk to on a regular basis when picking a contact. Im back on 2.9.30 till theres an option to turn facebook off

Too bad it still leaves an ugly white box though. Would be real useful if it removed that entirely so on things like Dolphin you could have that extra space for a bookmark or whatever. I guess you can't have it all, huh?

yea i noticed that.. takes up room that could easily fit another option in its spot.

I just installed it again and I notice that it tries to update when you launch it and when I click the first option up top to download & update or whatever I get a java error. Not sure what's up with that.

Yeah, god forbid you have to scroll... Wait, you have to anyway to see all options !

It's in the settings! How often do you go into the settings menu? If it was at the top of the thread list, or in the message listing, then fair enough, complain to your heart's content, but it's not, it has almost zero impact

 

[skyline987]

Really its one rarely seen ad in a FREE app.. If it was right on the main screen or in your conversations or it was a paid app i could see what everyone would be pissed about but thats not the case here.

 

[StephenM]

Have to agree on this. The thoughts of the ad being in the middle of conversations bothered me greatly, but in the settings menu is fine with me.

For such a great app, one ad is ok with me. Hope they earn some money from it, because the work on the app is excellent.

I want custom... so I can make some using Ringdroid for my wife and send them to her

why not just email the ringtone instead of sms?

i don't have a problem with the ad and think it is pretty much a non-issue given its location. my complaint is that an ad was presented in the app and no pay/donate version was introduced for those who may not want an ad. Further, according to the dev, a non-ad version won't even be considered until the next major release (3.0 or whatever) if they decide to provide one.

It's always nice to have the option of not having an ad, however unobtrusive it is, and i prefer to pay/donate anyway (even when an app is free I usually make a donation if i decide to keep it).
