With this app, will it recognize your speech for a text message so you don’t have to type?
Really like this app. THX
Does this app alert you when you receive a new text and issue frequent reminders?
do you know where i can download it if i do not have android market. i brought the new moto xt800 in china and it did not come with android market. apparently only android phones sold in the US has android market. could some one give me a link so i can download this app directly to my computer.
Will this app allow my phone to vibrate when I get a text message when I have the phone on vibrate?
I have to silence my phone at work and I never know when I get a new text because I don’t always see the little light blinking….I really need the phone to vibrate for both text and calls.
I love the application … but how do you REPLACE the built in app ? As is I get to alerts, one for stock SMS client and one for Handcent.
I loooove handcent but since the update on my droid the app isn’t working…does anyone know how to fix this???
Love Handcent. I just got my droid and was frustrated that I couldn’t change the font; can do with Handcent. I also like the view options.
I love this app, but I can’t send a pic with sound. I have tried every way I can think of. It will only let me attach one or the other.
I hope someone can help me. Thanks !!
I used this app for about 6 months. It’s a great app because of the many different ways you can customize it and the fact that it has an awesome pop-up that makes going all the way into the app hardly necessary. The only problem I had with it is that over time, whether it was something else I installed not mixing well with Handcent SMS, but it began to force close at least twice a day. But other than that, all of the features make this app a must have. And for the record, I know many other Droid users who still have the app and do not have force closing issues with it.
I wish this app had more emoticons!! Does anyone known an app that has emoticons, similar to the Palm WebOS app, SMS MMS Email Emoticons? Thanks 4 your help!
Had it for a while for my Moto Cliq XT, but since the update i downloaded for it today IT DOES NOTHING BUT FORCE CLOSE NOW…LAST UPDATE WAS BAD..
I am using this app on a Droid Incredible. It seems like the SMS works fine but about once a day I get a MMS message notification. I can’t ever locate that message?
