unfortunately I didn't. :twisted:
I did, was going to say something but thought that would be offtopic.
I tried Textra as well, and it looks promising. The lack of lock screen popups sort of kills it for me right now though.
It exists. Go under "Default for Notifications" and under the Style section, you'll see an option for "Wake Up Lock Screen."
Ahh, I see now. I had to change that option to "always" to get the screen to wake up. Now if they can get the popup to work on the lock screen all will be good!
Why do so many people tolerate paying 10 cents or more per SMS when they cost basically nothing in terms of the actual cost to the carrier?

If you have a "secure" lockscreen, that function is blocked because of Google.
It isn't that (I am not using any secure lock screen features). With Handcent, if I get a text message when the phone is locked, the phone wakes up and the text is displayed in a floating window. I can then respond the the text in that same window without needing to launch a messaging app. With Textra, the phone wakes up but the text message is simply displayed up in the notification bar. To respond, I need to launch Textra (or tap the notification possibly) and compose my message like normal.
I am guessing that's what this means under the option "Auto Show Popup" : Yes (Currently only works in unlock mode). I have to assume that this feature is coming from the wording there.
Ive been using Handcent for a longtime and love its customization ability. I also love the popup and respond capabilities on a locked screen.
Does Handcent still look like ass? I looked at the Play Store screenshots and they look terrible... like how it did on Android 2.x. Maybe that kind of skinning was acceptable back in the day, but now its just regarded as ugly.

If you used to use BiteSMS on iPhone, why not try ChompSMS? It's by the same developers
