Brain Cramp...help

[Mongoose]

I don't seem to remember...or, know how to revert back to the OEM SMS/MMS/Email system. I am currently using Handcent and need to switch back.

I had posted earlier about having my text messages come thru "garbled" when using Swype/Shapewriter. Part of the solution was to determine whether Handcent may have been causing Swype to perform inconsistently so I have been running Handcent with Swype...now I want to switch back to the OEM SMS/MMS system to compare and can't seem to figure out how to do it...feeling kinda dumb...but could one of you tech guys respond...please...Thanks....:icon_ devil:

This works, yes.

EDIT: You will need to be sure to turn notifications on in the stock messaging app. Just open it: Menu > Settings > Notifications.

LOL...Hey man...thats way to easy.

Actually there is a selection screen in there somewhere and thats what I'm looking to access. I had to use it to select Handcent in the first place and now I need to get back to it...but I have forgotten how and all the "long pushes" and "taps" and "short pushes" I have done over the past few days have led to me to .... asking the question on the forum...Aughhh !!!! :icon_ devil:

Thanks RTT @Istus..I gave it a shot but that didn't work either. All I am looking for here is to get back to the default SMS system...right now that is Handcent.

I know that there is an "options" screen that pops up giving me a choice between "Handcent" and "Messaging". I need to find that...

Still stuck on Handcent...crazy thing...LOL :icon_ devil:

go into handcent in manage apps and clear defaults

edit 1 : in case you don't know how to do that hit menu/settings/applications/manage apps/ choose handcent/clear defaults

 

[Mongoose]

@CK..trying that one...sounds logical...:icon_ devil:

It's not logical it's how it works : )

when you clear that as your default open up a contact and choose to sms them. The option to choose Handcent or Messaging will appear put a check mark in "use as default" and choose messaging.

Done.

Issue resolved...CK..thanks for the input. I now have my options screen back and will begin seeing how Swype works with the OEM messaging system...have a great day...

@RTT...ok my friend...now you can shut it down. Thanks...:icon_ devil:

If you do not what to uninstall, this is what you must do. You beat me to it cereal killer.

Did you reactivate your notifications for the default messager and disable them for Handcent?
