Duplicate text messages Handcent msgs

I downloaded the handcent application and it sends out duplicate text messages. People have gotten the same message from me anywheres from 2-5 times. Not everytime, but still annoying is there a way to fix this problem. It has gotten worse just recently

Hi, I understand that you are having an issue with the handcent app sending multiple text to your contacts. All you need to do is un-install the app. If the app is one that you really like to use, go back to the ANDROID MARKET and re-install it.

i have the same set up with Handsent Text Messaging on mine. heres how i did it. first,,,, open the default text messaging app (its called "Text Messaging"). It comes installed permanantly in your phone so you cant uninstall it. easyest way to find it is go into the app drawer to locate Text Messaging and open it. touch the menu button, then open Messaging settings, next, i want you to uncheck everything on that page of the settings of that application. all the checkboxes should look dimmed. once this is done, close. power down and restart your phone. Then open Handsent and text someone and see if that worked.

When you download a new messaging application on the phone you would want to make sure that the old messaging application is closed. The default messaging application is probably running in the back ground causing duplicate messages.

Lets try 3 things to correct this issue:

First you would want to disable the default messaging application.

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Touch a service (select the default messaging application).
Choose the default messaging application.Touch Stop.

Second could I get you to do a soft reset on the device.

Soft Reset

Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.

Third:

Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.

Then re-check your applications, making sure the default messaging application is not running.
