Is there a work-around for using a 3rd part text app (go sms pro) on the samsung epic 4g so that it does not interfere with the voice mail app on the phone?
thank you.....

"out doing"???? what are you talking about???
I'll try to be more specific;
IF i install go sms pro (3rd party text app) and someone leaves me a voice mail message, I do not get the message. I receive a text from spring telling me to call a number......
i contact sprint tech support. i was told that the voice mail app on the phone will not work with a 3rd party text app. somehow, they are linked. once i removed the go sms app, i received my voice mail messages....
sorry i was not clearer....

Also what ROM are you using ? Stock ? Aosp ?

damn. i even work for sprint and had NO idea that go sms was the culprit. me, my girlfriend, and 5 other customers all had the same thing. i just switched us all to google voice. it works great! give handcent a try and let us know, but if you prefer go, i can always help you set up GV
Go sms works just don't override the other notifications when you install. Uninstall reinstall then disable stock notification.
If that doesn't work I've seen a walkthrough fix on sprintusers.com

GREAT....Thank you. I'll give it a try. I installed Handcent last night, and it does work
I'm glad I found this forum to post that to....Handcent is working fine, but I'll try the options given for go sms also. Thanks for the offer to help with GV. It's appreciated..
well i tried that and it's still sending me a text message from "9016" telling me to call Sprint. (I think i did!! that's the option on the go sms app to over-ride the other notifications, correct?..i did try it both ways and it isn't working)...I posted the question on sprintusers.com. i appreciate the time from all of you.
Handcent is working, so I might just go ahead and keep using that app.
It definitely works for go sms. You just have to make sure you're not allowing the over ride when installing. I say give it a go sms

ok...How do you not allow it while it's installing? sorry..but i'm def not a developer!!
thank you.
EUREKA!!Got it. After installing the app, go to the app --> advance settings --> Notification Settings and make certain that the box for "Enable notifications" is UNCHECKED. Problem solved!
I have been using GO SMS PRO and I tell you the thing rocks with absolutely no problems. I am using it in my EPI 4G Touch with no problems.
I downloaded Handcent toady and play with it a bit but in my opinion it cna not compare.
The only thing I noticed with GO SMS is that when you attached a picture to your text if you use the GO option instead off the MMS option some people might not be able to see it.

It is messing with the voicemail because you have the default messaging app checked. Uncheck and you should be golden.

Make sure it isn't check and you will still have notifications.
