Hancent Question (Hope this is the correct forum)
Alright, so I appologize first off if this is being posted in the wrong forum...I have Handcent SMS installed on my Vibrant. Approximately a month ago, whenever I get a message, I get whichever message notification I have set up (either default or personalized for the contact) and then I also get some white envelope icon.

That's correct. Handcent, just like ChompSMS, is meant to replace the native messaging application and notification; granted the native apps' notifications have been deactivated. I have done so, and I am still getting a double notification, but that additional "white envelope" notification that I'm getting is not the one that pops up by the native app. So I'm trying to figure out why it's happening on both of my Android devices.

Installing handcent doesn't disable the standard messaging app's notification (which is a white envelope IIRC.) You have to open the android messaging app and, in the settings, disable automatically receive incoming messages. It sounds to me like you disabled the notification sound, but not the visual notification in the notification bar.
