Ok, so i finally realized the battery drain everyone is talking about. I only got about 9 hours out of mine.
The question I have is this, is a complete factory restore required in order to get the workaround working? I'm hoping to be able to just power down and install Handcent and call it good. I'm not quite following how the "fix" is supposed to work. If it's as simple as just installing the Handcent app, powering the phone down and then powering up again and then changing the notification settings in messaging, that's not a big deal, but if I have to factory reset, it may be a deal breaker, as i just spent the last 3 days setting it up
Any help?
