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.
