I also get the Force Close when the phone tries to contact google. I have an EVO 4g if that makes a difference. The tablet logged right into google. I will try somemore tomorrow since I am off work and will send the report.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Safwaan:
Hi Having a similar issue as above when I try to login to Google after selecting my email address on my phone the application force closes, this worked fine on my tab 10.1, any advice? thanks

Edit: Forgot to mention the phone is a Xperia Play on stock 2.3.3
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Clust3r:
Awesome app, but i'm french and I think the letters "> < ç û î i ü " make a "json encode" error, and the message can't be send or received.

If you can fix this it'll be great.

Thank in advance :)

Phone memory issue

Superb app. Thank you.

Only issue I have is phone memory becoming low - huge syncsms db file. Using Motorola Xoom (rooted Honeycomb 3.2), HTC Desire (rooted Gingerbread 2.3.4) and ChompSMS. App installed on sdcard but I see syncsms data files are on phone's internal memory. Every time this happens the only way I can fix it is by uninstalling the app on the phone.

Other suggestions?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Yes my db file is over 112 mb in size and is crushing my /data partition available size. Can I clear or delete some of the records? The log record seems to be the biggest.

How do I delete the log or can I?

***Solution

Its possible to delete the the portion of the sync_sms.db which contains the log table records.

Its possible to do this directly on the phone (I'll list below), however in my case my data partition was so used up, I couldn't complete the operation. So two solutions listed below:

Phone Only solution (assuming you have enough room on your data partition)

cd /data/data/com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms/databases

***Sqlite3 functions to manipulate and delete the entire records within the log table

sqlite3 sync_sms.db

DELETE FROM log WHERE _id='-1';

****Compress the database to take advantage of the free space --- This next command is going to take a while to execute so go watch a TV show for 30 minutes or so

vacuum;

.exit

Computer only solution -- If you have sqlite3 executable on your computer you are in luck, if not download the following program: SQLLite Database Browser: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

Using adb, transfer the sync_sms.db file to your computer

If using the SQLLiteBrowser Program, open the database and go to Execute Tab

***For both Command Line or SQLLiteBrowser option -- DELETE FROM log WHERE _id='-1';

Using both these methods I didn't use the vacuum command since the database was automatically compressed, however I suppose you could try this command.

Using adb, move the altered database back to /data/data/com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms/databases

Reboot Phone --- Profit! Using this method I was able to free roughly 120Mb from my /data partition -- That's a lot of room since on my phone I only have /data partition 256Mb in size!!! Unless you want to keep adding to the log I would also suggest turning off the Debug logging option within the Sync SMS Settings. I'd also ask d0lph1nk1ng if he could just add this functionality to delete the log file withing the settings of the program -- that way it would be easy to do this!!!

Good luck

Hey d0lph1nK1ng,

Fantastic app! Any chance of reproducing this for whatsapp sync? I'd gladly pay double for it!

SyncSMS Question

I just purchased and installed SyncSMS on my Samsung 10.1, and want to install it on my Droid2, where can I download the SW for the phone? The Market wants $2.99 again...

Thanks!

Do you have the same google account on your Droid 2? If so, it shouldn't want your money - If not add the same account to the Droid 2. Just a thought :-)

This app worked perfect until about 8 hours ago. Now it is not sending anything to the tablet and I get an error if I try to send a message from the tablet. I cleared all data from both phone and tablet and logged back in to both but still no joy. Also, the widget is yellow instead of green. No errors in the log and no files in the dropbox folders either.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] woodiah:
I believe it may have been an issue with Drop Box's APK, had another app - Dropsync acting up last night and it is working this morning. We will have to see if SyncSMS is now.

Sent from my HTC EVO3D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] woodiah:
Well I meant say, there must have been a problem with Drop Box's API - And now I have confirmed it is working this morning.

It is troubling the developer hasn't shown during this outage - They used to be fairly active here. Hope they're still active and working to improve this app.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
uh oh, that's no good =] let me look into this further
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
the service on your tablet most likely needs to be restarted through the settings. currently there is a bug were the service is not starting properly on boot of the device.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Same for me, I show 4 hours behind in the messages I receive.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Attached v0.3.0 of the app to the OP. Major changes are a bugfix for service not starting on boot and tablet-optimized new layout
[Xoom Themes and Apps] StrifeSoldierVII:
I really like the new interface. It looks like an actual texting app, great job!

I made a post earlier about the sync time. I still think there should be an option to sync every 15 or 30 seconds if possible. My phone is on the charger at night and the tablet is always charged and ready to go, plus it gets excellent battery life, so either way its win win. We should at least have the option. ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Sorry, forgot to add that option. It will be in next release
[Xoom Themes and Apps] StrifeSoldierVII:
Really? That would be awesome! Surely you might agree that texts should be instant just like email. Although a one minute sync time at the current minimum is not bad at all. It is almost instant.

Or you could add a custom option that allows us to set our own sync time so we can set it to whenever we want. That would be pretty sweet. I would set it to sync somewhere between 1 and 5 seconds when I am at the house.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MvP77:
Coming along nicely!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wase4711:
is there any way to get notified that you got a text on the xoom?

like a popup window, or something?

If the program is not open and displayed in the foreground, how do you know that you received at text?

thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
if the program is not open and displayed in the foreground, then you will see a notification pop up when new SMS items are received by the tablet (you will see nothing on the phone)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wase4711:
is that the "default" setting?

I dont see that on my xoom..

thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fatimusprime:
Just chiming in to say I love the revised layout, its starting to feel like a real app now. xD Have you thought about throwing together an icon for the notification bar? The default apk icon is getting boring. lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
hahaha, i suppose...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Fourbells:
The apk doesn't want to download on my droid x i have astro installed. Any suggestions?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bishop72:
After reading through all the threads I decided to give this a shot. Very nice work. Couple of things. I am not receiving any notification sound when I receive a text on my XOOM. Also no screen pops up showing that a notification being received. Any way to place an icon on the tray, like when you receive email notifications, showing that you have received new text messages?

Overall great job!!!

Update: Very strange. After I wrote this I received a notification sound and the tray icon showing that I received new text. After playing around with it and sending multiple texts this is the first time that it did this. Any reason why?

Update 2: The notification sound and icon does not seem to be working all the time. Now I am back to not receiving the notification sound or tray icon to show that I have new messages.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] STAT1:
Also not receiving notifications on my xoom, but no problems sending /receiving, this is a great solution
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
For some reason, since the 0.3.0 update, the apps have been adding and removing files to my dropbox account over and over.

The phone puts em in, and the tablet takes em out as they run their updates, but they don't stop adding and removing them.

It seems like its only in the inbox folder thats seeing this behavior.

Gonna have to disable the app until I can figure out how to resolve this unfortunately, but definitely like the new layout.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
I noticed this last night as well. I kept getting Dropbox notifications on my Windows task-bar sayings xxxxxxx.json item was added or deleted. I didn't have any text messaging going on either.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Yea i noticed this too. Ill try to have a fix out tonight.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Can you please verifiy this is the behavior that you are seeing... After you compose and send an SMS from the tablet, message is shown on the tablet. Next time phone syncs, it sends the SMS out. Sent message from phone is then synced back to the tablet and shown as a duplicate at a slightly later timestamp. If this is the behavior you are seeing, I am working on the solution already.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] scottch699:
I also am having this same issue....

I am running the stock rom on a Tmoe mytouch 4g and have an asus transformer with Prime 2 running.

Also running Handcent SMS if that helps too.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:
Ditto. Stock moto electrify, (photon clone) and galaxy tab with cm7
[Xoom Themes and Apps] debh945:
If you have Handcent set up to be the default messaging application, you will not be able to sync correctly. That has been my experience. Make sure that in Handcent's application settings under Default Messaging application, it is set to "disable".

I was using Go SMS and syncs wouldn't work.. once I went back to using the default message app on my Infuse my Xoom would sync correctly. I really like the Go interface so that's kinda disappointing.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bluedragon1982:
Realy like this app. I hope there will be push noticication (push update soon)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] scottch699:
I too was using a 3rd party app Handcent SMS. Once I took it off my phone and reverted back to my default SyncSMS started working flawlessly.

I wonder if with all the updates I have seen with Handcent if they made a small change that effected Sync in a big way.

BTW I am not using a Xoom..... I am on an Asus Transformer TF101
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:
I second this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cheapmeat:
This is a great program... Really like the not having to use bluetooth.. and push notifications works great. Just wish.. really wish.. that it would be able to send multiple messages as one and not split them up in 160 pr message.

But... seems it might have been abandoned.. though i hope the developer will be back.. eventually...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:

Hey everybody,

It's been a very busy couple of months for me. I got engaged, bought my first house, moved to a new city, and changed jobs. I apologize for losing touch with the community, but I am writing you now to say that I am in the process of catching up on support mail and forum posts (since page 77). When that is complete, I'd like to push out a smaller sized maintenance update for the app. After that, I'd like to add a few smaller features, but unfortunately push notifications will not be one of them due to the fact that Google has increased App Engine pricing significantly. Please give me a little time to catch up and hopefully I can continue upon the decent successes we've had.

Thanks,

DK

which device is the option greyed out for (tablet or phone)? this product is not designed for use with Sending Messages from the tablet. texts are Composed on the tablet and /actually/ sent via the phone, so the option is disabled. the option /should/ be enabled on the phone though, and if not, that is a bug
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kingpongg:
I'm glad to hear your good personal news as well as the good news about continuing work on this app.

The push notifications are what makes this app so powerful for me so I'm sad to hear you may not persue the feature. I don't know how the app engine licencing works but could you offset the cost by charging extra for this feature maybe in a premium version? If we'are talking $20 a pop then it's probably not feasible but I'd pay an extra few bucks for a version with push.

Thanks for the great product regardless.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Hmm didn't know this option even existed. Did with the 5 or so numbers that were duplicated and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks.

Fixing my own problems...

Hey great job with this, I love sync software of this nature. I ran into a hiccup and thought I'd relate it in hopes of helping others.

I successfully was able to set it up on my ASUS Transformer + HTC Evo, sending messages via both phone and tablet worked correctly, however I was unable to receive incoming messages on my tablet. After much experimentation (and 2 PMs to the dev) I discovered that since I was using Handcent to manage my SMS's I had enabled the following setting:

Application Settings: Default Messaging Application

Set handcent as the default messaging application and entirely disable the stock and other third-party applications for SMS or MMS

As soon as I disabled that, everything started working correctly. Apparently having this turned on disabled SyncSMS's access to messages, preventing it from seeing/uploading them to dropbox.

Another hiccup I ran into, which I missed on the first message, was that to enable [beta] Push notifications, enter the settings menu and tap Version 10 times until it unlocks "Enable Push Notifications". (More info on 1st post)

I'm loving everything, though I'd like to suggest/request a feature:

Personally I have no qualms about SyncSMS managing all of my messages, including deleting. I would like an option to have *all* my SMS's from my phone (including old ones) stored in dropbox, (the encryption is a nice touch) and synchronize the deletions between devices. As it stands I would love to have all my past messages on my tablet as well, but it appears to only support new messages. (currently, I see the disabled menu option for this)

Two benefits of this model would be that you could un-delete any messages directly via dropbox, (obviously easier if you disable encryption) and it would be a simple matter to add a message status element to the json being passed, containing "unread", "read", and optionally "deleted". (the latter being if you want messages stored in dropbox but removed from the device, which opens up the option to use SyncSMS to recover deleted messages....

That's enough rambling for me, I love it so far, catch you around!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] macknup:
Any Updates on the status of this app. This is one of the few paid apps I have and am getting increasingly disappointed with it. I remember when the developer first raised concerns over piracy and no user support via purchasing... this is what causes people to rip off and "steal" apps.

Why pay for a product that ceases functionality or ends support right after it gets going?

I get that DK was a busy busy guy in recent months, but don't promise news or an update and then follow up with nothing.. even a post or two to say hey still here.. making headway.. but as far as I can tell.. there seems to be none of that.

Thoughts?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Give the guy a break. Releases in the early day were never cranked out on a daily or weekly basis. The app can definitely be improved, however its very functional in its current state. Releases will be released when they are ready.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:
I don't expect daily updates, but the last update was June 29 2011. That's an extremely large span for a semi functional paid app. especially when the dev completely drops out of sight. I am extremely glad hes back, and hope he continues development, but right now its not functional enough to use daily.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Agreed its a very long time between updates. I really wish there were a lot of updates in that span as well. I'm curious however why you don't find this functional enough for everyday use. I've been using this program for months now on a nearly everyday basis with push notifications enabled. It works great!!

[Xoom Themes and Apps] pandafloski:
I think this app has great potential as both a phone-tablet app as well as phone-phone app. I have my nexus S still (moved to verizon) and I'd like to still use it as a sort of second phone since I have google voice. This could bridge that gap nicely. I can use it somewhat, but everything's big and bulky for tablets. Create a phone-to-phone option and I think you'll start seeing another crowd join in on this app.

Here's what this app needs to be successful:

- Phone-to-phone option (could work nice with things like the galaxy player)

- sync with google account (dropbox is nice, but less new accounts the better. It's annoying having the option listed by greyed out)

- Better interface

- Biggest is to make it free and have a pro/donate version that maybe has the added feature of something (sync with google, more/less frequent intervals, indexing previous, something to that extent)

I was looking into making an app like this myself some day, but this is a great foundation that could become something much more. Stop worrying about piracy when you offer up the source code.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
you could always try without push. the quotas for free service are pretty low, so if i go over those, it will not function. push is not officially supported. that aside, yes, i did not get a chance to update or improve the app much, but i left it in a working state.

i am still planning on releasing a small maintenance update and trying to inform people about the most common error i see: a 3rd party sms app preventing other apps from getting sms notifications (this is out of my control, but my app gets a bad rap for it not working anyhow)
