Baygolf, yeah it has been uploaded. sometimes there is a short delay by google before it goes live. give it another try
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The-Kevster:
Awesome. Loving the new look.

Good to have you back!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 3devious:
Has anyone tried TexTab? I'm using the trial version of that. Instead of synching w/ dropbox, it uses a Bluetooth connection. I was wondering if any of you have used both and if you liked SyncSMS better.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cheapmeat:
I have tried both, and prefer syncsms. Mainly because it uses dropbox so i dont have to keep bluetooth on and connected..

My main problem is still that messages over 160 chars are split into multiple messages. Besides that... love this product.. and really good to see you're back d0lph1nK1ng... :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
just pushed SyncSMS v0.8.1 to the market to fix some FCs some people were getting along with fixing some other small bugs. it should be available shortly
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
out of the items in the backlog in the OP, or anything new, what do you guys think is most important to add next?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
I'd vote regex filtering (since I'm the one who asked for it), but also the feature to mark the text read on the phone if its been viewed on the tablet. I guess this would logically flow into the other item on your list -- read/unread. All in all this app is very solid. If there were only a way to make it do MMS it would be king!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Torqd505:
Thanks for the update. You have fixed my force close issue! This is a now a very handy app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] naturefreak85:
I have 1 issue with the software and 1 request.

My issue is when composing the text on the tablet, the tablet only autoloads contacts with numbers under "Other" if I want to text someone who is on my list, I have to load the full contact list and search for them. It should default load the "Mobile" contacts.

The request is for MMS to sync.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Mms is on the to do list and your other issue can be fixed by waiting just a little bit longer before choosing the contact
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thunderbox666:
Hey all,

I have been using this app for a while now between Galaxy S2 and Asus Transformer and loving it - only complaint is the delay between getting a message on two despite the settings in the software, but I think that is more my internet, not the software.

On the weekend my phone had an unfortunate date with a large amount of water and I have had to get a new one. What I want to know is, is there a way I can extract this DB back into my new phone (handcent)?

I have root access on both devices if that helps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
thunderbox666 - sorry, but unfortunately not
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
One more feature request to add to the list:

When I currently receive a message on the tablet, I get a popup toast that states New SyncSMS message. I would be great if the toast could be altered to something like that of the gmail toast message. Something that would say who the message was from, and maybe the first line of the message (or the available characters that could be displayed within the popup toast). I believe this would expand the utility of the sms notifications and improve it on an individual basis by customizing each toast message to deliver more relevant information.

I hope that was clear, maybe it wasn't.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Sounds good and I already have that on the to do list
[Xoom Themes and Apps] brds85:
I made that same suggestion months and months and months and months ago :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] macknup:
i appreciate the updateand increased communication.

any eta or word on when anew (enhanced) version will be released?

my only problem with current functionality is the delay between phone receiving message and it making its way to the tablet. i have push enabled but its still delayed.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mr Zulu:
Been using this app for a few days now and love it. I've got push enabled and seems to work very well after the tablet has been connected to wifi for 40 minutes or so. Before that wait time, doesn't seem to get pushed messages no matter what I do. After that wait period, the tablet gets the sms a second or two after my phone which is very cool. I don't disconnect and reconnect a lot so I'm ok with that limitation given I haven't found another option that works at all for me.

The one thing I wish this program had that it doesn't is an unread count widget. I don't really need the one that toggles it off and on but would like a 1x1 widget that that showed unread count and opened the app when pressed.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
no eta's on new version.

the push notification delay issue has been hard to track down. it appears that when the device is in deep sleep, it does not get the push notification alert. i have also noticed this delay with other Android Push Notification (C2DM) users like the Chrome to Phone app. what is the max delay length you are looking at?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
this app currently does not have a read/unread feature. i would like to get that added eventually. i will consider creating a widget when that happens. thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
the push notification thing is sporadic for me. I've waited anywhere from 30 seconds to several hours to get the notification. I always thought it was network related
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wase4711:
bought your app from day one, and love it!

Problem is that yesterday, I got the ICS update on my XOOM, and now, it doesn't appear that your app works anymore..

Is it me, or is this now not compatible with XOOM running ICS?

Thanks so much!

EDIT:

I think I was just impatient; it appears to be working....will test more in a bit
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Should work with ICS. Works on galaxy nexus but I don't have tablet with ICS yet.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
EDIT: n/m, false alarm
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Just wanted to confirm or report an error -- No syncing is going on for me right now -- Enabling the log on the phone states over and over again:

Error inserting history record for sent sms message. Not sure why that is.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
please send me the log from phone and tablet and i'll put it in the queue to have a look at. based on the error message, the syncing should still occur, just sounds like not able to save a copy for record keeping.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] merlinx85:
i'm going to try this app now...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_other_ray:
I have syncsms installed on my stock, unrooted Xoom with ice cream sandwich and it works just fine with my Xperia play.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] macknup:
I noticed the OP states there are changes ready for next release. is this release set to be out soon or is there still some significant changes you (DK) wish to make prior to release?

Also I would be happy to test. As I stated previously this is one of the FEW paid apps I utilize on a consistent basis (and in fact now have convinced a large number of collegues to try/use as well,) that I would love to see develop further. This, along with cloud for videos/music, are the 2 elements needed to effectivley coexist a mobile phone and tablet w.o the use of IM software.

If there is anything I can do, please send me a private message as I have a number of spare cycles I would thoroughly enjoy spending evolving and advancing this software. Pro Bono of coarse ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
glad to hear it! thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
There is no schedule =] When I get what I feel is like a good chunk of related stuff added and I test it thoroughly, then I will release an update. Seeing as the stuff that I recently found is important bug fixes, it will likely be a smaller update that I push out fairly soon. I would like to add some cool new features though so stay tuned!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Fairly soon = now! I just pushed out the latest update. Enjoy!

v0.8.2

- Added optional persistent notification when service is running or in Do-Not-Sync mode

- Bugfixes for Do-Not-Sync interval, service start/stop, and widget status

Dup texts after SyncSMS update

I've been using SyncSMS to allow me to text from my tablet. It's a great app and it's worked flawlessly for the past 5 months.

This afternoon I noticed an update for the SyncSMS app, so I downloaded it. Sometime later, I received a text message from my wife and shortly afterwards began to receive duplicate texts. I continued to receive multiple duplicate texts from various people. After trying soft and hard resets, I decided to call AT&T support and they had me go through other various resets, but to no avail. They finally suggested that I needed to do a master reset, which I declined. I remembered that I had downloaded the SyncSMS update earlier in the day and decided to uninstall the app completely. After doing so, I immediately stopped receiving duplicate texts.

Any idea why the update would have caused the dup texts?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cabrone1:
Great application, use it on my Nexus S 4G and Kindle Fire. After the update today I noticed significant battery drain on my NS4G. Question regarding the push notifications. Even when they are enabled it is necessary to sync in the background and you recommend between 1 and 4 hours. Is this for both devices and why is it necessary?

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
This is odd. Please have a text sent to your phone, wait 5min, then send me the log from SyncSMS on the phone via Menu > Show Log > Menu > Send Log. I will look into this. Do you have duplicate detection enabled in the settings?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
The battery drain is likely coincidence as the update only changed very minor things. When push is enabled, background sync is still necessary between 1 and 4 hours because there is no API for my app to get instantly notified when you /send/ an SMS from your phone, so every 1-4 hrs, the app syncs all the sent messages over to the tablet so you have a complete view of the conversation.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kalibr:
Unfortunately, I uninstalled the app, so don't suppose I can access the logs now. Btw, aside from the duplicate texts, I also noticed the phone was lagging considerably and had a significant battery drain, which had never happened before. It went back to normal after I uninstalled the app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Sorry the app didn't work out for you. It is rare that I hear about these issues, so I love to iron them out to improve the app when I do
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cabrone1:
I need a lesson in push notification lol:)

[Xoom Themes and Apps] StanleyCup2011:
This is a great APP. This post is to thank you for creating it and telling you how useful it is to me!

I am USA based, but when I travel overseas, I have a local SIM card with a local number. I don't want to have to give everyone I know my local number. I'd like to still get text messages when they are sent to my USA phone but I don't want to carry my USA phone and SIM because I don't want to carry two phones. So my solution was to leave my USA SIM card in a spare Android phone I have, plugged in, turned on and sitting on at my desk in USA. This phone is running an app called "SMS forwarding" by Tony Shen. That app forwards incoming SMS to any email address or another phone number. It also sends an email or text when there is a missed incoming call. This has worked great, as I can see incoming SMS to my USA phone with that phone being 8000 miles away. But replying to the SMS with the reply coming from my USA phone number is the hard part. T-Mobile USA does not support sending SMS from the web (as if it came from your phone) and I looked at solutions like spoofing the caller id of a text message so it would appear to be coming from my USA phone but that is fraught with problems.

SyncSMS is perfect, now I can read messages AND reply from my USA number! I might leave SyncSMS and SMSForwarding both running on my USA phone, so I can still get copies of the SMS in my email, as will as missed call notification. I hope the two apps get along nicely, as they are both interacting with the incoming text message database on the phone (possibly at the same time.)

Anyway, just wanted to say THANKS!!!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
You are welcome, stanley. Enjoy!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] yellaCat:
Hi folks , there are many apps that are doing similar things in SMS - syncsms, dgaway, phoneleash, desksms etc . I would like your guidance on when to consider one or other. Some are paid, so do not want to pay just to try and not like!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
This post should be moved to the question and answer subsection of the xoom forum. This post is only for syncsms.

I'm having an issue on my transformer prime...I get logged out of my dropbox account about every other day. If I look in settings, "log in" will be highlighted as if I'm not logged in, but when I tap log in, I see the un / pw fields and immediately get the toast notification "logged into dropbox" and then things keep working as normal. Anyone experienced this?

Recieving but not Sending

Hi,

Recieving the SMS message on my Tranformer Prime works without a problem. Really like this.

However, if I want to send a message, the SMS is synced with mit Desire S, it is also shows as a sent message in the SMS app of the Desire S, however, it acctually is not sent.

I can see for example that there is not the symbol which shows if the message was delivered or not as it should be there, the message looks like a sent message just without the delivery notification symbol...and it is acctually not sent.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] matheprat:
I bought the app. Sending messages from my tablet works fine, but not all of the messages received on my phone appear in my tablet. Is this a known bug? Bit disappointed really...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I have not seen this. Perhaps try logging out of Dropbox and logging in again?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Is it possible for you to Enable debug logging in the app options under behavior then recreate the issue and send the developer the log by (menu > view log > menu > send log) on both devices?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Please read the FAQ in the app's Help section of the app settings. There is an entry about 3rd party SMS app settings which is likely your issue and can be resolved easily.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
To anyone who still follows this, I believe I have found the source of the delays for push notification users. It stems from Google App Engine's new billing routine. The server is getting cutoff because the free daily quota has been exceeded. I am looking into alternative solutions. Sorry for the inconvenience!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ruvort:
Awesome job. Thank you for staying on top of this sir :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] matheprat:
I read that before posting. I'm not using a third party SMS app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Please enable Debug logging in the Settings > Behavior section, recreate the issue, and send me logs from both tablet and phone. In the email please mention your XDA username. I'll take a look at what is going on. Sorry for the inconvenience!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I just made some changes to the server part of SyncSMS. The server part is used as an interface between the Android app and the Google Push Notification server. These changes should allow you to receive push notifications more quickly, especially when your 2nd device has had its screen off for more than 20min. The was a bug that had been causing the other device to not receive the notification until the screen was turned back on.

Please let me know if anybody still has the following issue occurring: tablet screen has been off for around 20min or more, phone gets new incoming SMS, phone sends push notification to tablet, and tablet does not make a sound indicating new SMS received within 0-5min.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] matheprat:
Thanks, I've sent you the logs.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
Just purchased this app. So far it works fine but I'm not a big fan of the colours. Dev, can you add a dark theme to it at some stage?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I've added this to the todo-list. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
It appears it doesn't sync all contacts. Some contacts are missing when I type in receivers. Dev, and let me know if you need more info to look into this. Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Wait a little longer before you start to type, they load asynchronously. I will try to improve this workflow.

EDIT: i just coded in a fix. you should see an improvement in the next release
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Greenblob:
so will this work between an android tablet and a jailbroken IOS device?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:
I'm giving this app another shot , right now I'm having issues with random text outgoing from phone not synching with tablet. Inbound are fine, and it's not very often, maybe one out of every five outbound. This is with regular interval, no push. any advice?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
it's hard to tell if it's random then could be based on content of message there is some bug in encoding the message. if it always happens at similar times of the day, then it could be bug in the Do Not Sync interval.

do this: check if you see the "missing outgoing text from phone" listed in the phone's syncsms message history view. if it is there, check what the status is (should be uploaded or synced). if it is not in the list or shows Error status, send me a log from the phone and tablet.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] NinjaMom:
What are the best settings for push? Do you need to be logged into Google and Dropbox? What is best sync interval for timely syncing and battery life?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Enable push, signed in to Google and drop box, sync every hour to pick up sent messages for phone, everything else close to instant and minimal impact on battery
[Xoom Themes and Apps] NinjaMom:
Thanks. Loving the app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Glad to hear it. Be sure to rate the app in the Android Market!

Also, I'm looking forward to the next release with many new features: sync past SMS, unread message thread indicators, improved notifications, and many bug fixes. Hope to have it out within a week or two...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
Sounds great! Looking forward to it, and to a possible dark theme option :)

This is a brilliant app!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thatoneguy.:
This is the feature I'm most looking forward too!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] yepayepa:
I've just bought this app, and it looks very good.

After fighting to enable push feature, I've found that I have to tap 19 times the version number, not 20.

I hope that will helps new users ;-)

Keep up the good work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
I must have tapped 100 times... Yet nothing
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Tap Really fast on version number
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
That worked - thanks! However, it seems that sent messages are no longer working since I installed the beta version of the latest Dropbox app: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=52900
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
The Dropbox app has zero effect on this app. There may be a bug, hopefully it is fixed with this next update.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slonn:
Cool! Thanks for quick feedback.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Did somebody say dark theme? :-)

Nice app

Very nice, but I don't get the push to work. Do I have to make any other settings than setting up the google login in the app on both devices? Seems it just syncs at the given interval in the settings. Do the Google account syncing options (in android settings) have to be in a certain way?

Thanks again for a great app.

Please read the instructions in the help FAQ in the app settings. If that doesn't help then please share more detail about the issue.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bathyon:
Edit: Uninstalled the app. Changed ROM on my phone. Did the installation again and VOILA!!! Works like a charm!

Sorry if I was unclear. This is what I have done and what I experience:

I have installed the app on both my tablet and phone and got it to sync in the interval given in the settings. No problem there. Then I thought I would test the push function. I clicked the version nr 20 times to activate the google login. I then connected to my google account, and followed the instructions under the Setup Guide. I didn't get the "allow C2DM" part of it but other than that all points in the guide has been completed on both phone and tablet.

Now the problem:

I doesn't seem to push the sync. The syncing just continues on the interval in the settings or if I do it manually and not when the message arrives. I thought the push function would sync the tablet within a few seconds from the moment the phone recieves a sms but it doesn't.

Question:

1. How can I check the "C2DM" part and what is it for?

2. I'm a noob so I thought that maybe the Google account sync settings in Androids general settings would be have to be set a given way (for example, mail must sync). Just my poor way of trying to find an answer :).

Sorry if I'm not explaining myself enough regarding this, but I get no error messages or fails anywhere so it all seems right but with no luck.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
I'm on ICS on my Galaxy Nexus (4.0.4) and ICS on my Xoom (4.0.3) and I can't get push enabled. I tapped really fast on version number but the options still appear greyed out.

Am I missing something?

Edit: NVM. Must not have been tapping fast enough :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
no, that's what I'm running and it's working good. tap super fast for like 20 er 30 times. i will make this a lil easier to trigger =]
