er -- thanks! (feel like an idiot) Missed that on the first page.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Just so you know, no news is good news. I'm working on knocking out a lot of the smaller items from the feature backlog for the next release. No ETA at the moment

Syncronize Deletes

Is there a way to syncronize deletes? If a delete a text on the tablet will it delete the same message on the phone?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
Probably would have the same problem as syncing the read-status (in that it would cost valuable push notifications). However, should be doable in a similar fashion.

Actually i have been thinking about the read-status thingy and in all honesty i don't think that needs to be as instantaneous as receiving the message so syncing read status and deletes via drop-box in user-defined intervals seems like a decent solution. You don't need to use push notifications for everything.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i will look into synchronizing read status over polling (you need to poll every hour-ish anyways to get sent messages from phone over to the tablet). i do not want to go near deleting messages though, as that is a touchy subject for some people. i do not want to be the "rogue app deleting people's messages" =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i've read that some people are concerned about the security of their sms messages. so, i just wanted to let you know that the next release will include security features such as those listed below. as always, feel free to suggest features you'd like

1) App Password Lock

2) Encrypted dropbox message storage
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jtseidner:
I don't know if it has been mentioned yet but I am having time issues on the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1. I just switched to it from the xoom. My SMS will say 6pm while the other persons SMS will say 1am. As a result all my texts go to the top of the message thread while my friends stay at the bottom. I am using the default dropbox method but I'm trying push notifications now.

Edit: same thing with push enabled. Other than the time being wrong and messing up the thread, everything else seems to work great on the 10.1
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Enable network time on phone and tablet
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DManDark:
Just started using this app today and I like it already. For two possible enhancements, I would like to suggest a word count when creating a text on the tablet and the syncing of deleted texts so you don't have to delete it on both devices. Thanks!

Edit: Just saw your post from above. Maybe you could make the deleting message syncing be an option that could be turned off. I for one would like it. Also, the user defined intervals for read and delete updates instead of pushing is fine with me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i'll add the character counter next release, please see post #622 above for deleted message response. enjoy!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jtseidner:
I don't have that option in the Settings for Date and Time. Maybe because it's wifi only?

However, I noticed that although my time was correct I did not have a time zone selected. I selected a time zone and then it fixed everything. Thank you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sandelb:
Just bought this app this afternoon and having been putting it through the some testing. I have push notifications enabled and for the most part they work, but I am running into an issue.

Phone - Droid 1, CM 7.0.3

Tablet - GT 10.1

My issue is that unless the sync sms app is open on my phone (as in its the focused app up on screen right now) it won't forward the message onto my tablet or even recognize it *has* a new message. The rest of the phone gets the message, notifications pop up, etc but sync ignores it. I've dropped the widget onto my homescreen to make sure the service is running when doing my tests and it always says, "on". But without fail, if the sync app is on screen things work fine, if it isn't, no dice. Like I said, this issue is with the phone. Had zero problems on the tablet end.

I have a couple guesses what could be causing this (GB's aggressive memory management, something CM is doing, etc) but if anyone out there has any tips let me know.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] debh945:
I noticed that in data/data/com.dolph1nk1ng.syncsms/files that there are hundreds and hundreds of .json files. I realize they are 0 bytes but they still significantly slow down a nandroid backup as each one is backed up. Is there anyway code the app so that they are deleted after they are synced (like they are in dropbox?)

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Sorry, my bad. I deleted the files used for passing the message, but when I added support for statuses, it required passing another file and those did not get deleted. I will clean those up.

Can you please confirm that those 0 byte files had a format like ?_??????????_??????????????????.json where ? is a number
[Xoom Themes and Apps] debh945:
yes, the first number was a 2, then the second number was the phone number, and the third was a long random number.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
great, the problem was what i thought it was then. i can't clean up old files, but i will prevent new files from getting left behind in the next release. thanks for reporting this
[Xoom Themes and Apps] debh945:
Thanks! I just deleted all the old ones with Root Explorer.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jasontd101:
Contacts not recognized

I have the droid X and Asus eee pad and love the Sync SMS app but have 1 issue. My contacts on my Asus ee pad all the contact show as +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx and when the sms text messages come in from Sync SMS they do not have the +1 and have a number of (xxx) xxx-xxxx so they do not sync properly with my droid tablet contacts.

How can this be resolved so when new messages come in from Sync SMS they will show the properly contact details in my Droid Tablet contact list?

Note my tablet run Droid OS 3.0 honeycomb
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
@jason, i will look into that.

@everyone, i just wanted to remind everyone again that Push Notifications are in open public beta and the instuctions to enable are at the bottom of the original post in this thread
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
So when are you releasing those "read for release" features? ;-)

PS: On my galaxy s II (running in tablet mode), the app sometimes captures incoming SMS and then gives me a separate notification a minute or too after the sms app told me there was a message. But it doesnt seem very consistent.

If you need it i may be able to provide the debug log :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jasontd101:
thank you very much!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
No ETA at the moment, but the next features that I am adding currently have my local build of the app in an unstable state, so I will need to finish their implementation =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sadlove:
i loved this app and i'm happy to buy it

There's something need to fix

Like if i received or sending a two pages sms its send it every page alone

B.r.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
if the text is longer than 160 characters, it is split into two messages. that is good, correct?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] georg.madler:
It is good but there is also some kind of problem, if I use SyncSMS to send a message that is longer than 160 chars the message is shown as 2 separate messages on my phone, each one with a size of (up to) 160 chars. However if I text the same message directly on my phone it is not split (at least not displayed as split) but as a single large message on both the sending and receiving phone. Now if that message is then synced to my Xoom it is displayed as one large message there, too.

Another bug hat I found while testing this:

While composing a message to a new contact (using the "new"-button in the upper right corner) the character limit still seems to be 160 chars.

Thanks,

Georg
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
ok, let me see what I can do to try to handle the split messages better. as for the 2nd bug you reported, that is known and simply an oversight on my part. it will be fixed in the next update. thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keridel:
i would love to try this BETA app but will not pay for £2 for a beta. Shame.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
The choice is yours, but the app is NOT in beta. It is a stable app with no more bugs than any other app. The app does have one feature that I am adding that is in beta, but that is just an enhancement. Hope you you change your mind so that you don't miss out :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keridel:
with all due respect it looks amazing but the app version is 0.66 that makes it a beta by any standard definition.

for me to think about parting with money i would want to see it as a full edition.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I shall bump the version number to 2.0 in the next update then =] Enjoy your day.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keridel:
thank you for your response and slight facetiousness.

i look forward to seeing it as a full app that i will purchase :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stinky73:
Works well on tab Google IO running 3.1 and desire hd, except for character limit and fragmented messages if larger than 160. Be great if you can sort it out in version "2" ;) as for the totally extortionate price my liver thanks you for making me drink one less pastis than usual to be able to afford the app :D

Selectable notification sound would be good rather than default system notification sound.

Push notification seems to work ok as well

- many thanks for your great work :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mr.BeBoT:
Great Ap d0lph1nK1ng!

I'm currently using it with my Evo4g / Asus Transformer and started testing it with MightyText (formerly Texty) for Chrome

I've already sent my findings to them but got a pretty crummy response. Perhaps it's not possible and they just don't explain things like you do in this thread.

To MightyText Devs:

"Is there anyway to make it work with Syncsms? (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms)

Current testing shows the phone to retain a complete thread regardless of sms origination (as it should be). But Syncsms will not show messages sent from texty and vice versa. Both Syncsms and texty will show received messages however."

Response from them:

"We are using the standard listeners that the Android API provides."

Just wanted to add for your information that when I turned on my TF today my message threads did somehow sync to become a complete thread showing even the messages that originated from Texty but I was unable to do this last night and I tried:

-restarting service

-restarting TF

-manually syncing

-waiting for the 1hr that I set my sync interval to.

I just tried recreating it now and messages I've sent from Texty have not shown up on SyncSMS so far.

Thanks again for an awesome ap, here's hoping we can complete the circle!

EDIT: SyncSMS displayed my recent texts from MightyText/Texty after I responded to a different SMS thread and returned to the SMS thread in question. I had not manually synced nor has my 1hr interval gone up...it's been about 20mins since I originally sent the text via Texty.

@d0lph1nK1ng

i had been using Sync SMS on my Nook Color along with my EVO 4G and works great.

however, on 06/22/11 i activated my new EVO 3D

and yesterday on the NC flashed a new CM7 Nightly and OC Kernel (internal/emmc)

and now when i get a voice mail on the EVO 3D

i'm getting in the Sync SMS (only) the:

//ANDROID:908xxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message.

Call 408xxxxx to listen.

what do i do to get rid of those //ANDROID messages

that only show up in Sync SMS ?

thanks !
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
character limit is fixed on main screen, but accidentally did not apply the fix to the compose new msg screen. the fragmented 160 character is intentional for cdma devices, but i am working to get multipart added. custom notify sound is coming in next update. thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
mr.BeBoT,

i'm not sure when MightyText syncs the texts that were sent from MightyText to the phone's sent message internal database. once that happens (and you can see the sent message from your native or 3rd party messaging app), then SyncSMS needs to sync the messages that were sent from the phone (but really from mightytext) up to dropbox in the cloud. once that is complete, the tablet needs to check in with dropbox in the cloud and pull down those "sent from phone/MT" messages. depending on the timing/order it may happen quickly or after a couple of syncs. enjoy both of those quality apps =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
lowetax,

i am not familiar with the Sprint Google Voice integration. it must somehow be notifying you of a new voicemail via sms but perhaps they have coded their messaging app to ignore those messages. so, unfortunately there is not much i can do
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lowetax:
i don't use - don't even have a Google Voice account -

let alone that integration.

i'll figure it out.

thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
Great.. love the app.. Keep rolling out updates.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
FYI update phone and tablet at same time or messages won't get decrypted properly from dropbox
[Xoom Themes and Apps] SolusCado:
I'm going to have to side with d0lph1nK1ng on this one. Is your determination that it is unworthy of your money based purely on the version number of the software? If so, does d0lph1nK1ng changing the version number to 1.0, or 2.0, or any other number actually make you feel better about parting with $5? If you have specific concerns of features or bugs that you would like addressed, say so - he can't fix something he doesn't know about. If you're just cheap, admit it.

The fact is it is an excellent tool that does precisely what it is supposed to (and is the only tool I know of that DOES provide this functionality). Even more importantly, the developer is very active in supporting it, fixing bugs, and adding new features. That alone is worth the cost of admission.

BTW, d0lph1nK1ng - I know it is practically a whole new application, but if you could build a desktop version as well (that also uses DropBox like this), we would have a much better option than Google's Chrome-based solution for sending/receiving SMSs. Hell, you could even integrate it into Microsoft Outlook and have an application for businesses that would sell immensely well (I would think). Actually, come to think of it, I would love to be able to integrate this functionality into my SharePoint platform (http://www.lucidyn.com/Pages/Products.aspx). If you would like to collaborate, let me know.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
SolusCado, althought I appreciate your support, there are no sides because this is not an argument and will not turn in to one. My comment on version 2.0 was a sarcasm, and obviously was not true because I named the next version v0.7.0.

A desktop version is not on the todo list any time soon. =] And for now I will be not integrating with any other texting solutions beyond Android SMS standard protocol.

Let's be sure to play nice, and no name calling or personal attacks. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ls3mach:
I think this program is deleting some of my text as they are coming in. I see it briefly then it doesn't show up on either device.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
The only deletion done is if the same SMS appears from the same person two times in a row within i think it is 5minutes. This is the duplicate message detection, which can be turned off in the app's settings on the phone. You can verify this is the case by looking at the history of the phone, it will mark the item as Duplicate.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ls3mach:
I can't pinpoint it to this application exactly, but it started with my EVO 4G and has carried onto my EVO 3D and I can't seem to duplicate the issue consistently.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] debh945:
I know I asked this way back in this thread but how difficult would it be to be able to add a "lock message" option in the popup menu when you long-press a message? There are some messages I like to save for later and would like the ability to lock them and delete the rest, like in the native messaging app on my phone.

Thanks again for developing such a useful app. Well worth the $ and the new update works great!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huntman21014:

new update pushed to android market

v0.7.1

- Turned encryption off by default due to issues for some people

- Fixed a bug where messages on tablet are showing incorrect timestamps
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jtseidner:
I'm having time issues again on my galaxy tab 10.1. Recieved messages are 7 hrs ahead. I had the issue before and you had told me to make sure the automatic time from network was checked but the galaxy tab doesn't have that option. Then I had discovered my time some was not set and that fixed the issue. The only way I was able to fix it this time is to change my time zone incorrectly and then it works.

I'm also getting notifications for new SMS's but when I click on them the SMS is not there.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jtseidner:
Haha nevermind I see your update. Ill try it out

Update: It fixed both my issues thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] snakeybidder:
Wow

Ok just purchased and i like it.

Couple of things through, wouldnt this drain battery of tablet while not in use or does it switch off when in sleep?

Also will there be a way to use google push in the future? Or cani now and im missing something. Id love it to be instant as i feel checking evber 5 minutes would kill battery no?

Thanks for great support Dev
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
Look at the first page in this post for instructions to enable push.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tt-shark:
Another Design

I would like to see a honeycomb design for this or a design like the one I have attached :)

Anyway it is a great app!

Thanks very much!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] snakeybidder:
Great thanks ive done that. So let me get this straight, if i compose a message on the tablet and send it, will it go straight away with push or will it be when it next polls eg . 1 hour?

Also is there an option to let you know how long the message is on tablet or a linit? If not that would be great too!

Thanks again

EDIT: Worked it out tested it to myself. Excellent app and look forward to your future apps
[Xoom Themes and Apps] snakeybidder:
1 more thing and i probably know the answer to this but is it possible to auto mark as read on the phone when dealt with on tablet? Long shot request?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] trees812:
Just bought and it works great, but just wanted to point out if these changes can be made.

Like someone else said, the messages are coming into my tablet with as xxx-xxx-xxxx, but I have all my numbers stored on phone as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx. Is it possible to have a toggle or something so the app stops dropping the 1 in the beginning so I can keep both outgoing and incoming within the same message thread?

For now, I just long press the thread and edit the number to drop the 1. But when I text from my phone, and the sent message gets sync'ed to the tablet, it creates a separate thread again, as this one has the 1 in the front. It would be great to have the app do it in one uniform format.

Also, I know the push notifications is still in beta, but I can't get past step 5. Right after I select my Google account, it FCs.

Thanks for all your work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i like the design. where did you get the pic?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
linit? Also there is a character counter on the Main screen for message replies, but not on the Compose new message screen

EDIT:

mark as read is on the todo list
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i am looking into the contact-lookup bug. please send report for the FC and leave a description such as "error selecting google account for push notifications"
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slugbug2010:
I wanted to let you know I am 99.9% positive that is not a syncSMS issue. I have had that happen randomly BEFORE I got syncSMS and definitely when I have syncSMS toggled off. I, too am unable to recreate it. I also have an Evo. I was texting with a friend who has an Evo, he does NOT have syncSMS and we both watched as texts we made to each other literally disappeared. I saw his text when it came in (with myhandcent app open to our text string), began a response, and his text was gone. He uses stack sms app and he saw a text of mine come in and then it was gone.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
thanks for confirming. good to hear
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ls3mach:
I turned the app off. The problem continued. Ii happened on my 4G and 3D. Not going to be convinced until I hard-reset both and see if it continues. I doubt it is this program though.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slugbug2010:
Man, I wiped and reset my evo 4g TWICE and it still happens. It is very strange. I've sat next to people that have texted me and they show me the text on their and it is not on my phone. BTW - the same thing is happening with phone calls. Someone will call and I will have NO record of the call. But they did call, they have shown me where it is in their call log.

I've been trying to track this bug down for about 2 weeks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Backwardsblade:
Apologies if addressed earlier, what does it mean when the widget is displaying an orange/yellow "ON" status rather than a green one? I'm seeing some odd behavior (some notifications when there is actually no new sms). I'm running a MIUI rom on a Dinc with a TF101, has this combo been an issue with anyone else?

Much love -SG

It is the messaging app 'mysms' from the ipad.

May you can transform your theme like that?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] stinky73:
Hi again, I see yesterday jtseider posted regarding "false notifications", I am now getting the same...

Was happy to see in 0.7.1 you had addressed the 160 character limit problem as I and a few others asked for...many thanks....however, bizarrely the 160 limit has re-appeared this evening whilst running 0.7.1 on both devices, neither of which have been switched off or taken "off sync" for two days...weird huh??? (galaxy io tab and desire hd)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
It means background data is enabled but sync is off due to Do-Not-Sync interval.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Hell-Intimidator:
Hello, I'm new to this forum and your new SyncSMS app. I really like it a lot and would love to see this app successful. I'd like to help you out with a feedback that I had an issue recently, but no worry because i had it all figured out. I'm not sure if you already heard this issue before, but here you go. When I first bought this app, it wasn't really working 100%. My Xoom successed to sent a message to my fiancee' phone, however it doesn't received any message from her phone. I had been playing around and figuring out why either my Droid X won't put the message in DropBox or my Xoom won't pick it up. So, I decided to freeze my Go SMS Pro app and try to play with the message again. It work wonderful.

I'm thinking that does that had something to do with Go SMS Pro app block the message from going in the DropBox? Let me know. Thanks
