Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Just wanted to add my name to the list of those who would love to see an update that synced the "Read" status of texts.

ie when I read a text on either my tablet OR my phone, it's marked as read (and notifications killed) on the other device. As it stands, this doesn't happen either way (phone to tablet or vice versa)

By the way - LOVE the app. Astonishing and high quality work for such a low price. The rare app that just works. So great.

Edit: one other possible little bug I've noticed - I run the app in dark mode, but whenever I launch the app I see light mode for about half a second before dark mode "loads" up and displays all my texts. Not a huge deal, but if that could be addressed it would alleviate my ocd greatly.

Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

When i have the message pop up setting enabled, the pop up still occurs when the app is open and I'm typing. Could you look into stopping the pop up while the app is open?

I have to close out of the popup each time to keep typing.

Next Release

Hey guys, here is what I have completed for the next release. Just doing some testing prior to releasing...

Fixed contact icons skipping while scrolling main list

Fixed Message thread showing last known contact photo viewed when the conversation has no contact photo.

Fixed opening from DashClock doesn't mark message as read

Fixed Message Popup shows opening over open app

Fixed ^ character being stripped

Fixed Timestamp shows arrived on tablet time, not phone's message timestamp.

Fixed Phone Popup doesn't stop ringing on missed call

Fixed on boot start issue for Android 2.x

Added - Contact opens to last contact when returning from a message thread. This means your list will not start at the top which was annoying with more than a page of messaging threads.

Not Fixed - Ringtone Plays Once on Incoming Call - This issue seems to be dependant on if the ringtone selected has a looping bit. Every system ringtone I tried on my nexus 7 repeated as intended without issue.

Not Fixed - Sync read state both ways - I'm not yet able to determine when a specific message on your phone has been modified (marked read because you viewed it on your phone, or deleted a message). There really isn't much for Android API documentation on this, but I'm still working on it. Also, I'll NEVER be able to remove the stock notification icon on the phone, as I have no control over it. Normal marking messages as read on phone when read on tablet does work fine.

Yay for progress! This release will just be just these fixes / tweaks to resolve reported issues. Thanks to everyone who pointed out any problems! Let me know if any other mission critical items are not on this list.

I am still having big problems with the phone to tablet sync-back. What I now getting are sporadic messages and no feedback that my messages are getting through. It's hit and miss. Mostly miss. Messages remain in "SENDING" status on the tablet. It seemed to work ok for a few days only.

Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

I've noticed the same thing especially when my tablet disconnects from WiFi. I have to reboot my phone to get messages syncing again. Once the phone and tablet start talking again some of the sms messages sent from my phone when tablet was off Wi-Fi get resent as the tablet sync up. I've confused a few people over the last week. :)

Also when I get an MMS it shows up on my tablet with no sender info. the sender is blank and all MMS messages from multiple people are all under this one entry.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] juried:
It might be to do with wifi and data connection. My connections are broken when the devices go to sleep. I was speculating that due to the unsynced connections, the sync status gets confused. Last night after I wrote the above post, I performed a resync from the phone, now all appears correct. Haven't gotten any further smss to check.

AW: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Very similar to mysms for example :P but nice work :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Not at all! My app is straight phone/tablet, which means I never need to transmit or store your messages and contacts. Personally I like the idea of not having my entire contact list on a remote server, and knowing my messages are private and not stored. These are the reasons I originally wrote Cloud SMS, as I couldn't find an app I knew I could trust my most private data (contacts, messages) with certainty.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Next Release

I'm starting to plan for the next release now, and I've been experimenting with undocumented API listeners to detect messaging changes. If all goes well I'll be able to detect when a message has been read, deleted, etc on the phone in order to sync that state to the message on the tablet end.

No promises, but that's what I'm targeting. Any other requests?

Can you confirm that you are using the latest release on both devices? 2.1.9 specifically started using phone issued message timestamps in place of the tablet receive time. Also, ensure both devices are using Wifi set to Always on.

If you mean two phones, and no tablet; yes! Install the app on both phones, and on the phone you are

NOT

receiving SMS on, go into Cloud SMS, and enable Force Tablet Mode in Settings.

If I understand correctly, both of your phones are still active and can normally send and receiving SMS? The new number phone is the one you would set Force Tablet mode on.

Hey guys,

Just started testing the next release, which is again even more tweaks and rare bug fixes. I'm also likely updating the icons to better fit the size and scale of other Android icons.

Is the consensus that the app icon is ok, but the notification icon is the one I should be fixing?

Also, anyone who can NOT receiving MMS at this time, can you tell me if you are running Android 2.x? I believe I've found (and fixed) the issue preventing 2.x phones from uploading MMS images to tablets.

Hey guys,

I'm just preparing a release for either tonight or tomorrow. Going to swap the main notification icon (I get a lot of feedback telling me it's terrible?). I have a pretty big fix for the last remaining users who aren't getting MMS, and many other bug fixes.

Any feedback at this point before the next release?

Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Hey - love the app, and thanks so much for all your continued hard work.

I had one feature request, no idea of its doable or not -- is there any way to make the Dashclock extension function so that it hides itself if there are no unread messages? That would be ideal, and greatly appreciated.

No worries if not just figured I'd put that out in the world.

If you're on 2.1.9 or 2.1.10, that is exactly how the DashClock extension works (unless you have unread messages).

Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

I have a few questions & maybe a request.

What is the point of the persistent notification? I'm guessing it's so that it keeps the program running/working at all times? If so, do you think you'd be able to implement something like tasker has done where we can have a transparent icon on the notification bar?

Also, I'm trying to get tasker to only have the app running when I'm on my home WiFi. For some reason tho, it won't actual kill the app even tho I set it to. Any idea why that may be?

I love your app. I'm glad I stumbled upon it & you explaining it to me on reddit!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

I have a sugestion for char counter in the message. I think that the better solution is the way it's implemented on GoSMS, where you have the number of remaining chars in the current message part. It shouldn't be hard to implement.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Thanks I'll look into that.

Next time you bet to your Wi-Fi from being away, could you own cloud sms on your phone and open settings, and hit back to the main view? Please let me know if it works when you do that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Persistent notification is mostly to ensure devices aren't killing the app. In most cases (android 4.x) you should be able to use my favourite combination of using stock icon without persistent. This makes the app behave like the phone stock sms app when messages come in, but leaves the icon out of your system bar when not needed.

Give it a shot with persistent disabled as it will probably be just fine.

The app likely isn't being killed as the services are still listening for incoming message broadcasts. Tasker is probably only killing the main activity. I'll look into what needs to be changed to better support tasker.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Re: [App][2.2 - 4.2] Cloud SMS - Send SMS From Your Tablet!

Thanks for the request. I'll likely just add an option to show it that way so that I don't cause problems for anyone who likes it as is.

I'm probably not going to be releasing any updates until the end of the month as I'm moving mid month and spend my time packing when not working or spending time with the family. I have added the request to my list, so do expect to see it when I am able to release the next update.

After finally getting more or less settled in after moving to a new house, I've finally got a crunch list of items for the next update.

New app icon - I've had a lot of comments that the main app icon should better adhere to icon design spec.

Full phone based message time display - this will ensure messages are always listed by the date recorded by the phone rather than when received by your tablet. This will resolve a few issues including out of order messages.

Time zone hour offset - this will allow you to adjust the message display time by tune zone offset for people who always get Gmt based message hours from their phone.

MMS photo sending from tablet - this feature is out of beta and allows for images to be attached. To get around Android's lack of MMS API, attached images will be uploaded to the server temporarily, and the message will send as an sms with a short link to the image.

Better detection of Wi-Fi network changes, and automatic device sync when moving between networks.

Various bug fixes, tweaks, etc.

Please pass on any feature requests, as today I've finally got my development environment ready to roll, and I'm clobbering my to do list.

Also, thanks for everyone's patience over the last month. Moving a family with two small kids takes a lot of energy and time, and while I tried to check for support requests at least daily, I wasn't able to always respond quickly.

Cheers, and happy to be back active.

Update

Well, it's been a very productive evening.

I've completed integration of an all new (much better) main app icon, and fixed a number of bugs, and improved a few other things.

Fixed - Time display issues not matching between tablet and phone. Phone message time is now properly saved and displayed.

Fixed - Phone call notification ringtone running off forever. Ringtone can play for a max of ten seconds now, and will stop more reliably.

Fixed - Cloud SMS received MMS images will no longer show up in the gallery.

Improved - Newly added network detection will start a fresh device sync when connection changes between wifi networks, and data networks. This will ensure devices are always synced without issue.

Added - MMS Image sending from tablet is out of beta and available to all. Due to Android's lack of MMS API, when you attach images, they are uploaded to the server (securely) and sent with the message body as an SMS with a short link to the image. This is due to Android not allowing third party apps to send MMS directly.

Fixed - Various small bugs from crash logs.

Busy night, now I'm off to relax. Expect the update to drop mid week, as I usually plan to run the update a few days prior to releasing it to the wild.

Thanks again for the patience over the last month, I assure you I'm back.

2.1.12

Added Image sending from the Tablet! Images are uploaded and sent as a short link using normal SMS due to Android MMS limitations. Give it a try!

Added new network state detection to ensure devices remain sync across mobile/wifi changes

All message timestamps are now based on the Phone's received time

Fixed bug with Phone Call notification running wild, will ring for a max of ten seconds, and ignores any old phone calls when reconnecting to Wifi
