[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
The Oleophobic coating on my GN is gone and it attracts fingerprints stupidly fast and even worse its very hard to clean

I found this product which got good reviews but i can't justify the price and i don't think it will last 6 months as they say

http://www.amazon.com/API-Fingerpri...&ie=UTF8&qid=1351005077&sr=1-1&keywords=fusso

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HOW+TO+COAT+Anti+Fingerprint+Oleophobic+Coating+by+yourself/9682/1

Any one know a good alternative to reduce the amount of fingerprits or at least make them easier to remove ?

Edit: i don't use screen protectors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
I would definitely recommend using a screen protector just because of all the benefits. XOSkins is what I use and it's absolutely worth every penny.

You wouldn't especially since it repels fingerprints as well as protects the screen, blah blah. There's a thread here that promotes XOSkins with a 20% discount code if you ever wanted to try it.

I hope someone can answer your question on the liquid. Judging by the reviews it seems like a very good short-term purchase. 3-6 months is not a suitable amount of a time frame for a $25 bottle (to me at least).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandiculator:
I'm interested to know people's input who have used this or something similar. I personally don't use screen protectors, so this would be ideal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattywak:
I did not know there was an oleophobic coating on the bare screen. Is cases of this disappearing over time something common?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
With oleophobic coating when there is smudges on the screen and you put your phone and take it out it is as good as new and very very convenient in everyday usage

Without the coating when you take the phone out of your pocket it is even worse and very annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
I am sure that the product works but what i doubt is how long it will last, If i wasn't going to buy the nexus 4 next month i would have tried it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szimmerm:
I'd rather spend $25 and get scratch protection than just fingerprint protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
Can this stuff be applied to screen protectors or is it used specifically for bare screens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
No, they only adhere to glass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DamienChaos:
If you've got some synthetic car polish lying around, you might want to give that a try. Years ago I started using Zaino car polish (Z-2) on my glasses, sunglasses, interior/exterior auto glass, exterior of home windows, etc. because of its resistance to smudging, fogging, and the fact that it makes the surfaces easy to wipe clean. As I don't use screen protectors, I now put it on my phones as well. The longevity definitely isn't 4-6months on my phone screen, but then again it isn't $25 for a tiny bottle. Might not be the best solution for everyone but, since I polish cars pretty regularly, it's no problem to hit the phone when I finish. Just a thought...

Oh and by "synthetic" polish I mean a product with a petroleum distillate base (e.g. Zaino, Duragloss...anything that has a label reading "Caution: Contains Petroleum Distillates"); not typical carnauba- or silicone- based car "waxes" like Meguiar's or Turtle Wax. Not to say they won't work, but I doubt they'd function as well given their properties when used for their intended purpose.

--DC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
I tried carnauba wax on my nexus s before it did nothing and i know it was eating through the glass every time i apply it, didn't try the synthetic polish so is it abrasive ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
This video shows the benefits of the coating

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iksEsOdTrkk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DamienChaos:
I can confirm that neither Zaino Z2/Z5 nor Duragloss #111 have abrasives of any sort. Z5 and #111 do have some non-abrasive "filler" which isn't necessary on a glass surface, so that's why Z2, as a pure polish, is my preference. In general, most synthetic polishes are non-abrasive, but sometimes the companies behind them do sell variant products that have a little cut to them (i.e. Duragloss #101, Zaino Z-PC). In short, if a synthetic polish has abrasives in it, the label should tell you.

Oh, and did I mention that synthetic polishes also make dark colored cars look pretty damn good? I never thought about it, but perhaps that is due to the same underlying principle of "oleophobic" properties which reduce the number and visibility of waterspots?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -fernando-:
I use furniture wax, I put very little and will spread until the entire film, taking care not to enter the speaker.

As I'm using it is the impression of being as a protective layer, with bonus of making the best finger slide on the screen. the only downside is that it lasts up to 3 days, having to repeat the process again.

wow this is really cool, is proof to the pen.

Each application lasts as long?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
they say that each application lasts 6 month which is very good but the bottle is very small and might be enough for one application only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
i always thought that a polish is abrasive and a wax is a sealant so i avoided any polishes

this is what i was using before

Working great, thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RobBull69:
Purchased and 5 starred. Thanks for your hard work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king200:
Is this great, new app specific to the Nexus 7? I works fine on my N7 with an AOSP custom rom. Might it work on Galaxy Tab 2?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Will work with any 2.2+ tablet and phone. Just noticed the OP said Nexus 7 and changed it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
Seems like when my phone disconnects from Wi-Fi, I have to restart app in order to get messages on my tablet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll give that a look. I may need to detect wifi state changes and request an updated google id. Thanks for the report.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
To follow up, if both devices disconnect and reconnect they sync beck up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'm preparing 1.0.2 to address this reported issue. I had to add two permissions, one to get wifi state, and the other for mobile network state.

Now when a network change is detected, the update service will kick off to re-register your device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Williams.Joe:
Works well on my Nexus 7, Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Before I go to bed, two new additions for tomorrow:

Sent message status indicator - Yellow = Sent to phone, Green = Received and processed by phone

Automatically update cloud ids on network change

Time for sleep.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Smiechol:
Works nice! :laugh:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maceone:
Could you eliminate the blue background for the navbar icon, so it's just the white cloud? It doesn't jive with my theme lol. Other wise, great app, great development!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onclebob:
Hi,

Does it manage mms too? If not will it?

Thank you

Nevermind, was in description..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Would it make sense to use a different icon set for each theme? Which Cloud SMS theme are you using with your device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'm currently just working out a way to support MMS and keep with my security design parameters. For MMS to work, I would have to upload the MMS content to my server, and download it on the Tablet side. Likely I'll just assign some random 64 bit name to any uploaded files, and once the tablet has received the file, delete it from the server. 64 Bits of random naming should be enough entropy over the alphabet and numbers to make any attempts to grab a file en route pretty impossible.

This feature will come once I'm sure it follows my design guidelines (and lots of testing)!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] airmaxx23:
Loving this app but the only issue Ive had is that disabling the notification while running does not seem to be working.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
The persistent notification feature is working as I intended, but it doesn't seem to be what people wanted. This feature when disabled allows you to dismiss notifications, but they do show up on all events.

I'm testing a change (and rename) for that feature called Always Show Notifications. This will do as you expect, allowing notifications to briefly show on new message, and automatically dismiss themselves (5 second delay) if you leave the setting unchecked. Should this delay be longer?

I'll be testing this through the day before I make an update available to ensure Android doesn't try to close the app down without notifications running.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maceone:
Icon set would be great. I'm using the dark theme. My navbar is black, and the blue icon stands way out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kuchar09:
For some reason I've been having issues with both 1.0.8 and 1.0.9 receiving messages. I can send messages from the nexus 7 no problem but can't receive anything. I'm using the stock messaging app on my gnex.

I uninstalled and reinstalled on both devices and notices the nexus 7 restart while uninstalling but it didn't restart when in reinstalled it, so I tried uninstalling it again and only that status bar n navigation bar disappeared for a few seconds.

Now it seems like I can send texts from the nexus 7 no problem but only receive my first text and no other ones. The thread also updates with all the texts I send from my phone no problem. So it just seems to be the incoming texts.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] airmaxx23:
Same here, I haven't been getting messages lately on my N7.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j.a:
1.0.9 working good here. Messages from/to Nexus 7 all working fine.

I did notice that my conversation list still splits up into multiple conversations. Also if I try to delete one of the multiple conversations, all of the msgs in that conversation are deleted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Tonight's update will be to once and for all knock out the thread separation issues.

I have more testing to do, but I believe I have the numbers completely sanitized now and merging properly.

I've also added an experimental quick reply pop-up option, but it is not quite ready yet. I MAY include it with a disclaimer of "EXPERIMENTAL" as it needs some tweaking still.

More importantly - Update on Communications Issues

Google has imposed some rate limitations on their communications service. This is imposing some serious issues for me, and I'm working out a solution.

Essentially even though Google recommends it's service for messaging and other light payload uses, they have imposed an undocumented limit of 20 messages per hour per device. When this queue is exhausted (you've sent 20 messages) the queue refreshes at one message every three minutes.

Exasperating this issue is the new sent indicator, which uses an additional request to get its status.

I've temporarily removed the sent indicator while I work out a better solution. With tonight's update, only people who are sending / receiving 20 messages or more an hour will encounter delays. Everyone else should expect extremely fast service.

I apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have a solution very soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
Since the last update, some of my messages sent from tablet are duplicated. It looks like the app on the phone gets confused and send back notification to the tablet for outgoing message.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll look into that. I'm not seeing it myself at the moment, but I'll dig in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I may now have a solution in place for adding a ten fold increase to Google's rate limiting. If anyone wants to try sending around forty messages in a few minutes time, please let me know how it goes.

Message limits should hopefully be around 200 sent, 200 received, and 200 notices of sent (green indicator) per hour. I wasn't able to get throttled myself.

This change was server side and is live for everyone now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] VanillaG0rilla:
I recently flashed miui and updated cloud sms so I'm not sure what's causing the issue.

When I send from my phone, the messages show on my n7. When I receive a message, it doesn't show on my n7. I'm getting notifications on my n7 for my sent messages.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Miui needs a setting changed in order to work properly. It's the only Rom I've heard of with that requirement. I have the instructions for Miui posted on the play store description. Please let me know if that does it for you. I'll post those instructions here later too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
OP Updated.

1.0.10 Highlights:

Server updates! These were done already, and should have fixed communication throttling for all versions.

New SMS Popup Reply Dialog! Styled similar to the CyanogenMod 10 Quick Message, when enabled will pop up over what ever is open and allow you to quickly reply and send from the dialog, or open the conversation, or dismiss the popup. I wrote this in a few hours time, and it does not yet handle multiple messages being received in the way I would like. If you are in the middle of replying to a quick reply and another message comes in, it will go over the old quick reply. You can close the new dialog to continue with the old. In the future this will not happen as I implement the message handling. I've marked this feature as Experimental in settings. Let me know what you think!

Also added was a Mark All Read button for users who didn't want to open each thread.

Please let me know if the new conversation threading is working better now. You will probably need to delete old threads that were separated, but new messages should now join properly.

Cheers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] VanillaG0rilla:
Changed the setting....Will verify that it works tonight
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
Dual message threads are gone with last night's update. Everything is working great. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] airmaxx23:
App keeps crashing since the newest update whenever I go into settings and then hit "back". Sent messages don't change to the green dot even though they have been sent out and it still takes about 5-10 minutes or so to get the message on my N7, if I get them at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Can you try reinstalling on whichever device is crashing? I'll look for crash logs, as I've not experienced this problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] airmaxx23:
Reinstalling again seemed to fix the crashing but I'm still not getting messages about 50% or more of the time to my tablet. I've had 6 messages sent in the past hour and only received 1 on my N7.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Can you try exiting and restarting on both devices to fully establish a new cloud id sync? Please let me know if that works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
OP Updated - 1.0.11

Just a minor fix for people in the UK with googlemail.com email addresses.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll looking at the crash report from your device and I can see an issue. I'll keep you posted once I figure out what is causing it.

Thanks for your patience, and this would explain messages not coming through for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SpideRMaN-17:
Hi,

Is this app compatible with Cerberus anti theft app pls?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] digver:
The duplicate threads seem to have been solved for me - thanks!

I've wondered if Google might start restrictions of the service especially if applications like this become popular. I guess that's the risk of relying on a service you don't control.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I have no idea! Feel free to try it and if it doesn't do what you need you can ask me to look into it or request a refund.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] digver:
I've been having a sync problem the last couple of days. You've been updating CSMS so frequently that a can barely keep both devices on the same version. :silly: But, on a more serious note...

I had the situation where I sent an SMS through the Nexus 7 but it wasn't sent because CSMS wasn't running on the phone side (I think it had been upgraded and didn't check to see if it was running). Is there a way to check that and send a warning to the tablet side?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HasC:
The reply pop up is excellent, the only issue being that it takes up quite a bit of the screen when it pops up. Will it be possible to make the pop up smaller?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
One of my messages today was send to the wrong number. I have replied to one thread and the messages went to another. Don't know why this happend.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] davevanoerle:
Cool

Seems really cool and handy :D

Although I do not have a tablet.. :silly:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kuchar09:
For the past 2 updates I haven't been able to receive and texts on my nexus 7 but have been able to send them.

I have both apps set to not show notifications.

When I changed my phone to always show notifications everything worked as it should! And very fast too.

Hopefully you can fix this now that you know where the issue is.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HasC:
Ok, mine has also stopped receiving messages on the tablet, it allows me to send via the tablet but I have to read the replies on my phone. I have restarted both devices and removed encryption on both, still not working. I have a Samsung galaxy note tablet 10.1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kuchar09:
Try enabling always showing notifications on both devices if you haven't already. That's my temporary fix for now!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] justin860:
I just wanted to chime in here and say thank you for being an awesome developer. You inspire me to be a better developer myself
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HasC:
Thanks, this did get it working again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Wow, I'll take a look at the persistent notification issue tonight. Phone must be killing the background services. You guys saved me a lot of debugging time!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kuchar09:
Glad we could help... idk if u changed something recently because it worked before the last 2 updates, if that helps anymore.

Kinda weird the phone would be killing background services considering you can still send texts from the nexus 7 but who knows.

Keep up the great work!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I agreed it's probably not a dead service issue now. I'll be taking a look shortly and now that I know which conditions to look at, it'll probably stock right out.

Update

I believe the issue is resolved now for the next release. I've also added notification on the tablet when the message has been sent by the phone.

I may not push out a release tonight now that a workaround is available, as I'd like to include the new icons (more transparent, less blue!) in the next release, and they aren't quite ready yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:

You are a star! All working again.

If only all developers were as proactive as you, no one would be able to compete with android.

When are you releasing your next app? I'm waiting to buy it because whatever it is, it's gonna be awesome!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jim1h:
Working like a dream now, thanks so much.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hasbrobot:
Undoubtedly one of the best 99 cents I've ever spent! Thank you. (Hmmm...to early for me to formulate proper grammer I guess) :)

Why is the door on the right always locked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
On latest update, notification number reads "2" for a single message. Sending/receiving works great, just something little.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Interesting, I'll take a look at that tonight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] matada:
I love this app, my phone has a messed up screen (not totally shattered but enough tiny cracks to make the keyboard a PITA to use), and it's a life saver. Too bad I wind up thinking texts are IM's and rapid firing texts to people. Oh well.

Oh, speaking of bugs. For some reason on my Glacier, I'm randomly receiving messages twice. When I boot back into my normal rom I'll run logcat and paste it in :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks, I'd certainly appreciate the logcat!

The reception for this app just continues to blow me away.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] matada:
From when I first got an Android phone I had wanted something exactly like this. I'm prone to leaving my phone all over the house, and not having to go find it if I want to text is an awesome thing. I'd gladly pay a little more for how much I use it (Probably sent over 5K texts with it in the last few months)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] primetimelive:
Getting a few times where the app would not show a text message from a contact on my tablet. It would usually only be one.

I'm also getting duplicate sent messages on the message thread on my tablet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Change log for tonight:

1) Fixed icon sizing / included new unread count icons. Still working on the dark icon theme.

2) Added back arrow to top action bar (beside icon) to be more consistent with modern Android UX.

3) Added support for alternate email address and pass key. You can link devices by any address with this, so long as the pass key matches on both devices using the same alternate email address.

4) Fixed conversation threading issues for people using Contact Search / Number Entry contact lists.

5) A few tweaks to the Message Popup

6) Framework for marking messages read on phone. Still more to do, but this gets me started.

Thanks for the support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] linh.n:
suggestion

I'd like to see the keyboard pop up automatically when I create a new message. I have a lot of contacts and it is far more likely I'll type and search vs picking someone from the list.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll look at adding this, makes sense!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
OP Updated for 1.0.13.

1.0.13

Fixed conversation threading issue for some users

Fixed main icon size

Added white notification icon - Counter icons coming tomorrow.

Added notification on message sent on tablet

Added Setting to Sync read message status to phone

Added Android Back arrow to action bar beside App Icon to match modern UI guidelines.

Added support for alternate email address and pass key. This allows non-gmail users to specify the same email address and pass key on both devices.

Forced keyboard to be hidden when opening conversation view.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jim1h:
Not working again since this latest update, nothing changed on either device, tried several restarts.
