As in delete all threads at once? I've already added a delete conversation feature (long press on main view with conversations). I didn't think anyone would want to delete all conversations.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kpjimmy:
Reporting back here...updated on my N7 where it usually soft reboots when updating the app, was fine. I am no longer on CM10 nightlies, but on the new 4.2, which is basically stock, with exception of being rooted. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
1.0.28

Fixed update handler which was firing off on any app updates.

Added View Contact to Conversation context menu, which will open the contact of the person selected.

Added Resend Message to the Messages context menu.

Hopefully the code I've put in place is stopping that pesky soft reboot for everyone now. Tonight: more MMS work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] justin860:
I change my woman like I change my underwear so I usually end up deleting three or four conversations at once sometimes all of them sometimes I didn't need to delete all of them before someone comes over for a special visit LOL but it's cool

"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. "
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
First, LOL @ Justin.

Second, New Update!

1.0.29

Fixed a few bugs that were reported.

Fixed a lot more unreported bugs caught by crash reports.

Improved MMS Photo receiving and transmission.

Improved photo and MMS Image loading with a quick fade in.

Added photo viewer when an MMS photo is clicked.

Added new Setting - Send Message on Enter. This was added to take advantage of the new multi-line message text boxes. For users who still want enter to send, just enable this option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Right now it's looking like MMS from tablet will probably be released tomorrow night.

Has MMS been reliable in the last release for everyone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
Does anyone get some screen flicker when the input field expands to a new line? It looks like a refresh action on windows desktop
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] join.stick:
Very easy to use. Bought it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
That sounds like it's probably a ROM issue. Try turning on force 2d rendering in your system settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks for your support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king200:
Is there any information regarding the amount of data use there is for Cloud SMS?

Any thoughts about battery usage?

Needless to say, I'm using almost exclusively for messaging.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Here's my data for a month. Also, battery should be non existent.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uppenberg:
Been using the app for some time now and it works very well but it's more reliable when the notification icon is there so is it possible to add a transparent notification icon?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
I'm using stock 4.2 on nexus 7
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] helloterence:
Is it possible to sync the messages already on the phone to the tablet or am I missing something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll look at adding that, as I normally leave the icon on. Shouldn't be a problem to add that, although it will probably be added add a setting.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
This is not supported with Cloud SMS, but I've had a lot of requests for it, so I'll see what I can do after I'm finished with MMS.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
New Release Notes!

1.0.30

Increased DPI for graphic assets to improve quality on 7 + 10 inch tablets.

Fixed bug where single quote would prevent messages from being written to database.

Fixed bug where Quick Reply was sending replies, but not recording them to the message thread.

Fixed many crash report bugs.

Fixed database issue for some new users which was causing app crashes in isolated situations.

Improved MMS Photo receiving from phone.

Improved UI Contact Photo loading reliability and speed.

In the next release I'll have an option for transparent notification icon for users who turn off notifications but are having problems with the app being killed by the system. I've not had many reports of the app being killed (maybe two?) but I'd rather be pro-active about it.

Cheers and thanks for the support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NlBO:
Good to see the updates continue to roll in!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
All messages appear as unread after update to 1.0.30. Read all button does not clear them nor does opening the message thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ryano89:
+1 for this...same problem nexus 7
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Very odd, I'll take a look tonight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Wait,

I added a total messages in a thread counter.... perhaps I didn't make it clear enough.

(123) means total 123 messages in the conversation. If any are unread, it should be bolded with the (2 Unread) instead. It will actually say unread if they are unread.

I'll clean that up a bit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] r2089:
Work . Thanks !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] N1_Fan:
Gotcha. All good then. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Well, not perfect, but good.

I'll make some adjustments, perhaps move the total thread size to be on the right side? Leave unread where it is, but always show the total thread count in small size above time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] helloterence:
Would be great! Thanks for all the support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Update Notes!

1.0.31

Changed the total conversation messages count to a dedicated spot under the date, to better show what the number represents.

Added Date to the message time to better show when messages arrived.

Fixed more MMS Photo reception code, please let me know if you are still experiencing issues receiving MMS Photos.

Further data optimization to ensure Cloud ID updates are only requested when needed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
Good job. Just bought this for my Nexus 10. 5 stars.

I like the AOSP look of the app, but a more tablet optimized experience would be nice (Google talk).

Haven't tested MMS yet.

Edit: Friend sent me a MMS (pic) and it did not show on my tab, only my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
New Update - 1.0.32

1.0.32

Added new MMS download service to better handle reception of MMS Photos.

Added Message Pop-Up option which when enabled will show the on top new message quick reply pop-up when a message arrives.

Fixed a few small reported bugs.

Fixed refreshing of conversation/messages list when syncing sent from phone messages.

Let me know if MMS isn't coming through on this release!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I still have landscape on my to do list, and MMS should work better in the new 1.0.32 release.

Thanks for your support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jim1h:
Sent some texts today after latest update and although the app on my nexus confirmed sent and my phone SMS app (stock) seems to have them! The recipients didn't receive them.. Never happened before so will keep a check on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] VanillaG0rilla:
When i read a message on my tablet, it doesnt get marked as read on my phone. The phone still blinks showing a new message.

Im running miui on my phone. Im guessing thats the culprit. Is there anything you can look at for that?

Im running the latest version on both devices.

Thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
All I can do is set the messages as read in your messaging app, as there is no way to remove another app's notification. You should be able to open messaging and see the conversation marked read.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
New Update - 1.0.33

1.0.33

Updated scaling to provide a better experience for Nexus 10 and other 10 inch tablets.

Updated Dark theme with colouring and scaling.

Fixed Cloud ID assignment issue which could prevent devices from properly registering.

Minor bug fixes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jim1h:
This latest update has totally screwed things up, and nothing working now.. Totally unreliable, can't use it any longer sorry.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Jim,

Could you please elaborate? I've not had any reports from anyone suggesting anything you are describing. I'd love to get everything working for you, I just need more information.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Jim,

If your SMS app on your phone has the messages you sent, Cloud SMS is not the problem. When Cloud SMS sends an outgoing message, it does so at a priority level which does not interfere with stock messaging, or other messaging apps. When you send a message on Cloud SMS, it is written to your SMS database once it has been sent, which is entirely external to Cloud SMS. All I do is request a message be sent, and allow your phone's SMS software to record and transmit that request.

I have no other reports of this issue, so perhaps you can try rebooting and see if that helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] VanillaG0rilla:
Just letting ya know, mine started rebooting on updates on version 1.0.30 or 1.0.31. It never did before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
Sadly i still have 2 issues which may force me to try a different app :/.

1. Still cannot receive MMS. Have not tested sending.

2. SMS remains unread on my phone as well. Using stock MMS app on my GS3 running AOKP 4.1.2 ROM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks for letting me know. Still waiting on Google's response to this issue, as it seems to only happen when you update multiple apps at the same time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Hi Phil,

I saw your review, please try to keep in mind that I can't respond to reviews.

Some carriers handle MMS differently, so perhaps you'd be willing to help me find out why it is working for most users but not for you. A logcat from your phone just after you receive an MMS would really help.

Regarding the unread on the phone issue, if you open your messaging app you should are that the messages have been marked as read. Unfortunately there is no way for me to dismiss your phone MMS app's notification, which is probably what you are seeing. I don't believe any other app can get around this limitation, but let me know if I'm wrong about this.

I'd love to work with you to resolve the MMS issue, as that would just improve this app for others as well, and of course I'd like to get rid of that pesky second three star review. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
If anyone here is using Cloud SMS on a nexus 10, I'm looking for feedback on yesterday's scaling changes to see if the ui looks better on that device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NlBO:
Mines been running smooth past week with next to no issues. Only occasional issue I get is sometimes not receiving a few msgs throughout the day on wifi. Using nexus 7 on 4.2 and Evo 3d on ics.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Is there anything notable about the messages that didn't get transferred? Were they long messages, MMS, did your phone recently switch between data network and wifi?

Thanks for any details you can provide!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jim1h:
Bechard,

I am reinstalling the app on my tablet and phone today, let's see how it goes.

Just to let you know if I send an sms directly from my phone they always send 100% of the time, when I send from cloud sms on my nexus the sms appears on my phone to have been sent, but the recipient does not receive. I love the app but it is annoying that the latest update seems to have started this strange behaviour.

For your information, my phone is running gingerbread would this make any difference?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
UI looks very good on my Nexus 10. Unread SMS on my phone could be due to AOKP popup notifications turned on, I will try disabling that and also grab a log cat for you. What's the best way for mW to get the log to you?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Phil,

If you wouldn't mind, email is best, bechard at gmail dot com.

I'm happy to hear my changes for Nexus 10 are looking good!

Can you check on your next SMS that after reading it in the tablet, when you open Messaging, the message is marked read? I'm on CM10 and stock and this works for me every time. I wish there was a way for me to dismiss the messaging notification on your phone, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Could you also try having someone send just a jpg to you and see if that comes through?

Thanks Phil.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
Logcat sent.

Sent 2 MMS from my wife's phone (GS3 AOKP), neither came through. 1 was a larger pic from the camera and the other was a 6kb JPEG.

Disabled message pop ups in the MMS app on my phone, but messages still show as unread and notification lights continue to flash after reading them on my N10 :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
For unread, you opened the messaging app on your phone after reading them on your tablet and they were still unread? While I am never going to be able to close the messaging app's notification, I could raise and cancel my own flash request to stop lights from blinking. The problem with that is such action is improper development and I'd rather not disrupt other apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Phil,

Can you also confirm you have the sync read messages seeing enabled on your tablet in cloud sms settings?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Update!

1.0.35

Fixed MMS download directory creation for some tablet users. This update should resolve any outstanding MMS receiving issues for users. (Thanks Phil!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
The messages appear as unread on the phone. My assumption is because there are unread messages, the notification light will blink by design. That said, once read messages are fixed on my phone, notifications will cease.

I'm confident it will be resolved soon. :) (I'm not against trying the MMS.apk from CM10 if I have to)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
MMS fixed! Good job.

I noticed however that when receiving mms on my tablet the popup notification does not include the MMS (only the text). Would it make sense to show a preview of the image? Either way glad it got worked out!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hotrock11:
This says 4.1....would 4.2 work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
4.2 indeed works. Thanks for the heads up, topic title updated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll add the image in the popup for the next release. Thanks again for helping with the debug process.

I'll be looking at S3 unread messages tonight too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
Cool, let me know if you need anything. I might try out the MMS.apk from cm10 until then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Update!

1.0.36

Added screen wake up and display if "Message Pop-up" is enabled in Settings. This feature will wake and turn on your screen when a message arrives if the screen is off.

Fixed marking messages on phone as read when using Quick Reply Pop-up.

Fixed MMS Image display in Quick Reply Pop-up.

Fixed message text positioning in Quick Reply Pop-up.

Fixed a few other bugs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sakisbm:
Very good idea this app! maybe you port it on windows... :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] philbrewer:
SMS still shows unread on my S3. I'll grab some logcats later today.

This app keeps getting better and better.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks Phil,

I'll look out for them. Looks to be an issue with some S3 phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ryano89:
Same on my s3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Upcoming feature:

User defined full message body encryption!

I've just laid the ground work and put the main phone to tablet channel in place for this feature, which means it is about 75% complete.

On my test build I can specify a matching Encryption key on both devices, and all text is 128 bit AES encrypted, regardless of using the prior HTTPS setting. If you put a key on your phone and not your tablet, the incoming message WILL show encrypted hex with a message reminding you to enter the matching key.

I just need to implement this throughout, and then I'll be removing the old HTTPS setting, as there would be no point to it's inferior security to this new scheme.

Any thoughts or comments?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
If you'd be willing, I could really use a logcat from your phone and tablet right when you've sent a message from your tablet. This will help me find where the issue is occuring, as the one person I have access to with an S3 does not have this issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fldc:
Please let people disable the notification icon, I hate having apps in the notification area. :) Great app.

Skickat från min Nexus 7 via Tapatalk 2
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Ok, thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do for the next release after I get today's 1.0.2 out.

Just have more testing (time really) to ensure Android keeps my app alive as intended without notification icons.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] airmaxx23:
That sounds good, perhaps even a smaller notification icon would be nice as well. I don't really mind the notification but the icon is very big, maybe a smaller white icon with no background would work nicely. Another nice feature would be the the ability to hidde the message count on the notification icon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king200:
I'm looking for some indication that the messages are really sent with SMS Cloud. Currently, I send an message to myself when I startup. Maybe you could code a message, ""connected" with the time of day"

How to determine that the tablet and phone are working together? I was not aware of the WiFi disconnect issue and I don't keep data active. I lose and reconnect to WiFi frequently.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
King,

I'm in final testing of 1.0.2 which adds per message indicators to your messages that show yellow when sent, and green when acknowledged by the phone and sent out. The means that you will have clear visual feedback that your message has been sent, and was received by the phone. I've added this indicator just below the time in the messages view on message you have sent (right side).

Sound good?

This next update also ensures both devices remain synced to the service when moving between networks. I have not personally experienced this issue, but it was reported.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kuchar09:
I don't know about everyone else but I was just thinking no icon while the app is running but have text notifications pop up and stay till the text is read.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uppenberg:
My carrier have a short number that I text to check my used dataplan. From cloud sms it says invalid phone number, On the phone there is no such thing. Why is it in cloud sms?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Kuchar,

You just described exactly what the new behavior does. Evidently my last description was not clear enough.

With Always Show Notifications UNCHECKED

1) Start App - Cloud SMS notification pops up (Cloud SMS - Active) and dismisses itself after five seconds.

2) On incoming message, notification pops up with message, and remains displayed until you click it.

3) You can also swipe the new message away instead of clicking it.

4) On clicking the new message notification, notification is dismissed again.

I hope that clarifies it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I've never used it, so it didn't occur to me. Can you give me an example? I can add it to the valid number filtering.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uppenberg:
It's 4466. Not a huge problem but I was surprised because there is no filter on the phone so why have it in the app

About the persistent notification icon. Many apps have a transparent option. And if it's possible to have the notification always last would be great:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jameslfc5:
Looking forward to future updates
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Added to the new 1.0.2 build. Posting some time today to play store. Accepts 4-5 digit short codes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
OP Updated with 1.0.2 notes, and should be available as an update in the next hour or so.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brocja01:
Just bought the app, so far pretty impressed. The only thing I've found, is that when trying to start a new message to a contact that has a mobile number and a work number specified, I select the mobile number and type my message and hit send. But my phone sends the message to the work number. Any thoughts? I've tested it a couple times. As long as they text me first, and I reply, i'm good to go. But if I start a new thread, no go.

Nexus 7 and HTC Incredible 2
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
I'll take a look at this tonight. Can you try using the other contact list style in settings and let me know if that one works? That information will help me narrow down the issue. Thanks for the report!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
OP Updated with 1.0.3 notes. (Two small fixes)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] manish1lohia:
wroking great in my phone

wroking great in my phone
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brocja01:
I did try that actually, and switching to "Contact Search/Number Entry" type seemed to fix the issue. Hopefully that will help narrow it down.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Thanks, that does help. I'll try to reproduce it on my end.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ivans88:
I found the way to buy app from the market with market enabler. It works fine. As I said, tablet view + sync of messages sent from phone are things that I miss. Hope to see them soon
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HasC:
Just purchased app and it installed fine on my galaxy note 10.1 but crashes on my note phone upon launch, have not refunded as I'm sure it can be fixed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bechard:
Just go into settings, and uncheck Always show notification. You can then dismiss the notification icon, and it will only come back (and automatically go away) on events.

Hope that helps!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fldc:
But won't that remove my sms notifications also after 5 seconds, that's not very ideal? :) Also, I still can't remove the notification after unchecking this option. EDIT: ok, after the first sms was received the notification disappeared.

Loving the app so here. Here's to hoping that the developer implements syncing messages between phone and the tablet like MightyText does with the desktop!
