Confirmed on Motorola RAZR with ICS.

I also have some suggestions for now ;)

1. Could you please add "Load all messages" in the conversations itself on top of the last loaded messages? Same as you have done in the Conversation list at the bottom.

2. Indicator if message was sent, in process or failure?

When MSN works, i 100% will purchase the Pro version. Amazing job so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Beast84:
Sounds good. Just wanted to make sure before I buy this. I'll stick to handcent for the time being but will keep an eye on this thread
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
just uploaded what will be the final version of the free version on the play store (3.95).

anyways, heres the changelog:

- Option on when to show android smilies

- Grey title bar option

- Complete Emoji support for all phones

you can expect a lot more updates still to come for the Pro version! Still planning on doing per contact notifications so you can assign special colors and sounds to that special someone, i want to do a share via dialog much like the quick popup so its there when you need it and you don't have to go all the way into the app, and I have a couple other surprises up my sleeve that i think will improve overall user experience :) You all will just have to wait and see. Also, i've had lots of people asking when MMS is coming. Please, no ETAs, i'm back in school now and have no problem adding littler things, but that will require a drastic overhaul of the app and i am still working on that overhaul. It is in progress, i promise :)

Every time I look here, I feel about for you when I see all the posts asking for MMS lol. It's quite annoying...

Just purchased the pro version. I'm really looking fwd to watching this app progress into my ultimate text app. Here are a few suggestions (I didn't read every single post on this thread, so if one of my suggestions have already been mentioned.. Sorry).

1) Group SMS

2) Ability to search threads/conversations

3) Ability to select multiple threads/conversations

4) Delete all threads/conversions option

5) Full MMS support (in/out) - I know you're tired of hearing about it

6) Indicator icon stating whether the message has failed/sent/received

7) Ability to use first or last name to add contacts to a new SMS message

Thanks for the awesome app. I will use this app in replace of the stock SMS app once MMS is fully supported. I'll keep it installed and will wait for updates. =)

[Android Apps and Games] Juristium:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intensional.

Those SMS coming from banks and even ISP they are classified under 'no number' and lumping them to a single thread.

Whereby the stock android messaging application is able to identify them to different threads.

Any fix?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I am still keeping the free version, that is ok right?
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
I would assume they require the free version to be updated as well... As far as bug fixes. Not sure though.

Looks greeat
[Android Apps and Games] Dorilife:
I'm pretty sure that's the case.

To the O.P

The app is great, i bought the donate version but stopping updates of free version makes no sense, it kind of forces people to donate if they want the app work to its 100%

A donation should be just that.. Not forced upon users.

This is just my opinion btw.

Thanks for the work put into this and keep it up :D

I downloaded the free app today and got it in swedish. How can I change it to english, I can't find the language setting in swedish. It should be "språk" but I can't find it. Any help please? The app is called "Beskeder" instead of "Messaging". :(

nvm, found it, second last option. (Tilsidesaet systemets sprog)
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Is this bug solved in the last version?
[Android Apps and Games] Peacen1k:
Couple of problems:

1. The last incoming text in the thread doesn't show up until the thread is left and re-entered, or the app is restarted. Sometimes this needs to happen several times to get the message to finally appear in the thread (the message is usually visible in the 'conversations' list as soon as it is received).

2. Notifications don't work (strange, they also don't work for the stock texting app, but work fine for Go sms...).
[Android Apps and Games] atuladhikari:
WTF. Unistalling this app.

However brilliant the app might be, but actually forcing people to buy ur app is kinda unethical.

Sorry would love to donate but not this way.

This a support thread, not a debate thread. Come on guys. :sly:
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
Hi,

Just wanted to say I'm impressed with the overall improvements to the app over such a short period of time! It's become a lot more stable (do still get the odd FC) and faster since I downloaded early versions. Also still liking that it's kept free of bloat, well worth the inexpensive 62p in my book.

Thanks for all the hard work and sorting the main issue (for me at least) of the text currently being typed being lost when another message came through.

Only real issues I have now are the odd FC (keep meaning to send a log) and it sometimes creating 2 of most recent message, one with 1970 date. Not sure if this is linked to date format as I've reset it American format today and not happened? Also, I find instead of persons name showing in notification bar, their number is shown a few times.

Just a query about pop up on none JB, when is it meant to work? I find only does it if I'm using phone at the time, not if it's locked at time. When I used GoSMS, it came up either way. Just curious if it's bug or intended to only pop up whilst in use.

Thanks again for the hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
To keep the thread you have to keep at least an updated free version of the app.

Well to support the developer and because it is a innovative app i bought the Pro! But..

There is still a huge and important bug as reported before.

Clicking on a contact in the address book to send in SMS does not open the appropriated window in SM and also not, in case a conversation does not exists, a new conversation window.

I love this app, but with this bug its quiet useless, sorry.

Please fix this and i will be back.

P.S. Please also rename the Pro version into Messaging Pro. I have both installed and as they have the same name, can get irritating ;)

already added for the next version :) will upload after the weekend probably, I am going to be gone so I cant finish everything that i want to.

Also, I will still update the free version with bug fixes when I come across them, but main features will be added to pro version. I still want a good experience for people not will to pay $.99 lol

EDIT: changed my mind and just updated both versions with a couple fixes before my weekend break. expect more cool updates beginning next week though! 4.00 main features will be a share via dialog (for text only now, but images will definitely come later once i work out MMS) and per contact notifications.

[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I have a Note, and you can not compare this app with messaging app.

Not only messaging starts up much faster with all 5000 messages, but the overall response time for each operation, i.e. delete conversation | message is faster.

Sliding messaging responds well only when conversation and messages are limited, which is okay for email, i.e. k9mail, but for sms I believe this is not the case

This happens when Limit Mesages is

unchecked

or

all messages are loaded

It is an option in settings, so it should be tested for as well, I presume.

Maybe it has to do with the way you are accessing sms db, there must be a better way since messaging app loads all messages and responds without hanging.

When all messages are loaded in Sliding Messages every operation causes a hang, i.e. click on settings, delete a sms, send sms . . .

I hope you find a solution, as otherwise the app is great, but having all sms's loaded should not cause unecessary troubles
[Android Apps and Games] sixfearstheseven:
How is anybody OK with having to get the paid version of this app in order to have MMS, when every other app has it for free, as they should, because we pay our phone companies to have MMS already and now this dev is asking us to pay again. If we don't pay, we can't use a feature that we are paying for every month.

You can charge us based on many other features this app has - it is an awesome app in every other regard - but MMS should not be one of them.
[Android Apps and Games] Kchitown1977:
Any way to remove vibration when long pressing message to delete the message
[Android Apps and Games] jackattack:
Because it's a great app and worth supporting the developer. If you don't want to pay for it, program your own app.

You can always use the stock messaging app for MMS.
[Android Apps and Games] gaui:
Why not just update both versions equally with same features and have free version display ads for those who don't want to spend this huge amount of money? - LOL

But I don't really care. I bought the pro version because this app is fantastic and I wanted to show my gratitude to the developer.

I'm also a software developer and the time that goes into making an app like this is tremendous. Designing, analyzing, programming, testing, etc.

I can tell you that the developer is not getting fair pay for all his work. So stop this whining and just pay $.99 for this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ahmato27:
I love the app however keeps crashing on Miui rom. I want to buy the pro version if it's fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Yup have to admit that it is a bit of a joke imo (*dons flame proof suit*) charging for MMS feature (it is a basic feature that should be in the free version). Pretty much every free SMS app has a ton of features yet don't cost i.e. go sms, handcent.

I honestly can't see your app doing well if you decide to continue with your current plan

No reason why you can't provide some more features for the free version especially the MMS feature and for the pro version add more themes to choose from, quick reply box option and maybe make the free version have ads after a certain time period, say 1 week.

I don't use the MMS feature myself so don't really mind but can see why some people would be pissed about it.
[Android Apps and Games] jackattack:
If you followed this app from the beginning, you'd find it more reasonable. It sounds like the addition of MMS cost the developer quite a bit of time to learn and code. It's ultimately his decision on how he decides to model his business. The fact that people are so upset about paying less than a dollar for this app only shows that it's worth charging for.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Thanks for backing me up while I've been gone for a while guys :) the fact of the matter is, I have spent almost 400 hours creating this app over the past month. I would love to be able to make everything free, but I cant put that kind of time into things and not be rewarded a little bit, especially being a poor college student with classes to go to lol sorry if you guys aren't willing to give up less than a dollar, but in reality I am ok with that and glad that I decided charging. I am still working on both versions, but it doesn't really make me even want to update the free version with negative comments like some that have been coming though, its really a little offensive. If you don't like it then I'm ok with that, but much of that complaining is just harming you in the long run ;) I really was planning on eventually putting MMS into the free version after it was actually working, but I will definitely not be doing that anymore. Free version will be getting one more update next week with some stability, and then after that I'll have to decide if its worth the time to even update it with all this negativity. Don't expect much though! Like I said, thank you to all of the supporters who aren't flaming me! One man development is much more difficult and time consuming then all of those bigger studios that make apps... I've had to teach myself all of this stuff as I go, so its great to see a little payback every once in a while.

Next week I've got a lot of ideas to increase stability and squash little bugs that people have been telling me about... It will hopefully be a much faster app after that! :) I will then continue with adding per contact notifications and probably not update the free version again a after seeing these comments. If I decide to go that way then this thread should be closed as the free app with no longer be under development :) sorry to all of you who have been happy with the free version, there are always those who wreck things for others! Expect lots of paid updates still though, I enjoy supporting those who support me!
[Android Apps and Games] Ahmato27:
I sent you a PM regarding an issue I'm facing. I love your work. Keep it up and ignore those hating cheapskates.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Well said and absolutely understandable.

Please fix an important bug first before you add more great features.

- When clicking on a contacts in the address book to send an SMS. -> opening the corresponding window in SM or a new one if no conversation is present.

Thanks and go on with your work its well appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] o0BlacknesS0o:
I will be glad to pay a simple dollar once mms is added... I completely understand how much work has already been put into this and it's a shame that people started complaining before the dev said anything about mms being added to pay or free version... Basically complaining their way out of free mms.. Do what you need to do dev and once mms is added I'll gladly spare the price of a mcdouble... Lol

I'd like to say that you've been doing an amazing amount of work on this app of yours. I understand your need to charge people for your app, it definitely needs some reward considering the cool features it has implemented. Really, amazing job. I love using it. I would pay to get the full version but sadly I am only 15 and I can only write about how nice your app is. Don't listen to people that don't understand about making money off your talent. You deserve to make a profit. But again, I love your app. Great job dev and I hope you reconsider updating the free version.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
It doesn't work like that. The app never goes out of memory. The slow down is when you reopen the app and have a new text message, it reloads the messages. I do plan on changing how messages are loaded to speed things up on initial start up, but there will never be a keep in memory option as that isn't what's slowing things down.
[Android Apps and Games] kaineshutler:

Love the app but at this point it is unusable

The app constantly force closes and no matter what contact I open or when I get a message it opens to the 'top' conversation. I am keeping it installed and working around it in hopes that your next update will solve these issues.

Thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
last update for the free version just pushed to the play store, i think you will all very much find it to your liking. Tried to squash as many bugs as i could in the time i had and was fairly successful. Also, a huge speed/smoothness improvement. there should no longer be a need to "limit conversations" in settings. Enjoy.

Would a mod please close this thread for me? I am done updating the free version of the app. Thanks for all the support guys and expect tons of updates in the pro version.

I've just looked at the free version, but before buying I'd like to ask for a few features, if they are or will be present in the paid version :)

- could there be an option for contact specific notifications? (like one notification sound per contact, as it is present in the open source app sms enhancer)

As I've seen when on the "homepage" showing all notifications, there is always a part of the most recent conversation, is there a way to just have the full list ?

That would be a perfect app for me :)

Really glad to see such a great app being realised!
[Android Apps and Games] ptmax13:
The "Strip Unicode" feature does not work (New update and previous version as well). Turning it on of off doesn't seem to change anything.

Todays update has solved some force-close cases for me, especially when "load additional conversations".

I also found 3 bugs:

a) Sliding through conversations, I get wrong contact details for some and correct details for others. (By "contact details" I mean the Name of the contact that appears at the top and the picture of the contact inside the conversation). Conversations with one contact appear under another contacts details.

b) Sometimes (this has beem difficult to reproduce) when I'm scrolling way up and then down through the messages of a single conversation, then the messages' sender/receiver appear inverted. For example, a message by me appears besides the other contacts name and vise versa.

c) The conversations list is messed up. Wrong contacts under some conversations. You press at a conversation and it takes you at a random one.

I hate to be rude here but this is my opinion:

Overall the quality of this app is of an alpha stage. I think you had better waited for the free version to stabilize before going for a pro. I purchased the app to support you but I now think that it wasn't worth it. Quick and easy money doen't always mean overall success on the long run. "Pro" versions should be at least stable.

Anyway, that's my humble opinion.

Work harder, you have a good fundation and ideas.
