Suggestion (Hope suggestions are accepted ;))

In the app, there is an option to load particular number of messages in the coversation. Observed that if I choose 10msgs, then only 10 are loaded even when scrolling above. What I personally feel is that conversation should be scrollable. Meaning if I choose 10 msgs to load and I scroll to the top most message, then next 10 messages should be loaded and so on..
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
1. Yes, they will see the emoji however their phone chooses to display it. iPhone or Android both work if emojis are supported on that phone.

2. Yes, bug that I need to get to the bottom of, not really sure on it.

3. Added in next version already :) but it will only happen if you have checked the option "open contact list at startup"

4. Still working on this functionality! Expect it eventually though.

Like I said above, added in next version if you have selected the option to "open contact list at startup" :)

I have thought of adding this, but really have no idea how i could possibly go about it... dont expect it anytime soon :(

version 3.77 will be out to all of you guys soon, just a couple bug fixes and settings people have suggested. have a look around and see what you can find! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ansago:
Great app! Definitely appreciate the constant updates, made the purchase well worth it. Just a couple issues I've noticed:

1. The speed has improved a lot recently, but it's still fairly laggy (especially compared to the stock app)

2. When I'm in a conversation and another text comes in it automatically switches to the new message. This is especially annoying because it will do it even if I'm typing, and delete my message.

The only other suggestion I could think of at the moment would be when you have multiple unread messages it displays who they're from in the notification window, instead of just saying 'New messages'.

Other than that it's great, and I'm looking forward to future updates!
[Android Apps and Games] XxKillerKev7xX:
Wow great app idea runs great and smooth some suggestions tho.

1. Full functioning MMS

2. Themes

3. New app icon

Keep up the good work, im a game developer so I know how hard it is to keep up the demand for everyone's needs :p

Great job tho

im still following this app. is there a search function? im on a galaxy s3. also the limit conversations made the app alot faster, but i with i could change it to any number i want. 12 is a little low.

This app is awesome just pure awesome! Just got the paid version keep up all your hard work!!!

AW: [APP][Free] Sliding Messaging

Great just bought the donation version.

My feature requests would be:

Mark messages as read on pop up

Search messages

Add multiple recipients for a message
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Ok thanks very much! :)

I love the SMS app, exactly what I have always wanted, pretty much stock android SMS but with a dark theme and some features. Hope you can find out what it is.

It is weird the way I seem to be the only one who is experiencing the problem though :confused:

Could you upload the V3 and V3.27 apk please? To see if the force closes happens with them as well now.

EDIT:

Also would it be possible to have a holo theme? i.e. the background being completely black, incoming have holo blue text and outgoing have light grey text or vice versa and for the list of messages, the contact name to be white and the text content to be holo blue.
[Android Apps and Games] mandlar:
I see that you have "Delivery Reports" in the settings, but could you show an icon next to each sent message (like HandCent does) instead of toasting it?

klinkdawg, for some reason my translation to portuguese does not display characters like "ç" "ã" and so on. Can you fix that?because it looks bad with all the ? instead of the special character
[Android Apps and Games] dualmoon:
I think this app has a lot of potential. Currently it's missing a few features but thankfully since you're pretty big on constant updates we can count on all the features being added eventually. One thing that really leaves a bad taste in my mouth is forcing us to pay for MMS. I get that you need money, but if you're robbing us of core features unless we "donate" to you then it's not really a donation, it makes the app a trial.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Can OP help me with loading problem? I can see only four of total more than ten conversations (can see only the old one) tried loading them and checking load all by default but nothing. Most important conversations aren't there.. I must write a new message to the contact to finally see the full conversation
[Android Apps and Games] dhunzi10:
Great app, I'm using the donate version as my main messaging app. I don't if this has been said before, but it lacks two key features for me : screen on when receiving a text, and mark as read on the quick answer popup.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
this is planned for a future release, just havent gotten around to it yet :) on my ever growing checklist though.

This is a problem with the translation i believe, and since i do not know any languages except english, i cannot fix it because i dont know what should go where. The problem i believe is in the encoding of the letters in the strings file, they are written as normal characters, but for android to register them correctly they need to in unicode. If you would be willing to do this, then i will send you the file to fix it. I also plan on adding an option to display as only english so that those of you multilingual folks can choose to show the english characters which show up correctly.

I changed the name to Pro instead of donate for this reason. sorry you feel this way, but if you don't like it, then you don't have to buy it. lol. and in my opinion $.99 isn't very much. I gladly buy every app that i can to support a developer. Like i said, sorry you feel this way, but i have put so much effort into this app that for me a couple extra buck is well worth charging $.99 and some customers turning away. MMS has been very difficult to add even to the point where it is at now and I enjoy at least getting the feeling of a little reward.

Not much work was done today, but for tomorrow i have a long list of things that i want to include and fix (none of which include mms) and so hopefully i will get it all done and you will see version 3.80 later tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
Sometimes when I am in conversation list and click on someone's name to enter that SMS, after I send my message, it kicks me out to another conversation. I have to keep going back in the previous conversation each time.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
i have no idea how to do that!i Have noticed that when i am saving files using the notepad on windows, there is the option "encoding" and it can be changed to Unicode.But it probably isnt that simple or is it?
[Android Apps and Games] gaui:
Awesome app, is my default now. But I would like a dismiss button on popup. Now when I dismiss, either I press back key or somewhere outside the popup, it stays in the notification bar, along with previous messages. Please fix this.

Otherwise an awesome app and great work dev! Will buy pro version for sure! :)
[Android Apps and Games] poczynek:
Hey this a top app. The only thing missing which I love about Go SMS is the option to auto popup the keyboard when you bring it up to type a message or reply. So rather than having to tap on the message part to bring up the keyboard it auto pops up. Possible? Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Oh and when I reply using the popup on the lockscreen the message that was sent its not being saved only my reply? ?

First thoughts of app:

When Limit Messages unchecked, app is horribly slow: On start-up and moving around threads , and settings (does pull all messages help, but it is disabled when above is unchecked)

Deleting Thread | Message does not seem to work all the time, maybe due to app hangs.

Suggestion: In settings add the options to Reply | Delete | Call | Mark as Read, as in latest Messaging app ( as is, I believe it depends on Stock app )

Suggestion: Select multiple threads|messages to delete

What is the difference between Not limiting messages and pulling all messages ?

Main problems are not being able to delete and app hanging a lot, not being able to delete might be a result of app hanging

Great work, hope issue of performance gets resolved
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
pretty large update today guys that you will see soon. (3.85) added a ton of user requests and improved resume speed of the app (not the initial load up speed though). heres the short list, and there were a lot of other little things.

- View MMS in gallery and save picture (Pro only)

- LED color option

- Vibrate pattern option

- in app call button

- Enter or smiley button keyboard option

- Mark as read button in quick reply

- Override language option

- Forward message option

- Bug fixes, UI improvements
[Android Apps and Games] chayes627:
Really loving the app. I use it exclusively unless I need to send a picture. Thanks and I would gladly donate a few extra bucks for this just where
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Finally a Holo SMS app for my Note 2. :D

I haven't got the latest update yet, as it's not on Google Play yet, but I have this bug where texts from like T-mobile and Natwest etc show up as blank where it should say who it is from, and they are all in the same thread.

Thanks for making this app though. :D
[Android Apps and Games] spannernick:
Hi there haven't seen you for a long time..;)

This look like a nice app dose it work on any android..?
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Unfortunately I still get the force close with the new version as soon as I open the app :(

Could you upload the v3 apk please?
[Android Apps and Games] VegUnited:
Love the new update but it's still putting texts from the wrong conversation in other threads. Using Nexus 4.

Any clue as to why it's mix matching conversations?
[Android Apps and Games] Peacen1k:
Great update!

Some problem with smileys behavior: the keyboard button works, but the app doesn't convert the ascii smiley into a picture. The stock messaging app and go sms have no problems and show the little smiley pics.

Other than that just waiting for the multiple recipients to get added so that I can use Sliding as a default texting app.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
I fixed the force close issue as soon as the app is opened. Had to delete all my messages :confused:

Probably something to do with the "load all messages" settings.
[Android Apps and Games] metalmoot:
Led control still doesn't work :(

Sent from my Razr I
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Asked this before, but has probably been lost in the last few pages :p

Could you implement a holo theme? i.e. the background being completely black (but have a dark grey divider line between the incoming and outgoing texts), incoming text font colour to be holo blue and outgoing text font colour to be light grey text or vice versa and for the list of messages; the contact name to be white and the text content to be holo blue.
[Android Apps and Games] foxehkins:
Do you have plans to work on the loading speed of the app compared to stock messaging?
[Android Apps and Games] chayes627:
I havent had any problems with load speed on first load nor subsequent loads. Have you checked with the (3.57? i think the one right before the current 3.85) version, in the change log he had about better load times after first load?
[Android Apps and Games] adaimespechip:
Looks promising.. Will keep it installed :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
This.

10 seconds plus loading time for me.

Stock messaging app is instant.

This is the only thing stopping me using this app now. Hope it improves. Would rather that gets sorted before any additions like mms etc.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
speed is now perfect on my phone, only thing missing for me is support for multiple messages in the popup reply, because when i receive 2 sms, it only displays 1 and if i reply or mark as read, it does not give me any indication that there is another sms in the inbox
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
No, loading is as fast as it is gong to get. If you want it to load faster, then limit the number of initially loaded conversations. The latest update fixed some problems with resume speed, but not initial start up speed.
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
I've also had issues where I'll delete a conversation, and it deletes the wrong one. :'( .

I'd long press on it from conversation lost, and select delete. It would ask if I want to delete with the correct username. I click yes, and then notice another conversation was deleted instead
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
What about overall app response time?

As sending a message | deleting a message | moving around causes frequent "Messaging Stopped Responding; wait, kill . . ."

When app hangs failures occur sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] TheByteSmasher:
Do you have any plans for a widget?

Sent from my Nexus 4 or 7
[Android Apps and Games] Dukko:
What phone do you have? I'm on a Nexus S and it's faster than stock.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
sorry about that, it only occurs when you have pull to refresh enabled and will be fixed for the next version. Again, sorry!

not sure why that would be happening, but I have never once had it hang on me. I assume it happens when you try and load all of your messages?

Someday in the future, yes.

Added some nice features today... screen waking options for notifications and a separate option to limit the conversations initially loaded. Couple of things on my plate for tomorrow to add: personal signatures, different (hopefully quicker) way of loading messages (again lol) and perhaps some per contact notifications options if i have time. and maybe the ability to send to multiple contacts. We'll just have to wait and see :) You'll see an update tomorrow afternoon sometime though with most or all of these features.

Has the name says, it tells you if the sms was delivered, so, you'll pay for that (first time i hear someone paying for reports).
[Android Apps and Games] leongzxc:
great concept..

but its really very slow.. and no extra settings for the user to configure. perhaps in the future..

would consider re-installing if most of the stuff mention by the users above me are fixed :) especially the slow loading.

btw, you should consider a "dark" theme as well, like the inverted apps.. it would really be an awesome feature.
[Android Apps and Games] jsaini04:
The app takes like 4 seconds to load every time I open it. I have the Galaxy s2 and every other app opens up within a second.

Like everyone else said MMS isn't working which is a bummer.

I kinda like the font size on this.. it makes it all seem small and sharp "/

Stock AOSP messaging app font size is too big for my phone.

I like it overall. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Roundtableprez:
Good but too slow for my liking. Keep at it though I'm sure it will get there
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:

Wonderful app! Became my default one just now.

A bug:

I'm in the app, and then get a message from someone, i press quick reply and message them. The app does not update the message i sent them until i exit and come back in it.

REALLY nice and creative idea! Thanks dev! Smooth as butter.

P.S. options such as dark theme etc would be nice, but keep it minimal
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Sadness.. my device isnt compatible :( can a version for Android 2.3+ be released.. as i really liked the idea..
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
glad you like it! i had just noticed that bug as well when i saw this comment and i believe it should be fixed now for the next update! That should be coming tomorrow. once i get a homescreen/lockscreen widget nailed down, i plan to add some settings such as theme and text size. not sure what else, but probably not too much.

I'm making this app during my winter break from school, so after next week not much work will probably be done... so i will finish as much as i can before then, but i am finally happy with how well the app performs at least in the latest version, almost eliminated lag on my phone (galaxy nexus)! not sure if i will be able to make it much faster though, so older phones then mine may be left a little slower... :crying: i'll keep seeing what i can do.

sorry, i would add support if i could, but a lot of the features i use are only available from ice cream sandwich and on :( also, i would be afraid that getting into older devices, the app would run to slowly... i may look into it in the future, but it probably wont happen.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
It's cool, I love the app, will recommend it to others for sure.

Another "bug" Not sure if its the app or Swype but if press on "type message" then go to next screen, keyboard doesn't go down and lets me keep typing, not sure if its app or swype.

Again thanks for the wonderful app

klinkdawg could you please make popup reply for every sms instead of displaying just one popup even if there is more than 1 sms in the inbox?Its the only thing right now keeping me from using this app as my main messaging app(and buying the pro version for mms support)

What about an indicator for delivered message?

I really need it in this app

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Guys I'm not going to lie, I really have no idea how the delivery reports work or if they even work at all lol I've never used them. Just found a guide online how to print a toast when the message is sent. I don't think it actually does something when the message has been delivered. In a future release though I plan on adding the option to put a check mark next to delivered messages. Not too high on my priority list though because as I said I've never used them before and dont really understand them or why you would use them lol sorry, but eventually I think they will get better after I've corrected other things.
[Android Apps and Games] fickyalhamdani:
cool apps!!
[Android Apps and Games] chreddy:
Really amazing app, and it gets better with every update! :)

Afaik the only real difference is that you get MMS support with the paid version. Also you're supporting the dev of course :)
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
where can i find that app?searched play store and google and couldnt find it

thanks

edit: nevermind, just found it

edit2: i found ibpopup kinda useless to me, it does not mark sms as read and when i reply to a sms, the notification stays there..having to clear notifications everytime defeats the whole purpose of popup reply imo...might as well go into the app and reply there. But thanks for the suggestion anyway=)

sorry for the offtopic klinkdawg
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Version 3.90 coming up to you guys within the next couple hours! heres what i had time to add today:

- Much more colorful emojis :)

- Send Message to multiple contacts

- Screen wake option for notifications

- Separate limit conversations option

- Personal signatures

- Bug fixes & Minor UI changes

Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] JPhantom95:
With the stock messager, I would notice that a message would fail to send if it didn't go through within the first few seconds. With no feedback like this, my phone is already locked and in my pocket when the failed message alert pops up.

This is my experience in my bad-service town.
[Android Apps and Games] Beast84:
Is MMS fully working or is it still just being able to view older ones? I'll gladly pay for a fully working messaging app
[Android Apps and Games] mandlar:
In HandCent it tells you one of these situations:

1) The message failed to send

2) The message was sent (but not marked as received)

3) The message was sent and received

If the other person's phone supports it the delivery receipt, then it will automatically tell the send that the message was sent and therefore on the sender's end it shows that the message was received.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Nope and it may not be for a while. I have time to add in little features here and there, but big features like that take time (especially without help from Google, which is almost nonexistent) and that is time I just do not have currently with school.
[Android Apps and Games] gaui:
One "bug". On Samsung phones, in Contacts, you can swipe to the left to send SMS. When I choose your app for that, it doesn't go the conversation for that number.

Please add this. :)
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Same here on my Motorola. Tapping on the texting icon will open SM, but it won't go to the proper conversation. It just goes to the inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] pnyboy27:
Another feature I would like to suggest, which might help speed up the app a bit, is when we have our view set to show only a certain amount of messages, if we load to pull, can we have an option to load only the next set of messages? Rather than loading them all? So whatever we set ours to, whether it be 20, 25, etc, when we pull down to load, it can load the next 20, 25, etc.

Another feature I would like to request, is the ability to have different notification tones for certain people/groups. Thanks!
