Drafts will be done eventually. Emoticon button will not be added though, clutters things too much and I also don't want to add them into the emoji drawer because I want to keep that only for emojis so it isn't confusing.

All of the emoticon settings you described are already in settings, and you can save MMS by holding down on the message near the date. You'll get a popup with the option to save attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] Jodicus6645:
Klink do you think it could be TouchWiz not allowing this feature? I am on a Galaxy S4 I can not say I remember the stock messenger app doing this either. I just tried with the settings you suggested with Wifi off and still did not get a preview in the notification field.

I should also note I did not disable the stock messaging app as you recommended in the app store description, but I do have notifications turned off so I never see activity from the stock app as expected. But like someone just posted above if I disable the stock app from pulling MMS automatically it seems Sliding Messaging is less consistent with MMS text and group text than with it on, even with the Override Stock App check box applied.

Either way I can live without it I thought I would just give feedback. This app was worth the money and is by far the best messenger app IMO thanks for the feedback and support.
[Android Apps and Games] PearlMikeJam:
Thanks for the reply Klink. No, my WiFi is not on. To test, I was sending myself a pic, and sending seems to work fine, but it will not download. I tried both Verizon APNs, but neither work. Any other suggestions? I would freeze the stock app, but I need something to send videos.

Update - I froze the stock app and all works as expected. I now need to find another app to send videos, but that is probably better than having the stock app interfere with everything.

Awesome app

I wish I had the knowledge to help out with the MMS issues. Your app is amazing, even with the remaining minor issues.

One example of MMS weirdness:

My wife sent me three pictures, and they showed up as three separate messages (very ideal behavior, given the downright idiotic, low-res slideshow stock gives me). I got a thumbnail for the first image in the conversation list, but the next two are just giant blank spaces. If I tap in the squares, I can see the pictures. They're just not showing up in the thread.

When I switched over to stock to see if they arrived, I saw all three thumbnails there. And I briefly saw the thumbnails when I came back to Sliding. I currently have the wi-fi fix enabled, but I can't really be bothered to constantly toggle it, if it's having an effect on the thumbnails. I have not yet experimented with some of the other MMS settings yet to see if I missed something.

I will definitely start recommending your app to people, albeit with a couple small caveats (MMS needing ironing out and drafts).

Keep up the great work!

I just notices that the "Delete Conversation" menu point in the chat/conversation it self is gone!

Why?
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
Anyone else getting this? If popup appears and you press SEND without a message, it will force close. Also when a popup appears and I don't want to reply, the check mark that use to be on the top right corner of the popup to mark it as read is not there anymore. This is how I found out that pressing send will get rid of the popup by pressing the send button and force closing the app

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

I was hoping to see part of the conversation so when I batch delete I can try to remember if some of the conversations was important or not. As for the swipe delete, if you figure this out in the future I don't think there would even be a need for batch delete since it only takes one swipe to delete it. I know this is a work in progress so I appreciate what you've done. I don't know much about coding but is it possible to take a look at Gmail coding and copy their slide to delete coding lines? Again...I don't know if coding works like this...
[Android Apps and Games] PearlMikeJam:
Klink - here is what I have found on MMS. I hope this info is helpful.

Generally speaking, it does not seem as though Sliding is registering itself completely as a Text Messaging app. I say this because when I installed Chomp or Handcent, other apps immediately recognized those as an SMS app. Also, if I set Sliding as default messaging app, that does not stick after a reboot. For example, I use a couple of SMS widgets for a stacked card layout on my home screens. Both of those widgets do not recognize Sliding, but do recognize stock, Handcent and Chomp. When I froze stock messaging and removed Chomp and Handcent, the widget force closed when I tried to launch a message from it. It was not recognizing Sliding.

I mention all this because, with my device, Sliding will only download MMS when all other apps are frozen or uninstalled. Without another app, however, video MMS will not download. I know I cannot send videos, but I thought I should be able to receive them.

Please let me know if you need more details or if I can help. This is my go to messaging app. I want to help make it perfect.

I meant to post this a couple of days ago and it could be coincidental but after freezing Sliding Messaging I have noticed better battery life out of my phone. I will continue to try it on and off to see if this is really the case. Just thought I would post a possible issue. Anyone else noticing any battery drainage with the app? This was also before the update today.

I'm not sure Klink. I just know that when I try to make one it never saves. It doesn't even show in the Individual Notifications list. I've tried multiple contacts to no avail. :(
[Android Apps and Games] allzhere:
Great

Works good for me
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
Most certainly not on my device. Use BetterBatteryStats to check if Sliding Messaging is causing any wakelocks.

Sliding Messaging isn't affecting my battery one bit, at least not that I can perceive.

[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Just updated, and now the popup message works, but it shows MY last message to that person and not the new one being received...:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Hmm. Maybe try turning on override stock.

That's because batch delete has taken its place and you can delete a single message by holding down on it in the conversation list.
[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Seems to have fixed it! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] darek.pl:
So maybe add option in settings like this: User can decide what wont to display for click on emojis button (emojis or emoticons). In other words, if someone tick/select emojis then click on button display emojis, but if someone tick/select emoticons then click on button display list of emoticons.

Thanks for give me a hint, it is work fine :)

And I must say, that most of may friends are changing their apps for Your app, when I'm showing them Slide Messaging. You are doing very good work :)

If you don't mind me asking, how did you accomplish the google now card ui?
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
I do have the restart issue too since the update. I did think it might have been because of the card layout (I switched to this layout the same day) but it's probably more logical it comes from the update. I'm on a Galaxy nexus.

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
pm me and we'll talk. i'll give you examples and stuff if you would like.

I've been getting restarts when updating a lot of my apps lately, could be a rom issue to play store issue, I just know that when they finish installing it tends to restart, I don't think it is an issue with this app though.

I will see what I can come up with for a good way to implement this. not gonna lie, ive never installed go sms on my phone and dont plan to ever, so i dont know how their features work :P
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
Mmmm i'm not rooted and running the official android. Wouldn't ROM issue come from custom ROMs? I'll try to uninstall and reinstall the app. Maybe its only an install problem who knows. If it keeps happening I'll try and post a log if necessary.

Thanks anyways.

Klink - I discovered a couple bugs with the repeat notification.

1 - I use Tasker to silence my phone at night. The notification volume is set to 0 and vibration is disabled. When I receive a text, the initial notification does not vibrate or ring, but the repeats do not follow the system settings and will ring and vibrate until the notification is cleared.

2 - When I use the notification shade option to mark a message as read, the notification disappears, but the repeat notification continues. The only way to stop this is to open Sliding.

Hopefully these are easy fixes.

Did an enquiry about this in the past though I got no respond....any chance sliding message will work with Tesla unread or any feature to be implemented so as to check how many incomes you have received ? As it is right now it's quite easy to miss a message if two or more people have contacted you...

EDIT. My bad....seems to be working with Tesla...thing is my market wouldn't show me Tesla had an available update since February...which is the update that probably fixed it.... My bad sorry.... this post can be deleted

either of you want to test a new build? my carrier doesn't do delivery reports. if so, pm me.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Status update from the past couple days since I haven't been around, here's whats been acomplished on the updates (to the pro version only, free will most likely be updated tomorrow after a couple more little things today):

- Blacklist contacts (Pro only)

- Option to choose where some data is stored (internally vs external SD card). Switch to internal if you are having trouble saving data such as individual notifications, blacklist, or templates

- Option to split messages for carriers who could previously not send long messages

- Option to move action bar to top of screen on card layout

- Bug fixes

for the next update:

- Squashed the pesky delivery report bug when using the back button (same bug as what was causing some of your messages not to be marked as sent sometimes)

- Improved fluidity for scrolling up and down through conversations: this mostly applies to those of you getting laggy on emojis and emoticons, but will help a little bit with mms messages as well. Should be smooth for emojis and about half as laggy for pictures from my testing

- Couple other little bug fixes I don't really remember (one of them being the contact pictures and information in the classic layout action bar not showing at startup)

May hold off on updating with any significant features for a little while til babel is released. Main thing I have left on my list is scheduled sms, I've blown through the rest of them pretty quickly over the last week. Once babel is out, I'll at least take the rumored 800+ emojis and put them in, and hopefully much much more than that as well. only time will tell how google implements things and how easy it will be for us devs to merge changes to our apps (something tells me it wont be easy at all, unfortunately). Finals week finally for me, so cheers, probably no more big updates for a little while.

Klink.. I was hoping for a bit of colour/themes in the card layout...I guess there's no immediate plans to add this?
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Got this update. A LOT smoother when scrolling through a conversation now; it used to always stutter for me but now it's almost on par with the stock app.

Delivery tick works better but still can sometimes switch from no tick (when sent but not yet received) to "sending..." when doing something like hiding the keyboard.

Now if only the blinking when sending a message that's longer than one line could be fixed, I could really switch from stock. I know you've tried, but you've faced many obstacles and always passed them eventually, I believe in you ;) (doesn't happen on the old layout, maybe the solution is in what differs between the layouts when sending a message?).

tptlk
[Android Apps and Games] Clem484:
I also have the blinking when I send a long message.

Since the update, I slide and open all conversations, and when I open an old or other conversation, messages don't load and Sliding Messaging force close.. Can you try to fix it ? Because this bug and force close always appears on my Nexus 4..
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
there are plans for this, but other things are taking priority first. It could be a little while before I get around to that.

uncheck the run as background service option and that may fix it if you have it checked.

I've checked this option, but now, I unchecked, and the bug still appears.

See my screenshots :

1) When I open a conversation :

2) Application doesn't work

3) And then, if I don't make a force close, screen stay black like that when I restart Sliding messaging:

one minor issue klink, card layout, action bar at the top(unsure of other settings) when messages load that have MMS content, it pushes the bottom message under the text input line.

When this happens messages wont even load on the stock app and received messages are lost
[Android Apps and Games] batwingnz:
First of all this may be entirely unrelated to Sliding Messaging, but it's the SMS application I use and i'm having issues.

I've been using Sliding Messaging exclusively for a couple of months, this issue has only surfaced three days ago.

I am able to receive only some SMS. The SMS aren't delayed like "normal" congested network issues, they just don't arrive at all.

This is intermittent, for instance: I can text my friend or brother and receive a reply one minute then not receive the next several texts they send and suddenly, hours later, receive a text from them asking why i've not responded...

I've called my network provider and of course they think it can only be the handset - which they won't support.

For now i've turned off over-ride stock messaging app in settings to see if things improve.

Outbound messages all work OK, it's just inbound. Phonecalls, mobiledata are fine. Just SMS....

Sorry for the long boring post, basically I want to know if there's some troubleshooting within Sliding Messaging I could be doing?

Cheers

Any talented graphics artists out there want to make an updated icon for the app? The current one just seems a little plain and boring in my opinion :) Also, anyone who's good at video editing want to make a promotional video? PM and we'll talk about it!

Been trying to sort through a couple more bugs this week and figured out the nasty one not saving MMS sometimes if the message was not auto downloaded (yay)! That was a bad one. Also, worked on furthering MMS support and got multiple images attached and working, that will be included in the next version when you hit the attach button and choose "attach more...". Also included are options for attaching video and audio in that "attach more" activity, but still trying to work on those and you wont be able to attach them yet. Will also be trying to get contact cards attaching and sending through plain text (will probably just include name and associated phone numbers) and the .vcf contact card through mms. Not sure on how i'll do the later yet, but I'll be trying to figure it out.

Again, anyone out there interested in making an icon or promo video please let me know, I would be VERY appreciative :)

Yes but I believe delivery reports depend upon its availability provided by the network. Sad to say that my plan doesn't provide such services. I was hoping for a feature that Go SMS has, as it notifies when the sms was sent without requiring added network services. Thanks for the reply anyway. SM is such a great app, I'm using this one in lieu of android sms app. I hope the developer will consider such feature:)
