Sorry for upsetting you. I've even tested to see if the messages were causing the lag, and they weren't. I only have 3 message threads with one message each, and it still stutters quite a bit swiping between them. I understand now that you have more important things to worry about. Sorry agian.

What volume does SM use for notifications? I use Tasker to mute my notification volume at night, but it does not seem to have any effect on SM notifications. Other notifications are muted, but not SM.
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
So honestly I get it. I get there's limitations to the app because you want to have the sliding feature. However, there's suggestions of limiting the # of conversations, limiting the history that's displayed. Google Hangouts has that problem right now where a lot of conversations are displayed and thus can be slow on load too.

I know you've added the ability to limit conversations so only the last 50 are loaded or whatever, but IMO it's still choppy to scroll up and down those 50 messages.

I think there's a lot of users here looking for a GoSMS replacement. And just because you think it's ok to purge all text messages doesn't make it ok for everyone else. Everyone has different needs and to group us all as hoarders and tell us to limit to 500 messages or go home isn't really productive either.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyrene:
I have read all 267 pages of this thread and while some people seem to show obvious support to the developer, others seem to sound pretty nasty. The nastiness is counterproductive, imo. My experience with this app has had its ups and downs, but I can honestly say that I have never communicated with any developer as responsive as Klinkdawg. To me, this is what's important. Being that this app is still in Beta, I expect the glitches and even tho they can sometimes be frustrating to me, I can only imagine how frustrating it is to Klinkdawg, especially when the tone of so many posts are so negative. I'm quite confident that he is doing everything he can in attempt to please everyone possible.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
Constructive criticism.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Guys, can we please stop this. If we were able to make it better by changing things, we would. Simple as that. We are honestly doing everything we can, and if that isn't enough, sorry. Like jacob said, we are out of ideas and there really aren't any other apps out there like this to go off of.

As this site is for developement purposes, help us fix it. No one is giving any concrete logically solution other than limiting conversations. Jacob has said that limiting conversations doesn't really do anything though because of the way the database works. So that is probably out of the question.

If you have any ideas (programming logic wise) on how to fix the lag problems, great, please feel free to help. But XDA isn't really suppose to be a place to just give you "constructive criticism" without any answers or help solving the problem.

Believe me, we are trying, but arguing about it isn't going to help. So right now, the solution is this: delete some messages. That is how i deal with it, and that is how you guys might have to. Sorry if that doesn't fit your style. Maybe this app isn't for you then. We tried.

If people don't want to delete their messages, the app, SMS Backup+ will transfer them to gmail. Does a nice job of it too, and they're easy to access.

couple of surprise features are up and ready for the next update :) this one is shaping out to be the best yet in my opinion, you'll all enjoy it! hoping to release early this weekend.

For the matter of the stuttering while loading messages, is there a way to probe the db for, let's say, the last 20-50 messages received, or create a secondary db that SM uses that only contains the most recent 50 messages that is derived from the master db?

[Android Apps and Games] verntechguy:
Cool! Dev is very responsive to email. Hope he figures out on how to add dual-sim support. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I really like this idea and actually have considered it as an alternative in the past and have already tried to implement a type of secondary db that only sm uses. I was able to do it just fine for the SMS database, but ran into problems on the MMS side, that database is 10x more complicated and I've barely scratched the surface of what it hold in my app. I do see 2 pluses to this approach:

1) ability to completely control what goes in and out, wouldnt need to add junk in there that I don't use

2) ability to add other objects to it (Google voice anyone? ;) )

The problem is that I've yet been unsucessfull in recreating the database, mostly because I don't have much experience in anything like that and the database is so complex. Also, this would force the app to have to save messages to both databases which could cause worse performance. So in conclusion, thank you for the idea very much and I think its a great possibility for the future, but at this time just not a viable option. Ive attempted it in the past and just havent been successful.
[Android Apps and Games] KYT:
What if you added a checkbox in settings that would enable a proprietary DB for only for SM's SMS. Leaving the app code the way it is, add a condition for the box; if it's true then use the proprietary subroutine, and if not, then continue as usual. So if it gets screwed up, the user can easily disable it.

Then you could setup the new DB using whatever format you deem necessary, and only save to this one, not to the stock messaging app concurrently. Maybe it wouldn't be too hard to get it to save the MMS as well if it was built for your conditions.

I was just thinking that building the DB from scratch may help keep you from have to recreate the database, and save all that time spent reverse engineering it.

If this is all what you meant, and I just interpreted it wrong, please disregard! :p

You could maybe even throw in a cron job to backup that custom DB every X amount of time to the users' Google Drive.

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/06/15-practical-crontab-examples/

Edit: or maybe a sync service that injects the custom DB back into the stock DB every so often? Every night at a certain time, or when SM hasn't been used in X time?
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
Exactly what I was saying. You don't have to recreate the android SMS/MMS db, all you need is to read the current one, write the newest changes to SM_DB and go from there.

There's no real need to actually load the bloated/big android SMS/MMS db, unless you need to look back more than 50 messages.

Why reinvent the wheel when you just need a new tire.

maybe you should add a poll in your thread who needs mms and who not. then you know how important mms is for the people (i for example never used mms in times of whatsapp and so)
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
This is me. I know I've said it in the thread previously, but I HATE when people send me MMS. I'd much, much, much rather get it via Hangouts or FB Messenger. Or even email.
[Android Apps and Games] Rox598:
Does anyone know how to get the beta updates? The lack of drafting is annoying but I know its part of current beta update :) I tried then link on G+ but keep getting a 404
[Android Apps and Games] KYT:
Confirmed 404 as well.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

While MMS is not "important" to me, I do use it.

I have not been able to get SM to send MMS on my Sprint Epic 4G Touch (SGSII), but I can receive them. So when I want to send an email, I use the Gallery and Share via the stock messaging app. A subjectively mild inconvenience.

I have used Hangouts to send images, but it's still the same; I use a secondary app to send with. A very small number of my contacts use Hangouts, and a fraction of those leave it running on their phones. MMS is the only way I can be sure they received whatever it is I was sending.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Yeah guys this is what i am talking about with the help from a developer community! Like Jacob said, we don't have much experiance with this kind of stuff right now (and i have even less than him), but it is definitely something we could look into, i really like the sync idea during the night!

Right now we are finishing up with the latest update then we might take a little break for awhile cause our schedules are both crazy right now and this update has been a ton of work and stress for both of us, but this kind of thing could be the next step for the app, to take it to the next level.

with this latest update, the app is going to come out of the beta stages, and we have added almost everything to it that we think is necessary, acouple more odds and ends, but our todo list is much shorter now than it has been in the past and that is something we are sooo happy about. Should free up more time to look into things like this, but like i said, it might be a little while still haha

Keep bring on the good ideas though :laugh: that is exactly what we want to see from this thread!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Have you gotten the pro version? You must join the beta community first as well
[Android Apps and Games] Rox598:
Yeah I have the pro version ah might explain in then. But I suppose no need since the update is this weekend x

For everyone?
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
I love this app but hate the loading time when I open the app. It needs to be a lot more instant. That's the only thing stopping me from using this app
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
should be a little faster again with the next update, but it will never be instant because of the style, it has been discussed many times, and even in the last few pages i think, search and you will find out why, I am not gonna explain all of it again haha

and yes, the update this weekend will be for everyone, and we added a few new features that even beta testers will be pleasantly surprised by :)
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
Yeah, maybe I should just go with it. I'm sure I would get used to it eventually. Is not even so much the loading time as it is the ugly screen that shows up while it's loading that I don't like.

Maybe if something prettier could be added as it loads the conversations that would be good :P

Big respect to the devs. Still an amazing app.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:

You can all find Sliding Messaging Pro's new home here!
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
For the starting time : is it gonna help if there would be an option to keep the app in memory so it loads faster?

For the msg parsing lag : is it gonna help if you use a database which scans all the messages and in time you add new conversations through the scanner so the db is always uptodate ?

I don't know if these can be implemented just sharing my ideas for this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
That means Next Week no free Version here available and only Pro on xda?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
The pro will still be on the play store, but you are correct, no more free version available. Its not like it will delete it from your phone or anything if you have it though...
[Android Apps and Games] KYT:
How about attaching the final version of the free app to this thread? If anyone comes along later, it won't be available for download on the Play Store but they could get it here. You'd need to note that it was the final free version, and there will be no updates for it. Then get a moderator to close this thread to new messages.

Will the change to the Pro version affect those of us that already have it?
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
That means you have to take down the thread. You can't advertise paid only apps.
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
In batch delete some of the contacts still only show partial numbers. Like 4 out of 10 numbers.
[Android Apps and Games] GatoL0c0:
On the draft support there is a pop up that comes up disappears a little too quickly. The first time it came up I didn't know what it was. By the time I realized that it was a confirmation pop up it disappeared lol

*update*

Tested it again and the pop up should stay on a few seconds longer or until the I decide to close it. On that note, it would be nice to have the option to delete a saved draft if I decide not to use it. I continue to get a confirmation pop up when I slide back to the text with a saved draft that I choose not to use.

[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:

Request: I would LOVE to see a "clock" icon at the top next to other icons to schedule a text (be it for current thread or new message) to schedule one from there vs going into the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] RaiderX29:
I tried searching this thread and I didn't find this mentioned. I just bought and installed the Pro version today. Any time I try to type a contact name in the "to:" line to create a new conversation, sliding messaging crashes.

[Android Apps and Games] MWFD:
Really liked this app when it first started and the developer is great for communication and updates, but the lag has made this unusable for me. I switched to Chomp SMS since that has no lag and also has the option to delay sending a message for 3-5 seconds after hitting send. I was patient with this app thinking the lag would be fixed in a timely fashion and hoped that the dev would add the delay feature that was requested months ago, but I've since lost the patience required to stay with this app. Developer seems to be committed to it though, so that is a good thing - just didn't work out for me.
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
what's the use for the "delay sending" in 3-5 seconds?
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
Because some people don't even read what they are typing before they send it.
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
if that's the reason, they then need to cancel sending, copy the text and correct the issue after pasting it back in, then sending again. Seems like a once-over would be the quick, easier, correct fix, lol.

Hope there is another reason for the delay.

I would love to see a "schedule" icon in the top bar! much easier than to go into settings and create one, a simple & quick icon.
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
When I used chomp, I had it set to delay sending by a half second. It came in handy. Not super often, but often enough. If you cancel a sending message, you don't have to do all that to edit it. It's still in the input bar, so you just fix your error and hit send again.

Since i switched to kiikeyboard with full emoji support is there any chance to add support for all emoji's and not just the chosen few :)
[Android Apps and Games] SpasilliumNexus:
I've come across two issues using this app.

The first one is having multiple messages from more than one person with quick reply in the notification pulldown. I get a message from one person, and I mark that as read from the pulldown. Another person sends me a message and I reply to that via quick reply from the pulldown. When sending that message, it goes to the other person's message that I've marked read.

The other issue is the password prompt keypad in landscape orientation is squished and unusable.

Both of these are happening on my Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3.
[Android Apps and Games] Xelstyle:
Not an important issue but a strange one. Checking custom image for conversation menu force closes after selecting an image and leaves me with this funky effect.

And that's not me censoring.
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
Anyone else notice unusually long startup time lately? I just timed 35 seconds from app launch to load convos when it was ~5-10 seconds before.
[Android Apps and Games] Mitchhutton:
No I haven't noticed any unusual startup times. My conversations load up instantly.
[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
Mine too. I notice a lot of people complaining of start time and lag but I've never noticed any on my note 2 and have been using pro since its first released. I don't back up and save thousands of messages either though. I doubt I ever keep more than a few hundred to a thousand between about 25 conversations.

Just killed all apps, opened sm to time from clicking icon to loaded convos was less then 2 seconds.

1st time trying out this app. having trouble with notifications. as in im not getting any. no icon or vibrate when new text comes in. I have the notifications box selected under settings. I do a test and it works. but wont notify when new text comes in. any ideas what i might be doing wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] ahyiah:
i cannot get the mms working for verizon. i've tried both apn's provided, even modified it on my own. i noticed for gosms, it states that the apn is being pulled from the system database automatically. i understand this can't be done for all phones (gosms even states that), but would it be possible to attempt that anyway? if it fails, then the user can select one of your preselected apn's?
[Android Apps and Games] KreNtal:
With new update this app is perfect, I really enjoy. There's only one thing I don't like: the emojis are too small in text messages, every time I have to put the screen closer to my eyes just to understand what emoji I received. Hope this will be fix
[Android Apps and Games] ahyiah:
my mistake, i didnt notice the disclaimer at the front page. in my defense though, i purchased the app from the play store and the description made no mention of this. however, it did say that most carriers were supported and i just made the assumption that verizon would be one of them.

has there been any work or potential solution so far that would fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
That is outdated information and is no longer the case as this thread should no longer be active since there is no more free version. New thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343371

As for your question, MMS will work perfectly fine on Verizon. Turn off your WiFi, turn on your mobile data, and select on of the Verizon presets. If one doesn't work, try the other. Send a message and it will go through without trouble.
