I went from 16 SECONDS to 3 SECONDS.

3 seconds is honestly manageable... if you need to check texts/reply to texts faster, just use the notification bar features

there is a simple solution for that, but jacob dont want it :(
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
umm... care to inform the rest of us about that simple solution haha? Maybe delete all your messages?
[Android Apps and Games] Cyrene:
The only time I ever get the black SM screen is if my phone has been idle for awhile, and then go only a second or two. Otherwise, everything loads instantly for me. I don't keep thousands of messages, probably a total of around 1000. I back up the ones I want with SMS Backup to my email. No complaints here.
[Android Apps and Games] rob rich:
for example ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
Yes I had nothing but problems when I first installed the app. After I deleted all messages I've only had a few minor problems since and it's completely usable. For whatever reason most sms apps have issues if you have a ton of messages. So delete them all and you'll be all good :)
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
finally tried sending MMS this morning and wife never got :(

I did enable MMS (duh) and selected the Preset APN for my carrier (Sprint). Ideas to fix or this a bigger issue than me being a dumbsh*t with a wrong setting?

-when using Chomp SMS, I had no issues sending MMS if ya wanna try digging into their coding (if ya can)
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Sprint has been a huge problem, i would recommend send through stock option until a fix is found, sorry about that, it is one of the few that we have no idea why it doesn't work right now...
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
thats what i'm doing, but figured if you guys study Chomp SMS's coding, may help you see what they did to get it working.

Thanks again for your awesome app!!!!

Hello. Something bothering me.

When I start a new message in portrait mode and I switch into landscape mode, the message is lost.

I'm using 3.46 and it takes about 3.5 seconds to load. I have less than 500 messages. Not sure why it went backwards for me but before 3.41 it was around 1-1.5 seconds to load. Not bad at all.

AW: [APP][Free] Sliding Messaging

ok I uninstalled go SMS now and I'm getting notifications :) but there's still no speed difference.. (got thousands of messages on my phone)
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
Hi,

Since the latest update (3.46), I've found that messages are shown oldest first. So even when I get a new message, the popup will show the new message, but if I open the app it takes me to the oldest text? The text in each thread are also oldest date first, but new ones coming through are showing correctly. I've tried deleting the app and re-installing, but this hasn't affected it.

Overall the app has been a lot more stable for me on S2, the issue with duplicate threads resulting in FCs has stopped. Seems to have sped up since the first versions and messages now show as read on the stock app as well. Very impressed with the app and the support of the dev on this app.

Thanks :D

3.46 is noticably faster for me when opening the app. Still not instantly fast but theres a lot of progress! Did you think about the feature of a little sign when messages are delivered below the actual message?
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
+1 for this. Just like the actual SMS app that have a tick when delivered. Thanks!

No faster for me. App still takes 6-8 seconds to open.

I actually deleted thousands of messages in a bid to get it faster and it made no difference whatsoever! I wish I'd backed them up first lol

Still, is moving in the right direction and is a stunning start.

Thanks again for your hard work Chap.

[Android Apps and Games] dermann:
Dou you guys have the "open contact list at startup" ticked? There's still a 1.5 second delay, but it should be faster with that.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
nope, itll load exactly the same speed, it still loads in every message needed when app is launched.

Update 3.50 is going on the play store soon. includes lots of little bug fixes, the option to limit the number of conversations loaded initially (the rest can be loaded by selecting load all messages from the menu), an option to disable contact pictures, and an Italian translation.

Still working toward mms in a future update (hopefully not to far away lol)
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Again regarding startup speed.

Perhaps you should at the beginning only load the contact list with the main gui.

That would mean that you have to delete the option "Load contact list at startup" as this would be the only and by the way logical way to start the app.

And after a minimum time load the chats itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Kryolos:
I have been following this thread pretty closely and saw this mentioned earlier but I am not sure if it was ever answered. The only real problem I have is that when I try to message someone through my contacts it brings me to the app but doesn't create a message or anything.

Other than that, I think the app is great. Never had an app that I had to update 3+ times in a single day before :)
[Android Apps and Games] GetPatriotized:
I have around 13000 msgs and it loads 7 seconds as well. Use SMS backup next time!

Voicemail to MMS

My provider (Rogers) has a service that sends voicemails as MMS attachments (AMR audio). If I set MMS to auto-download, the attachment doesn't show up. If not auto-downloading, I get the "Download" button but the app crashes when I hit it. Big show-stopper for me. Please, please make it work! Thank you!

[Android Apps and Games] 1/4 Life:
I'm having some odd issues with MMS on Verizon. Small files (30KB) are taking upwards of an hour to download, but only sometimes. Any idea what could be wrong there? The stock messaging app seems to download them fine with no wait, and I've tried both presets.

I've also been having some crashes (off and on) when trying to attach an image to a message by capturing it. I'm running on Cyanogenmod 10. Attaching them with the gallery picker is flawless though.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
I am pretty sure that jacob has done nothing to the animations for opening the app. The difference is that I believe it goes into another activity very quickly to load the messages, which makes the load time much faster. So you are probably seeing the second activities animation if anything. But because of speed issues, that is how it is going to work haha sorry about that
[Android Apps and Games] Tower1972:
been having some issues..I really REALLY want to like this app, but MMS plain out doesnt work for me.

I have tried the WiFI fix checked, I have tried loading the presets for AT&T(the Cingular AND the AT&T ones),,and I have also tried to input the MMS information manually.. I also tried it with the "use stock MMS" option I think it was...Whenever I try to send a person a photo, it just shows the animation sending thingies until about 10 min later, I delete the message. I have also had it where I sent someone a picture, and they receive it 20 min later (we compared times when it was received)

Soon as I reinstall GoSMS, MMS works no problem so I dont know what it could be (after a full uninstall, plus I remove any left over folders GoSMS has just to make sure)

Also another problem. I have 5 font packs installed on my phone but when I scan for the fonts, it doesnt show them. Is there anyway to get this app to scan the main storage also, not just the SD card?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
MMS 100% works on AT&T. Turn on mobile data, but off wifi and choose one of the AT&T presets and it works. and no, it will continue to only scan the sd card for fonts.
[Android Apps and Games] Tower1972:
well one last question. If I have to turn off WiFi every time I send a picture, it wont work for me since the stock app/GoSMS seems to send them even with wifi on. Will I have to turn off wifi manually each time I send a photo, or is that a one time set up thing then the program will act like the other MMS ones?
[Android Apps and Games] Scallywag1:
Every time u will need to do it. There's a setting for WiFi fix. It manually does that. Try that
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Yes, WiFi fix does this automatically for you. Turn it off for testing purposes and experiment a little bit. I don't use WiFi ever and I haven't ever had a single problem with MMS.
[Android Apps and Games] Tower1972:
I did run it with the WiFI fix enabled..but ill give it a shot with wifi turned off completely first for testing..thanks again!

[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
does/did it work with stock sms app? I set my Lightflow up over a year ago then switched to SM for my sms and had no issues and didn't need to change anything at all. From my findings, SM doesn't hinder Lightflow at all. See if it works with another sms app (I was previously on ChompSMS when I set up Lightflow)

[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
Why does it take so long to open the app? I mean most of the times it takes more than 5 secs to open it. When i don't "close it" with the back key its definitely quicker. Can you consider adding an option to keep it in memory?
[Android Apps and Games] PearlMikeJam:
I have a Maxx HD, and the only way I could get the pics to download was from the Stock Messaging app. The only way I was able to get Sliding to work most of the time with pics was to disable or freeze the Stock app, which then prevents you from sending videos. If you can do without sending videos, this may be your answer.

I think the issue is a combination of things. Sliding does not seem to register itself with the OS the way other SMS apps do. You get the prompt to choose an app when you want to compose an SMS, but apps that are built to use the default messaging app without prompting you always call to the Stock app and do not recognize Sliding. Conversely, in my experience, my stock Moto version of Android 4.1.2 does not play nice with other apps that want to access SMS. I have had to uninstall Sliding, Glowfly, NotifierPro and Light Flow in order to receive all of my messages. Moto claims they were causing a conflict, which resulted in the messages getting lost before they were completely delivered, but that's my problem, not yours.

[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
Thanks. I honestly dont understand how every other sms app doesn't lag. Maybe theres some unused code in there that makes it lag, or maybe it just needs to be heavily optimized. I think he should rebuild the app from the ground up, with minimal code to try and fix the lag. Or get help from some other developers that struggled with the same issue. I think I'm gonna switch back to the default messaging app for now, until the lag (if it ever does) gets sorted out. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't by now.
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:

Well i am glad that sheduled messages are included now, but the menu entry for those has to be in the main menu of the app and not hidden in the settings. Can you change that? What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
I'm pretty much just using SM or the popup only right now. Since sms popup gives me multiple notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Ok let's think about this... How is in any way like any other SMS app you are comparing to? It accesses the same database and displays that to the screen. That's about it. The interface is completely different from anything else ever done. First of all, for startup, the app must load the conversation list AND the first 2 conversations to allow for scrolling. That causes a hell of a lot of data needing a place to be stored right from the start vs just loading the conversation list. If you have 100 conversations and load them with the stock app, then that's all you've got to load, 100 items. Now load the first 2 conversations as well, even if they only have 100 messages in them (which I'm sure they don't), that triples the amount you need loaded already. Now, say each has 1000. That's 2100 to parse and load instead of initially 100. That's a huge difference.

Next, let's look at scrolling between conversations. Every app you have ever used has you click on a conversation in the list, and then loads that single conversation. Going back to our 1000 messages example, that's 1000 items to load. Simple as that. Now let's try to slide to the next conversation. That makes another 1000 messages that have to be loaded and applied to the view SMOOTHLY, instead of just loading when you click on the conversation and the view is loading. At the same time, you've gotta get rid of the previous conversation and get ready to move onto the next, all the while keeping the conversation list in memory. Add that process through 10 time when scrolling through conversations. Starting to see the problem? Even scrolling up and down in conversations will lag just because there is so much that needs to be done to keep the app sliding between conversations.

Theres a reason why google didnt add this movement between conversations in their hangouts app no matter how convenient it seems to be and thats why. Sure, a view pager is perfect when you dont have to load thousands upon thousands of data entries from the database, but how in gods name can you expext it to do that smoothly after all of that? If youre going to keep too many messages, then its never going to be smooth and i dont know how you could possibly expect it to be after what i just explained. I dont have the resources or time to rewrite the entire app and if you think thats going to happen then thats nuts. Sure dont have the money to hire other people to do it for me either, because frankly its just not going to get better. Plus, im not going to waste that money fixing things that arent broken for me, that money is much better suited to pay for my college to advance me further in life then anything else.

Thats about all i got, if you still think its a viable option for message horders then i dont really know what to tell you. After the next update theres not much more i, or anyone can do to make you happy. Want to use the app, then delete your old messages and limit them around 500. Theres an option for that in advanced settings. If not, go back to goSMS.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
The normal user will never use this option enough to warrent putting it in the main apps menu. MAYBE set one up every once in a while and then you just want to forget about it and let it go. To me, it makes no sense to clutter that menu more then it needs to be and it will stay in settings where it should be in my opinion.
