We are aware of 4.4 changes and their effects on Ninja SMS and will work on it once 4.4 developer SDK is live.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
There is a difference between Emojis and Emoticons, where Emoji are basically Unicode characters. Ninja SMS supports both but when you use the smiley face button it adds Emoji not Emoticons because Emojis offers wider set of options and supported by most modern sms apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
I love this app, but are you guys still working on it at all?

Any chance of adding a delete thread button?

More emojis?

MMS?

Woo for MMS and Thread Delete ;D
[Android Apps and Games] m3tr0p0lis:
1st of all, thanks for this great SMS client i was happy to buy :svetius:

I got a problem with today's update : i can't send MMS.

The ninja asks me to put data on (with others like chomp i don't have to and it works fine), but even if i do so, the picture never goes to my contact ...

Am I the only one ?

PS : I 1st made auto APN settings, then I wrote them manually ... same result :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Master Gowa:
Great app. Purchased it last week.

Any chance of removing the bar on the left side of the message window?

Kinda hurts the look of the interface. Seems to me like there is enough space to squeeze those buttons into the blank spot between the users name and the close button. It would look so much nicer if that bar on the left was eliminated entirely.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Some interface ideas

First of all, a great app but need some improvements on look.

-Hability to select default system font and/or third party as well.

-Popup could be a kind of bubble only message content but expandable just if the user so desire. (like FN app)

-Allow external themes (made by users/themers).

-Chat head could be partially hidden (like Halo).

-Double tap on chathead to close it.

Thank you!

My icon head shape won't stick? Anyone else? I'll be deleting cache and all that good stuff to see
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
Thread delete works perfectly but MMS doesn't.

Whenever I recieve a picture, everything is flawless for the most part, but is there a way to support GROUP Messaging a bit better?
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Yup, now you can send MMS and delete conversations :)
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Can you tell me more about your setup, device, Android version, carrier, etc...
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
We are currently exploring different designs and options to improve and enhance the single and grouped window experience.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
We should start working on the external themes point you mentioned very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Group MMS will be ready very soon, we already started testing it.
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
Not exactly sure what the issue is but this doesn't work with the new Hangouts :(

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
Why is encryption missing?
[Android Apps and Games] m3tr0p0lis:
Sure.

My device : HTC One (m7) GSM

I tried to send MMS with :

1/ Android 4.2 Stock (Sense 5.0)

2/ Android 4.2 CM 10.1.3 stable

3/ Android 4.3 ViperOne 3.1.0 (Sense 5.5)

My carrier : french operator Bouygues Telecom (B and You)

The APN settings are good (other apps can send MMS with the same settings)

I tried with data off and with data on

Still no way :rolleyes:

Tell me if there's something to do to reach the full ninja power :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] big_pongo:
Great ... wanna try! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
In the leaked Hangouts apk, Google is intercepting incoming SMS and MMS messages. They also set the priority of their interceptor to the maximum value, Ninja SMS does the same but because of the installation order (which cannot be changed because Hangouts is a system app) Hangouts app will work and any other app will not.

For now you need to check Hangouts settings and disable their notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
Im not sure I follow, I turned off SMS Notifcations and now I'm not getting anything =/
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
Its not just about notifications. If you want to use Ninja SMS, then you CANNOT use Hangouts for sms AT ALL. You must completely disable Hangouts SMS support. This is not Ninja's fault. Hangouts is basically taking SMS messages away from other apps, so Ninja can't even see it.
[Android Apps and Games] les02jen17:
Hello! Just checking if there are any news at all about dual sim support? :) Thank you for being such an active developer!
[Android Apps and Games] Kris Groove:
I have new hangout app, and Ninja don't work :P
[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
Been stated already. It's Google not ninja
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
So there's no chance at all for this to work with the new hangouts?
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
I know right! How is it that us Android users are spoiled with most everything else but were left with a mediocre app like chomp that's terrible at mms
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
Is it possible for you to notify us when a message doesn't go through or something? =/
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45872421&postcount=182
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
I know he plans on adding it, i guess my question was more of when? Like, the next update? or is it lower on the priority list?
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Ninja SMS is going to work normally with hangouts on the upcoming Android 4.4, however on the older OS versions you will most probably have to disable hangouts messaging feature because they intercept all incoming messages and do not share this info with other apps. At least that is how the leaked hangouts apk behaves and because it is a system app we cannot do anything about it.
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
mostafa, on the same track as my previous comment, can you make Ninja not show a check-mark until the message successfully sends? like, when a user presses send, it should show a busy icon. then if it succeeds, shows a check. if it fails, show the x, notify user of failure, and (if set in preferences) auto-retry.
[Android Apps and Games] Decimation:
I use Google voice. Ninja worked with it on 4.3 but doesn't seem to play so well on 4.4. Any thoughts??
[Android Apps and Games] Dgameman1:
Well for whatever reason, NinjaSMS now works with Hangouts =O
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
well, doing some light reading notes that this isn't allowed anymore. 1 app for SMS as defined by the user through the settings menu.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
It is a actually a really good idea but one of the problems we might face is that there is no status record stored in the SMS database, we could show pending icon until the actual send code is called but still because status is not stored anywhere if you closed the window or moved to the new fullscreen mode the pending icon will disappear even if it is still working.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
You should check out the new update, here is the changelog:

Supported Android 4.4 KitKat, now you can choose Ninja SMS as your default messaging app on KitKat

Fixed duplicate sms issue with the new Hangouts update on pre Android 4.4 Kitkat devices (go to "SMS settings" then "Fix duplicate messages")

Smarter and richer notifications

Ability to show conversation in new fullscreen mode

Overall UI improvements

Bug fixes

[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
Ninja doesn't pop up for me anynore. It just shows a notification. Defeats the purpose of the app
[Android Apps and Games] ScarletBrazil:
Same here.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
The problem is that the new Hangouts update mark messages as "seen" as they get even without any user interaction, which misses with Ninja SMS notifications.

We pushed an update yesterday that fixes SMS popup not showing with Hangouts SMS ON. I think we will also push another related update by the end of this week.
[Android Apps and Games] ScarletBrazil:
Hello,

I neved used Hangouts...
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Did you you try v1.9.2, is it chatheads working for you now? Which app notifies you that you got a new message?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Popup problem

I cannot 100% confirm but i strongly "guess" the popups are not showing for non-contacts only (1.9.2). Better some of you make tests.
[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
I don't use hangouts. And yes I'm on yesterday's update. And all the numbers are my contacts. It doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] ScarletBrazil:
MostafaGazar, it is working now. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] tyler78:
That's the case for me too. Note 2 with stock 4.1.2 right now.
[Android Apps and Games] nyorbee:
Is there any way to ninja SMS was showing chat heads for numbers that are not in our contacts list? And option to set where the chat head should appear at first, left corner of the screen, right, in the middle etc would be nice ;)

This feature worked before, but is gone, don't know why.
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
Does anyone else find if they receive a message whilst they are in the same thread typing a reply, that it kills the ability to send. No matter if I paste into new, it won't send and neither will stock once this happens. I have to restart my phone. (S2, running stock 4.1.2) Edit: it's not just when a message comes through mid typing. It'll just stop sending and I have to restart. Soon as I hit send, I get a red cross.

Like the app overall, but this means I can't use it for long without a restart.

Not sure if suggestions are welcome on the design, but it'd be good to see the conversation page cleaned up. So the setting and new conservation moved to top line (where Ninja is). The recommend moved to the setting menu and maybe an option to hide the chat heads selection pane? I tend to just leave it on show for all.

Good to see how much this app has come on, cheers for the hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] z-phoria:
Encryption not working?

I've tried setting a key for a contact which dont have your app installed, and sent him SMS with padlock on and off, but with no effect. He got the SMS unencrypted in plain text either way.

Im using Samsung Galaxy S4 (stock, unrooted) with android 4.3.

Not working or do i need to change something? (Cant find anything in settings)

Using paid version 1.92.
[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
What happened to encryption?
[Android Apps and Games] jamesmuch:
Mms not sending

I'm trying to send a pic to a friend using ninja SMS and it keeps asking for APN info. How do I fix this issue??

I'm on a sprint gs4 running the triforce rom....
[Android Apps and Games] typedink:
Just found this app, I was tired of Go SMS and didn't like hangouts as sms or the default messaging app. I really like the pop out feature, but I wish the main app could also change themes instead of being green all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Just added the option to theme the app yesterday, we started by adding dark theme, more coming.
[Android Apps and Games] landale:
It's been a few weeks since I have used Ninja SMS but has something changed in how messages are sent? In previous versions messages sent using Ninja SMS would show up in MightyText which I use all the time. Now only messages I receive show up in MightyText. Perhaps there is some sort of encryption going on when messages are sending which prevents MightyText from picking them up? Even messages I send using MightyText show up in Ninja SMS so it appears to just be how Ninja SMS sends messages. Anyway if that's the case it would be nice to have the option of going back to the old method to restore this functionality. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
+1, same problem/request.

Also, In bad reception areas, I sometimes have messages that fail to send. I know this is not Ninja's fault, however, I get no notification of the failure. So, hours after I've expected a response from someone, I look to find the message never even sent. Can you please consider adding a failure notification (separate, user-selectable sound) ASAP? Thanks!

Android 4.4.2, Ninja set as SMS default.
[Android Apps and Games] Salviikiddd:
Any way to prevent the keyboard from disappearing when a new SMS comes in? I'm always in the middle of typing and then a new message comes in, keyboard disappears and I end up opening an app. Kind of annoying. Anybody know how to stop this?
[Android Apps and Games] revcrpb:
Is there a way to have the pop-up come up as full screen automatically? TIA.
[Android Apps and Games] Esoth:
Hi,

I've been having this odd problem for a few months now, where none of the (facebook) contact photos show up in the chat heads. In the app itself, none of the pictures show up in the left menu (message list), even though they show up fine when you scroll through the right menu (contact list). Any ideas on why this is?

Cheers.

EDIT: I've noticed that photos that you manually assign or from Google+ will show up, but not Facebook photos. I'm using an HTC One with Sense 5.5

EDIT 2: Never mind, I updated my phone's ROM and now it works. I guess it was never the app's fault to begin with! Sorry and thanks for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] landale:
I can confirm that latest update fixes the mighty text issue. Thanks for the quick fix.

Now that that's fixed I would love to see a feature where all chat heads can be closed at once from the notification tray. Think something like this could happen in a future update?
[Android Apps and Games] esincho:
It would be great if the bubble wasn't so easily moved. Like, long press for a second, then u can move it to where u want it to be
[Android Apps and Games] ClassySandwiches7:
Seems like a great idea...

I can't say much because I cant get it to work. I think the reason is that I've deleted the stock messaging app on my s4. So it would be great if this could work with hangouts since that is my messaging app

[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:

[Android Apps and Games] TuRDMaN:
Just wondering if it is possible to make the chat heads more like the FB Messenger chat heads, where they all stack on top of each other, then expand out when you tap on them (obviously not for your entire contact list, just for a few selected contacts). That functionality would make this app indispensable for me! I love the chat heads, but hate having so many separate icons all over my screen all the time.

(Sorry if this has been requested before, I tried searching back through the thread but didn't see anything about this)
[Android Apps and Games] roswell782:
Hi, I have just installed it, everything seems good so far.

For those who have a Galaxy Gear, Gear Manager says you won't receive notification for sms if you don't use native app but it's not true, you will receive your sms notifications if you use Ninja SMS ! ;)

How did you get the contact pics to show again? Mine haven't been showing on ninja since jb or kit Kat on my phone. Last time it showed for ninja was a while back when I was on ics. Contact pics still show up in stock messaging app tho. I'm using Facebook app to sync contact pics like I always have.
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I used the app sync.ME and it brought my contact images back.

Nice update. It would be nice to be able to preview the animated heads before buying. So we can see the animation
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
oh, i guess the update just hit. well, there ya go XD

will suggest it
[Android Apps and Games] roswell782:
Very nice update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] xhozt:
Why in the heck did they change the name :(... Why does this seem fishy to me?
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
Could be a couple reasons. HoverChat sort of lets new users know the biggest feature of the app, in the title. They plan to potentially add facebook chat, maybe more, so having "SMS" in the name becomes no longer accurate. Apps sometime just rebrand. Android Market became Google Play, Touiteur become Plume for Twitter. Just a dev decision ;)
[Android Apps and Games] xhozt:
Mayhaps... But. Booooo. As a app name ninja sms was cool.. :(.. And in app purchases... Bad direction
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Love the double tap to expand floating chat.
[Android Apps and Games] Dri94:
It's in app for only special themes and heads. Or you can simply invite 3 ppl on fb and get it free

To the devs: do you plan on releasing anything so we can create themes?
[Android Apps and Games] Master Gowa:
[MENTION=4931670]MostafaGazar[/MENTION] love the new changes. So much better without that ugly bar on the left side of the window. :)

Could we get a toggle to make the heads transparent too (like they used to be if the message was made transparent)? Perhaps a separate transparency slider? One for head and one for message body?
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
I think that is a bug. Mine opens with one-click 99% of the time. Randomly needs two. I've reported the bug to the dev. Maybe he'll make it into an option.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
Really glad you liking this update. We could restore the behavior back in which transparency would apply to both the popup and the head.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
When you have the popup opened you can double tap on the bar to expand the popup to take the full screen.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
We are working on that right now actually
[Android Apps and Games] xhozt:
I actualy miss the bar .. but im getting used to it .
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
I think you will like the new design more over time, by this approach we wanted to make the popup feel lighter without reducing its size.
[Android Apps and Games] roswell782:

Sorry to bring this up again, but I never got a reply. Is this possible? Impossible? Not something that would be considered?

And I'm loving the new update!
[Android Apps and Games] ahrion:
Love the new looks. There's a few recommendations I think the app would benefit from. 1. Performance (still a bit laggy). 2. Auto hide/dock chat heads (sorta like Halo). 3. Emoji improvements (maybe like Sliding Emoji Keyboard with the Android G+ native emojis). Other than those three things I absolutely love the app!

When reporting errors, always try to give more information such as phone model, operating system version, if youre on a custom ROM, etc. I do know you're not the only person with this error. [MENTION=4931670]MostafaGazar[/MENTION] is likely aware of it and trying to fix :)

[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
We are just trying to improve the overall experience for everyone and attracting some new users, at some point in the future (probably not soon to be frank) we might add custom notification icon support.
[Android Apps and Games] MostafaGazar:
There is an option under Notifications settings called "Wake Screen", if you have no security set on your device I would assume HoverChat should work as you mentioned.
