Awesome app

From someone who hates Google Hangouts, thank you for this awesome app! :good: :good: :good:

Feature request: Being able to delete a message from the notification popup dialog.

Reason: A lot of online services use two factor authentication that send you the authentication code via SMS. These messages clutter the SMS inbox and it would be nice to be able to delete the messages directly from the SMS popup.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

This is a workaround that will prevent recently-reported occurrences of high battery usage.

I would like to try this app again but do not want to have any concern with wakelocks and high battery use. Will this eliminate the problem? Also, how do I know if my phone requires data be used for MMS? Is it trial and error or is there an easy way to tell? I think mine does require it (Moto X on T-Mobile). Thanks.

Just wanted to add that the app works jut fine for me using Tablet Talk. I have a nexus 4 with 8sms and it works well with my nexus 7. I didn't have to fiddle with any 8sms settings to get it working either.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
Noted. Thank you.

I believe it does.

Trial and error.

If there was an easy way to detect this, my life would be much easier :)

Strange. Are you able to reproduce this reliably? Can you email me with the steps to reproduce it?

I'd like to not clutter up this forum too much.

Strange too. It shouldn't be related. One is mms related, the other is sms related.

Can you please confirm with a bit more testing?

If you change "Enable mms" to "Always" (which is the previous behaviour), does sms transmission report work again?
[Android Apps and Games] SinCityAtNight:
Love the app. Just 2 small (or big, as I'm not a developer and not doing the work) requests. First, when inserting contact info, only the number gets inserted...anyway to include the contact name? And second, any chance of integrating a scheduled message? Those two are the only things keeping me from dumping my stock sms entirely.

Thanks In advance.
[Android Apps and Games] nuxbag:

CM11

Hi, I am using this app in CM11, it does what is should do, however, some improvements would be fine:

- some space between converstion lists

- write sms

- an option to always see all text I am writing - at present, the window can handle only 3 lines, I would like to see all the text. (defy+ with 480x854)

- an option to have focus on SMS text label, not To: window (reason - some people (inc. my wife ) don't like to define the contact first, in case something goes wrong and SMS will be sent with some mistakes)

So the best case scenario would be to have these options:

click on New SMS icon -> focus on SMS label with keyboard active -> write the SMS text -> click on the send icon (replaced by SEND text also optionally) -> select contact -> click on send icon/text again.

[Android Apps and Games] Sparubens:
Maybe a stupid question, but could you make an apk for me with the stock green icon like the stock messaging app from Google? I really dislike the blue icon.. sorry, but it's a great app for sure!!!
[Android Apps and Games] revcrpb:
I believe you can do this already from within the app settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
At the moment, no, you'll have to type it in yourself.

I can add it in at a future time, but since it's a minor change, I consider it low priority.

This one's a bit more work. I've got it added to the "wish-list" for further consideration. Thanks.

Yes, please. Send to the registered email address for 8sms. Thanks.

Cool, no problems.

You're both welcome. Thank you too.

Yes, like [MENTION=4979090]revcrpb[/MENTION] said ... there's a setting "Icon" in the 8sms for this. Near the bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
I'll defer this to when I re-do themeing.

It should actually be 8 lines.

I'm not too convinced on this idea ... it doesn't scale if you have really really long texts.

Not too convinced about this either ... seems to be a chunk of work for very little unconfirmed benefit.

I had a similar problem your wife had when I started using Android ... I kept typing message text into the "To:" window ... and then I learnt my lesson and changed my habits.

Really needs a private box feature! So many apps are lacking this, it's the only reason go sms still has thousands of users. Implementation would make this app a lot better dev! I know it isn't completely secure, but I'm not looking to protect my phone from hackers, just people on my phone
[Android Apps and Games] Sydius08:
I've got a Nexus 5 and couldn't stand the Hangouts SMS/MMS app. Hell I don't even use Google Hangouts xD

I got this app and am loving it so far! Really enjoying all the great customizability! Anyways, something I've noticed. When I get 2 or more photos in an MMS, there's a big play button on the photo. I tap on it, and it plays a "video" and it shows the picture very small, then it moves on to the next one. In the stock Hangouts app, it actually shows both pictures individually, and in full size.

Anyway to fix this? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
Yes, it's a known issue. It's on my to-do list, but not promising when it'll be done.

The technical problem with this is that messages are stored in a system database (ie. "telephony provider"). It's a lot of work to attempt to add pseudo-database columns to a system database (which would be needed to add a private/public flag), especially if the database is not managed by the app ... and a lot of work for less-than-a-lot-of benefits.

Not saying it's impossible, but I have other things to worry about.

It's a "bug" that has recently appeared, possibly related to KitKat (or the KitKat changes I updated into 8sms). It's something I'm looking into.
[Android Apps and Games] Dorismartin:
Ohhh.. Its works nicely. Thank you for this one.
[Android Apps and Games] skupi20:
bengtan

I would ask you again about fonts size in app. Actually for me its too small, also as you can see timestamp is the same size as message.

I know you are going to add theme support with fonts, but i think you should connect font size with system settings, in display settings you can choose font size, with that setting are connected most of fonts in the system and app. So maybe add the same scale for fonts in 8sms as in system. Iam using normal size and in most of fonts are fine for me, also stock message from motorola which based on asop 4.1.2 has good size of message. Its looks like your app doesnt care about preferred font size (scale) in system and use small.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
I asked for a bigger font, too... couple of pages before...

That would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] LuK1337:
Thanks, app works great :3
[Android Apps and Games] Web_E:
Thanks for this beautiful light weight app.

One wish : Security feature

When enabled, opening the application,the application will ask for password / pattern lock code. (If pattern, an option must be added to disable pattern drawing). It should also lock stock sms.

I don't want to have another application just to lock SMS application.

Again, that is just a wish. This is the reason I am still with gosms. :)
[Android Apps and Games] suffer1989:
Hey, quick question. Is there any way to have the Emoji render in the received and sent messages the same way as they are on the Kitkat keyboard, as opposed to the ones present inside of 8sms ? I personally prefer the way kitkats ones look.

Yes, via in app purchase.

I also experienced the problem where the Back button does not exit the app. If I turn off the option to open the app at to conversation list, the Back button does exit the app. When I enable the option, Back does not exit the app.

i couldnt find that option. i just want to change the color schemes. i had an app for messaging which allowed me to edit the colors on the fly. i simply have it saved on my computer as "MMS_black_4.2.2.apk" which i usde on my SGS4 on obviously 4.2.2

[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
Oops, wrong app. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
With Android as it currently is, and the fact that the sms/mms database is managed by the rom, there is no way for a third party app like 8sms to implement this. Android does not allow for it to happen.

If some other apps says they can do this, I think you should be very suspicious of their claims.

I have this noted down to look into ... one day. Thanks.

Currently no, sorry. Themeing will be re-done at some time in the future.

In the 8sms settings, toggle Extra settings » Soft keyboard type. It might indirectly work.
[Android Apps and Games] Web_E:
No its not about locking the database. It is about locking the interface.

Like when I open gosms it asks for security code, but certainly it doesn't lock the sms db. Because if I install 8sms, it can read the the messages.

I am talking about the feature where an app restrict access to the application it self like dropbox, supersu pro pin code.

Restricting access to the app is enough for the normal users.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Where is this setting in 8sms?
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
It doesn't stop an evil user from installing another sms app from the app store, which will then be able to read the messages.

If you reduce the scope to just restricting access to 8sms itself, it's technically possible, but it will be very low priority on my to-do list.

There is none (yet).

I think someone posted in the wrong app thread or something.
[Android Apps and Games] bfc_xxx:
Is it possible to add a feature that could create custom conversations? Many people have 2 or more mobile numbers lets call them A and B and they belong to the same contact in the phonebook. It would be usefull to receive a sms from number A but to reply to the B number automatically in the same conversation window.

Also dual sim feature would be usefull and if you decide to add it, I could test it.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
This is something to think about some time in the future, not now as I have other higher-priority things to do.

See http://8s.ms/dual-sim-support

If you would like to help me when I get around to working on it (one day), can you please send me an email (at the registered developer email address for 8sms)?

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Merinorus:
Hi,

This app is awesome. I searched trought this thread and I didn't see any discussion about the menu bar, in the "incoming messages" view. The only feature I'm missing is the possibility the put this bar [new message | search | menu] at the top. I've joined the difference between 8sms and my stock app (Motorola RAZR i) because it's hard to explain without pictures. I find it more confortable that way because you gain some precious screen space.

Sorry if this already has been discussed :confused:

Have a nice day

font size

Love the app - no issues on my i9300 or i9305 S3.

Only one thing that is limiting it is the ability to change font size (like the stock samsung app).
[Android Apps and Games] Saleh01:
Font Size change-ability

^I second that, I really wish we could change the font size. The Dark theme could use some improvement(like the stock CM theme would be nice), and the popups are a bit intrusive. Perhaps we could have little contact photo heads that popped up and we could hit those to see the message. Just some feedback, I love the app. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Sparubens:
Anyone wants to make apk with hangouts icon?:D
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
8sms uses android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" for the conversation list, and Android is supposed to split or not split the action bar depending if there is enough space or not. If you use 8sms in landscape, you'll see that the action bar is not split.

It would seem that, Android on the Razr i, isn't very good at computing whether there is enough free space for the entire action bar.

I'm a bit undecided about this. I acknowledge it would be nicer to disable the splitting, but I'm a bit concerned there might be some phones with narrow screens which don't have enough horizontal space.

I'll address these when I re-do themeing for 8sms, and try to make font sizes configurable at the same time. Thanks for your patience.

I don't really see a reason for doing this. Why?

Problem with saving MMS attachment

First let me say that this is an excellent app and by far my favorite messaging solution on Android. However, a few days ago (not sure if it was related to an update) the behavior of the app when long pressing on a picture within an MMS changed. The app used to simply asked if I wanted to save the attachment, now it brings up the "Complete action using" menu that lists every sharing option available, but no option to simply save the attachment to the phone. Does anyone know if there was a deliberate change made to the app or how to switch the app back to the old behavior? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DurhamHusker:
Long pressing on the black or blue space next to the image (rather than the image itself) should bring up the save attachment dialog. Which is useful if you're saving multiple images from a single MMS.

Release notes for 8sms 1.20/1.21

Hi,

Sorry, I should have posted about this when I made the release.

In 1.20, I changed the way an mms slideshow is displayed in the message thread screen. Instead of a single play button, each individual slide is displayed with a thumbnail. Pressing on the thumbnail "opens" the attachment in the slide. Long pressing opens the attachment for sharing with other apps.

However, the old behaviours still exist. Just click in the message but not on the image thumbnails ie. click beside the image thumbnails. That will bring up the previous menu with a list of options (including "Save attachment"). If you want to invoke the previous slideshow behaviour, bring up the menu and choose "Play slideshow".

Thanks,

Beng

The app is great, i have a little problem this app is not sorting messages by time/date, they are just random. For example, the message of 24 January is on top while the message i have sent/received right now is at on 4th or 5th spot. I'm using the app in standalone mode.
[Android Apps and Games] bengtan:
Is this happening on the message thread screen or the conversation list screen (ie. the main screen of 8sms)?

Might be a bug with your phone rom not sorting the messages properly by default. I'll have to look into it (but please answer my question above).

"No APN specified on the device" issue

I wanted to share the solution to all guys having the "No APN specified on the device" with latest CM / Kitkat. The solution is really simple, the APN entry MUST have its corresponding MMS entry present, so if you have several APN for ONE MMS entry just delete unused APN to keep only one pair (APN + MMS) for your current mobile network.

Hope this helps

EDIT: in the image in attachment I deleted for example 2 unused APN to keep only one PAIR for bouygues telecom network

Hi [MENTION=5181263]bengtan[/MENTION], thanks for this app :) It works fine on my Xperia Ray - the best and smoothies sms app for me :)

But can I have some requests? I guess it need really dark theme, or theme colors editing option. Maybe personal notification sounds too (setting different sounds for some contacts)... And the third one is new "delete" button (just "x") on the notification (in notification drawer) - next to "mark as read", "reply" and so on. It may be with "yes or not" alert as an option :)

[MENTION=5690310]zappadoc[/MENTION]: Thanks for this. I'll keep it in mind in case it proves useful.

Just wondering ... with this setup (having separate APNs for mms and for mobile internet/broadband), does your phone still require mobile data to be enabled in order to mms to be available?

All three feature requests noted. Other users have asked for them too. It's just a case of finding the time to do them. Thanks.

No worries. Thanks for letting me know.

If you have multiple apps which can view images, normally Android should ask you which one you want to use.

Is it possible you are experiencing this problem ...

Update on blacklist feature for 8sms

If you want to blacklist an existing contact, see http://8s.ms/blacklist-a-contact

Otherwise, read on ...

Cyanogenmod already has this feature, and I've started work on merging from CM into 8sms. Unfortunately, I've found out that CM's blacklist feature is actually implemented in the rom so it's not available on non-CM roms. Once I get the CM merge completed, I'll look into adding blacklisting for non-CM roms.

However, I have a question for you and others ... on CM, the blacklist is implemented in the rom. Are there any other roms out there (ie. Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, etc.) which also have a blacklist feature that 8sms can just hook into? Any one know, please?

I don't really want to be duplicating functionality and adding a blacklist feature into 8sms onto phones which already have a blacklist function implemented by the rom.
[Android Apps and Games] yurividal:
That is true. Samsung has blacklist sms on its default sms app. BUT, since android kitkat only permits ONE app to receive sms, if we chose 8sms as messagig app, samsungs blacklist doesnt work. I believe the same with CM kitkat roms
