I liked it except for the theme. I've since flashed to a custom rom and it's an older messaging app but looks better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I like this app but it doesn't sync Facebook profile pictures like the Samsung app does (a deal breaker cause the photos help tell me I'm actually texting the right person) throughout, and it sometimes sends double messages (it shows up on your end but not the receiving end) which is no big deal. My favorite and most useful feature of this app is the ability to send messages over Wifi. Sending on the computer/tablet is flawed as it doesn't contact sync properly with your phone's contacts, leaving only phone numbers.

If the profile picture sync were fixed, I'd most likely switch over.

Anyone using the desktop app for Windows 8.1?

Works great on my mac, but will not sync on windows...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bsweetness:
I haven't had any issues with it on Windows 8.1 (Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro). Syncs just fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mbaran:
Strange... I have two Windows 8.1 Enterprise machines (one is a VM, one physical) and neither of them will sync any messages. Just keeps spinning and says "No conversation yet"

OS X and iPad clients both work fine. I wonder if corporate account support has not been rolled out yet to the PC client?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Mr. Boom:
I'm having an odd issue with messages+ that I cannot figure out. Have done multiple wipes of the app to no avail. When a message comes in, and I hit view conversation in the popup, I cannot back out of the app from there. I have to force close it to be able to use it again. It only happens when I hit the view conversation button on popup. Any other way works fine.

Anyone else see this issue?

Edit: I have tried two other sms apps and they both do it. However, the stock Samsung app does not. I'm worried that this has been caused by flashing kernels during the root process.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AKMacAddict:
Glad I found this thread. I have used Go SMS Pro for years, and Handcent before that... But, now I've only been using this app for a couple of weeks. Haven't even loaded another messaging app since I got my Developer Edition.

Found the basic customizations, but learned a lot more from snippets in this thread. I didn't realize sending messages was via WiFi or cellular! Dug in to the Settings and sure enough, there is even an option (not checked by default) that will indicate which method is being used. Also, didn't know you could access your messages via the web.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jejb:
Tried the app for a couple of days, and liked it. But it's lacking two important functions for me, so I'm going back the stock android message app. One issue is it does use the custom notification sounds I have setup for some of my Contacts. Same notification tone for everyone, it seems.

Second is no zooming the font size in and out with the volume button. That is an extremely helpful function for me when I don't have my reading glasses handy.

Fantastic!!! I don't know why I thought you had to have the verizon messages+ app running on your phone for it to work on your ipad. Thanks for that eyeopener! I love that I can still use my gear 2 to its full extent and have my ipad for responding to texts!

Anyone having problems with the new Messages+ app receiving messages but not sending? Have no clue why it's doing this but, the old stock messaging program works fine. On a rooted Verizon S5 with the latest updates.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xami:
Hello, I live in Pakistan and we can't buy from Google Play here yet so I have to buy a new Nexus 5 from a shop most probably. We all know that after short period of nexus 5 release Google announced some refinements to the speaker grill and earpiece I guess and some other which I don't remember now.

As I wanna be sure that I buy the right Nexus 5 which is refined one so I would like to know the method to identify from the box that wether the nexus box I'm holding is refined or it's an old unit. a serial code or something that'd tell...

Thanks in advance, I plan to buy it in 2 weeks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There are no refinements. The article that "announced" it, didn't have its facts straight.

Please ask questions in q&a not general
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Oh so there was never a model released with bigger speaker/mic grills? Interesting!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Exactly. Some just have bigger holes due to "manufacturing tolerances ". A brand new nexus built this month could have either size.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho693:
[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] I think your incorrect my friend, take a look here...

http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/12/13/n...ogle-brings-larger-speaker-holes-and-buttons/

My 1 month old n5 is the "refined version" my n5 is different from my 9 month old. Volume buttons are much better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That is definitely one of the "bullsh*t" articles.

I wrote an entire thread about it.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/please-stop-talking-hardware-versions-t2597276

Some DO have big holes. Some DO have small holes. There is no version. There is no serial number identifier. Its just different machines calibrated differently that produce nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho693:
Ok yeah never thought about the number difference. But on my newer n5 everything is much more refined then the older one lol which is weird
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Refined would be the wrong word. Different is a better word ;)

Someone else can buy a Nexus made yesterday and it could have small holes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xami:
[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] you're totally wrong,

http://www.gsmarena.com/googles_nexus_5_gets_a_hardware_refresh-news-7363.php

http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/13/google-nexus-5-improved-speaker-and-buttons/

Tell me Engadget is wrong. Call Sprint or AT&T and you will know that they even replaced in the beginning
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm 100% correct..

One guy got nexus with bigger holes in November last year. He took a photo of the October phone and the November phone and wrote a blog article. From them on, every tech site reposted the same (and completely incorrect ) blog post.. So yes gsm arena are wrong. Engadget are wrong and if AT&T or sprint based their information on the same blog post,they too ARE WRONG

Every link that everyone posts trying to say I am wrong always has the EXACT same photo from the exact same Incorrect blog post. There are NO REVISIONS. There are NO REVISED SPEAKER HOLES. You can still buy a nexus 5 manufactured yesterday with small holes and rattling buttons. Thats because there are NO REVISIONS.

So just in case this has not cleared things up enough for you, there is NO WAY to tell how big the speaker holes will be from outside of the box. Thats because they are not linked to any serial number or any other information on the outside of the box. Some have big some have little and that's just the way it is.

Its not even like they make things louder or anything. Its completely cosmetic.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamel_tza:
I'm afraid [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] is correct, [MENTION=4220322]Xami[/MENTION] .

Not long after the Nexus 5 came out there was a HUGE buzz started here on XDA about rev #s in the bootloader. Though it wasn't a big deal, the whole thing was hyped up and people started to speculate the meaning of this. Members started correlating the Rev#'s with these bigger speaker grill holes and started making up their own conclusions about the meaning of the whole thing.

As it turns out, many cases were found among members who had the same revision numbers and slightly different button flushness and different speaker hole styles. The whole thing proved to be nothing more than hysteria as the volume issue was fixed through one of the 4.4 updates - so no matter the size of the grill of your speakers, your volume will be louder.

To my knowledge there has been no official difference in the performance of either model in any domain. As was said earlier, these minute differences are the result of manufacturing tolerances.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
One rumour 8 months ago and we're all still wasting time talking about it. If learned one thing, its that none of the tech news sites do any of their own research and perpetuate lies and misconceptions as news worthy truth.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I'm not sure what's worse, the blatant re-posting of false information that was done by supposedly legitimate news sources, or the fact that people believe the ever so slightly bigger speaker holes would sound significantly different. Even in the infamous comparison pictures you'd be hard pressed to notice any difference without someone pointing it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I bought mine 6 months ago and it has medium sized speaker holes. A friends two day old one has small holes. It hardly makes a difference when I compared mine with his.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xami:
Okay, let's cut to the chase here. Just tell me which code tells the date that the unit is manafactured on

I'm sorry If I said anything wrong.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
What they were trying to tell you is the date of manufacturer has no correspondence to the type of phone you receive, as there was no revision or "refinement" as you call it.

That being said you can figure out which month, year, and country each phone was manufactured in by its serial number.

I don't have a XGo but I can try to help.

Did you have twrp recovery before this rom? because cwm backups aren't compatible with twrp.

In twrp to istall from external sd you must click in the top right under "select zip to install". There you can select the storage and should be able to view your external sd and flash the rom.

Let me know if it helped
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tondolus:
But what build are you trying to flash? Because from build 3 there should be twrp. If you are in cwm when you click install zip, there should be "install zip from external sd card"

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
Hi,

After much deliberation I finally bought a Z2 (sim free; UK). And am extremely pleased with it :)

Until I've realised much to my irritation several of the photographs on the phone have become corrupt. Symptom is a gray bar on the photograph and the applications fail to load it.

Note the camera takes the photo fine - luckily on one of them, dropbox managed to mirror the photo before it became corrupt (and for another I sent it via MMS). Which means its not the camera. I have only accessed them via the default Album app and have not installed much software on the phone.

I have tried asking Sony support and they suggested doing a factory reset :(

Note I am using a SD card and asking for the photos to be stored there. The card is mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDXC/Lexar/Lexar-64GB-High-Performance-Micro-SDXC-UHS-I-Card-300x---45MB_s

Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated. I was not keen on doing a full reset .... loosing my entire setup to replace the software with the same software (?!) .... I have only had the phone a few weeks.

Thanks!

Nick
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I think a factory reset may do the job, but try via Flashtool or the repair device in Sony PC companion (both of these will wipe your internal storage)

And if it still persists , backup your data on your internal and Sd and format both within the phone
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
If its not a stupid question (!) ..... why would factory reset do any good... which as I understand will simply restore the device back to the software it had a few weeks ago?

Any good recommendations for backup software? ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Sometimes transfering files to a device can corrupt in your process, even factory resetting

The ratio to it corrupting to not is negative so your better off factory resetting in such a situation

And for backing up i usualy just copy all of my files to a usb or a computer ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
Thanks for the reply.

I am sorry but I don't quite follow your comments regarding 'transfer/ratio'.

Surely, any software update should do a MD5 style verification check? The awkward thing is establishing whether its software or hardware (more likely the former) and which component might be causing it e.g. album app. Which I notice has just had an update released by sony....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
It should but ive never seen it do,

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
You mean Nexus/Xperia often get corruption ? Really ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
From experiance and it only ever happens when transfering files

Rarely have file just become corrupt from sitting in my storage, ive only ever had when bugs with storage from formatting storage incorrectly
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
Well, after a taking quite a few more photographs and movies suddenly one more has become corrupt :( Very strange how sporadic it is.

When I last checked I am not seeing the update for the latest firmware (17.1.2.A.0.314?) .... maybe that would help solve it.

I will also try to RMA the Lexar memory card and format the new one in the camera.

SD Card problem....

......have had something like this many times before with SD Cards; not just with phones but cameras as well.

I noticed that quality of SD Cards has decreased over the last year; especially Micro SD Cards.

Also the fact that Google officially had removed support for SD Cards doesn't help that matter at all.

However check this write up here:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
Ok as a follow up which I hope might be helpful / of interest.

In the end I hard reset the phone and replaced the SD Card with an RMA from Lexar.

For a while (until last week) it was all working fine - no corruption (phew) and I had only lost a couple of photographs previously as Dropbox managed to sync most of them in time. So, last week, the Z2 started reporting the card was damaged and started unmounting the card. I tried the card in a Windows machine (and managed to recover the data) but then it refused to mount in my Z2, my wife's Galaxy S3, my Linux laptop and finally my Windows box could no longer read it. One dead card I presume.

After that I have gone with a Sandisk Extreme and I hope that to be more reliable than Lexar :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_skeleton:
I'm gonna dig this out since I've also been having this issue on my Z2 lately, and I also have the Lexar memory card (32G). How is your Sandisk? Is it working correctly? I've gone to the shop, exchanged my corrupt card for a new one. And just today, poof, one of my photos is now corrupt. On the new card...

Did it stop happening with the other brand?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick0x:
Hi!

So far (I'm going to regret saying this .... ;) ) the SanDisk has been working fine. For some reason Lexar just doesn't seem to work very well when I am storing photos/music on the card.
