Chathead Replies & Swiftkey

Hi Kajo, I am so impressed with YAATA having used all the major SMS apps over the years, YAATA leaves them all in the dust, it's fantastic. After playing with it for about 20 minutes I knew I had to donate for the premium features.

I switched from an Galaxy S4 4.4.3 to an S5 6.0.1 about 2 weeks ago and noticed that I can't swipe in the Chathead floating window reply using Swiftkey (6.4.2.58 14/09/16), nor can I long-press any key to bring up alternatives. Swiftkey behaves normally in conversation replies.

If I switch to the Samsung keyboard there's no problem swiping in the Chathead.

Just curious if I should check with Swiftkey (they've been helpful in the past but I don't know if they'll acknowledge this one), if this was something that has happened in a recent YAATA update, or I've missed a crucial setting somewhere. I've tried a force close all chatheads, and the symptom persists after restarting the phone.

Can any replicate this or is it just my setup?

GUI is good. easy to use
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
I wish, I asked for that ages ago and got shouted down by a bunch of people on here for it... kajozord never answered though.
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
I noticed that when you have a conversation open, and then close your display, if a new sms is sent by that person, it doesnt trigger the notification sound. Any One encounter this too? Have been having this issue for a long time already where the sms doesnt trigger a sound, and I think it happens in this case.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
No notification sound happened to me but didn't find out why and if it was more a phone or app bug. Too rare to BUG me.

Chathead Replies & Swiftkey in Lockscreen

update - this phenomenon seems to happen only on the lockscreen. If the Chathead floating window appears in an app, I can swipe normally on Swiftkey so it's probably not a YAATA issue.

Anyone care to confirm this?
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
Is there a way to change the conversation list date format? I can change the time stamp format, but I can't figure out how to change the list date. Any help would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] piersplowman:
Look and Feel --> Conversation List --> Date Format
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
That changes the time stamp, but not that list date. I've attached a image showing what I mean. I can change the format of the date outlined in yellow, but not the date outlined in red.
[Android Apps and Games] piersplowman:
Ah okay, if you go to Look and Feel --> Conversation (not List) --> Date Format the top two settings impact those two fields
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
That is changing the dates in the conversation itself. I'm looking to change the date on the conversation list that separates conversations. So the image I sent showed I had 3 conversations "Yesterday, 29 September", and 1 conversation "This Week". I want it to say I had 3 conversations "Yesterday, September 29". I tried all the Date Format settings in Conversation List and Conversation, but nothing. I must be missing something.
[Android Apps and Games] piersplowman:
Sorry, I misread the screenshot you posted. Sorry for the misdirection. I think the conversation list lacks a second date stamp format setting as was added for the Conversation List settings
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
No worries! I appreciate the quick responses. This isn't a deal breaker by any means. I just never see the date written that way, so having all the other dates show Month then Day and that one spot it shows Day then Month makes me feel like I'm so close in getting it perfect!

Thanks again though! Hopefully we can change it in future updates.

Delete GIF ?

Is it me ? i cannot delete messages. Also very inconsistent in handling GIF these files, sometimes they do not animate. Am i missing something ?
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
No one else encounters this, what may be causing this?
[Android Apps and Games] hilla_killa:
Hows this working with project fi mms? With textra i would send pictures and the person never received nothing. Google messenger works perfectly. I need a reliable app that will always send my pics. I think the other received it but they got nothing and gets me in trouble! So is it reliable sending mms on fi? Everytime?!?!
[Android Apps and Games] mapagm:
How can i remove Friends, Family, Coworkers and ICE from "add contact" list when i create new message? I don't want/need those groups.

How can u live without all this things/options... Ok ok, I'm out...
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I just got a Galaxy S7 and am using it on T-Mobile with Wi-Fi calling enable.

Are there any specific settings I should be using in yaata to ensure my text and mms messages are sent and received using Wi-Fi calling that's built into the phone?

Does the mms behavior setting of system vs legacy in the mms menu matter? Anything else to make this work right?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I never had an issue with SMS but could never get MMS to work when wifi calling was turned on. Tried all sorts of combinations...posted to this forum but never got a reply. Note 5. Only app that worked consistently for me was Textra.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I actually tested this out today during a flight and all worked great. I had MMS set to system and didn't have any of the wifi options checked off. Both SMS and MMS sent and received fine over wifi as long as wifi calling as active on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] shagy38:
Is there a setting. For the hidden conversation. When pressing on the plus button to set how long you press the button before the hidden conversation comes up
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I probably don't fully what's going on with wifi calling and SMS/MMS but are you saying that while the phone was in airplane mode, you only had a wifi connection and it sent an SMS and an MMS (picture I presume or group message?)
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Yes, that's exactly it. I think i tried sms and both a group message and picture. I was on a plane, so absolutely certain there was no other connection.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Interesting. I always thought that SMS/MMS required a cellular connection. That wifi calling only supported voice.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
No, T-Mobile wifi calling definitely does SMS and MMS as well. Pretty cool. The rest of my family has iPhones and I know it's been working for those for a while.

I have a US unlocked Galaxy S7, so I wasn't sure that once I put in a T-Mobile SIM that wifi calling would work just as it does including SMS and MMS on the T-Mobile branded phone, but it does.

Texting in a plane is pretty nice!

Suggestion

Chat window

Show buttons above text editor line, not below.

Or have an option in settings to do both
[Android Apps and Games] yeye.phone:
Hello,

I have a problem, i can't send mms since my phone update to MM.
[Android Apps and Games] teh roxxorz:
No issues with MMS on project fi here. If you have issues, I'd recommend going into the mms settings and try changing the handling to system, from legacy.

¿Bug Report?

I've been using YAATA on a Nexus 5 and always kept all volumes on max because of the it's speakers. Now upgrading to the Nexus 6P, I need to keep the media volume low while keeping notification volume at max for my work.

YAATA seems to be sending notification sounds through the Media audio channel. Shouldn't the sound be going through the notification volume channel instead?

[Android Apps and Games] scoonie:
Is this app no longer get updated?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Yes it is still active. Just not as many updates as has been usual over the past year but I think that represents the maturity level of the app and the fact that the dev is not dedicated full time.
[Android Apps and Games] cdljl2005:
I want to help translating it into Chinese, is it ok?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
As you have already noticed, my activity in this forum has declined. There's a reason. For over two years (almost three if we count ALPHA / BETA stage) I developed actively YAATA SMS. Due to the fact that the development of the application was not profitable enough that it could have been my main source of income, in addition to developing applications I also had a regular job. In general, so for over two years I worked two jobs (my regular work and YAATA). In the long run, it is neither healthy nor comfortable nor acceptable by my family. For this reason, I had to take a break from YAATA.

Developing YAATA is harder work than I thought. All this time I had to deal with things that should normally take two or three people (developing, user support, marketing), I was also the developer and Product Owner. To put it briefly and bluntly at a certain point I felt exhausted, so I had to rest.
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
No worries, man. You do what you gotta do. Won't hear me complaining. YAATA is already awesome. Take your time.
[Android Apps and Games] tdusen:
That's all totally understandable, but unless I missed it, you didn't say if you're still on a break or are you back to working 2 jobs? Of course either answer is fine but your statement left me wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] dem389:
Is there any way to get quick replies for use with Android Wear. As in, Ok... Thanks... Yes.... No.
[Android Apps and Games] chazall1:
Great job with the best ssm apk out their. I have been using YAATA from the begging of your development. I will miss you , but I have had very little issues with YAATA and will continue to have it as my default. Family and paying the bills take priority to development. Your skills are appreciated

Outstanding Job!!!!

Thank You
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
if I remember well, my application is not available in China, because Google does not publish apps with in-app purchasment on markets where you can't purchase apps, so how users from China could download my app:]?
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Nice to hear from you again, kajozord. Kudos on a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] GiSS88:
Before I pay for the premium app, for group message notifications will I hear the individual contact notification or does it notify you by group? I would much prefer to know WHO texted me as opposed to which group.

EDIT: Welp, bought it and tested myself and it doesn't work. Group messages only use the default notification sound, unless I'm missing something. Any insight anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] ghosty7:
Gif handling ?

Not sure if it is a setting or the app. I can receive gif files, but when i attach a gif and send, it sends it as a jpeg. am i missing something ?

Just worked out that you need to select add gif from the menu. If you use the picture attach button, it converts to jpeg.

From a user perspective i think this is wrong, when you attach a picture the format should not matter.
[Android Apps and Games] GiSS88:
Welp, bought it and tested myself and it doesn't work. Group messages only use the default notification sound, unless I'm missing something. Any insight anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] kkuhle:
I agree with this. I believe it would be nice for the same circumstances that [MENTION=3806748]jack_frost[/MENTION] suggested. Yaata is super awesome regardless. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
This would be a good idea.

and you'll be glad you contributed. It's a great app with a dev that listens and from what I understand, a lot of good things to come.
[Android Apps and Games] cdljl2005:
Well, I don't quite read what that smiley means, but there are two things I want to talk about.

One is, users preferring Chinese translation does not necessarily mean it was in China that they download the app. Having one more language supported does not make an app less competitive.

The other is, where there is a jail, there is a break. If there is a handy paid app, we have MANY ways to download it and are more than happy to pay for it.

If you think the translation stuff pointless, forget about it then.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I have a Galaxy S7 and I'm using Wi-Fi calling, so sms is sent over Wi-Fi. I can put the phone in airplane mode, then just turn on Wi-Fi as a test and both sms and mms work. That appears to be working fine for the most part, but every once in a while yaata tells me there's an error sending an sms and puts a red ! next to the message. But, the message DID get received by the other party.

Is there any way to figure out what's going on with that and why yaata thinks it's not being sent?

It happens too infrequently to really switch to another text app and see if it happens with that one. Don't want to give up yaata for that long. But, if it doesn't work right, I don't really know if my message went through or not unless i resend it and then the person may get it twice.

I know development may have ceased here for a while, but still figured I'd post.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
This is already available, it's just a bit un-intuitive.

hamburger > Other > Templates.

Create the quick replies there and they will be available below the "reply" and "emoji" prompts on the watch notification.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Same thing just happened on stock messenger so obviously nothing to do with yaata then.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Is there a way to change the color of the incoming message animation? Also is there a way to space out the plus sign beside where you type so it's not so close? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BogioQ:
Hello, I use YAATA premium from some time, and it's really great app. There is however one thing I'd like you guys to improve. In my dual-sim phone I have private number, and business one. It's really annoying when I send business message from my private phone. I know it's possible to chose, but would be much more comfortable to have two separate sending buttons instead of changing every time. Would be grateful for this feature - could be as an option.

Really great app, my daily sms/mms drive! Could you add the possibility to choose the green aosp sms icon? Or maybe the selector for custom colour?

Thank you. My best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Most launchers has possibility to change icon.

This icon is temporary and will be changed.
[Android Apps and Games] yin67:
Yes you're right, I have to change my launcher. Thanks for the support.
[Android Apps and Games] rastigo:

Lol. I used this icon in first non public releases. This icon is too dark.
[Android Apps and Games] Zisworg:

[Android Apps and Games] tiniwings:
Please add... Option to view all the favorite messages at one place.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
It will be added, but I do not promise when.
[Android Apps and Games] goldfndr:
That worked well, no more Page Plus Balance entry!

A minor request: I'm wondering if you could change it so that the number appears as "7243" (like in the People app and stock Messaging) instead of "724-3", or is there already a method to adjust it? I have messages from others that don't have hyphens (e.g. 6245 [MAIL] from vtext.com for a forwarded Gmail, 71098 from Page Plus) -- they don't have associated contact entries, maybe that's why.
[Android Apps and Games] f2bacon:
Your app is very well designed, and I love all the features. Whenever you do release, I definitely wouldn't mind doing a paid option. The only things I could want from the app that aren't already provided are the option to remove the dates on list view, I know they're sorted by date, I don't need the dates displayed in between conversations. Themes could be a little more extensive, I'd like to be able to customize a little beyond "light / dark / black"

The popup is great, coming from go sms and smitten, yours feels very fluid. It really feels like more than yet another texting app.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Check settings, there is possibility to disable date headers.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
Xposed and no problems :) I even disabled undo function.
[Android Apps and Games] shoeprano27:
Xposed? What mod did you install?

Love this app, but MMS sent to me can't be downloaded, no matter what options I try. I'm on T-Mobile..
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Email me yaata.log.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
My own, I write them. It's not a separate mod for this app only, I make many modifications to suit my needs, not sure if it will be useful for everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] mnhs1010:

[Android Apps and Games] shoeprano27:
So I took it up when T-Mobile before burdening you with this problem, just so you have time to work k other things, like implementing message sent notifications, amongst other users request. Tmobike only allows 1 mb pic messages to be sent. Anything higher and it just won't send. I had it under no limit so I brought it down a notch to 1mb. All is well now. ?
[Android Apps and Games] beat87:
The application consumes too much RAM.

What could be the reason?
[Android Apps and Games] jten9:
Looks strange to me. Admittedly I don't really watch the ram usage of this app, but I've checked it a few times just now, and it is sitting at only ~40mb ram usage.

Maybe clear cache etc?

Edit: just checked again and it's now using less than 20 mb.

This SMS/MMS app is by far the deepest, most customizable, and hands down best messaging app I've ever used. I spent an entire evening customizing this app. Dev, this is EXCELLENT work. I even donated to the cause. This is and will be my forever messaging app regardless of whichever custom ROM I flash. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Totally agree. Amazed that there aren't even more downloads of this app. I think the dev has some upcoming updates that may generate more activity for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] zeer:
more settings needed )

Hi all! Got premium, thinking there should be font setting for expanded unread preview in conversation list (namely i want to change font type and color for unread messages only).

But. No setting.

Is it me lost in settings or this setting isn't there by design?

Maybe developer could add these then?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
If you're just wanting there to be emphasis on unread messages in the conversation list there is the option to BOLD the contact name for unread messages - Look and Feel->Conversation List->Contact Name->Bold if Unread.
[Android Apps and Games] zeer:
No, contact i don't want. I have too many of em to worry who it is :)

I just want bold the unread message TEXT (in preview) to know that message is new and hasn't been opened. Sort of like in outlook desktop...
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Sorry man. I don't get it. Bolding the contact name does the same thing, right? Draws attention to unopened texts.
[Android Apps and Games] zeer:
No, you are wrong. As all people are quite different in behavior and thinking techniques, it does matter. It's like having +1 lens correction in glasses instead of +1 boob size of your gf :)

More options included will not cause harm to anyone - infact that is why all people here support developer.
[Android Apps and Games] dahaterhurter:
Where did you hear that information from?
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I didn't get that impression either. Sounded to me like development has ceased, at least for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] Marsou77:
Will it be possible to add contact picture at the top of the conversation (in the title bar) like Textra ?

Just bought the full version, it's a really great app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Hi, could somebody please tell me how to purchase the "full" or "premium" version, mentioned in the last posts?

I only used the "donate" menu item in the app. But I can't see a premium or full version with more features.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
If you donated you can use premium features. If them doesn't work, restart phone and them go to settings / advanced and tap recheck donation status.

Not true, YAATA is still developed.

It's clearly impossible to me to be so active here or others forums. Day has only 24 hours and I'm only one, so forgive me if I sometimes don't reply on "for one man useful feature request"?.

Backlog is full, so if someone posts feature request it is 90% certain that it is in backlog. So please be patient.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Fully understood and appreciate the app and any effort you do put into it, but it's certainly fair to say that the app doesn't appear to be getting as much attention as it used to. Not questioning how you use your time though.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Why this happen? Because it is not possible to live so on the long run.

Dozen of emails and posts to response, developing, family, work, and what left? 4-6 horus for sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] tdusen:
Any thought of open sourcing as one way to get some help?
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I'm all for continued development but it's not like this app is lacking in features already.
[Android Apps and Games] kost7:
Totally agree. This is by far the best SMS app I have ever used.

Even if it were abandoned (thankfully it is not) it would take some time until it became obsolete.

Thank you kajozord :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jhadsfi:
Hi. I wanted to ask what do the '…' and the check mark symbol next to the messages in the conversation list and conversations represent. They seem to have appeared after the recent update but I can't understand their purpose. Could someone guide me please? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Three dots - sending is pending.

Checkmark - message successfully sent.

Double checkmark - message is delivered (if delivery option is enabled and supported by carrier.)﻿

No icon, means last message is incoming message.﻿

[MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] ive noticed recently that when i block a number in YAATA, the text still shows up in the default google "messenger" app. Can you have YAATA completely delete texts on a system level from blocked senders?
[Android Apps and Games] Vvh:
What about an exclamation mark inside of a circle on the conversation list screen? (!)

And also, the app lags a bit when sending a message? Would it be because I've got too many stored messages? Is there anything I can do without deleting my message history?
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Its cool [MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION]. Just want to give a headsup that i still keep getting issues where incoming messages dont make a sound (so sometimes miss the message). I noticed that it happens sometimes when a conversation is open, but recently even when not. Hope you could look into it, as ive had it for a long time already. Thanks.
