The only part of what you said that I agree with is the first one, about time working with YAATA being extremely limited. The rest is pure baloney. Taking a whole 5 minutes to say, "Yes, I know this is an issue, I'm working hard to fix it, I'll let you know when progress has been made," would go a long way towards easing the minds of his loyal users and assuring people on the fence that he's a developer that cares and can be trusted to make and maintain a quality product. He doesn't need to sit here for hours and reply to every single message, because that would take valuable time away from development, but at least say something. These long periods of absolute silence reassure no one. It's all about perception, and as great as YAATA is (aside from these few nagging problems), he's utterly failing the PR part.

Force close with custom ROM Oreo

Hello.

I recently noticed force close of yaata with custom rom of Alexandr 5.9.

(https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-dqd2-devbase-v4-1-multi-csc-safe-t3592914/page108)

I went back to 5.8 with TWRP and all is ok.

Have you noticed that kind of problem?

Thanks.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] justthefacts:
Been using Yaata for a long while and loving it.

One thing that is a big deal to me is in the compose section. there is a visibility of 6 lines only. Would love to see an option to make more visibility. Or this option is somewhere and I'm missing it?

Thank you.

Any known issues with Pixel 2 XL recent Android 9 release? Searching in thread didn't return any hits. I've used this app for over a year or so, paid for Pro, and right after the system update I noticed sms messages status shows a spinning icon like it's still trying to send. However it seems to send as people do respond. On a few occasions it doesn't ever send. This ONLY happens when replying in the notification area. Works fine in the app or in the popup. Just not the quick reply notification feature. Haven't tested chat heads.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
Do we have any idea what causes the MMS issues in Yaata? I haven't found anything else that gives me the options that Yaata does but I have a difficult time recommending it to others in the current state.
[Android Apps and Games] justthefacts:
What is the issue with MMS?
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
Let me just quote the following to answer that question.

Basically, scrolling back through a conversation shows the wrong pictures in the conversation. It seems to be only an issue with Yaata since the stock messaging app displays the conversations correctly.

Chathead Unread not going away

This has been going on since I got my new phone (new phone running Android One, Oreo 8.1; old phone running android 4.4). Opening and closing chatheads are working fine, but the unread count is still there. I can 100% guarantee there are no more unread messages. I even went to settings to mark all messages as read. Worse, the badge shows not the unread count but the count of ALL messages for that particular contact (I have a contact that shows 850 unread messages.). Problem applies to all contacts and conversations.

I hope this report of mine will not get buried and will get the attention of the dev. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Zisworg:
Thanks a lot! Properly working from now on!

Here is another issue / question:

Is it possible to extend the popup height to the max when the keyboard is hidden?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
I'll check it.

Maximize button is covered by name. It will be fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
maybe it's dependant on what settings are enabled? I saw the memory used climb in real-time when I was on m11.8 (from 70ish mb), so I assumed it was a memory leak somewhere and I uninstalled. maybe I'll give it another go with m11.9.1.
[Android Apps and Games] Maaze:
good :)
[Android Apps and Games] dcwiker05:
The ability to copy text messages would be great. Right now I have save the text as a template then copy it that way.
[Android Apps and Games] aamadorj:
Copy function is there. Just tap the message you want and the option to copy the text, among others, will appear.
[Android Apps and Games] dcwiker05:
Ah wow thanks, I'm use to having to long press to copy in which case it's not presented as an option. Never tried the tap that worked.

Is there a way to disable the X right next to the send button? I find myself accidentally hitting that in a hurry instead of send and having to retype the whole message
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
Maybe it has something to do with the available memory. Mine is up to 106MB but I do still have plenty available.
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Could be a rom or device issue.

I am running a stock based rom on my G2. Just checked mine again and it is using 17 mb.

Search function

Hi, I want to know, can you implement a more global search function? As it stands now, the custom filter only searches within a specific thread/conversation, but if you want to search for content across a number of different conversations, you're out of luck.

Keep up the good work! I am still getting a number of force close errors, but they are less frequent. I have enabled the bug reporting, and I hope you are still working on those issues.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Search option will be added later.

Do you have Samsung Galaxy Note 3?

I was actually lookin for this feature too u til I stumbled upon it by accident last night.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
LOL. Long tap is more intuitive than the ordinary single short tap:)? Why does not anyone trying to find out what happens when you touch the bubble. Menu is showed even when you touch near the bubble. I have to add onboarding tutorial.

PS TIP: Long press on send button sends message and close app. In popup window, sends message and popup stays open.

EDIT:

YAATA is small but voracious (has a fast metabolism). From the next version will be on a diet. Will be eat less RAM.

[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
Oh, and after you long-press to send a message on the popup, can you make it mark the message as read so the popup doesnt still have a red #1? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Floating window would be a huge plus. :)

Like Hoverchat. Tap head to open and close chat head without dismissing it.

MMS quality is awful even with quality settings to 100%, where there's no issue at all with any other SMS apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
I set picture size to 2048, picture quality to auto, and mms size limit to 1MB and for the most part mms quality has been good. If you have picture size set to auto (or too low) or the MMS size limit too low, your MMS quality will be degraded quite a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] emwu_:
Can someone confirm the issue is present or not on their device?

Nice

That's a great share...
[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
I've been a YAATA user for years, and I've had a great experience so far. I started experience this bug for the first time today. (If it's useful, I'm running version 1.38.0.19291 R269 180818.1140 on 8.0 on a Galaxy S8.) Messages in a group chat were assigned to the wrong person, and some messages disappeared. It's frustrating, especially since I paid for this app. I love YAATA's features, but it looks like I'll need to find another messaging app until this is resolved.

ETA: I just installed Textra. It will do the the job, but man, I really miss YAATA's features.
[Android Apps and Games] fatjoez:
has this app been hacked? I had a hacker take over my google account and make payments on russian websites.

this is the only app I have which is russian and controls SMS so could bypass 2factor authentication
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
No it hasn't and it would have had to hack your Google account. Which can't be done by this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Varelka:
This is polish application.
[Android Apps and Games] -moos-:
Does the dev of the app did give up?

I liked the app too, but it's maybe time to switch to Textra or Pulse.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Too bad that they not as customizable as YAATA though :/
[Android Apps and Games] tdusen:
Just a reminder that Textra uses double the space. all messages are stored in the normal android db and another copy is stored in Textra's own special db. I'll avoid Textra.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
As far as I am aware the app has not stopped working so not sure where this would come from.
[Android Apps and Games] justthefacts:
All i need in this app is the search to be fixed and an option to have a full page compose area.

Heck i'll even pay again for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
There are some of us who have long standing issues with MMS. At least that's the reason I'm currently back on Textra. But I did get an update via Play Store fairly recently (Aug 18) so I suspect the dev is still actively working on the app.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I can't say I have had a single issue with it. But then I am running an old version as I don't update just to update. My version if over a year old and still works without fail
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
Other than the MMS issue, everything works great. I generally prefer Yaata over every other messaging app and I'm remaining hopeful that the dev will be able to fix that one issue in a future update.
[Android Apps and Games] justthefacts:
Does search work in the version you're using? I remember it used to work at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I just tried it ( I have no use for search) it seems to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Tore Karlsen:
The search problem seems to be device specific. If it was working for you at some point on the same device that you have now, that version should still work.

If the problem is not caused by a system bug, but by other installed apps or other variables, itʼs a little more doubtful.

Group Chat not sending to mobile or default numbers

Hello,

I purchased this app after switching from Verizon to Sprint for the scheduled messaging feature and I love it. However when I try to do the group chat feature it selects numbers for contacts other than their mobile\default number. One contact's was listed as his work number and the other his home number neither of which is listed as default on my phone. I tried to change the members number but when i click on group members it just takes me to their contact info. The group chat was created from the label on each contact 'Fantasy Football'. Is there a way to fix this in the chat or am I going to have to manually create a group chat? If there are any additional details you need please let me know.

I am running on a Google Pixel XL

Android version 9.0

Securtity Patch level 8/5/18

Build # PPPR1.180610.009

Dual sim behavior

Just a little suggestion about dual sim behaviour, it would be nice to display the sim used under the messages in the conversation screen.

And adding an option to check by default the box "Define by default for this conversation" when choosing the sim for a conversation.

One plus 6 notch issues

Hi there,

Running Yaata on the one plus 6. The app seems to leak into the status bar a bit. It doesn't break any functionality but definitely looks strange. Any one else notice this? Anywhere to file bug reports?
[Android Apps and Games] cry8wolf9:
Still having this problem :( I miss so many of the group texts
[Android Apps and Games] gmm6797:
Sorrry if this was covered. I searched and didn't see it

Is there a setting to have all of the display options squeeze in for phones with curved screens?

The stuff on the edges always seems to be hard to tap or use, and I would like to move the edges of the app in some little bit to keep the curved surface unused. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
Is there anyway we can give a hand with the code (github or something) ?

Wanted to help since i think it's faster to implement the code than waiting for a function to be added.

For example:

Ask for a code when accessing the private box, ability to add a contact's name from the main contact app (or entering the number) instead of moving an existing conversion into the private box.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I'm out....after 3 years as my primary app it's time for me to move on. Thanks for all the help and support of the years folks and good luck to all.
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
Mind sharing with us which app you're then gonna use ?
[Android Apps and Games] gmm6797:
Why move on? What are the issues? Why post publicly as well?
[Android Apps and Games] MJPollard:
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were due to the ongoing MMS issues. Honestly, I'd consider doing the same if I could find a messaging app that provides all of the power features that YAATA has (like the ability to hide conversations), but since I have yet to find that particular magical unicorn, I'm willing to ride out the rough patches.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Agreed,

I haven't found another SMS app to rival YAATA.
[Android Apps and Games] gmm6797:
IMHO, the developer has always been responsive and helpful.

Is the MMS issue properly documented and in his hands?
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
I use pulse, it's not as customizable as yaata but it does the job nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I'm just using the stock app since we don't know what is currently happening with the support of YAATA.

Android Messages lacks the possibility to view all attachments for a contact and an auto save feature.

Others lack RCS support.

[Android Apps and Games] Phienyx:
Somewhere, there is a setting to set the initial color of an incoming message until it is viewed, then it changes color to it's final "viewed" color. Where can I change this color setting?

Thank you, in advance for any answers.

Is there any extensive user guide for this app so we know what the different settings do?
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I don't know. The only issue I see is that's is off topic.

Every time devs are asked to implement other app's features, and apps are always compared too.

We are asked to not be to much personally / emotionally involved since they owe us nothing, and we don't do either.

Since we don't see where this project is going and got some critical issues, it's somewhat legit for us to ask questions, without criticising his work which is known to be greatly appreciated.

Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U), paid YAATA.

Having trouble importing vCards texted to me from an iPhone (IOS 12). Getting error 'Unable to read vCard data.'

Tried the following:

1. Tapping the add contact icon from the YAATA UI

2. Saving the vCard as an attachment, then trying to open it with Contacts.

3. Adding attachment to Dropbox, then trying to open in with Contacts.

So I opened up the vCard attachment in a text editor. After a bit of experimenting, it seems that YAATA is saving the attachment with several hundred NUL (ASCII 0) bytes at the end of the file. Removed them, saved file and the vCard now imports fine.

I would really like to be able to import vCards directly without having to edit the file or enter the data manually. I've got vCard samples showing the issue and I'm happy to help with testing/troubleshooting.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
How about changing the color of the conversation window (where we type the messages), is this possible? Currently its the same as the sent bubble.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
I don't know about that one. I think it was assumed that whatever people chose for their sent messages would be readable enough for the compose box and not a lot of people would want the option to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] TomNJ3256:
On the latest version, I find if you are sending a text to a person who is not on the conversation list (first text since deleted old ones), the templates will not pop up when you hit the send arrow - anyone else have this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] MJPollard:
Haven't noticed that one, but I had something weird happen recently. I sent a text to someone by using a phone number, since they weren't yet in my contact list. The conversation ended up being flagged as hidden; I looked everywhere for it until I decided to long-press the FAB to get at my hidden conversations, and voila, there it was. Not normal behavior, if I'm not mistaken. ;)

[MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION], is it possible to have an option to have the menu bar (ie. the options that appear at the top when you hold on a conversation list or a message to delete, for ex) placed at the bottom instead? I find it difficult to reach in many cases when using the Note 9 one-handed. Even in pop-up mode, the messages appear at the bottom (w/c is good), but when I want to delete it, holding the message shows the menu bar way at the top. It would be a great option if we could make it appear at the bottom. Thanks.

It would be nice if YAATA scheduled texts were held in a separate screen, in date order and editable, and only added to the conversation after they were sent. Verizon messaging app does that just not for MMS.

Only problem, I can't go premium!!!
[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
I've sadly given up in this app, which sucks because I've literally been using it for years and it has some of the best features out there. It's been two months since there has been an update. While the MMS issue still exists, the app is useless for me. I'm reluctantly ready to go all in with Textra, since it correctly displays MMS group messages. The MMS issue is a deal breaker for me. I'll return to YAATA if it's ever fixed.
