Great news :)

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
So I've complained about this before but it's never been fixed. In group messages, the notification always shows that all of the messages have been sent from the last person that replied in the group chat. This is really confusing and annoying. For example..

Group message:

The notification would show:

Speaking of MMS, can we can an option to set notification methods specifically for group messages? Sometimes group threads go nuts, and I'd like to set it so that it only sounds/vibrates once per 15 minutes or something like that.

I set mine to always send MMS and when I send a vCard it always fails. Why?

How to buy premium Yaata if we don't have Playstore on the phone ? (if it's possible ^^ )
[Android Apps and Games] TBill:
I have this issue as well. I had to move over to my stock version sms app and I donated funds for advanced features. Can we get this fixed? I'd like to go back to Yaata in the interim I'm using textra.

Well since Yaata's settings are not very intuitive, numerous and not easy to customize you can't expect nobody asking.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
After restoring my messages from a backup created with smsbackup, the group chat mms are all marked with today's timestamp and therefore wind up at the top of the list.

I thought this issue had been fixed long ago?

I searched the settings for an option that would order messages by time sent rather than time received but found no joy. I could have sworn that there was a setting for this somewhere in a past revision. Has it been removed or is it hidden somewhere in an ancillary menu?

When I try to send a delayed text message, the following day nothing happens. I set the time and date for sending text, on the calendar icon. Nor can I search for people or words. I have vainly attempted to reinstall the app. Otherwise good app. Best regards Steffen Andersen

The method to display my own contact photo in conversations that's mentioned in the thread doesn't appear to work anymore on Samsung devices. When I tap the generic contact photo for my avatar in an existing conversation, I do not get a pop up allowing me to change the picture. Nothing happens. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] bgxx:
Very good, thanks. :good: :)
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Is this the version that is now available as Beta in the Play store? The version I took shows the first comment about UNDO for deletion but makes no mention of group chat notification fix.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Both versions are the same.
[Android Apps and Games] Thatonequietguy:
Possible bug with volume?

Max volume, chathead only, it's like a whisper of a sound when I get a text.

But if I enable the status bar icon, it's loud and proud when I get a text. But that defeats one reason i use the chathead, to avoid a big notification at the top of screen..
[Android Apps and Games] RoseSmiths:
Actually its good ): thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
Notifications for group chats now show the real history! Only odd thing I noticed now was that the name of each sender is listed twice (Running Android Oreo, if that makes a difference). Like so:
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
Is the timestamp when restoring group messages from a backup fixed also?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
There is nothing to fix. Timestamps are messed up by app which restored messages to Android database. Eot
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
Hmm. I used the latest version of smsbackup & restore mentioned many times in this thread and all group messages wound up with a timestamp of today. Sms retained the original timestsmps. Is there a better program than smsbackup & restore?

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

When I searched this thread for a similar issue I found one user with the same issue but they never said it was resolved. I have been a longtime user and have backed up and restored several times using this program without any issues...

I seem to remember a setting to "use initial timestamp" or similar but I don't see this anywhere in the settings for the current version of YAATA.

[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
Hm... I've used that app to restore stuff before and I remember having had that issue in the past. It's been a long time since I've used it to restore but I thought that it didn't do that last time I used it. Kajozord is right, though, that's definitely an issue with the app not restoring the message timestamps properly.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
Thanks for the response. I too have used this app in conjunction with YAATA without issue several times. I will try another restore but I expect similar behavior.

Hi! Great job!

Popup over lockscreen didn't work for me... Any solution ?

Using Oreo. Popup over lockscreen work great with "Chomp SMS"
[Android Apps and Games] eltigre4jc:
Is this feature corrected already? I just set the text to speech language to Romanian, but yaata still reads the messages in English...
[Android Apps and Games] fatjoez:
There is a problem with notification sound volume.

The app is linking the sound to media volume but not the call ringtone volume

Also many times even if the volume of media is on max. The sound volume is too low.

This problem happen on Samsung s6 and Huawei p10. Android nougat and Oreo.

Is a problem with the app.

Please change the notification to ringtone type
[Android Apps and Games] cry8wolf9:
So I'm still having this problem but it seems to be getting worse :( people's txt messages are getting mixed up and I'm getting blank messages when there should be content in them. Attached is a picture of the problem.

[Android Apps and Games] rowan9:
In the conversation list long press on the text you want to customize. A toolbar will pop up on the top. Press the gear icon (next to the trash can).

The second heading under General says Notifications. Click that.

Then under General on that page click on ringtone and select the location of your choosing where the desired ringtone is.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Unfortunately there's a crippling few.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
And those would be? As the only issue I have ever had (which keeps me on a really old version) is the delete co formation (which I understand is needed for the simple)
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Loved this app but kept having MMS issues so haven't tried it again on new phone yet.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
Yeah I love it and I've been using it for years but I am afraid that I'm going to need to explore other options soon. Group messages all wind up on top after a restore with a timestamp of the restore date.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Yeah for me my wife's iPhone would never receive them properly. As soon as I switched to a different app no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] kmem:
There are several options in the settings that might help. There was a new MMS engine introduced a while back that is toggleable. I haven't had any issues receiving MMS but very occasionally it will fail to send one and just continue trying with the spinning circle. If the restore worked properly I would be thrilled.

Which app are you using now?
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
MMS poor quality, you can't go back to the last setting page you were on do you have to remember where the last setting is located then going through all the pages again which is a pain when customising.

But it seems the scheduling send fixed on the last versions of I'm correct.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I have non of those issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I haven't had the app installed for quite a while now and maybe things have changed but I tried multiple different things in MMS settings and it never worked for me properly.

I'm using textra now and everything works out of the box.
[Android Apps and Games] ABOSWORTH:
Did textra fix the issue of having to hold your phone in landscape to see the option to add a picture? That was a deal breaker for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I don't use it in landscape but just tried and it worked fine.
[Android Apps and Games] tdusen:
Did textra fix that it uses double the space by creating a duplicate database? That was the deal breaker for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ABOSWORTH:
Didn't even know about that. I didn't use it long enough to find out. Lol. I messed with it for like 10 minutes and was out. I really don't like textra personally. I'd rather us the stock texting app.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Hey Kajo any update on web previews within an MMS message?
[Android Apps and Games] ArChAiC69:

Hi Guys!

I'm trying to change the date format in the Conversation List for Today, yesterday... but either it will be overridden by the settings for This year format (both are the same) or the strings are not accepted? This year format is MMMM dd., EEE and for Today, yesterday I would like to set only the name of the day like EEEE. Is this not possible? I have tried MMMM dd., EEEE also, only to see, if it makes a difference, but did not change the format either.

Unfortunatelly, I did not find any help/guide regarding this. Can someone explain me in short what I'm missing? :)

Problem disappeared after force closing the app a couple of times.

I've purchased two copies for my wife and myself...love it...but...is there any way when taking a picture from within yaata that it would also save it to my phone when it puts it in the message? Thanks in advance for the consideration!
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Does anyone know what the "Notifications->Actions->Deletion Undo" option does? Doesn't seem to do anything for me. I was thinking it would allow an undo when the user deletes a conversation from the conversation list.

[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
Hm, I don't see it there. But it should be for that undo action that appears for a short time after you delete message from notification.
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
has anyone experienced issues with a dual sim device?

I installed yaata a while ago (switched from textra) just because it gave me the ability to delete

confimation code messages from the notification, but I've seen there are issues with it:

first of all, as discussed earlier in this thread, delivery reports (which are working in my country) aren't supported,

nor have I seen an intention to be fixed and

I have horrible problems with my dual sim device:

the first time I replied to a message (sent to my 2nd sim), it was sent from my 1st sim,

which was correct because the 1st was defined in the phone settings for sms,

but on the next sms I received I clicked reply again and the 2nd sim was used,

leaving me with a minus residue!

after some days today I tried to sent a sms again (no reply) and

I got a generic failure error!

maybe I'll have to swictch back to textra I guess

[Android Apps and Games] wruyter80:
I paid $3 for the premium version but it didn't work initially. I went and checked again and it charged me a 2nd time. I appreciate the work that has been done but I shouldn't have been charged twice. I sent an email to the developer and well. I have both receipts emails if that helps. Thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
[MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] still having similar issues here. Pushbullet is unable to Dismiss YAATA notifications. I can dismiss all other notifications, though, so seems YAATA isn't allowing it somehow. Can you look into it?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
This may be a one off question but I thought I'd throw it out there for consideration....I really miss having chat heads on the lock screen since I upgraded to Oreo. So I am now using the Microsoft Next lock screen with the system lock turned off. When I get an incoming text YAATA chat head will appear over the lock screen. But when I unlock the screen and then re-lock YAATA chat heads won't show any longer over the Next lock screen. So it appears that new chat heads will claim top position but once the device is unlocked they are relegated to being behind the lock screen. I have used some other chat head apps (DirectChat and FB Messenger) and they always remain over the Next lock screen. My question is, is this something that can be changed in YAATA (to always request topmost visibility) and therefore make me (and presumably others) a happy dude? I realize there is not much activity happening dev wise on this app at the moment but what the heck, thought I'd ask.
[Android Apps and Games] ejkula:
got to notifications, actions, notification buttons. There are status bar button options to reply, call, delete, Mark read, and you can choose up to 3...Might only be on premium though.
[Android Apps and Games] VICosPhi:
I have S9+ and even though I really like YAATA, it has an issue handling MMS pictures. When I receive two back to back pictures, it only shows the most recent picture. When you click on the most recent picture, it does not open full screen. I tried new engine, old engine, system, legacy mode, tried clearing cache and uninstall/reinstall Yaata, cleared data but nothing helped. I also have the donate version. So in short:

1. Yaata only shows most recent MMS picture when you receive two picture messages back to back

2. Yaata does not let you open the picture full screen when you tap or double tab on the MMS thumbnail.

Any ideas why this happens?
[Android Apps and Games] MJPollard:
No, but if it's any consolation, you aren't alone. YAATA has been plagued with MMS image issues for a while now. There have been times when I've scrolled back through a conversation with my wife, only to find that some of the pictures she sent me are gone, with duplicates of previous pictures in their place. Not too annoying if you aren't looking for pictures, but if you are... ;) For those few times, I fire up the stock (LineageOS 14.1) MMS app, which doesn't seem to have that problem. I'm with YAATA for the long haul, don't get me wrong, but this is a bug I'm hoping we'll see squashed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] VICosPhi:
Thanks, I am glad I'm not alone then with this bug and hopefully the devs fix it soon. There's nothing like YAATA out there!

I've moved to TEXTRA for now and will be back to yaata once this issue gets fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] kinfolk248:
damn this app still has the mms issue i see. I thought it was just because I was using an old(er) version. I didnt know that the new(er) versions were still having problems. Hope it gets straightened out though, because yaata is pretty cool ;-]

I think that before adding any new features, these MMS issues have

got

to be resolved. They're getting out of hand. Now, not only are images getting screwed up, texts themselves are starting to mess up. (I'm currently in the middle of a MMS convo with my wife and MIL, and texts are disappearing and others are being attributed to the wrong person. When I view the same convo in the stock Messaging app, everything is just fine.) I love YAATA and I've been willing to stick things out to date, but I'm starting to seriously consider jumping to another SMS app if these MMS issues don't get resolved soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
Admittedly, as happy as I am with YAATA's base functionality and the fact that it's designed for power users, I've been very unhappy with the unresponsiveness from the dev.

I know that there are plenty of alternatives for people who want something simple - but what alternatives are there for power users who want a lot of customizability and control?

[Android Apps and Games] emwu_:
When in text selection mode, I cannot move the start and end selectors. Dragging any of them does nothing. I can only click anywhere on the text and move them both, but they're stuck together and select an empty space.

YAATA 1.37.3

Android 7.0
[Android Apps and Games] MJPollard:
Well, I know it's not easy for a single person to maintain an app of this size and complexity, so I'm willing to cut [MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] a lot of slack, and I'm certainly not going to be one of those users who sit here and demand that he bow and scrape to my every whim. ;) The fact that there is no other texting app with the plethora of features for power users that YAATA has is what keeps me here. I'll just be patient and hope that these MMS issues can be worked out soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
Generally speaking, I agree with you.

What bothers me is when devs have a habit of ignoring emails or forum posts. They should at least acknowledge their users' concerns and respond appropriately. For example "I'm aware of the problem. I've been working on it, but it's tricky and is taking time.", or "I like that idea. It's going on my to-do list. I have a few other ideas that are taking priority, but I think I might be able to address this one by the end of the year.", etc...

And when there is a critical bug - such as what you've been discussing regarding the MMS, that deserves an immediate response and a resolution in a reasonable amount of time. From what you said earlier, it seems like this has been going on for a while. Has the dev discussed the MMS issue? Is it known why this is taking so long to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Yes many times. Basically "it's our operators issue" or "bad settings", but strangely it only happens using YAATA when all other apps are working flawlessly.

We have no information about this being actually tried to be fixed at the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] Tore Karlsen:
I donʼt know about this can help anyone, but it goes like rhys:

The time available for working with YAATA is extremely limited.

Explaining the status of the development takes valuable resources from the development itself.

I think the current solution is the best possible.

It may be frustrating not knowing whether a bug will be fixed or not, but life is full of uncertainties. We just have to live with them.
[Android Apps and Games] VICosPhi:
Agreed, the dev needs to acknowledge the MMS bug and post something like "A fix is in the works, but no ETA yet".

For now I have moved to Textra and it works great for basic texting. Missing a lot of YAATA features though so hoping it gets fixed soon.
