Bug with Contacts

Hey mates,

How's it going? So I just recently discovered a bug in my device that won't allow me to select contacts neither in the "compose a new message" screen nor the "SMS blaster" tool. Nothing happens when I tap on the contacts button on either screen. I've attached some screenshots below. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
That's not a contacts button. It's a groups button. If nothing happens you have no groups in your phone book to display. You can add groups in the phonebook anytime and they will show in that drop-down.

To add a recipient from your contacts start typing their name or telephone number in the edit text to the left of the button you're pressing.
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
Hey Noah. How's it going? Lol. That's totally my bad. Yup, I don't have any groups on my device. I actually just thought it had the same functionality as the default messaging client.

I figured that would be useful if I can view and check all my available contacts instead of typing them in. I wanted to greet all the dads for father's day the other day so I wanted to see all my contacts. Do you think there's a an actual use for this function and would you consider adding it in in the future? Or would it be easier to simply add a group whenever I want to send out a message to multiple contacts at once?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sounds like a perfect use for a group. I totally have a dads group in my phone that I made for fathers day. One for mothers day. One for Christmas. Makes things quite convenient ?
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
Sounds reasonable. I'll try it out during the next holiday. :highfive:

By the way, how's the app looking for MM? Is it already working or? I'm still stuck with LL due to no root on MM and I don't see myself using another app.
[Android Apps and Games] hunter12:
Hi, is there a possibility to backup the messages and restore them after installing another ROM. I could not find it via searching the thread. I already tried it with titanium but it restored the app only.

regards

edit: After selecting messages (SMS/MMS) in titanium for backup, i could restore the messages.

Material Messaging requires Android 5.0+ Lollipop. If you're still using the old Android 4.4 Kitkat operating system unfortunately your device is not compatible at this time. You'll have Android 5.0+ soon :good:
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
Totally get it. Are there any plans on an option of picking the color to contrast with? Example, maybe I can change the color from green to blue, white, etc?

Not trying to be picky, just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Grab the latest update from the Play Store. I tweaked the black theme so the contrast color is a mild grey instead green.

Cheers

Noah
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
It looks much better, thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] shantanucse18:
Nice app. Working well in Android 5.0.2 moto G. It will be better if you can add dual SIM support.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I already added full dual sim support. In fact, Material Messaging supports triple sim phones! ??

To support multiple sims your phone must have Android 5.1 or newer. There's a menu in the settings panel to select the sim card you want to use

[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Unfortunately the implementation shown is deprecated at best, and is not consistent with a modern android 5.0 implementation. It uses ensureRouteToHost which is no longer effective compared to NetworkRequest.Builder. When I get into my work office I have two tickets pending with Sprint and TMobile developers regarding the defect in their mms over WiFi systems. I'll share them here if people want to call in and ask their tech support as to the status of the defect tickets.

In other news I have an update pending some final tweaks due to release tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers

Noah
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
"Deprecated at best"??? It is the only thing that works, and has worked for yrs. So I don't get what you're saying lol.... But yes, please do share any info you get from Sprint devs. Curious as to how you reached them though as I've been trying to??
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
In android 5.0 Google release an SDK way to send mms. Sprint needs to work with the SDK, the defect in Sprint's system is that they are not compliant with their obligation to fully support the Android SDK, in fact they are breaking is functionality.

SmsManager.sendMultimediaMessage should work with mms over WiFi systems, thus the defect in their system emerges.

What works in deprecated implementations is irrelevant. We're talking about modern Android 5.0 Lollipop that has mms sending and receiving built into the operating system.

I got through to their devs using big words and the fact that I work at American Express. I'll be following up with the tickets aggressively, have no doubt ??
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
I've been trying to contact them thru Sprint.com live chat and I was told that there was no one "Sprint Android Dev team"... It's just one team for Sprint for Android/iOS/Windows phones.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Correct, the dev team is for sprint systems. Has nothing specific to do with Android Sprint side.

Although from a business relations standpoint it may require them to reach out to phone manufacturers individually if an OTA rom update is needed to fix something at the operating system level.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
I would imagine it'd take an OTA to fix it to all Sprint phones. Unless it's a server side update type of thing.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Version 1.1.0.7 has been published to the Play Store and is pushing out now.

I added a toggle to the Settings drawer to force support for "Sprint mms over Wifi". To clarify what the toggle does.

Sprint apparently allows mms over wifi and specifically does not use a proxy server in this instance. When you enable the setting Material Messaging can no longer use the new Android 5.0+ mms system, it doesn't work with Sprint's mms over wifi system. Instead Material Messaging uses a legacy custom mms system, bypasses the proxy settings in the phone's APN configuration, and forces a connection directly over wifi.

What does this all mean.

1) Material Messaging will likely now send mms over Sprint's mms over wifi system.

2) Users that enable the Sprint mms over Wifi setting are at a loss, not benefiting from the reliability of the new Android 5.0+ mms service in the core Android framework.

3) It highlights a glaring defect in many if not all Sprint phones where a brand new feature in the Android SDK is broken. (SmsManager mms integration, and NetworkRequest.Builder)
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Will let you know if it works. Just an FYI the AwSMS dev implemented the fix I sent you in his app.... I can now send MMS over wifi with mobile data off.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Always remember, "it works" is not a standard for code excellence or maintainability. Sometimes a hack to get something working is not the correct course of action. Below are the three defect tickets I've raised with two carriers and one manufacturer. NetworkRequest.Builder and SmsManager both have notable defects with regard to mms over wifi systems, and HTC in particular has a defect in SmsManager.getCarrierConfigValues which completely breaks the android sdk for SmsManager.sendMultiMediaMessage.

Tmobile Ticket #: 10456264

HTC Ticket #: 115111158573 Lei

Sprint Ticket#: 062052947

Sprint Corp Security: 1800-877-7330

1.1.0.8 published to the Play Store and is pushing out now.

A fair amount of tightening of the user interface in this update, quite a lot of behind the scenes code changes. 4 new selectable fonts have been added to the settings. Overall the conversation list will feel much tighter now in many regards.

Cheers,

Noah
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Play Store says that there is a new version... v1.1.1.0?

FYI v1.1.1.0 SUCCESSFULLY sends MMS over wifi only!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] tu3218:
Does this support android wear voice reply?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Voice reply likely goes through the standard default messaging system, so yes, Material Messaging likely will handle voice reply just fine ?
[Android Apps and Games] lxender:
Add privacy notification and multiple contact selection when composing and this app is perfect for daily use.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
1.1.1.3 published to the Play Store and is pushing out now. I added a Privacy Mode setting to notifications :) Multi select for recipient insertion is not something I'm interested in adding, sorry.

Here's the entirety of the changelog:

★ Added PrivacyMode setting that only shows the contact's name in notifications

★ Added drop shadow to contact photos in thread

★ Made height of local notifications smaller

★ Added animation to text sending

★ Changed send graphic

★ Tweaked settings drawer alignment
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Version 1.1.1.5 has been published to the Play Store and is pushing out now. Roboto Regular has been added to the fonts list, and the main transition animation has been sped up by 150 milliseconds.
[Android Apps and Games] tu3218:
Damn was hoping to give this a try but it says not compatible with my Note 4. Guessing you need Lollipop? If that is the case, going to really limit the users who can use this app. Looks great btw!
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Yup, android 5.0 is a requirement of Material Messaging. Since 5.0 was released over 4 months ago there's millions is Lollipop users that have already upgraded their phones around the world. Don't worry, we all know Samsung is sometimes slow to update their phones, but they inevitably do ??
[Android Apps and Games] tu3218:
Samsung already has released Lollipop for Samsung, just waiting on Verizon....Yeah, but Lollipop is still only on 3.3% of users lol. Samsung did beat the Moto phones with the S5 to the Lollipop upgrade. But hey, when Verizon finally gets their act together and gives us Lollipop, I'll be sure to give this a go.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
3.3% of over a billion phones ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Privacy Mode, and Group selection feature have been added.

We're up version 1.1.2.3 :) App is doing great, incredibly stable, feature rich, and very few bugs. Get it while it's hot.

Cheers,

Noah
[Android Apps and Games] TacticalWank:
Awesome APP, MMS works the same way that Textra does it for T-mobile for me. Would love more customization options, such as changing Contact Name font in the message display list (I really don't like italics), and also could the dark theme apply to the settings pane as well? Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] znial:
Aewsome!

I love this app

can you project to add a widget?

thx for ur work
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sure, a day or two and I'll get a widget done ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
The settings panel needs contrast with the drawer shadow, otherwise it looks off. I tried applying dark to it, but ended up removing the mods, it didn't look good.

I'll think about removing the italics, just bold may do the trick too ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
A little more than a day or two :P It'll get done though.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Awesome app! I'm just having difficulty sending MMS. When the receiver gets them they're just blank. No matter the size of the image. Anyone now what's up?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Send an mms to yourself. Just enter your own cellphone number into a new message ? Let's see if it's blank ?
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Thanks but if I send it to myself is works but anyone else it comes out blank :(
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I doubt that's the case. Why can't it be a recipients problem? I have dozens of contacts on iPhone and Android. Mms works fine here.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Not sure but that's 3 recipients so far. The that worked was an iPhone.:(
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
So the one that worked was an iPhone recipient. And you sent it to yourself and your using Android. Hmm. So that covers android and iPhone, are you sending it to a Windows phone or a Blackberry?
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Everyone else is android 5.0 touchwiz. I'm using temasek cm12.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
If you send to yourself and it works, it means it works on all Android versions no matter what.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Its weird how everyone else is getting a blank message. I guess when I wanna send a picture message I'll just use the stock messaging app. Thanks man! This apps to awesome to not use.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sounds like they'll get blank messages too with the stock messaging app.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
I considered that to but they get the pictures fine. So usually I trouble shoot everything before asking questions this was just a little weird.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Then there's some sort of defect on Samsung phones dealing with the standard mms protocol. I'll see what I can do to work around this Samsung related defect. Typical of Samsung though ? I'll remove the smil xml, I bet it's what is throwing off Samsung ? Grab tonight's update a bit later.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
Thanks man you're awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Update published, removed the smil part and tested with two colleagues that have Galaxy S5s, good to go for mms. I also added a widget of the conversation list.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Your app seems very nice and adhered to most of the Material Design guidelines. I really like it, but can I get some help on implementing the color changing feature that you have. I also have a Material Design app, you can check it out here. Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
There's two level of color changing on Material Messaging. There's the theme (app) level color changes accessible in the Settings panel, and the contact color where the send/delivered/failed message widgets, the message editor, and the toolbar change color. Feel welcome to ask any questions you may have :)
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Just wanted to check in with you to see how the app is working. Good to go?
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
The update seemed to have fixed it man thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
You should keep the thread updated so people know this is still good to go! There has been like 3 updates in the past 4 days! Awesome app you have here.

GOod App

Just tested Very smooth and beautiful. :good:

I just miss few options :

Receipt Acknoledgment toast(/vibrate) Notification

MMS receipt Ack

Quick Compose from persistant Notification

IOS emojis support (softbank encode) .

Don't use it as main sms app for now but will keep an eye on evolution.
[Android Apps and Games] tu3218:
Does this have android wear voice reply support?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Thanks for the feedback :)

In the app, delivery reports are graphical in the thread. I'll consider adding a vibration response for delivery reports, the only reason I will restrain myself from adding this feature is because it requires the addition of a new VIBRATION permission.

MMS ack is handled by the core Android SDK framework in the SmsManager implementation. On Devices that don't support the SDK MMS implemenation, my custom MMS Service handles MMS ack to the MMSC server.

A persistent notification, interesting idea :)

Android handles Emoji nowadays, meaning on Samsung phones the emoji will be different than HTC, which are both different than stock Google Android on Motorola and Nexus phones.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Yes, version 1.1.4.1 has full Android Wear voice reply support. There's also mark as read support too [emoji14]
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
1.1.4.1 published to the Play Store and is pushing out now. Lots of new stuff.

★ New chat bubbles enabled by default. They'll be white by default, and the incoming bubbles will take on the custom contact color when it's set

★ New Android Wear voice reply support

★ New attach mms and send button graphics and animations

★ Shadows, highlights and UI enhancements everywhere

★ Countless bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] shokmah:
I use to switch to messaging app for answering then quiclky switch back to what I was doing before...true multitasking and no time for waiting Ack confirm in thread lol..so it's very comfortable to see a temporary toast message like this appears

message received by $contactName (+12345678910 )

... yeah I have an heavy internet use and use to talk to more than once in the same time. The vibration itself is not really what matter.

Dunno, seems it's working fine in few other apps... Will test again with your app but my ROM is a Moto G LTe Beanstalk Lollipop 5.0.2 , should be the AOSP way of doing such things.

yeah I discover it few days ago while I was testing Delicious TExtra App, I can tell It's an Killer Time and Effort Saving Feature...you can text, mms, schedule or whatever you want to from everywhere what is really comfortable. (if it was not for the miss of ack receipt notification and the messy handle of notifications on my rom, textra would be my SMS app )

It's only reliable when talking to Iphone or japanese people (Iphone and Japanese in my case...) seems they don't see emojis and me neither...Anyway, it's totally their fault they chosen the closed Iphone way of life ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
1.1.4.4 published to the Play Store.

★ Status bar and navigation bar colors now match the custom contact color

★ The default animation is now Slide

★ Reduced thread loading by 250 milliseconds

★ Added Settings menu option to conversations list

Heyho dear RazrHD Community,

I got a problem.

I installed Rogers Stock 4.4 .

Since that Day i don't get any LTE, only H+.

Is that maybe, because Rogers does not Support the Same LTE Bands as O2-Germany?

If thats the Reason, is it possible, to flash an O2 compatible Baseband/Modem?

Thanks in Advance

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.

I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.
