That sounds like a low level sqlite database issue, or a content provider issue. Sorry, I don't have any recommendations, I only save the message to the messaging content provider once so this issue must be at a lower level in the system.

Hey Noah, im having a MMS issue. It works on every app ive tried but this one. When I go to download the MMS it says failed and I have 4 brs of LTE.

If it helps im on the LGv10 using the Verizon network, android 5.1
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I bet you have a bunch of messaging apps installed that are all trying to download the same Mms. That's not possible. Remove all but Material Messaging, even disable stock if you can on your phone. ?
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
That's.. A possibility lol. But I thought since we now choose default and the others do nothing while not being default it wouldn't try to download MMS
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
True, that's the way it's supposed to work, but in my experience I see many Messaging apps attempt to hijack Mms download. Once an Mms is downloaded from the carrier it cannot be redownloaded, thus if the Mms is download by another app, Material. Messaging cannot download it.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
I've had several instances recently where tapping on a message notification brought me to an earlier part of the conversation (instead of the end - where the subject of the notification would be), or to an entirely unrelated conversation. It doesn't happen every time, and I haven't seen a pattern to it.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
That's a strange one, maybe some sort of defect in the android RecyclerView. I'll check if there's any updates available.

hello nseidm1

im having some issue with my messaging app. everytime some one sends me a picture message i get a notifcation saying "manage MMs Queue ""

i have to click here for more option. i get tired of doing this everytime.. i try to find a setting in the setting section cant find it.. also happens when i start texting alot.. with just text messages no pictures.. i get the "Manage MMS Queue""".. help me fix this please.

im using Nexus 6P, 6.0.1 stock .. on verizon.. messaging apps are material messaging and stock android..

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

that happens to me a couple of times too..
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
My app automatically downloads Mms. You'll only see the Mms Queue notification if your phone is failing to download the Mms within 5 minutes. The problem isn't the Mms queue, in fact if you didn't see the Queue you would even know the Mms was failing to download.

Remove all other messaging apps, and disable the stock messaging app they comes with your phone. The most common cause of failed Mms download is Mms Hijacking apps like Textra being installed on the device.
[Android Apps and Games] Lw00d:
i only have your app installed for messaging.. isnt the stock android app disable right when i set Material Messaging as default??
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
To disable the stock messaging app, long press the app's launcher icon and select disable in the app info.

Other than that, an Mms taking longer than 5 minutes to download is a carrier and or network connectivity level issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Lw00d:
i just Disable stock messaging.. hope that works.. keep you posted.. thanks for the awesome support.. very quick..
[Android Apps and Games] maikassawi:
i will test this app :D
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
the cloud icon (like in screenshot) or a notification in navigation bar ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
The Cloud Toolbar icon gives access to the Mms Download Queue. It shows immediately when a "temp Mms" is available to download from the carrier. After 5 minutes of trying to download a notification will post informing that temp Mms is available for download. Only if the temp Mms download download within 5 minutes will the notification show. If a temp Mms is taking longer than 5 minutes to download something is wrong with network connectivity and or a carrier Mmsc server issue.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
And can you create a notification in the notification bar at this step ?

It will say "Hey ! Open Material Messaging, something is waiting for you !" :D

Because when the app is closed, it's impossible to know if a mms is in DL queue.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
That is currently what occurs. If an temp Mms is available for download, he download has failed for over 5 minutes, a notification is sent that a temp Mms is available.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Sorry, the french guy has understood only now after well reading your previous answer :victory:

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

I just ask, but your app is so customisable yet, one more option....... :D

An option to reduce/increase this delay of 5 minutes ? :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I'll consider such a new setting, the reality is though if an Mms is taking longer than 5 minutes to download something is wrong with network connectivity and or the carriers Mmsc servers.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
What is this random lock code you're referring to? Either I'm missing something, or you're in the wrong thread. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I'm coming late, but the delay of 5 minutes concerning DL queue for mms doesn't work for me.

The icon cloud appears, but no notification after 5 minutes (more than one hour and no notification).
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sounds like the entire application process is being killed before the post delayed runnable is executed.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Any suggestion to know how/what does that ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I can work around it, but I'd be more worried why Mms on your phone aren't downloading within 10 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] Bobinette24:
Very nice looking app, great work !
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
May be already reported....

When avatars are disabled in conversation, selected message in multiselect mode are not shown as marked.

Highlighting the whole line of a selected message could be possible ?

Not a big deal, just to report and suggest.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Correct, selected messages use avatar image and replace it with a check mark. With the avatar hidden you're also hiding the selected check mark.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I've investigated this further. You're likely closing the app (home button) leaving a specific thread open. Totally fine and normal behavior. You then get a new message for that exact same thread. Open the app and the already existing thread will open to exactly where it was before you closed the app. You can then scroll to the bottom of the thread to see new messages. The app will not automatically scroll an existing thread to the bottom, it must be assumed that the user left the app at a specific location, and that location is important to be retained for many reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
It's possible that I left the app in specific threads, but I normally exit the app using the back button. This would explain why it doesn't occur frequently. I'm pretty sure that at least twice the app opened to a different thread than the newly received message, but not 100% sure. I'll keep an eye on it and try to be more conscious of that state in which I leave the app, and see if/when the problem occurs.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Anand_theGeek:
Stunning app.... Works great till now. Really appreciate your hard work. Just noticed an issue with the app, it doesn't identify the sim number on the existing messages. I have moto g2 running on marshmallow.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Only new messages sent and received using my app will show the sim number. Old messages from other apps won't have thst information available in my app ? Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Anand_theGeek:
OK great.... Still a nice app. I'm loving it....
[Android Apps and Games] djbootleg:

[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I'll check if the library supports it. Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] SypoGames:

[Android Apps and Games] MattMatt0240:
I don't usually pick up apps from xda, but I needed a good messaging app... and I must say, very well done! I don't like that I can't access the settings without making it the default messaging app, but that is just a minor thing. Didn't take long to make it default anyway ;)

I have an old mms that never downloaded, and was going to see if this app managed to have any better luck. Unfortunately, there's no option to retry the download of mms when I select it. Am I missing something here?

Regardless, thank you and great job!

I try out quite a few messaging apps. I don't know what's happening these days with MMS on T-Mobile but your app is the only one that works reliably for MMS for me. I also like some customization, but no so much that it's hard to keep up with. Your app fits nicely there too. Keep up the good work. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
I'm still holding out hope that development continues on this app. I've been sharing in Google plus, and Android central forums to try to drum up some more users.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
What makes you think development won't continue?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
I'm here folks, I work at the Huffington Post, building their new Android app. My personal apps don't always take the front seat, gotta pay the bills for my family. Material Messaging is pretty rock solid right now for what I envisioned the app to be. I have some tweaks I'll inevitably make, no doubt. ?
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
I'm still having a problem with being brought to an older post of a conversation when tapping on a notification for a new text message. Most recently, tapping on a new message notification brought me to correct conversation, but at a point where the messages were 6 months old.

Is there any debugging feature I can turn on, or some other way I can provide more diagnostic information on this?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Good

Very nice app. Well done!
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sounds like a bug in the stack from end festure in LinearLayoutManager. I'll see if it has been reported in the AOSP tracker yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
I know you said that there isn't much left to do on this app, and I agree, but if the user base increases, or you find time, location sharing, direct share, and pinning favorite conversations are all things that many other apps have. None of them are as beautiful as this one, but I believe with some of those features, Material Messaging would blow the others out of the water. Thanks again, and I hope this isn't inappropriate.

[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
With v1.6.9.2, at the opening of the app or when refreshing the conversation list, a vertical blue bar appears and disappears (see screenshot)
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Yes, that's a scroll bar. When you scroll vertically it will show you your scroll position. If your conversation list is empty the scroll bar will be full height.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Hey folks, there's at least 10+ users experiencing a fatal crash with the new update. It's because they are using the legacy android 6.0, which was updated to 6.0.1 late last year. Unfortunately in 6.0 the entire mms system is broken at the system level due to a bug in the android change network state permissions infrastructure. This was fixed in android 6.0.1 which almost all phones have nowadays.

Here's the official bug tracker https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191246

I waited all these months to target api23 which allows for Marshmallow direct share, and the new in app permissions system to work. I can't target 21 again, the system won't allow it, thus there's no going back now ? So, if your phone is running Marshmallow, 6.0.1 is the minimum requirement to support my app. Lollipop 5.x devices are completely unaffected and fully compatible.

Here's the last legacy build that targets api21 for 6.0 support https://goo.gl/9niOwI
[Android Apps and Games] bbmadzky:
Is there something like private box like in other third party sms app or spam messages on samsung native sms app on this? I'd love to see it integrated :) It's where you can keep private messages and also be able to reply specified contacts secretly.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
My Vegas SMS app is built around privacy. It's not a lucrative product, very few people pay for such a feature unfortunately thus it likely won't end up in the free Material Messaging. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] meetmadzky:
I'm very sure a fraction of Material Messaging users, including me, would love to pay for such feature to be integrated in the app.

I have just checked your Vegas SMS and true it really fits my needs. I just need to see any customization options. Will be checking more of the app today.

UPDATE:

Just checked Vegas. The privacy is outstanding! But it doesn't feel like the Material Messaging. Any chance we could pay for this feature with Material Messaging?
[Android Apps and Games] tml478:
I've asked about this in the past and I would defiantly pay for the feature. I only stopped using Vegas SMS because on a secure lockscreen it would show the icon I chose but it would always say "Vegas sms" as the program sending it. I would love to see it as a paid feature in material messaging.

Multiple Recepient SMS

So here's a weird one. Whenever I try to send an SMS to multiple recipients in the "To:" field, it seems that it converts it into an MMS? and subsequently fails since my carrier (or plan, not sure) doesn't support MMS. Is there any way around it other than sending it one at a time?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
You can use the Sms Blaster. It's in the Conversation List menu.
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
Cool. Thanks as always mate :D
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
Not weird at all - that's the way it's supposed to work. SMS doesn't support multiple recipients.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
So, what's the intended behaviour of the current release on devices running Android 6.0? When I try to send a MMS message I get a pop-up warning, and the message is added to the thread, but there's no "sent" icon next to it, and the recipient didn't receive it. Is the actual sending of MMS disabled on Android 6.0?

I never experienced this crash you're referring to (maybe because I infrequently send MMS).
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Mms on Marshmallow requires android 6.0.1. On 6.0, Mms cannot work when an app targets API23 for in app permissions and other marshmallow specific app enhancements.

In other words, for material messaging to gain the benifits of marshmallows features, Mms becomes non functional on android 6.0, but is fully functional on 6.0.1 and newer.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
Ahh... I misunderstood and thought the app would crash (which it didn't for me). Thanks for making the legacy version available.

[Android Apps and Games] qwerty1q:
Not missing anything cos I can receive mms via the stock message app. However I can disable or uninstal the stock app when I run your up. I can only switch them and select default.

Is the 6.0.1 requirement for all devices? My Xperia Z5 Compact has 6.0 and MMS seems to work. BTW, nice job with the startup speed! ?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
6.0 from Google has a broken ability to change the network stage. Technically a manufacturer has the capacity to fix it when they released their version of 6.0. But... It was fixed by Google in AOSP in 6.0.1 officially.

Sorry to bring this up again.

But if i use another messaging app, e.g. yaata it asked me if i would like to group the message or not and did send the messages as single messages not using mms.

Is there a way to achieve this in Material Messaging?
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Group messaging is mms, sending an sms to a bunch of people is not group messaging. In the conversation list press menu and select "Sms Blaster"?
[Android Apps and Games] hunter12:
Thanks, I think i got it now. It is just a bit irritating, because i tried to compose a new message and added different recipients into the "To:" line and it tried to send the messages as mms.

I don't want to group in the meaning of that everyone can reply to all recipients - just a message to a bunch of people.

After using sms blaster it does what i intended :)
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Opening a thread, adding let's say 10 people, and sending a message as an sms would be strange because no response would be in the thread, they would all respond in their own individual sms threads. So the original message would be the only message in an outgoing thread with no responses. Thus, why I force group messaging the way it's designed to work, and offer the Sms Blaster for mass sms messaging.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Ericular:
Noah -

Awesome messaging app. Just found it today, and I'm excited to start using it as my daily driver. Big thanks for developing it.

One question for you. I have set up various contacts to have specific colors. Is there a way to have a person's color extend into their MMS conversations? Meaning that if I was in a conversation with a blue person and a green person, each of their responses in the MMS would show up as their individual colors? I see that I can assign each MMS convo its own color, and then all replies from all people are that color, but it's not quite what I was looking for. The stock Google Messenger app does this, and it makes it quicker at a glance to identify who sent a reply, without having to read each name under each message.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sorry, my apps design is a conversation color, not a contact color. Thus the entire conversation all contacts participating will have the same color. It'd be quite a massive rearchitecture to change this at this state of development, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Ericular:
Not a problem! It's not a dealbreaker for me. :D Thanks for the quick reply.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
So I really want to love this app, but is it just me or is it quite slow? I have it set to no animation, with the shortest time lapse, all messages older then 1 month deleted, and it just opens kind of slow. It populates conversations relatively slowly as well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Galaxy Note5 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
The only Samsung phone certified to run my app smooth is the S7. All older devices don't have the required GPU performance. For whatever reason Samsung decided to finally not **** up Touchwiz on the S7, it's their first phone ever with a great refresh rate and excellent FPS performance. Generally clean android devices have great FPS, Motorola, Nexus, One Plus, etc... All else are not certified for my app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
I'm curious why I have no such slow down using other apps? I respect the work you have done, but the Note5 is a powerful enough, smooth enough device that if an SMS app can't run smoothly on it, then you will be hard pressed to get widespread adoption, as it will surely lag on many other devices. Im assuming that LG devices must struggle as well.
[Android Apps and Games] nseidm1:
Sorry, the fact that it's smooth as silk in the S7 and not on the Note 5 means the frames per second performance of the Note 5 is not powerful enough for the double fragment view pager design I've created. LG, HTC, are absolutely not certified, nor are they recommended products by me ever! Adoption is irrelevant, I made the app for myself and many friends asked me to put it on the Play Store. I'm happy many users like the app though.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
OK..didn't mean to offend. I just recall a post from awhile back where you mentioned hoping the user base would continue to increase so development would continue..I appreciate the work and the feedback. It's a beautiful app.
