Hi, can you add the option to turn on partial wake when a sms is received in the settings?

My phone ZTE Blade/ Orange San Francisco doesn't display the led notification light unless the phone is awake. This will be a good workaround to save battery whist keeping the led light working.
[Android Apps and Games] ScootyPuffJr1:
As soon as this feature is implemented I'm in! Selectable custom colour for different contacts is a must for me.
[Android Apps and Games] aikon96:
Very nice APP! Thanks!

Could you just fix this:

When playing music, and receiving a SMS, I don´t hear any ringtone...?!

Could you just add a peep-tone or something else, that is played when playing music?!

Add ability to add custom smilies (not the Go- or Android Smilies)

It's a good app with potential, but I can't use it until it's consistent. Also, LED notifications and it never seems to vibrate even when it's set to always vibrate.

This is great, definitely faster than Handcent.

Feature request:

In the notification bar, have it show the # of new unread messages
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
gotta say... this is great. i just wanted facebook contacts and pop ups.

love the themed pop ups.

This is my new default. A third of the size of handcent and much zippier. I'm really happy with this. Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
There are definitely enough people with Facebook contact image issues to where it seems legit.

That said... they're working for me, so those that are having the problem might want to supply device/OS information.

For example, it's working for me on the two Sprint/Samsung Epic 4Gs in my house. One with the official OS (2.1 / Eclair) and one with the leak/beta (2.2 / FroYo).

[Android Apps and Games] randomfunk:
just switched to this from handcent as I think it has a cleaner look. Privacy mode so it doesn't show message preview on notification bar and LED notifications would make it perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
A few must-have features:

1) Widget to display total new msgs

2) Templates

3) Backup / restore for settings & templates

4) I wish I could change the notification icon to an envelope instead of the GO icon. Not that it's not nice but I want to see envelopes for messages.

Least important:

5) Blacklist based on keywords

6) Custom ringtones

7) quick reply on msg arrival

Are there Drafts? Haven't seen them

Also, don't people like to separate inbox from sent, drafts and deleted as we have always been used to? Why have them all together in one list?
[Android Apps and Games] taedium:
Hi,

Ive got a x10 mini pro (android 2.1) and my led doesnt work.

facebook picture doesnt work either.

But, group sms work :)

I still have some problem with MMS...

exemple: Someone send me a MMS while my 3G is off. If i set it on and try to download it on GOSMS, the MMS cant be download... The button "Download" comes back after a few seconds....

If i go to my stock SMS, i can download it..... I have no option for MMS in my stock SMS

(my english isn't good ^^ hope you understand :D)
[Android Apps and Games] :
PLEASE I need this! Love the app it is perfect but I cannot switch from handcent to this until there is a custom LED notification! Also, someone else mentioned the notification pic in the status bar..would be great if there were others than just the go icon like in handcent.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Bug?

When popup notifications are enabled, my Received messages do show up but they are not included in the conversations with anyone. Is anyone else experiencing this? Only my sent messages are showing up in the conversations.
[Android Apps and Games] sheddi:
Just noticed a bug maybe?:

I randomly get pop-up messages that are from "Unknown" and it is completely blank.
[Android Apps and Games] LiuAnshan:
Got a few of those recently as well
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
I'm also getting texts from Unknown. But the notification bug ironically deleted those messages LOL
[Android Apps and Games] FormelLMS:
Hm, now I don't have those problems.

But I hope, that we can have:

- Customizing of the LED/Trackball Colour

- Customizing of the notification icon (but I like the "Go" notification)

- Customizing own themes, or many more of them.

- Widgets.

But it is a great app, as it is. I never use the stock sms app anymore. Even on MIUI not.
[Android Apps and Games] by45:
I set the conversation custom setting and applied it.

but after i receive a msg, the setting resets.

this is the bug i've found so far i guess.

and could you add a feature which makes it to switch the sms to mms when the characters of the msg are over 80bytes?
[Android Apps and Games] flo09:
Hi i have a big problem with go sms the app crashed when i start it. I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 with a froyo rom
[Android Apps and Games] johnrbrown1968:
I've had it resetting my settings also. I keep wondering why it doesn't vibrate on notification, or the sound stops. It doesn't even consistently reset my settings. Only does it sometimes. I even uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still does it.

I'm uninstalling ... if they add in the email address inclusion for new message search, and clean up the notification settings I'll reinstall. I REEAAALLY like the app ... but just needs some tweaks. For now, it's frustrating me to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] lilhaloshaka:
I agree to these changes, wonderful application by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
I agree, but only in part, to a widget. I don't need to know my total unread messages, as I have launcher pro, thus giving me dock notifications that do the same thing.

I would, however, love a widget (customizable of course :) ) that is similar to your pop up style. just stays on the most recent message, and is swipable to go from message to message.

but either way, i've found very few issues (if any) and I really dig the application.

A suggestion would be to not actually load all of the message in the thread, but instead just the last 100 or whatever. Then if scroll to the top, you can click a button to read earlier messages. The only reason I think that would be a good idea is because it may help with laggy scrolling when flying through a large thread. If this wouldn't help, then I don't actually care.
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
Just started using 1.30 today, and it is just awesome. However, I found a bug with the Conversation custom setting. When changing the text size of either incoming or outgoing text, and then hitting cancel (which is also mispelled), the changes actually take effect, instead of being discarded. However, when going back to the same settings page, the setting displayed is the previous setting. So, the setting change takes effect but is not retained in the setting dialog. I would think that the setting should be discarded and also not take effect.

I'm on a droid2 with Froyo, and Verizon software version 2.3.

Again, thank you so much for the app, it is just wonderful, especially the notification pop up and options regarding it.
[Android Apps and Games] lakai:
thats what handcent does and its a lot smoother. I have a thread that is over 12k and it keeps crash and fc. very laggy, at best.
[Android Apps and Games] Vindicated777:
The only problem i have (mayne its my fault) is it keeps telling me i have unread messages (11 to be be exact ). I have no idea why or how to remove them...when i receive a message i see it in the popup but when i click open, no message to be found..any help? Default is already unchecked for no notifications...

Strange...

[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
There does need to be a better indication of unread messages. If you look really closely you'll see the text for the name is a bit bolder when there's unread - but that really isn't clear. Also, the teeny-weeny little indicator that a message failed needs to be made larger, too.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Well, there is also a corner banner that indicates the presence of a new message. It says "NEW".
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Can we do one of two things with regard to the popup:

1. Make the X close the popup but LEAVE the notification in the notification bar.

or

2. Add a dismiss button to close the popup but leave the notification in the notification bar.

Sometimes I don't want to respond/open an SMS right away, but don't want to forget it is there either.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] sag7392:
I agree with this as well and I'd like to see the popup box and text made slightly larger. Other than that, this app is really, really top notch. Thanks dev's for listening to the user!

[Android Apps and Games] Burning_aces:
nice app, just switched to this from handcent. Only thing its lacking is a widget to display the sms's unread inbox count and if you want that other widget handcent used that shows the latest * messages in a window.
[Android Apps and Games] hofland:
First of all, thanks for this great app. I have a few requests:

- Could you have the settings for successfully sent message not require a notification? I'd like my phone to vibrate only.

- Could we please have the envelope icon for New Sms?

Other than that I love the app, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
Great App! Can you provide an option to lock all letters in capitals?
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks all. how about adding "mark read" in popup windows, you have totally contol of making msg readed or unreaded. (Now, for several msgs in popup window, if you have slip over the msg, it will marked as read automatically when closing popup window.).
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Isn't this just a keyboard thing?
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
Yes, of course, it can be done by the keyboard pretty easy, but I don't want that, I just want to write only in SMS in capitals. In handcent, which I formerly used, I wrote the sms in every way and was only sent in capital mode. It could be great if it can be done here.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Oh, interesting... I wasn't trying to be contrary, I didn't get it before. Now I do.
[Android Apps and Games] quitlee:
The new update is awesome!! I really like the changes and the improvements a lot! The notification system works every time now like a charm, even though there is still a little lag with the popup, and it automatically locks the screen after a while.

The next step for me now would be to add the "resend" function when you long press a message. Right now, I have to long press the message, click edit, and send it again. However there is this little bug, where the message I end up editing isn't actually the one I wanted to edit. for example:

Thread:

him: Msg 1

.......Msg 2 :me

him: Msg 3

.......Msg 4 :me

if I long press Msg 4 to edit, the text that shows up will be the text from Msg 2, or earlier. To fix this, I have to do it twice basically. But it's very annoying, and I'm sure it wasn't meant to be like this.

And another minor problem, the notification bar icon isn't the one I set it to in the settings...It's like this light blue rectangle icon with clouds or something..

Hope you look into this!

A suggestion for future developing is to have a widget that lets you scroll or swipe through a particular thread of sent and received messages.

For example, the widget would take the contact that messaged you most recently, and display my thread of messages with that contact. You could either have buttons for "previous" and "next" message, or swiping up/down or left/right for previous/next messages, or even scrolling.

The reason I think this is really important is because sometimes when you're texting someone, you forget what you last wrote to them, and I want to be able to see what I wrote last to them without having to open up the messaging app, going into the thread and reading it from there. That's the point of the widget, so that you don't have to go in to the app. This of course, would imply a quick reply function.

As for the popup, I think there should be a setting that allows you to choose what the "X" button does. Some users want the "X" button to "mark as read", some want to it to just dismiss the popup but keep the notification.

I personally like the "X" button to mark the message as read; however, what I would like to see is the "X" button only marking THAT particular message as read. So if I have 2 unread messages, clicking the "X" would mark the 1st message as read, but the popup would still be there, now showing the 2nd message.
[Android Apps and Games] Chaotic.blaze:
Jus one request i have

Jus downloaded the app today and i gotta say im very impressed.. only one request i have to keep it as my permanent messaging app tho =)

I love to customize all my contacts with different backgrounds, fonts, etc so that everyones messaging window was unique something handcent allowed u to do ( only reason why i kept it for so long ).. could u add that function on to go sms?? if its in ur plans as a future update then great jus tell me so i can wait intently lol other then that the app is great. :D
[Android Apps and Games] kashifsiddique:
I love this sms app, especially the chat bubbles that are squared and not ugly like the iphone rounded bubbles!

Anyways, there's a problem with timestamp in the INBOX

Im using the 12 hour format and if i text someone during 12:00PM - 12:59PM the inbox would display 00:00PM - 00:59PM. However, it displays the correct time in the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] p1nh34d:
Hello,

thank you for this app. This one is much better that I had in S.Galaxy i5800. I'm long time Palm Treo user and I'm still fighting with this OS :)

Is there a chance that in this app will be CHOICE for showing the sms just like it was in Palm OS or old Nokia's phones ? I mean INBOX and OUTBOX not like conversation.

thanks for the answer.

[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
One feature i would like is for there to be an option for how long the screen stays on when its woken up by new text but still locked...5s, 10s, etc...

also i like how their is a message counter on the notification icon now but i dont think there should be one for when there is only 1 new message...
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
I agree, when there's only one new message, the counter should not appear.

Hi,

I use this amazing app with a Go Launcher, but I've some questions:

1) What is the difference between "Group Mode" and "Separate Mode" in "Appearance Settings -> Messages display mode" ???

I don't see the difference.

2) Is it possible to have one conversation in one message?

And not to have all conversations sent by the same person in one display/message :(

Tnx :)
[Android Apps and Games] eventer289:
I love the app so far, but as others have stated, I'd love to see a darker theme. Also, it'd be nice to have an option to only show the pop-up after unlocking the screen instead of showing on the lock screen. However, it's already replaced handcent for me.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
This looks very good for a very early release. I noticed a few things:

Bugs:

1) When typing a message in the popup screen, for some reason my keyboard's autocapitalize after periods doesn't work. It works normally when typing in the full conversation view though.

2) In the main screen and when viewing one conversation screen, clicking on the contact's picture doesn't do anything, but it makes a click sound. I don't know if it's supposed to be doing something.

3) In the popup window, clicking on the contact's picture asks to call, which is good! But, there is a typo. It says, "Confirm to call.name?" instead of "Confirm to call name?"

Suggestions:

1) Like previously mentioned, when looking at the SMS popup, it would be nice if there was a way to keep as unread and simply stop the notification light. Handcent does this by allowing you to press back. Otherwise if you press the x, it marks as read.

2) I would really like a way to customize the vibration patterns. I personally like one vibration, not two vibrations.

3) In the Notification Settings screen, unchecking "Status bar notification" should gray out the options Select ringtone, Vibration, and Vibration style since they no longer have any effect. Just to make it less confusion. The same goes for unchecking "Sent notifications."

4) The notification icon should have a number badge indicating the number of unread messages. Right now there is one icon with no number, no way to tell how many unread messages there are.

5) In the main conversation list screen, new messages should be more obvious. There is the "new" tag on the top right of the conversation, but maybe bold all font for the conversation, instead of just the name.

6) It would be nice to have the option for the popup to occur only when the screen is off. I like seeing it when I turn my screen on, but it might get in the way of what I am currently doing on my phone.

It does seem a bit faster than Handcent, especially the pop up and notifications :)

[Android Apps and Games] eventer289:
Also, on my Evo, there is no notification flash on a new message even when enabled under the system settings.

Edit: After reboot it works. Also, it should be messages "sent" not messages "sended" for the text counter.

Great application. I'm looking for more themes, and different smileys.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
What a kind user! Thanks. we will bring your most of your suggestions to future release. For bug 3, actually, GO Sms will pop up a tip box menu to let you call the number, write sms, view contact and etc, but it is not supported by all ROM. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks.

"Group Mode" means if the two messages' interval is within 3 minutes, they will be grouped, the second msg will not display times; and the third one is the same(comparing to the second one)

For the second question, there is no this feature for now.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
They are on the way :) Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Will be fixed in next release, thanks

[Android Apps and Games] skylite:
Am I the only one encountering this issue?

Sometimes when composing a new message, in the "To" field, when entering a name or number, the cursor keeps jumping back to the start.

For example, when I want to type a name "Jeremy", the name may come out as "ymereJ" because the cursor jumps back to the front after every letter input. Even if I were to move the cursor to the back manually, it still jumps back to the front.

Also as mentioned earlier by others, LED notifications not working.

Overall, i am loving this app. It is great =)

Really like the app. With that said, was wondering if u can add the option in settings for the htc evo to increase the maximum mms size to 5mbs like handcent has? That's the only feature I miss. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Bug report involving random time stamp faults:

90% of the time, the timestamps are right, and everything is in order. So, this isn't an issue with the offset. However, sometimes there will be some random message with the wrong time stamp that stays at the bottom (or most recent) part of the conversation, even though it happened hours before.

Can anyone explain this? Has it happened to anyone?

It's not a dealbreaker, I just delete the message and that's that. But it seems a bit funny.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
I said I will give GO SMS a try again if the Quick Compose feature is available. So now that it is, I will give it a try. :)

Can you give us an option to enable or disable the SMS count next to each Contact Name? Cause I don't quite need to see that. :)

And for the quick popup sms view, can there be an option like "MARK READ" to mark the SMS as read instead of just pressing the "X" icon to close the quick view? :o Because sometimes the SMS is so short that I can directly tap "READ" to make it as read already.
[Android Apps and Games] mitchisinoz:
Hey everyone,

This is my first post on xda so here goes.

I love the look of the app and it is mighty fast, but the only thing keeping me from converting from handcent is the lack of being able to set custom notification tones for different contacts.

Not sure if anybody else is interested in this feature but it is something I would rather not do without.

Cheers, Mitch
