I am using this app for long time. It's great but the only but important feature I want in this app is to able to recognize Default number for contacts having multiple number. It's annoying to select one number for each contact every time while send group messages. Handcent has this feature to select default number while adding contacts to groups..

Is it possible to make the pop-up notification text message font bigger?

- Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G -
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
I haven't had a play with the theme creator app yet, but you can't modify the popup in any way, shape, or form in the program.. Something I've been waiting for them to implement since they added the ability to customize gosms.. still waiting

Does anyone else get lag when scrolling through the main window with all your message threads in it? If I scroll up and down many times, it'll fluctuate between acceptably smooth scrolling (the framerate could be higher) and very laggy scrolling. Scrolling everywhere else is fine. It's the only thing that's stopping me switching to GO SMS. Having GO SMS in Lite mode as opposed to Pro makes no difference

I've also noticed that if you go Menu > Search > By contact, you can scroll through the exact same list of message threads but the scrolling is noticeably smoother.
[Android Apps and Games] juicebox666:
I'd like the option for my inbox to open at the top of my threads with notifications. Currently I have to scroll up everytime to see my new messages when I get a GO SMS notification.

VPN and OTP codes

I updated to the version before 3.58 and i stoped reciving OTP codes. I have to revice them to login to my companys vpn and thats something i do everyday :(

This is the best app on market so please fix this matter ;(

EDIT:

This is now solved!!! TY TY!
[Android Apps and Games] NiceCarpet:
Oh wow, yes for getting perfect scrolling like that. It's not too bad for me at the moment. It's much better than it was before in earlier versions of Go SMS Pro, but yes, definitely.

Desire HD @ 1.3Ghz running CM7 with 29 SMS threads under Go SMS Pro v3.58 using 'User-defined Mode' with 'Appearance customization' as the only one ticked.
[Android Apps and Games] nedthehead:
I have EXTREMELY high CPU usage with 3.58 so much that it completely bogs down my entire OS
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I have also been noticing very very laggy main screen conversation scrolling on my fast HTC T-Mobile G2.

Also, I am not getting high CPU usage at all but I did notice there are 2 running GO SMS Pro processes.. is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You should get the Go and File Expert guys together, haha... I have no scrolling lag in either app but I saw you post that you do. Samsung Epic for me.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Sigh. These are the ONLY two apps that give me any lag whatsoever :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] tpak44:
I to am having this issue. Samsung Captivate running Serendipity 6.4. After this last update, GOSMS Pro CPU usage is ranging from 80% to 97% ...so my phone is running hot and eventually running out of juice fast.

Had to uninstall and revert back to stock for the time being. Anyone have any clue what's going on?
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
I've been running the cm7 nighties daily on my htc desire with gosms and never had the cpu our battery issues.. could it possibly be rom related instead?
[Android Apps and Games] iRide113:
So much lag after the update....

I had 10,000 messages with no lag on previous versions and now it won't open my inbox...
[Android Apps and Games] tpak44:
I went to the developers website and saw several comments from users experiencing the same thing ...one thing we all have in common - Galaxy S phones.
[Android Apps and Games] beaver2233:
mmm yeah...when I was on stock 2.3.3/4 I was experiencing massive drain...currently on MiUi and seems there is no excessive drain/usage....but also experiencing the major lag, so switched back to earlier version
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
No issue here, though, so it isn't all GS devices... I use an Epic 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] iRide113:
Are there any archives of previous versions?

EDIT: Found a version 3.5 apk

All you gotta do is unzip it and push the apk to your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I also had lag on my old captivate. I nailed it has due to the low amount of ram it had as I don't have this prob on my inspire.
[Android Apps and Games] pikachu01:
Yeah, having the same problem too after upgrading Go SMS. It consistently produces 90% CPU usage that drains the battery. Currently unusable for me.

Edit: Galaxy S too.
[Android Apps and Games] NahhaB:
I have a cpu leak issue too. I'm using Froyo 2.2.1 on Galaxy S I9000. I had to uninstall
[Android Apps and Games] pikachu01:
For the guys experiencing high CPU usage, what's your kernel and ROM?

I'm using Ryyuu's EDB and Talon kernel 0.4.1.
[Android Apps and Games] rinl:
using i9000 with CM7 latest nightly and neo pre11, cpu stays at 1000mhz....

after uninstalling gosms, things get back to normal

I'm getting errors trying to download an mms from an iPhone, and this is the error log from GoSMS.. Anyone know what's wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] RandomZero:
Same problem with the new version on my Captivate running Firefly 3.0, completely bogs down everything and even causes the net to either stop working or it's just incredibly slow and times out.
[Android Apps and Games] Kurre:
I also have same problems..cpu usage at 80-100% constantly. I'm using romkitchens jvp + speedmod k15h-t22. Didn't have any problems before latest update.

now i have turned off option to run go sms pro persistently. And after using the app, i kill it through system panel. But this isn't very convenient way to operate this app..so lets hope there will be fix soon.. :o
[Android Apps and Games] iRide113:
I posted the 3.5 apk a page back if anyone wants... It works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] flipzmode:
Cross-posting this on XDA and your website because I'm not sure which one gets looked at. I couldn't find any type of bug-reporting system.

First off, thank you so much for a great app! I absolutely love it and have been using it for a long time. I do have some issues with the new version and with private folders (which is BY FAR my favorite feature ever) that I would like to report.

Bug in private folders on 3.58:

After updating to 3.58 I have noticed a pretty huge "security" hole in the private folders. It's easy to duplicate.

1) Receive an incoming message from someone that is a private contact.

2) Respond to that message and hit the home button to return to your home screen (do not hit back>back>back, just hit home)

3) Receive a new message from that same contact and open it via notification menu.

It will open straight to the message instead of prompting for the password. This is going to lead to me having private messages read by someone. Hoping for a fix ASAP! I can't say 100% for sure that this wasn't a bug in 3.5 but I never once had it happen and have had it happen multiple times on 3.58 (and can duplicate it every time using the steps above).

If I may add in some feature requests (borderline bugs as I'm not sure why they were even left out) for private folders also:

1) There is no ability to enable or disable the LED flashing for private messages. It's simply always off. I would like the ability to toggle it like you can anywhere else in GO SMS. Toggling this in the "default notification" settings doesn't turn it on or off for private.

2) There is no ability to turn off the unread count in notification area for private folders (and the same as above, toggling this in the "default notification" settings doesn't toggle it for private). I don't want it to show the icon for how many are unread, simply that I have a new message. Part two of that would be that the drop down notification displays my custom message that I set in the settings after my first notification, but after the second it changes to "X unread messages." I would like it to simply stay at my custom message if I have unread count turned off.

3) I would like to request some new notification icons that don't look like chat boxes. Maybe some simple dots, or a transparent one, or even the ability to assign my own.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] beaver2233:
I think your MAIN CONCERN at the current stage is fixing the high CPU usage (and lag) that is occurring with Galaxy S and its variants (captivates etc)....GOSMS is using extremely high % of the CPU, draining battery extremely fast...this makes the app unusable, if you want a phone to last more than 8hours...

this is seen with the stock battery report, watchdog application and system panel app...
[Android Apps and Games] overclockxp:
I love go sms. It is the best sms app ever.

Can you put a word count under the send button when in landscape mode?

Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
[Android Apps and Games] tpak44:
Good call. Going back to 3.5 worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktik627:
Sorry for being dumb, how can i see how much cpu GO SMS is using on my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] beaver2233:
download watchdog tasker (or something along the lines of that)....just search watchdog, from the market...
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:

Is a DUTCH-language Pack also in the planning?
[Android Apps and Games] KrayzieIDEOS:
Im using GO Sms and i use SMS Popup for the notifications. Works for me, and is MUCH better than chomp or handcent, they all fail in comparison to this
[Android Apps and Games] rarert:
I love Go SMS. One question. How can you lock messages? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] KrayzieIDEOS:
Long press the message> lock message
[Android Apps and Games] Try4Ce:
GO SMS replaced Handcent on my Desire HD. Really like this app.

Only downside so far: Its lagging a little bit while scrolling through the messages.

Other than that: Sleek and beautiful, love the popups!
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Really good app, replaced Chomp on my Galaxy S ^^

One little thing, when I send a SMS, I get 2 "Message received by XXXX" messages.

Not that it bothers me ^^ But I wanted to spot it :)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
Go to the stock message app and disable notifications there
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
So it's necessary to use both app at once? :o

And why do you think it's MUCH better may I ask?
[Android Apps and Games] soldiers33:
I love it but its not quite there to replace chompsms for me. The features its lacking are

led notifications

being able to change font size

android style chat

not enough themes

if these 4 things get implemented in the future ill switch over completely.
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
You misunderstood ^^

I don't get 2 notifications, I get two messages showing for about 2 secs on the bottom of screen and saying "Message received by XXXX".

And btw, my notifications were already disabled ^^
[Android Apps and Games] KrayzieIDEOS:
I dont always get up a popup saying i have a message with GO Sms, seems a common problem. So i use SMS Popup for notifications, plus i like the SMS Popup quick reply box more.

GO Sms is MUCH better in my opinion purely for the way it looks, the aesthetics of the app are just much more sleek and stylish then the others.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
ah sorry didn't get that. don't know about the toasts.. (that's what those messages are called)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Okay! Will try. Then if so, do you disable notifications for GO SMS or you have BOTH Go SMS and SMS POPUP notifications ON?
[Android Apps and Games] Austiniter:
This application clearly out performs Handcent, has no current bugs/nor issues I can find. Works flawlessly on my G2. Really good application - thanks 'GO SMS' for such a really robust messaging application. Austiniter (Texas)
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Sure, underwork. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please make sure that the built-in SMS can send message. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] k0smo86:
Yeah I love this app, it's so lightweight, haven't had one single major issue. The only thing I have come across right now is a contact has a picture and name displayed in the popup, but in the list view is just a phone number.
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Anyone other Galaxy S users want this?
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, I really want you(and all other users that meet such issue) to help us identify in which case it doesn't notify. so that we could fixed it quickly.

Thanks for you help.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Will be fixed in next release soon. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks for your word :p
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
did the default Go theme just change? I liked the one with orange accents.... :(
[Android Apps and Games] RandomZero:
I've been unable to change the running mode since the fiasco with the CPU usage.

To fix the issue, I tried reinstalling the app, and since then it's not allowed me to change the mode. I've completely removed the app, cleared the cache and rebooted the phone with no success, it still refuses to change the running mode.

Anyone know how I can correct this?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I really hope the CPU usage issues are fixed; it is ultimately the only reason why I don't and can't use GO SMS right now. chompSMS has fantastic performance, but I really would like the extra control and features that you guys provide, as well as the widget that simply allows me to view that conversation (chomp only allows you to open the app...frustrating if you just want to read a previous text!).

Galaxy S users

I had the came CPU-heating-up-phone-never-below-88% problem, almost uninstalled GOSMS last night, figured I'd check one more time before I looked for alternative, and this fix actually works, download via QR code or phone & install, or push to SD card & install.

Thank you very much :) it seems that go sms is working properly again..I will monitor it tomorrow if something strange behavior appears, but now it looks like the bug is gone :)
[Android Apps and Games] ahub1988:
I have used go sms for a long time two problems I have encountered

1. In new message while pressing contact button it shows loading popup and it continues loading for an hour, I have to restart my mobile to work with my messaging

2. It seams that go sms persistent running don't work on my phone because of which I don't get my messaging notifications, if I use medium widget for go sms it shows new message there but still I don't get notification alert

If I use chompsms I gives me notifications alert

I use minicm where I have freed my system memory upto 50 mb

And data memory upto 99 mb

Thanks all, to make clear the root cause and to be more effective, we do another fix using other solution for the CPU issue , please help us to verify this solution also. Thanks a lot

Hey I am unable to download go sms through my phone due to some server error. I used to download it on pc through your official site but now that also is not possible as you have redirected to android market. So I request you to atleast post the latest version of the app in this thread so that people like me would be able to download directly to pc.
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
From the main go sms page (where all your conversions are listed) swipe to the page on the right and it will show the plug-ins available. Click on sms widget and it will take you to the market download
[Android Apps and Games] nalab1:
Hi Isadora! Thanks for that! :)
[Android Apps and Games] 1meanrex:
Just to clarify on that a little bit you will need to make sure your in pro mode or all the swiping in the world wont bring that menu up.
[Android Apps and Games] Brian Rubin:
Hey guys, how are ya? I'm writing because I've been having some odd trouble with GO SMS Pro of late on my rooted HTC EVO running one of the latest Cyanogen nightlies. In the past few days, I've had to reboot my phone twice because, when using GO SMS Pro, the phone has slowed down to the point where it's almost unresponsive. Trying to type a message is a hassle because the slightest keypress not only results in a several second delay, but also then holds the key down too long, resulting in an alternative character instead of the letter I wanted.

I love this program and don't want to switch back, but I'm tired of this issue, and haven't been able to find a solution. Does any of y'all have any suggestions as to how I might be able to fix this? Thanks!

If you are not using the latest version v3.59, please try it. otherwise, I have no more suggestion, and I don't receive such feedback from other users, you need to check your phone and ROM, Thanks.

is the high CPU fix included in the 3.59 update or should we just continue using the apk with fix provided a few posts back ?

[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
GO Dev team, you have already seen this with some previous updates, but I should give you a friendly warning: when you make drastic UI/feature changes without giving any option to revert to the original, a lot of people will be unhappy!

I do not use GO SMS widgets so this hasn't affected me, but this is not something you should keep doing!

I've even tried APK Manager, decompiling the widget apk, replacing the icon, compiling, and signing, but this way it just won't install...
[Android Apps and Games] :
I stopped using Go SMS Pro when I got the EVO 3d because the stock SMS app shows the number of unread messages on its icon and Go SMS does not clear that number so you still have to open up the stock app just to clear the unread messages number :(

I miss the Go SMS features

Does anyone know a way to disable the stock Sense 3.0 new message number on the icon?

[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Handcent just received an update today and I decided to try it out for the first time in months. My reaction: WOW! Handcent has really gotten their act together, and many aspects have been improved: it seems to be much faster than before and just as fast as GO SMS Pro (app opening speed, conversation loading speed, popup opening animation, popup closing animation + notification dismissal), popups became smart like GO SMS Pro (only showing when the app is not in view), and of course Handcent has every possible UI option you can ask for (literally about double the amount of options as GO SMS Pro including options for: disable emoticons/smileys, remove quick add buttons, remove big text editor button, etc.). In my eyes the only thing GO SMS Pro has that Handcent doesn't is free settings backup. While that is a nice feature, it's nothing Titanium Backup can't do anyway.

This is not specifically a jab at GO SMS Pro. All I want to say is, to those who ditched Handcent due to previous application performance and feeling GO SMS Pro is lacking in customization, Handcent is worth a try again.

Also, what happened to the GO SMS Pro Settings > Important Tips > silence GO SMS Pro (but enable updates)?
[Android Apps and Games] gpz1100:
I wonder if they finally fixed their wakelock issues... Wakelock results if you don't acknowledge a text, and the led continues blinking.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Good call, I will test that now and report back.

Update: I left myself a text message unattended on my phone for 1 hour, and Gingerbread's Battery usage indicates that my phone has NOT been awake during the past hour, and my Battery Monitor Widget app shows pretty normal battery drain (~36 mA) during that time, and FWIW my battery % did not drop by a single % in that hour.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks a lot :)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Err, I was actually testing the supposed wake-lock issue in Handcent, not GO SMS Pro :o
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I took another look at Handcent and came running back. Waaaay too over cluttered with uselessness for my personal tastes. It ran fine for the 30 minutes I had it.

Glad to be back with Go SMS again.

Sensible configuration, speed, reasonable size, stability, and constant improvements. Sounds good to me.
