Happyllj thanks for your great job!

I'll follow the progress :)

Tnx tnx tnx :)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
No problem! I love being able to communicate directly to responsive developers to give and receive feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] chucky80:
Your product is nothing but awesomeness! Thanks a million.
[Android Apps and Games] shauder:
Could not be said better
[Android Apps and Games] Alpha Male82:
Great app!!!!. Sticking to it.

Is there anyway you can apply a security/privacy setting?
[Android Apps and Games] RMCO:
Started using this and so far so good. Love that it's actually a stripped down fast and functional SMS app. Exactly what I was looking for. Only issues I've seen so far...

Inbox has slight hesitation/lag if you attempt to scroll too quickly through a large list of messages immediately upon opening.

I don't care for the emoticons. I would like to see the androids brought back. Not really an issue, I know.

I'll throw my hat in the ring and ask for a privacy setting as well. How about an ability to hide individual SMS threads. Not sure if that's possible but it would be a slick feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Yannn:
for me, it doesn't receve MMS message ! why ? settings ???

Contacts list enhancement?

Hi!

I'm a really new GO Sms user and I like it very much, but it seems I have found an issue which made this application hard to use for many of the non-English speaking users.

When you create a new Sms and open the GO Sms Contacts (by clicking the Plus sign near the To: input field) the contacts list is displayed with vertical English alphabet on the right part of the screen. But my contacts are mostly in Russian - so it is almost impossible to use this alphabet to scroll the contacts.

Can you, please, compile the alphabet dynamically of the first letters of the names available in the Contacts list? This is the way the default Android 2.2 Contact list is working.

Should I post some screenshots to illustrate the problem?

Thank you!..
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks a lot for the comments, please post some screenshots, Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, more themes are coming, and privacy setting is in plan.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, no addtion MMS setting in GO Sms. To ensure your system setting for MMS is correct, please make sure that your builtin SMS app can receive MMS message,
[Android Apps and Games] Valery_Kondakoff:
Here are two screenshots (attached, as I'm not allowed to post external URLs by the forum rules).

First is GO Sms Contact list. As you see, the alphabet scrolling is useless, because there are no list entries with English letters.

Second is Android 2.2 Contact list with alphabet compiled of first letters of the names available in list. As you see, there are English and Russian letters, so it is easy to scroll to specific contact. There is an option to sort Contacts by First or Last name.
[Android Apps and Games] MrBusiness:
Hi, I really like the app but here is what could be fixed:

1) Incoming SMS does not light up my screen. If I hear the vibration I can unlock it and see the pop up, but would be nice to turn the lights on!

2) If I write a quick reply in the pop up the first word is not automatic capitalized. Same after dots or exclamation marks

Everything is fine in the app itself!

3) If I write a quick reply in the pop up my keyboard is loaded with “enter” key, in the app itself my keyboard is loaded with “smiley” button. An option to choose would be perfect.

4) As others told you, a very long list of conversations will end in very poor scrolling performance. Worse than stock SMS Application.

Samsung Galaxy S, Froyo, tested with different keyboards

Looking forward to an update.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I am used to this from Handcent and it would be great if GO SMS had this too!
[Android Apps and Games] QUEDRO:
it's quick!

Wow!! This is so fast and smooth!! Love it!

Handcent is about to go....

Suggestions: I like the themes, good job, but Go Theme and Iphone need some more contrast between colors. I would do the same background for Go Theme a lil bit lighter and maybe add more contrast to bubble color. The idea is that income text should catch attention 1st !

Also text size WOULD WONDERFUL!
[Android Apps and Games] Crussader:
a tiny bug...

"Sent notifictions" in settings ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gorneman:
This is my idea of sms app should be.

If you modify the app to show a conversation in a "simple list" layout like in the stock app (I don't like bubbles) i'll translate the app into italian language. (This is not a blackmail :) )
[Android Apps and Games] ZiCoN:
Great app :)

Wishlist:

Being able to customize LED colors and LED speeds for notification

Unread count on icon (has been mentioned)

More themes (or being able to customize bubble colors... HATE the iPhone green, but love the theme)

All in all..... double thumbs up from DK :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
hi,

if i use your app, is possible to delete stock mms.apk or your app uses it ?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] Roscopcoletrain:
odd, about half of my facebook contact pics started to work. the rest still dont
[Android Apps and Games] JMQUINT00:
using 1.4 and i have to say very nice, no glitches no nothing its works very smoothly and the popups are awesome. Maybe a few seasonal skins in the future? good job on the app

Evo all stock
[Android Apps and Games] Mixomaniak:
I don't know if anyone mentioned that problem, but here is situation with my Wildfire and GoSMS.

After I install it, it's all ok(all options work, themes can be changed with no problem), but after second program start and try to change theme I get "An unexpected error caused the program to stop..." etc.

Anyone had similar problem :)? Everything else works fine, only theme changing cause program to crash:)
[Android Apps and Games] ccctexas:
PopUps

Any new features are just making a very good app even better. However, I have an problem on an EVO with the popup. It pops, then disappears in about 2 seconds. I have adjusted all the adjustments in the program, I have removed Widgetlocker and tried it under Sense UI alone...no change. Handcent and ChompSMS both work. So..I currently have SMS Popup running, popups disable on GO SMS and can see the popups (oh, SMS Popup works, too) - but, of course, I lose the nice colorful/themed interface and the ability to directly reply using GO SMS -

On a related matter, I thought about changing the default messaging app so SMS Popup would invoke GO SMS, but I also cannot change the "default" messaging app, the "default" option is grayed out in the settings field.

With all three of the other popup apps working, I have to assume this is a GO SMS issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ccctexas:
You are running on an EVO with no popup issues? How long does your "stay open" - I can get other popups to work, not GO.
[Android Apps and Games] SimpTheChimp:
For some strange reason, I keep getting pop-ups with the new release even though I have pop-ups disabled in Go SMS. I am going to try to reinstall it, but any ideas as to why that is occurring?

/Tom
[Android Apps and Games] tehloxely:
This is still what I'm hoping for:

- To create themes.

- To create custom smiley sets.

- The Faceook icon overlapping contact picture is still incredibly super-small.
[Android Apps and Games] Alegis:
Making them transparent still makes the conversation style annoying: jumping from right to left indentation, not using the full screen width.

Not to mention you don't have separate background colors that way (like white and green in the next screenshot)

Flat convo style:
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
I'm getting very poor (laggish) performance scrolling discussions with not that much messages (>100)... (on a nexus one...)

in certain cases it even keep jumping to the end while scrolling :/
[Android Apps and Games] DarkShadowAy:
I also have this issue and it's an annoyance I must say.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Why the developer suddenly MIA when he normally comes in and reply to messages here once a day? :o New Year holiday? :D
[Android Apps and Games] mudkor:
Contacts

I downloaded go sms and got all my social network contacts in my phone now, is there a way to chane that so I have who I want to have and not 200 people
[Android Apps and Games] kantbstopped519:
how do u get separate background colors like that?

wait uhh is that even go sms? lol
[Android Apps and Games] Alegis:
It's not from go sms, but someone asked for an example of 'flat conversation style'.
[Android Apps and Games] hosion:
Once I close the app process, and restart the app, it would revert to default theme losing my custom setting, such as background, font and etc. Thanks!

Galaxy S, 2.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] makii187:
post APK please!
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
The only things why i am still useing Handcent:

* No Remind Function for Missed SMS. In Handcent you can set "every X Minutes, 5 Times for Example)

* Customization of Date/Time was not possible in 1.38 (in Conversation View)

Is this planned?
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Not everyone is as free as you...people have to code updates to the apps, not as simple as posting in the forums. :D
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
For the first one, sure, in plan

for the second, I don't get what you mean, please detail it.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
None bug, will fix soon.thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Hehe alright! :D
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
We have reproduced this issue, will fix, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Uninstall new year theme, reinstall GO SMS, please try, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please help to comment bellows post concerning the popup in EVO, thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I have been receiving empty texts from unknown sources. This just started happening with the newest release.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
For my opion, the popup is too simple to use. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
Thanks for your fast reply!

Sorry for talking **** :D i can setup time/date in conversation view.

Forget Point 2 and get new ones:

*conversation view: i cannot setup - or am too stupid to - the "XYZ said"-Part. i am useing default conversation style, and in first line there is: "5. Jan, 11:09 XYZ said:". in my case this is not needed because of different colors and fonts configured. The "XYZ said" part has a bigger font than the others choosen and looks therefore little bit bad :)

* in inbox view: in austria/germany the date is written as "dd.mm.yyyy" not "mm/dd". This would be nice in inbox view if the system settings were taken.

another suggestion:

please never change the vibrate behaviour like handcent did. it works fine with go sms. (the point that go sms vibrates if vibrate is activated, or not if not) I am useing some profile managers which are changing vibrate in different situations. all apps should handle my configured settings. go sms does, handcent since the latest version not. they only ask if "vibrate only" is checked, and interact on this. bad idea... :)

greetings!
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks. if anyone can help to recommend GO SMS to lifehacker, that is great thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] zof9i6:
go sms, i love the customization but im missing alot of incoming or outgoing. this person say she text me alot n i didnt recieve half of it. n i text her alot n she didnt recieve half of it too. i was wondering same thing to her y she didnt text back or she as to y i didnt text back. i did disable notification from stock sms n also deleted it too
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
How about the customisation of vibrate duration? :o
[Android Apps and Games] kashifsiddique:
Can you add a feature that allows you to change the default MMS sending size like in Hanscent!

My pictures I am sending keep auto resizing to 15-40kb, it's so annoying. When I tried it with Hanscent it will send the full size which is much, much better!

Please implement this!
[Android Apps and Games] twistedelegance:
I have the same problem, each time I quit the app, the theme is reverted to the GO theme and it is quite annoying....
[Android Apps and Games] diSke:
I love the app.

I like the pop-up more then that from handcent and the overall look and feel of the app.

One thing I would like to adress...

I'm using an HTC Desire, rooted, Leedroid 2.3c Custom ROM.

I have about 17 conversations that the app manages AMAZING!

But it has problems with 1 conversation. It has 4125 messages in it and

other then Handcent, GO SMS doesn't seem to be able to load it quickly.

When I get in the conversation it takes about 7 to 8 seconds before I even see

one text bubble. It then takes 6 to 7 seconds to BEGIN to scroll and it lags

extremely hard! Is it perhaps possible that you "copy" the idea of handcent?

It only loads the last 50 messages and with a button you can load the previous 50 and so on.

It would be better for speed and performance!

Thanks in advance guys, you've made an amazing app!
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
+1 Just started noticing this as well. Any images are extremely blurry when sent, I assume because of the size cap?
[Android Apps and Games] clark1ra:
Does anyone else have an issue with the icon on the home screen? The problem is that when it first installed it had an icon that was the green GO icon. Then all of a sudden it switched to the stock messaging icon. If I delete the icon and add it back to the home screen it displays properly for a second and then switches back to the stock icon.

really like this app looking forward to future updates.

[Android Apps and Games] wierdo124:
If you read back, I already complained about this and it's under development. I have the same problem except many conversations with 6000+ texts.

Sent from my etch a sketch
[Android Apps and Games] jonathon.l:
I periodically have an issue where when I am trying to compose a text, the characters that I am typing will not appear. I switched between several keyboards (Swiftkey, 8pen, gingerbread) and nothing I would type would show up in the textbox. I ended up restarting my phone and then it worked normally.
[Android Apps and Games] skylite:
I encounter this issue too.

For my case, what happens is I receive an sms (with the pop-up) and tries to reply on the popup with Swype keyboard. Nothing happens after I Swype my first word and changing keyboard on the popup doesn't work (Either it doesn't change or the keyboard changes but I am still unable to reply). I have to enter the main app itself to reply to the sms.

HTC Desire 2.2

Edit: Also I notice that if you have snowflakes enabled, the amount of snow will seem to have doubled when u exit from a conversation back to the inbox. This slows done the performance of the client. The amount of snow when opening the app for the first time is all right. It only doubles when u enter and exit a conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
I have the same issue here. But not only with theme, also my settings are reverted to original.
[Android Apps and Games] kantbstopped519:
Great app, I didn't think i'd stop using the default sms app after trying apps like handcent or chompsms but I tried go sms and it was better than the others

I still kant see Facebook contact pictures though, I have a G2.

& I'd like to be able to customize the color of the theme like the top part where it says Inbox, and to have the Flat look on each of the themes instead of just the Dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] stylz:
Awesome sms app, my favourite so far

But my one problem that I'm having is that I can't remove the smiley faces and have three return key there for some reason, I'm using swype on galaxy s with 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
I cannot receive pictures or send them out. When i send them out, the sending animation just keeps animating. FOrever. ChompSMS works and stock MMS.
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
if you disable the start of the official android messages applications when receiving an sms (you can use autostarts to do this) gosms is unable to show the notification on the status bar... it just shows the popup...

handcent is able to show both the popup and the notification even with messages stopped

is there a specific reason?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
When we tap Quick Compose, can GO SMS automatically focus on the "To" bar and that the keyboard popups so we can quickly search for the name of the person we are going to sms?
[Android Apps and Games] deiisel:
hey posted earlier, don't know if you saw it or not but how come my contact pictures do not show up. its just a gray default picture. I notice in the screenshots you have contact pictures. I am using android 1.6 and there is no option of Facebook sync. can you possibly fix this issue. thanks for your time. great app btw.
[Android Apps and Games] ahhazazi:
hi.. nice sms apps! my fav so far, but can add feature like delivery report?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
Just a quick note in regards to the widget. There is a black background behind the GO sms text. This makes the widget stand out from all the other apps on the home screens. I don't know if this is only me but I would prefer that the widget looks like the original app icon.

Up to you to decide what you think is best.

Loving the unread count though. Looks very good.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Excellent French translation guys. If help is needed in the future for that, don't hesitate to ask me...:p
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
Unfortunately no german translation in this release.

If you guys need help for this, let me know.

By the way, my fav sms app so far :)
[Android Apps and Games] kashifsiddique:
Thank you so much for adding the max MMS size feature, but I cannot get it to work.

It was set to 1M by default, so I tried sending a MMS ~800KB and it was re-sized to 41KB just like it use to before when I viewed the size of the image sending to myself in both sent and received.

I also tried setting the limit to 300K and sending a ~270KB MMS and it came as 21KB also just like it use to before :(
[Android Apps and Games] aaronpoweruser:
Only thing missing is reminders for unread text in call notifications and maybe individual contact settings
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
Still losing all settings and theme after a while. :-(
[Android Apps and Games] SayWhat10:
same here, sending animation keeps animating

stock works fine tho
[Android Apps and Games] rob77:
Hi I'm new to android with a nexus S (I was a long time iphone user) but am loving go sms. I use all the time now and is my default. A couple of things which would be nice to see are:

Customised sms tones for each contact

An option to play just a sound when messages are sent. I know notification sent is there but just the sound would do for me without the notification at the top of the screen.

A sms reminder notification which can be set for a number of times and how long in between each one.

Keep up the good work guys :)
[Android Apps and Games] Globespy:
Why does GoSMS notify me of Facebook messages?

Firstly, I really like this SMS app and moved recently from Chomp.

I've noticed that it's giving me notification (I choose just notification bar instead of pop-ups) of new Facebook messages, which is really strange!

I installed the Android Facebook app just after I installed GoSMS so wondered if it was a program defaults issue....so I cleared defaults for both programs but that did not help. So I uninstalled both programs and then installed them again, but the problem still exists.

I've never had this issue with the stock SMS/Chomp so wondered if anyone can chime in with some advice as I would like to stick with Go SMS.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I don't think there is any way for Go SMS (or any other SMS) to give you notifications for a program unless that service is sending you a text message. Are you sure in Facebook (check on the main site) you don't have mobile text message notifications enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Globespy:
Thank you!!! This was exactly correct! I didn't realize that installing the Facebook mobile app automatically set up a bunch of Facebook mobile notifications.

I've logged in and unchecked them all again :)
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You're welcome. :) Glad all is well again.
[Android Apps and Games] fragglesrock:
Long SMS / MMS

Love this app and just got the 1.5 update, Handcent is gone forever for me I think.

However I have a couple of small queries.

Sending long SMS messages over 160 characters, if the split long messages options is NOT set in settings, the message immediately fails to send, even though my carrier supports longer messages.

If Split 160 IS set, messages arrive in a random order, eg a 6 part message was received 3/6, 1/6, 6/6, 2/6, 4/6, 5/6 !!!

I appreciate this may be as much about how the carrier deals with the messages but perhaps a short delay between sending parts would work?

I would love the option to force messages to send as MMS rather than SMS either globally (ie always send MMS - this is actually cheaper when roaming on my carrier) or on a message by message basis, i.e. a Send as MMS option.

The other features I miss from other messaging apps:

1. Message scheduling, ie. send at a specified time.

2. Send to a GMAIL group (these don't show up in the GROUPS list)

Also here Vibrate doesn't work on notification.

This is running on a Nexus 1 Android 2.2 with MicroMods HD 1.6 ROM

Keep up the good work, very much appreciate the updates and active development.

[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
what about giving the possibility to disable status "notification bar" notifications without completely disabling vibration/sound?

having the popus in place (and adwnotifier) it not very usefull to have also the notification bar :)
[Android Apps and Games] walk.away:
just installed the new 1.5 update, had an issue where contacts wouldn't load when clicking the "+" button on the new message contacts list. quick reboot fixed it.

great app, looks fantastic works like a dream.

the built in contacts menu is an awesome looking thing. any plans on making a fully fledged GO Contacts app? Maybe with facebook integration etc?
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
scrolling is quite problematic... expecially on the recent list... (having just 2k sms stored) it lags a lot :(
[Android Apps and Games] alexthearmo:
I really like this app, but I had to uninstall and go back to handcent because Go SMS has some weird problems when sending group messages. First of all, when I go to the group list, none of my google group contacts are there. When I manually added them to a new group, and sent that group an SMS, the message only was sent to a few of the people...not all of them.

So, because of this, I will stick to handcent. I hope that Go SMS can fix this, because I actually like this app better...but I can't be without my group messages. Please fix! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lordmuggins:
"Message not sent. Review and try later."

Fine, but HOW do i resend????
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Long press, select edit and it will retype what you sent, then just hit send.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
That needs to be more clear. I requested that 'Resend' be added to the long press menu but so far no joy.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
That's fine. I wasn't advertising that it was ideal... I was answering a question on how to do something.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Oh, I know, I was just zooing off your post and the one above to make my point again - nothing bad meant by it! :)
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
I just updated my Youlu address book, it came with a seperate sms client (which is ridiculous) - though the client is mostly worthless, I noticed that when you send a message, there's a pretty nifty animation that moves the text from the field to the thread.

Looks cool. Have you thought about adding such a feature?
