Hi. Quick question that i cannot find the answer to.

I have been using Go sms since i first saw the posts on XDA. and noticed the similarities to the MIUI native sms client. I have used it on various roms without problems. Recently i have changed (on my HTC Desire) to a gingerbread (2.3.2) ASOP rom. since this i cannot get the contacts to display their respective pictures even though my standard contacts have been linked to facebook sync and so display the pics when receiving a call. in the native android sms and in contacts.

Is it something to do with GO sms picking up the numbers from my sim rather than from the phone

Any ideas?

What is the difference between the 2 backup formats (binary and xml)?

I would think that binary is very simple and xml is more advanced but there is no particular layout in SMS (?) so I'm a bit confused. Could someone please clarify?

Is one of these formats safer than the other to make sure the restore will be okay?

If you want a free SMS service, get a google voice account and use the google voice android app to send/receive texts.

Contact List?

I just re-installed GO and am pleased to see the MMS function is working properly on my phone now. I am a little confused with the contact list in GO though. After installing GO and it importing my contacts, I noticed it also added email addresses for just about every person I have ever emailed. None of the email addresses are in my phone or gmail contact lists.

Any ideas on this? Can I filter them out somehow?

Thanks,

-JC

Liking Go SMS, however after going from ChompSMS to Handcent, still looking for a couple improvements:

> after notifying dev, he made groups better, but groups still loads slow and sometimes FC & each category needs to show how many entries in each category

> need a 'mark as Unread' option for messages in conversations

> be nice to have better photo support in conversations

> last message(s)/instant reply widget

almost there, keep it up....

btw, really enjoying Go Launcher EX!

I have a problem:

The messages that appeared on the pop up winded never saved in the thread. Those mesage are gone after replying or closing the pop up window.

I tried to disable the pop up window, that just make me miss all the text all together.

I am on a tmobile us HD2. Running froyo on NAND.

I did delete the stock android sms app.

Beginning with 1.69, my vibrations when messages were sent had stopped. Now no matter what I do, I cannot get back the vibrations when sending. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
Go SMS feeds messages in from stock SMS, so you need the stock for it to function correctly. I forget where I saw it mentioned, but they should probably put it in their tip section, since it seems a lot of people freeze or delete the stock app and then have problems.

P.S. I don't know if "feeds messages in" is the best way to say it, someone with better understanding can probably explain exactly what it does better. The point is that you can't delete the stock sms.

With v1.70 I've noticed timestamps are all off. I'll get a text and it will be stamped say 9:21 when it's actually 9:20 then when I reply to that message it goes before that message because my response will be 9:20 so reading through threads becomes confusing. Anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: Actually I've noticed that even if the received message is say 9:21 my response at 9:21 will go before it. Very strange and very confusing when trying to read through a conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] leejf:
Hi, I don't know if someone can help me here...

I uninstalled GO SMS from my HTC Hero today because it was even more laggy when sending messages than Handcent, and ALL my messages were deleted after the uninstall!!!

What I don't get is how all the messages were deleted so quickly when it takes such a long time to delete messages manually :confused:

Does this mean the messages weren't really deleted and are just "hidden" somewhere OR that my messages were really deleted and I will never be able to recover them? If it's the latter, I give 2 big thumbs down to this app. I used to complain about handcent being slow and ugly, but now I really appreciate it's stability (never ever forced close on me). :(
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
I saw one of these comments in the Android Marketplace. Same thing is happening to me, I'm on a HTC Desire HD too.

EDIT

What phone do you have? The same thing happens with me. Very annoying. Have you tried the option released in the latest version? You can choose to sort messages based on order sent/received.

The only thing flawed about that is that the timestamps are still wrong.

For example.

MSG : 9:21

MSG REPLY: 9:20

So the order is correct but the timestamps are wrong.

This is probably a stupid question, but would there be a way to add a setting that would allow you to use 2 different keyboards depending on orientation?

I like using swype in portrait, but don't like it so much in landscape, so it would be very cool if I could set it to use one keyboard in portrait, and one in landscape.

Not even really sure if this is something that can be done, or if a messaging app could do it, but you guys are so very responsive to requests, I thought I'd at least ask.

All of your apps are awesome!!! Thanks so much for them!!
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
I have the exact same situation, swype in portrait, stock in landscape on Droid2. The only way I've seen it can be done is using Keyboard Manager which is from ne0fhyk here on xda. Note, you have to have rooted your phone for it to work.

I use it, and it works quite well for me.

I turn off my phone at 1pm. A sms was sent to my phone at 1.30pm. When I turn on my phone at 3pm, the sms was received but the time stamp was 3pm. Can the app be set to show that the sms was sent at 1.30pm?

Issues with GoSms

Hi,

I have been using GoSms for a couple weeks. First off, I love a lot of things about it. LOVE that I can choose a different font to use! And it's very fast. And I like the different themes. And that I can customize it so many ways.

BUT... it is unstable. :( A week ago I pushed send on a message, the app forced closed, and when I went back in, all my messages were gone!! I looked in the stack trace that was generated, and I see this error:

database disk image is malformed\:

I don't believe it actually deleted anything, because it was instantaneous and I had over 2000 messages. But now my database is corrupt so even the built-in app can't read them. It really sucks. :(

Plus -- it has crashed a few other times as well. I have the Samsung Epic, and I use the keyboard to compose a message. I hit send, and then I close the keyboard. Twice when I close the keyboard, the app has crashed. In these instances, though, I did not lose my messages.

My phone will also just randomly crash sometimes. I am not actually in GoSms at the time, but at least once it was right after a message came in. My phone never crashed before, so I am thinking it's this app.

My other issue is that I emailed the developer about this a week ago and didn't hear one word back. So much for responsive. :(

As of now, I'm still using GoSms and have my messages being backed up every day. But if the crashes keep happening and I lose messages again, the cons will outweigh the pros and I will have to go with something else.

I have a question related to all this -- I was trying to confirm that it's GoSms that is causing the random crashes. I was looking for a crash logger. The best I could find was aLogCat. But it seems that the log gets cleared with a reboot. So when I start up again, I can't see what caused the crash. Is there anything out there that will keep the log around so I can see what crashed? Or better yet, be triggered by a crash and then report when it happens. I had a great app like that for my Nokia phone, can't believe there isn't one for Android.

Thanks.

+1 Same on X10i. Some mobile operators require sending of empty SMS messages to specific short numbers in order to activate/deactivate certain features. GO SMS doesn't support this. (A 'space' character won't do.) Can this be fixed or is there some setting which I have overlooked?
[Android Apps and Games] xSunny:
Umm one problem ive noticed with the new update.. Is that when i try to backup my sms's it gives me a check memory card error so idk how i can fix that but yeah i would def like that to be fixed since i do switch a buncha roms =]

bug report:

if go sms is protected using its privacy feature(pattern/lock) the new widget also asks for unlock pattern(which is a nice feature) but the problem is that it only asks first time then the widget always remains open.Even if you turn off the screen and then turn on still the widget remains open. it should be locked when the screen turns off
[Android Apps and Games] chuchu19:
My older phones from samsung and se can capture the sms(time) at 1.30pm, but both not runnin on android. Perhaps its android software. Btw, using SGS now.
[Android Apps and Games] Sian:
Not sure whether this has been reported:

Sometimes with the pop up screen, if I do not reply immediately (or the screen got switch off), when I try to type in the pop up screen, I can't do so. Not sure whether this is cause by the app or something else.

Also, I notice sometimes the customisation for the specific number will not come up i.e. alert tone & icon, but the default one was shown instead.

Hi,

I'm using this app for a week now. I would say it was awesome and easy to use. I'm using this app rather than using Handcent. I just want you to know some of my issues that i encounterd.

1. Popup sometimes failed to get the phone setting (landscape, portrait)

2. Popup sometimes didn't appear even i checked it to settings.

Request:

1. Text to Speech functionality.

2. Can read (using TTS) the incoming text message. :)

Thanks and more power!

Mobile contacts only

When I go to select contacts, I would like to see only those with mobile phones. I can't find the option to set this. I've seen it in other sms apps.

Basically, If I'm text, I'm only interested in contacts with mobile cell phones that text back.

Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] x0149128:
Dark theme is the only decent non-speach bubble style theme.

However the setting to change the incomming colour and outgoing colour don't work.

If you change the background from black, then you can no longer read the time stamp or who the message was sent from, as this text is white with no option to change it.

It's almost there, but not quite.

I'd like to see a customisable theme based on the stock app.
[Android Apps and Games] jdmitr:
Just installed and I love it! The only thing that is keeping it from being perfect in my opinion is now I dont have an unread count on my custom icon.

[Android Apps and Games] cumanzor:
Yup, the pop up implementation has been acting out for me too. Two updates ago it was working perfectly. Now I has this issue if I answer an sms from the pop up window, it creates a new thread in the sms list. It's nothing major but it sure tingles my OCD. :rolleyes:

Go SMS

Hello PDA Developer,

I have to say with many Android sms apps out there this software app "Go SMS" is an excellent program outside of one feature I have yet to find and that is the notification option to have notifications come thru via sound while on a call with someone. I know a program called sms popup has an option called "notify on call" which I'm currently using in conjunction with your program go sms, for me would like to eliminate using a different sms program and this is something we could have added by an update would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, Jason. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jlip5617:

Choosing Red for your LED color will give you something close to amber. Like you though, changing the blink rate has no effect on my Evo either.

do you guys like this better than handcent?
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I ditched Handcent about 2 weeks ago for this cause everyone talked it up like crazy and while I do love it, I am thinking of going back to HC. We will see though. I am gonna give it a good while. Handcent took me a tiny bit to get used to as well. It was something different and we all know change can be tough at first sometimes. lol
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Why does people prefer Handcent over ChompSMS then? :o

Please add option to convert Unicode characters...

This is a great application. But...

Please add the option to automatically convert Unicode characters, so it does not reduce the total characters of the SMS.

Putting accents (áíóú) in the letters "a ", "i ", "o" and "u ", the total of characters available for SMS are reduced from 160 to 70!
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Why is there another v1.80 update? :o
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:

Same thing happened on mine.

Another couple of bugs I found.

1. If you press the Home button on phone then reopen GO SMS, it doesn't ask for pass key. If you press back and then try to reopen, it asks for it.

2. I have been trying to set custom notifications for a group but it doesn't seem to work. The individual notifications work for single contacts though.

Same here too!

another request:

please put the counter of send messages in inbox list.

just updated to 1.8. this version has the option to lock widget but still it does not lock itself after turning screen off.

Please add invisible pattern lock feature.

[Android Apps and Games] spacecase-25:
Doesn't work well with SNS contacts (google contacts sync). Very often it will just show the phone number of the contact rather than their name. Hand cent does not have this issue. I seems to happen with contacts that either have multiple numbers or are linked to multiple SNS accounts; I can't say for sure that this is what's causing the bug, but it may be something worth looking into.

--Thanks.

Notification Ringtone

Hi,

My Issue is this. When I set a ringtone from system ringtones, it plays when I recieve an SMS, when I set a ringtone from the handcent ringtone picker, it plays, but when I select a ringtone from the music section of Go SMS, it won't play when I recieve a text, even when i test the notification, it vibrates, the LED flashes, but no sound. I even uninstalled Handcent just to make sure it wasn't conflict causing it, and it still didn't work.

I think I'm switching back to handcent till this is fixed, but asides that, GREAT APP.

Landscape bug.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before as I don't have time to read all 127 pages of this thread, but I have a droid2 and the glitch from the attached screenshots happens with the popup notification. If I get a popup in portrait mode and switch to landscape mode, the popup window rotates and shows fine. If i get a popup in portrait mode and then tap on the input box to type so that the keyboard comes up, and then switch to landscape mode, the popup window gets stuck at the top of the screen half cut off, as shown in the second screenshot. This does not happen with the regular keyboard, but does happen when I'm using swiftkey as a keyboard, which is my primary input. Maybe because on the screen it is taller than the regular android keyboard? Either way, perhaps this bug could get fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] xennr3:
hi

Some weeks ago I was using go sms but changed back to handcent because of a big bug in my opinion.
