Uninstalled Handacent and I am still getting duplicate messages. Was able to get rid of the duplicate notifications going through the quick tips but I am still receiving two of every received messages in GoSMS. Any other ideas?

I have noticed that when I use the security lock feature(pattern) it will always ask for the password when using the desktop icon, but when you get a notification of a new message in the notification bar, it will only ask for the password sometimes, other times it will let you go straight into go sms... is there any way to fix this so it will always ask for a password with messages in the notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] Tremium:
That's already implemented.

In Go SMS: swipe to the left side of the screen (Folders) and there it is.

encrypt entire thread

Is there a way to encrypt an entire thread?? I have particular contact threads encrypted by password, but when i open the default messaging app, the threads are no longer encrypted. is there a way to encrypt individual threads even from the built in messaging apps?? this feature was available on handecent, and was one of the biggest things i loved about that program. thanks.

Hi, issue.

Coming from HandCent, I have unlock screen checked, but it doesn't do it.

It makes the unlock sound and lights up the screen, but it just shows the unlock screen (where you draw the pattern).

Any advice? It worked perfect on HandCent.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
This feature is on the way, Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Ohhhh, I see. I agree -- very annoying that you have to press the Reply button to be able to type which removes the person's text to you.

I'm using GO SMS's popup now but unfortunately if someone texts me, my screen turns on and off without me replying, the notification will be removed and the LED won't be on. This is only a problem with GO SMS's popup though. Everything else works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Graph.Two:
Idk if anyone has this issue but sometimes when the message fails to send it notifys you with a small yellow triangle in the corner of the message. My question is how do we get it to resend?? I've pressed the yellow triangle multiples of times and eventually got it to resend. But is that how you even do it?? Cause if it is would it be possible to upsize it a bit? My fingers have a hard time getting to it.

[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
It restries 5 times automatically I believe but if you want to manually resend it, just long-press on it, copy message text, paste in message box at the bottom.

It's very nice and I'm looking forward to seeing some improvements. I just wish there were a theme that didn't use bubbles. I prefer a more IM-like interface with basic rows.

Keeps freezing up and force closing here. Motorola Droid with UD2.3. Chomp runs fine. I do have tons of texts (about 30,000 total) but Chomp handles it with ease. The stock MMS app freezes up. It does open the main page (takes a while) but when i click a conversation it freezes no matter if it's a 5,000 SMS thread or a 2 SMS thread. I do hate Chomp and Handcent, and want an alternative. I will even happily donate if it gets fast enough to be usable.

Downloaded this app and looks great. Have not been able to send any messages. Using 1.6 rooted and have turned off notification and still unsuccessful. Not sure what the default SMS app is but have been using Google Voice so far. What am I missing here or will it work without having a phone. Would like to use this nice app as my default for SMS. Could you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I have a request, can you guys make the pop-up to show only when the lock screen is activated? I dont want it to wake up the phone, either. Just display the pop-up after I wake my phone up and after I unlock the phone.

Thanks!

HTC Hero

Hey,

Just wanted to first say this is a great app in its beginning. Can really put Handcent and Chomp out of it wants to.

I will say though i've had trouble with not knowing i receive text messages because it won't ring/notify me. It notifies like 70% of the time, but its annoying that it doesn't catch everything. Might just be me I dunno.

Another thing is it's lagging my keyboard (Swype) Not sure if this is related to maybe the ROM i'm running (Vanilla CM6 December build) but just seems like my keyboard is extremely lagged while using GoS.

Other than those minor bugs, which i'm sure will be fixed soon. Works great and is my daily messaging app.

[Android Apps and Games] theslime:
Why? I'm using Donut on an HTC Tattoo (rooted but with stock Sense ROM), and the contact pictures show just fine in both the standard SMS app ("Messages") and in Handcent - even the Facebook pictures that the stock contact list collected show fine. Why should Go SMS be any different, and what does 1.6/Donut have to do with it?

I love everything else about the app so far. Great work.

[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I agree. The new UI looks awfully cluttered now. And this contributes to the ongoing problem of not having enough UI options for things like this. I never used the paperclip button in the past, and it was easy to ignore. But now the bottom row is just a huge waste of space and makes for a distracting UI for my purposes.
[Android Apps and Games] ke3pup:
I love the new Big Editor option. Can you make it the default action when user taps to reply message or write new one or give user the option to make it the default action?

I hate the changes made in step 3. What waste my screen real state with functions i use %1 of the time? Give me the option to show/hide them or get rid of them please.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
I'm mixed about the changes, I like the larger reply but wish there was an option for it to be default instead of button press.. As to the buttons on the bottom, they stand out not being colored or themed, but I use swype and like someone else said its covered by the suggestion bar, so I don't see it often.. For me not a problem, but I don't use them very often.. Option to disable or old style for people who want it would be nice, but I just say color them

I used this program for it's simplicity, but now it's becoming over burdened with tons of features I don't think many people really enjoy. Not myself at least. :(
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
You should take the built-in battery usage stats with a grain of salt. For instance, in my situation 96% of my battery is being used by an app called Screebl but anyone who uses it knows it doesn't use any battery at all, and the developer confirmed that Android's built-in battery consumption stats is not well measured.

To get a better gauge of what is using battery, I recommend Spare Parts which has a very detailed Battery history function.

Is there a way to set limits on the number of messages per convo? The stock app did this, but my stock app was very buggy so I froze it. I'm using GoSMS alone and it works great, no bugs, I'm sending and receiving MMS just fine...but I just want an auto delete feature. Possible?

also, is it possible to theme the top bar in a conversation (the one that shows name, picture and call button)?

I've got a problem that has been bugging me for a while.

Before I change roms, I go to GOSMS settings and do a backup of all my messages. After changing Roms, I restore the messages. I then get a notification that I've got 84 or 88 or whatever number of unread messages. ... fine, no problem I understand this.

I then go to menu>more> Mark all Read. The next time I receive a message, again I get notification of having the 84 odd unread messages. How do I stop this?

Okay features that should definitely be added, as I've found out upon using GoSMS without the stock app:

1. Auto delete messages in conversations after a certain number is reached.

2. Choose where to save MMS to (I don't want them in that download folder with gosms, I want them with the rest of all my media...)

3. Enable us to theme the bar at the top of conversations with name and picture, etc.

The bottom row in the menu and in the conversation really is annoying to be honest. It is unnecessary just like the text input. Battery drain is an issue for me too, I'm using the latest version on my Captivate with Serendipity VII.

Conversation view/mode

I too have reverted back to 3.40. With 3.48, I was getting FC and it was laggy. Not to mention the bottom buttons and new big UI is stupid. At least give us an option to disable. I don't understand why the need for the bottom buttons. The paperclip button had everything.

Also, the bottom 3 buttons on the popup need to be moved or removed as they interfere with the send and text box. Look at handcent, their popup has nothing under the text box. Big send button, and the back button actually marks message as unread. No need for a "todo" button. And if I want to delete a message I'll go to the main conversation. Would open up a bunch of room.

I wish they would add option to set screen orientation. Our at least disable auto orientation. Many times while typing, if I move my phone ever so slightly it will change orientation messing up my typing, and pausing to change from portrait to landscape. Pain...

Can someone please reply to this next issue...

Why can't they program a way for it to return to the conversation?

What I mean is, I'll be sending texts to someone. Leave the app to go to another app, web, market, email, etc... Then, go back to GOsms and it returns back to the Message list. Not the way a text app is supposed to work. :mad: Actually, not the way multitasking is supposed to work. But I'll leave that for another day.

Coming from webos, it was so simple. Send text, flip up open new app, flip up, left/right to that same conversation. None of this "reloading" to main screen, select person, load, then text. Too much time...

I have sent emails to the devs of handcent and gosms. Also to some of the multitasking apps. I get no response to my request to have it return to conversation. Why? My current favorite is"Multitasking" it will return to conversation within i'd say ~20-30 minutes of leaving. But anything after it always returns to message list.

I also have "Wavelauncher" with GOsms set in it...no recent apps set. Just a plain old shortcut. Oddly, it ALWAYS returns to the conversation no matter the elapsed time.

If I could get the multitasking app to do this i'd be happy. That app has been the closest thing on android to mimmick webos. Close but still falls short with no visual card.

Still, i'd like to see gosms and handcent add an option to view in conversation or message list. I think pansi sms app has this option. Sadly it freezes my phone.

Please respond to this. I'd like to see who agrees with me.

So you don't use other apps at the same time? I'm always going back and forth to sometimes 3 apps. That could be about android closing it to recover memory. I have am EVO that is rooted on stock 2.2 rom. I don't think memory is the issue. It is the way these are designed with no thought of how a messaging app and you interact. Isn't that the point of multitasking, to return to the app the way you left it?
