It seems like this 1.68 update messed everything up!

* MMS being resized too small is still an issue, so can you increase the size in /res/xml/mms_config.xml in your app or allow the user to chose.

I found out that if I changed it to 1024x768 in the default Mms.apk it would make the picture bigger which increased the size from 20kb-40kb to 110-150kb which is better.

* Vibration stopped working for incoming text messages

* The Go SMS icon in notification bar keeps going to green instead of the color I picked.

* I disabled unread count, but it still shows

* Please allow us to go back to v1.60 for now :(

Hi! I had the same problem and after reboot my phone everything is ok :)
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
Tnx for that, maybe it's related to HTC Sense or Froyo 2.2... sad for me at the moment, cuz GOSms is unusable for that thread. :( Which of course is my main thread considering the number of msgs.
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
Ok good, that is interesting, so maybe it starts to lag around 3500-4000 msgs... Or some ROMs help not experiencing the issue. Like maybe CM6.1.

If the devs are reading this, can they give a try and see what they come up with?

tnx
[Android Apps and Games] :
anyone have an .apk for 1.60? all these bugs with 1.68 are really annoying, actually maybe even an older version because I think 1.60 also made the pics i received super small and crappy looking

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Marth05:
Privacy mode is also broken for me. Message content displays in the notification bar no matter what I do. This is a huge issue for me.

BackLightNotification

hey guys.

Is anyone having issues using Go sms and BLN app from Neldar? I get the backlightnotification working when using the default sms app. But nothing happens when using GO sms?

Anyone having this problem or is it just me? I have tried different kernels from hardcore and stil nothing happens.

By the way great freaking app. Keep up the good work:)

Short SMS-Strings and WebSMS

please add the feature for recognizing short smiley strings, eg. :) --> ": )" without space instead of :-)

thanks in advance!

I have the apk for 1.50 if people would like me to post it (and if that is permissible). Also, their website hosts the latest apk's, so maybe I should start downloading all of them to keep for backup.

I'm also experiencing the issues previously mentioned, and rebooting did not cure them.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
Rebooting didn't fix mine either. I downloaded Blink for the notifications for the time being.

Can we please go back to the prior version until the bugs in this are ironed out.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Phone won't vibrate anymore for me either. If a reboot doesn't fix it, I'm going to Titanium Backup back to 1.60.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
I just used TB to go back to 1.60.
[Android Apps and Games] Marth05:
Can you post a link to the apk for that? I'm sure a lot of us would be very grateful.

I've done my share of programming and had that dreaded tiny change that breaks everything else. Hope you guys can get this sorted out quickly without too much trouble.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
Sure, but someone has to tell me what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] Jazi:
I love it!

But, I wish the Dark theme had access to all the bubble styles, and that there was some sort of widget (kinda like chompSMS).

Great work!

is there any way to get sms/mms notifications like on htc sence
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I installed GoSMS a while back and had a few issues so went back to Handcent and everyone keeps saying this is way better then handcent so I decided to give it another go and now all kinds of issues for me.

Mine is doing the same thing even though I have it set not to light up the screen.

No matter what I do, it shows I have a custom alert sound set but just plays the default one no mater what and its a super short quiet ping noise on my Hero so I dont hear it.

Mine is also not vibrating even though I have it set to vibrate as well.

I love all the options and the look and feel of GoSMS but maybe its time to go back to Handcent as everything seems to work correctly. I will be watching this for solutions or update for sure though. :)
[Android Apps and Games] PsyCl0ne:
Ladies, Ladies! Please calm down, with the large user base that GO has I'm willing to bet that they are already working on a fix and also possibly adding that bonus that was stated in the latest release breakdown. So please calm down just a little hammering the forums with these many posts about going else where is just pointless and are going to get everyone nothing quicker then when we get it. So please as just another user maybe it would help if you just stated what phone you have and also any applicable ROM that you might have flashed, but it seems like its a general issue for everyone. So for now just pay a little more attention to your phone, and I'm sure that the GO team will have an update like asap.

[Android Apps and Games] sag7392:
Just want to throw in I'm having the same issues with the ringtone being whatever the general notification ringtone is, no matter how you have it set in GO SMS or the native SMS. Also, I get an "unknown" message in the pop-up sometimes, which forces me to open up the app to see who sent me a message.

[Android Apps and Games] Morsolo:
I'd just like to say I updated to 1.68 and everything is working perfectly.

I'm using a HTC Desire, running Froyo. (this exact ROM, if you're interested)

I have to say, GO SMS is BRILLIANT. I've tried Chomp and Handcent but I just didn't like them, this, on the other hand, is awesome. I really, REALLY like the way you've implemented the individual settings, so much more efficient (and more customizable) than all the other choices out there.

I tip my hat to you, good sir. :)

EDIT:

Found one problem, just now. If I don't have an individual notification set up, it'll always use the green icon, despite my preference for black. If I have individual notifications set up for the contact, all is well. Tiny little glitch, I'm not too fussed about it, will keep 1.68 and wait for the fix I guess.

Anybody else having timestamp issues??

My incoming messages are timestamped as being 7 hours behind. Tried changing the 'Receiving Settings' and then rebooting. Didnt help

[Android Apps and Games] rfrank86:
im having an issue where if the screen is set to come on, upon dimming, the notification is cancelled. i still can see the popup, but when the screen goes off i get the LED flash once and then it stops and upon turning my screen back on, the notification in the statusbar is gone. the message is also marked as read, even if the popup is never touched. i really hope they can fix this soon, it's really bothering when i can't leave a message for later actioning.

other than that, i simply love gosms

Thanks for such a quick fix.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
I really appreciate your understanding and support, just as I had say, we will continually try our best to make GO SMS better, always listening to your feedback, quickly responding to your feedback. Thanks all for your support!

Is it possible to split group texts?

I want to send mass texts but have the texts go into individual threads as opposed to a new group thread.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
+1 for that.

I love how light weight and fast it is.
[Android Apps and Games] hush66:
I really do like Go SMS but I keep going back to Handcent simply because I can customise the conversation screen of individual contacts. That's the only thing I find missing in Go SMS. If this is implemented, I'm sticking to Go SMS. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
v1.69 fixed my all of my notification issues and all is well. So far I love it. Thanks for the hard work. :)

Same with my HTC Hero. Need stock messaging app to use 3rd party messaging apps such as GoSMS. :)
[Android Apps and Games] fibonacci.leonardo:
First of all i have to say that I appreciate this awesome app!

Although please fix the following bugs soon:

My Device: HTC Desire 2.2 - Sence Rom - non rooted with GOTO lockscreen.

1) When answering a sms in the same minute as the recieved one - the order in sms theard will be wrong. Maybe by indicating the seconds in the sms' status the issue could be solved!?

2) I'm not able to set the LED color in the notification settings. It's always green though I choosed an other color. Once I used Handcent blue, megenta, cyan were at least possible to set.

3) Is it possible to set the LED notification permanent to glow and not to blink.

4) also have this issue:

THNX

[Android Apps and Games] huxley_sparks:
I like its responsive but can you guys let us pick our own ringtone from our music collection instead of the default ones. 'pixie dust' shouldn't be my mms notifier
[Android Apps and Games] jiddahidda:
The last update or maybe the one before has stopped me being able to adjust the volume of my custom notification.

Also, at first I couldn't even set my custom notification, it just played the notification that sat below it in the list instead, but that seems to have fixed itself. So at the moment I get a max volume Murloc gurgle (from WoW) every time I get a txt, it startles me every time haha
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
question about individual notification

Could someone explain to me what the individual notification settings are? If it doesn't include mp3 ringtones then what is it?

When this ability comes to GO SMS I will give it a try again. This is my main reason for using Handcent.
[Android Apps and Games] veeeee:
Being able to set the LED light to stay on instead of blink would be great.

Sometimes I will just peek a quick glance at my phone to see if I got any messages and it's possible for me to miss the LED when it is blinking.
[Android Apps and Games] ccctexas:

[Android Apps and Games] vincent.hsy:
My Desire HD has this issue too. But maybe it's HTC Messaging's problem, not GoSMS. Search XDA and you'll see other HTC devices having this issue.

Do you still have that particular conversation on your device? Open the HTC Messages app and see if the order is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] o0k00l:
Will w8 for version which works without stock .. Till then sticking to handcent as it works without stock app ..:p
[Android Apps and Games] droidfanns:
i've already uninstalled my stock but have handcent and chompsms in it. does it still work if i uninstall handcent and chompsms?

when is the new version that works without stock coming out?
[Android Apps and Games] John_Doe69:
right not working.

Not working neither in handcent nor in the original message app.

I have my smartphone since 2 weeks, I read anything about a bug in Android regarding delivery report !?

I want to get the delivery report if the messages is really received by the receiver mobile phone (NOT by the provider), like it's working on any other ordinary mobile phone's during last 10 years.

This really sucks.

Go SMS works like this:

The send report arrives shortly after messages is send, OK so far.

But then comes the received report, the little pop up a few seconds later: message received by 012345xx.

And 'view report' tells: recipient: 012345xx Status: Received.

But hey, my second mobile phone (012345xx) is switched off !

Go SMS confuses mostly with this delivery report compared to other message app's.

Same issue with htc message app...:eek:

But that wasn't before using GoSMS or?
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
Already asked for that a while back, thanks for backing the idea. :)
[Android Apps and Games] fibonacci.leonardo:
what's different or better. o_O
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
At the bottom of the screen before unlocking it from sleep mode, there is a curved thick like that you drag down to unlock.

Underneath that curved line there is some space and HTC Sense displays the user name and start of the msg. So you already know who is txting you and what first few words are being said.

I use that neat feature A LOT. Sometimes I just check and I put back to sleep without unlocking and looking at the widget and etc.

Yup, when I use Handcent or any other messaging app the vibrations are strong, but I can barely feel the vibration from GoSMS. It's frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] jmbrown32:
First off, excellent app, devs!

I'm having an issue with led notifications on my nexus one. No matter what I set the blink frequency to, the trackball led blinks very very slowly. Chomp did not have this issue. Anyone else have this problem or have any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] longrifle325:
Mobile Number only?

Kind of frustrating when composing a new message and when setting up groups. Some of my contacts have multiple numbers and it would be nice to be able to pick a "default" number to use everytime I choose that contact.

Both chomp and handcent have this option to only select mobile numbers and if contact has multiple mobiles, then you can assign one by default if you want.

Thanks for the great app. Replaced handcent!
[Android Apps and Games] thenewnoise:
vibration notification problem

Here is a problem I am having. I use QuickProfiles so that I can set quickly set a night profile that disables all notification sounds and vibrations except for the phone ringing. Then in the morning I can quickly set the phone to vibrate only or a normal profile that rings and vibrates for everything.

When I set Go SMS to "always" vibrate option in notifications then it vibrates when the night profile is on. This shouldn't happen because the phone system settings have vibrate turned off.

If I set Go SMS to the "only when muted option" in notifications then it will not vibrate when the vibrate or normal profile is on. So if the phone notifications are set to ring and vibrate then Go SMS still will not vibrate unless the "always" option is checked in notifications.

It would be nice if Go SMS would just look at the phone setting and decide if the phone is set to vibrate or not.

Think it's a good idea.. Now I have to turn off the 'unlock screen' option cos' often when my HD2 received msg in my pocket, it will unlock and a lot of apps will be accidentally activated. :(

Also, can someone tell me how to activate the character count on the pop up window? Cos' I can't seem to get it out. So, every time I type a reply on the pop up window, I'm kinda concern how long is my msg.

Edit: Pop up window appearing for kinda too short a time. It would be good to be a bit longer. Sometimes before I could reach out to my phone to 'unlock' it to reply a msg, it's turned off already.

[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
My issue seemed fixed for a little bit, but has come back.

If the popup is on the screen and phone rotates, the popup changes to from "Unknown" and if you accidentally respond, the outgoing message gets stuck and cannot be deleted and keeps erroring out forever unless you wipe SMS data.

Steps:

1. My phone is on dock charger in landscape mode

2. SMS comes through and popup is on screen. It displays properly.

3. I pull phone off dock to respond in portrait mode. This is where the popup becomes "corrupt"

Hope that helps, using a Samsung Epic 4G, 2.2/FroYo.

Thanks.
