Ridden my phone of Handcent, it's slow on my little Hero GSM :(

Installed Go SMS and I love it :D

There are one or two things I miss though.

1. I want to be able to change the notification icon to something else (Not particularly that important)

2. I'd like an option to set/change vibrate options for failed texts, not just the ringtone, I have my phone on silent a lot and put my phone to sleep just after pressing send, I'd like to know whether it has failed or not without looking (Important)

3. Is it possible to add an option for the phone to vibrate/ringtone when the message has been received. The phone vibrates when the message is sent at the moment, but when it is actually received I just get a little on screen notification. I'd rather it vibrate when received rather than sent. (Kinda important to me)

Little nice aliens smiles

Probably you lucky man if you believe in that.:rolleyes:

Actualy there are two styles, Android smiles and other smiles, not those I asked :)
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
Oh, I thought that by "little nice aliens" you meant Android smileys, because they do look a little like aliens ;) Sorry ;)

Same here: I've forced close GoSMS (from Settings/Applications) and deleted file /dbdata/databases/com.jb.mms and now I can save settings.

Tnx to everyone.

Thanks for taking the time for this response!

WTH?!

GoSMS 1.88 deleted ALL of my SMS messages from memory. Absolutely ridiculous. What's going on???!
[Android Apps and Games] truebiz:
Not a fan here. The notification icons are ugly (with only 1 style you can choose from). The outgoing message bubbles can't be made as bright as the incoming message bubble, so matching colors is out unless I want a darker theme. And I wish it had more customization for the conversation styles (currently there are only 2 choices).

If that was fixed, I'd come back =D
[Android Apps and Games] Kikko2000:
"want" shouldn't be used for a free application.
[Android Apps and Games] iridium21:
Ah, was it GoSMS or Android that caused that? I've heard that it's happened to people who aren't using GoSMS too, so who knows...
[Android Apps and Games] extraducksauce:
It happened twice since installing 1.88. I've been backing up my SMS daily now. Pain.
[Android Apps and Games] dbanzon:
im just wondering if go sms allows for personalized sms ringtones per contact? If it doesnt can it work hand in hand with ringo pro?
[Android Apps and Games] mcdaaaniel:
The notification icons can be changed with another 3rd party app like SMS Popup. You don't have to use the pop up but you can still use it for notifications and it has some options for icons.

As for your comment about the theme I couldn't agree more. That's the only thing keeping me from using this app is just the lack of a nice, beautiful theme. But I'm keeping my eye on it because of how smooth it is.
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
Yes, it does. Go to Settings -> Individual Settings and add a contact you want to personalize =)
[Android Apps and Games] havoc1310:
Hey there, I'm currently using Handcent and tried your app. Fortunately, I do like the set up but unfortunately I do not like the icons that come with it. :/

If you could perhaps include more icons with it, for the notification and Widgit, I would be 100% more inclined to use it, it really does not match my theme.

Problems with Sending Group Messages

This is a great app, but there are a few serious problems.

1) When sending a message to a group, often times when you go into contacts/groups to select the group, there are no groups there. I'm not sure if it's not syncing with the groups or not...but often times, my groups do not show up.

2) When they do show up and I select a group, some of the people in the group have multiple phone numbers (home phone/cell phone/work phone). There should be a way for this app to detect which people have multiple phone numbers and then give me a choice of which number I want to send it to (Handcent has this feature, and it's really good)

3) Also...it's not that big of a deal, but it bothers me that as soon as I select the first contact, my cursor automatically goes down to the text box. What if I want to send it to more than one contact? Let me decide when I want to click on the text box to type the text.

4) After I've added a group of people, there should be an easy way for me to deselect certain people from that message. (Again, check out how Handcent does this. It's a very handy feature).

I love your app, and I love that it's fast...but I send a lot of group texts, so unfortunately I have to stick to Handcent for now (which I don't like). Please fix these problems! Thanks so much! Your app is awesome!

v1.88

- the "1 message" notification bug on lockscreen of LG optimus one (P500) still present, it is here since at least 1.30

- when using the quick menu on a contact picture and choosing go sms still does not trigger the keyboard, this bug is here since at least 1.20!!!
[Android Apps and Games] NhocCuteGirls:
I just installed it, and it's what I've been looking for for the last year or so.

Clean, light and works wonderfully and the pop-up system and layout is perfect too.

Great job!

Edit: You can disable the stock SMS client by doing this;

Thanks, we have tried to fix the “delete all messages” issue in race case , but as you know, it may also be caused by stock SMS app, detailed please refer android Issue 11232, 12530, etc. I also really hate this issue! just back up frequently for now. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
1) Is interesting, I haven't had it happen to me ( so I can't say anything about it).

3) I think it makes more sense to automatically go down to the text box. Most people probably text one person more than they text multiple people, so switching that behavior would result in a lot more taps (and probably bother a lot more people too).

4) If you click the arrow next to a group in the contacts, it opens with all the members of that group, which you can select / deselect.
[Android Apps and Games] Leechoonhwee:
Just a suggestion here that I do not find in all 3rd party SMS application except stock Froyo SMS client.

When a contact contains 2 or more numbers, the 2 separate numbers are not grouped together into a single thread. So if my friend with 2 numbers sent me an sms using different numbers I get them in separate threads.
[Android Apps and Games] dbanzon:
great app..so far i like it cept for one thing....it doesnt show the number of unread sms messages i have on my dock bar...
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
Running Anroid 2.2.1 / 2.6.32.15 DL DesireZ build on a HD2. Just cant seem to get GO to display all contact pics, it only displays about 20%, some FB ones, some standard ones, no pattern.

Stock SMS app however displays everything. Tried resyncing FB contacts etc but i just cant seem to get it to work, anyone else encountered this problem or have a solution?
[Android Apps and Games] GretaLewd:
Change Date & Time format?

Thanks for this great app.

One small annoying issue for us non-American users:

Could you please allow format change of date (dd.mm. instead of mm.dd.)?

My stock SMS shows dates as, for example, 9 Feb (= 09/02) which is how I want it.

The GO SMS inbox shows that date as 02/09 (= 2nd September for me!):confused:

(My phone is set to region = UK)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] samtroy:
Yep, that bug is still there! I suffer from it too. :(

I hope this gets fixed someday.:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Is that the bug whereby the Quick Reply popup and it's just blank? :o

If so, yes I am still getting it.
[Android Apps and Games] hoo2hoo:
think there should be a send to 'starred' contacts feature xD
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
WOW! Thank you!

That's awesome. I'm using it now. If I could be a little more picky, could you make it so you select apps? It also removes the default unlock screen. But if you could select which apps, then it would be perfect! Thank you so much :)
[Android Apps and Games] slumpz:

Hi

I have an issue regarding the themes changing problen. I had download few themes and i admit there are wonderful. But after chaange the themes,it will automatocally revert back to original one after couple of minutes or aftet rebooting the phone..

Can somebody help me on this? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] lissa5168:
I'm still not get ANY contact pics no matter what I try. I love this app and keep trying it again and again, but this no contact pics thing is a deal breaker. The only answer I ever get anywhere is, "that's been fixed, it should be working".
[Android Apps and Games] parousia15:
What does the "todo" button on the pop up box do? It seems to only close it. Is that it?
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
Dunno if it's my provider, but I'm getting duplicate messages a lot of the time. I also get blank messages from no number too. Weird. But great app.

Thanks, "Unrecognized URI\:content\://mms-sms/canonical-addresses", it is issue of some special phone; need to have a check.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please provide your phone detail info. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
"todo" leave the message as NEW in INBOX, you may handle it later. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Not cause by GO SMS, what I suggest is, please uninstall Handcent and some other SMS app and try, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] pbarnum:
Great app, but I have noticed one bug with it...

I don't know if this has already been reported but... when ever I receive a sms and get the pop-up window, I would click on the exit icon, yet the unread sms notification is still there and requires me to clear notifications or go into the app and read the new message.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, Please try SyncMypix (some one have some discussion , please search in this forum). and we may have a vote to find out how many people still suffer from FB not sync.

And when raising issue, please provide your phone detailed info, so that someone may help. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, you have the options to change the time format in v1.89 now.
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Can you add more options for splitting messages, similar to Handcent? Like split by word, or character, etc. And be able to remove the message counter for multiple messages like (1/2), (2/2), etc?

Please and thank you. You guys have come a long way and I appreciate your work.

restoring from xml backup

hi guys..been trying to restore from xml backup and I cant seem to get all my messages back.just a few of them..i had to restore from backup because of a crash in 1.88 that wiped all my text messages..the xml backup file contains over 5k messages. would appreciate your help. been using this app for quite some time now and this is by far the biggest issue I ever.encountered..thank you for your feedback..
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Download SMS Backup & Restore from the Market. It can save and restore your texts. It also has a mode where, if you don't want multiple backups, you can keep backing up to the same file so new texts just get added to one big backup. Never failed me once.
[Android Apps and Games] kutsaratinidor:
thanks for the advice. will try that after I get to restore from the gosms formatted xml..or is it supported by sms backup and restore in the 1st place?
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
SMS Backup & Restore does backups in XML as well. I've never tried putting a GoSMS backup into the SMS Backup & Restore folder on my card and restoring it. It can't hurt to try.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Well, as nice as this app might be, it looks like I'm going back to the stock SMS on my EVO. The latest problem with Go SMS is whenever I wish to send a msg to multiple contacts, the program locks up at the "Loading" prompt, and the only way I can get out of it is to shut the phone off. No matter what I do, I can't get Go SMS to send to multiple recipients.

Handcent's not an option because my messages are chopped up into numerous tiny ones and sent as gibberish.

I'm not looking for fancy colors, pretty icons, or any of that other useless crap. I just want a 100% reliable SMS function, and right now, the only one that does that is the stock one, as plain as it may be.
[Android Apps and Games] jlacy76:
Seems to be working fine here
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
there is definitely sync issues for some with fb,i am one of them. my only solution which does work is go to your settings, applications, manage applications. then find contact storage, should be several mgb depending how many contracts you have then clear the cache. bear in mind this deletes as all your contacts but when you resync, all my contacts appeared again. i use my phone explorer to sync, that part is upto you.

bug report:

whenever i delete a single contact from go sms group, when i close and reopens go sms it remains there (not deleted) but the whole remaining group gets deleted. and the group name of the remaining single contact (which i wish to delete) changed to some other group name. please have a look at this issue.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Thanks for the updates. :)

Can allow us to save our preferences/settings to SD?
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
1.89 update is a clear improvement! Keep up the great work guys!

Now, I am facing some bugs that haven't been addressed yet:

1. (THE WORST) Sometimes when I long-press on a message and select Delete, it deletes another older message from the conversation (even if it is locked!!)

This also happens when I select Resend... And it is quite annoying because I end up sending a message that I either sent in the past or -even worse- that the other person sent me!! :( :( :(

2. My Inbox contains about 50 separate conversation threads (from 50 different contacts of course). The contact pictures appear fine for the first 8, but when I scroll down to the next conversations there is no contact picture. Then, the application starts to lag and a little later gives me an Unexpected Error. After I re-open the app, some pictures from the first 8 threads are missing and some from the next have appeared. This is weird...

3. I have set some individual notifications and they work just fine, BUT the reminders still use the default settings. For example, I have set individual notification for contact A. Contact A texts me. 10 minutes later I haven't read the text. The default notification/vibration occurs, not the ones I specified for Contact A.

That's it for now! I am always emailing you when there is an "unexpected error" and I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting on this application. It is and will remain my main messaging application! :)

PS: I have contacted you about translating it in greek and looking forward to hearing from you on that!
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter488:
looks nice i will give it a shout : )

[Android Apps and Games] lissa5168:
I have already tried SyncMyPix, but that isn't a viable solution as it misses about 22 out of my 109 contacts and there is no way to manually add a contact into SyncMyPix. Not misses picture, misses contact completely. If I receive a message from one of those missed contacts, it only shows up as from a number in GoSMS. So in short, SyncMyPix isn't a solution either.

I am using a rooted Droid Original running Ultimate Droid 2.5 rom.

Localization, translation

Hi,

How can I correct the bad French translations, and the sentences that are not yet translated?

Michel.
[Android Apps and Games] mdes:
Reception acknowledgemen

Why is the flag "Reception acknowledgement" in the "Reception parameters"? I think it should be in the "Sent messages" parameters because it is directly related to these ones.

Michel.

ps: All the items are translated from French to English, so they are not necessarily the good ones.
[Android Apps and Games] mdes:
Batch mode

The only use of the batch mode seems to be "multiple deletions"?

Is there another use of this mode ?

What is differences between the "Quit" choice (in the batch mode menu) vs the Android "Goback" button?
[Android Apps and Games] Cro0707:
Hi, gr8 app, my favorite! Consider adding this minor functionality:

Tip no 1:

1. Open App

2. Click on "new SMS" icon in uper right corner.

3. "To" field has focus and cursor is blinking, but you can't type because there is no keyboard on the screen.

4. Clicking on "To" or on "Type to compose" will popup keyboard.

It would be nice that keyboard is opened automatically after step 2 so user won't need to click on field again to open keyboard.

Tip no 2:

On my Desire HD, app "People", setting "View", SIM contact are UNCHECKED (because I don't want to see/use them) but under Go SMS contact list, they are visible. Go SMS should display only contact that user has defined under People application because that's what is phone default setting for contacts. Or at least option to display only contacts as user has defined under main contacts app.

Tip no 3:

"ToDo" in MSG popup is cool, but it would be better if "ToDo" also mark message in inbox (star or some other icon or whatever). Like in gMail when you star a message for importance or later replaying. During the day, I receive a lot of SMS and option to mark those who needs reply (later) will be great.

Thank you for app.

Summary of Bugs and Suggestions

Summary of some bugs and suggestions till date:

GO Sms v1.89

Bugs:

- Notification tone fails when it is set to other than Default tone. details here

- After tap "Send" in message compose screen, should go back to the previous screen (be it Inbox or Conversation thread) as that should be the expected behaviour

Essential Enhancement suggestions:

- Option to mark message as Unread in Inbox

- Notification upon receiving Sent Report

- Allow to save message as Draft even without a Recipient is added; need to have better functions in supporting Draft Messages

- When composing new message, tap "Send" should bring up the contact list to add recipient if it's not added in the first place (this is also an expected behaviour; it shall automatically perform Send Message after recipient is added, and then back to Inbox)

Cosmetics:

- Option to show/hide number of messages on each thread in Inbox (the message count which appears beside the recipient's name)

- Show date/time at the end of each message inside the bubble box (currently date/time appears outside below the bubble box)

- Option on widget to enable/disable auto lock

imho.

thanks in advance!

[Android Apps and Games] Fekish:
Hello,

i am testing the app for 1 week now and thanks for the development!

What i noticed:

- Every time i open it it takes 1-2 seconds to load pictures of contacts

- Scrolling doesnt seem so smooth

- I am using the black theme, but when i receive new sms i cant see clearly in the inbox that there is unread. Is there an option ot select custom colours for unread messages? Additional to just bold the unread sms's?

I dont know if its the ROM i am using (CM 7) or GO SMS, during the past week when i receive sms's no notification comes up, but i have to go in inbox to check. Only in about 1 every 5, there is a notification.
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
it seems so.

how to reproduce:

- deactivate stock sms notification.

- activate go sms notification.

- receive a sms

- dismiss the popup, the notification icon is gone (which is normal)

- lock the screen (press power button)

- wake the screen on : "1 message" notification is here
[Android Apps and Games] malavan:
What function dose todo have in go sms.
[Android Apps and Games] Cro0707:
It leaves SMS marked as unread in inbox, nothing more. Also it won't remove icon from the notification bar, I think that's not good idea because every time when you will take your phone you will think that you have a new SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I love this button and had been requesting it (others too). Sometimes you want to close the popup and not reply right away but you also don't want to forget about the message.

Great new feature and very appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] malavan:
ok thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] nathanvader:
Implement option to select text input method

Please, it is very important to implement the option to select the text input method to force between GSM or Unicode alphabet. Because now when you put some accented letter (eg, á, í, ó, ú) the total number of characters available in the SMS is reduced from 160 to 70. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] quitlee:
I LOVE THE NEW NOTIFICATION ICONS, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The "copy message text" and the "resend" functionalities are still a bit buggy.

The message that I long-press to either copy or resend ends up NOT being the one that I actually wanted to copy/resend. This is a huge issue imo because if a message fails to send, and i want to resend that message, I want to be resending the CORRECT message, not any other message.

ex.

msg 1: what's up? <--sent

msg 2: nm, you? <--received

msg 3: same hither. <-- failed

I long press msg 3, choose to resend:

msg 4: what's up? <--sent

in this example, msg 1 is resent instead of the failed msg 3.

I'm still waiting on the quick reply functionality for the widget!!!
