Today, I noticed that the time offset setting (which I had previously had set to +5 hours) has stopped having any effect. After several test messages back and forth with myself and others, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, it has persisted.

Anyone else notice this? Droid 2 Global user, here.
[Android Apps and Games] taedium:
It seems that the application work better now (less bug, facebook's pictures, etc...)

But Some threads with contact just disappear... I have noticed 2 by now, but it may be more... dunno why :) Nice to see that you are working hard to improve go sms :)
[Android Apps and Games] ntiouk:
I would like also to request this feature. This is the only thing stopping me from uninstalling handcent. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Alright will give GO SMS a try again. :) In fact yeah I just installed it again.

Any chance for customisation of SMS vibrate duration? Short/Normal/Long ?
[Android Apps and Games] nightworker-nn11:
I totally love go SMS, it's the best. One thing I would love to see though is a customisable background for when you get a text and it pops up on your homescreen

Other than that it's a Fab app : )
[Android Apps and Games] munwaioblivious:
A question. how do i make it read my contacts from phone instead? because there is no contact picture there its kinda irritating though.
[Android Apps and Games] Morsolo:
I have a question: I've tried searching but haven't came up with anything...

When the popup notification appears - and my phone is locked with the screen off - the screen will only stay on for about 3 seconds. Is there a way to increase this? Or is it a Froyo problem?

And now a suggestion: It would be nice if you could introduce an unread "ping" feature, I'd imagine it would be simple enough.

If you've got an unread message, every minute (or user-set timeframe) the phone just notifies you again, as if you just got another message. Of course, the notification for the "ping" could also be customizable, adding to the list of GO SMSes great features :)

This has been an issue since early versions, it used to stay on for a while longer. It slowly got worse with subsequent versions. I think for now it is something we need to deal with, since it less important than some more critical issues. It is a bit bothersome, but we will wait for now.

(I have this same issue, Froyo on Droid2)
[Android Apps and Games] clark1ra:
I posted this question a while back but did not see any response so I am posting again......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. I am currently using v1.69 and the issue is still there. Any suggestions?

Thanks

RC
[Android Apps and Games] Cactus42:
I would like to know this also, currently it only pulls though one of my contact pictures but none of the others. I can see no difference in the way this contact is set up to all the others except for the fact that this one automatically synced with FB to get the pictures, whereas the others had to be linked manually and refreshed when I initially set up the phone.

settings not saved

HI there, my phone is SGS, running 2.2.1 on doc's rom. Any idea how to fix this? I've uninstalled and clear data, reinstalled but still the same. Loving the app but settings are just not saved.
[Android Apps and Games] Prestidigitator:
Notification contact name

Ok - so I have this weird problem with GoSMS. Installed the latest version today morning from the Market. Everything is working great and I am ready to chuck the stock messaging app and use this - but there is one hitch. The delivery notification only shows the phone number of the contact and not the name.

For example, if I send an SMS to a phonebook contact named as "Richard" with phone number "123456789", then the delivery report only shows "message received by 123456789" instead of "message received by Richard".

Anyone else also facing this issue? What is the way out?
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
I just noticed a few bugs.

1. I received 3 messages within three minutes. The time that it said received for each of the three:

8:08

8:09

9:10

Even though it should have been 8:10

2. Some of the notifications still don't work properly.

I have one contact set up with a different notification icon than the rest. Most of the time it is the correct icon. But sometimes even for the custom notification it uses the default green icon.

3. Last, every time I receive a message, it shows the received time 1 minute more than the system time. I don't know why.
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
Anybody knows when v1.70 is scheduled to be released? Though I can't use GOSms anymore due to sluggish speed on thread with 4,000+ msgs, I would like to see the new big widget. :D

Any way to get Greek characters support for the sms? I can't send 160 chars, due to the different ncoding
[Android Apps and Games] Jaylach:
Been using GoSMS for about a day now (uninstalled Handcent!) and have noticed a few quirks -

I had the stock Text Messages app on my wife's Droid X frozen through Titanium. This wasn't a problem with Handcent, it continued to receive messages just fine. However GoSMS wouldn't receive any messages until I defrosted the stock Text Messaging app.

I also noticed that if I send myself a text message the one I received comes in with a time stamp of 5 hours earlier then the one I sent. This doesn't happen for messages I get from others.

If I delete a message from the notification popup the SMS Count displayed on the dock bar (using LauncherPro) is not reset.

Thanks for you great work with this! Makes me want to try out GoLauncher now =)

Edit -

I've also noticed that the contact pictures I have set (set by Facebook) don't show in GoSMS.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Go SMS 1.70 is out... great work guys.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Same! Or rather something like that, I can receive the SAME SMS from my friend, 3 times all within minutes apart from each.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
1.70 has an option to sort based on the received time on your device (I guess instead of interpreting what seems to be the send time).

Works great, try it out and see if it helps you.
[Android Apps and Games] sedinix:

Question

I have thought many times of trying this app but all I see is roughly 100 + pages of complaints..

My question is this.. Does anyone actually like this app and have any positive feedback on it..

Props to the developer for making this app and taking on all the complaints about your program.. You deserve a BIG pat on the back SIR !!!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Go SMS is great and works perfectly for me.

You really gotta consider a few things:

1. Just like anything in life, for every 1 person that complains there are probably 5 people who are not. Those people just aren't as vocal. When you have a problem you tend to speak up about it.

2. The developers are very responsive, consider all requests, and update often.

3. You have nothing to lose by trying it out.
[Android Apps and Games] leonnib4:
I really enjoy this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] 7SiNz:
Thanks for your feedback sir...
[Android Apps and Games] Cactus42:
My post isn't a complaint - but a question like many others.

GoSMS is far and away the best SMS program on Android, I can't understand why I've only just heard about it as it blows Handcent and the others out of the water. (in fact I've just found GoSMS and GoLauncher, and they're both pretty damn good.)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisjs81:
Yes I use it and like it. It's new so there's some growing pains but it's worth installing and trying out. Minimal effort to downloading it from the market and trying it.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
I use it and like it very much. The developer is very prompt with timely upgrades as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Cactus42:
Have to say that once he (or I, if it's me being a numpty) work out how to get all the profile pictures to pull through, it'll be perfect. The only request I would have is the ability to set messages sent to multiple recipients to appear in each person's queue rather than a seperate "Group" queue, though I don't know if that's possible.
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
+1 for this.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Some bugs with 1.70:

1) Vibrations never work. I have tried setting "always vibrate" and "vibration for mute mode only" for Vibration style. I have tried all Vibrate patterns as well. By the way, I think it also makes more sense to have a "vibration for vibrate mode only" option.

2) No matter which Vibrate pattern I select, the toast message on the bottom always says "Custom vibrate pattern set," even if I did not choose the custom pattern.

3) For Reminders: It says "Screen on for reminders, Reminders will trun screen on"

Customization requests when using Dark theme, in Conversation customization:

1) Please allow option to rearrange the timestamp to somewhere else, like the end, on a new line (like the stock MMS styling)

2) Please allow option to have separate background colors for incoming and outgoing messages (like the stock MMS styling)

3) I would love the option to remove the quick add (+) button on the left of the compose button

Thanks!!

issues with 1.70 update

hey guys

just update to 1.70 and now I can't send send sms to my google cantacts groups.

I am not able to get go sms to work with BLN app and i do not get a infomation notification about my unread sms on the dock icon using Go Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] x0149128:
I've been very critical of SMS apps in android, it's almost like SMS and Phone capabilities were an after thought for this OS they aren't very slick or as well integrated as say on the Iphone or dare i say it, Symbian.

That being said, i'm loving GoSMS at the moment. some of the themes are poor at best, i'm using the dark theme right now, without that daft conversation style messaging. The app is extremely customisable and it seems the updates come thick and fast. Good work.

My question is, how do i change it so that i can use the default icons and notifications for GoSMS as i'm not a fan of the GoSMS icon either as a launcher or in the status bar pop-up.
[Android Apps and Games] thenewnoise:
Please address the way the vibration notifications work. If the system settings are set to not vibrate then the app should respect that.
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
In v1.70, I think the Widget should have the ability to switch between threads, not just msgs in one thread. Currently it shows only the last active thread with msgs up to 50. I want the ability to switch to another thread and read msgs, like the stock HTC Message widget. :) Maybe it's part of the plans already.

V1.70 is still as sluggish as previous versions in terms of speed in threads with 3,500-4,000+ msgs. Very hard to keep the conversation due to its poor display/process performance.

tnx

Quick Attach Button

I just tried this app out today and really like it but there is one thing I would like to turn off. Is there a way to turn off the "quick attach button", i.e. the "plus" button that is next to the message composition area on the left? I don't use attachments from the new/reply message screen and want to turn it off to get a little more typing space.
[Android Apps and Games] jpbl1976:
Disappointing sms tone customization

This is getting annoying:

1) With the 1.68 update, the notification system got broken and the system default became the GoSMS default system. At least Devs had the good sense to update the app less than 24 hours later.

2) 1.69, the notification system worked fine. However, customization is still borked. I was able to successfully create a custom notification (i.e. one that appears in the customized notification list) but it became the default for ALL the SMS notification.

3) 1.70, same thing. Why is it so difficult to set an individual contact tone? Each time I do this: GoSMS > Settings > Notification Settings > Individual Notification settings > Add > Select Contact > [Contact Selected] > OK > Notification Settings > Select Ringtone > [Ringtone Selected] > OK, nothing happens. There is no 'save' button so I have to go back but when that happens, no individual notification is saved.

I am using a stock but rooted HTC Desire Z. I am also using it on a i9000 Galaxy S. Same issue. I am not using, nor do I still have Handcent installed, so there should be no conflict.

I've given this app about a month now. I'm tired of it. It's too flaky. I'm going back to Handcent. Once this simple feature is fixed or made simpler to implement I may consider it but right now, it's just too high maintenance. I was never that frustrated with Handcent.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
What I'm glad that 1.70 has is the ability to customise the vibrate pattern. Thanks for listening to the feedback on that.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Have you tried it? I can't get my phone to vibrate for GO SMS notifications, no matter what pattern I choose.
[Android Apps and Games] the_hustleman:
Why are notifications still sounding and popping up for blacklisted contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Yeah. Tried. Working just fine regardless of which option I selected. Even the custom settings which I am using (0,1200). =D
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
I upgraded to V1.70 today. Was in the morning. Just checked my phone later in the afternoon. Everything was gone. I open Inbox and nothing was there. Pressing Menu etc didn't bring up the normal options.

EDIT: I just talked to a friend, they said they had sent an SMS earlier . But didn't receive it at all.

Didn't have any problems with V1.69 at all.

[Android Apps and Games] atomicalll:
I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but once I switched to GO SMS from Handsent, I keep receiving 1 message a person sends to me 2 or 3 times with a few minutes between each of them.

I already made sure that the stock SMS notification box is not checked off, so it can't be that problem.

And also, I'm using GO launcher and the unread SMS count is not showing on my dock.

Don't blame GoSMS too fast. You may be a victim of the Android bug that sends your message to a wrong contact.

2. Backup of Preferences (because I may want to uninstall Go SMS and install again)

Thank you to the developers for this lovely program. A humble request: allow users to make custom themes in addition to the developers. Again thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] meatgel:
I theme the ROM that I am using on my Evo and I changed out the default smileys for ones I like better, but GoSMS changes these back to stock -- Handcent didn't.

If you are going to call the smiley files by stock names, why do you have to include those files in the APK? Can't you call them through the code and that would pull the system images already on the phone?

I hope I explained this in an understandable way.

Hey,

Just got the app from the store. I believe it is a FREE service to SMS. I experienced different. When i tried sending a message, the reply was - insufficient funds!!

I do not get the funds?? isnt it FREE?

Would you please advice what is going wrong.

cheers,

Sijju
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
The app is free, but it is just that... an SMS app. NOT an SMS service. You have to have operating SMS service/functionality on your Android device already.

Hi!

I have a lg optimus one and i noticed a annoying bug...

i have disabled the stock sms notifications from its menu, but when i recieve a sms i get a 'unread message' notification in lock screen and in the notification area. after closing the popup, the notification area icon disappears, but the text notification in lockscreen remains until stock sms app is opened..

some other optimus one users have this problem too...

dunno if it's a phone specific thing..

anyone else having this problem????
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
ive only been playing with it a short time, but since you have themes, can you make the kik/droid x messaging theme? otherwise ill just edit it myself though i dont want to do that because i wont get updates. also, i use 12 hour clocks, can we get a setting to change it from 24 hour to 12? its showing 20:00 it the inbox.

[Android Apps and Games] xda-fan2010:
Hey, thank you for the great Application!

I like the Themes and the User Interface, but i think it would be great, if you add the Option that the Pop-Up Window "Don´t take the Screen on" and "Pop-Up behind the Lockscreen" as the same in Handcent! :D

So, the App would work together with my "NoLED" application.

I hope you guys understood me, because my english is not so good! :D

[Android Apps and Games] Eggcake:
An option for security (like Handcent) would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
It's missing a nice feature, to display part of the msg on the lock screen.

HTC displays the msg when you open the screen and it's locked. At the bottom of the curved bar you drag to unlock it displays the msg. GO SMS does not, I have to keep HTC's notification for that and that means it will also show the msg icon in the status bar.

Would be great to have msgs displayed on the locked screen with GO SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] duongtunglam:
Smileys theme

Please give us more styles of smileys (emoticons) as Yahoo Messenger, MSN, Skype... If Go SMS have this feature, it will be te best :)
[Android Apps and Games] Frankylinux:
I also noticed it's flashing the green LED when receiving a SMS. Might want to add the option to turn that off.

Over all it's really a great concept and I think in the future it will be excellent! Needs a bit more performance (speed) and a couple of other features and wow. :D
