Hi!

Thanks for the awesome app.

I have a few ideas that would further improve it in my opinion.

THEME SELECTION

This might be a bit hard to explain but I will try my best.

Say I select the 'Dark Theme'

Then, when I go into the 'Conversation Customisation' settings, The incoming bubble is a lighter base/colour (whatever you want to call it). So this means when I want to customise the Incoming bubble colour, I can find a colour that looks good. If you look at the outgoing bubble, it has a much darker base, and then colour modification applied to that bubble still does not look as good, even if you select the same colour as you applied to the incoming bubble.

So, is it possible for you to make a theme, that uses the same type of bubble as the incoming bubble as well as the outgoing bubble?

The same thing applies to other themes as well, such the GO default style bubble. But in that case, I prefer the outgoing bubble style.

Also for the GO Style1, I would like the incoming bubble to be the same and the outgoing bubble.

What I think would look good.

GO Default Style - Both bubbles use the 'Outgoing' bubble style

GO Style1 - Both bubbles use the 'Incoming' bubble style

Dark Theme - Both bubbles use the 'Incoming' bubble style

So you get the idea. You could apply this the other way around if people prefer it that way. It's just another way of customisation.

UNREAD COUNT ON APPLICATION ICON

It would be pretty cool if the icon would also have a little counter which would display the number of unread messages.

REPLY REMINDER

This is an idea I had but not sure if you could actually implement it. Anyway, here it is.

Sometimes, I get a message, I read it or whatever, but I am busy doing something and then I forget to reply until some time later when I re-open GO SMS.

I would like it, if you could give us the option to mark an SMS with a 'REPLY REMINDER' or something and then display in the notifications bar, a new GO SMS icon which simply tells you that you have a marked SMS (that you have read) but you need to reply to at a later stage. So simply, you don't forget to reply or don't reply hours later.

CUSTOM NOTIFICATION TONES FOR INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE

The title is pretty self explanatory, would be nice to have custom notification tones for individual people.

Anyway, that's all I can think of at the moment. Thanks for this great app! In my opinion it would be perfect once these things are added in.

Also, just one more thing. The only LED indicator that is working for the Desire HD is green. The Desire HD should be able to support RED (which is in the menu) and ORANGE (which isn't in the menu).

Thanks again! :)

Hello

After the latest update, the Led notification, screen wakeup and quick reply works super on X10 Mini

I still have problem with contact pictures though. It works for roughly 25 % of the contacts. It seems to be no difference if I manually link the contacts in the contact app.

In both handcent and stock this works for all contacts. I actually think this worked fine for the first install of Go Sms I had a while back. but I'm not sure I remember that correctly

Other than that, this app is now my primary sms application. Good work
[Android Apps and Games] johnkan:
Just hold the menu button down on Galaxy S for search :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Pedroid:
Like some others reported, the led-notification isn't working on my HTC Desire. Also, I don't really need a flashing led, just a steady color would do fine.

Thanks for the great app!
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:

[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
it pop the search box, do I need to do something to activate the feature?

I also noticed that when you hit compose button, the "To" field is focused but the keyboard does not show up, I need an extra touch in the text field. Using messagEase keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks for the great comments, you address the main points, expectually the last three, thanks again! :)
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
In our test, it works for most Sunsang and HTC mobiles, but don't work for Moto mobiles; for you using experience, do you think so ? we are fighting for this. Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
" unread count on the actual icon " is under devloping, Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, under dev.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Now, if the msg has been displayed in front of you (such as you slip the msg when there are muti msgs in popup windows), they will be marked as READ automatically; you prefer to mark it READ manually?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Ahh, that would make sense for me. I use a Samsung device (Epic 4G) and Facebook contact images work perfectly for me.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Is it possible to mark it as READ manually then? :) No harm having such an option right?
[Android Apps and Games] sashamw33:
I uninstalled Chomp, which I never imagined I would do, and installed this Go SMS instead. I love it. The one thing I wish, in all apps, is if, since i use the pop-ups, i could have no notification option in the notification bar. the pop up and blinking led are enough, for me. I don't need the bubble/new message/ticker message running across top (notification bar area) at all. I don't know if this is feasible or not but it would be a cool option.

Also I saw in works and I'm very excited, that there will be seperate notification sound options per contact. That's awesome.

Keep up the great work! =)
[Android Apps and Games] taedium:
Hi, got the same issue sometimes too. It happens when you just click on New message and start to write a name or number directly... If you let the application to load completely (by waiting 1/2seconds) the bugs disappear ^^

The led works now with the 1.38 ^^ thanks!!

yes, the facebook pictures would be great too, dont know why it works on some mobiles :/

I'd really like an option to hide the sms count to a thread in the Inbox... it seems like im the only person who want that to be removed? ^^

voilà.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Nope you are not alone. I want the option to remove it too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks a lot for the good comments. widget is under dev, popup is to be improved, I got your point. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] quanp:
This would make sense as i'm using motorola and the facebook contact pics aren't working
[Android Apps and Games] Ivan Ooi:
why still cannot sync google contact group? not support or still working on? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
Nice but still far from chompSMS
[Android Apps and Games] Roscopcoletrain:
yeah no contacts, (except the 2 i set manually) show contact pics. Add me to that group I guess lol

Enter Key

When I first downloaded this app on my Dinc, I quit using it because I couldn't find a way to get an Enter Key instead of a Smiley Key.

I've switched to a Fascinate since, and with the Swype keyboard, I have an enter key, but not with the stock android keyboard. Is there any way around this? Smileys are cool, but I use my enter key a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
Thanks for your reply. Just one thing in regards to the first item discussed. If you don't wish to apply everything as I said, If you just make another version of the dark theme with both styles of chat bubbles the same as the incoming ones then it would be perfect.

If you don't apply the option to all themes that's fine, even only one theme. It is one feature that I really would love in the app.

Again thanks for the reply and the app :)

EDIT: I have added an image of the theme.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I really like the chat bubbles with the rounded corners, it's a nice change from stock, I hope you keep them - or make them optional! A nice green based theme for Spring would be nice, too, it'll help the long winter pass a bit quicker! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Marth05:
Thank you for the privacy mode! I hate the idea of someone picking up my phone and being able to read the message, even when it's locked.

Could we possibly get a custom icon or at least an envelope in the notification bar for received messages? It's nice, but I'm really not a fan of the GO bubble.

The last thing I think I have to request is making the message counter in the conversation list optional.

This app is great. Much much speedier than handcent and more options than Sense. Good work.
[Android Apps and Games] ziyad.dadabhoy:
Great App. A few feature requests

Hey I love this App. Already replaced the default one for me. Only a few complaints:

1. Contact Pics don't show up if they are from FB.

2. Can you make it where if I exit it out of the popup notification it stays unread?

3. Better customization on dark theme. For example: When someone messages multiple times in dark theme it has them all separate. Clean it up a bit and join them
[Android Apps and Games] joafandina:
I dont have access to android market in my country, can you send me the APK file for this ??

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zhwen:
Is there a draft folder?

When I create a new message to a new contact (with no conversation in the Inbox) and exit the message without sending, GO Sms informs me the message is saved to Drafts. However, I can't find this message any where in GO Sms. I have to go to the Drafts folder in HTC's messaging app to find the message.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatkid76:
Is it possible to have an audible delivery notification without having an icon in the notification tray?
[Android Apps and Games] JustinTrouble:
I'm seeing big spikes in CPU usage in version 1.38. Coincidentally my battery just doesn't seem to last as long since installing.

GO Sms keeps triggering Watchdog and I'm loathed to add it to the whitelist.

It's so annoying that I am seriously considering un-installing! It's a shame because I do like it.
[Android Apps and Games] tismo74:
Does anyone have issues sending pics with go sms or is it just me?

HTC evo on sprint.

I have the auto retrieve feature checked on the default phone app as requested in the go sms settings.

It works great for me, I use MMS (sending and receiving) a lot.

Delivery Report bug

Hi,

I'm using Samsung Galaxy 3. When i select view report in GO Sms it always displays status as received even if the recepient did not receive the sms because of some reason like he switched off or something like that. And the icon is also a envelop with green tick. Only if the sms did not leave my cell it is showing not sent.

But built in sms app shows correct status of sms as 'report requested' if the recepient did not receive the sms, and as 'Received' when the sms actually reaches his/her mobile.

It displayed that notification for delivery report and says received when i view report even when i sent to my another number which was switched off for weeks. :confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] decko5:
i really liked this client but when i used it it was very slow compared to stock client and chomp but i will retry with all these updates
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
how to quick compose? when holding SGS menu button, it pop the google search box
[Android Apps and Games] Coolaaron88:
Could you add the ability to relock the phone after replying to the popup message? Also Add the ability to change the vibration length.

Love the app btw :)
[Android Apps and Games] gmilliken37:
only thing holding me back from switching from handcent to go is the ability to have custom notifications for specific contacts. handcent enables me to have a different ringer and LED color for when my parents text as opposed to when my friends text. very helpful and would love to see that integrated into go

looks great, keep it up

The New Year Theme update, when I tap on it, Market tell me the Package cannot be found. But never mind, I don't intend to update since after the new year, I'll use another theme. :P
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I do like the way new themes are offered within the options, that makes it easy to find out there's a new look to download!
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Can you tell us how to make themes, or should I just open up the APK and figure it out myself?
[Android Apps and Games] SayWhat10:
i guess its only me but when i installed the new years themes it installed a whole another sms program. so i was getting texts twice, 2 notifications, like i had new years theme in one go sms, and xmas theme running i the other instance of the program, at same time

in market when clicking on it to try to uninstall, says not found!!

im the only one this happened to?

like i looked at teh size of new years theme and it was larger than the other main smsm program (3meg) where as the other themes are like 200kb-600kb (under a meg) in size

waht gives?
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
What is the difference between the GoSMS and the GoSMS New Year? It seems I can use the New Year theme.with elitist but the original was a bit light weight.

Thanks Much.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
GoSMS New Year is just a theme I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] sohaib17:
LED notifications work fine now with new update, please add retry functionality for failed sms as it is difficult to type all again...
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
I noticed there isn't a way to resend a message that didn't go through. Was sending several relatives Happy New Year texts, and a couple of them didn't go through while some did. Instead of being able to retry/resend the 3 that didn't go through, I'm forced to retype the whole message or cut and paste and create a new SMS. That is VERY annoying!
[Android Apps and Games] sohaib17:
2x. i was saying the same... one more thing, if i replied to 2 popups quickly(for example yes, yes to both) while the 1st one is being replied 2nd usually fails, i think it is not being queued, instead sent at same time so it fails...
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
I usually just tap that text and it retypes automatically in the text box
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
Would you guys ever make a GO Dialer? I love this interface that pops up when you go to add a recipient.
[Android Apps and Games] nickporwal:
Guys i am not able to send group sms to more than 10 people. When is add more than 10 recipients it just takes first 10. Dnt knw why. I am using samsung galaxy s with froyo 2.2.1. Any ideas guys?

Well, when one has a bunch of text to copy and paste, it becomes a pain in the keister.

Hi !

Good work on last version, just missing a custom private mode (see name but not message)...
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
I'd like to be able to configure the notification vibration like handcent or chomp :)
[Android Apps and Games] agentxq49:
seems like GOsms has large shoes to fill with the likes of handcent around......

i think that some things handcent has should be a staple for GO.

Eg Notification still on when we ignore a quick text.

continuous ringing every interval when we dont read the sms

and the usual bugs to strighten.

i would like to see contact pictures when selecting contacts. cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] cortk:
It's really nice and pretty. I like using it way more than handcent or chomp.

However, I would like to see password/pattern locking introduced. It's the thing stopping me from using it at the moment...

How about adding sms bubbles without the "GO" branding for the notifications? I like the normal android notification icon more, but this isn't a big deal.

I might have found a bug. I installed 1.3.8 and then downloaded the new year (2011Red) theme. Then today an update for 1.3.9 comes out and with new "new year" themes. I updated to the new version and downloaded the new themes. I have my theme set to 2011night and now I when I get a text message i get 2 popups, 1 with the 2011red theme and 1 with the 2011night theme. Is anyone else having this problem.

thanks in advance....tannerj

I just DL Go sms for my evo 4g and I am liking it so far. I was using handcent b4. My only issues that I cant figure out is how come my enter button was changed to a smiley button and I dont know how to change it back. Other sms programs I have used in the past did the same thing but I was able to figure out how to get the enter key back but I cant with this new app. Can someone let me know where the setting is at or how to make the change. If I loose function of the enter key this would be a deal breaker for me. I had the palm pre b4 and there was no enter key when using sms and I hated that. By the way I am using Swift Key as my keyboard. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
If you do this, please make it an option because I disagree with the poster and really like the size as it is now.
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
I am now using 1.39, and I find that the notifications are very inconsistent. I have it set to wake the screen with the pop-up, but not unlock the phone. Usually, it will work as it should, where the screen comes on, I see the pop-up in the background, and once I swipe to unlock, I can quicky reply and do things. HOWEVER, sometimes the screen will light up correctly, but then turn off after about 2 seconds. This isn't a big deal, as it only adds 1 extra step (pushing on button), but it is a slight inconvenience. Also, I think it may be related to other issues people are having with the notifications.

Love the app though, and don't have any other problems with it that others are having.

BTW- on a Droid2

Phone types all "home"?

Loving GO, but having one problem I can't figure out. Whenever I use quick compose or compose from the app, when typing in the recipient name, all matching phone numbers are showing up with phone type = home. So if someone has a home number and a mobile number in my contacts, both numbers show up in GO as "home". Makes it impossible to know which number to pick. I verified that the stock SMS app and Handcent are not doing this.

This is what's going on for me, too. It happens on mine more often than not. It's a little annoying. My keyboard doesn't go away after "send" either. That's the update I really wanted, too.

I'm on an HTC Evo.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
The latest version has cleared up all of the bugs for me. Sometimes I have to hit back a few times to get back to the Home screen but the keyboard isn't staying on the screen (I use Swype for verticle typing and have a hardware keyboard for horizontal typing). Very pleased with this light weight program!!
[Android Apps and Games] sag7392:
I'm having the same issue as well. Not all the time, but every now and then. The option for a slightly larger pop-up window would be good as well. Loving this app though!

Drives me nuts too. I switched to a Fascinate that has Swype, and I have an enter key in Swype, but if i switch to swift key or the default keyboard it goes back to smiley button.

Now that you mention it, the keyboard is not going away for me either. It never did with the update, so I am just used to it from previous versions. Would be nice if it did though.
