Hi,

When I receive an sms, the popup appear, I answer or I go to the discussion view and I don't see how to go to the discussions list (by contacts) from there.

Am I missing something ?
[Android Apps and Games] kronflux:
would this app allow the possibility of a blackberry style SMS?

Basically, I'm using an HTC Status(ChaCha), and I'm used to blackberries(hence my choice of android phone) but I absolutely -hate- the sms. it's all full of bubbles, and too much info in each message(their full name, for example. as well as their phone number) and the input box has the attach button(for attaching photos and files) which makes the input box take up half of the freakin' screen!

I just want my simplistic sms back!

[Android Apps and Games] kurtph1969:
It would seem that you CAN actually restore previous backups once you are registered. Click on restore sms, then there is an option to locally restore. What concerns me more, is that this is all marked as a 'trial', so it looks like Gosms is going the way of Handcent and it will be a 'paid for' service in the future.

There are plenty of good sms back up apps out there. Use them. This back up is clearly ****.
[Android Apps and Games] chrcol:
they really removed local backups?

thats a bad move.

I am against all backups that use google,gmail services they end up restoring all my gmail contacts that I dont want on my phone and also require an internet connection.

go sms pro local backup feature is great for me it restores all the dates etc. perfectly. Looks like I will be keeping 4.30 permanently and hope it has no security holes.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

I dont know of any.

my backup root loses all the dates on the sms messages so when restored they all have the restore date.

go sms pro's backup feature on 4.30 is great, used it for many rom reinstalls.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
What kind of error are you getting? For this and the last couple of versions, my text to speech simply doesn't work. I speak, the phone detects my voice, shows me 3 options from which to choose, and when I select one nothing shows up on GoSMS. The text box is simply blank.
[Android Apps and Games] dacbeth:
I am confused, under Setting Backup and Restore there is a choice for Backup settings to SD card and a restore from Sd card. I have used this without any sign in or going to the cloud. In fact I uninstalled the last version and did a fresh install for this version, then restored my settings from the sd card.

Sorry I see that you are referencing backup for the messages.

GO Share service?

I have just discovered a problem with sending MMS pictures. When selecting a picture I get " GO Share service", which on reading places MMS pic to a location where anyone can see it instead of multi send I assume. The problem is when I send I get a % clock over the picture and it only gets to 27% nothing else happens?

How can I Stop/Remove this stupid GO Share service, if I want to send to multi recipients I prefer to do it my way.

TIA

GO SMS PRO team,

Please read the reviews of the HTC Amaze/Ruby community. Since HTC released ICS on our devices a lot of things haven't been working properly. I don't get any notifications when I receive a text, when send a text it sends to wrong contact, even though 'show unread text count in notification icon' is checked it doesn't show, i try to do a custom vibrate setting but doesn't change from the default one, and i still continue to send and get double text. Thank you

I hate this new 'forced' cloud backup service with the latest update.

I have no idea what could have been wrong if they had left it on us to decide.

Secondly, I did create a new account, backed up on cloud. installed a new ROM and now and now I don't remember the username for the new account. No option like forget password or something like that too. Basically, I have lost all my SMS's on cloud in some account, that I don't know and can't retrieve.
[Android Apps and Games] Arjs:
Last time I remember I made a backup, there was no need for registration.

Now, today when I want to restore my backup, gosms is forcing me to register?

I rolled back to the v4.50 and will not update, until this foolish thing is removed.

This is the last one which allows to backup locally.

Get this cloud-only backup and restore OFF this program until you can make it work!

You didn't make cloud backup/restore an alternate, instead you quietly made it the ONLY way to backup/restore as of 4.52. First off, I don't want you in charge of storing my SMS messages. Period. But you didn't even ask.

Secondly, you even disabled LOCAL backup/restore, rendering all my past backups null and void.

Thirdly, your half-hearted attempt at a "cloud" backup fails twice - once on authentication and yet again on file retrieval. Go ahead - try to move your data to another phone and watch what happens.

Who's running that place over there? How can mess like this get past your QA?

Thank heavens for this site - somebody posted a 4.51 link, back before you guys mangeled this program beyond recognition

I understand this is a free service but this app dev is branching out in so many areas and features/other apps YET it can't even maintain their most important one, GO SMS PRO.

It has reached the point where I don't even recommend it to anyone anymore. It's as if the original developers have all disappeared and the app was taken over by some group of idiots whose primary goal is to make this as confusing, elaborate, and stupid as possible.

Why can't the original developers leave well enough alone and focus on what this app is supposed to do--send and receive SMS/MMS messages?

Hi

Long time i didn't report any bugs, sounds like this app is very stable :)

By the way i just swap my phone to a Htc One S and encounter a strange behavior with the lock security pattern and the latest version.

It simply did not work when clicking on the shortcut of gosmspro. Nad strangely it works when clicking on the notification area on a just received sms.

If I can help by sending things , let me know.

Thx a lot

Bad move indeed.

So next move on my side :

2) reload every backup files back to phone to not lost any thing i've backed up times ago

3) Backup with another sms backup tool on my sdcard

4) Uninstall all GO products i have on my phone.

I'd love to stay with GO SMS but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Several updates ago my message list became very slow to update. I'd leave a conversation and go to the list and it wouldn't have updated to show the latest messages. It was slow enough that I could click on one and it would take me to the wrong conversation as it updated once I clicked.

Here are the other issues:

About 25% of the time when I reply to a message from the popup notification, it doesn't actually send the message and there's no record of it.

The whole phone lags when a message is being received. If I'm typing, auto-correct and word suggestions don't work, and there's a huge lag in showing what I've typed.

Messages fail to send or get stuck "sending" and I don't realize they haven't gone through.

I'm using an HTC One X on AT&T.

Hey!

Is it possible for someone using GO SMS to get smart alert function working on Samsung Galaxy SIII?
[Android Apps and Games] Pivo99:
I'm using GO SMS and I've got a problem where I get multiple threads opening for the same person. Basically every time they send me a new message it starts a new thread. So by the time I'm done having a short conversation I have about 20 new threads from the same person. Were both using GO and I'm not sure if there's a problem on his side of things or mine. Has anyone had this problem or can help me out?
[Android Apps and Games] ITPython:
So are you guys ever going to lower the app's priority level so it can function properly with Avast's anti-theft feature? (and I would assume every other anti-theft app that relies on SMS commands).

I love this app and it was perfect for me, but because it does not work correctly with Avast (because it's priority is maxed out) I have to use other SMS apps with the correct priority but they aren't nearly as configurable (like Pansi).

Please consider fixing this, Avast is extremely popular, and if your SMS app isn't compatible many people will either stop using it or never use it to begin with.
