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:

In popup window (when new SMS arrives), when you reply to message (via same window), SMS character counter would be nice.

Tip no 3:

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.

This app seems really great. I would totally be using this as my default app if i liked any of the themes. It's so freaking quick!

Seriously though you guys should just make a super basic theme with like a flat black header and some minimal style bubbles like these: :D http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=7463

You could even make a black version and a white version and they would look sweeeeeeeeet.

Ohh and what's up with the chat bubbles in the current themes? Like for example in the iPhone theme the outgoing bubbles are pretty much impossible to customize because the default color is green and any changes you make to the color just happens over the green color. Like, you couldn't even make them white if you wanted to.

Sorry if I did a bad job explaining that I am kind of tired.

If it's some kind of limitation in your coding you guys should just make the chat bubbles white in future themes so the user can choose what color they want them to be.

But yeah, seriously. I want to use this app so bad because it's so damn quick and nice but i really just can't put up with any of the current themes.

Overall though, great job to the dev team. Major respect to you guys. I can tell you really put a lot into this and it seems like you really listen to the users. Which is great, not a lot of devs do that to the extent that you do. Keep up the good work I am really looking forward to updates in the future. Thanks for everything!!

After hitting "send" on an sms, my screen remains at the composition screen instead of automatically redirecting to inbox.

I have a SE X10 mini.
[Android Apps and Games] Bricolo_fr:
any news about a feature to show the popup even if the screen is off, and even if there is a lock pattern enabled?

chomp and handcent have this and it's really a nice feature :)

I experience a bug sometimes. when I use the quick reply box in the popup, the text input is not made in the popup window. The text I write opens a search function (like if I press the search button on my phone). Strange

Notifications in the dock work only in Go Launcher EX if you have a separate app installed: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.golauncherex.notification

(I don't know if it works with regular Go Launcher and Launcher Pro)
[Android Apps and Games] Jerniya:
Help!

Why is it telling me that I can only send messages to fixed dialing numbers?? How do I change this?
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Use handcent. Another big hang up for me. GoSMS only supports phone numbers (Dialing number) and not email address. :(
[Android Apps and Games] bumhole:
This app looks much nicer than handcent, i like it more.

1 recommendation:

Can you make the pin security lock auto go in when press the correct pin without having to press the ok/confirm button? It will be much faster going into the app. Also can you make the pin number buttons a big bigger so it is easier to press? Just like in handcent.

Keep up the good work. Also can you put date when you release new verison?

thanks

option to have a double beep when on call instead of vibrate cause caller can hear it
[Android Apps and Games] parousia15:
I just sent an email but I forgot to state which phone I am using.

After reading through this thread it looks like I am not the only one with the problem.

I am not able to send mms through wifi at all and most times with 3g mms it does not send either. I receive images fine. whenever I try to send an image, the little white envelope is continually running indicating that it's send, but it never does. Last night I sent an image and this morning I saw that it was still "sending" and it killed my battery.

I dont have this problem with stock or handcent.

Some questions

I have a few questions:

1. Is there a way to make the text bubbles brighter like the stock android app? The blue and yellow are too dark

2. Can the time stamp on each text be within each text box (like the stock android app) instead of centered between each individual text box?
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Please change "Normal" Vibrate back to the way it was before, like around version 1.60. It used to be more like the default Messaging app, which is good. Now it's just one long vibration, which is what "Long" should be. I'd use "Short" but it vibrates too many times.

Also, please fix MMS photo resizing.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Agreed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
You're lucky! Ever since 1.60, I haven't even HAD vibration capability. It disappeared completely and permanently. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, GO SMS support sending message to email, but you need to type email address for now, you cant select it from contact list.

custom notifacations mismatch

Hi Go SMS team!

I'm using your excellent GO SMS app but I discovered one problem - the customized setting don't stick. For example, I choose some global notification ringtone (let's say "tone A") and then set some dedicated ringtone to selected user ("tone B"). It seems that the last selected setting applies globaly.

So in this case the global ringtone changes to B. The same thing is in other notification settings.

Can you take a look at this problem? I'm running GO SMS v1.88.
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
I've recently switched from the stock app and SMS Popup to GO Sms for good. Trying it out and so far it's been working well.

Three things that I noticed or would like to be fixed:

1. The popup doesn't always unlock the screen despite being it set to do so, it only lights the screen up. It's something like 1/10 cases; not a big issue though.

2. If possible, I would like to see character count in the landscape mode; I think some users already mentioned it.

3. Individual notification does not work with the reminder. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be - if yes, I'd rather see it changed. More specifically: there's a contact with individual icon and led color (both blue; I use the same ringtone as in the default notification) -> I receive a text from this contact, popup, blue icon and blue led appear -> after not reading the message there's a reminder notification, but this time the icon and led color are default (in my case purple). Am I not seeing some setting?

Keep up the good work!

1. You can customize the bubble and text colors in the settings.

2. I don't think it's possible in the current version.
[Android Apps and Games] MoneyAddyct:
I've tried customizing the color but for whatever reason--having only green, blue, and red--the color isn't coming out bright enough. I can make yellow, for instance, by raising the green and red levels and lowering the blue level but even still it's a very dark (and rather unappealing) yellow. I'd be nice if there were several different colors to choose from instead of this sliding scale option.
[Android Apps and Games] odub303:
Really digging the app. The only things I could really still want are a simple black theme (echoing an earlier commenter's sentiments) and the ability to group messages according to sender in the widget. Right now hitting the right or left arrows takes you to the immediately prior or later message. If possible, can you implement an option that would change the arrows such that they move between conversations (threads) instead of individual messages? Having this functionality, along with the ability to move within conversations in the widget, would almost make opening the actual app a rare occasion. Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] tta_rom:
Love the app. Never had trouble with it until a couple of days ago. Now it refuses to send any text. It comes up with "error code -33001". Stock messenger has no problem as well as other 3rd party messengers. Would love to go back to GOSMS if you could help...

thank u very much
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
me too, on SE x10 mini pro.

usually will be expecting to go back to the previous screen (conversation thread, or which ever it was) after tap "Send" sms. can this be fixed..? ^^"
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
not sure for GO Launcher... this is for Go Launcher EX as i'm using it:

download and install "Go Launcher EX Notification" from market.

In Go Launcher EX, Preferences -> Dock settings, enable "Unread text message count".

notification tone fails

hello :)

was downloading and experiencing with a few sms apps since last night, i'm lucky i came across GO Sms, it's neat, not messy/confusing in settings, and with decent themes, love it~

however in my phone the notification tone fails when being customised. no sound is produced when it is set to other than "Default ringtone". i've browsed through the last few pages in this thread and been googling around, found no similar problem raised so i'm posting it here ^^"

i've picked an mp3 (00:08, which i dont think the length actually matters) from Select ringtone -> Music -> mp3 -> OK. it'll return to previous setting screen, Test notification, only vibration and status bar notification works, with no ringtone. again tap into Select ringtone, i can see Current ringtone is selected, and when tap on Current ringtone it sounds perfectly. it just doesnt work as notification.

this problem is reproducible when receiving sms, and run Test notification. it occurs the same for Sent notification (Enabled). most likely Reminder sound and Sending failure tone are having the same problem.

i'm now using GO Sms with the Default ringtone (which is working fine). i have v1.88 installed in my x10 mini pro (U20i), running on 2.1 Eclair.

hope this can be fixed soon. really love apps from GO Dev team, (have also deleted all other home launchers but keeping GO Launch EX which i downloaded last night together with GO Sms :P).

Thank you for making our droids a better place~ xD
[Android Apps and Games] kuruptnation:
FYI, that's your personal opinion. I don't think you speak for the whole community, little own everyone else in this thread who loves this app.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Simple concept.

Sorry to jump on you, but we aren't part of a hive mind you know ;)

P.S. I really like this app and keep looking forward to more improvements. Your team is doing an outstanding job.

Doesn't feel bloated at all like the other sms apps around *COUGH* Chomp etc :D
[Android Apps and Games] DanCran:
Just downloaded this. Loving it!
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Using GO SMS along with SMS Notifier will give you the perfect SMS app combo. With SMS Notifier, you can have Handcent's in-depth notification system as GO SMS's is lacking currently. The only option missing is setting different notifications for different contacts which I eagerly await in either app.

Just search 'SMS Notifier' in the Android Market. :)
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
I didn't say I don't like this app. I love it and it's my default messaging app right now. What I'm trying to say is having a unique style is better. And I said most of Android users don't like iPhone style according to my observations. Of course there are people who don't think in that way. It's my opinion and the devs can consider if they want.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
I honestly don't care if they simulate WinMo's style -- as long as it looks good and works well. Don't be a fanboy, man. Let's be honest, the iPhone theme is very nice (much nicer than Handcent's failed attempt at it). I'm using it until another theme with equal aesthetics comes out.
[Android Apps and Games] ratchet789:
im with you on this its a nice sms app its stable and it works well no complaints here on the iphone theme if you dont like it then dont use it.

also for people wanting to set go sms as your messaging app when you have a message pull down drop bar it should give you the ability to set it so it opens it as your new default sms also using go launcher not sure if that has anything to do with it being set.

edit: to remove you stock sms notification from the task bar go messaging setting-->notifications setting--> uncheck.
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
iPhone theme is very nice but if I want my phone to look like an iPhone I would buy an iPhone. And I'm not a fanboy. I was using iPhone before I've got a Desire. I just wanted to have unique UI but never mind, I gave up because of you guys :D
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
you guys are acting like the iphone theme is the only one there. theres two others. the iphone theme is nice yea, but its not my style, but to each their own. no big deal ya know?
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Exactly. Use what you like. If there was an equally aesthetically pleasing theme that didn't resemble the iPhone's, I would use it. As of right now, I prefer the iPhone theme. To each his own, indeed. ;) Can't wait for this app to become something huge! It has a lot of potential.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
im really into the DX and kik type messaging. i usually edit mine to that. heres what it looks like now. have to do some more editing. things are a little too close.

This is awesome, but how do i make i default from the normal messaging on my Android? Because i get 2 notification 1Go SMS and 2Normal messaging.

Any assistance would be nice. i am running 2.2.1 btw
[Android Apps and Games] jrr1421:
keyboard up by default?

I use chomp and I like the option to have the virtual keyboard automatically popped up when I enter a conversation. It's nice to have, to me, with phones like the droid x. Any way you could add this option in a future release? Also, what about the option to always return to the conversation list after leaving a the application (if it's not there)?

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] jrr1421:
"This is awesome, but how do i make i default from the normal messaging on my Android? Because i get 2 notification 1Go SMS and 2Normal messaging."

in the default app, just go into messaging settings and untick notifications.

[Android Apps and Games] beejizzle:
Hello, just recently found out about this app. It's replaced handcent and is now my favourite.

Although, I have to ask about facebook contact pictures. It works flawless in the contactlist and conversation but when I'm on homescreen and the popup shows i can only see a silhuette contact. The facebookpicture isn't working there,,is this a known "bug"?

Also would be nice if the themes were more themable by the user, för example, I noticed I wasn't allowed to change conversation type to bubbles instead of list on some themes.

Anyway, loving it! Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] jakeh0:
i love this app but i wish i could preview my vibration settings when i change them instead of having to text my phone from google voice on my pc. i used to have 2 short vibrations for a text and 3 for emails, but now cannot replicate that on gosms. any tips?
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
I thought there's already a simple Dark theme available.
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
I also thought so in the first place, but now we have the option to "Custom" that. :D

Try:

0,750

if still feel the vibration is long, lower the value of "750" to a smaller number, until you're satisfied with the vibration duration. you could always tap "Test notification" in settings to test it out.
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
2 short vibrations (customise out of existing "Short" vibration :P) can be:

0,300,100,300

it's like:

waiting-time,vibration-time,waiting-time,vibration-time

adjust the numbers to your liking. as mentioned above, you could always tap "Test notification" in settings to test out your customised notification, instead of having to text your phone for testing all the time... sweet eh? great consideration from developers :)

GoSMS doesn't send MMS messages through wifi only.

What I mean is, turn off 3G or your data connection and connect to wifi. Now try to send an MMS message. It won't go through.

The stock HTC messaging app and Handcent don't have this problem, so I know the developers for GoSMS can make this work.

Is there a way to get sms count with launcher pro dock icon ?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
ya. mine has been working fine. just make sure you make the sms icon go to your default go sms & make sure you set LP settings to count your unread sms (disabled by default) then it'll look similar to:

I tried, and doesnt work on x10, even with the default go sms icon, or custom icon, and sms count is enable in LP, worked with handcent..... :(

Ok find a way. you need to first take the default LP icon, get a sms, and then change with custom icon... then it works....

Hi Guys,

Im using Go Sms and when i received a MMS, i click on the file to download, it says file currently cannot download. i dont no what the prob is. In the settings of Go Sms, it says go to the built it messaging app's setting and enable the MMS auto retrieve. I check the stock messaging app and there is no setting for that. In handcent, there is that option in the setting.

How do i fix this prob?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sumasage:
I used GO Launcher for a while now and recently came across GO SMS. Tried it and love it, faster than TouchWiz stock sms. Few things i want to request:

- Allow customization of new message, when i get a new message it just have the "New" in the top right corner. If possible the dev make it so we can customize a color instead of the "New" in the corner. I like the gingerbread sms look.

- In the Bubble conversation style, can you make it so we can align the date. It just look odd with the date in the center.

Thanks for the awesome apps.
[Android Apps and Games] SK328CI:
ah just figured out how to replicate this. type message in portrait mode, send message, go to landscape mode, and the last word shows up in the input box.

is TMobile Vibrant Froyo
[Android Apps and Games] raychi:
ahh, i get u now.

ok, that can be customised. after setting to Dark theme, do the followings:

Appearance Settings -> Inbox customization -> Background -> Color

Set:

Red - 0

Green - 0

Blue - 0

now you get BLACK as your inbox background, as you can see the color immediately reflects on the screen as you adjust the "color bar". press back button and you'll get a prompt to save your settings (so you can load the saved settings when u change theme next time).

Repeat the same on

Appearance Settings -> Conversation customization -> Background -> Color

You can also adjust colors for the font colors to your likings :)

Inbox customization:

Contact font color

Time and message font color

Conversation customization:

Incoming font color

Outgoing font color

Date font color

etc

for your reference, my personalized settings:

Contact font color:

Red - 255

Green - 255

Blue - 200

will get a pale yellow (to beige), which stands out on the black background

Time and message font color:

Red - 190

Green - 150

Blue - 200

will get a nice purple here

have fun playing with the color bars. ;)

I'd like to know a few things. I use blue steel theme from JonnyBueno for Launcher EX. Example here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/adwtheme-blue-steel/com.jonnybueno.bluesteel

I would love a theme that matched that for gosms, it would be truly excellent.

How do I switch easily from Inbox to Outbox/Sent/Drafts?

More importantly, on my notification screen it says 3 unread messages, but when I look in gosms there is none with the "new" on them. How do I tell if they are unread or find all unread messages instantly?

Also I'd like to vote for a more straight forward way of knowing if a message is inbound or outbound. Ideally a down arrow for inbound, and an up arrow for sent, and in terms of if a message is read or unread, open or closed envelope.

I like your app and I hope these suggestions don't offend.
