I am also having the issue where my mms are not the full size that I set in the new options. It's still making them so small they are not very good on the other side. Please fund a way to fix this.

Otherwise this is an awesome app, keep up the great work!

Bugs & Feature Requests

Hello,

Awesome program so far! Hard to believe Android didn't already have something like this. I guess that's why it's "open", eh? lol.

Although I do intend to continue using GoSMS as it's lighter and faster than Handcent, and it sends (and receives) quicker, I do have some issues and feature requests, as described below:

Bugs / Issues I've Experienced:

Every time I update GoSMS, I have to do a full uninstall, reinstall. If I don't, then I receive two notifications (usually about 5 seconds apart) for inbound text messages (although only one actually shows in the thread). Completely uninstalling and reinstalling fixes this issue. This has been on going through 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5.

The soft keyboard does not always go away after sending a message, despite the "bug fix revision log" saying the problem was fixed.

Feature Requests:

Vibration Pattern (i.e. similar to what Handcent offered: long or short pulses, 1 vibration, 2 vibration, ..., 5 vibrations, etc.)

Reminders for unread messages, including the ability to have a different notification tone for a reminder (I do recall reading that reminders are already being worked on, so that's good!)

Ability to toggle on/off the feature for the pop-up to show up every time (regardless if you're playing a game, video, etc), or only when the phone is locked. I think this was under Handcent's "Privacy Mode" if you're not familiar to what feature I'm referring to.

Custom notifications (and settings) by contact
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
Sorry for double post, but is anybody else having the issue that gosms looses its settings after a while? I got an empty folder called gosms. Are the configuration files in there? Or are some folders created in data or dbdata (not for me)?

Need help so I can use gosms longer than an hour :-) thanks ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
using 1.50, I still have the issue on LG p500 of notification on lock screen until I read it from stock sms

I also still have the issue of keyboard not poping up when I use a contact shortcut to trigger a sms

And thanks for the french translation but on the popup notification, "envoyer" is cut with "r" on the second line
[Android Apps and Games] Bricolo_fr:
Hi,

I just started to use go sms, great app! :)

Before that I was using hanscent sms but I find it too slow (maybe that got worse with the new versions, it wasn't slow before)

I have a few issues/advices

-sms popup does not show on my lockscreen. the screen wakes up but it shows the unlock pattern and not the popup

-the small popup "message received by ...." is great! could you just display the name instead of the phone number?

-the top bar "inbox" is rather big on my hvga device. can it be made thinner?

-one really nice option in handcent was the ability to show the keyboard when you compose a new message to someone (with the search button long press, for example)

Bonjour,

Il est toujours impossible d'envoyer des sms aux groupes de contact Gmail, car les seuls groupes dispo sont:

- Famille

- Collègues

- Amis

- Il manque tous les groupe Gmail

Merci de corriger ce problème.

Bravo pour cette fantastique application

Hello,

It is still impossible to send text messages to Gmail contact groups, because the only groups available are:

- Family

- Colleagues

- Friends

- Missing all the Gmail group

Thank you for correcting this problem.

Congratulations on this fantastic application

Feature Request...

Notification on 1st unread incoming SMS only. Some people tend to fire off a lot of SMS messages in a short time, and sometimes you don't much feel like attending to it right away. I'd like an option to only receive the audible notification on their first incoming text, then all subsequent messages from the same person won't trigger a notification unless I've read all their current SMS messages. This way I wouldn't have to keep hearing my phone beep at me every minute or two while I'm in the middle of something.

The feature should have two options... Notify on 1st unread for all messages globally, and notify on 1st unread per sender.
[Android Apps and Games] joafandina:
Thanks for this great app, finally ive got a market access and downloaded it...

Is there anyway to set a custom contact notification like in Handcent SMS ???
[Android Apps and Games] scholar79:
That's interesting. That'd be a cool feature to have!
[Android Apps and Games] goninph:
It already exists in the parameters
[Android Apps and Games] scholar79:
It does? Where? Notifications are not affected by the "grouping" feature.
[Android Apps and Games] jeebuz:
All I want is a bit more free customization of the conversation colors. Basically it overlays the true color of what you're inputting in the sliders with the default colors of the theme chosen.... making a nice (relative to me) color sometimes very difficult to attain.
[Android Apps and Games] overthinkingme:
try a different mms user agent. On cm6 I have to change it to "Blackberry 8800" to get full sized mms pictures. You can change it, on cm6, in the stock Messaging app's options.
[Android Apps and Games] xiewangkai:
Thanks for sharing!~
[Android Apps and Games] kashifsiddique:
That isn't necessarily the problem for me along with him, it is that, when I send an MMS picture below the limit (or even above) the MMS limit i set, for example, 300K. The images are still auto resized to 20-40KB even if the image is below 300K when it sends.

So if I send myself a pic, it will just come at 20-40KB since that's the size the was sent at even if the image was ~250KB.

(However, when tried in Handscent, it works fine)
[Android Apps and Games] cadon69:
Yes this is exactly what is happening. I also tested in Handcent to make sure, but this is not a show stopper for me so I am continuing to use Go and hoping for a fix in a future update.

[Android Apps and Games] roganjosh:
I've noticed in the latest update for this app that the keyboard key that was formerly a smilies key (bottom right) is now an enter key... Is there any way to change this back? I'm using the Swype keyboard but the same thing happens with the stock Android keyboard. They key is still a smilies key in the stock messaging app.

I know I can add a smilie by pressing menu > insert face, but this adds a smilie at the end of the message, regardless of where the cursor is in the message.

currently goSms shows all my contacts when i create a new sms and choose a contact. contacts shown are from, google, sms, and phone. it would be nice to choose which contact source to display, such as only google contacts.

any new information about the motorola contact facebook pics?
[Android Apps and Games] Master619:
In the main interface (inbox) it just shows threads with phone numbers on it, not actual names from the contacts. The default sms app can show the contact names. How can I change this?

Edit: one more thing. When I compose a new message and then click the "+" button to add contacts to send to, a contact list appears (not the default contacts, maybe the built in go sms contacts?). And in that contact list there is NO contact, which means I cannot choose anyone to send to. How can i fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] migpol08:
GO SMS!

It would of be perfect if there were more customization options, contacts customization, more notification icons and customization settings (like handcent), and a lock feature! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] TruTechGeek:
+ 1 for more notification icons , especially more that are similar to stock messaging apps ( envelopes , etc ) but besides that WONDERFUL app!
[Android Apps and Games] Dino.:
This is a very good thread and it would be ideal to add to the market page (i had trouble finding it also, and ended up emailing this issue beforehand)

Anyways,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S and am using the Go SMS with the quick reply pop-up notification. However replying with the quick reply pop-up notification, the messages received do not show up in the message thread in the actual app.

Is this a know issue? Because I have tried to search for a setting but can not find one. I love the quick reply option but if I can't refer back to the received message I might got back to handcent SMS until this issue addressed.

Also an option to change the "draft" and paper clip attachment icon would be nice to have a really complete inbox customization. Although that is not a major issue.
[Android Apps and Games] vincent.hsy:
If I reply a SMS immediately it is received (eg, from the popup on the home screen)... the conversation will display the SMSes in the wrong order.

In the conversation view, my SMS should be at the bottom because is the latest, but it will be shown above the SMS that I received.

That would be really great :D

[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:

[Android Apps and Games] MrBusiness:
I am allways using the pop up to respond and my message thread is in correct order. No issue here - SGS, Android 2.2.1

And please add the "resend" feature, I had to switch to the stock sms app, because I couldn't find it in GO SMS!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Until a more intuitive process is added, you can long press->edit->send in order to resend a failed message.
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
You can do it even more easily by pressing (normally) the unsent message, then click send as it will have been copied in the send box :)

But a resend function would be cool :D

Edit : I'm suddenly unsure of what I just said. But I think it did work for me. (fact is, I just tested it on a sent message, and it didn't. So maybe it only works with unsent messages)
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
We need a 'Resend Option'

That 'more intuitive process' has been requested four times by just me, nevermind the other requests, and not one has been responded to by the developers :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I'm not a developer, of course, but I am not sure the issue is as universally urgent as it appears to be to you. Know what I mean?

I am sure it is on their list and planned, but just because you ask for it four times (your words, I didn't verify, lol) doesn't mean that they will increase the priority of any change. The reality is that there IS a way to do it. I agree, it is not the most intuitive way. That said... it works, it's not a zillion taps, etc.

I know the adjustments we want are always the most important in our minds.

Just my thoughts. Will you reaffirm your request each time I give someone direction/assistance on how to resend under the current version?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
No, I'm just puzzled, because more obscure feature requests have been acknowledged by the developers.
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
Same thing happens to me. I am on the Desire HD. I looked at the stock SMS client and the same thing occurred.
[Android Apps and Games] marda:

Loving Go SMS just seems snappier than Chomp which I had been using since I got my Evo.

Didn't go through the thread (and I apologize if it's been asked for before, or if I'm missing it in the options) but would it be possible to get a character count on the popup when a new message comes in?

Don't know how difficult that would be to implement.

Keep up the awesome work.
[Android Apps and Games] Sian:
Hi, would developer consider adding these features:

1) Customised ringtone/alert tone for individual contact e.g. different alert tone when a sms arrived from specific contact

2) Indicate the number of characters user has typed in the pop up reply text box so that user will know whether the msg length has exceed 1, 2 or 3 sms.

Shows correctly on the popup notification, but after reading it simply disappears!

Anyone? Some help needed here.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Why are my short outgoing msgs being split?

This is rather annoying! It happened with Handcent, and now it's happening with Go SMS. Every time I send a message of greater than 10 words, the SMS is split into multiple parts, each of 10 words, with the leftover words in the last part.

Even all short messages of less than 160 characters are split. I can understand a msg longer than that number being split, which is the norm, but even when it does that, it doesn't put 160 characters in one and, say, 40 in the other; no, it splits it into "X" number of messages, each 10 words.

Quite annoying.

2) I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue, but on my Samsung Vibrant I cannot make GoSMS vibrate for notification at all.
[Android Apps and Games] wingz85:
Go SMS is a great app, please keep up the good work.

One small thing, is there a way to insert a number from the phonebook into a msg or does android handle that?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] empulse:
Made the switch last night =)

It def seems faster than Handcent, which I like!

One of the things I'm missing most (as are lots of other users!) is individualized tones for different contacts, and LED customization for different contacts.

The other thing that I'm really frustrated with, is I can't figure out how to change the conversastion background for an individual contact. Is there a way to do this?? Different backgrounds makes it much easier to not sent sexts to my wife instead of my girlfriend and vice versa ;) Is there currently a way to do this?! If not, please add it!

Thanks for all your work! Keep at it.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I'm using the newest version, 1.60.

One strange thing I noticed is that when I change the vibrate option from "always vibrate" to "Vibration for mute mode only" it changed my ringtone for incoming messages to silent, and I had to rechoose my ringtone.

Also, it would be nice to have the option to disable the (+) next to the text compose box.. the one that opens Smiley, Contact card, Quick text, etc. and always have them all available when you press menu.
[Android Apps and Games] n2droid:
Anyone else think that creating a new thread for every release is spamming the forum? e.g. individual threads from version 1.39 to v1.60 instead of a single GO Sms thread that includes a changelog etc. Merge them perhaps?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I hadn't notice another thread??
[Android Apps and Games] goninph:
GO Sms v1.60 released: les groupe sont inclus, mais ne fonctionne pas correctement:

- N'affiche pas tous les contacts du groupe.

- Les groupes ne sont triés par ordre alphabétique.

- Les systèmes groupe sont à double, voir à triple ???? (Seulement dans Go-Sms)

Il faut ajouter une option:

- Cacher certains groupes, car il y a des groupes, que je n'ai pas dans mes contacts

GO Sms v1.60 released: the band are included, but not working properly:

- Does not show all contacts in the group.

- The groups are not sorted. Alphabetically by example

- The systems group is to double or even triple?? (Only in Go-Sms)

It should add an option:

- Hide some groups because there are groups that I am not in my contacts
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
When using the default dark theme to look like stock Android sms app, I think the timestamp should not be first. The stock Android sms timestamp looks better because it is at the end of the message. It would be nice to have an option to put it there.

Also, it would be great to have customization options for background color for incoming and outgoing texts, so we can make it similar to the stock SMS app, and I think is easier to see than only different font color for incoming and outgoing.

I am VERY close to fully switching from Handcent to GO SMS!

The problem with the MMS pictures being resized to super small (20-40kb) still happens even if the original size is lower than the maximum size.

Example:

Max MMS Size in Settings: 500K

Size of the image I want to send: 275K

Size of the image that is actually sent: 24K

Size of the image received: 24K

However, with handscent I will send 275K and receive 275K

Could you maybe theme the security lock screen too, according to the chosen theme (Android, iPhone, etc?).

Does anyone else have the problem of not being able to send MMS messages when on wifi only? On an Evo, anytime 3G and 4G are off and just connected to wifi, I can never send out an MMS message.

Another thing, with SMS popup enabled, does anyone else have the problem of it not recognizing split messages from the same person?

Handcent was such garbage but it got those two things right and this is killing me :(
[Android Apps and Games] alexthearmo:
Thank you! Google groups now work! v1.6 is really fast!

One thing that I really liked about handcent is that if you are sending a text to a lot of people, you can click on the top of the text message where all their names are and it will bring up a list of everyone that the message is going to go to, and then you you can uncheck people off that list. It is much easier than scrolling through all the numbers and deleting them by hand. If you could make that in the next release, that'd be amazing! Thank you! :D

You guys are my favorite!

One other thing I just noticed is:

The keyboard (swype in my case) doesn't work on the quick reply if Go is in the background (like if I just click on HOME button while in it; instead of backing out of it) and I receive a text message. I have to open the message to reply.

Where as if the if I back out of the app and it is not sitting in the background and I receive a text message I can use the keyboard just fine to reply. I have noticed it in the past but didn't really do any testing until today.

I am on a VZW Fascinate.
