Recent contact list

Using Desire 2.2 with Google contact list and no contacts on Phone.

The Recent contact list doesn't seem to be correct.

It does not show the most recent person i just received and sent an SMS to.

It is showing numbers of calls and i received before i installed GO SMS.

Also, it is showing a contact multiple times (5 times to be exact)

Is there a way to clear the Recent contact list, or even removing duplicated contacts, without deleting the SMS received?

I rebooted the phone but it doesn't help.

Nice application. Like others though I would like to chime in and ask for 'flat conversation style' as an alternative to bubbles.

Bubbles are terrible.

If it's not too much of a bother, icons for 'receive confirmation pending' (orange ? orso) would be convenient. Or appearance customization (size of threads in the inbox, display picture size) would be nice additions, but none as desperately needed as a flat conversation style.

YEs...definite need...and a widget with counter.
[Android Apps and Games] ronandi:
Anyway to change the notification icon to the one my stock mms app uses?
[Android Apps and Games] Alegis:
Another request: it's easy to lose notifications from messages you didn't check out right away. With popup and screen on/unlock enabled the screen will turn on - but it will remove the notification and when the screen goes off you won't notice you had a message.

Another option from handcent would be incredibly useful here: notification reminders. After 5/10/x minutes another notification sound/vibrate for unread messages.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I think the best solution is to not have the popup mark messages as read unless A) you respond or B) you hit a "mark read" button.

Always better, when unclear" to keep the notification unless otherwise directed.

Thanks.

MMS, Keyboard bug

Hey Devs,

Recently when using Go SMS whenever i attached an MMS and tried to type a following message my keyboard pulls up, but the text input area doesn't move with it, it gets covered up. I'm using AOSP 9.9.2 with Swype, i don't recall it ever doing that before but its recently been doing that. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Thanks again for a fantastic app, Go SMS > Handcent/Chomp

Hi there,

iam trying to get a delivery report when the sms acually is recieved by the other phhone. not when its send.

right now its like this. i turn the other phone off. send a sms with my phone and direct after sending go sms says sms send (notifaction bar) and if i check the report it says recieved. but its not cause the other phone is off. any way to get a real report when the sms has reached the phone?

and how can i check when the sms was send if my phone was off?
[Android Apps and Games] JacksFull:
will a 'blacklist' feature be added? that's the only thing I miss from handcent.

and one of the new year theme shows up as an update on the market but says "the requsted item could not be found" every time i click it.
[Android Apps and Games] wtam1100:
So I tried messing around to see if the enter keys works with any of the keyboard apps I have installed. With the default keyboard on my phone I have the enter button. But everything else I get the smiley button instead. Not really happy about this since I have never used the stock keyboard and dont plan on either. I have concluded this to be a issue with the Go sms and something that their dev need to look at. Once again if I am wrong someone please correct me.
[Android Apps and Games] Zweistein82:
Hi,

first of all thanks for this great app!

But I've one problem when typing a new message with more than three lines.

Than the word-suggestions of the keyboard (stock and touchpal) start hiding my last typed line...

I think the problem is the resolution (QVGA) of my device...

I hope you can fix this small but annoying issue - handcent hasn't this problem, but i want to keep on using lovely GO SMS ;)

Regards

Is there an option to change the mms picture size? it resizes on send, but it makes it hella small. Me and coworkes commonly shoot pictures of various projects back and forth, the default messaging in the mt4g is perfect, gosms makes em too small to see.
[Android Apps and Games] wierdo124:
Dev, you mentioned that the conversation screen "load more messages" button is under development, but it's not that large of a feature, could we get that soon? I can't hardly go to that screen without my droid freezing for a few seconds.

[Android Apps and Games] maleman67:
Managed to clear my Recent contact list by clearing Android Call History.

Will see if recent contact would show a number just once, if I receive both calls and sms from that one number, or will it show duplicates, one for received calls, and one for sms received. Should only show once, in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] btchycowgirl:
no contact name

Inbox only shows the phone numbers not the name how can i fix this
[Android Apps and Games] Kshawn:
I love this sms replacement, but can we get a better icon? :S
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Changing it to suit some who do not like it, will just mean others, who do like it, will be disappointed.. myself included.
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly Cyclone:
Love this so far, like Handcent but much better to look at. Hope we can get a good variety of themes in the near future!

Confirm button possible?

Is it possible to have a confirm button "send now?" in your nice program?

Twice I tapped the "send" accidently ;-(

[Android Apps and Games] XyukiAU:
Im presuming all of you whom are having Facebook Contact pictures issues actually have Facebook installed and Facebook Sync option on.

If so, there is a workaround for now which will force sync contact pictures using an app called 'SyncMyPix', get it from the Market. It requires your Facebook Login, but be assured it works perfectly! Read reviews below...

Version 1.39 can't save my changes of the appearance.

It will revert to default appearance setting after restarting the phone, actually, closing the app would lose the custom settings.

[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
More general question :

any idea if the Go Dev team plans to translate their apps ?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Yeah, I like the current icon.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I do, too.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Seems good, others having the same opinion? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Is there any *stk files in /SDcard/GOSMS/log ? if yes, please send back to us, Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Make it

optional

please. Because I find it too troublesome to have to confirm every single sms to be send out. =)

Suggestion to "Quick Compose" change is that when long press the search, the "Quick Compose" should be a popup (something like when the sms pop up notification) instead of loading the full app that goes to the Compose screen. =)

And please kindly continue to improve the SMS POP up screen that it may be bigger. I still find the text area and buttons rather small. :)
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Could you guys kindly help to verify this workaround and post your feedback, Thanks a lot for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
We have test this case, any others meets the same issue? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Great question. as we are planing to support multi-language. any idea? using wiki for translation? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Found a pretty big (I think) bug.

If you get a text with popup in landscape mode, then rotate the phone to portrait, the destination becomes "Unknown" then if you send the message (because you didn't notice) it gets stuck and tries to send over and over and cannot be deleted unless you wipe your SMS messages completely.

I can reproduce the Unknown bug 100% of the time with this method. Get SMS with popup, rotate phone.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Sure. under dev. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MrBusiness:
This must be optional or many of us will leave! Sending SMS must be fast and easy.

I only tap on the buttons when I want to, no security needed!

[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Sorry, we meet one tech difficulty about it. will continue on it. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
For the sake of being thorough, I uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled and confirmed this still happens.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mezzo2pasta:
Hello,

Thanks for this great application, 2 more customisation setting and i'll quit Handcent :D

- Swap sender/receiver balloons (Sender/Receiver on left or right)

- Set font (size, style, ...) for message input field .. Or is it there but i couldn't find it ?

Thanks again ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Sylvia:
Yes, such a "confirm button" optional - that would be an good idea:

People who send many SMS don't need it, but maybe there are other like me who don't send them so often and sometimes tap the "send button" accidently!
[Android Apps and Games] charlyee:
Every so often, the app takes a very long time to open. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] myHalici:
I can translate it in Turkish.

and i have a problem.

i am using latest version of GO SMS.

And my received sms date stamps are incorrect.

For example now (while writing this message) i sent a sms.

23:10 in turkey.

And receive sms for that sms after 2 min.

Its date stamp is 22:12.

My time settings are correct, but i am using Turkish.

Phone: Galaxy S, Darkys 7.8 ROM and Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] TheShayWay:
This is what I mentioned in my previous post too. Could have an extra menu level where you can choose between styles of the incoming bubble styles. Then replicate for the outgoing bubble styles.

EDIT : just a note that I think you should have all the options available on either side.
[Android Apps and Games] wizputer:
Excellent messaging application replacement.

Looks cleaner and performs better than my old favorite, handcent, on my heroc.

Just 1 thing I'm missing is the ability to set per thread/contact notification settings.
[Android Apps and Games] SK328CI:
i posted this a bit back, but I still didnt see it in any of the newer version.

is it possible to have a "Resend" option for failed outgoing messages?

it could work like Handcent where you hold down on the failed message and its listed in the options that come up, or it could be some type of arrow next to the failed message.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Developer - pretty please??

Exactly what I asked a few pages back, got no response.
[Android Apps and Games] dcmarch:
double go sms popups

Anyone know why I get double le pop ups from go SMS. This is NT from the stock messanger it has two go SMS with different themes.
[Android Apps and Games] Kshawn:
True I really wasn't thinking that true. Well maybe we can design a few and have votes? Personally as an aspiring designer of sorts I find the icon hard to look at...maybe i'm just picky. Any-who I have no problems whipping up my own if everyone votes to keep it the same. It is just a personal aesthetic after-all.

Keep up the great work guys.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
I'm continuing to have problems going from Portrait to Landscape mode in the pop-up. It refuses to switch to landscape no matter what I do. It only works when the phone is already in landscape when I receive the text, then I can flip it back but never back to landscape again. It's quite a problem because if I want to write a nice long text, I want to be in landscape, which requires me to go into the full app which defeats the pop-up's purpose.

Thanks for listening. You guys are absolutely fantastic. Great support.
[Android Apps and Games] sagarjawaress:
Does this app has security screen lock option? like handcent SMS has ;)

sorry i culdnt get it:( uninstalling.......
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
is there any prevision in adding support to the contact pictures like the integrated messanging/handcent that both shows the facebook picture without joining and manually messing with all the accounts?

additionally: does this app supports adw.notifier?
[Android Apps and Games] JMQUINT00:
for me it wont send picture messages, they get stuck on sending forever, evo 4g stock, and yes i enabled the auto retrieve on mms
[Android Apps and Games] Melon_Bread:
Looks cool, the only issue is that I use google voice for all my texting, don't happen to know if there is a way I can use my gooogle voice texting on Go SMS
[Android Apps and Games] The_Tech_Ninja:
I wish there was a way to flick between conversations like google talk.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Like eBuddy too. Where we can swipe the screen left/right for the previous/next conversation thread. :P
[Android Apps and Games] kindiboy:
Would it be possible to completely uninstall the stock SMS app and use this instead?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
No. GO SMS takes data from your stock SMS app to display your SMS in GO SMS I believe. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Would love to see this also. I didn't know any other apps had this feature but I always felt like every messaging app needs one because I often find myself texting more than one person and swiping left/right is the most intuitive and fast way to switch between conversations.

That's one feature that would set this app from Handcent/Chomp, easily. +1
[Android Apps and Games] hosion:
Did you guys recur this issue? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
this happened to me. it was coming from the new years theme. i uninstalled it and all was fine.
[Android Apps and Games] jourdan:
I'm having problem to run this app (v1.39) on my Garmin Asus A10. An unexpected error has occurred, crash when it was launched.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Zodiac:
does anyone knwo if its possible to replace the notification icons?

Overall i like this sms app more then handcent, but handcent has much cooler looking notification icons
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Sigh I begin to realised I am not getting notifications on new sms again or else it takes too long to notify. I think I am done with GO SMS. =( Back to ChompSMS (for now...). Sorry.

Edit: It may be because I had to reboot my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
Facebook contacts still don't show after new update.
[Android Apps and Games] benjimatt:
Wow this would be amazing and would truly set this apart from handcent and chomp. +1 for this idea
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
syncmypix works great
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
This would be a fantastic feature!
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
yes as stated, please make it optional.

also the facebook thing. all you do is download syncmypix, open it, login, and it syncs your facebook to the numbers. though all of mine have synced fine. i only use it to sync recent pictures.
[Android Apps and Games] vincent.hsy:
Just updated to 1.40

Now I can see a contact photo for one of my SMS.. The photo seems to be taken from Facebook. But this contact does not even have a photo in my default contact list (People app)

I don't have any Facebook photo synced to my default phone book (HTC Desire HD's People app).. and I don't use 'Facebook for Sense'.. and background data is off & auto-sync disabled.

So how come Go SMS is able to pull the contact photo from my Facebook account? Kinda spooky :)
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
bug on LG optimus one: we have a "1 message" notification on lockscreen until we read sms from stock SMS app

i updated to 1.4 and MMS problem fixed, note to developer.....in settings, under conversation settings you misspelled backgroud (wrote backgound) its not a big deal but ur like me that likes everything to be right then you will care

Great Job !!!

Great release.

Facebook pics: Still working perfectly

Yay!
[Android Apps and Games] arokan:
Great app!

It would be nicer if you change the smiley button into return/enter key, just like in handcent sms. I think many user here needs the return/enter key.

Thanks

Thanks, I've almost made the switch from ChompSMS. It just runs slightly faster. Same story with Go Launcher and LauncherPro.

You're the same team that makes Go Launcher, right? Go Launcher is featured on Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/5724233/go-la...-to-your-android-home-screen?skyline=true&s=i
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Seems cool, will have a look, any more info are welcome. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Basically, since newer conversation threads are moved to the top, you should be able to swipe left (to go to the thread that is above the one you are looking at) and swipe right (to go to the thread that is below the one you are looking at). That would honestly be one cool feature that the competition doesn't have and I would love to see it happen.

Since the app and pop-up are so rock solid, it would be fantastic if you guys added a widget that is aesthetically pleasing (key factor there... most widgets are dirt ugly), possibly even matching the theme you have in the app just like the pop-up does. I doubt this would be difficult because it would essentially be the pop-up that is fixed on your homescreen.

Just some ideas. Thank you, devs. :)
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
that would be awesome. though i would only want it if we could get it without slowing the app down, thats key.
[Android Apps and Games] ReiKo90:
GO SMS is great app but problem is with Android's stock SMS app. If you delete it then SMS doesen't function properly (it lags in GO SMS and there is no notification sound). If you disable stock SMS app notification it works OK but in main menu there is annoying icon which gets number of SMS you get by it. It's really annoying...any way to disable that too?
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
i'm not sure how does go sms works either compared to handcent...

basically handcent is able to do everything stand alone... even if the official android messanging app is killed and not running...

gosms instead is just showing the popup (no notification sound/no vibration/nothing written in the notification bar) when an sms arrives... :/
[Android Apps and Games] ReiKo90:
ahhh **** if you freeze stock SMS with Titanium Backup, same sympthoms comes as if you deleted stock sms...arghhhhh
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
You have to set Vibration to "Always". By default it's only set to vibrate when you're on silent. Also enable the popup. Statusbar notification is on by default.
[Android Apps and Games] evcz:
statusbar notifications weren't working on mine (sms notifications disabled on the official android messanging app)

with "autostart" disabled the start of "messanging" in case an "sms arrives"
[Android Apps and Games] Sian:
Is there a way to change the colour of the font in the popup window when there is an incoming message?

Some of the font colour is pretty dark to read it easily. E.g. dark theme with dark font is bad for outdoor. Recent update allows the change in font size is good. Default size is too small too. Good to be able to change colour as well.

Edit: Another feature I LOVE of Handcent is customised notification tone for each contact. This way I can differentiate between my loved ones and normal friends. Any chance of incorporating this?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Thanks for allowing us to change the font size of the popup sms. =)

Suggestion to "Quick Compose" change is that when long press the search, the "Quick Compose" should be a popup (something like when the sms pop up notification) instead of loading the full app that goes to the Compose screen. =)

Allow us to also customise the duration of the vibrations for incoming SMS? Short, Long, Etc.

App Work's Great I Love It(:

[Android Apps and Games] Alegis:
I'm not sure if this is true. If you use autostarts to disable the standard message app from executing when there's a wap-pull intent - you won't get MMS on handcent - that's from my experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Alegis:
Silent mode in important tips is interesting :)

My wishlist (in order of preference):

Pop-up screen: do not automatically 'read' the message. if the screen turns off (automatically after x mins) the notification is removed, and you're left unaware that you actually received a message.

Notification reminders after 2/5/x minutes. New vibration/sound alert if a message is still unread, convenient.

Real 'message received' confirmations. The current ones do not display time stamp (and apparently according to someone else in this thread are only 'sent' confirmations, not actual carrier received confirmations like for example in handcent I'm not sure how true his claim is as I don't have 2 phones to test with, but he tried with 2 phones with 1 receiving phone powered off and it still said "confirmed")

Flat conversation style (android default) as opposed to bubbles

Looking forward to updates! 1-2 cause me to miss new messages so that makes the app completely unusable for me. 3 is likewise important so I know when to consider information as unread and 4 because bubbles are a terrible eyesore.
[Android Apps and Games] vordhosbn:
please add a lock feature! that's all it's missing
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Not sure what you mean by flat convo style, but if you look in settings it's quite easy to customize the look of the style, getting rid of the bubbles is as easy as making them transparent.

Bug report (as previously mentioned a while ago, still an issue):

Say I have a thread get started at 2 PM. We text back and forth for a few hours. For some reason, randomly, maybe every 4th thread, instead of the newest text being at the bottom of the thread, a random earlier text is shown at the bottom, though it got read a few hours prior. I can hold down and delete that message. But then the text that was receieve right after the just deleted text, so it was naturally read hours ago, will then move to the bottom of the thread. I can scroll up a little, and see all of the most recent texts right in order, but for some reason, an earlier message is showing up at the bottom almost as if it was unread and ignoring the time stamp.

Any idea what this is?
[Android Apps and Games] deiisel:
hey is there any way to add contact pictures? im using a g1 stock 1.6 so it doesnt have the facebook sync option. is there a way you can add the option of importing the contact pictures i already have?

handcent already does this, and its the only thing keeping me from using this.

edit; maybe an option to manually add contact pictures
[Android Apps and Games] hosion:
v 1.40 ask the priviledge for account authority and the theme saving bug still exits.

I have reinstalled the handcent sms.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, the account authority is used by FB sync, we have removed the non-necessary three of them today, and will included in next release.

For the theme saving bug, could you please descript the scenario , we will fixed it quickly. Thanks
