I have the latest Go SMS Pro installed on my phone, and I still can't make the BackLight Notifications to work.

I unchecked the "Unlock screen" and "Screen on" and still doesn't work

Any other solutions to this problem? I really didn't want to change app just because this small thing.

EDIT: I was using the self-checking notification, and that didn't made BLN work.

When I recevied a message, it started working.
[Android Apps and Games] lohtse:
Was great till you started turning some features into premium(eer that's paid isn't it) and add to that the back up is cloud based and not local on device unless it fails to back up to cloud its pretty useless and after all the security breaches online lately there should be a damn choice of online or device...

Anyway both me and partner now removed app from both of our work and personel phones(4 intotal)

Private box issue

I'm facing an issue with private box.

I'm not able to move out a thread: when trying, the job stops at 4 messages from the end (no matter how much is the total amount).

No problem at all with other threads.

I'm on latest version, but this is happening also with some previous ones.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Problem is that it won't backup your private messages.

Bring back local backup again,this cloud backup is useless for me.
[Android Apps and Games] petulinka1:
Local backup was very good feature. And if you restored the messages, there was the right time and date, when the message came/was sent. By using cloud backup is impossible to get the right time and date. Everything has the date and when it was restored.

So, please, bring the local backup back :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
Looks like they returned local backup but added premium features to this new update. Im going off of reading the reviews in the Market, Im not installing this app again.

Is there any other SMS replacement app that doesn't use their own servers for MMS images?

Less features than gosms *BUT* less bloat too.

Anyone using go sms with jelly bean figure out how to get vibrate and ring to work? I only get the ring when I get a new text even though it's set to do both

I cant get to private box after 411 Jelly Bean update. Im trying to set password/pin but I cant ;/
[Android Apps and Games] gabster21:
Same issue here. Seems this is a common problem for everyone with JB, check the reviews on play store.

So this means if a private contact sends us a message we can't even read it until this is fixed! Just great.. This + local backup gone + all the new bloat = switching to Hancent
[Android Apps and Games] erwaso:
been messing with it for aday and facebook pics aren't syncing to contacts. stock AT&T one x ics
[Android Apps and Games] ziolooo:
I believe they fix it soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Hey I got a notification saying "Hidden sender adress" that won't go away. when I clear it in bigxies jb 4.1.1 it just comes back every few minutes. It just won't stay gone heh... Anyone know how I can get rid of it?
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
holy crap. im so sad this app turned to crap without local backup.... wtf are they thinking?

this app was focused on texting. It was a fast app, something that Handcent failed to accomplish. Not only that there were power features. Now it seems all they're interested in doing is adding more cloud features for the sake of having cloud features and stupid paid features to profit.

For something so critical like SMS, I don't get why we don't have good software solutions that have been well managed.
[Android Apps and Games] No.12:
They should return local backup, get rid of cloud thing, chat, and other stupid things. Only good thing is private folder. Who wants other stuff, go premium.

Searched the thread and didn't find it, but in 4.1.1 when I deactivate the stock MMS.apk and just use Go SMS the Ignore Call with a Text option doesn't show up anymore. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
That is because it is hardcoded into the dialer apk to use the mms.apk. if it doesn't find it then it disables the option
[Android Apps and Games] mw90:
Is there a way to go about changing that?
[Android Apps and Games] joedeveloper:
Workaround to get into the Private Box while on Jelly Bean 4.1.1

Copy your pin code (via putting it into any text box and then copying it)

Go to the private box pin screen

Long press on the box where the pin would go

Then "Paste" will show up, paste in what you copied

Then click on "Continue"

This will get you into it for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] toxicpaulution:
They are way to money hungery. I'm using an old backup file before the stupid cloud storage and before all the stupid ads. Including the fact that mostly all the themes you need to pay for. Its pretty ridiculous.

I have serious problems since two or three weeks on my SGS i9000. The app randomly closes, especially after trying to open the typing field. Is there anyone else with this problem or is it just me?
[Android Apps and Games] bunnybag:
So I thought I would try this out since it looks customizable and I was wondering how does it send mms. If I use the Go Share method will it count my files as a text message or MMS?

Also how about sending doodles, handwriting and voice recording? I don't want to start sending them and find out I'm charged at the MMS rate.

Sorry if this has been answered before.
[Android Apps and Games] Nightshadow931:
If u use go share method, it will count as SMS.It will use internet though.

I think it's the same for handwriting/doodle.
[Android Apps and Games] bataya:
So what is best sms app alternative atm?
[Android Apps and Games] cardsfan01:
syncing between tablet and phone

Sorry if this is a question that has been answered but i did do a search and couldn't find it. Is there a way to sync GOSMS between a tablet and home? For example google voice if i get a text message and resopnd to hit then i can go to my tablet and see the text and resopnse. THank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
You may try web sms, webchat.goforandroid.com , send/receive sms from web in your tablet or PC
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Exactly right, Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lexobys:
It is gerting heavier and heavier in each update (even with a light mode on).....so I decided to use the older version,just to gain its original speed. Sad..

Sent from my blek krupuk
[Android Apps and Games] toxicpaulution:
Haha I haven't updated it and froze it in the market so I can still have my SMS backup. Such a good company down the drain because they got money hungry like everyone else.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
I've been using chomp.. It's got a good set of features and fast but missing the option to customize individual ringtones which is an feature I miss from gosms.. But you are all right, gosms used to be THE sms app, now it's getting more bloated and useless than ever... Way to go downhill! I wish someone could just modify the default app to have a few more features

Subscriptions

Now they are going for the subscription based model. They really messed it up good!
[Android Apps and Games] Nightshadow931:
Local backup added as a premium feature. -.-
[Android Apps and Games] Mikulec:
I thought I am the only one that thinks that GOsms is going in the wrong direction with the latest updates, but looking at some of the comments here. looks like I am not the only one.

Did they really added local backup as a premium feature? (I am missing facepalm emoticon on XDA, that would be perfect for this situation).
[Android Apps and Games] butch87402:
Well guess it's back to stock messaging app

Or chomp sms
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Guys I recently switched to Go SMS Pro from stock SMS app. It's a very good app but can someone tell me how to achieve notification on lock screen for an unread SMS?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] mbutandola:
Does anybody know a good alternative to go sms with a light theme and pop up ? I'm tired of this app now.

Handcent. Been using it for a long time now and love it way better then Go. Even more so now that they have really messed this app up good. lol
[Android Apps and Games] soumya_digi:
Does Handcent have private inbox?? Gosms is really messed up now.. Pathetic devs.. :mad::mad:

EDIT : Yes.. It does have privacy box.. Goodbye GoSms!!
[Android Apps and Games] owziee:
I hate to say it but Go Sms Pro is turning into bloatware... It was great a few months ago but now it's getting worse by each update. The stock HTC sms app in the new official 4.0.4 ICS/HTC Sense 3.6 update for my Incredible S both looks and works better imo.

Go SMS is dying, such a shame :(
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
I feel like someone needs to send the developer this thread so they can see how awful their app has become
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
They do look at it as they reply in here every so often. Last time was just the other day. They made the original post too. There user name is happyllj
[Android Apps and Games] toxicpaulution:
Again find a backup from before all this stupid **** happened. I will not update. They are going down the toilet real quick. Money is all everyone is after these days. why can't we have a dev who does it for the people not money?
[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
Maybe because they need to pay for their kids food?

What? You thought your parents magically makes dinner appear on your dinner table everyday?:banghead:

Funny, young kids today almost get offended if asked by their parents to clean their room and think they should get paid to do that. And at the same time they think everyone else should just do things for free...... for them.

[Android Apps and Games] toxicpaulution:
Then make a donate version without filling the regular one with a bunch of crap. I will just keep using one from a previous backup. Then never update in market. If they make it to be a force update I may find myself a lawyer.
[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
Good luck with that buddy. Their program, their decision! Don't like the smell in the bakery, go some where else. Throwing childish threats about lawyers won't do you anything but show yourself as a clueless young boy with no clue to the real world.

[Android Apps and Games] lightbody:
Wow! No need for a war of words gentleman. I do agree with many users that features that were included w the app are now paid premium is a bad move. It's not a very good business model to retain customers or attract new customers. Those who do not value their customers usually end up losing more than those who try to supply the demands halfway.

Also, it would be more profitable for GoDev to make Gochat, facebook, cloud services, etc separate paid plug-ins at a reasonable price and leave the core of the app free.
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
I completely agree. Now local backup is premium... Shouldnt it be the other way around?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Ugh! What the hell did they do to this app in this latest update? I can't get any of my settings to stick. My notification ringtones are gone; it defaults to some stupid system sound. My customized look to my theme is gone; it defaults to the system appearance. I keep redoing it back to what I want, and the next time an SMS msg comes through, my settings are gone and the default system ones are back.

I'm so sick of this app and what the developers have done that I can't even recommend it to anyone anymore. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] franzo6:
I was so sick too. So I uninstalled it and now I use chompSMS. For the backup of messages i use titanium.

I bought the premium version of both.

I'll never pay 10/ year to store my sms on MY local. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Ok first off. For the one talking about his lawyer, get a life. He will laugh at you. This is their program and they are welcome to do with it as they wish. If you dont like it, then do what alot of us have done, and move to another app. The Go apps have gone down hill for a long time, either deal with it or move to another app. simple.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
What kind of idiot here would actually threaten the developers by suggesting an attorney would get involved?
[Android Apps and Games] lohtse:
Great now the new version requires you pay if you send a photo via gomms thats larger than 300k....sod you gosms you gave us a free app and now you introduce charges via the back door.... would not recommend this app to anyone....

[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Here's another MAJOR problem that I've been having with the last several releases...

When I receive a text and reply to its sender, after my reply is sent, the sender (a contact in my contact list) shows someone DIFFERENT from the person who sent it. For example: my dad sends me a text. I reply; it's sent, but in the conversation list it shows John Smith, a friend of mine (with his contact pic there, if his gmail profile has a pic) as the recipient. When I click on the message to open it and read the conversation, it doesn't show one between my dad and me; rather, it shows one between John Smith and me. John then texts me asking me what the message was for.

Yesterday, I received a text from my mom asking me a question. In addition to her, there were 4 others texts listed in my conversation window, including an immediate preceding text question from a friend of mine named Doug. I carefully replied to Doug's text by pressing his message and hitting reply. His contact pic appeared to the left, indicating it was him to whom I was replying. I typed my reply, hit send, then after the message was sent, noticed in the conversation list that my reply to Doug appeared in my mom's text message window! A few seconds later she replied, "Huh? What was that?" I couldn't reply via text, unfortunately, because replies to her were going to someone else. The whole thing was a mess!

Another example: this morning I had 3 active conversations going: one from a friend named Eric, one my dad, and one Chase Mobile banking regarding simple account alerts. I sent my dad a couple texts. No issues. About an hour later I get a text from Chase Mobile about a transaction alert. I read that specific one then deleted it. A few minutes later Eric sends me a question via text. I hit reply, typed my response to him, hit send, then within seconds I get a response from Chase Mobile telling me my entry could not be understood and that I was sending to an unknown recipient. Huh?

I looked at my message that was just sent in reply to Eric. It showed in his text conversation window. I hit "resend message" to try and resend it, and the reply showed sent in his text window. However, a few seconds later I get the same response from Chase Mobile telling me my reply could not be understood. I then called Eric to ask him if he got my last two replied. He did not.

This has been going on for a couple months now. I Emailed the developers, but they never responded. SOMEthing's screwed up here, but I can't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas? Is there something wrong on MY end? BTW, this was happening on my EVO OG and now on my EVO LTE, which I've had for 7 weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] toxicpaulution:
It was only as a joke not to be taken so heavily. I don't have a lawyer nor need one. When they cause a force update on the market then ill jump ship to another app.

:good:Nice app:good:

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] R4e:
I keep getting my settings changing back to default, go sms can't show native ics clipboard, contacts avatar disappearred, and they removed local back up and restore. I would understand if charged for cloud back up and restore which could include pics, music, etc but for LOCAL storage???......Seems a lil petty :(

It's probably best to move on and find another solution. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] joedeveloper:
Ah true, fooled me with the label of added the pack. I just use sms backup or titanium or nandroid so i guess it doesn't matter as much to me
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Sorry, but not all the aforementioned bugs were fixed. There are still problems! The ringtone and notification and settings problem still exist.

Best sms app ever. I have a small request. Could you add a lockscreen to messages and gosms? So that way if someone tries to open your messages or gosms there would be a passcode required to enter in? Thatd be sweet

Sent from HTC Desire Z using XDA App
[Android Apps and Games] Coedy:
I hardly ever get notifications when using gosms, was fine for the first day but now I only get one notification per every 10 or more messages.

Have not altered any settings or installed anything since the first day so ive no idea..

So I have to uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] nahanee20:
is there anyway to make it popup and automatically turn on the screen like handcent? Handcent misses alot of text and this app works better but doesnt actually turn the screen on with the pop up.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowToad:
Yeah this app looks great but as mentioned earlier there are a few things I'll need changed to switch over:

1. There seems to be delay between recieving message and unlocking the screen to show popup. Also the screen will lock it self after a while no matter what you are doing

2. Be able to customize the notification icon in the status bar, I don't really like any of the options.

Cheers!
