I have made these two requests on the GO SMS Pro blog countless times with no response, so maybe it will do better here.

1) There needs to be an option to sort the notification pop up window. Currently, it shows the OLDEST message, so when a new message come in you have to scroll through all the messages to get to the latest one. I think by default it should show the NEWEST message on top of the stack. The whole point of the popup window is to give quick access to the newest messages, it's really counter productive to hide the newest message at the bottom and make you scroll through them all.

2) The VOLUME BUTON actions need tweaking. When you are in the Messages list they work as expected: Volume hardware buttons control RINGER volume. However, when you actually enter a conversation, the volume buttons suddenly control the MEDIA volume. Is there a specific point to this? I think the volume buttons should ALWAYS control the ringer volume while you are in GO SMS.

Hopefully someone from the GO team comes around here, i've had no luck contacting them directly so far.
[Android Apps and Games] lamensterms:
hey sian,

did you ever find a solution to this problem?

im having the same issue at the moment using version 3.75.

thanks for any help.

--------EDIT---------

Just read the few posts above - i might have to play with the widgetlocker settings or try a different lockscreen.

cheers.

I have learned not to expect any sort of response or affirmation regarding user feedback whatsoever. I know many people have asked for your #2 request in this thread. #1 I will be frank and say there is no way they will listen to you on this.

I have come to learn that you have to expect GO to stay the way it is indefinitely, and in every update all they do is "optimize" things and add new themes or tweak their proprietary GO MMS thing... actual improvements/added functionality/added options are extremely rare and the last time they added any of the above I believe was back in summer.
[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
That's really unfortunate. They are clearly in very active development and release new updates weekly, you'd think they would care more about what users are asking for. I really wish they would leave theme development to outside users and focus on their apps more. GO Launcher is getting really clunky and they keep adding useless things instead of fixing performance issues. That said i still find their apps to be the best in each category, but they could do so much more.

I really dont think either of my suggestions woud require a whole lot of work to fix either, they are so simple and really the only problems i have with GO SMS. I hope that you're wrong about this, yet suspect that you're right.
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
why can't we manually choose WHEN we want to bakcup? I don't want to backup at noon. 12am is ok, but I'd rather set mine to 2am.

What happened to being able to SET the specific time?
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, for the first one, we have not received such suggestion before, we think most user accept current design. for the second one, because there may be voice message in conversation, we let the Volume Button to control the media(voice message's ) volume, we are trying to optimize it.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, you are WIN. we do listen, but can't satisfy every requirement, we need to do lots of balance. and BTW, theme development cost us very little time; most of our time are spent on UI, UE, performance, etc. Thanks for your understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] iBolski:
I love Go SMS and Go Launcher. I've used them ever since they came out.

I do have a question. Last night, I was sending a picture I took with the Droid X2 to my wife's phone. But, when she got the text, it didn't have the picture attached to it. Instead, it had a link in the message to some http site. I eventually sent it via the stock messanger app.

My wife does not have a smartphone and she doesn't have internet access, just unlimited picture and text messaging.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You accidentally attached the picture via GoMMS instead of MMS.
[Android Apps and Games] ImSherlocked:
Hi thanks for the great app.

by the way are you aware of these issue? Go SMS Pro + WidgetLocker is a nightmare!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Judging by the worsening of the two apps interaction after Widget Locker's latest beta... I'm leaning toward the issues being Widget Locker problems. I don't KNOW that, just my feeling.
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
On performance: let the market check for updates, don't do a network call at each launch, it slow down too much the launching.

And see if the memory footprint can be reduce.

Feature request: gesture to trigger template (like Cyanogen stock sms app).

Keep the good work

[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
I've posted these issues on the GO SMS blog since 3.71 and every release since then. Most users don't take the time to write issues like this on developers blogs, but i guarantee there are a lot of users who would like the popup window to display the most recent message first, rather than the oldest. Isn't it worth looking into making it an option for users who don't like the current design? I know this is over simplifying things, but adding an option in the Popup window settings to choose either ascending and descending order for sorting messages displayed seems like a very simple thing to do. If people like the current way of displaying the popup window they can choose it, no one will get upset. This is actually a fairly large annoyance for me.
[Android Apps and Games] mslatter:
Just fyi, Hanscent works ok on my N1 and still using SMS popup as it's what I've been using.... Go SMS continues to be a No Go. Even after the latest version, when a text arrives, I get a half second vibe and that's it. No audio at all, even though when I "Test Notification" in setup it seems to work fine...
[Android Apps and Games] lowrider262:
3.5.9

for anyone who wants it, heres Go SMS Pro v.3.5.9. its the one that still lets you chose your own MMS pic viewer, and it doesnt have all that extra bloat theyve been adding lately (go chat, scribble, camera, etc.) MMS works great, all themes including newer ones work, everything works flawlessly.:D
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I would like to request to GO Devs for the last time:

-Please allow the option to remove the paperclip button next to the compose textbox.

-Please allow the option to remove the big editor button (in both conversation view and in popup view).

Like FixedTheFernBack said, having options won't disappoint anyone and will make everyone happier. GO SMS's appearance customization option list is half size that of Handcent's. Handcent has both of the above options.

Once go is enabled it would replace/deactivate it. You can just add go to the home screen and remove the stock icon

[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:

I've made these suggestions time and time again:

1) Allow us to set a specific TIME/day/whenever for backup of SMS. We can select the time and hour of the backup for the SETTINGS already, but not of the SMS itself. Why? This was a feature before, but it seems GoSMS took a step backwards. How about you allow scheduling kinda like Titanium Backup? Maybe not so complicated, but I want to schedule my SMS backup at the middle of the night at least, not at noon.

2) URL shortening. This should be an option because it requires DATA, but if Twitter can URL shorten on the fly, we should be able to for SMS. After all both Twitter and SMS are limited in # of characters, so it would be useful to have URL shortening as a feature if we wanted.

Thanks!

Edit:

3) iPhone users can do group messaging where they send out a group text and Apple codes the MMS to have multiple recipients and so when another iPhone user replies, it performs a Reply All. My 4 iPhone friends were having a group chat and I got all their stuff, but when I was replying it only replied to individual users. I forced them to take it to Whatsapp, but sometimes its annoying that we don't have this feature for MMS/SMS. I would like GoSMS to be able to handle this. Certainly this needs to be a feature because it uses MMS (hence data) instead of SMS protocol, but is initiated *like* a text/SMS.

I am just wondering if there are plans to make gosms fully compatible with ICS? Currently it works fine, but the names associated with phone numbers don't show up.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I am sure it will be once ICS is available on more devices. Right now there are not enough devices with an officail ICS Tom to be able to troubleshoot any known issues. Mainly with alot of the changes coming with the OEM UIs that will be updated to work with ICS
[Android Apps and Games] ruicc:
I'm sorry, but i can't agree with that!

Apps like handcent, currently they working better on ICS than GO SMS

So...why let us keep waiting?

So, why can't GO SMS PRO devs make an effort and make a good job, making this great application compatible with ICS?

I've listen that the upgrade to ICS was coming, maybe since may this year...time enough to prepare....now the time has come...so please, do your work...and don't wait to have 10000000 devices with ICS.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
You know you seem really demanding for a free software. Just knowing an update is coming can not prepare you for code changes and how the OS will interact with the app. Now I am sure they will get it updated. Just have sit back and wait. Mainly if your using a hacked together version of ICS and not an officail version which alot of us will never see. Also remember that AOSP roms have always had an issue with app compatibility. So once an official version is out it will be far easier.

Scheduled message sent notification

Is there any way to stop a sent scheduled message causing a notification?

I have the scheduled message feature set to send a daily message to another phone, but it always displays a notification icon and the default sound.

Anyone knows what's wrong?

[Android Apps and Games] ruicc:
Hi, zelendel

Ok, you got a point on that...sources code changed, but for example, install handcent on a ICS rom, and it seems everything works fine.

Now, install Go SMS Pro...an you'll discover that colors don't match when you choose a theme and pictures don't appear....

I think that's not too difficult to correct this... and remember, your application is an android market leader....

Well, don't feel that i demanding, that's because i like Go SMS Pro, and i want that working fine on ICS....i was taking by surprised when i saw that wasn't working fine...

Ok, i'll wait....i know that you gonna make a good job.

[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
To those who have been making requests/suggestions for improvement, I have a hunch that if GO SMS devs really are building upon community requests (as stated in their app description, "We improve GO SMS continually according to users’ feedback"), it is NOT from feedback in this thread. I think there must be some Chinese forum where their influence comes from because clearly no one in this thread has been asking for anything provided in the past several months' updates, nor has much of anything asked for in this thread been implemented or fixed.

This is just my hypothesis based on following this thread since it began, in fact since GO SMS Pro existed as GO SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
Agreed. I'm seriously thinking of uninstalling GoSMS and going with someone else's product. I was contemplating that anyway, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. But with 4.0 adding so much bloat, I'm *really* at the tipping point.

Has anyone come across a superior replacement for GoSMS?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
The only thing that comes close is Handcent. I am not seeing the lag alot of people are talking about.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Handcent, without a doubt. If there is anything I want changed in it, there is almost always an option to change it the way I want. This is obviously not the case for GO SMS and I experience no lag with Handcent whatsoever. There was a noticeable performance difference back when I had my super old HTC Hero, but with my G2 (now over a year old) there is no perceivable performance difference between the two. Just my opinion on the matter.

Has handcent finally fixed the wakelock issue when popups are enabled. A wakelock occurs until the text is acknowledged/read....even if it's 7 hrs later.
