First of alle, Great work to all the developer team from GO SMS.

I Love the interface and the smiley. However, I sure do miss the "quick" write new message shortcut, when you hold the "search" button down for a few seconds. This would allow us to write a new message very fast instead entering the GO SMS application.

Handscent has it, and I hope you guys will make it too.

Looking forward to the future updates, thx.

Really? In front of the lockscreen?

Wasn't t in the past, that it was behind the lockscreen?

[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Very good update!

Right now, I believe a high priority should be adding a number indicator to the notification icon showing how many new messages there are, even if it is only one.

Making it so popup messages can be left "unread" by maybe pressing the back button, or integrating a small "mark unread" button would be great. Basically, make it so the only way to mark the popup message read is to click on the x. One idea I just thought of now is to get rid of the x and replace it with 2 iconic buttons, one for mark read and one for mark unread. Just an idea...

Also, giving us the choice for the number of vibrations for notification would be nice, too... for me, 1 vibration is better than 2, someone else might like 3, etc. etc.

Small typo when in a popup, tapping on the contact's photo brings up the message, "Confirm to call.name?" instead of "Confirm to call name?" Small thing, but maybe the yes and no buttons should be capitalized to Yes and No. Just want GO SMS to look as polished as possible :D

Finally, one very small suggestion: when we press the menu button (to bring up batch mode, search, find, preferences, etc functions) and press any of those buttons, I think it should make the android menu noise (/system/media/audio/ui/Effect_Tick.ogg).. hard to describe, but it is the same noise the phone makes when we click on anything like a conversation, text bubble, item in a menu list, etc.

LOVE IT - though couple small issues for me

happyllj - REALLY LIKE THE APP! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!:D

I've only found a few of issues ... oddly, I don't have the same concerns as everyone else ... :p

For me, I use my messaging for Email/MMS more than Text/SMS ...

1. When sending a message to an email, I have to type out the entire email address. Can you make it so it will search contacts and find the corresponding email address?

I've tried the other SMS apps ( Chomp/handcent ) and they don't do it either, and I currently have a work around, by sending initial message through stock app (which autofills email addresses). But I would love to make this the ONLY message app I need.

2. When I receive a photo, a play button displays. Can you display the photo thumbnail instead? Then if the user clicks the thumbnail, it opens larger photo, or something to that effect? And can you remove/set/adjust size limit??

----- This following issue is minor, and I'm not sure it's app related. This may be the new ROM I'm using, because since I rooted my phone, I've had the problem across all apps ----

the reason I say it's minor .... because the popup will display the message time correctly ... but for some reason, in the actual thread, the time is incorrect.

3. Timestamp - some messages come through with the correct time, others are off by 5 hours. I've tried using the Offset option, but it doesn't correct the issue. Even when using the Offset option with Chomp/Handcent, it changes ALL the messages, not just the ones with incorrect time stamp. Is there a way to, 1., make sure the Offset does work, and 2., applying it to only the messages with the wrong time.

I will GLADLY donate to your cause .... you're responsive, and willing to listen to people's concerns and work with them .... HELL OF A GOOD JOB!

Keep up the great work and THANKS!!

- JB

I actually posted a 4th item in this post, but then found that it was working, and I had failed to properly adjust settings. My bad.

Only my original post applies. Sorry for the wasted space.
[Android Apps and Games] crevier:
nice app, but looking for better inbox

Wondering if you can add an option that allows me to see all my incoming text messages in the Inbox. Right now, the Inbox shows me a list of people who have sent me messages and I have to click on a person to see all of their messages. That's not an Inbox. I need it to be similar to my e-mail Inbox (and similar to every other cell phone text message functionality that I've used), where I simply see a list of incoming messages. And with one click, I can view that one message. And viewing that one message automatically marks only that one message as "read".

Also willing to pay for an app that has the stuff I need. Doesn't have to be free.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Good update -- haven't addressed all of the issues yet but I can't blame ya.

What's really bugging me at the moment is the fact that if the screen is turned on for any reason (whether GO SMS turns it on, any other app, or the user) and then is turned off with a pop-up on the screen, the notification is removed but the pop-up remains. This is a huge problem because if I receive a text and don't see it before the screen turns off, I will never know because the LED will turn off because there is no more notification. And I can't just not automatically turn the screen on because I don't want to click the power button everytime I get a text (every minute or so...).

Would love to see a fix. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Coolaaron88:
Would love to have it unlock my screen and place the quick reply box so I can reply instead of having to unloack my phone to reply
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
This feature was included in the latest version.

Go to Settings > Notification Settings > Popup windows settings > Check "Unlock screen"

One thing, when you press the menu button on my SGS to reveal the options, there's no haptic feedback. Will you add this? Thanks, 1.18 works perfectly!
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
You really need a 'Donate to me' button happyllj...

EDIT: Sorry for the doubley post! :D
[Android Apps and Games] snazzymasta:
Wondering if we can get a dark theme. A lot of people are skinning Gingerbread and such to their phones (myself included) and this could match really well.

Thanks for the quick updates, it's really great to see. Hopefully we can get that Facebook contact picture sync working soon as well!

EDIT: Also a screen for undelivered messages would be wonderful!
[Android Apps and Games] jpen:
is it possible to have the "unlock screen for popup" not have any buttons or anything on it so you dont accidentally hit something when in pocket or where ever....maybe have the popup ontop of the lockscreen and you have to unlock it to reply or close or what have you....
[Android Apps and Games] Stelth:
Thank you for the app!

I like it. However I missed options to change color and size of the text and contact name.

And I noticed that when I am trying to choose a contact from the list to compose a new SMS the application slows down on my HERO. I haven't got such problem with other SMS applications.
[Android Apps and Games] cybamin:
Ugly icons in App Center. how can i disable goChat? it **** my RAM :(
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
I tried them about six months ago, and I liked Go SMS better. I don't remember what it was that Go SMS could do that Handcent couldn't. Maybe it's worth trying them again.

Because I'm starting to get royally pissed at the way Go Team is handling their development. Instead of fixing bugs that have been around for awhile or adding features users have actually been asking for, they added *chat*? And Lucky Code? What the hell were they thinking?

Sorry for the rant. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ruicc:
Hi,

I just installed Go SMS Pro....don't know what version....

But i couldn't believe it....i couldn't believe in my eyes....

Colors and pictures were ok...fabulous!!

WELL DONE, GO TEAM!!! NICE JOB!!

Nice integration with ICS 4.0.1. on my Galaxy S

Thanks a lot, specially to Zelendel...

Handcent? Someone's gotta be kidding....:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] redneck_666:
Whenever I use an AOSP or CyanogenMod based ROM, the first thing I do is install a good portion of the GO products. I like the customization options they provide.

Since I've been fooling around with an ICS beta, I haven't downloaded their stuff in a while. Even though ICS is AOSP, I haven't really wanted to install a secondary launcher. No idea why. Maybe I'll give it a go later on.
[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Hi,

i come from Handcent and recently installed Go Sms Pro.

I think Go Sms is above Handcent in many aspects.
[Android Apps and Games] Sigurd02:
Does it say "(GO SMS user)" in dark blue for anyone's contacts as well? I only see it for one of my contacts and he doesn't even have an android phone.

I tried to test it by registering and logging into GO chat on my phone and looked at my contact on my sister's phone (with go sms app) and it didnt say "(GO SMS user)" next to my name.

It sounds kind of ridiculous, but what causes that line to show up next to people's names?
[Android Apps and Games] TruSlide:
voicemail issue

I'm having a problem with my voicemails. Since I installed gosms my voicemail application no longer notifies me that I have voicemail and the visual voicemail has no log. Instead I get a text message from the number via gosms saying I have a voice SMS. does anyone know why this is? In the help menu on gosms under the troubleshooting there is something about security and voicemail but when I click it it doesn't fix it. Thanks for the help.
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
I can't send mms (data is on). Receiving works, but sending does not. With stock sms, mms works fine.

Scrolling

Has anyone noticed how terrible scrolling is now?

I've been experiencing stuttering for quite a while now add go devs don't feel it necessary to reply to any queries or feedback. They are just mute!
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
If you mean the main conversation list, it was very laggy for me for as long as I can remember.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Few points/responses, only numbering out for my own clarity, lol.

1. The Go Devs haven't been active consistent participants in this thread for quite a while now. That's their choice of course.

2. App performance for me is great. No lag, bugs, stutters, etc etc. This is on a Galaxy S 2 (Sprint Epic 4G Touch) and a Motorola Photon.

3. I'm not having any issues with sending or receiving MMS via 3G, 4G, or wifi. Happy to try and give ideas if you provide details on your issue.

4. I periodically test Handcent for fun and in my testing, as of mid-Nov (version 3.9.something) it still has an issue with partial wakelocking.
[Android Apps and Games] jmejiaa:
Yay, this thread is active.

Like the app, bu I hate the bottom bar in the compose screen, is there an option I'm missing to remove it?

EDIT - found it.. I always search for ****, never find it and then right after I post I find it... lol
[Android Apps and Games] mbutandola:
Yes exactly. It's just so annoying!
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Just wondering how big your massege DB is. I have never had an issue except when I tried to restore my SMS from a different os base. But once I removed them I have never had a problem sense.
[Android Apps and Games] Charmed :):
What information? mms works with stock (sending), but doesn't with GO Sms. Receiving works on both...
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Have you made any changes to the MMS options within Go SMS (like message size or resolution)?

Have you verified with people on different carriers? Have you tried sending to yourself?

I just figure since it is working for some (presumably many) and not for you that maybe it'd prove useful to try and figure out what combination of circumstances is creating the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] jaibar:
I really like go SMS and used it for quite a long time.

Then, I discovered some issues with SMS controlled software such as Theft-Aware: goSMS would intercept all commands and display them (including passwords) thus rendering apps like TA, Cerberus and the such pretty useless.

I assume it is not of big concern for many users, but good to be aware of...

Other than that, I like the app very much (and their launcher is my favorite :) )
[Android Apps and Games] mbutandola:
I'm not sure I get what you mean by "different os base". All my messages are restored from Android and it's not a long list of threads. Some threads just have a couple of messages. Scrolling up and down is not butter smooth. Besides, I get jitters within a thread if there are a lot of messages in it.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
When I went from a 2.1 android os with sense 2.5 to 2.3.3. With android 3.0 is what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please check whether your phone's free momory is too low, e.g., bellow 60M. Is it smooth before GO SMS v4.0?
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please try to turn off "Disable other message notification" in Receive Settings.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
If i could theme this app a bit more i would use it indefinately, but as it is, it just doesnt fit with the dark theme on my phone.

I am using handcent at the minute which i can customize better to suit the rest of the phone so it doesnt look out of place.

If i could get a proper black theme for this with maybe iphone style bubbles with proper black background i would use this app.

The only dark one i could find was not really dark it was sort of grey and didnt look nice.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please provide the voicemail message, number, voicemail provider; we will try to check what is wrong. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Fixed the issue with ICS, please try. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Ill let someone else reply to this as I only used ICS for a short beta test and won't be going back until there is an officail release for my device.
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Please make sure you can see your file in the "Select a file to restore" in Restore SMS - "Advanced"
[Android Apps and Games] happyllj:
Thanks, we do listen, but we can't implement all the requests, we are trying to implement features that most users needed, and fixing common issues.

I have plenty of ram on my Galaxy S II. Usually more than 400 Mo. And yes it was definitely smoother before v4.0.

In adding all those new features you've lost in smoothness.
[Android Apps and Games] NovaMa:
One question: how GoSMS determines if a user is a "GOSms User"?

Today, my wife was "marked" as a GoSms user ...but she doesn't have an Android phone, either! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
Really? Most users need a *chat* feature? And a theme lottery feature? And an apps manager? And you're saying that most users need these things from an **sms** app?

By all means, please provide a foundation for that statement. Because I have not seen a single person ask for them.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Most of their users don't report here. They use the built in report feature. Don't get me wrong I will never use these features myself, hell I don't even link FB or use the malware ridden chat but it is in the end their product. If they want to add it who are we to say no.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
We are their users. Without us, they don't have a basis for the product to exist. I understand that it's their product, and yes, they have the right to do with it as they will. But that doesn't mean that we have to roll over and not express our disagreement with it.

This is *especially* true for a developer that touts user feedback so strongly as a marketing point for their apps.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Our feedback? It doesn't say built on feedback from XDA? I understand your not happy with it but you have to understand that the people that use this thread make up maybe 10% of their users. Alot of people are social networkingaholics so to them there is nothing more important that connecting to FB. No matter how many virus and malware programs use FB as a perfect gateway. And yes the chat is able to be hijacked by a spam bot. It is nothing new. Now while I agree that there are things I don't like and think they should be removed all we can do is tell them in a post and then let what happens happen. If we really want a user based SMS client we should work on making one. Well now that's an idea.
[Android Apps and Games] jaibar:
I tried workaround a couple of times in the past, but it was tedious to repeat after each gosms update.

Anyway, gosms were contacted by theft aware developer and apparently got no reply whatsoever.

Moreover, this "problem" is not accidental as it looks, and can affect lots of apps so is of concern to many users- not only those using TA.

You can read more about it here (and I guess googlIng can provide more info): http://forum.avast.com/offline/forum.theftaware.com/viewtopiceb25.html#p8572
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
I never said "we" referred to xda only. I was referring to users in general, because that's what you appeared to be referencing when you said that it was their product and who are we to say no.

And even people for people who are into social networking, I have still never heard of any of them expressing a desire for a lottery or apps manager in their sms app. Not here, nor on any other site.
[Android Apps and Games] I'M NOT YELLING:
Alright, is there a way to TRULY disable GoChat? I have a few people I contact that use GoSMS but I don't need a reminder telling me to remind them of GoChat.
[Android Apps and Games] jmejiaa:
I just put it in lite mode and use the basic SMS part, what do you mean by disable exactly
[Android Apps and Games] mbutandola:
Don't know the language you're using but mine is French but will try to do the translation. You need to go to settings --> application settings --> custom mode and uncheck go chat. Hope that's what you've been looking for. :)

Is any one having issues with sms being sent to wrong person? I am three times now! Some one help please
[Android Apps and Games] Javs2010:
YES! Happened to me a couple times already

Sent from my ICS Nexus S
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Have not had this issue. I have seen this pop up on ICS roms that were built from a port that was not intended for the device it was put on
[Android Apps and Games] Dimeezy:
I'm having the same problem. Almost had a major problem yesterday. I will have to uninstall until this is fixed
[Android Apps and Games] gplock:
How do we get this fixed! Sucks
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
First. Lest leave the cursing for somewhere else.

Second lets see if we can find the common issue as I am not having this issue at all. All my texts have gone to the right person. Spent all day testing it yesterday.

I am having an odd Mms issue though. After sending an Mms if I go back into the app it will show the Mms sent but it will still have the pic loaded in the Mms box like it didn't send.
[Android Apps and Games] jmejiaa:
Yes, I have that issue was well. I emailed them about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
I have this, too, and if I continue the conversation by sending another msg, the pic is sent with it again. In order to avoid this, I have to delete entirely the thread and enter the recipient's # to send a new msg.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I just click remove before I send the next one. It does ring as really odd though. I am gonna set up log cat to run and leave my phone connected for the next 24 hours to see if i can find anything to help
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Clicking remove is admittedly a pain in the ass, because one has to do it constantly. I delete the thread and begin anew.
[Android Apps and Games] jasvncnt1:
Is there a way to send a quick sms? I mean is there a way to get the sms window to come up to send a message without going into the actual app?
[Android Apps and Games] jmejiaa:
You can send it from contacts... Not if it's quicker then..
[Android Apps and Games] eddiehk6:
for me, i can assign new message window to open whenever i long press search button (HTC Desire). don't know if there will be a similar way for your phone.

still technically goes into the app, but straight into compose mode, rather than inbox.
[Android Apps and Games] jasvncnt1:
Thanks, think thats what im looking for
[Android Apps and Games] Foreverme89:
Maybe I missed it going through 300+ pages but ...

Is there a way to hide the phone number in the conversation window? I screen grab texts sometimes and I would like to be able to send them without going in picsay and blocking out the contact's number. I've tried googling and messing around in the settings but no luck.

If not, I think I might be going back to Handcent even though I love the GoChat integrated with it.
[Android Apps and Games] lohtse:
what the heck is wrong with gosms pro4+???

At first I thought it was my i5700 just being an arse but then my partner started complaining of the same issues on here i5500....

Theses being:-

Incredibly slow to open (10 seconds+)

Slows phone down whilst receiving a message.

Sometimes the app will not open at all unless till perfomed a reboot..

Slow to move within the app menus and screens..

These issues didn't occur before v4 and happens on different phones..

As a test I used a backup phone(HTC Hero) to see if same problems and at first no...But within 2-3 hours they occured...

All phones have android 2.2 on and hero was factory reset so no extra apps at all.

Now to a feature would like to see enhanced.

Auto response.. Please add the ability to choose single contact or group and an any length personal message...

is there a way to deactivate go sms and android smileys?? i dont need them and just want to see a smiley like this: ":-)" because i dont like the fact that there is more space between the lines with go sms and android smileys.

Also we are constantly getting that little menu box come up with "Force Close/Wait"

please sort the issues out as seems to be memory related or similar...
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Issues with the latest (and possibly last version):

Galaxy S II (Sprint Epic 4G Touch running Calk's 2.5.1/2.5):

- If I send a picture message, the person will get it hours (or even a day) later.

- MMS will get saved as a draft even after I send/remove it, everytime I reopen a thread. (I can remove permanently it by going into the stock Messaging app)

- If I send a long message (split for CDMA), the recipient will only get some of the parts. This has cost me a friendship, because the girl I was talking to didn't let me explain the whole story -__-
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I don't have much advice (you've been around these parts long enough to have tried the easy stuff, I'm sure)... I did want to say, though, that I am using the same phone but the Venum ROM and do not have this issue (both on the EK02 and now the EL13 version). I did have the MMS bit once (I send a lot of MMS messages) but since it was just the one time I chalked it up to having sent it in an area where I had really poor coverage.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
No, there is no way. And there will probably never be a way, because I have asked for it many times in this thread for a loooong time. I hate to be "that guy", but Handcent had this option since day 1, as you would expect.
[Android Apps and Games] gershee:
+1 to the mms getting saved as draft. thought I was the only one. I didn't notice the other 2 issues but I think sometimes when receiving long SMS (split) I don't get the whole conversation.

anyone have any ideas? so frustrating.
