I can't figure out why, but I keep getting duplicate conversations. I'll have two threads for the same contact for no obvious reason. I've looked through thread and couldn't find any answers..any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I go back and forth between gosms and hanscent. Right now I'm back to handcent. For the longest time I couldn't send MMS. Couldn't even download them. Somewhere something changed my apn settings. I dug and finally used titanium backup to wipe the sms/mms/apn data. This fixed the problem. Tested with handcent a few days ago at the time and it sent over 3g and wifi. This is on my sprint EVO.

Noticed gosms had an update so I re installed. Unable to send mms over wifi, only on 3g but it is slower. I don't know if handcent even sends over wifi. It could just be that it switches to 3g to send. I jus.t don't see it.

Is there a setting in gosms to make it work over wifi? I tried entering the apn settings but no joy.

Also, I give up on asking the devs to make persistence conversation mode. It send it is the fault of the multitasking app causing it to reload. The only one I found that doesn't reload is Prehome.

Another suggestion is that I wish for a setting to be added for screen orientation. Auto, landscape, portrait...

Sorry go devs. Have to stick with handcent for now. The mms issue is a deal breaker for me.

When sending MMS, are you using regular MMS or GO MMS?

Not sure if it means anything. I've never used GO MMS, just regular MMS through GO SMS and it works well.

I'm using i5700 and Im having problem using Go Sms Pro v3.62. I cant set notification ringtone. I tried to set to System ringtone and select the ringtone I want to use but when I test it, there is no tone on it and when I check again, it goes back to Current ringtone..

What in the world is the To Do button on Popup for?

Using this on my Evo rooted with stock rom. The popup works but the To Do button seems to not. Assuming this is for scheduling a later sms? I receive a popup notification, type in some text, select To Do and the popup disappears. I then open the app to looked at the scheduled folder and there is nothing.

Can someone please explain how this is supposed to work? The help section in the app is nice and simple, but that can be a problem when the app isn't working as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
The ToDo button on the popup is used to close the popup without marking the message as read (thus retaining the notification icon on the top bar). Hitting the "X" button closes the popup and marks the message as read.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
dmarden explained what it is above. It's just something lost in translation, as GO SMS devs are in China.

I searched through this thread, but didn't find an answer to my question. I really like to use list view, but the same background for sender and receiver makes this bad usability. Is there a way to change this, didn't find an option.

Seems like I get several force closes randomly with 3.62... I'll receive a text, and it will hang, and then either prompt me to wait or force close. If I choose wait, it hangs again, and prompts to FC again. Seems to be happening when I receive a new SMS message.

First time it happend when I received a SMS, my SMS's wouldn't send anymore after I rebooted my phone several times (even with the stock SMS app). Had to clear my texts...

I've searched this thread for an answer, but all I could find relating to my search was tons of people saying the contact pictures aren't showing correctly...

Is there any way to hide or disable contact pictures in the thread list (before opening a message thread)? The majority of my friends don't have Android devices so of my 80+ contacts, only 4 have pictures. I've done this in GO Contacts and it looks much cleaner this way... Since I don't see any settings for this, is it perhaps something I can change in a theme?

Is it possible to have an option to not convert SMS to MMS when it exceeds 3 sms, because I pay my mms.

And why is there not a return receipt for mms?
[Android Apps and Games] lockzackary:
hello sir happy

I would like to thank you for the very wonderful free work you're giving us on the go sms app

i'd just like to ask if its possible to add a toast message everytime a message gets sent thru go sms?

i mean, whenever i send sms's, i tend to press the back button immediately after clicking the send button and for now i just promptly listen for my "message not sent notification" in case something goes wrong

simple request though i think more people would find it useful

than wait for the sending message icon to disappear?

thanks a lot again and more power to the go dev team :)

Why does market say i dont have the latest update? When i have updated nothing is changed...

Same thing with Go Launcher EX.
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
I have that regularly happen with quite a few apps at random, I think the market gets confused sometimes...
[Android Apps and Games] tameracingdriver:
I've been using this for a while, and generally like it, but if there's one thing I'd like to request, its to stop that popup window appearing to tell me there are new themes or updates, quite irritating when it appears when I'm in the middle of typing!

I've had a look through the options but don't recall seeing an option to disable this, unless I've missed it.

Preferably I'd like it to just notify me via market like most other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You're definitely talking about the themes popup, not the "no backup" popup?

I only get the themes popup once after an update... do you get it more often?

There is an option to disable the backup popup if that's the one you mean... it's called health check.

Version 3.63 still unable to send receive mms via wifi. Using a rooted evo on sprint. Just to be clear. Using the gomms button it works. But the mms one fails. I refuse to use the gomms button because it sends as a link. I should be able to use the sprint network to send using the mms one not gomms.

Also, please return the quick message through the button next to the input box. I refuse to use the stupid up arrow for big edit box which needs to be removed......
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
For what it is worth, I have an Epic 4G and a Nexus S 4G on Sprint and the MMS sending and receiving works fine while connected to WiFi.

Typically (I'm not saying there aren't other workaround that apps might/could use) this is a ROM/phone thing. I remember when the Epic first came out it couldn't send/receive MMS on wifi because it didn't know to switch to 3G and back. Devs fixed some setting somewhere that Sprint later rolled into an official update.

Anyway, not exclusively a Go SMS issue, I don't think (and I also avoid the GoMMS and use only the regular carrier MMS through Go SMS).
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
Are you using Juice Defender by any chance? A friend of mine installed it and realised straight away that he couldn't send or received his mms over wifi anymore. Disabled it and he had no more problems with mms over wifi... I know it's not the same phone/ network as you though but worth mentioning just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] WildSioux:
No juice defender here.

Not sure why the mms is not working for me. How long does it take for mms to sends for you? On handcent it is about a minute.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
For those trying to send mms over wifi, carriers do not allow this. What normally happens is that even though you are connected to wifi it still sends it over your carrier data connection. What might be going on is that it is not swapping over to carrier data for the mms. I had this prob with CM based roms. If I shut off data on a normal rom and run only wifi data my mms sends fine. But if I use CM based rom (they must use a different setup to shut off data) and shut off data mms wont work.

Hi

I discover some bugs or strange behavior :

I setted up a private contact in the "private box". The configuration is as follow :

- Enable notification ON

- Hidden content ON

all the others option are off.

When I set up "Enable Popup window" to ON the windows popup show the content of the private sms clearly even if the "Hidden content" is ON.

Another behavior

Sending a sms to a private contact (previously added as private contact)from the standard message box, shows the sent sms. It should ("in a perfect world") be transfered to the private message box automatically.

thx

The new update isn't bad, just don't get the Chat thing...

However I DID notice that MMS picture previews open up IN gosms, and they're unbelievably small...can't I just friggin open it up in my own gallery (that's what I install gallery apps for...)

I also don't like being forced to save pitures in the specified Go folder. Or can I change that?

Does Go SMS provide any features equivalent to Handcent's Privacy Box? I can't live without this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Darth Vader:
Sadly, I can't use GoSMS anymore. Every time I send a message, including messages of FEWER than 160 characters, it splits the outgoing SMS into smaller 2-line texts, and the recipient sees texts of unintelligible gibberish. For example, when I sent a message to a friend this evening, the text was split into SEVEN tiny ones, each of a few dozen characters, and each message was:

(it goes on; that's just a sample of the message's content as seen by the recipient). The remainder of the text is similar unintelligible gibberish.

WTF is THAT???

Received Timestamp

Hi All,

I have posted to every site that I think can help me but no reply.

No harm trying posting here. I have been using Go SMS Pro and love it.

I hope GO SMS Pro can implement the fix below.

When a SMS arrives and my cellphone is turned off, the data/time displayed is "wrong", i.e. it's the data/time of the "effective" receiving date/time...BUT I would prefer to have the data/time of the SENDING time (like NOKIA phones!)...I see the date/time when the SMS was received and NOT when it was sent...is it possible to fix this issue ?

Until now, all SMS apps use always "receive time" and I think that it's wrong, since it is better to know when the SMS was sent in order to better know how to reply to the message!!

Cheers...

You can fix the "issue" in stock SMS application, at least on CM7.

I had a suggestion....I have people in my Private Box so no one can see I'm texting them and have it hidden....well when they text me it says Private Contact so it kinda gives away that i have people hidden...is there a way to have it say something different that only us go sms users will know? Maybe like keep the icon but have it say GoSMS Update or something that doesn't relate to private contact but us users will know what it means?
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I assume it's a simple fix, but a recipient of mine has complained that I've been sending a lot of double texts lately..."lately" I've been using Go SMS. In the Important Tips and the messages when I first use the app, etc. it says a lot about double notifications and other issues relating to using the stock app. Is there some setting somewhere that would make me send out two texts?

I'm having a problem setting individual contact notifications for contacts that send email to sms. I have about 3 dozens automated alert messages that I get that I would either like to silence or set a differant ringtone. In sms pro I can only set custom notifications if the contact has a phone number, contacts with only email addresses do not even show up, and if I add a dummy phone number the notification only works if the text is received from the phone number.

Is there any was around this? I get a 100+ notifications a day of server statuses that I need to be able to view occasionally but that I do not want to trigger an alert or vibration.

Guys, you must have messed something up in the Greek language translation in the last update.

A few days ago you issued an update for the Greek language pack for GoSMS. (now, I'm not sure if it's the Greek language pack which caused the problem of the base software update). After installing it, many Greek words changed to different meaning which sometimes is nonsense. One example is the list of language selection itself, after this update, instead of showing “Ελληνικά” which means Greek, it displays “Γελάει” which means laughing.

I have temporarily disabled Greek for now but please let me know how I could bring it back to hoy it was before.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
GoSmS seems to work fine. My biggest gripe though is that every time I install a new rom and then install GoSMS and restore from backup, the notification bar shows I've got 100 odd new messages.

a) This should never happen if the sms is from a restore.

b) Even after I mark all as read and clear the notification, when I reboot, I get the same damn notification again!!!

re: MMS send failure on my rooted stock sprint EVO.

I have done some more tests in sending MMS using gosms "MMS" button. Still doesn't send over wifi. I have to turn off wifi then it sends using the 3g data. Or, use stock messaging or handcent which I still have installed atm.

I know mms uses network data. But it seems on my sprint evo that gosms fails to send mms if connected to wifi. Failing to switch to 3g. At least on my evo. The stock messaging as well as handcent do but I don't see the wifi icon change to 3g. Must happen behind the scenes.

The other thing is I have been trying that multitasking app by royerd. Not sure what you guys did...but it seems that using it now returns gosms back to conversation that was last left before switching apps. Will keep testing but so far so good!

Just need to fix the mms issue.

EDIT: nope, it is still being closed with using multitasking app. Yawn...

Is it possible to add URL shortening features? Like using Bit.ly or something?

Make this an option definitely because it would require data from people who don't want to use data on their SMS.... But if you think of a 160 character text like a 140 character tweet, we save every character when we can on twitter by eliminating the http:// now and having URL shorteners.

Cant we have the same on texts?

I've been using Go SMS 3.31 for a while, and have been very happy with it. I know several of the updates since then have either been buggy, or have had people very upset regarding changes to the UI.

How is the current version? Is it stable? Have there been any unpleasant changes to the UI since 3.31 (that haven't been reversed yet)?

SMS sent timestamp

Hi GO SMS Pro developer,

I like yr apps so much. It is perfect (well, almost perfect).

In your coming new version, can you include the below enhancement?

++ Sent time instead of received time. If you turn off your phone, messages you get whilst it's off will have the right time!

[Android Apps and Games] WildSioux:
3.64 still unable to send MMS over sprint network "mms button" with wifi on...sprint evo rooted 2.3.3 stock gb. Sends fine after turning off wifi using 3g.

I have noticed that with 3.63+ sms sends faster than before. Great job go devs!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I forget if you told us before... does MMS work on that same setup when wifi is connected and using your stock MMS app? You still keep the stock MMS app installed and not frozen, right? (Just notifications disabled)
[Android Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Yes, mms sends with stock messaging app with wifi on. The stock messaging app isn't frozen. I just have notifications disabled.

In fact, a few days ago I tried sending mms with gosms. After a few minutes of it just stock with the moving mail icon next to the picture. I opened up the stock app and hit resend. Within 30 seconds or so it sent. I didn't have to turn the wifi off or anything.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
That sounds really weird, because I think unless you tell GoSMS that the stock client is uninstalled, it just uses it for those functions. I could be wrong, of course... but that was my impression.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
That is odd indeed. As i use it and never shut my WiFi off. It switches to send the mms without fail everytime. I am really starting to think it is phone related as it has no issues on both of the devices I have tested it out on. Even works when turning off mobile data with the extended power menu.
[Android Apps and Games] tkm20:
I seem to keep getting duplicate messages within GOSMS (the go sms count actually reads "2" when getting the duplicate message). It doesn't do it everytime I get a message though. Under the receive settings I have the "Disable other message notification" checked, and have also disabled my stock sms. I don't have Handcent installed. I've uninstalled go sms and noticed that the stock also gets duplicates as well. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
If you uninstall gosms and still get duplicate messages in the stock client, I don't think gosms is the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] tkm20:

[Android Apps and Games] sirbrian:
there seems to be a bug in 3.64. (3.63 was fine)

each time i start typing a sms, the dictionary/words prediction does not work. I have to delete the word then type again then the word prediction will statr up, however it will leave the first letter together with the predicted word. eg:

type wrongly as word prediction not working "helo"

backspare to clear "helo"

type "h" "e" "l", saw the predicted word "hello", selected it

AND I go "hhello"

This is the first time i face a bug in GO Sms Pro.

Even if I choose other keyboard input it is the same.

I restored back to 3.63 via Titanium Backup Pro and now is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] dannyng:
Actually I can long click on the message and 'Message Option' is popup.

I can view the sent time at 'View message details'.

Anyway, hope the new version can give us option to choose either 'received time' or 'sent time' in the sms timestamp.

Note: That will be perfect, 5 *****

Is there a way to add a picture to the text box. Without having to put the same pics in my "contacts". Its a rather frisky picture so I don't want people to see it in my contacts. But I would love to see it when I get a text from her. But can't figure it for my life. If it matters im using stock everything. And fullscreen caller id. The pic is there. But not my real contacts. Does this make sense. Can some point in the right direction.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
I don't know exactly which update to Go SMS did this, but one of them caused a *major* problem by breaking the functionality of stealth SMS messages.

Now, stealth SMS messages show up in Go SMS (which they shouldn't), and are also blocked from reaching the system (also a big no-no). This breaks the functionality of many security apps like Lookout, where stealth SMS messages are used to communicate with the phone in the event it is lost or stolen.

This MUST be fixed ASAP.
