SMS/MMS Application

[jeffreynothing43]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other texting applications other than Handcent, GoSMS, or Pansi...

My issues with each.

Handcent: MMS works intermittently
GoSMS: Contact pictures constantly refresh when I scroll through texts or open application up
Pansi: Too buggy

There's this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mms.ics.ext#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLm1tcy5pY3MuZXh0Il0

It's pretty much exactly how the SMS/MMS app is on Ice Cream Sandwich (in fact, it IS the app as it was ported from ICS).

It makes me want ICS more, it's really really nice.

I don't have this happen in GoSMS. I like everything about it except for the app icon.

In the settings for GoSMS you can disable how it matches contacts. I believe it has options to match them by name, phone number, and email. The more you check, the slower it loads. I believe the fastest implementation is matching by phone number.

I currently have it matching by phone number only.... It still refreshes each avatar as I scroll or exit/enter the app. Just curious, how many threads do you have in the application?

This week I downloaded Chomp SMS. I like it so far.

While I'm here, do you have any suggestions for syncing facebook profile pictures to my contacts?

HaxSync, well worth the dollar or so.

Says it isn't compatible with my device.. Looks like ICS only.

Just a question, how are these other SMS apps better than the stock one?

I don't really take advantage of all the extra features of GO SMS, but it has a lot of interface options (themes, color tweaking, etc.), it can split text messages that are over the character limit, you can schedule messages to be delivered at a certain time, create backups (and schedule them) and create folders.

I'm sure there's other stuff. I know on GOSMS you can create little sketches to send (called 'doodles') and all the silly smilie stuff...plus there is a file sharing feature I've never really looked into.

Also...if you're like me and haven't rooted and don't have ICS, it has a screenshot feature (although it's only screenshots within the application itself).

I find it slows my phone down and causes crashes too. I've installed several times to test to see if it is the app that causes the issues and I think it does.

I like that the app is able to send MMS (which the native app struggles to do), but I dont need the other stuff. I just want a clean simple app, like the native one, that just works!!!

I use GoSmsPro on my stock SNS4G but for some reason if it goes over the character limit the second text is all weird icons. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[bugz_92]

Use handscent.

 

[crackberryscott]

Go to Settings->Send Settings and then check the split large messages box.
