GtalkSMS does not receive intents on stock HTC One X+ (requires higher intent priority).

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have recently replaced my phone with an HTC One X+ (which has only just been 
released).  GTalkSMS no longer receives incoming SMS or incoming call intents.  
I am running the stock, unrooted ROM with the stock SMS application.  There is 
no useful log output.

As a diagnosis step, installing GoSMS (which I understand to have the maximum 
intent receiver priority hardcoded) results in GoSMS capturing intents ahead of 
the stock application.  Configuring GoSMS to not block the intent results in 
two alerts, one from GoSMS and one from the stock app.  GTalkSMS does not 
receive the intent.

This suggests the intent chain is functioning as expected and that the stock 
SMS app is not set to the highest priority, but that it is set to a higher 
priority than GTalkSMS.  (And is configured to swallow the intent.)

I have logged this as a defect as it affects core functionality.  It would 
ideal to allow the user to modify the intent priority from the configuration 
menu as this would alleviate this issue.  Perhaps either a free-form int field, 
or a dropdown of possible value ranging up to a signed long int.

I appreciate your work in developing this application.

In the past it was usually GoSMS that has eaten the intents. But your reasoning 
sounds correct. At the moment there is no way to configure the SMS received 
intent priority as it's defined the manifest. And it configured to a very 
reasonable value. I see this more as a bug of the default stock SMS app of the 
HTC One.

Anyway, we first have to verify that it is *in fact* a problem related to the 
intent receiver priority. Are you able to compile GTalkSMS yourself with a 
higher receiver priority or do we need to release a 'patch' release for you 
(which may take some time)?

I agree it seems to be a problem with the stock SMS app on the one x+.  I
have managed to recompile the code with an increased filter priority but I
get an error when installing.  I'll figure that out and get back to you
here.  (I will get back to you here if I can't figure it out too.)

Do you know, is the "person x is calling" report part of the SMS intent?

Just wanted to give an update as to my testing:

I compiled with the maximum receiver priority.  GtalkSMS then provided "SMS 
Received" and "<x> is calling" notifications; however, "SMS was sent" 
notifications were never output.

I have since removed my custom compile and re-installed the current GtalkSMS 
from the Play store.  I now continue to receive "SMS Received" and "<x> is 
calling" notifications and event receive "SMS was sent" notification albeit 
very intermittently.

To be honest, I am now completely at a loss as to what is happening, but the 
functionality that I desire is working for me.  If you see any value, I'm happy 
to provide whatever help I can to run this down.  (Not sure if this will become 
more apparent with other newer HTC devices.)  But otherwise, I guess you can 
feel free to close the ticket.

Appreciate your feedback.  Apologies if I've wasted your time at all.

No need to apologize, you did a great research job and all the work. :)

I don't have a explanation yet about what is going either. I'll leave this open 
as new for a while. Maybe we'll figure it out.

It might be an issue during the first installation and the receivers (call, and 
sms) were not corretly registered.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 JDQ39.XXUAME2 stock. No SMS 
apps installed other than the Samsung stock one.
