The app registers an SMS receiver that should always listen for new messages in the background, even when you close the app. I suspect that it might be getting killed for some reason -- could you please check if background execution is enabled for the app? On my device this setting is located in SMS Forwarder -> App Settings -> Battery -> Allow Background Activity.
I have also done a clean install on one of my spare phones; I'll leave it running for the next few days and see if I can reproduce the issue.
Hi!
Thanks for getting back. Yes, Allow Background Activity
is enabled for SMS Forwarder.
When it did not work earlier, I killed both the SMS app and SMS Forwarder, then restarted SMS Forwarder first. That still did not solve the problem, but I did not pursue further.
Upon reading your email now, and making the battery check, I decided to test it again, this time, it forwarded an SMS. I will monitor further and see there is a consistent way to reproduce it.
Thank you.
Hi,
I think I found the issue, my setup is SMS Forwarder -> HTTP -> XMPP, things seem to be breaking between HTTP and XMPP. Sorry for the false alarm! Will get back if I do see issues between SMS Forwarder and HTTP.
Thank you!
Hi,
The app recently started to stop detecting SMSes after running for a while, i.e. SMS was received by phone's SMS app, but no action taken by app. I tried SMS Forwarder's
Send Test Message
and it works.Any idea how to figure out why this happens? Thank you.
