3 years ago Hi. A few off-hand thoughts:
- I haven't touched this repo in forever.. but I'll definitely look into it
- great timing.. since:
- I've had CDMA service for years and was forced to switch to GSM earlier this week.. as the result of T-Mobile buying Sprint.. and subsequently dismantling their CDMA network
- "silent messages" only work with GSM.. and I was never able to test this feature.. until now (TBA)
- any message about "this action may cost money.." is coming from Android.. it's not part of the app
- possibly a runtime permission issue with Android 6+; what version of Android are you using?
- you may want to..
- go to: Android Settings > Apps > this app > Permissions
- if there are any required runtime permissions unchecked, then check them now
- run this app again.. and see if that made any difference
I'll take a closer look sometime in the next few days.. run a few tests.. report back what I find.
I'm still shopping around for a better GSM handset.. had to downgrade to an old one with Jellybean that had been sitting in a drawer.. since the shiny new one that I purchased and wanted to use turned out to be incompatible with T-Mobile (even though its specs say it has the necessary frequency bands and it's globally unlocked). Crash course in the joys of GSM.. I guess.

When I tried to send a silent message to my other phone, my phone showed me a message that said "This action may cost money..." (smth like that), ane I accidentally clicked on 'Cancel', and now when I try to send a silent message again, It doesn't work. Also when I whitelist my second phone, and send a sms that contains '[ping]' to my first phone using the second phone, I don't receive the data sms. I tried Reinstalling and clearing the app's data, But it doesn't work.
