My messages weren’t correctly synchronized. What should I do?

A few users have reported that some of the SMS on their Android smartphones were not being synchronized with the web application. If you’re using GoSMSPro on your Android smartphone, that’s most likely the cause of the problem.


Please follow these steps to get sync working:

1. Start GoSMS on your Android smartphone

2. Open “Menu” - “Settings” - “Advanced” - “Receipt Settings” and deactivate “Disable other message notifications”.

3. Check to see if your incoming SMS are being correctly synchronized with the web app.

4. If it doesn’t seem to be working, restart your smartphone and check again for proper syncing between the smartphone and the web app.

5. If syncing still isn’t working, we recommend that you uninstall GoSMSPro to take care of the problem.

Why is there sometimes a delay in receiving messages?

The cloud-to-device functionality is only supported for Android OS 2.2 and greater. If you’re using a previous version of Android, there are some things you should know.

When using mysms Web to send a text message via your network service provider, mysms has to be manually started on your Android device in order to ensure the timely sending of your texts.

There can also be a delay when sending messages when using mysms friends.

If you’re using Android 2.2 or later and the person you’re sending text to is using an Android version prior to 2.2, receipt of the text message can be delayed. If you’re getting a text message from such a contact, it should be transmitted without delay.
