What SMS app are you using? It works for me with the default one in Cyanogen, and in some other phones that I have tested, but it might not with other specific SMS apps. There isn't much we can do about it, though. You could report it to the developers of your SMS app. Also, as of now there is no way to send an sms without replying. I used my phone's default one and I also tried "Textra SMS", they both have the same behavior... I think for debugging and confirmation it would be very useful if you could propose me an app from the store that works for you in order to confirm that this is because of the sms app and not of my android version for example... thanks a lot... The app in the Play Store works for me. I confirm I have the same behavior in 1.6.1, with stock message app from CyanogenMod (Android 2.3.3). Let's note also that I have two apps creating backups for my SMS (they send it to a mail address), and none of them pick them up. Maybe the differences between your behavior and ours is the API version (I see there are some behavior changes in the docs starting from API 19). Or maybe it's because you use SmsManager instead of an intent using the default app. I have no idea, I'm not an Android dev. Anyway, I see that behavior too, so I can confirm. A detail that could help you : when I use https://github.com/everythingandroid/android-smspopup to type and send a SMS, it is saved, backuped and seen by other apps. I've released a version in the beta channel of the play store ( https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.kde.kdeconnect_tp ) with a fix for this. Can you test if it fixes the issue for you? I'm sorry to say it, but no, it didn't fix it for me. I still don't see the answer written on the desktop in the discussion. Which Android version are you using? Oh, 2.3 right? It might be something that only happens on super old versions... Yeah, 2.3.3. It's probably an issue of this old version, indeed, but as I said earlier, when using https://github.com/everythingandroid/android-smspopup, it works flawlessly. And they are open source... ;) I could try some of the things they do in that app, but I don't have an Android 2.3 to test if they work or not :/ Maybe someone experiencing the same problem could give it a try and submit a patch? I have the same issue as OP on the slightly more recent Android 4.2.2 version with the stock SMS/MMS app. Same issue here on Android 8.0 with Huawei Mate 10 Pro. It makes no difference between send via kdeconnect on Plasma, or send via cli like this: kdeconnect-cli -d 56d6255284028542 --send-sms %t --destination +%N My wife's phone is also an Huawei (P8 Light with Android 6.0), and there is the same problem. I'am using here KDE-Neon Useredit with kdeconnect 1.2 and on Android 1.6.6. Some SMS apps don't show SMS that are sent outside of them. There's nothing we can do about that from KDE Connect |
