Hi, thank you all for kde-connect, it's just awesome! Today I realized that sending a quick-reply SMS via the Desktop App does not show the SMS in the sent history of Signal (Secure Messenger App). As the receiver confirmed, the SMS itself was sent. My sent SMS does show up in in the system's pre-installed messenger App. Other information: - Signal is configured to be the default SMS App. Opening the pre-installed messenger App also confirms that. - I did sent a regular SMS to a contact I am not connected with via encrypted Signal Messaging. I am not sure how complicated that is, but maybe one can add an integration into non-default messenger Apps or specifically the Signal sent history? Maybe the changed default SMS App is just not honored properly? My System stats are: Debian Liunux 9.1 "stretch" Android 7.1.1 (Oxygen OS 4.1.7) KDEConnect App 1.6.6 (F-Droid Version) KDEConnect 1.0.1-1+b2 (Debian Package) Signal App 4.9.9
The suggestion is not fomulated very clear. I wanted to ask for: "Maybe one can add an integration into the actual default messenger App if the default was changed from the pre-installed app to an other (such as Signal)?"
This bug was reported already some weeks ago, but I can't find the other bug. Anyway, this happens due to certain SMS apps having their own message database instead of using Android's, and there is not much we can do about it. Seems like a problem with how the integration with external SMS apps was designed in Android in the first place...
*** Bug 389125 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am changing this bug to CONFIRMED as I have the same problem on LineageOS 14.1 in conjunction with the fork of Signal, Silence. It has the same problems that Signal has. However, I don't think this is our bug. I think this bug is more in Android/Silence/Signal so we probably should file bugs there.
As mentioned before, there is nothing that can be done about it in KDE Connect
