Hmmm... It's been a couple of days with no updates released.

I hope they haven't abandoned this project.

Dear All,
I have just sent an email to all on the Beta Team. Please check it out and reply via email.

We are making a consolidated list of ALL outstanding issues so that we can attempt to fix them all in one shot and close in on RC1 (release candidate).

Thanks,
Ani.

8330m running V4.5.0.169 on alltel

I received the latest update from Ani this morning. After installing the Threaded SMS app, the help screen shows up and recommends to "Block incoming SMS" to the native SMS app. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do that.

Can anyone help?

--Ariel

Go into Options > Security Options > Firewall and place a check next to SMS.

Thanks!

Dear All,
Wait over!

Empower Threaded SMS is now available. This is a true threaded sms client for BlackBerry - instead of a simple list, you can view your SMS neatly organized in conversations grouped by your individual Contacts. And, just like the iPhone SMS, you can view each conversation in IM style and reply like in SMS chat.

How to Install: Please point your BlackBerry Browsers to www.getempower.com/ota/ or to computer browser to www.getempower.com for a trial install. The app is also available on all MobiHand powered sites including blackberryapps.com

Thanks much to the beta team who helped test it out and improved it with their feedback.. Julie, Shilpa, Eric, Tom and everyone else - it was nice working with you...

For everyone.. take the trial and when you are ready to purchase just type the code tsms50offbbf to get a cool 50% OFF! Please note, this code expires in 3 days, so please make sure you use it before it expires.

Thanks & Regards,
Ani.

Thanks ani!! it's awesome to have you release it! )

Scratch that

Thanks, Ani! The app is working great on my Tour with 4.7 OS.

I just got this app. I love the interface, but I have a problem.

I cannot send from app, but can received. If I use the native app to send it works and is shown in this app. But that is a pain and I'm sure is not how it is designed.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or a possible fix?

Same here. Recieved messages show up fine in the app, but the replies are not making it through to the intended recipient. I can send from the native app without any issues. I'm on 4.6.0.304 if that makes a difference.

Oh, I don't receive any email from you
Email:

One other note: the connection method somehow changed from default to WAP2 late in the day yesterday. Web browsing slowed down to a crawl when I could get through at all afterwards, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed. It's a nice app, but I'm uninstalling for now.

The connection method changed by itself? Central just displays the connection methods available and uses the one which is selected. If it changed by itself to WAP it means that there was some issue with the Default connection method.. (either the bb was in an area for sometime where default connection could not be established, or some service book issue). You can simply reset the connection to Default if it is allowed.

I did set it back to Default, and web browsing went back to normal. It was pretty odd to say the least. I was in the same area for the entire time this was happening, but I suppose it could have been a temporary outage in the vicinity. The fact that the data connection went back to normal immediately after I switched the connection method back to Default would have to be a pretty big coincidence if that were the case though...

I removed the app mainly because the sent messages weren't being received by the intended recipient. As stepchild said, the interface is awesome. I just couldn't justify keeping the app on the device if I had to use the native SMS composer anyway. Perhaps I'll give it another shot to make sure that it wasn't just a random occurence.

its working fine for me so far. i haven't had any issues whatsoever.

just a question ani, if i update my OS, and you've got my OLD OS registered, what would be the procedure or would it automatically register?

It looks like the issues I was experiencing were probably due to the data outages people were reporting yesterday in the US. Guess they just started up a bit earlier in my area. Time to give it another shot! Sorry for doubting the Empower goodness ani! LOL

8830 running 4.5
I would be interested in beta testing if you need any more testers

Upon further review, outgoing messages still aren't being received. The data outage issues seem to be resolved (at least in my area), so I'm fresh out of theories as to what could be causing the problem. Did you figure out how to resolve the issue stepchild?

No, I'm still having the same issue. Ani had me get a new empower central and used it to send a bug report. I hope this help's them find and fix problem.

Good deal. Hopefully things work out, because the app looks pretty sweet. I'd love to give it a shot until AT&T releases OS 5 officially for the Bold (if that even happens before it's time to upgrade devices next November...)

There are new updates out. Fixed send problem and everything seems to be working just fine. Might want to give it a try.

Great and I mean great customer support.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it another shot.


Update: Looks like everything's good. Good looking out stepchild. Thanks for the hard work and great app ani!

Dear All,
Yes, we have the new update that provides integration with tones on newer devices

Also fixed are send issue that few users were having on their devices. Please update your copies to v1.3 ota from www.getempower.com/ota or DM at www.getempower.com

Ani.
