To ensure proper background running please:

Check that access to “Do Not Disturb” mode is allowed

Go to Permissions – check that all permissions are given

Go to battery – manage battery usage – set DO NOT OPTIMIZE

Go to data usage – set unrestricted data usage

Additional “risk factors” – third party apps.

Apps that claim to Save Ram
Battery-Saving Apps
Data Savers
Phone Cleaners
Antivirus Apps

The idea behind all these apps that claim to boost your memory/ battery etc is to systematically close apps running in background.

How to send MMS: Attaching Images /Video

Once MMS service is purchased (in your carrier plan), you can attach images/audio files/ video files to your replies on the Add/ Edit Screen

Keep in mind that this will always use the phone’s messaging service to send an MMS and in the case of video the size you can send is limited; possibly to less than 300KB.

We recommend changing the camera settings to record lower quality videos which will be smaller.

How long can SMS message be?

Based on his personal observations and on analysis of the typical lengths of postcard and Telex messages, Hillebrand (The SMS concept developer) argued that 160 characters was sufficient to express most SMS messages succinctly.

Short messages can be encoded using a variety of alphabets: the default GSM 7-bit alphabet, the 8-bit data alphabet, and the 16-bit UCS-2 alphabet. Depending on which alphabet the subscriber has configured in the handset, this leads to the maximum individual short message sizes of

160 7-bit characters,
140 8-bit characters,
70 16-bit characters.

GSM 7-bit alphabet support is mandatory for GSM handsets and network elements, but characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Cyrillic alphabet languages (e.g., Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, etc.) must be encoded using the 16-bit UCS-2 character encoding

Multipart or “long SMS” can be sent using multiple SMS messages, 6 to 8 segment messages are the practical maximum. So you can reliably send out up to 1,000 characters in a text. The Android phone will split the SMS message up every 160 characters (especially important if you have a link in your text).

The receiving handset is then responsible for reassembling the message and presenting it to the user as ONE LONG SMS MESSAGE.

You can transfer these files from SD card to your Windows computer.

There are two ways to transfer statistic report( pictures or files) from a SD card to your computer:

First method:

Remove the card from the device and plug it into a memory card reader connected to your computer.

Note: Some memory card readers are installed on a computer, while others are portable and can be plugged into a computer through a USB port.

Windows will recognize the card and offer you some options for transferring the files or pictures on the card to your computer. Select Import pictures and videos to transfer your pictures and videos or select Open device to view files to pick and choose which files to copy to your computer.

Why it’s not free?

Unfortunately, it takes a lot of developer time and money to make, test and keep a full featured app like ours so we can’t give it away free of charge. Sorry.

Why your apps do still has some bugs?

Even the world’s most successful developers still get bugs in their apps! Look at apps (products)from Google, Microsoft, and Apple, and you will find bugs, errors, and even crashes!

Some things are impossible to fully test on development servers, and only real live campaigns reveal everything. We always run our own campaigns for testing apps, but that isn’t always perfect.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We know every small interruption causes our customer’s revenue losses and we are extremely sensitive to that.

We appreciate your patience and understanding!
